Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to a toy seeder. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are various kinds of children's toy cars on the market. Most existing children's toy cars are driven by external forces after children sit on them. There are very few toy cars that children can push themselves. Therefore, they cannot improve children's walking ability and hand-eye-foot coordination. So the functions of existing children's toy cars are still not perfect.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technology provides a children's seeding toy cart. Children can push a lever on the frame to make the wheels roll, and the seed tray on the seed-discharging wheel will carry the seeds into the seed box outlet, allowing them to fall smoothly to the ground. This not only improves the fun to some extent but also meets children's needs for combining entertainment and exercise. However, the function of this children's seeding toy cart is still relatively simple, only realizing the simple process of seeds entering from the seed box inlet and exiting from the seed box outlet. It does not further enhance its functionality and educational value in its design, and its educational effect is relatively lacking.
[0004] Based on the above, there is a need for a toy planter with higher educational value, better playability, and greater appeal to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toy planter that is simple to operate, more fun and playable, and can enhance its intellectual function and educational significance, thereby promoting children's cognitive development while satisfying their need for fun.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A toy seeder includes a vehicle body and toy seeds. A seeding channel is provided throughout the vehicle body along its axial direction. The toy seeds can enter and exit the seeding channel through a seeding inlet and a seeding outlet. A lifting component is provided vertically within the seeding channel. The lifting component is used to lift the passing toy seeds to a preset height, so that the toy seeds descend under gravity and are discharged from the seeding outlet. The toy seeds include a seed germ assembly, a seed coat assembly, and an elastic ejector, wherein:
[0008] The seed bud assembly is movably locked onto the seed shell assembly. The seed bud assembly is provided with an elastic trigger, and the elastic trigger is provided with a snap-fit part. The seed shell assembly is provided with a fixing block corresponding to the snap-fit part. The elastic ejector is provided between the seed bud assembly and the seed shell assembly.
[0009] When the elastic trigger is not triggered, the snap-fit part snaps into the fixing block, the elastic ejector is under pressure, and has the tendency to eject the seed bud assembly from the seed shell assembly.
[0010] When the toy seed is vibrated and triggers the elastic trigger, the snap-fit part separates from the fixed block, and the elastic ejector drives the seed bud assembly to pop out from inside the seed shell assembly.
[0011] Preferably, the elastic trigger includes a hook and an elastic reset member. The hook is rotatably disposed on the seed bud assembly and has the snap-fit portion. The elastic reset member is disposed between the seed bud assembly and the hook. When the snap-fit portion is snapped onto the fixing block, the elastic reset member is under pressure and has a tendency to lock the snap-fit portion onto the fixing block.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic trigger further includes a rotating shaft located on the seed bud assembly, and the hook is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft.
[0013] Preferably, the elastic reset element is a torsion spring.
[0014] Preferably, the seed shell assembly has a limiting groove inside for accommodating the seed bud assembly, the side wall of the limiting groove is provided with the fixing block, the bottom of the limiting groove is provided with a guide post protruding upward, and the outer periphery of the guide post is sleeved with the elastic ejector.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the seed bud assembly is provided with a through hole, and a push rod corresponding to the limiting groove is fixed inside the seed bud assembly. One end of the elastic ejector is limited to pass through the through hole and connected to the push rod, and the other end of the elastic ejector is connected to the bottom of the limiting groove.
[0016] Preferably, the push rod includes a vertical part and a horizontal part, the vertical part is correspondingly disposed in the through hole, one end of the elastic ejector is sleeved on the vertical part and abuts against the interface between the vertical part and the horizontal part, and the horizontal part is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the seed bud assembly.
[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting groove is provided with a first limiting post and a second limiting post protruding upwards. The first limiting post and the second limiting post are spaced apart on both sides of the guide post, and a guide groove for limiting and accommodating the elastic ejector is formed between the first limiting post and the second limiting post.
[0018] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a column and a guide impeller. The column protrudes vertically upward and is disposed on the bottom wall of the sowing channel. The guide impeller is located between the sowing inlet and the column. The guide impeller has multiple blades that can rotate around its center. The blades are used to guide the toy seeds to the column.
[0019] Preferably, the blade has an arc-shaped cross-section.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the toy seeder provided by this utility model are as follows: After the toy seed hits the ground or table and triggers the elastic trigger, the locking part separates from the fixing block. The elastic ejector drives the seed germination assembly to pop out from inside the seed shell assembly, causing the toy seed to transform from a non-germinated state to a germinated state. This simulates the transformation of a seed from a non-germinated state to a germinated state, providing children with a more realistic and interactive experience. Children "activate" the toy seed by triggering the action, which can stimulate their curiosity and interest, enhance the fun of playing, and help children understand the principle of seed germination in nature. Therefore, this toy seeder effectively combines education and entertainment, ensuring fun and playability while enhancing its intellectual function and educational significance, and promoting children's cognitive development.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0033] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a toy planter. The toy planter includes a vehicle body 1 and toy seeds 2.
[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 mainly consists of a frame 11, axles, and wheels 12. A sowing channel 111 is provided through the frame 11 along the axial direction, through which toy seeds 2 can enter and exit the vehicle body 1 via the sowing inlet and outlet. The axles are divided into front axles and rear axles, and the wheels 12 are divided into front wheels 121 and rear wheels 122. The front axle is located at the front end of the frame 11, and both ends of the front axle pass through the frame 11 and are rotatably connected to a front wheel 121. The rear axle is located at the rear end of the frame 11, and both ends of the rear axle pass through the frame 11 and are rotatably connected to a rear wheel 122. The radial dimensions of the front wheel 121 and the rear wheel 122 can be the same or different, depending on the actual needs. Furthermore, a push rod 112 is integrally formed at the top of the frame 11, allowing children to push the toy planter while holding onto the push rod 112. When the frame 1 is pushed forward, the toy seeds 2 enter the frame 1 through the sowing inlet, and as the frame 1 continues to move forward, the toy seeds 2 fall out of the toy planter through the sowing outlet, thus increasing the fun. Preferably, the frame 1 can be manufactured using a plastic structure, which can improve safety and reliability during play.
[0036] In addition, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a lifting component 3 is vertically arranged inside the sowing channel 111. The lifting component 3 can lift the passing toy seeds 2 to a preset height, allowing the toy seeds 2 to descend under gravity and be discharged from the sowing outlet. In conjunction with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the toy seed 2 includes a germination assembly 21, a seed shell assembly 22, and an elastic ejector 23. The germination assembly 21 is movably locked onto the seed shell assembly 22. An elastic trigger 211 is provided on the germination assembly 21, and a locking portion 2111 is provided on the elastic trigger 211. A fixing block 221 corresponding to the locking portion 2111 is provided on the seed shell assembly 22. The elastic ejector 23 is disposed between the germination assembly 21 and the seed shell assembly 22. When the elastic trigger 211 is not triggered, the locking portion 2111 is locked and fixed to the fixing block 221, and the germination assembly 21 is hidden within the seed shell assembly 22. The entire toy seed 2 appears to be in an ungerminated state. The elastic ejector 23 is under pressure and has a tendency to eject the germination assembly 21 from the seed shell assembly 22. When the toy seed 2 falls to the ground and is vibrated, triggering the elastic trigger 211, the locking part 2111 separates from the fixing block 221. At this time, the elastic ejector 23 drives the seed bud assembly 21 to pop out from inside the seed shell assembly 22.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a column 31 and a guide impeller 32. The column 31 protrudes vertically upwards onto the bottom wall of the sowing channel 111. The guide impeller 32 is located between the sowing inlet and the column 31, and has multiple blades 321 that can rotate around its center. When the blades 321 rotate, they can guide the toy seeds 2 that have rolled into the sowing channel 111 onto the column 31, thereby ensuring that the toy seeds 2 will not get stuck in the sowing channel 111 and ensuring a smoother movement of the toy seeds 2. The number of blades 321 is not limited; preferably, in this embodiment, three blades 321 are provided.
[0038] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the blade 321 is arc-shaped. The curved shape of the blade 321 can effectively increase its contact area with the toy seed 2, thereby enhancing its agitation and guiding effect. This allows the blade 321 to push the toy seed 2 more smoothly, ensuring that the toy seed 2 is smoothly guided to the column 31, thereby improving the working efficiency and stability of the entire lifting assembly 3.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic trigger 211 includes a hook 2112 and an elastic reset 2113. The hook 2112 is rotatably mounted on the seed bud assembly 21 and has the aforementioned locking portion 2111. The elastic reset 2113 is disposed between the seed bud assembly 21 and the hook 2112. The locking portion 2111 engages with the fixing block 221. That is, when the elastic trigger 211 is not triggered, the elastic reset 2113 is under pressure and tends to lock the locking portion 2111 onto the fixing block 221. Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the seed bud assembly 21 remains locked to the seed shell assembly 22 when there is no external vibration, avoiding premature ejection due to external force interference.
[0040] For example, in this embodiment, the elastic reset member 2113 is a torsion spring. When the toy seed 2 hits the ground or table, the gravity caused by the vibration will cause the torsion spring to deform instantly. When the torsion spring deforms, it will drive the hook 2112 to rotate relative to the seed germination assembly 21, thereby causing the locking part 2111 to disengage from the fixing block 221. At this time, due to the elastic force of the elastic ejector 23, the seed germination assembly 21 pops out of the outer shell. After the seed germination assembly 21 pops out, by pressing the seed germination assembly 21 inward, the torsion spring's recovery action after release can ensure that the locking part 2111 and the fixing block 221 re-lock, ensuring that the toy seed 2 is in a stable, un-germinated state when not triggered.
[0041] More specifically, the elastic trigger 211 also includes a pivot 2114, which is fixedly mounted on the seed bud assembly 21, and the hook 2112 is rotatably mounted on the pivot 2114, thereby simplifying the structure of rotating the hook 2112 on the seed bud assembly 21 and avoiding the situation where the internal parts of the toy seed 2 are relatively complex.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the seed coat assembly 22 has a limiting groove 222 inside for accommodating the seed bud assembly 21. A fixing block 221 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the limiting groove 222. A guide post 223 protrudes upward from the bottom of the limiting groove 222. An elastic ejector 23 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 223. The guide post 223 can provide a certain supporting force for the elastic ejector 23, thereby preventing the elastic ejector 23 from being distorted or deformed. Preferably, the elastic ejector 23 is a compression spring or a tension spring.
[0043] More specifically, see reference Figure 4 As shown, a first limiting post 224 and a second limiting post 225 are provided protruding upward from the bottom of the limiting groove 222. The first limiting post 224 and the second limiting post 225 are spaced apart on both sides of the guide post 223. A guide groove for limiting and accommodating the elastic ejector 23 is formed between the first limiting post 224 and the second limiting post 225. By setting the first limiting post 224 and the second limiting post 225, the middle part of the elastic ejector 23 (i.e., the part not fitted with the guide post 223) can be kept in a vertical state, avoiding the situation where the middle part of the elastic ejector 23 tilts and deforms to both sides when under pressure or in the recovery state, thereby further improving the reliability of the elastic ejector 23.
[0044] In this embodiment, the connection method between the elastic ejector 23 and the seeding assembly 21 is as follows: (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, a through hole 212 is provided through the bottom of the seed-germinating assembly 21, and a push rod 213 corresponding to the limiting groove 222 is fixedly installed inside the seed-germinating assembly 21. One end of the elastic ejector 23 is limited and inserted through the through hole 212 and connected to the push rod 213, while the other end of the elastic ejector 23 is connected to the bottom of the limiting groove 222. Through the precise connection between the elastic ejector 23 and the seed-germinating assembly 21, the seed-germinating assembly 21 is stably ejected, ensuring the smooth automatic release of the seed-germinating assembly 21, and improving the overall performance of the toy seed 2.
[0045] Furthermore, the push rod 213 includes a vertical part 2131 and a horizontal part 2132. The vertical part 2131 is correspondingly disposed in the through hole 212. One end of the elastic ejector 23 is sleeved on the vertical part 2131 and abuts against the interface between the vertical part 2131 and the horizontal part 2132. The horizontal part 2132 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the seed-germination assembly 21. The vertical part 2131 provides a limiting function for the elastic ejector 23 at its top, so that the elastic ejector 23 has a structure that restricts its tilting deformation at the bottom, middle position and top, thereby ensuring the stability of the elastic ejector 23 in use. When the vertical part 2131 moves upward under the action of the elastic ejector 23, the horizontal part 2132 also moves upward with the entire seed assembly 21. The response is timely and the structure of transmitting the force of the elastic ejector 23 to the seed assembly 21 is simplified, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the toy seed 2 and improving its reliability.
[0046] The toy planter provided in this embodiment, after the toy seed 2 hits the ground or table and triggers the elastic trigger 211, the locking part 2111 separates from the fixing block 221. The elastic ejector 23 drives the seed germination assembly 21 to pop out from inside the seed shell assembly 22, causing the toy seed 2 to change from an ungerminated state to a germinated state. This simulates the transformation of a seed from an ungerminated state to a germinated state, providing children with a more realistic and interactive experience. Children "activate" the toy seed 2 by triggering the action, which can stimulate their curiosity and interest, enhance the fun of playing, and help children understand the principle of seed germination in nature. Therefore, this toy planter can effectively combine education and entertainment, ensuring fun and playability while enhancing its intellectual function and educational significance, and promoting children's cognitive development.
