Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of educational toys, specifically to an educational switch box. Background Technology
[0002] Educational toys are toys designed to develop children's intelligence and enhance their wisdom during play. They offer advantages such as developing intelligence, stimulating organ responses, coordinating bodily functions, and improving manual dexterity. These toys can be categorized into various types, including ring toys, buckle toys, rope toys, puzzle toys, lock-and-play toys, and multi-functional toys. For example, a lock-and-play educational toy, disclosed in Chinese patent application number 202320712148.2 (publication date October 27, 2023), is a rotating educational box. It includes a polygonal box body with a lid that fits the body. The lid has a hidden opening component that engages with the inside of the box. This invention has no visible opening or closing mechanism; the opening component is hidden in the lid. Children open or lock the rotating box in a specific sequence, developing their intelligence. The method of opening the box is discreet, which is beneficial for developing intelligence and increasing playability.
[0003] However, the aforementioned patent document describes a method of opening the box lid and storing the item inside by shaking off the center block and rotating the rotating block, which causes the card block to leave the card slot. However, the aforementioned structure does not use a hinged rotation angle to take out the item. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an educational switch box with a simple structure. The object can be removed by rotating the swing plate, which is convenient for developing children's intelligence and hands-on ability and has high practicality.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an educational switch box, including a shelf platform, a support base, a column, and a swing plate. The two ends of the shelf platform are fixedly connected to the support base. The shelf platform has two or more through holes that match the column. The inner side of the support base has a stepped portion. The swing plate located below the shelf platform is connected to the shelf platform through an elastic element. The two sides of the rear end of the swing plate are hinged to the support base. The two sides of the front end of the swing plate have limiting portions that match the stepped portion. After the swing plate rotates around the hinge point with the support base on the stepped portion, it forms an opening with the shelf platform.
[0006] In the above configuration, the elastic element allows for expansion and contraction. Under the action of the elastic element, the swaying plate causes the limiting part to abut against the step part, restricting the swaying plate from continuing to swing along the height direction of the support base. This allows the swaying plate to be positioned parallel to the bottom of the support platform. Thus, after the column is placed in the through hole, the swaying plate supports the column, allowing the column to be embedded in the through hole with its top surface flush with the support platform. When the column needs to be removed, external force is applied to the swaying plate, causing it to rotate downwards along the height direction of the support base on the step part around the hinge point with the support base. This creates an opening between the swaying plate and the support platform, allowing the swaying plate to detach from the bottom of the column, and the column to slide out of the through hole from below the support platform. The column can then be removed. Finally, under the action of the elastic element, the swaying plate returns to its original position.
[0007] Furthermore, the through holes are arranged in a straight line along the length of the platform.
[0008] The above design makes it easy for children to insert the posts into the through holes in sequence.
[0009] Furthermore, the stepped portion is located at the front end of the support and is arranged along the height direction of the support.
[0010] The above configuration allows the swing plate to rotate along the height of the support base on the stepped section around the hinge point with the support base under the action of external force.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjacent sides of the step portion are provided with step side surfaces and step arc surfaces, which are connected. The end face where the step portion is located is respectively set perpendicular to the step side surfaces and step arc surfaces. When the limiting part abuts against the step side surface and the support platform is set parallel to the swing plate, the height of the column is greater than the height between the support platform and the swing plate.
[0012] The above settings ensure that the column placed in the through hole can be supported when the platform is parallel to the swing plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the swing plate is provided with through holes near the front end and at the rear end of the support platform, which are matched with the elastic element. One end of the elastic element passes through the through hole and is connected to the swing plate, and the other end of the elastic element passes through the through hole and is connected to the support platform.
[0014] The above settings allow the swing plate to be reset via the elastic element after it rotates under external force.
[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the opening is greater than the height of the column.
[0016] The above design allows the column to slide out of the through hole. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an educational switch box, including a placement platform 1, a support base 2, a column 3, and a swing plate 4. In this embodiment, there are two support bases 2 and two columns 3. The two ends of the placement platform 1 are fixedly connected to the support base 2. The placement platform 1 has two or more through holes 5 that match the columns 3. The through holes 5 are arranged on the same straight line along the length direction of the placement platform 1, so that children can put the columns 3 into the through holes 5 in sequence.
[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the inner side of the support base 2 is provided with a step portion 6. The step portion 6 is located at the front end of the support base 2 and is arranged along the height direction of the support base 2. The two adjacent sides of the step portion 6 are provided with a step side surface 61 and a step arc surface 62. The step side surface 61 and the step arc surface 62 are connected. The end face where the step portion 6 is located is respectively perpendicular to the step side surface 61 and the step arc surface 62. When the limiting part 8 abuts against the step side surface 61, the support platform 1 and the swing plate 4 are arranged parallel to each other. The height of the column 3 is greater than the height between the support platform 1 and the swing plate 4, so that the swing plate 4 can rotate around the hinge point with the support base 2 on the step portion 6 along the height direction of the support base 3 under the action of external force. Then, under the action of the elastic element 7, the swing plate 4 is reset and arranged parallel to the support platform 1, which can support the column 3 placed in the through hole 5.
[0025] like Figure 2-3As shown, the swing plate 4 located below the support platform 1 is connected to the support platform 1 through the elastic element 7. The swing plate 4 is provided with a first through hole (not shown in the figure) near the front end and the rear end of the support platform 1, which matches the elastic element 7. One end of the elastic element 7 passes through the first through hole and is connected to the swing plate 4, and the other end of the elastic element 7 passes through the first through hole and is connected to the support platform 1. In this embodiment, the elastic element 7 is set as a telescopic elastic rope. The telescopic elastic rope passes through the first through hole and is knotted to achieve a fixed connection with the support platform 1 and the swing plate 4 respectively. This allows the swing plate 4 to be reset through the elastic element 7 after rotating under the action of external force.
[0026] In this embodiment, the two sides of the rear end of the swing plate 4 are provided with rotating shafts (not shown in the figure) extending outward along the length direction of the swing plate 4. The rotating shafts are respectively hinged to the countersunk holes (not shown in the figure) provided on the support base 2. The two sides of the front end of the swing plate 4 are provided with limiting parts 8 that match the step part 6. After the swing plate 4 rotates around the hinge point with the support base 2 on the step part 6, it forms an opening with the support platform 1. The diameter of the opening is greater than the height of the column 3. Thus, under the action of external force, the diameter of the opening formed by the swing plate 4 and the support platform 1 after rotation is greater than the height of the column 3, so that the column 3 can slide out from the through hole 5.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Under the action of the elastic element, the swing plate makes the limiting part abut against the step part, so that the swing plate is parallel to the bottom of the support platform. After the column is put into the through hole, the swing plate supports the column. At this time, the top surface of the column is flush with the support platform and cannot be taken out from the top of the support platform. When it is necessary to take out the column, an external force is applied to the swing plate, so that the swing plate rotates downward along the height direction of the support base on the step part around the hinge with the support base. This makes the swing plate and the support platform form an opening, and the diameter of the opening is greater than the height of the column, so that the column can slide out of the through hole.
