[0038] Example 1: As Figures 1-10 As shown, a toy rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 1 for connecting to a movable part and a support 2 for connecting to a fixed part. The rotating shaft 1 and the support 2 are rotatably assembled. It also includes a telescopic buckle 3 connected to the rotating shaft 1. The support 2 is provided with a limiting space 201 for engaging with the telescopic buckle 3. When the rotating shaft 1 rotates, causing the telescopic buckle 3 to rotate until it is located in the limiting space 201, the rotating shaft 1 locks. Through the cooperation between the telescopic buckle 3 and the limiting space 201, the stability of rotation between the fixed part and the support 2 is enhanced, effectively preventing the movable part from rebounding or shaking due to gravity when opening, maintaining stable opening, effectively preventing accidental closure of the lid 8, reducing the risk of finger pinching, ensuring children's safety during use, facilitating children's access to toys and scene building, and enhancing interactive experience and fun.
[0039] In this context, the movable part is a part that can move, and the fixed part is a part that is fixed relative to the movable part. In one embodiment, the movable part is the lid 8 and the fixed part is the box body 7.
[0040] In terms of the specific structure of the rotating assembly of the shaft 1 and the support 2, the shaft 1 is provided with a mounting cavity for the rotating assembly of the support 2, the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a support hole, the axis of the support hole is coaxial with the axis of the shaft 1, the axial protrusion of the support 2 is provided with a support part 202, the support part 202 is rotatably assembled in the support hole, the support hole is coaxial with the axis of the shaft 1, which ensures that the support part 202 of the support 2 is highly aligned with the shaft 1 during rotation, increases the contact area of the support 2 and the shaft 1, and improves the load bearing capacity of the rotating mechanism, thereby improving the rotating stability of the entire rotating mechanism, reducing shaking and deviation, and saving space by rotating the support 2 in the mounting cavity of the shaft 1, making the overall structure more compact, making the toy design more flexible, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance.
[0041] It is worth mentioning that in order to improve the assembly stability of the support 2, the opposite two side walls of the mounting cavity are provided with support holes, and the two groups of support holes are coaxially arranged, and correspondingly, the two side walls of the support 2 are provided with two groups of support parts 202.
[0042] In terms of the specific assembly of the telescopic buckle 3 and the shaft 1, the shaft 1 is provided with an assembly seat 103 for assembling the telescopic buckle 3, the shaft 1 is recessed from the side wall of the mounting cavity towards the assembly seat 103 and is provided with a telescopic channel 1031, the telescopic buckle 3 is slidingly assembled in the telescopic channel 1031, the telescopic channel 1031 allows the telescopic buckle 3 to be slidingly assembled on the shaft 1, when the shaft 1 is not rotated to the limiting space 201 of the support 2, the telescopic buckle 3 is subjected to the force of the side wall of the support 2, so that the telescopic buckle 3 is located in the assembly seat 103, when the shaft 1 is rotated to the position corresponding to the limiting space 201 of the support 2, the limiting space 201 provides an extension position for the telescopic buckle 3, so that the telescopic buckle 3 is clamped in the limiting space 201, thereby locking and limiting the rotation angle of the shaft 1, and secondly, the telescopic buckle 3 is slidingly assembled in the telescopic channel 1031, effectively preventing accidental falling or displacement of the buckle, enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure.
[0043] In terms of the specific structure of the telescopic buckle 3, the telescopic buckle 3 includes a clamping block 301 and a telescopic spring 302, the two ends of the telescopic spring 302 are connected to the clamping block 301 and the assembly seat 103 respectively, and the axis of the telescopic spring 302 is parallel to the axis of the shaft 1, when the spring is in the reset state, the clamping block 301 is at least partially located in the assembly cavity 204, the design of the telescopic spring 302 allows the buckle to be elastically telescopic as needed, so that the clamping block 301 can move towards the support 2 and be clamped in the limiting space 201, thereby locking the shaft 1.
[0044] In the specific assembly structure of the telescopic buckle 3, the telescopic buckle 3 further comprises a pressing block 303, the assembly seat 103 is provided with an opening along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 1, the pressing block 303 is connected with the assembly seat 103 through screw connection, and the pressing block 303 is used for assembling the clamping block 301 in the telescopic channel 1031. The top wall of the clamping block 301 is provided with a protruding anti-disengagement part 3012. When the telescopic spring 302 is in the range state, the anti-disengagement part 3012 abuts against the inner side wall of the assembly seat 103, so as to prevent the clamping block 301 from sliding out of the telescopic channel 1031 under the action of the telescopic spring 302, improve the reliability of the structural design, and meanwhile, the anti-disengagement part 3012 cooperates with the inner recess of the side wall of the pressing block 303, and can also limit the sliding of the clamping block 301, so that the clamping block 301 moves back and forth towards the axis of the support 2.
[0045] In the specific structure of the support 2 provided with the limiting space 201, the embodiment further comprises a reset member 4 for pushing the clamping block 301 to retract into the telescopic channel 1031. The support 2 is provided with a clamping part 203 along the axial direction of the support 2. The limiting space 201 is formed between the reset member 4 and the clamping part 203. When the reset member 4 pushes the clamping block 301 to retract into the telescopic channel 1031, the reset member 4 can accurately control the reset of the clamping block 301 extruding the telescopic spring 302, so as to facilitate the unlocking of the rotating shaft 1 after the rotating shaft 1 is locked, to perform normal rotation. Through the manual unlocking mode of pushing the reset member 4, the abnormal closing of the movable member is avoided, and the risk of accidental injury is avoided.
[0046] In order to facilitate manual pushing of the reset member 4, so that the rotating shaft 1 is disengaged and unlocked, the support 2 is provided with an assembly cavity 204 for assembling the reset member 4. The outer wall of the support 2 is provided with a long slot 205 communicating with the assembly cavity 204. The reset member 4 is provided with a push rod 401 protruding. The push rod 401 penetrates the outer wall of the long slot 205. The reset member 4 is slidingly assembled in the assembly cavity 204. The push rod 401 is used for pushing the reset member 4, and meanwhile, the push rod 401 is assembled with the long slot 205, so as to limit the movement path of the reset member 4, thereby realizing the disengagement and unlocking of the rotating shaft 1.
[0047] In order to make the reset member 4 reset automatically, the embodiment comprises a reset spring 5. The reset member 4 is arranged in an arc shape, and the axis of the reset member 4 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the supporting part 202. The two ends of the reset spring 5 are connected to the inner wall of the assembly cavity 204 and the reset member 4 respectively. Specifically, the assembly cavity 204 is provided with a first limiting column protruding. The reset member 4 is provided with a second limiting column protruding towards the first limiting column. The inner ring of one end of the reset spring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first limiting column. The inner ring of the other end of the reset spring 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second limiting column.
[0048] In order to improve the stability of the reset member 4 assembled in the assembly cavity 204, and limit the rotation path of the reset member 4, the embodiment also includes two sets of cover plates 6, which are assembled on both sides of the reset member 4 and are connected by screws. The shape of the cover plate 6 is matched with the shape of the axis opening of the assembly cavity 204. An arc-shaped slot 601 is formed on one end of the cover plate 6 facing the reset member 4, which is used to assemble with the reset member 4. The two sets of cover plates 6 are tightly fixed on both sides of the reset member 4 by screw connection, effectively improving the stability of the reset member 4 in the assembly cavity 204, preventing the reset member 4 from shaking or shifting during operation. In addition, the arc-shaped slot 601 formed on the cover plate 6 precisely matches the reset member 4, limiting the rotation path of the reset member 4, ensuring that the reset member 4 moves within the predetermined track, improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.
[0049] In terms of the specific structure of the reset member 4, the reset member 4 is arranged in a T shape, which is designed to push the clamping block 301 back into the telescopic channel 1031. The side of the cover plate 6 close to the reset member 4 is provided with an abutting groove 602, and the protrusion of the reset member 4 abuts against the abutting groove 602, which is used to offset the elastic force of the reset spring 5 and limit the reset member 4.
[0050] In order to facilitate the reset member 4 to push the clamping block 301, the end of the clamping block 301 close to the reset member 4 is provided with a guide slope 3011, which is gradually inclined from top to bottom. The inclination angle of the guide slope 3011 is 45°. The design of the guide slope 3011 enables the reset member 4 to guide the clamping block 301 into the reset position in a smoother manner when pushing the clamping block 301. In addition, the guide slope 3011 ensures that the clamping block 301 moves along the predetermined track during the reset process, avoiding the clamping block 301 from deviating or jamming, enhancing the stability and reliability of the reset.
[0051] In order to facilitate the rotation of the clamping block 301 when the shaft 1 drives the clamping block 301 to rotate, the clamping block 301 is provided with a guide slope 3013 on the side wall, which facilitates the clamping block 301 to better enter the limiting space 201 for clamping.
[0052] To facilitate the assembly of the rotating shaft 1 and the support member 2, the rotating shaft 1 adopts a split design. The rotating shaft 1 includes an upper cover 104 and two sets of lower covers 105. The upper cover has a groove 1041. One set of lower covers 105 is screwed to one side of the groove 1041, and the other set of lower covers 105 is screwed to the other side of the groove 1041, thus forming a mounting cavity. The upper cover 104 has a first support half-hole and a second support half-hole, which together form a support hole. The support member 2 has a protruding connecting part 206 at its bottom, which is exposed outside the mounting cavity. This split design allows the various parts of the rotating shaft 1 to be assembled separately and then connected by screws to form a whole. This modular design greatly simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency.
[0053] Example 2: As Figures 1-13 As shown, a dessert box toy includes a box body 7 and a lid 8. The box body 7 is connected to a support member 2, and the lid 8 is connected to a rotating shaft 1. The box body 7 is provided with a rotation space 701 for the rotating shaft 1 to rotate. When the lid 8 is opened and rotated to the bottom of the box body 7, the telescopic buckle 3 is engaged in the limiting space 201. By connecting the lid 8 to the rotating shaft 1 and providing the telescopic buckle 3 and the limiting space 201, the lid 8 can be stably stopped in the vertical position when opened, avoiding the risk of the lid 8 shaking under the action of external force and causing abnormal lid 8. This ensures that the lid 8 will not fall off accidentally or close suddenly after being opened, improving safety during use and protecting children's fingers from being pinched. Secondly, when the lid 8 is opened to the vertical position, the dessert box can be used as a display stand to stably display the desserts or other items inside, increasing the practicality and fun of the toy.
[0054] Regarding the specific structure of the assembly of the support member 2 and the housing 7, the rotation space 701 is provided with an insertion slot 702 for assembling with the connecting part 206 of the support member 2. The connecting part 206 of the support member 2 is assembled in the insertion slot 702 and fixed by screws.
[0055] The bottom wall of the rotating space 701 has a protruding limiting plate 703. Two sets of limiting plates 703 are provided and spaced apart to form an insertion groove 702.
[0056] To improve the stability of the rotation of the shaft 1, this example also includes a pin 9. Both ends of the shaft 1 are provided with first insertion holes 106, and the side walls of the axis of the rotation space 701 are provided with second insertion holes 704. The pin 9 passes through the second insertion holes 704 and the second insertion hole in sequence and is engaged in the shaft 1. The pin 9 is rotatably assembled with the second insertion hole 704, thereby improving the stability of the assembly between the shaft 1 and the moving space.
