Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of educational building block toys, specifically a rotating mechanism for an educational building block toy. Background Technology

[0002] When adjusting the angle of building block toys, the connecting parts (male or female) need to be inserted into different positions on the base to achieve a rotation effect, allowing the building blocks to have more shaping effects, which is beneficial to improving children's hands-on ability, thinking ability and imagination.

[0003] However, when using educational building block toys, it is necessary to adjust the rotation angle of the blocks to adapt to different directions for stacking, and to adjust the angle between different blocks.

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, one can refer to the existing technology (Chinese patent application number CN201921992024.4, publication date 2020-10-27) which discloses a rotating mechanism for an educational building block toy. The swing arm of the building block toy can rotate and adjust the angle between itself and the base. The angle adjustment operation is simple, and even if the building blocks are adjusted multiple times, they will not crack and are not easily scrapped.

[0005] Although the aforementioned block rotation mechanism can solve the above shortcomings, in use, the block rotation mechanism only adjusts one set of positions of the blocks, and the angle that can be adjusted is limited, which cannot effectively extend different play styles and shapes to improve children's hands-on ability and imagination.

[0006] Therefore, we proposed that the rotating mechanism of educational building block toys can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating mechanism for educational building block toys, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the rotating mechanisms of building blocks on the market only adjust a set of positions of the building blocks, and the angle that can be adjusted is limited, which cannot effectively extend different ways of playing and shape to improve children's hands-on ability and imagination.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotating mechanism for an educational building block toy, comprising a connecting block, an upper swing arm disposed above the connecting block, and a lower swing arm disposed below the connecting block;

[0009] It also includes: the lower end of the upper swing arm and the upper end of the lower swing arm are both fixedly connected to the connecting seat, and the connecting seats at both ends are connected to the double rotating component inside the connecting block. The double rotating component can realize the position adjustment between the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm.

[0010] The dual-rotation mechanism includes a first adjusting block and a second adjusting block, and the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block have the same structure.

[0011] A docking component is provided on the outer side of the first and second adjusting blocks. One side of the docking component can be limited to one side of the connecting seat to prevent the upper and lower swing arms from rotating.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the dual rotating assembly includes a rotating block rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting block. A first bidirectional threaded rod is fixed to one end of the rotating block that extends into the interior of the connecting block. A worm is fixed to the outer side of the middle part of the first bidirectional threaded rod. The lower outer end of the worm is meshed with the outer side of the worm wheel. The inner side of the worm wheel is fixed to the middle part of the second bidirectional threaded rod. The upper swing arm and the lower swing arm can rotate at different angles through the setting of the dual rotating assembly.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, both ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod and the second bidirectional threaded rod are rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the connecting block, and the directions of the first bidirectional threaded rod and the second bidirectional threaded rod are perpendicular to each other, which allows the first bidirectional threaded rod and the second bidirectional threaded rod to rotate stably on the inner side of the connecting seat.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod are threaded to the inner side of the first adjusting block, and the outer ends of the second bidirectional threaded rod are threaded to the outer side of the second adjusting block. The connecting block has cavities through its upper and lower surfaces. The outer ends of the first and second adjusting blocks extend out of the outer side of the connecting block, and the outer ends of the first and second adjusting blocks are fitted onto the outer side of the bottom of the connecting seat, so that the first and second adjusting blocks can rotate outside the fixed shaft provided on the connecting seat.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the docking assembly includes a first adjusting block and a second adjusting block. An embedded block is provided on the outer side of both the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block. The inner side of the connecting seat is nested and fixed on the outer side of the embedded block. The docking assembly prevents the upper swing arm and the lower swing arm from rotating.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connecting seat is U-shaped and includes a fixed shaft fixed on the inner side. The diameter of the fixed shaft near the middle is larger than the diameter in the middle, and the larger diameter part is provided with several sets of docking grooves, which can make the outer side of the embedded block embedded into the inner side of the docking groove.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the number of the docking slots is greater than or equal to the number of the embedded blocks, and the first adjustment block and the second adjustment block form a locking structure between the embedded blocks and the docking slots, and the embedded blocks are locked by the set docking slots.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The rotating mechanism of this educational building block toy is equipped with a double rotating component. Through the double rotating component, two different sets of first bidirectional threaded rods and second bidirectional threaded rods can be rotated. Furthermore, the positions of the first adjusting block and the second adjusting block can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of adjusting the angle of the upper and lower swing arms. The specific details are as follows:

[0019] 1. A rotating block is provided, which can drive the first bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. This allows the first adjusting block, which is connected to the threaded connection, to move inside the connecting block, so that the first adjusting block at the upper end can disengage from the mating groove, facilitating the rotation of the upper swing arm.

[0020] Furthermore, a second bidirectional threaded rod is provided. The worm gear fixed in the middle of the second bidirectional threaded rod drives the worm wheel to rotate, which can realize the stable rotation of the second bidirectional threaded rod in the internal position of the connecting block, and can realize the position movement of the second adjusting block on the outside of the fixed shaft.

[0021] 2. A connecting seat is provided. By setting up two sets of connecting seats, the upper and lower swing arms can be rotated through the connecting seats by disconnecting the docking components. This allows for rotation at different angles, which can be extended to create different play shapes to improve children's hands-on ability and imagination.

[0022] Furthermore, several sets of docking slots are provided. Since the number of docking slots is greater than or equal to the number of embedded blocks, it not only facilitates the angle adjustment of the upper and lower swing arms, but also prevents rotation between the upper and lower swing arms through the setting of the docking components.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0032] Example 1: To facilitate the adjustment of the angles of the upper swing arm 2 and the lower swing arm 3, and to address the limitation that the block rotation mechanism only adjusts one set of positions, thus restricting the range of adjustable angles and hindering the development of diverse play styles to enhance children's hands-on skills and imagination, please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4The system includes a connecting block 1, an upper swing arm 2 located above the connecting block 1, and a lower swing arm 3 located below the connecting block 1. It also includes connecting seats 4 fixedly connected to the lower ends of the upper swing arm 2 and the upper ends of the lower swing arm 3. Both connecting seats 4 are connected to a double-rotating assembly inside the connecting block 1. The double-rotating assembly allows for position adjustment between the upper swing arm 2 and the lower swing arm 3. The double-rotating mechanism includes a first adjusting block 7 and a second adjusting block 73, which have identical structures. The double-rotating assembly includes a rotating block 5 rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting block 1. A first bidirectional threaded rod 6 is fixed to one end of the rotating block 5 that extends into the connecting block 1. A worm 8 is fixed to the outer side of the middle portion of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6. The lower outer end of the worm 8 is meshed with the outer side of a worm wheel 9, and the inner side of the worm wheel 9 is fixed to the middle portion of a second bidirectional threaded rod 10. Both ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the connecting block 1. The directions of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 are perpendicular to each other. The outer ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 are threaded to the inner side of the first adjusting block 7, and the outer ends of the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 are threaded to the outer side of the second adjusting block 73. A cavity is provided through the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting block 1. The outer ends of the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73 extend out of the outer side of the connecting block 1, and the outer ends of the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73 are fitted onto the bottom outer side of the connecting seat 4.

[0033] When used by a child, rotating the rotating block 5 on one side of the connecting block 1 causes the end of the rotating block 5 to rotate the first bidirectional threaded rod 6. Since the outer ends of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 are threadedly connected to the inner side of the first adjusting block 7, the outer upper end of the first adjusting block 7 can slide inside the connecting block 1, and the upper end of the first adjusting block 7 also slides inside the fixed shaft 41. Furthermore, when the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 rotates, the worm 8 fixed in the middle of the first bidirectional threaded rod 6 also rotates. The outer bottom of the worm 8 is meshed with the worm wheel 9. The inner side is fixed to the outer side of the second bidirectional threaded rod 10, which allows the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate inside the connecting block 1. At this time, the lower swing arm 3 can rotate outside the first adjusting block 7 through the connecting seat 4. Since the worm 8 and the worm wheel 9 are engaged for speed reduction, the first adjusting block 7 can rotate first. When it continues to rotate, the two sets of second adjusting blocks 73 will also slide inside the connecting block 1. At this time, the lower swing arm 3 can easily rotate outside the second adjusting block 73 through the connecting seat 4, which facilitates the rotation of the angle and can extend different play shapes to improve children's hands-on ability and imagination.

[0034] Example 2: To facilitate the later connection of the blocks and ensure proper locking of the upper swing arm 2 and lower swing arm 3, please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 A docking assembly is provided on the outer side of the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73. One side of the docking assembly can be limited and positioned on one side of the connecting seat 4 to prevent the upper swing arm 2 and the lower swing arm 3 from rotating. The docking assembly includes the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73. An insert block 71 is provided on the outer side of each of the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73. The inner side of the connecting seat 4 is nested and fixed on the outer side of the insert block 71. The connecting seat 4 is U-shaped and includes a fixed shaft 41 fixed on the inner side. The diameter of the fixed shaft 41 near the middle is larger than the diameter in the middle, and the larger diameter part is provided with several sets of docking grooves 42. The number of docking grooves 42 is greater than or equal to the number of insert blocks 71, and the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73 form a locking structure through the insert blocks 71 and the docking grooves 42.

[0035] When rotated to the appropriate angle, one side of the first adjusting block 7 and the second adjusting block 73 approaches the outer center of the fixed shaft 41, and the diameter of the two sides of the fixed shaft 41 near the middle is larger than the diameter in the middle. The larger diameter part is also provided with several sets of docking grooves 42, so that the outer side of the embedded block 71 fits against one side of the docking groove 42. At this time, the embedded block 71 can be stably embedded into the inside of the docking groove 42, thereby ensuring that the first adjusting block 7 and the fixed shaft 41 are closed, thus ensuring the locking of the upper swing arm 2 and the lower swing arm 3, avoiding the phenomenon of falling off when connecting the building blocks, and making it more convenient for children to play with educational building blocks.
