Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to a gear toy with flapping wings. Background Technology

[0002] In the toy industry, gear-based building blocks have become a popular category among consumers due to their diverse shapes and dynamic transmission characteristics. The core structure of these toys lies in the fact that each gear has its own rotating base. Through the detachable connection of these bases, different gears can be precisely assembled and meshed. Once assembled, the meshing transmission between the gears drives the toy to rotate. Combined with the diverse gear designs, this further enhances the toy's basic playability, satisfying users' fundamental needs for toys that are "buildable and capable of transmission."

[0003] However, existing gear-based building block toys have significant limitations in terms of functionality and dynamic display: they can only achieve simple rotational movements through gear meshing, such as the circular rotation of the gear itself or the circular rotation of components driven by gear transmission. The overall display effect is rather monotonous, and the function is limited to the single form of "rotational transmission." Specifically, existing products cannot simulate dynamic effects such as the flapping of wings of living organisms (e.g., the reciprocating flapping of wings of birds and butterflies). Such flapping dynamic effects are precisely the key requirements for improving the biomimetic simulation capabilities of toys and enhancing scene interactivity. For example, when users build biomimetic bird or insect-shaped building blocks, they often expect the toys to have the function of "wings that can open and close and flap" to restore the realistic dynamics of living organisms and enhance the immersion and fun during play. However, the structural design of existing gear-based building blocks cannot meet this requirement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gear toy that can flap its wings, aiming to realize the wing flapping function of a gear building block toy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a winged gear toy, including a connecting seat, a main body, a wing connector, and a transmission gear. The main body is fixedly connected to the connecting seat, the wing connector is connected to the main body and can flap relative to the main body, and the transmission gear passes through the main body and is connected to the connecting seat.

[0006] The transmission gear is provided with a raised edge, which is connected to the wing connector. When the transmission gear rotates along the axis of the main body, the raised edge drives the wing connector to perform a fanning action.

[0007] Preferably, the convex edge has a continuous wavy shape.

[0008] When the crest of the convex edge abuts against the wing connector, the wing connector moves upward.

[0009] When the trough of the convex edge comes into contact with the wing connector, the wing connector descends.

[0010] Preferably, the wing connector includes a wing piece, a connecting block, and a roller. The wing piece is fixedly connected to the connecting block, the roller is disposed on the side of the wing piece facing the convex edge, the roller abuts against the convex edge, and the connecting block is rotatably connected to the main body.

[0011] Preferably, the main body includes a base, a top cover, and a connecting spring. The top cover is connected to the base, the connecting block is rotatably connected to the top cover or the base, and the connecting spring passes through the top cover or the base and is connected to the connecting block at both ends.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the base is provided with a connecting post and a positioning protrusion circumferentially disposed on the connecting post, the transmission gear is also provided with a limiting post, and the connecting seat is provided with a groove corresponding to the positioning protrusion.

[0013] When the transmission gear is connected to the connecting seat, the connecting post and the positioning protrusion pass through the limiting post, and the positioning protrusion engages with the groove.

[0014] Preferably, the side of the transmission gear facing away from the convex edge is further provided with a limiting groove.

[0015] The connecting seat has a limiting protrusion on the side facing the transmission gear. When the transmission gear is connected to the connecting seat, the limiting groove is sleeved outside the limiting protrusion.

[0016] Preferably, the connector is provided with a plug-in slot for plugging into another gear toy.

[0017] Preferably, the connector is further provided with a plug-in post, which is used to plug into the plug-in slot.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This invention transforms the circular rotation of the transmission gear into the reciprocating flapping motion of the wing connector, achieving a dynamic wing-flapping effect in the toy. Users can use this toy to simulate the opening and closing of the wings of birds, insects, and other creatures, obtaining a more realistic biomimetic experience;

[0020] 2. This utility model designs the convex edge of the transmission gear as a continuous wave shape, and clearly defines the peaks and troughs corresponding to the wing movements, so that the wing's raising and lowering form a smooth transition, avoiding the problems of wing jamming and discontinuous movements, ensuring that the wing flapping amplitude is stable and controllable, simulating the natural rhythm of biological wing flapping, and improving the accuracy and realism of bionic simulation.

[0021] 3. This utility model provides a plug-in slot and plug-in post on the connecting seat, which allows this toy to be quickly assembled with other gear toys. Users can build complex shapes (such as multiple creatures or interconnected scenes) by assembling multiple toys, which expands the application scenarios of the toy and enhances the interactive fun.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a winged gear toy comprises a connecting seat 1, a main body 2 (including a base 21 and a top cover 22), a pair of wing connectors 3 (one on each side), and a transmission gear 4. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a insertion slot 12 and a groove 11, and the lower end of the base 21 of the main body 2 is provided with a connecting post 211 and a positioning protrusion 212.

[0030] The main body 2 is the primary load-bearing component of the wing connector 3, and consists of a base 21 and a top cover 22. The top cover 22 is connected to the base 21 to form a closed space within the main body 2, protecting the internal transmission components and enhancing structural strength. The main body 2 provides a pivot point for rotation and mounting space for the wing connector 3.

[0031] The connecting seat 1 is used to connect the main body 2 to other external components. In this embodiment, the connecting seat 1 is provided with a insertion slot 12 and an insertion post 13 for quick connection with another gear toy. Through the cooperation of the insertion slot 12 and the insertion post 13, this toy can be assembled with other gear toys to build complex scene models, thus solving the problem of poor scalability of existing gear toys.

[0032] The wing connector 3 includes a winglet 31, a connecting block 32, and a roller 33. The winglet 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 32, simulating the shape of a wing; the connecting block 32 is connected to the main body 2 (upper cover 22 or base 21) via a rotating shaft or pin, enabling the wing connector 3 to flap relative to the main body 2. To reduce frictional resistance, a roller 33 is installed on the side of the winglet 31 facing the transmission gear 4, and this roller 33 abuts against the protrusion 41 on the transmission gear 4. When the transmission gear 4 rotates, the roller 33 rolls along the protrusion 41, driving the wing connector 3 to reciprocate upward and downward around the axis of the connecting block 32, thereby realizing the flapping of the wing.

[0033] In one embodiment, a connector is provided below the wing 31, which may be a connecting block 32 or a connecting post, and the roller 33 (or may be a roller) includes a contact wheel and a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft passes through the contact wheel and is connected to the connector at both ends, and the contact wheel should be able to rotate freely.

[0034] The transmission gear 4 passes through the main body 2 and connects to the connecting seat 1. The transmission gear 4 has a raised edge 41 for contacting the roller 33 of the wing connector 3 (see...). Figure 2 , Figure 4 When the transmission gear 4 rotates along the axis of the main body 2, the convex edge 41 pushes the roller 33 of the wing connector 3, thereby driving the wing connector 3 to fan around the axis of the connecting block 32. In this embodiment, the convex edge 41 of the transmission gear 4 is a continuous wave shape. When the crest of the wave abuts against the wing connector 3, the wing connector 3 moves upward; when the trough of the wave abuts against the wing connector 3, the wing connector 3 moves downward. This wave-shaped convex edge 41 ensures a smooth transition between the upward and downward movement of the wings, simulating the natural rhythm of biological wing flapping and avoiding the wing jamming problem caused by intermittent protrusions.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting spring 23 passes through the upper cover 22 or the base 21, and the two ends of the connecting spring 23 are respectively connected to the connecting block 32. It can assist the wings to quickly reset after the convex edge 41 drives them, avoiding the reset delay caused by the wings' own weight or friction, and making the wing flapping action more flexible and continuous.

[0036] To ensure stable assembly of the transmission gear 4 and the connecting seat 1, this invention also includes a limiting structure. Specifically, the transmission gear 4 has a limiting groove 43 on the side facing away from the convex edge 41, while the connecting seat 1 has a limiting protrusion 14 on the side facing the transmission gear 4 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown). When the transmission gear 4 is connected to the connecting seat 1, the limiting groove 43 is fitted over the limiting protrusion 14, thereby doubly positioning the transmission gear 4: both restricting the axial movement of the transmission gear 4 and preventing its radial rotational deviation, ensuring that the transmission gear 4 is always in the preset transmission position. This limiting structure does not require additional fasteners (such as screws) and can be achieved through simple fitting.

[0037] In addition, see Figure 2 The connecting seat 1 is also provided with a groove 11 corresponding to the positioning protrusion 212 of the base 21. During assembly, the connecting post 211 and the positioning protrusion 212 of the base 21 pass through the limiting post 42 of the transmission gear 4 (the limiting post 42 is provided with a hole or groove through which the connecting post 211 and the positioning protrusion 212 can pass), and then the positioning protrusion 212 is engaged in the groove 11 of the connecting seat 1, thereby accurately positioning the relative position of the transmission gear 4 with the base 21 and the connecting seat 1. This positioning structure avoids axial offset or radial wobbling of the transmission gear 4 due to assembly deviation, ensuring that the protruding edge 41 can continuously and stably drive the wing connector 3 and prevent the wing flapping function from being interrupted.

[0038] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
