[0044] The specific content of this utility model will be further explained in detail below with reference to the embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0045] Unless otherwise specified, all components in this invention are made from components known in the prior art.
[0046] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments. All equivalent modifications made based on the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] Example 1:
[0048] This embodiment provides a foot-side jumping tumbler, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the gyroscope includes a gyroscope housing 1, which includes an upper housing 1-1 and a lower housing 1-2 connected together. The upper housing 1-1 is a hollow cylinder, and the lower housing 1-2 is a hollow cone. The diameter of the larger diameter section of the lower housing 1-2 is the same as the diameter of the upper housing 1-1, and the cone end of the lower housing 1-2 has a flattened round opening.
[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the foot-side gyroscope also includes a propulsion body 2 installed inside the gyroscope housing 1.
[0050] The propulsion body 2 includes a top plate 2-1 and a central shaft 2-2 installed on one side of the top plate 2-1. Propulsion blocks 2-3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central shaft 2-2, and the propulsion blocks 2-3 are connected to the top plate 2-1.
[0051] The propulsion body 2 is fixedly connected to the gyroscope housing 1.
[0052] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the foot-side gyroscope also includes an inertial disk 3 installed inside the gyroscope housing 1.
[0053] The inertial disk 3 includes an inertial disk body 3-1 and a first arc-shaped toothed inclined body 3-2 and a second arc-shaped toothed inclined body 3-3 with the same structure installed on one side edge of the inertial disk body 3-1. The first arc-shaped toothed inclined body 3-2 and the second arc-shaped toothed inclined body 3-3 together form a cylindrical shape.
[0054] The first arc-shaped toothed inclined body 3-2 includes an arc-shaped base plate 3-2-1, which unfolds into a right-angled triangle. One right-angled side is connected to the inertial disk body 3-1, and multiple propulsion teeth 3-2-2 are provided on the inclined side.
[0055] A central tube 3-4 is installed on the other side of the inertial disk body 3-1, and the central tube 3-4 is connected to a through hole opened in the center of the inertial disk body 3-1.
[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the foot-side gyroscope also includes a jump head 4 installed inside the gyroscope housing 1.
[0057] The jump head 4 includes a jump head disc 4-1 and a jump head support 4-2 installed on one side of the jump head disc 4-1.
[0058] The jump head disc 4-1 has a central opening, and the jump head support 4-2 has a hollow structure. The central opening of the jump head disc 4-1 is connected to the jump head support 4-2.
[0059] The jump head 4 also includes a jump head body 4-3, which is hemispherical, installed at one end of the jump head support 4-2 and extends out of the cone end opening of the lower housing 1-2.
[0060] The central shaft 2-2 passes through the central tube 3-4 and the jump head disk 4-1 and then extends into the jump head support 4-2.
[0061] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the foot-side bouncing roller also includes a spring 5.
[0062] The spring 5 includes a propulsion spring 5-1 sleeved on the outside of the central shaft 2-2 and the central tube 3-4. One end of the propulsion spring 5-1 is connected to the side of the inertia disk body 3-1 where the central tube 3-4 is installed, and the other end is suspended.
[0063] The spring 5 also includes a bouncing spring 5-2 sleeved on the outside of the jump head support 4-2. One end of the bouncing spring 5-2 is connected to the annular surface formed between the jump head disc 4-1 and the jump head support 4-2, and the other end is connected to the inner side of the lower housing 1-2.
[0064] The shell 1 and the propulsion body 2 are fixed together.
[0065] The propulsion body 2 and the inertial body 3 are connected by a bushing dynamic fit.
[0066] The jumper head 4 is inserted into the cone-shaped opening of the housing 1.
[0067] The propulsion spring 5-1 serves as the main spring, and the bouncing spring 5-2 serves as the secondary spring. The length of the secondary spring is shorter than that of the main spring, and the elastic force of the secondary spring is slightly greater than that of the main spring.
[0068] When the gyroscope rotates on the ground, due to the principle of inertia, there is a speed difference between the gyroscope shell 1 and the inertial disk 3, and the inertial disk 3 lags behind the gyroscope shell 1 in time.
[0069] The propulsion body 2 and the gyroscope housing 1 are fixed together. Every time the gyroscope is accelerated, the inertia disk 3 has a moment of stillness relative to the propulsion body 2. Therefore, the inertia disk 3 will be pushed down one tooth distance along the helical rack, while compressing the propulsion spring 5-1.
[0070] The gyroscope will slow down when it is not rubbed or whipped. Each time it is accelerated (rubbed), the inertia disk 3 will be pushed down by one tooth and the main spring will be compressed downward. When the inertia disk reaches the highest point of the helical rack, the push spring 5-1 will bounce the inertia disk back to the initial highest point position.
[0071] At the same time, the propulsion spring 5-1 is released instantly, and the resulting explosive force (direction downward) acts on the jump head 4, and instantly compresses the bouncing spring 5-2. The jump head generates a reaction force relative to the ground (direction upward) that bounces the gyroscope off the ground.
[0072] When the instantaneous burst of force from the propulsion spring 5-1 disappears, the gyroscope falls back to the ground, and the elastic force of the secondary spring resets the gyroscope. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving the bouncing mode.
[0073] This invention addresses the problem that existing spinning tops primarily exercise the upper limbs and waist, and adds a bouncing function to allow for simultaneous leg and foot exercise, increasing gameplay options and skill requirements, and enhancing enjoyment.
[0074] As a preferred embodiment:
[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the propulsion block 2-3 is generally L-shaped, including a first propulsion block 2-3-1 and a second propulsion block 2-3-2 vertically connected to one end of the first propulsion block 2-3-1.
[0076] The first propulsion block 2-3-1 is perpendicularly connected to the central shaft 2-2, and the second propulsion block 2-3-2 is perpendicularly connected to the top plate 2-1.
[0077] The propulsion blocks 2-3 are L-shaped as a whole, which reduces weight while still achieving the purpose.
[0078] As a preferred embodiment:
[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, the jump head support 4-2 is a pair of symmetrically arranged support members with a fan-shaped cross-section, which together form a cylindrical cavity. The outer contour of the jump head support 4-2 has a hollow flat round structure and protrudes through the flat round opening at the conical end of the lower shell 1-2.
[0080] The central shaft 2-2 extends into the cylindrical cavity.
[0081] The specific working process of this utility model:
[0082] The propulsion spring 5-1 serves as the main spring, and the bouncing spring 5-2 serves as the secondary spring. The length of the secondary spring is shorter than that of the main spring, and the elastic force of the secondary spring is slightly greater than that of the main spring.
[0083] When the gyroscope rotates on the ground, due to the principle of inertia, there is a speed difference between the gyroscope shell 1 and the inertial disk 3, and the inertial disk 3 lags behind the gyroscope shell 1 in time.
[0084] The propulsion body 2 and the gyroscope housing 1 are fixed together. Every time the gyroscope is accelerated, the inertia disk 3 has a moment of stillness relative to the propulsion body 2. Therefore, the inertia disk 3 will be pushed down one tooth distance along the helical rack, while compressing the propulsion spring 5-1.
[0085] The gyroscope will slow down when it is not rubbed or whipped. Each time it is accelerated (rubbed), the inertia disk 3 will be pushed down by one tooth and the main spring will be compressed downward. When the inertia disk reaches the highest point of the helical rack, the push spring 5-1 will bounce the inertia disk back to the initial highest point position.
[0086] At the same time, the propulsion spring 5-1 is released instantly, and the resulting explosive force (direction downward) acts on the jump head 4, and instantly compresses the bouncing spring 5-2. The jump head generates a reaction force relative to the ground (direction upward) that bounces the gyroscope off the ground.
[0087] When the instantaneous burst of force from the propulsion spring 5-1 disappears, the gyroscope falls back to the ground, and the elastic force of the secondary spring resets the gyroscope. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving the bouncing mode.
[0088] The above technical solutions are only preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model are covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
