[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Figure 1 andFigure 2 The overall structure of a music box according to one embodiment of this utility model is schematically shown. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the music box of this utility model includes an outer shell 1. A sound-producing spring structure 41 is provided inside the outer shell 1. The sound-producing spring structure 41 includes at least one spring 41 arranged in parallel, and the length of each spring 41 is determined according to the sound it needs to produce. A sliding groove 2 is also provided on the outer shell 1, the length direction of which is set to the direction in which the springs 41 are arranged in parallel. A paddle 3 is slidably disposed on the sliding groove 2, and the paddle 3 is provided with a prying part 5 extending into the outer shell 1. When the paddle 3 is pushed to slide on the sliding groove 2, the prying part 5 will pry the springs 41 to produce sound.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1 can be formed by combining a first half-shell 11 and a second half-shell 12. The first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are fixed together by bolts to enclose the sound-generating spring 41 structure inside. This structure facilitates the disassembly of the outer shell 1 and makes it easier for the user to replace the sound-generating spring 41 structure.

[0033] The sound-producing spring 41 structure includes a base 42 disposed inside the outer casing 1. The base 42 is detachably connected to the outer casing 1, thereby enabling the replacement of the sound-producing spring 41 structure to change the music emitted by the music box. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the sound-producing spring structure specifically includes twelve springs 41, which are arranged parallel to each other on the base 42 according to their length. The distance from the end of each spring 41 that contacts the actuating part 5 to the slide groove 2 is equal, ensuring that the actuating part 5 contacts the spring 41 when the paddle 3 is actuated, thus producing sound. Simultaneously, the spacing between each spring 41 is equal, ensuring a consistent rhythmic sound when the paddle 3 is actuated at a uniform speed. This sound-producing spring structure produces musical sounds according to the rise and fall of musical notes when actuated. This basic musical sound can stimulate young children's musical perception, better cultivating and developing their musical awareness. It is understood that the length and arrangement of each spring 41 can be adjusted according to actual needs, allowing different sound-producing spring structures to create different musical pieces. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, the base 42 of the sound-generating spring 41 structure has through holes corresponding to the bolts connecting the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12, so that when installing the outer shell 1, the bolts can pass through the first half-shell 11, the base 42, and the second half-shell 12 in sequence, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the sound-generating spring 41 structure and the outer shell 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the slide 2 can be configured to be formed by combining the first half-slot 21 and the second half-slot 22. The first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are both provided with mounting grooves for mounting the slide 2. When the first half-shell 11 and the second half-shell 12 are combined, the first half-slot 21 and the second half-slot 22 are respectively placed in the mounting grooves to form the slide 2 for setting the push block 3.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a groove 31 is provided in the middle of the lever 3. During installation, the groove 31 of the lever 3 is inserted into the slide groove 2 to install the lever 3, allowing it to slide along its length within the slide groove 2. Specifically, the actuating part 5 is independent of the lever 3. A rotating shaft 51 is provided on the lever 3, and one end of the actuating part 5 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 51. The rotation plane of the actuating part 5 is parallel to the plane of symmetry of the slide groove 2 to reduce contact between the actuating part 5 and the lever 3, thus reducing the impact on the actuating part 5 when manually actuating the lever 3. Simultaneously, an elastic structure 6 is provided between the actuating part 5 and the lever 3. The elastic structure 6 drives the actuating part 5 to a position where it can actuate the spring 41. After the actuating part 5 actuates the spring 41, it will be affected by the elastic structure 6 and move back, thus colliding with the spring 41 a second time and producing a crisper sound. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the lever 3 has a hollow structure, with its lower part connected to the middle of the lever 3. The actuating part 5 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the lever 3 via a pivot 51. An elastic structure 6 is provided between the actuating part 5 and the lever 3, consisting of a first spring 61 and a second spring 62 on both sides of the actuating part 5. An anti-slip structure 32 is also provided on the side of the lever 3 that protrudes from the outer casing 1. The anti-slip structure 32 has anti-slip texture to allow the user to better slide the lever 3 on the groove 2.

[0036] In some embodiments, a nameplate mounting slot 13 may also be provided on the outer casing 1. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, each of the two sides of the outer casing 1 is provided with a nameplate mounting slot 13. A nameplate can be mounted on the nameplate mounting slot 13; the nameplate can be a branded sign or a sign with a decorative pattern, etc. By providing the nameplate, the bolt holes on the outer casing 1 can be covered, making the product more aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, the nameplate can be replaced, facilitating the updating of product labeling. Furthermore, due to the nameplate mounting slot 13, the mounted nameplate will not protrude relative to the outer casing 1.

[0037] When using this music box, the user simply needs to move the paddle 3 according to their preference, allowing it to slide on the groove 2 to produce sound. When the paddle 3's actuating part 5 moves the spring 41, it first causes the spring 41 to deform. Since the actuating part 5 itself also has an elastic structure 6, it also compresses the spring, causing displacement. When the deformation of the spring 41 is sufficiently large, the vibrating part will pass over the current spring 41. At this point, the spring 41 will vibrate under its own elasticity, and simultaneously, the actuating part 5 will move towards the passed spring 41 under the action of the elastic structure 6, thus causing a secondary collision with the spring 41, resulting in a clearer sound from the spring 41.

[0038] This utility model features a simple music box structure. A plectrum 3 is positioned within a groove 2. By moving the plectrum 3, which slides within the groove 2, the spring 41 inside the outer casing 1 is activated, producing sound. Users can control the rhythm by manipulating the speed at which the plectrum 3 is moved, and can play music forwards and backwards at will, thus enhancing the user's experience. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate, making it suitable for young children to play and develop their musical perception.

[0039] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
