Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and more specifically, to a spinning top launching toy. Background Technology

[0002] In the toy industry, spinning tops, as a classic and beloved entertainment product for children, have always held an important market position. Traditional spinning tops offer relatively simple gameplay, typically relying solely on manual spinning to make them rotate on the ground, lacking novelty and fun, and failing to capture children's attention for extended periods. With technological advancements and diversified consumer demands, some spinning tops with launching functions have emerged on the market.

[0003] However, existing launch-type spinning top toys still suffer from a lack of variety in gameplay. Most can only be operated through a single launch method, resulting in monotonous and unchanging gameplay. For example, some toys only have a single launch button; users can only launch the top by pressing that button, without being able to choose different launch methods or difficulty levels according to personal preference. This limited gameplay can easily cause children to lose interest quickly, failing to satisfy their desire for novelty and challenge. Utility Model Content

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] This invention provides a spinning top launching toy. The toy includes a launching body and a spinning top. The launching body drives the spinning top to rotate and launch it; after launch, the spinning top rotates on its own on the ground. The launching body includes a shell, a driving mechanism, a launching mechanism, and a control mechanism, all mounted on the shell. The driving mechanism is driveably connected to the spinning top and is used to drive the spinning top to rotate; the launching mechanism is driveably connected to the spinning top and is used to push the rotating spinning top out of the launching body. The control mechanism includes at least one control button. Pressing the control button releases the launching mechanism from its locked state, allowing the push plate to launch the spinning top under the push of a spring. Compared with existing technologies, this invention's spinning top launching toy has the following significant advantages: Diverse structural forms: The frame can have a locking block on only one side, with only one control button on the corresponding side, allowing the user to launch the spinning top by pressing only one button; alternatively, locking blocks can be set on both sides of the frame, with control buttons on both sides, requiring simultaneous pressing of both control buttons to launch the spinning top. This diverse structural form provides users with more choices and increases the toy's playability.

[0024] Diverse gameplay: Different structural forms correspond to different gameplay, allowing users to choose different launching methods according to their preferences and skill levels, thus obtaining different gaming experiences. For example, beginners can choose the simple launching method of pressing only one button, while experienced players can try the more challenging launching method of pressing both buttons simultaneously.

[0025] Excellent stability during fixation and launch: The housing has a holding slot for holding the gyroscope to be launched, and the push plate has a third holding slot corresponding to the holding slot. A clamp is connected to the side of the holding slot by flipping. When the gyroscope is not launched, the clamp holds the gyroscope to prevent it from falling off; when the gyroscope spins, the clamp flips and releases the gyroscope when the push plate pushes it out, allowing the gyroscope to launch smoothly. This design ensures the stability of the gyroscope before launch and the accuracy during launch.

[0026] The drive mechanism is rationally designed: it includes a gear set and a rope winder. The gear set and the rope winder are connected to each other. In use, pulling the rope winder drives the gear set to rotate, which in turn rotates the gyroscope. This drive method is simple and easy to use, and provides sufficient rotational power to the gyroscope.

[0027] In summary, the gyroscope launching toy of this invention has significant innovation and advantages in both structural design and gameplay, effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art and providing children with a richer, more interesting, and more challenging gaming experience.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The present invention will be further explained and described below through specific embodiments. It should be understood that the purpose of the following embodiments is to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, and does not limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0042] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0043] Example

[0044] This embodiment provides a gyroscope launching toy, such as... Figure 1-2As shown, it includes a launching body 10 and a gyroscope 20. The launching body 10 can drive the gyroscope 20 to rotate and launch. After launch, the gyroscope 20 rotates on its own on the ground.

[0045] The launching body 10 includes a housing 30, a driving mechanism 40, a launching mechanism 50, and a control mechanism 60, wherein the driving mechanism 40, the launching mechanism 50, and the control mechanism 60 are all mounted on the housing 30.

[0046] The drive mechanism 40 is tractably connected to the gyroscope 20, and the drive mechanism 40 is used to drive the gyroscope 20 to rotate; the launch mechanism 50 is tractably connected to the gyroscope 20, and the launch mechanism 50 is used to push the rotating gyroscope 20 out of the launch body 10.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the control mechanism 60 includes at least one control button 61 disposed on one side. The housing 30 has a receiving chamber 31 corresponding to the control button 61. The receiving chamber 31 has a guide hole 32. One end of the control button 61 passes through the guide hole 32 and protrudes outward. The control button 61 and the receiving chamber 31 are slidably connected.

[0048] The launching mechanism 50 includes a frame plate 51 and a push plate 52; the frame plate 51 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 30, the push plate 52 is slidably connected to the frame plate 51, the end of the push plate 52 is connected to the housing 30 through a first spring, the push plate 52 is provided with a first locking block 521, the control button 61 is provided with a second locking block 611 corresponding to the first locking block 521, the second locking block 611 is engaged with the first locking block 521, and the end of the control button 61 is connected to the receiving chamber 31 through a second spring;

[0049] The control method is as follows: In the non-launch state, the second locking block 611 is engaged with the first locking block 521, and the push plate 52 remains stationary; when the control button 61 is pressed, the second locking block 611 and the first locking block 521 are disengaged, and the push plate 52 is pushed outward by the first spring at the tail, launching the gyroscope 20 outward.

[0050] More specifically, the shelf plate 51 is provided with a slide rail 511, and the push plate 52 is fitted and connected to the slide rail 511 to realize the sliding of the push plate 52 on the shelf plate 51;

[0051] It is worth noting that the frame plate 51 may have the first locking block 521 set only on one side, including setting the first locking block 521 only on the left side or only on the right side. In this case, only one control button 61 is set on the corresponding side of the frame plate 51, which is one structural form. It can also be set in other structural forms, that is, the first locking block 521 is set on both sides of the frame plate 51. Then, correspondingly, control buttons 61 need to be set on both sides. When the first locking block 521 is set only on one side, the control button 61 is also set only on one side. The user can launch the gyroscope 20 by pressing only one button. When the first locking block 521 is set on both sides, the control buttons 61 on both sides need to be pressed at the same time to launch the gyroscope 20.

[0052] Compared with existing technologies, this application has a more diverse structure and richer gameplay.

[0053] Specifically, the housing 30 is provided with a holding slot for placing the gyroscope 20 to be launched; the push plate 52 is provided with a third holding slot 522 corresponding to the holding slot, and a clamp block 523 is foldably connected to the side of the holding slot;

[0054] When the gyroscope 20 is not launched, the clamp 523 holds the gyroscope 20 to prevent it from falling off; when the gyroscope 20 rotates, the clamp 523 flips and releases the gyroscope 20 when the push plate 52 pushes it out, allowing the gyroscope 20 to be launched smoothly.

[0055] More specifically, the upper housing 30 is provided with a first holding groove 33, and the lower housing 30 is provided with a second holding groove 34.

[0056] Specifically, the drive mechanism 40 includes a gear set 41 and a rope winder 42. The gear set 41 can be drivenly connected to the gyroscope 20, and the rope winder 42 can be drivenly connected to the gear set 41.

[0057] When in use, pull the rope winder 42 to drive the gear set 41 to rotate, and the gear set 41 drives the gyroscope 20 to rotate.

[0058] More specifically, the rope winder 42 includes a winder 421, a pull rope 422, and a pull ring 423. The pull rope 422 is wound around the winder 421, and the pull ring 423 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rope 422.

[0059] When in use, pulling the ring 423 pulls out the rope 422, which drives the reel 421 to rotate, and in turn drives the gear set 41 to rotate.

[0060] Specifically, the gyroscope 20 includes a gyroscope shaft and a gyroscope gear. The gyroscope shaft can be locked into a holding slot, and the gyroscope gear can be meshed with a gear set 41.

[0061] This utility model has been described through embodiments, but it does not constitute a limitation on this utility model. Other variations of the disclosed embodiments, which are readily apparent to those skilled in the art, should fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model, with reference to the description of this utility model.
