Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and more particularly to a desktop educational toy. Background Technology

[0002] Existing educational toys, especially avoidance toys, typically trigger their movement by controlling a conductive sheet to avoid conductive terminals on a rolling belt. When the conductive sheet contacts a terminal and electrical conductivity is established, the rolling belt stops rolling, indicating a failed avoidance attempt. An example of this type of educational toy is the children's educational toy provided in Chinese patent application CN214633993U. The manufacturing process for this triggering method is relatively complex, requiring printed circuitry on the rolling belt. This increases production costs, and the printed circuitry is prone to wear and tear over long-term use, making it difficult to maintain trigger sensitivity and resulting in insufficient functional reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a desktop educational toy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the high production cost and insufficient functional reliability of the triggering structure of educational toys in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a desktop educational toy, including a housing and a rolling assembly and a trigger assembly mounted on the housing. The rolling assembly includes a drive group and a rolling belt connected by a drive, and the rolling belt is controlled by the drive group to roll on the housing. Multiple obstacle blocks are distributed on the outer surface of the rolling belt. The trigger assembly includes a mounting base movably mounted on the housing, a switch fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and a trigger element rotatably mounted on the mounting base. The switch is electrically connected to the drive group, and the trigger element can rotate between a first position close to the outer surface and a second position where the switch is activated by contact. When the trigger element contacts an obstacle block, it can be pushed from the first position to the second position.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the rolling belt includes a plurality of mounting plates, each mounting plate having at least one connecting portion on its outer side, and an obstacle block being detachably connected to the connecting portion.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting part is a slot structure, and the outer side of the barrier block is provided with a protrusion that matches the shape of the slot structure. The protrusion is detachably inserted into the slot structure.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly includes a first roller and a second roller rotatably mounted on the housing, a motor fixedly mounted inside the housing, and a gear set transmissionally connected between the motor and the first roller, wherein the first roller and the second roller are respectively sleeved on the inner side of the rolling belt.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the triggering component further includes a steering wheel rotatably mounted on the housing, a sliding hole provided on the mounting base, and a slider eccentrically protruding from the steering wheel. The slider is slidably connected within the sliding hole and is used to push the mounting base to move during the rotation of the steering wheel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting base is provided with a connecting platform, the trigger is rotatably connected to the connecting platform, and a positioning rod is provided on one side of the connecting platform. The positioning rod and the trigger are detachably engaged to limit the trigger to the first position.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting base includes a detachable and fixed first mounting base and a second mounting base. The first mounting base is movably disposed within the housing and is driven and connected to the steering wheel. The second mounting base is movably disposed on the housing and is rotatably connected to the trigger element.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the housing is provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove. The rolling belt is rotatably mounted in the first mounting groove, and the second mounting groove is provided on one side adjacent to the first mounting groove. The mounting seat is movably mounted in the second mounting groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a spray assembly comprising an outer shell fixedly mounted on the housing and a water tank fixedly disposed within the outer shell. A flip cover is detachably connected to the open end of the water tank, and an atomizing plate is fixedly mounted to the other open end of the water tank. The atomizing plate is electrically connected to the switch.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the outer shell includes a body and a head. The body has a recessed retaining groove that is detachably fixed to the shell. The head includes a lower jaw and an upper jaw that are rotatably connected. The lower jaw is rotatably mounted on the body, and the water tank is fixedly mounted on the upper jaw. The water tank is receptively connected to the lower jaw.

[0014] Therefore, based on the technical means of this utility model, it can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects: The desktop educational toy provided by this utility model has multiple obstacle blocks dispersed on the outer surface of the roller belt, and a trigger is rotatably mounted on the mounting base. During gameplay, when the trigger is in the first position, the player can control the trigger to avoid the obstacle blocks by moving the mounting base. When the trigger touches an obstacle block, it is pushed from the first position to the second position to trigger the switch, thereby stopping the roller belt from rotating, indicating a failed avoidance. It can be seen that the desktop educational toy provided by this utility model uses a hard contact between the trigger and the obstacle block of the roller belt to trigger the switch, eliminating the need for printed circuits, reducing production costs. Furthermore, the structure of the obstacle block, trigger, and switch is relatively more stable, less prone to wear leading to reduced sensitivity, and has stronger functional reliability.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a desktop educational toy, including a housing 100 and a rolling assembly 200, a trigger assembly 300, and a misting assembly 400 mounted on the housing 100. It is understood that the misting assembly 400 is used to apply a spray penalty when the game is lost, thereby enhancing the toy's fun and interactivity. In other embodiments of this invention, the misting assembly 400 may not be provided on the housing 100.

[0029] The housing 100 is formed by detachably and fixedly connecting a first housing 101 and a second housing 102. The housing 100 has a first mounting groove 110 and a second mounting groove 120. A rolling belt of the rolling assembly 200 is rotatably mounted in the first mounting groove 110, allowing the rolling belt to be exposed on the housing 100. The second mounting groove 120 is located adjacent to one side of the first mounting groove 110, and a mounting seat of the trigger assembly 300 is movably mounted in the second mounting groove 120, allowing the mounting seat to be exposed on the housing 100. This arrangement allows the rolling assembly 200 and the trigger assembly 300 to perform a dodging game on the housing 100, making the game more three-dimensional and intuitive, enhancing the player's immersion and improving the overall gaming experience.

[0030] In this embodiment, a retaining block 130 extends outward from the other side of the first mounting groove 110 on the housing 100. The retaining block 130 is used to detachably retain and fix the outer housing of the spray assembly 400. It is understood that the retaining block 130 connects the internal space of the housing 100 to the outside through a through hole, so that the conductive components disposed in the housing 100 and the spray assembly 400 can achieve conductive connection. In other embodiments of this utility model, if the toy does not have a spray assembly 400, the retaining block 130 may not be provided on the housing 100. Correspondingly, the retaining block 130 may be provided at other positions on the housing 100, for example, at the same side as the second mounting groove 120.

[0031] The rolling assembly 200 includes a drive group 210 and a rolling belt 220 connected by a drive group 210. The rolling belt 220 is controlled by the drive group 210 to roll continuously on the housing 100. The drive group 210 includes a first roller 211 and a second roller 212 rotatably mounted in a first mounting groove 110, a motor 213 fixedly mounted in the housing 100, and a gear set 214 drivingly connecting the motor 213 and the first roller 211. The first roller 211 and the second roller 212 are respectively sleeved on the inner side of the rolling belt 220. When the motor 213 starts, the motor 213 drives the first roller 211 to rotate through the gear set 214. The rotational engagement of the first roller 211 and the second roller 212 drives the rolling belt 220 to rotate continuously.

[0032] The rolling belt 220 is rotatably connected to the first mounting groove 110. The rolling belt 220 includes multiple mounting plates 221, and each mounting plate 221 has at least one connecting part 2211 on its outer side. An obstacle block 222 is detachably connected to the connecting part 2211. In this embodiment, each mounting plate 221 has one connecting part 221, and the positions of the connecting parts 2211 in the multiple mounting plates 221 are not corresponding (i.e., misaligned), which is used to disperse multiple obstacle blocks 222 on the outer side of the rolling belt 220 to increase the complexity and playability of the game. It can be understood that the rolling belt 220 also includes multiple connecting plates 223, which are connected between two mounting plates 221 to increase the spacing between two alternating obstacle blocks 222, thereby increasing the discontinuity and randomness of the distribution of multiple obstacle blocks 222. In other embodiments of this utility model, the rolling belt 220 may only include multiple mounting plates 221. Correspondingly, each mounting plate 221 can be provided with two or more connecting parts 2211, which can provide a variety of possibilities for the layout and quantity design of multiple obstacle blocks 222 on the rolling belt 220, thereby further improving the complexity and playability of the game.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting part 2211 is a slot structure, and the outer side of the barrier block 222 is provided with a protrusion 2221 that matches the shape of the slot structure. The protrusion 2221 is detachably inserted into the slot structure. In other embodiments of this utility model, the connecting part 2211 can be configured with other structures, such as a plug structure, a threaded groove or threaded column structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, a magnetic fixing structure, etc., and the barrier block 222 is correspondingly provided with a structure that is detachably connected to the connecting part 2211.

[0034] In this embodiment, the triggering component 300 includes a mounting base 310 movably disposed on the second mounting groove 120, a switch 320 fixedly disposed on the mounting base 310, a trigger 330 rotatably disposed on the mounting base 310, and a steering wheel 340 drivenly connected to the mounting base 310. In other embodiments of this utility model, the steering wheel 340 may be replaced by other structures drivenly connected to the mounting base 310, such as a pull rod, or the mounting base 310 may be directly movably connected within the second mounting groove 120 to achieve the purpose of moving within the second mounting groove 120 when the mounting base 310 is driven by an external force.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting base 310 includes a detachably fixed first mounting base 311 and a second mounting base 312. The first mounting base 311 is movably disposed within the housing 100 and drivenly connected to the steering wheel 400. The second mounting base 312 is movably disposed within the second mounting groove 120 and rotatably connected to the trigger member 330. Specifically, the first mounting base 311 has a sliding hole 3111, which is an elongated hole perpendicular to the moving direction of the second mounting base 312. A slider of the steering wheel 340 is slidably connected within the sliding hole 3111, and is used to move the second mounting base 312 by being driven by the steering wheel 340. The second mounting base 312 has a connecting platform 3121, and the trigger member 330 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 3121. A positioning rod 3122 is provided on one side of the connecting platform 3121. The positioning rod 3122 and the trigger member 330 are detachably engaged to limit the trigger member 330 to a first position. In other embodiments of this utility model, when the mounting base 310 is driven to move in other ways, the mounting base 310 may only include the second mounting base 312. Correspondingly, the second mounting base 312 may only be provided with a connecting platform 3121.

[0036] The switch element 320 is fixed to the second mounting base 312. Specifically, the switch element 320 is fixed to the other side of the connecting platform 3121 relative to the positioning rod 3122. The switch element 320 is electrically connected to the motor 213 and is used to control the motor 213 to stop working when the switch element 320 is triggered. It can be understood that the switch element 320 is configured as a touch switch, which is activated when touched and deactivated when no force is applied.

[0037] In this embodiment, the trigger 330 is shaped like a doll. One of the doll's feet is provided with a pivot 331 and a positioning groove 332. The pivot 331 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 3121, and the positioning groove 332 is provided relative to the positioning rod 3122 and is detachably engaged with it. The other foot of the doll extends to the outer surface of the rolling belt 220 and is tangentially connected to the obstacle block 222. It can be understood that the above arrangement allows the trigger 330 to rotate between a first position close to the outer surface of the rolling belt 220 and a second position that touches the start switch 320. When the trigger 330 is rotated so that the positioning groove 332 engages with the positioning rod 3122, the trigger 330 can be confined to the first position. At this time, the movable mounting base 310 can move part of the trigger 330 on the rolling belt 220. When the trigger 330 contacts the obstacle block 222, it can be pushed from the first position to the second position. The trigger 330 then touches the start switch 320 to control the motor 213 to stop working, thereby causing the rolling belt 220 to stop rotating, indicating a failed avoidance maneuver. In other embodiments of this invention, the trigger 330 can have other shapes, such as those of a vehicle.

[0038] The steering wheel 340 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The steering wheel 340 has an eccentrically protruding slider 341, which is slidably connected to the sliding hole 3111. The slider 341 is used to contact the inner wall of the sliding hole 3111 during the rotation of the steering wheel 340 to push the mounting base 310 to move left and right.

[0039] The spray assembly 400 includes an outer shell 410 fixedly mounted on the housing 100 and a water tank 420 fixedly disposed within the outer shell 410. In this embodiment, the outer shell 410 includes a body 411 and a head 412. A retaining groove 4111 is recessed on the body 411, and the retaining groove 4111 is detachably fixed to the retaining block 130. It is understood that the retaining groove 4111 connects the internal space of the outer shell 410 to the outside through a through hole. When the retaining groove 4111 is fixedly engaged with the retaining block 130, the outer shell 410 is connected to the internal space of the housing 100, so as to connect a conductive wire between the two. The head 412 includes a lower jaw 4121 and an upper jaw 4122 rotatably connected. The lower jaw 4121 is rotatably mounted on the body 411, and a water tank 420 is fixedly mounted on the upper jaw 4122. The water tank 420 is receptively connected to the lower jaw 4121 so that the water tank 420 can be receptively housed within or protruded from the lower jaw 4121 as the upper jaw 4122 rotates. In other embodiments of this invention, the outer shell 410 may be configured with other appearance shapes, in which case the outer shell 410 may only include the head 412 or other components.

[0040] A flip cover 421 is detachably connected to the open end of the water tank 420, and an atomizing plate 422 is fixedly installed at the other open end of the water tank 420. The atomizing plate 422 is electrically connected to the switch 320. When the switch 320 is activated, it can control the atomizing plate 422 to work, thereby realizing the spraying function of the spray assembly 400.

[0041] The game process of the desktop puzzle toy provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, rotate the trigger 330 to place it in the first position, then turn on the power to make the motor 213 work. At this time, the rolling belt 220 continuously rolls in the first mounting slot 110 under the drive of the motor 213. The player can drive the mounting base 310 to move left and right in the second mounting slot 120 by rotating the steering wheel 340 to control the movement of the trigger 330 to avoid the multiple obstacle blocks 222 scattered on the rolling belt 220. If the touch member 330 touches the obstacle block 222 and is pushed by it to turn from the first position to the second position, the touch member 330 touches the start switch 320 to control the motor 213 to stop rotating and to control the atomizing plate 422 to work, thus producing a spray effect, which means the game is lost. Rotate the trigger 330 again to place it in the first position, and the next round of the game can be played.

[0042] For clarity, certain features described in individual embodiments of the present invention may be used in combination in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in individual embodiments may also be used individually or in any suitable form in sub-combinations.
