[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] This embodiment provides a rope climbing toy, such as... Figures 1-7As shown, the device includes an outer shell 1, a driving wheel 3, a driven wheel 4, and a drive mechanism. The driving wheel 3, driven wheel 4, and drive mechanism are all installed within the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. On one side of the outer shell 1, there is a through-line groove 11 for a rope 2 to pass through. On both sides of the through-line groove 11, there are two opposing slots 16, with the openings of the slots 16 facing inwards towards the through-line groove 11. The through-line groove 11 communicates with the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 through the openings of the slots 16. The outer shell can be designed in different animal shapes, such as turtles, rabbits, and monkeys, to cater to children's preferences for different animals. The through-line groove 11 can extend along the tapering direction of the outer shell.
[0031] The driving wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4 extend from the two slots 16 into the through groove 11 and clamp the rope 2 in the through groove 11. The drive mechanism is connected to the driving wheel 3 and can drive the driving wheel 3 to rotate so as to move the outer shell 1 along the length direction of the rope 2.
[0032] The rope climbing toy in this embodiment is equipped with an outer shell 1, a drive wheel 3, a driven wheel 4, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism can drive the drive wheel 3 to rotate, thereby causing the outer shell 1 to move along the length of the rope 2, so as to achieve the effect of automatic rope climbing without the need to manually pull the rope to provide power, thus satisfying the play needs of automatic rope climbing.
[0033] Preferably, the surfaces of both the driving wheel and the driven wheel are made of a soft material, which increases the friction between them and the rope, thus firmly gripping the rope. Preferably, the circumference of the driving wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4 has a compression groove 301, and a plurality of spaced compression ribs 302 are provided in the compression groove 301 to further increase the friction between the driving wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4 and the rope.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the driven wheel 4 is connected to the inner side of the outer casing 1 through an elastic mechanism, thereby making the distance between the driven wheel and the driving wheel adjustable. This facilitates the placement of the rope into the through groove 11, and under the elastic force of the elastic mechanism, the driven wheel 4 moves closer to the driving wheel 3 to clamp the rope 2.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the elastic mechanism includes a pusher 41 and an elastic element 42, where the elastic element 42 is a spring. The pusher 41 has a receiving cavity 413 that accommodates a driven wheel 4. The driven wheel 4 is connected to the receiving cavity 413, with one side extending outwards to reach the outside of the cavity 413, allowing it to extend through the opening of the slot 16 into the wire groove 11 to contact the rope. The side of the pusher 41 facing away from the driven wheel 4 is connected to the elastic element 42, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the inner wall of the cavity. The pusher 41 is slidably connected within the inner cavity of the outer casing 1. Specifically, the pusher 41 has a strip-shaped hole 411, the length direction of which is the same as the extension / retraction direction of the elastic element 42. Inside the outer casing 1, there is a connecting post 121, which is slidably disposed within the strip-shaped hole 411.
[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic element can drive the pusher 41 and the driven wheel 4 to move synchronously, making the movement of the driven wheel 4 smoother.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the rope climbing toy in this embodiment also includes a push rod 5, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting baffle 412 is provided on the pusher 41, and one end of the push rod 5 extends to the outside of the outer shell 1 while the other end abuts against the limiting baffle 412. The push rod 5 has a guide block 51, and a guide opening 52 is provided in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The guide block 51 extends into the guide opening 52 and can move along the guide opening 52 to guide the movement of the push rod 5.
[0038] When the player pushes the push rod 5 into the outer shell, the push rod 5 will push the limit baffle 412 in the opposite direction to compress the elastic element, allowing the rope to pass between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. Due to the action of the elastic element, the driving wheel and the driven wheel can firmly clamp ropes of different thicknesses.
[0039] In one preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor 31 and a gear assembly. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 is connected to one side of the gear assembly, and the other side of the gear assembly is connected to the drive wheel 3. The drive motor 31 drives the drive wheel 3 to rotate via the gear assembly. The drive motor 31 and the gear assembly are fixed in the inner cavity of the housing 1 by a mounting plate 102. The gear assembly can be a transmission mechanism composed of a worm gear and a gear.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the gear assembly includes a worm 32, a first gear 33, a second gear 34, a third gear 35, a fourth gear 36, and a fifth gear 37. The worm 32 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 31. The first gear 33 is coaxially connected to the second gear 34 and meshes with the worm 32. The diameter of the first gear 33 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 34. The second gear 34 meshes with the third gear 35. The fourth gear 36 is coaxially connected to the third gear 35 and meshes with the fifth gear 37. The diameter of the fourth gear 36 is smaller than the diameters of the third gear 35 and the fifth gear 37. The fifth gear 37 is coaxially connected to the drive wheel 3.
[0041] The gear assembly in this embodiment is a reduction gear assembly, which reduces the output power of the drive motor 31 and transmits it to the drive wheel, making the transmission process more stable.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the rope climbing toy of this embodiment further includes a circuit board 6, a battery box 15 electrically connected to the circuit board 6, and a start switch 8. The circuit board 6 is installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, the battery box 15 is installed on the outer side of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and the start switch 8 extends to the outer side of the outer shell 1. A drive motor 31 is connected to the circuit board 6. The battery box 15 is used to install batteries to provide power to the drive motor. A power switch 101 is connected to the battery board and extends to the outer side of the outer shell 1. Preferably, the power switch 101 is located at the head end of the outer shell, and the start switch is located at the tail end of the outer shell for easy distinction. The power switch 101 can control the power supply of the rope climbing toy. When the power switch 101 is on, turning on the start switch 8 causes the drive wheel to start rotating, and the outer shell of the rope climbing toy moves along the rope.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the rope climbing toy of this embodiment also includes a first induction switch 7, which is disposed at the head end inside the outer casing 1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 6.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the rope climbing toy of this embodiment further includes a second sensor switch 9, which is correspondingly disposed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 and corresponds to the through-line groove 11. The second sensor switch 9 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. The second sensor switch 9 is disposed at the front end of the driving wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4.
[0045] The first sensor switch 7 is located at the head end inside the outer casing 1. When the first sensor switch 7 detects an obstacle in front, the circuit board controls the drive motor to stop rotating to prevent the product from falling. The second sensor switch 9 is located at the front end of the drive wheel 3 and the driven wheel 4. When the product climbs down from top to bottom, the second sensor switch 9 detects that the rope has ended, and the circuit board controls the drive motor to stop rotating to prevent the product from falling.
[0046] The rope climbing toy in this embodiment, by setting a first sensor switch 7 and a second sensor switch 9, allows the product to climb freely on the rope while effectively preventing the product from falling.
[0047] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer casing 1 includes a bottom casing 12, an upper casing 13, and an outer cover 14. A cable channel 11 is disposed on the bottom casing 12, and the upper casing 13 covers the upper side of the bottom casing, forming an inner cavity of the outer casing 1 between the upper casing 13 and the bottom casing. The battery box 15 is installed at the upper notch 131 of the upper casing 13 and is recessed relative to the upper casing 13. The outer casing is detachably installed on the upper casing 13 and the upper side of the battery cover to facilitate the installation or removal of the battery. Preferably, the bottom casing 12 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the cable channel 11, so that the bottom casing 12 is subjected to balanced forces on both sides of the rope, making the rope climbing process more stable.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
