[0002] Children's toys refer to products designed or intended for play by children under the age of 14, manufactured and sold, except for those explicitly stated by the manufacturer as not intended for children. The main types of children's toys include figurative toys, technical toys, assembly and building toys, construction and structural toys, sports toys, musical toys, labor toys, decorative toys, and homemade toys. General educational requirements for toys include: promoting the all-round development of children's physical, moral, intellectual, and aesthetic aspects; conforming to children's age characteristics; satisfying their curiosity, activity, and desire for exploration; having beautiful shapes that reflect typical characteristics of things; offering varied activities to encourage learning; meeting hygiene requirements; using non-toxic colors; being easy to clean and disinfect; and meeting safety requirements.

[0003] Piggy banks, as a traditional tool for cultivating children's financial awareness and saving habits, have always been loved by parents and children. However, traditional children's piggy banks have been found to lack safety protection measures during use, making it easy for children to open them on their own, which goes against the original intention of cultivating patience in saving. In addition, the edges of the coin slot are not rounded enough, posing a risk of getting fingers stuck and a potential threat to the safety of children's fingers. To address these issues, we propose a children's piggy bank with a safety lock mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a children's piggy bank with a safety lock mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A child's piggy bank with a safety lock mechanism includes a piggy bank body, a cover plate snapped onto the inner wall of the piggy bank body, two sets of disassembly grooves on the upper surface of the cover plate, a coin slot on the upper surface of the cover plate, two strip grooves on the upper surface of the cover plate, a pull plate slidably connected inside the two strip grooves, a cavity inside the cover plate, a linkage plate inside the cavity, the bottom end of the pull plate being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the linkage plate, two sets of support blocks being fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the piggy bank body, the cover plate being threadedly connected to the support blocks by fixing nails, a communicating groove on the inner wall of the coin slot, an insert plate being fixedly connected to the right side of the linkage plate and the insert plate being adapted to the communicating groove, and two springs being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, the right end of each spring being fixedly connected to the left side of the linkage plate.

[0007] In a further embodiment, each of the disassembly slots is provided with a snap-fit ​​cover inside, and the snap-fit ​​cover snaps into the disassembly slot.

[0008] In a further embodiment, two sets of support seats are provided below the main body of the piggy bank, and the upper surface of each support seat is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main body of the piggy bank.

[0009] In a further embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the inner top wall of the cavity, and a guide block is slidably connected inside the guide groove. The bottom surface of the guide block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the linkage plate.

[0010] In a further embodiment, two sliding holes are provided on the right side of the linkage plate, and a sliding rod is slidably connected inside each sliding hole. The left and right ends of each sliding rod are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the cavity, and the spring is located outside the sliding rod.

[0011] In a further embodiment, each of the sliding rods has a sliding block slidably connected to its outer surface, and the two sliding blocks are respectively fixedly connected to the front and back sides of the insert plate on their respective sides.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This device uses a pull plate to move a linkage plate within a cavity, allowing the insert plate to be inserted into the coin slot of the cover plate via a connecting groove, achieving a safe lock and preventing children's fingers from getting stuck. When the linkage plate moves, the guide block slides within the guide groove, ensuring smooth and accurate movement, while the spring provides elastic restoring force, allowing the linkage plate to return to its initial position after operation. The cooperation of the sliding rod and sliding block enhances the stability and reliability of the mechanism. The screw connection between the fixing pin and the support block ensures the stability of the cover plate and prevents the fixing pin from loosening and falling off. This effectively solves the problems found in traditional children's piggy banks during use, such as the lack of safety protection measures, easy opening by children, which defeats the original intention of cultivating patience for saving, and the lack of rounded edges of the coin slot, which poses a risk of finger entrapment and potential threat to children's finger safety.
