[0002] The tabletop toys currently on the market are simple stacking or assembly modular toys, lacking fun and interactivity, especially for children and teenagers. They lack appeal and effective interaction between children and their friends and parents.
[0003] Most existing products involve using elastic ropes to pull the pieces, causing them to launch through a hole in the center of the board. Each piece that passes through the hole scores a point, and the player with the most pieces that reach the opponent's area at the end wins, while the player with the fewest loses. Although this method allows the pieces to launch, children cannot defend themselves during play, nor can they develop hand-eye coordination, which reduces the enjoyment of the game. Furthermore, it does not effectively train children's hand-eye coordination, thus diminishing the fun of launching chess. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a children's catapult chess toy that can improve children's hand-eye coordination and enhance the fun, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 The illustration shows a children's catapult chess toy, including a chess table 1, an elastic rope 4, and a defensive blocking component. A partition 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the chess table 1, and a through hole 3 is opened in the middle of the partition 2. The elastic rope 4 is installed at both ends of the inner side of the chess table 1, and the elastic rope 4 launches chess pieces 5, which are divided into two colors. The defensive blocking component is installed inside the partition 2 to intercept and block the chess pieces 5 that are launched through the through hole 3.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 The defensive blocking component shown in the figure includes storage cavities 6 on both sides of the partition plate 2. The storage cavities 6 are connected to the through holes 3. Lifting grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the storage cavities 6 and are connected to them. A blocking plate 8 is slidably installed inside the storage cavities 6. U-shaped rods 9 are fixed on both sides of the blocking plate 8. One end of the U-shaped rod 9 passes through the lifting groove 7 and extends outward to be fixedly connected to the shaft 10. The shaft 10 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 11. The slide groove 11 is opened on the swing rod 12. An installation cavity 13 is opened on the swing rod 12. A movable bolt 14 is fixed inside the installation cavity 13. A hanging rod 15 is rotatably connected to the movable bolt 14 inside the installation cavity 13. One end of the hanging rod 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chess table 1.
[0022] When playing the children's catapult chess toy: First, two children or a child and a parent are positioned at opposite ends of the chess table 1. Then, the chess pieces 5 inside the chess table 1 are placed on both sides of the partition 2 according to their colors. The game can then begin. When playing, the child or parent pushes the chess piece 5 to one side of the elastic rope 4 and pushes the elastic rope 4 to deform it, allowing the elastic rope 4 to store elastic potential energy. Then, the chess piece 5 is aligned with the through hole 3. At this point, the pressure on the chess piece 5 is released. The elastic rope 4, no longer pushed by the chess piece 5, releases its elastic potential energy, propelling the chess piece 5 out. The chess piece 5 is pushed and slides towards the side closer to the partition 2, passing through the through hole 3. If the chess piece 5 passes through the through hole 3 and enters the other side of the partition 2, a point is scored.
[0023] When the elastic rope 4 is pulled to slide the piece 5 towards the side closer to the partition plate 2, the child can use their other hand to push and pull the defensive blocking component to block the opponent's piece 5 and allow their own piece 5 to pass through the through hole 3, which can exercise the child's hand-eye coordination. When operating the defensive blocking component, the child can hold one end of the swing rod 12 and lift and press it, causing the swing rod 12 to rotate around the movable bolt. When the swing rod 12 rotates, it can cause the slide groove 11 to push the shaft 10, and the shaft 10 is pushed. The mechanism enables the slide to move within the slide groove 11, while the shaft 10 moves vertically up and down. When the shaft 10 moves up and down, it drives the U-shaped rod 9 to move up and down synchronously within the lifting groove 7. During the movement of the U-shaped rod 9, it drives the blocking plate 8 to move up and down within the storage cavity 6. This allows the blocking plate 8 to block and open the through hole 3, and to block and allow the piece 5 to pass through. This increases the difficulty of launching the piece 5, while improving the coordination between children's hands and eyes, increasing the fun of children's play, and enhancing the interest of children's catapult chess.
[0024] The device has a simple structure. By adding a chess table 1, elastic rope 4, and defensive blocking components, it can increase the difficulty of playing catapult chess, improve children's hand-eye coordination, increase children's fun, and enhance the interest of children's catapult chess.
