Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1This is an exploded view of a card-pushing toy in the prior art, where 1 is the first slider, 2 is the limiting plate, 3 is the spring-loaded ball module, and 4 is the second slider. The card-pushing toy consists of a first slider, a limiting plate, a spring-loaded ball module, and a second slider stacked in sequence. The limiting plate and the second slider are often connected and fixed by screws. When it is necessary to separate the first slider and the second slider, the second slider must be separated from the limiting plate before the spring-loaded ball module can be removed to complete the disassembly of all parts. There are many parts, and the assembly structure is complex.

[0035] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a mechanical card-pushing toy that effectively simplifies the structure, reduces the number of parts, and thus improves the overall assembly efficiency.

[0036] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of a mechanical card-pushing toy 1 provided by this utility model and its corresponding technical effects.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 2-6 This utility model provides a mechanical push-card toy 1, including a first push block 100, a top bead assembly, a striking bead assembly, and a second push block 200. The first push block 100 is provided with a mating groove 110 extending along a first direction. The mating groove 110 includes a disengagement area 114 and a mating area 113 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The inner sidewall of the mating area 113 is provided with a first sliding groove 111. The second push block 200 is provided with a mounting part 210 for sliding connection within the mating groove 110. The outer side of the mounting part 210 is provided with a mating protrusion 213 that slides and engages with the first sliding groove 111. The first sliding groove 111 restricts the movement of the mating protrusion 213 in the depth direction of the mating groove 110. The mounting part 210 can move from the mating area 113 towards the disengagement area 114 along the first direction, so that the mating protrusion 213 disengages from the first sliding groove 111. The striking bead assembly is mounted on the mounting part 210. The depth direction of the mating groove 110 is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0038] Understandably, during the movement of the second push block 200 relative to the first push block 100 along the first direction, the mounting part 210 can move between the mating area 113 and the disengagement area 114. Since the first slide groove 111 is only provided in the mating area 113, during the movement of the mating protrusion 213 along the first direction toward the disengagement area 114, the mating protrusion 213 will gradually disengage from the first slide groove 111. At this time, the user can move the first push block 100 relative to the second push block 200 along the depth direction of the mating groove 110 to separate the first push block 100 from the second push block 200.

[0039] When the mounting part 210 is in the mating groove 110 and the mating protrusion 213 moves in the direction of the mating area 113 in the first direction, the mating protrusion 213 can gradually enter the first slide groove 111 from the state of being separated from the first slide groove 111, thereby realizing the assembly of the first push block 100 and the second push block 200.

[0040] The second pusher block 200 integrates a mounting part 210 for connecting the ball-bumping assembly. In this embodiment, the number of parts of the mechanical pusher toy 1 is effectively reduced. When disassembling the first pusher block 100 and the second pusher block 200 in this embodiment, it is not necessary to remove screws or magnets. It is only necessary to move the mating protrusion 213 in the direction of the first direction toward the disengagement area 114 until the mating protrusion disengages from the first slide groove 111, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the mechanical pusher toy 1.

[0041] Understandably, this embodiment eliminates the use of the limiting plate and fasteners such as screws, which also reduces the cost of this push-card toy.

[0042] In detail, in this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 130 extending in a first direction is provided on the inner sidewall of the mating area 113. The limiting protrusion 130, together with the sidewall and bottom wall of the mating area 113, defines the first sliding groove 111. It can be understood that when the mating protrusion 213 extends into the first sliding groove 111, the mating protrusion 213 abuts against the limiting protrusion 130 and is located on the side of the limiting protrusion 130 near the bottom wall of the mating groove 110.

[0043] The mating area 113 has limit protrusions 130 on both sides along the second direction, and the mounting part 210 has mating protrusions 213 on both sides along the second direction that slide with the first slide groove 111. The first direction and the second direction form an angle. It can be understood that by sliding with the two first slide grooves 111 respectively through the mating protrusions 213 on both sides of the second direction, the mounting part 210 can ensure the stability of sliding within the mating groove 110.

[0044] The bottom surface of the mating area 113 is provided with a second slide groove 120 extending along the first direction. The first slide groove 111 has a first end 112 near the disengagement area 114, and the second slide groove 120 has a second end 122 near the disengagement area 114. The second end 122 is near the disengagement area 114 relative to the first end 112. The mounting part 210 is provided with a first hole 211, which is opposite to the second slide groove 120. The mechanical push card toy 1 also includes a top bead assembly, which includes a first spring 320 and a top bead 310. The first spring 320 and the top bead 310 are housed in the first hole 211. The two ends of the first spring 320 are respectively connected to the bottom wall of the first hole 211 and the top bead 310. During the movement of the mounting part 210 in the mating area along the first direction, the top bead 310 can be moved by the mounting part 210 within the second slide groove 120.

[0045] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the first hole 211 can be understood as the end wall of the first hole 211 that is away from the opening end in its own depth direction.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the second end 122 is closer to the disengagement area 114 than the first end 112, that is, the second slide groove 120 is closer to the disengagement area 114 than the first slide groove 111, and when the top bead 310 moves along the first direction to the second end 122 of the second slide groove 120, the cooperating protrusion 213 is still located in the first slide groove 111.

[0047] Understandably, during the movement of the mounting part 210 from the mating area 113 to the disengagement area 114 along the first direction, when the top bead 310 moves to the second end 122 of the second slide groove 120, the mating protrusion 213 has not yet disengaged from the first slide groove 111. Since part of the top bead 310 is located in the first hole 211 and the other part is located in the second slide groove 120, when the user slides the first push block 100, when the top bead 310 moves to the second end 122 of the second slide groove 120, the top bead 310 can restrict the movement of the mating protrusion 213 along the first direction towards the disengagement area 114, preventing the mating protrusion 213 from easily disengaging from the first slide groove 111, and ensuring that the user does not easily separate the first push block 100 from the second push block 200 when sliding the first push block 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, a pin hole 121 is provided at one end of the second slide groove 120 near the disengagement area 114. The axial direction of the pin hole 121 is parallel to the depth direction of the mating groove 110, and the pin hole 121 penetrates the first push block 100. It can be understood that, due to the setting of the pin hole 121, when it is necessary to separate the first push block 100 from the second push block 200, when the top bead 310 moves to the second end 122 of the second slide groove 120, a small needle can be inserted into the pin hole 121 to make the top bead 310 move towards the bottom wall of the first hole 211. At this time, the first spring 320 is compressed until the top bead 310 disengages from the second slide groove 120 along the axial direction of the first hole 211. Then, the first push block 100 can be driven to continue sliding in the first direction, so that the mating protrusion 213 continues to move towards the disengagement area 114, thereby disengaging the mating protrusion 213 from the first slide groove 111.

[0049] During the assembly process, as the mating protrusion 213 moves from the disengagement area 114 to the mating area 113, the top ball 310 is first compressed by the bottom surface of the mating groove 110. When the second slide groove 120 moves to be opposite the top ball 310, under the action of the first spring 320, the top ball 310 extends into the second slide groove 120. At this time, a sound will be heard when the top ball 310 collides with the second slide groove 120, indicating that the top ball 310 has entered the second slide groove 120. At this time, the mating protrusion 213 also enters the first slide groove 111.

[0050] In detail, in this embodiment, there are two second slide grooves 120, which are spaced apart along the second direction. There are also two first holes 211 and two top ball assemblies, each corresponding to one of the two second slide grooves 120. This further ensures the stability of the first push block 100 sliding relative to the second push block 200 in the first direction.

[0051] Optionally, the second slide groove 120 includes a bottom wall and two end walls spaced apart along the first direction. The end walls are arc-shaped walls that are adapted to the top bead 310, so as to ensure that the top bead 310 will not easily fall out of the second slide groove 120 when it moves to the second end 122.

[0052] In detail, the ball bearing assembly includes a second spring (not shown in the figure) and a ball bearing 410. The mounting part has a second hole 212. The bottom surface of the mating groove 110 is also provided with a plurality of ball bearing grooves 140 spaced apart along the first direction. The ball bearing grooves 140 are adapted to the ball bearing 410. The ball bearing grooves 140 are arranged opposite to the second hole 212. The two ends of the second spring are respectively connected to the bottom wall of the second hole 212 and the ball bearing 410. The ball bearing 410 can be driven by the mounting part 210 to move along the first direction on the plurality of ball bearing grooves 140.

[0053] Understandably, as the ball bearing 410 moves along the first direction on multiple ball bearing slots 140, a collision sound will occur every time the ball bearing 410 switches to a different ball bearing slot 140.

[0054] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the second hole 212 can be understood as the end wall of the second hole 212 along its own axial direction. In this embodiment, both the mating area 113 and the disengagement area 114 are provided with ball grooves 140.

[0055] Optionally, there are multiple second holes 212, which are spaced apart along the first direction. There are also multiple ball bearing components, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple second holes 212.

[0056] In this embodiment, "multiple" can be understood as two or more quantities. For example, the number of second holes 212 and the number of ball-bearing components can both be two.

[0057] Of course, in some embodiments, the number of second holes 212 can also be understood as one.

[0058] In summary, the mechanical push-card toy 1 provided by this utility model embodiment includes a first push block 100, a top bead assembly, a collision bead assembly, and a second push block 200. The first push block 100 is provided with a mating groove 110 extending along a first direction. The mating groove 110 includes a disengagement area 114 and a mating area 113 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The inner sidewall of the mating area 113 is provided with a first sliding groove 111. The second push block 200 is provided with a mounting part 210 for sliding connection within the mating groove 110. The outer side of the mounting part 210 is provided with a mating protrusion 213 that slides and engages with the first sliding groove 111. The first sliding groove 111 is used to restrict the movement of the mating protrusion 213 in the depth direction of the mating groove 110. The mounting part 210 can move from the mating area 113 toward the disengagement area 114 along the first direction, so that the mating protrusion 213 disengages from the first sliding groove 111. When disassembling the first push block 100 and the second push block 200 in this embodiment, it is not necessary to remove the screws or magnets. It is only necessary to move the mating protrusion 213 in the direction of the first direction toward the disengagement area 114 until the mating protrusion disengages from the first slide groove 111, which improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the mechanical push card toy 1.

[0059] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
