Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of children's educational play devices, and in particular relates to a water-powered children's educational play device. Background Technology

[0002] With the diversification of children's entertainment facilities, water-powered toys have become widely popular due to their interactivity and fun. Traditional water-powered toys are mostly simple, driven by spraying or flowing water, offering limited functionality and lacking interactivity and educational value. For example, existing waterwheel toys typically only have a simple rotating function, failing to stimulate children's desire to explore and their creativity, and also making it difficult to convey scientific principles through play.

[0003] Furthermore, most children's water play equipment on the market is electrically driven or manually operated, which not only poses certain safety hazards but also limits children's experience in outdoor environments. While water-powered devices are environmentally friendly and safe, existing products still have shortcomings in structural design and functional integration, making it difficult to achieve multi-component linkage and autonomous construction, thus reducing their entertainment and educational value.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of water-powered interactive educational play device for children. Through ingenious structural design, it can realize the water-powered linkage of multiple components, while incorporating elements such as music and gear transmission to enhance fun and interactivity, help children learn scientific knowledge through play, and cultivate hands-on skills and creativity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-powered interactive educational play device for children to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model for a water-powered interactive children's educational play device is as follows:

[0007] A water-powered interactive children's educational play device includes a water-connected box, a large waterwheel assembly, a small waterwheel assembly, a musical percussion assembly, a gear assembly, and a universal water pipe. The water-connected box contains circulating water. The universal water pipe is located above the water-connected box and connects to a water source or an existing children's water play device. The large waterwheel assembly, small waterwheel assembly, and musical percussion assembly are located inside the water-connected box. The gear assembly is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water-connected box and connected to the large waterwheel assembly. Water from the universal water pipe impacts the large waterwheel assembly, causing it to rotate, which in turn drives the gears on the gear assembly to rotate and causes the musical percussion assembly to produce sound. The water flow from the large waterwheel assembly drives the small waterwheel assembly to rotate, creating a water-connected effect.

[0008] Furthermore, one side of the water linkage box has an arc-shaped groove for connecting the water outlet pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the water linkage box has a drain outlet, which is a press-out outlet for draining water.

[0010] Furthermore, the large waterwheel assembly includes a bracket, a large waterwheel, a rotating shaft, and a connecting rod. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the upper end of the bracket, and one end is connected to a gear assembly. The large waterwheel is installed on one side of the rotating shaft and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The connecting rod is fixed on the rotating shaft and is perpendicular to the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the omnidirectional water pipe is adjustable in all directions to be aligned with the top of the large waterwheel.

[0012] Furthermore, the gear assembly includes a perforated plate and gear fittings. The perforated plate is fixedly installed on the side plate of the water linkage box. The perforated plate has multiple through holes for installing gear fittings. The gear fittings include a fixed gear and a self-constructing gear. The fixed gear is installed on the perforated plate, and its shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket of the large waterwheel assembly, and is driven to rotate synchronously by the large waterwheel. The self-constructing gear is selected and installed on the perforated plate by the child to achieve a transmission connection with the fixed gear.

[0013] Furthermore, the self-constructed gear includes multiple gears of different sizes, with different rotating devices installed on the gears, and the perforated plate is made of transparent acrylic material.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting rod may comprise one or more rods.

[0015] Furthermore, the musical percussion assembly includes a fixed base, a percussion rod mounting bracket, a second rotating shaft, a percussion rod, and a percussion tone. The percussion tone is fixedly mounted on the fixed base, the percussion rod mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixed base, the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixed base, and the percussion rod is mounted on the second rotating shaft, perpendicular to the second rotating shaft. The number of percussion rods and percussion tone is consistent with the number of connecting rods, and they are aligned one by one. The water outlet of the universal water pipe drives the large waterwheel to rotate, causing the first rotating shaft to rotate and drive the connecting rod to flip, touching the percussion rod, thereby causing the percussion rod to rise and fall, striking the percussion tone and producing music.

[0016] Furthermore, the small waterwheel assembly includes a small waterwheel and a small waterwheel bracket. The small waterwheel bracket is installed on one side of the musical percussion assembly, and the small waterwheel is rotatably mounted on the small waterwheel bracket. The small waterwheel is located below the large waterwheel and is driven to rotate by the water flowing down from the large waterwheel, thus achieving linkage.

[0017] The water-powered interactive children's educational play device provided by this utility model achieves an organic combination of entertainment, interactivity, and education through ingenious structural design and water-powered drive principle, and has the following significant advantages:

[0018] 1. Highly engaging and stimulates children's interest in exploration.

[0019] By using multiple interconnected components such as large and small waterwheels driven by water flow, gear transmission, and musical percussion, a dynamic water play effect is created, attracting children to play attentively for extended periods.

[0020] The omnidirectional water pipe allows for adjustment of the water flow direction, enabling children to independently explore the effects of different angles on the waterwheel's rotation speed and the music's rhythm, thus enhancing the game's fun and variability.

[0021] 2. Interactivity and self-construction capabilities

[0022] The gear assembly features a modular design, allowing children to freely combine gears of different sizes, observe changes in the transmission ratio, and even add decorative parts such as windmills, fostering hands-on skills and creativity.

[0023] The musical percussion component produces sound through mechanical linkage. Children can change the pitch and rhythm by adjusting the number of levers or the water flow, experiencing the fun of a "water-powered music box".

[0024] 3. Outstanding value in science education

[0025] It visually demonstrates the basic physical principles of water power, gear transmission, mechanical linkage, and sound generation, helping children learn scientific knowledge through play.

[0026] The perforated design made of transparent acrylic material makes it easy for children to observe the meshing and transmission process of gears, deepening their understanding of mechanical principles.

[0027] 4. Environmentally friendly and safe, with a wide range of applicable scenarios.

[0028] Driven purely by water, it requires no electricity or batteries, avoiding the risk of electric leakage, and is suitable for outdoor water play areas, parks or family yards.

[0029] 5. Highly scalable

[0030] The arc-shaped groove on the side of the water linkage box supports the connection of multiple devices to form a circulating water system, which is suitable for multi-player cooperative games or the construction of large-scale water play facilities.

[0031] 6. Promote sensory and cognitive development

[0032] Multi-sensory stimulation, including visual (rotating waterwheel, turning gears), auditory (musical percussion), and tactile (tactile sensation of flowing water), promotes the coordinated development of children's perception.

[0033] Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills through independent experiments (such as adjusting gear combinations and water flow).

[0034] This invention not only provides the entertainment function of traditional water play devices, but also enables children to learn physics knowledge in a subtle way through scientific interactive design. It combines education and entertainment with safety and has broad market application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a water-powered interactive educational play device for children.

[0039] like Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a water-powered interactive children's educational play device, comprising a water-powered box 1, a large waterwheel assembly 2, a small waterwheel assembly 3, a musical percussion assembly 4, a gear assembly 5, and a universal water pipe 6. The water-powered box 1 contains circulating water. The universal water pipe 6 is located above the water-powered box 1 and connects to a water source or the previous children's water play device. The large waterwheel assembly 2, the small waterwheel assembly 3, and the musical percussion assembly 4 are located inside the water-powered box 1. The gear assembly 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water-powered box 1 and connected to the large waterwheel assembly 2. Water from the universal water pipe 6 impacts the large waterwheel assembly 2, causing it to rotate, which in turn drives the gears on the gear assembly 5 to rotate and causes the musical percussion assembly 4 to produce sound. The water flow from the large waterwheel assembly 2 drives the small waterwheel assembly 3 to rotate, creating a water-powered interactive effect.

[0040] The water linkage box 1 has an arc-shaped groove 11 on one side for connecting a water outlet pipe, which connects to other water play devices to achieve water circulation. The bottom of the water linkage box 1 has a drain outlet 12, which is a push-to-drain outlet for draining water.

[0041] The large waterwheel assembly 2 includes a bracket 21, a large waterwheel 22, a rotating shaft 23, and a connecting rod 24. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the bracket 21, and one end is connected to the gear assembly 5. The large waterwheel 22 is mounted on one side of the rotating shaft 23 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23. The connecting rod 24 is fixed on the rotating shaft 23 and is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 23. The connecting rod 24 may include one or more rods, matching the number of notes in the musical percussion assembly 4. The omnidirectional water pipe 6 is omnidirectionally adjustable and aligned above the large waterwheel 22.

[0042] The gear assembly 5 includes a perforated plate 51 and gear fittings 52. The perforated plate 51 is fixedly mounted on the side plate of the water linkage box 1. The perforated plate 51 has multiple through holes for mounting the gear fittings 52. The gear fittings 52 include a fixed gear 521 and a self-constructing gear. The fixed gear 521 is mounted on the perforated plate 51, and its shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket 21 of the large waterwheel assembly 2, and is driven to rotate synchronously by the large waterwheel 22. The self-constructing gear is selected and installed by the child on the perforated plate 51 to achieve a transmission connection with the fixed gear 521. The self-constructing gear can include multiple gears of different sizes, and different rotating devices, such as windmills, can be set on the gears. Driven synchronously by water power, it increases the fun of water play. Preferably, the perforated plate 51 is made of transparent acrylic material, which is convenient for children to observe and understand the principle of the device.

[0043] The musical percussion component 4 includes a fixed base 41, a percussion rod mounting bracket 42, a second rotating shaft 43, a percussion rod 44, and a percussion tone 45. The percussion tone 45 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 41. The percussion rod mounting bracket 42 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixed base 41. The second rotating shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixed base 41. The percussion rod 44 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 43 and is perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 43. The number of percussion rods 44 and percussion tone 45 is the same as the number of connecting rods 24, and they are aligned one by one. Water from the universal water pipe 6 drives the large waterwheel 22 to rotate, causing the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate and drive the connecting rod 24 to flip, which then touches the percussion rod 44, thereby causing the percussion rod 44 to rise and fall, striking the percussion tone 45 and producing music.

[0044] The small waterwheel component 3 includes a small waterwheel 31 and a small waterwheel bracket 32. The small waterwheel bracket 32 ​​is installed on one side of the musical percussion component 4. The small waterwheel 31 is rotatably installed on the small waterwheel bracket 32. The small waterwheel 31 is located below the large waterwheel 22 and is driven to rotate by the water flowing down from the large waterwheel 22 to achieve linkage.

[0045] In use, first rotate the universal water pipe shaft 236 to align its outlet with the blades of the large waterwheel shaft 2322, ensuring the water flow effectively impacts the waterwheel to make it rotate. Then, install the custom-built gear shaft 23. Optional shaft 23: Children can install different sized gear accessories shaft 2351 and shaft 23 on the pegboard shaft 23 according to their interests, meshing them with the fixed gear shaft 23521 to observe the gear transmission effect. Water flowing through the universal water pipe shaft 236 impacts the large waterwheel shaft 2322, causing it to begin rotating. The rotation of the large waterwheel's axle 2322 drives the rotation of the fixed gear 2321 within the gear assembly 233. If a self-constructing gear is installed, it will trigger the rotation of other gears. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 2324 on the large waterwheel's axle 23 rises and falls with the rotation, striking the percussion rod 2344 on the music striking assembly 2345, producing a pleasant musical sound. The water flowing from the large waterwheel's axle 2322 continues to impact the smaller waterwheel's axle 2331 below, causing them to rotate synchronously, creating a water-linked effect. Children can replace the gears with different sizes to observe the changes in rotation speed and understand the mechanical principles of gear transmission.
