Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kindergarten play and teaching aids technology, specifically relating to a Ferris wheel observation mirror play and teaching aid. Background Technology

[0002] Kindergarten is the first place where children learn and grow, and educational toys, as an important component of kindergarten education, play an indispensable role. Through interaction with educational toys, children can develop various sensory, cognitive, motor, and social skills, laying a solid foundation for their all-round development. Optical elements include various types of mirrors, each with different imaging characteristics. Therefore, creating an educational toy that integrates multiple types of mirrors for kindergarten children's learning and daily life is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a Ferris wheel observation mirror educational toy that integrates multiple types of mirrors.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved in the following way: a Ferris wheel observation mirror toy, including a base, a bracket fixedly installed on the base, a wheel connected to the bracket through a rotating shaft, lens mounting holes evenly arranged on the wheel, lenses installed in the lens mounting holes, and a rotating handle connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0005] The lens is one or more of a lens, a mirror, and a filter.

[0006] The lens is a spherical lens, cylindrical lens, spherical-cylindrical lens, torus lens, or aspherical lens; the mirror is a plane mirror, spherical mirror, or aspherical mirror; the filter is a color filter.

[0007] The spherical lens includes a biconvex lens, a biconcave lens, a convex-concave lens, a plano-convex lens, and a plano-concave lens.

[0008] The spherical mirrors include convex mirrors and concave mirrors; the aspherical mirrors include parabolic mirrors, hyperboloid mirrors, and ellipsoidal mirrors.

[0009] Three or more lens mounting holes are evenly distributed on the wheel.

[0010] This invention creatively combines various types of lenses with a Ferris wheel, allowing children to switch lenses by rotating a handle, observe and touch them, learn about their characteristics, discover the convergence and diffusion of light under the lenses, and observe the magical changes in objects under different lenses, such as magnification, shrinkage, inversion, and color change, thus stimulating their curiosity and desire to explore light and shadow phenomena. It is multifunctional, interactive, fun, educational, and safe. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the contents of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or alterations to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present invention.

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, a Ferris wheel observation mirror toy includes a base 1, a bracket 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a wheel 3 connected to the bracket 2 via a rotating shaft, lens mounting holes evenly arranged on the wheel 3, and lenses 4 installed in each lens mounting hole, and a rotating handle 5 connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0014] The lens is one or more of a lens, a mirror, and a filter.

[0015] Furthermore, the lens can be a spherical lens, cylindrical lens, spherocylindrical lens, torus lens, or aspherical lens; according to the surface geometry design of the lens, it can be divided into spherical lenses, aspherical lenses, cylindrical lenses, and torus lenses; according to special function classification, it can also include semi-transparent lenses; the spherical lens includes biconvex lenses, biconcave lenses, convex-concave lenses, plano-convex lenses, and plano-concave lenses.

[0016] The mirror can be a plane mirror, a spherical mirror, or an aspherical mirror; spherical mirrors include convex mirrors and concave mirrors; aspherical mirrors include parabolic mirrors, hyperboloid mirrors, and ellipsoidal mirrors.

[0017] The filter is a color filter.

[0018] Three lens mounting holes are evenly arranged on the wheel 3, but four, five, seven, eight, nine, or more lens mounting holes can also be provided.

[0019] (1) Understanding the types of lenses: Let children discover the differences between lenses by observing and touching them, understand the characteristics of lenses, and discover the convergence and diffusion of light under the lens.

[0020] (2) Exploration of light and shadow: The Ferris wheel observation mirror is equipped with various types of round lenses, including convex lenses, concave lenses, convex mirrors, concave mirrors, etc. Children can switch lenses by rotating the handle to observe the magical changes of objects under different lenses, such as magnification, shrinkage, inversion, color change, etc., which stimulates their curiosity and desire to explore light and shadow phenomena.

[0021] (3) Creative combination: The Ferris wheel observation mirror can be combined with other construction toys, such as building blocks, magnetic tiles, etc., to build various scenes, such as castles, zoos, etc. Children can observe their own works through the mirror, experience different visual feelings, and stimulate imagination and creativity.

[0022] (4) It has multifunctionality, interactivity and fun, educational value, safety and durability, aesthetics and creativity, and applicability.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
