[0002] Interactive printed materials refer to printed materials that can instantly change shape, flash light, or respond to sound when the reader touches, turns pages, or pushes and pulls them, such as pop-up books, creative reading materials, and greeting cards.
[0003] Currently, most interactive printed materials on the market can only be structurally modified but cannot produce sound. A few printed materials with sound capabilities rely on electronic sound generators to emit preset sounds based on user input. For example, a button switch can trigger the electronic sound generator to play a preset sound. These types of printed materials using electronic sound generators are structurally complex, costly, and the electronic components are difficult to recycle, which is detrimental to environmental protection.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a printed matter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 An exploded view of a printed matter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3An assembly flowchart of a printed matter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 3 Provide a detailed description.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the printed matter 100 mainly includes a front panel 110, a back panel 120, a sandwich panel 130, a flexible sound-generating element 140, and a turntable 150. The front panel 110 and the back panel 120 are the visible surfaces of the printed matter 100. For example, the front panel 110 and the back panel 120 can be the cover and back cover of a book, the front and back of the inner pages of a book, or the front and back of a greeting card, etc. The front panel 110 has a first side (… Figure 1 and Figure 2 (upper side) and second side ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom plate 120 has a third side (the lower side of the printed material). The first side can be printed with preset text and / or patterns to present a preset visual effect to the user; the second side is used to connect other structural components of the printed material 100. Correspondingly, the bottom plate 120 has a third side (…). Figure 1 and Figure 2 (upper side) and fourth side ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom side of the substrate 120 is used to connect other structural components of the printed material 100, and the fourth side can be printed with preset text and / or patterns to present a preset visual effect to the user. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the fourth side of the substrate 120 can also remain a solid color, without printing any text or patterns.
[0038] A sandwich layer 130 is disposed between the panel 110 and the base plate 120. A mounting hole 131 is provided at the center of the sandwich layer 130. The mounting hole 131 can be a circular hole, a square hole, a regular pentagonal hole, or other through hole of any shape. This utility model is not limited to this; the following description uses a circular mounting hole 131 as an example. An elastic sound-emitting element 140 is disposed at the edge of the mounting hole 131. The turntable 150 is approximately circular, with one or more protrusions 151 on its edge. The turntable 150 is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole 131. The turntable 150 can be rotatable by means of its outer contour engaging with the mounting hole 131, or it can be rotatable by being connected to the base plate 120 via a pivot 160. In addition, a first hole 111 is provided at the center of the panel 110. The first hole 111 is aligned with the mounting hole 131. The first hole 111 can be used as an observation hole for the user to observe the rotation status of the turntable 150; it can also be used as an operation hole for the user to rotate the turntable 150 by using their fingers or other tools. Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the sound-generating principle of a printed matter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4As shown, when the turntable 150 rotates in the mounting hole 131, the protrusion 151 on the turntable 150 will actuate the elastic sound-producing element 140, causing the elastic sound-producing element 140 to strike another protrusion 151 during the process of restoring its deformation, thereby producing sound; or, when the turntable 150 rotates in the mounting hole 131, the protrusion 151 on the turntable 150 will actuate the elastic sound-producing element 140, causing the elastic sound-producing element 140 to vibrate, thereby producing sound.
[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second hole 112 can also be provided on the panel 110, with the second hole 112 aligned with different parts of the turntable 150 as the first hole 111. Preferably, the first hole 111 is aligned with the center of the turntable 150, and the diameter of the first hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the turntable 150. By adopting the above structure, the user can observe the rotation state of the turntable 150 in more detail, and the panel 110 can effectively limit the turntable 150, preventing the turntable 150 from falling off. Preferably, the second hole 112 is aligned with the edge of the turntable 150, and the second hole 112 is an arc-shaped hole. By adopting the above structure, the second hole 112 can be used as an operating hole, allowing the user to rotate the turntable 150 by using their fingers or other tools.
[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, a mounting groove 132 is also provided on the interlayer 130, and the mounting groove 132 communicates with the mounting hole 131. A portion of the elastic sound-emitting element 140 is inserted into the mounting groove 132, and another portion is located in the mounting hole 131. Preferably, the portion of the elastic sound-emitting element 140 inserted into the mounting groove 132 is bonded and fixed to the interlayer 130 and / or the base plate 120. By adopting the above structure, the elastic sound-emitting element 140 can be firmly fixed, preventing it from falling off, thereby ensuring that the sound-emitting function of the printed matter 100 always remains in normal operation.
[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the elastic sound-generating element 140 can be a rubber strip or a metal spring. As previously described, when the turntable 150 rotates in the mounting hole 131, the protrusion 151 on it will actuate the elastic sound-generating element 140. Specifically, if a rubber strip is used as the elastic sound-generating element 140, the rubber strip will strike another protrusion 151 during its recovery from deformation, thereby producing sound. If a metal spring is used as the elastic sound-generating element 140, the metal spring will strike another protrusion 151 during its recovery from deformation, thereby producing sound; additionally, the protrusion 151 actuating the metal spring can also cause the metal spring to vibrate, thereby producing sound.
[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, multiple elastic sound-emitting elements 140 can be configured (in this embodiment, two positions are used), and the multiple elastic sound-emitting elements 140 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the mounting hole 131. When the turntable 150 rotates in the mounting hole 131, these elastic sound-emitting elements 140 can emit sound synchronously, thereby increasing the volume; in addition, these elastic sound-emitting elements 140 can also emit sound alternately to increase the sound frequency or form a specific rhythm, further enhancing the user experience and interactivity.
[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the edge of the turntable 150 is provided with multiple protrusions 151, which are evenly distributed along the edge of the turntable 150. By adopting the above structure, the sound frequency can be increased or a specific rhythm can be formed, further enhancing the user experience and interactivity.
[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, a shaft hole 152 can be provided at the center of the turntable 150. A pivot 160 is fitted into the shaft hole 152, which is fixedly connected to the base plate 120 and rotatably engages with the turntable 150 (shaft hole 152). By adopting the above structure, the rotation of the turntable 150 can be accurately limited, ensuring that it rotates only about a specific axis (the axis of the pivot 160).
[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the printed matter 100 may also include a positioning sticker 170, which is fixedly connected to one end of the pivot 160 near the panel 110. Figure 2 (The upper part of the middle). It should be noted that the size (e.g., diameter) of the limiting sticker 170 is larger than the diameter of the shaft hole 152, thereby effectively restricting the movement of the turntable 150 and preventing it from falling off the pivot 160.
[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the printed material 100 may further include a decorative sticker 180, which is disposed between the panel 110 and the turntable 150, and the edge of the decorative sticker 180 is fixedly connected to the turntable 150. With this structure, the decorative sticker 180 can rotate synchronously with the turntable 150, while preventing interference between the decorative sticker 180 and the limiting sticker 170. Preferably, the surface of the decorative sticker 180 can be printed with preset text and / or patterns. The text and / or patterns on the decorative sticker 180 can echo the text and / or patterns printed on the panel 110, presenting users with a more interesting and interactive visual effect, enhancing the product's appeal and user experience.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, the interlayer 130, panel 110, and base plate 120 are separate structures, and are fixed together by adhesive. In other embodiments, the interlayer 130 and base plate 120 may also be an integral structure.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a rotating sound-generating printed material 100, which eliminates the need for an electronic sound generator, thereby reducing processing costs, simplifying the structure of the printed material 100, and facilitating recycling. Specifically, the turntable 150 can rotate within the mounting hole 131 and actuate the elastic sound-generating element 140 via the protrusion 151, causing the elastic sound-generating element 140 to vibrate and thus produce sound; or the elastic sound-generating element 140 can strike another protrusion 151 during its recovery deformation, thereby producing sound. By setting the number and / or spacing of the protrusions 151, the sound rhythm of the printed material 100 can be made to correspond with the printed pattern of the turntable 150 and the panel 110, significantly improving the user experience and interactivity.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
