Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a dynamic target tire catapult toy. Background Technology

[0002] Track-launching toys are among the most popular toys for children. They use a launch track and mechanism to launch the toy (such as a ball or car) along the track, satisfying children's needs for hands-on experience and exploration. However, most existing track-launching toys only focus on the basic functions of "launching" and "gliding." After being launched, the toy lacks a clear target; it simply flies or falls freely along a fixed trajectory. Children don't need to anticipate or control the timing, making the process monotonous and difficult to maintain their attention. Other products, while having corresponding target positions (such as fixed slots or stationary rings), maintain a fixed position. The toy's spatial posture and location remain unchanged. Children only need to repeat the mechanical launching action to get the toy to the target position, lacking challenge and randomness. Prolonged play can easily lead to boredom, and these toys fail to develop children's reaction time and timing skills. In addition, most existing track-launching toys have an integrated or fixed connection structure, which makes them difficult to assemble and disassemble and has limited functional expandability. It is difficult to diversify the ways of playing through structural adjustments, which further limits the user experience and applicable scenarios of the toys.

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0052] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0053] See Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, this application provides a dynamic target tire catapult toy, including: a launching assembly 1, a tire component 2, a rotary drive mechanism 3, and a fire ring component 4. The launching assembly 1 includes a launching track 11 and a catapult mechanism 12 disposed at one end of the launching track 11. The catapult mechanism 12 is a conventional structure that has been fully disclosed in the prior art, and its specific composition and working principle are well known to those skilled in the art, so this application will not describe it in detail. The tire component 2 includes a first tire shell 21 and a second tire shell 22, which are detachably connected. The first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22 can be fastened together or opened and separated. The launching track 11 is disposed on the first tire shell 21. Through the detachable connection between the first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22, flexible switching between "fastening for storage" and "unfolding for use" is achieved. In its snap-fit ​​state, the toy has a compact and neat structure, significantly reducing its space occupation and making it easy to carry or store in backpacks, storage boxes, etc., while also preventing parts from being scattered and lost. In its unfolded state, it can be quickly unfolded and assembled into its usable form without the need for additional assembly tools, making operation simple and convenient. This improves the toy's portability and storage practicality, allowing children to easily start playing anytime, anywhere, balancing user experience and storage convenience. The rotary drive mechanism 3 is located on the shell of the second tire 22, and has an output shaft 31 extending along the centerline of the shell of the second tire 22. The fire ring component 4 is connected to the output shaft 31, and the fire ring component 4 surrounds and forms a passage 41. The fire ring component 4 is located at the other end of the launching track 11, and the rotary drive mechanism 3 can drive the fire ring component 4 to rotate. The dynamic target tire catapult toy of this application provides a dynamic target for the toy body 221 by setting a rotatable fire ring component 4. This breaks the limitations of existing products that have no target or a fixed target, increases the challenge and randomness of play, effectively trains children's reaction ability and timing control ability, and enhances interactive fun. At the same time, the detachable connection between the first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22 not only facilitates disassembly, assembly, storage, and transportation, but also avoids the loss of scattered parts, optimizing the user experience and applicable scenarios of the toy.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a slot 2221 is provided at the center of the second tire 22 shell. The rotary drive mechanism 3 is disposed inside the second tire 22 shell, and the output shaft 31 of the rotary drive mechanism 3 extends into the slot 2221. The rim 4 has a pin 42. When the pin 42 is inserted into the slot 2221, the output shaft 31 and the pin 42 are in a transmission engagement. The insertion engagement of the pin 42 and the slot 2221 ensures precise transmission connection between the output shaft 31 and the pin 42, which not only ensures stable power transmission but also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the rim 4. Furthermore, the structure is simple and assembly is convenient.

[0055] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second tire 22 shell includes a main body 221 and a hub cap 222. The main body 221 has a mounting cavity, and the hub cap 222 has a slot 2221 that communicates with the mounting cavity. The hub cap 222 covers one side of the main body 221 along its thickness direction and covers the mounting cavity. The hub cap 222 is detachably connected to the main body 221. The rotary drive mechanism 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the output shaft 31 extends from the mounting cavity into the slot 2221. The detachable connection between the second tire 22 shell and the hub cap 222 facilitates the rapid assembly and maintenance of the rotary drive mechanism 3 within the mounting cavity. Simultaneously, the slot 2221 on the hub cap 222, communicating with the mounting cavity, ensures the stable extension of the output shaft 31 and precise transmission engagement with the rim component 4. The structure is rationally laid out and easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0056] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a main housing 32 and a drive assembly (not shown). Both the drive assembly and the output shaft 31 are mounted on the main housing 32, and the drive assembly and output shaft 31 are in a transmission engagement. The main housing 32 is embedded in the mounting cavity. A mating hole 2221a is provided on the bottom wall of the slot 2221 on the hub cover 222. The output shaft 31 extends into the slot 2221 through the mating hole 2221a. The drive assembly and the output shaft 31 are mounted on the main housing 32, forming an independent integrated module, which is then embedded and fixed in the mounting cavity. This ensures reliable installation and positioning, convenient and efficient assembly, and also provides protection for the drive assembly, preventing loosening or displacement during operation. The mating hole 2221a provides limiting support for the output shaft 31, ensuring precise alignment and transmission between the output shaft 31 and the ring component 4, reducing transmission deviation and wear, resulting in smoother and more stable power transmission. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, facilitating assembly and subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0057] The drive assembly can be a motor and a gear train, with the motor and gear train engaging in a transmission. The output shaft 31 is connected to the output end of the gear train. The motor provides power and drives the gear train to rotate. Through a multi-stage gear train, the power is reduced and increased in torque, resulting in a smooth and synchronous rotation of the output shaft 31, ultimately driving the fire ring component 4 to rotate. Alternatively, the drive assembly can be a spring-loaded mechanism connected to a rotating component. The spring-loaded mechanism contains a gear set and a coil spring. The gear set engages with the output shaft 31, and the coil spring is located within the spring-loaded mechanism. Manual rotation winds the rotating component, causing the coil spring to elastically deform and store elastic potential energy. After storage, the coil spring slowly rebounds, releasing energy and engaging the internal gear set to drive the output shaft 31 to rotate, ultimately rotating the fire ring component 4. All spring-loaded mechanisms are mature existing technologies in the toy technology field, widely disclosed, and not the subject of this application. Therefore, their structures and principles will not be elaborated upon here.

[0058] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the output shaft 31 includes a shaft body 311 and a synchronization post 312 located at the end of the shaft body 311. The synchronization post 312 passes through the mating hole 2221a and is partially located within the slot 2221. The end of the insertion post 42 is provided with a synchronization groove 421. When the insertion post 42 is inserted into the slot 2221, the synchronization post 312 is inserted into the synchronization groove 421. The insertion and engagement of the synchronization post 312 and the synchronization groove 421 achieves circumferential limiting transmission, which can effectively prevent slippage and free rotation during transmission, making power transmission more synchronized and stable. At the same time, this insertion structure is simple and reliable, easy to disassemble and assemble, and has precise assembly alignment, which can improve the rotation uniformity of the fire ring component 4 and extend the overall service life of the dynamic target tire catapult toy of this application.

[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the synchronizing column 312 includes a cylindrical section 3121 and a prism section 3122. The cylindrical section 3121 is rotatably accommodated within the mating hole 2221a, and the prism section 3122 is located within the slot 2221. The shape of the synchronizing groove 421 matches that of the prism section 3122. The cylindrical section 3121 provides radial limiting and rotational guidance for the output shaft 31, reducing friction and ensuring smooth rotation. The prism section 3122 provides circumferential anti-rotation limiting, effectively preventing transmission slippage and misalignment, making power transmission more synchronous and reliable, ensuring the uniform and stable rotation of the fire ring component 4. The overall structure is simple and compact, with good transmission stability.

[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a sleeve 2221b is provided on the outer side of the bottom wall of the slot 2221. The sleeve 2221b encloses and forms a cylindrical cavity, which communicates with the mating hole 2221a. The sleeve 2221b extends into the mounting cavity and abuts against the main housing 32 of the rotary drive mechanism 3, making the overall structure more secure and supportive. The sleeve 2221b is fitted onto the outer side of the output shaft 31, and the cylindrical section 3121 fits against the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity of the sleeve 2221b, which can provide omnidirectional radial positioning and rotational guidance for the output shaft 31, effectively reducing the shaking, eccentricity, and frictional wear of the shaft 311, and making the rotation smoother and more stable. At the same time, the sleeve 2221b communicates with the mating hole 2221a to form a regular through channel, improving the coaxiality of the assembly, further ensuring the accuracy of power transmission, and providing a compact structure with better protection.

[0061] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second tire shell 22 is provided with multiple hinge ears 223, and each hinge ear 223 is provided with a retaining plate 2231. When the first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22 are engaged, the hinge ears 223 can be engaged with the first tire shell 21 by the retaining plate 2231. This structure does not require additional screws or other fasteners, making assembly simple and convenient, and disassembly easy. At the same time, the engaging structure provides a firm connection, effectively preventing the two tire shells from loosening and cracking during use, improving the overall assembly strength and structural stability. The overall structure is simple and compact, which is conducive to the overall assembly and production of toys.

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first tire shell 21 includes a convex shell body 211 and an end ring 212 located at the opening edge of the convex shell body 211. A stepped groove 213 is formed between the end ring 212 and the convex shell body 211. The hinge ear 223 can be engaged with the stepped groove 213 by a retaining plate 2231. The stepped groove 213 allows the retaining plate 2231 on the hinge ear 223 to be precisely engaged and limited, ensuring a stable and reliable engagement position and good limiting effect. This not only enables the first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22 to be quickly aligned and fixed, preventing the shells from loosening, misaligning, or detaching on their own, but also improves the overall sealing and structural strength after engagement. The assembly is simple and efficient, the structure is compact and reasonable, and it is suitable for mass assembly and use in toys.

[0063] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a handle 224 is connected to the peripheral end face of the second tire shell 22. After the first tire shell 21 and the second tire shell 22 are fastened and assembled, the toy can be directly grasped and pulled by the handle 224, making it convenient and labor-saving to pick up and carry. The structure is simple and practical, effectively improving the overall ease of use.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the application to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
