Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of music box technology, and in particular to a novel music box. Background Technology
[0002] A music box is a device that can automatically play music. It has a long history and a unique development process. Today, its main structure remains the same, and only its outer packaging box has changed. Although its appearance has changed, the main function of this music box is still to produce music through the internal comb. There is no structure with more commemorative or interesting significance to enhance its practical value. Therefore, the function of this music box has always been too monotonous. To address this, we propose a new type of music box. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a novel music box that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A novel music box includes a music box body with rotating through holes on both sides. A photo flipping structure is rotatably installed in the rotating through holes. A lighting effect structure is installed inside the music box body. A music box comb is also installed inside the music box body. A spring is installed inside the music box body near the port.
[0006] Preferably, the photo flipping structure includes a central rotating shaft that movably passes through a rotating hole, a limiting ring fixedly installed on the central rotating shaft for limiting, an insertion rotating hole opened on the limiting ring, a photo rotating shaft that is movably inserted between two of the insertion rotating holes, an acrylic plate installed on the photo rotating shaft for pasting photos, and a crank handle connected to one end of the central rotating shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating shaft is manually rotated in the rotating through hole by a crank handle.
[0008] Preferably, the lighting structure includes a microwave radar induction switch module for control installed at the bottom of the music box body, a lithium battery for power storage, an ambient light strip installed at the port of the music box body, and a charging port installed at the bottom of the music box body.
[0009] Preferably, the lithium battery controls the opening and closing of the ambient light strip by connecting to the microwave radar sensor switch module, and the lithium battery is connected to an external power converter through a charging port for charging via the power converter to the mains power.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom tension rod of the music box comb extends out of the outer shell of the music box and is connected to a tension knob.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] In this invention, the novel music box breaks with traditional structures. Printed photos are pasted onto an acrylic plate with a photo flipping structure. These photos can be rotated and viewed in turn using a crank. During viewing, when the microwave radar sensor switch module senses the rotation of the photo flipping structure or external movement, the ambient light strip is illuminated, shining onto the photos to enhance the atmosphere. This makes it more interesting and has greater commemorative value, and also facilitates later viewing of photos related to the souvenir. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a new type of music box includes a music box body 1, rotating through holes 2 on both sides of the music box body 1, a photo flipping structure 3 rotating in the rotating through holes 2, a lighting effect structure 4 installed inside the music box body 1, a music box comb 5 installed inside the music box body 1, and a spring piece 6 installed inside the music box body 1 near the port.
[0020] The photo flipping structure 3 includes a central shaft 31 that moves through the rotating through hole 2, a limiting ring 32 that is fixedly installed on the central shaft 31 and serves as a limit, an insertion rotating hole 33 opened on the limiting ring 32, a photo rotating shaft 34 that is movably inserted between the two insertion rotating holes 33, an acrylic plate 35 installed on the photo rotating shaft 34 for pasting photos, and a crank 36 connected to one end of the central shaft 31.
[0021] Specifically, two limiting rings 32 are fixedly installed on the arc surface of the central rotating shaft 31 near both ends to prevent the central rotating shaft 31 from being pulled out of the rotating through hole 2, allowing it to rotate only within the rotating through hole 2. By rotating the crank 36 counterclockwise, the central rotating shaft 31 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting rings 32 to rotate. The photo rotating shaft 34, which is movably installed in the insertion rotating hole 33 of the limiting rings 32, is also driven. During the counterclockwise rotation, because an acrylic plate 35 is installed on the photo rotating shaft 34 and the photo is attached to the acrylic plate 35, when the acrylic plate 35 rotates to below the spring piece 6 and continues to rotate, it will be blocked by the spring piece 6, causing the spring piece 6 to deform to a certain extent. When the spring piece 6 deforms to a certain extent, the acrylic plate 35 can be released from the obstruction of the spring piece 6. At this time, the force accumulated on the acrylic plate 35 before this allows the acrylic plate 35 to continue to flip forward, so that the next photo can be viewed.
[0022] The central shaft 31 rotates in the rotating through hole 2 by manual cranking via the handle 36;
[0023] Specifically, the central shaft 31 is movably inserted through the rotating through hole 2 and rotates, with one end of the central shaft 31 extending outward and connected to the rocker handle 36, which is used to apply force to the central shaft 31.
[0024] The lighting structure 4 includes a microwave radar induction switch module 41 installed at the bottom inside the music box 1 for control, a lithium battery 42 for power storage, an ambient light strip 43 installed at the port inside the music box 1, and a charging hole 44 installed at the bottom of the music box 1.
[0025] Specifically, the microwave radar sensing switch module 41 detects the movement of objects within its range. When the movement is detected, the switch is turned on, allowing the lithium battery 42 to power the ambient light strip 43. Therefore, when the structure on the photo flipping structure 3 moves, it can be detected, and the ambient light strip 43 can be turned on to illuminate the photos. When the microwave radar sensing switch module 41 no longer detects the movement of objects, the power supply to the ambient light strip 43 is automatically disconnected after fifteen seconds.
[0026] The lithium battery 42 controls the opening and closing of the ambient light strip 43 by connecting to the microwave radar sensor switch module 41. The lithium battery 42 is connected to an external power converter through the charging port 44 and is charged by connecting to the mains power.
[0027] Specifically, the lithium battery 42 is connected to the mains power through an external dedicated charger. The voltage is converted and then supplied to the lithium battery 42 for storage. The electricity stored in the lithium battery 42 is then supplied to the ambient light strip 43 to convert electrical energy into light energy to create an atmosphere. During this process, the conversion is controlled by the microwave radar induction switch module 41.
[0028] The bottom tension rod of the music box comb 5 extends out of the outer shell of the music box body 1 and is connected to the tension knob 51;
[0029] Specifically, the tension knob 51 tensions the sound box comb 5, causing the sound box comb 5 to convert mechanical kinetic energy into sound energy and other forms of energy.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is a novel music box. Before use, printed photos need to be pasted one by one onto eight acrylic plates 35. Then, the tension knob 51 is tightened to wind the music box comb 5, so that the music box comb 5 converts mechanical kinetic energy into sound energy to produce music. At the same time, the user holds the music box body 1 and turns the rocker handle 36 counterclockwise with the other hand, causing the central rotating shaft 31 to rotate. The central rotating shaft 31 drives the limiting ring 32 to rotate, thereby causing the photo rotating shaft 34, which is inserted into the insertion rotating hole 33, to rotate around the central axis of the central rotating shaft 31. Since the photo rotating shaft 34 is rotatably set in the insertion rotating hole 33, the acrylic plate 35 can not only rotate along the central rotating shaft 31, but also be flipped back and forth at a certain angle through the photo rotating shaft 34. When the acrylic plate 35 rotates... When the photo continues to rotate below the spring 6, it will be blocked by the spring 6, causing the spring 6 to deform to a certain extent. When the spring 6 deforms to a certain extent, the acrylic plate 35 can break free from the obstruction of the spring 6. At this time, the force accumulated on the acrylic plate 35 before can make the acrylic plate 35 continue to flip forward, so that the next photo can be viewed. During the photo rotation, the microwave radar sensing switch module 41 detects the movement of objects within its range. When the movement of an object is detected, the switch will be turned on, so that the lithium battery 42 supplies power to the ambient light strip 43. Therefore, when the structure on the photo flipping structure 3 moves, it can be detected, and then the ambient light strip 43 can be turned on to illuminate the photo with ambient light. When the microwave radar sensing switch module 41 no longer detects the movement of an object, the power supply to the ambient light strip 43 will be automatically disconnected after fifteen seconds.
