Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to an early childhood education toy with a puzzle-building function. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, early childhood education toys that combine fun and intellectual stimulation are increasingly favored by parents and the market. Among them, toys with interlocking functions have become an important category because they can develop children's spatial imagination, creativity, and hand-eye coordination.

[0003] To ensure precise and stable connections between the interlocking components, resulting in a stable structure, the various parts of these toys are typically made of rigid materials such as hard plastic or wood. While this material choice guarantees the toy's interlocking functionality and structural stability, it also introduces an inherent problem.

[0004] Because children inevitably drop, collide with, or throw toys during use, toys made of rigid materials lack effective cushioning mechanisms when they impact the ground or hard objects. The impact force acts directly on the toy itself, easily causing damage to the toy's connecting structures, cracking of components, or even breakage. This not only greatly shortens the toy's lifespan but also affects the child's continued user experience.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an early childhood education toy with a puzzle-building function to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5One embodiment of this utility model provides: the children's early education toy with interlocking function includes an interlocking toy body, including a first groove 7, a fixing rod 105, a second groove 103, a telescopic rod 102, a spring 106, a soft pad 101, and a limiting block 104. The first groove 7 is formed at the bottom edge of the toy body, the fixing rod 105 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove 7, and a sliding cavity is provided inside the fixing rod 105. The second groove 103 is formed at the exposed end of the fixing rod 105, and the telescopic rod 102 is slidably disposed on the fixing rod 105. The spring 106 is housed in the sliding cavity of the fixed rod 105 and extends outward through the second groove 103. The spring 106 elastically abuts against the inner end of the telescopic rod 102. The soft pad 101 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the telescopic rod 102. The limiting block 104 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 102 and slides against the inner wall of the second groove 103. With the cooperation of the above structures, when the soft pad 101 is impacted, it can drive the telescopic rod 102 to slide in the sliding cavity and compress the spring 106, thereby absorbing the impact energy.

[0030] The second side 3 is provided with a mushroom head protrusion 5. An elastic plate is provided inside the mushroom head protrusion 5. The structure of the elastic plate allows the mushroom head protrusion 5 to return to its original position after being deformed by pressure. The interior of the first side 2 is provided with multiple shaped holes for children to play shape recognition and matching games.

[0031] A handle 8 is rotatably mounted on the third surface 4, and the handle 8 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first gear 9. A second gear 10 that meshes with the first gear 9 is also rotatably mounted on the third surface 4. At the same time, the third gear 11 and the fourth gear 12 that are rotatably mounted on the third surface 4 mesh with the second gear 10. Through this gear transmission structure, rotating the handle 8 can realize the linkage rotation of multiple gears. In addition, in order to protect the linkage structure and allow the user to observe it, a glass cover 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third surface 4. The glass cover 14 covers the first gear 9 and the gear that meshes with the first gear 9.

[0032] To enhance protection against bumps and knocks for children, a soft corner protector 6 is fixedly connected at the top corner. To enable shape recognition, multiple shape holes are provided inside the first surface 2. A mushroom-shaped protrusion 5 is provided on the second surface 3, and an elastic plate is provided inside the mushroom-shaped protrusion 5. After the mushroom-shaped protrusion 5 is deformed by pressure, the elastic plate drives the mushroom-shaped protrusion 5 to return to its original position. A rotating handle 8 is rotatably provided on the third surface 4, and the rotating handle 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first gear 9. A second gear 10 that meshes with the first gear 9 is also rotatably provided on the third surface 4, and a third gear 11 and a fourth gear 12 that mesh with the second gear 10 are also rotatably provided on the third surface 4. To protect children's fingers and provide an observation window, a glass cover 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third surface 4, and the glass cover 14 covers the first gear 9, the second gear 10, the third gear 11 and the fourth gear 12.

[0033] Working principle: When the toy body falls accidentally, the soft pad 101 of the protective component 1 first contacts the ground. The impact force is transmitted to the telescopic rod 102 through the soft pad 101, driving the telescopic rod 102 to slide inward along the sliding cavity inside the fixed rod 105. During this process, the inner end of the telescopic rod 102 will squeeze the spring 106. The compression deformation of the spring 106 absorbs most of the impact energy, thereby playing a role in buffering and shock absorption. The limiting block 104 set on the telescopic rod 102 slides on the inner wall of the second groove 103, ensuring the stable and smooth reciprocating movement of the telescopic rod 102.

[0034] When using the third side 4, the user turns the handle 8. Since the handle 8 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first gear 9, the first gear 9 rotates synchronously. Since the first gear 9 meshes with the second gear 10, and the second gear 10 meshes with the third gear 11 and the fourth gear 12, the rotation of the first gear 9 will sequentially drive the second gear 10, the third gear 11 and the fourth gear 12 to rotate in a linked manner. The entire transmission process is carried out under the protection of the glass cover 14.

[0035] When using the second side 3, the user presses the mushroom head protrusion 5, which deforms under pressure. The elastic plate inside stores energy. When the pressure is released, the elastic plate releases the stored energy, driving the mushroom head protrusion 5 to spring back to its initial position. When using the first side 2, the child needs to match a block of a specific shape with the shape hole opened inside the first side 2 to complete the shape recognition operation.
