Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toy transmission mechanism, specifically relating to a transmission component for a competitive toy and a competitive toy. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the times and technology, higher demands are being placed on the interactivity, fun, and social aspects of traditional toys. Competitive toys are a very popular type of toy. They are played by two or more players, with the goal of triggering a specific event as the condition for winning the game. This creates a competition and rivalry among the players, making them perfect for friends to play together at gatherings.
[0003] The most common traditional competitive toys include toy race cars and remote-controlled battle robots, but these toys require a certain space and are not convenient to play anytime, anywhere. Chinese utility model patent application number 201920158601.3 discloses a rotating battle toy, including a rotating disc, a drive mechanism, and a rotating body. The drive mechanism drives the rotating disc to rotate the rotating body. This rotating battle toy uses a drive handle to rotate the disc, and during the rotation, the rotating body on it swings, causing the two rotating bodies on either side to collide with each other until one rotating body detaches from the other side, at which point the other side wins. While this rotating battle toy is quite fun, its structure has a narrow range of applications, and the toy's large size makes it inconvenient to carry, thus causing inconvenience for players. Utility Model Content
[0004] The first objective of this utility model is to provide a transmission component for competitive toys, which enables the motion mechanism to move in different directions through the transmission of the operating mechanisms on the left and right sides, and triggers an event after the movement reaches a certain extent, thereby realizing competitive competition between players.
[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a competitive toy that includes a transmission component for competitive toys.
[0006] The first objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A transmission assembly for a competitive toy includes a left operating mechanism, a left transmission mechanism, a right operating mechanism, a right transmission mechanism, a triggering mechanism, and a motion mechanism. The motion mechanism is disposed between the left and right transmission mechanisms. The motion mechanism includes a main gear. The left and right operating mechanisms drive the main gear to rotate in different directions through the left and right transmission mechanisms, respectively, thereby driving the motion mechanism to move in different directions.
[0008] The left and right transmission mechanisms are in contact with or separated from the triggering mechanism. A triggering mechanism is provided between the left and right operating mechanisms and the motion mechanism. As the motion mechanism continues to move, the left or right operating mechanism moves relative to the triggering mechanism under the action of the triggering mechanism, causing the left or right operating mechanism to contact or separate from the triggering mechanism.
[0009] This design of the competitive toy's transmission assembly uses a left and right operating mechanism to move the motion mechanism in different directions, enabling a competition between two players. Initially, the left and right transmission mechanisms are separate from the trigger mechanism; operating either mechanism will not activate the trigger. Only when one player consistently leads the other, causing the motion mechanism to move in a specific direction to a certain extent, will the trigger mechanism cause relative movement and contact between the transmission mechanism and the trigger mechanism on the leading player's side. When that player then operates the mechanism again, it will activate the trigger mechanism, triggering a specific event and determining the winner of the game.
[0010] This design of the transmission component for competitive toys is simple in structure, compact in size, easy to carry, and has a wide range of applications. It can be installed on competitive toys of different shapes according to actual needs, and can be configured with a variety of different motion mechanisms and triggering mechanisms to enhance the fun of the toys.
[0011] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the left transmission mechanism includes a left push rod and a left one-way ratchet. The proximal end of the left push rod is connected to the left operating mechanism and can move to the distal end under the action of the left operating mechanism. A reset mechanism is provided on the left push rod to reset the left push rod to the proximal end. A pawl is provided on the left push rod. The left one-way ratchet is a double-layer ratchet, with the lower layer of ratchet teeth meshing with the pawl of the left push rod and the upper layer of teeth meshing with the main gear.
[0012] The right transmission mechanism includes a right push rod and a right one-way ratchet. The proximal end of the right push rod is connected to the right operating mechanism and can move to the distal end under the action of the right operating mechanism. The right push rod is provided with a reset mechanism to reset the right push rod to the proximal end. The right push rod is provided with a pawl. The right one-way ratchet is a double-layer ratchet. The lower layer of ratchet teeth meshes with the pawl of the right push rod, and the upper layer of teeth meshes with the main gear.
[0013] This design of the transmission assembly in the racing toy allows for the following: when the left operating mechanism pushes the left push rod to move further, the pawl on the left push rod actuates the left one-way ratchet to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the main gear to rotate counterclockwise; when the right operating mechanism pushes the right push rod to move further, the pawl on the right push rod actuates the right one-way ratchet to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the main gear to rotate clockwise. This achieves the effect of driving the motion mechanism in different directions.
[0014] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the triggering mechanism includes a lever component that is fixedly installed on the motion mechanism and protrudes and moves synchronously with the main gear; the bottom of the left push rod and the right push rod are provided with inclined surfaces; the triggering mechanism is located at the far end of the left push rod and the right push rod and is higher than the far end of the left push rod and the right push rod.
[0015] The transmission assembly of this competitive toy is designed so that when the lever component rotates with the main gear and contacts the bottom of the left or right push rod, the inclined surface at the bottom of the lever causes the distal end of the left or right push rod to tilt upward, so that the distal end of the left or right push rod reaches the same height as the triggering mechanism and makes contact. Then, when the left or right push rod moves to its distal end again, the triggering device is activated.
[0016] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the reset mechanism is a reset spring, which allows the left push rod and the right push rod to move back and forth.
[0017] The second objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0018] A competitive toy, comprising the aforementioned competitive toy transmission assembly.
[0019] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the competitive toy includes a base, the left operating mechanism and the right operating mechanism are respectively disposed at both ends of the base, and the motion mechanism is disposed in the middle of the base.
[0020] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the motion mechanism includes a main body, which contains a first bevel tooth that is coaxial with and rotates synchronously with the main gear; the main body also includes a main shaft, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a second bevel tooth that meshes with the first bevel tooth; the other end of the main shaft is fixedly mounted with a single-oriented terminal piece, which is connected to the triggering mechanism.
[0021] In this type of competitive toy, the rotation of the main gear synchronously drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear and the main shaft to rotate. The terminal component of the main shaft, which is unidirectional, rotates synchronously and changes its orientation. By setting different terminals, during gameplay, one player can continuously operate the terminal component to gradually change its orientation to that of the other player, eventually triggering a specific "penalty mechanism" to determine the winner between the two players.
[0022] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the terminal component includes a nozzle, the triggering mechanism includes a water pump, and the terminal component is connected to the triggering mechanism via a flexible hose. This design allows the water pump to deliver water through the hose to the nozzle of the terminal component when the toy is triggered (either the left or right push rod), and then spray water towards the losing player through the nozzle.
[0023] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the main body further includes a left foot assembly and a right foot assembly, which are rotatable relative to each other around the main shaft; the terminal component is provided with a lever, and the left foot assembly and the right foot assembly are respectively provided with baffles, with the lever positioned between the two baffles.
[0024] In this type of competitive toy, when the terminal component rotates as the game progresses, the lever will move the stop plate, causing the left or right foot component to rotate synchronously, thus mimicking the action of an animal lifting its leg, increasing the visual effect and fun.
[0025] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, a reset device is provided between the left foot component and the right foot component so that the left foot component or the right foot component can be restored to its initial position after rotation.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. This utility model has a simple structure, stable function, and small size, making it easy to carry, effectively reducing the cost of toy products and improving market competitiveness.
[0028] 2. The transmission component for competitive toys described in this utility model has a wide range of applications. It can be installed on competitive toys of different shapes according to actual needs, and can be configured with a variety of different motion mechanisms and triggering mechanisms to enhance the fun of the toys.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments. Example
[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the transmission assembly of the racing toy includes a main gear 1, a left transmission mechanism 2, a right transmission mechanism 3, and a triggering device 4. The left transmission mechanism 2 includes a left one-way ratchet 21 and a left push rod 201. The proximal end of the left push rod 201 is connected to a left control button 22. A left return spring 202 is provided on the left push rod 201, causing the left push rod 201 to move distally when pressed by the left control button 22 and return to its original position under the action of the left return spring 202, thus realizing the back-and-forth movement of the left push rod 201. A pawl is provided on the body of the left push rod 201.
[0041] The left one-way ratchet 21 is a double-layer ratchet. The lower ratchet teeth mesh with the pawl of the left push rod 201, and the upper ratchet teeth mesh with the main gear 1. Thus, when the left operation button 22 is pressed to push the left push rod 201 to move to the distal end, the pawl on the left push rod 201 causes the left one-way ratchet to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the main gear 1 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0042] The right transmission mechanism 3 includes a right one-way ratchet 31 and a right push rod 301. The proximal end of the right push rod 301 is connected to a right control button 32. A right return spring 302 is provided on the right push rod 301, so that the right push rod 301 moves to the distal end when pressed by the right control button 32, and returns to its original position under the action of the right return spring 302, thereby realizing the back-and-forth movement of the right push rod 301. The rod body of the right push rod 301 is provided with a pawl.
[0043] The right one-way ratchet 31 is a double-layer ratchet. The lower ratchet teeth mesh with the pawl of the right push rod 301, and the upper ratchet teeth mesh with the main gear 1. Thus, when the right control button 32 is pressed to push the right push rod 301 to move to the distal end, the pawl on the right push rod 301 causes the right one-way ratchet to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the main gear 1 to rotate clockwise.
[0044] The triggering device 4 is located at the distal end of the left push rod 201 and the right push rod 301, and is higher than the horizontal plane where the distal ends of the left push rod 201 and the right push rod 301 are located. The main gear 1 is fixedly provided with an outwardly protruding paddle 11. The bottom of the left push rod 201 and the right push rod 301 are provided with inclined surfaces, so that when the paddle 11 rotates with the main gear 1 and contacts the bottom of the left push rod 201 or the right push rod 301, the distal end of the left push rod 201 or the right push rod 301 is tilted upward by the inclined surface, so that when the left push rod 201 or the right push rod 301 moves to the distal end again, the triggering device 4 is triggered.
[0045] The transmission assembly of this competitive toy, when pressed, allows the main gear 1 to rotate in different directions. The paddle 11 rotates with the main gear 1, and when the main gear 1 rotates counterclockwise to a certain angle, the paddle 11 contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the left push rod 201, thereby lifting the distal end of the left push rod 201 upward and contacting the trigger device 4. Pressing the left operation button 22 to move the left push rod 201 to its distal end triggers the trigger device 4. Similarly, when the main gear 1 rotates clockwise to a certain angle, the paddle 11 contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the right push rod 301, thereby lifting the distal end of the right push rod 301 upward and contacting the trigger device 4. Pressing the right operation button 32 to move the right push rod 301 to its distal end triggers the trigger device 4.
[0046] This allows players to compete by pressing the left operation button 22 and the right operation button 32 faster. Only the player who presses the button faster can rotate the main gear 1 to a specific angle and complete the aforementioned triggering process. The player who successfully triggers the triggering device 4 wins. Example
[0047] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the competitive toy includes a base 5, which is formed by an upper base cover 51 and a lower base cover 52 joined together. The transmission assembly of the competitive toy described in Embodiment 1 is installed in the base 5. Left operation button 22 and right operation button 32 are respectively located at both ends of the base 5, and the triggering mechanism 4 is a water pump assembly 41 installed in the base 5.
[0048] A water spray assembly 6 is mounted on top of the base 5, including a head component 61, a left outer shell component 62, a right outer shell component 63, a left foot component 64, a right foot component 65, and a nozzle component 66. The left and right outer shell components 62 and 63, when closed together, form the main body of the water spray assembly 6. The main body contains a first bevel gear 601 coaxially fixedly connected to the main gear 1; a second bevel gear 602 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 60 and meshes with the first bevel gear 601 in the same direction. The head component 61 is located at the proximal end of the water spray assembly 6 and is fixedly connected to the main shaft 60. The left foot component 64, right foot component 65, and nozzle component 66 are sequentially located at the distal end of the water spray assembly 6. The left and right foot components are fitted onto the main shaft 60 and can rotate relative to each other around the main shaft 60. The nozzle component 66 is coaxially fixedly connected to the main shaft 60, thereby changing the orientation of the nozzle as the main shaft 60 rotates. The nozzle component 66 contains a nozzle, and a hose 604 connects the water pump assembly 41 to the nozzle component 66.
[0049] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the left foot assembly 64 and the right foot assembly 65 are each equipped with an upright baffle. The nozzle assembly 66 is fitted with a lever positioned between the two baffles. When the nozzle assembly 66 rotates clockwise with the main shaft 60, the lever actuates the baffles, causing the left foot assembly 64 to rotate clockwise synchronously, thus lifting the left foot component on the left foot assembly 64. Conversely, when the nozzle assembly 66 rotates counterclockwise with the main shaft 60, the lever actuates the baffles, causing the right foot assembly 65 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously, thus lifting the right foot component on the right foot assembly 65. This mimics the movement of an animal raising its left and right feet, increasing the toy's appeal. A spring 603 is also connected between the left foot assembly 64 and the right foot assembly 65 to allow either the left foot assembly 64 or the right foot assembly 65 to return to its original position after rotation.
[0050] In this design, the rotation of the main gear 1 synchronously drives the first bevel gear 601 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 602 and the main shaft 60 to rotate. The main shaft 60 drives the head component 61, the nozzle component 66, the left foot component 64 / right foot component 65 to rotate synchronously, and changes the orientation of the nozzle on the nozzle component 66.
[0051] During gameplay, two players press the left operation button 22 and the right operation button 32 respectively. When the player pressing the left operation button 22 presses it faster, the main gear 1 gradually rotates counterclockwise. The first bevel gear 601 rotates counterclockwise in sync, driving the second bevel gear 602 and the main shaft 60 to rotate counterclockwise. The nozzle component 66 moves the right foot component 65 to rotate counterclockwise in sync, raising the right foot component. The nozzle gradually turns towards the opponent as the nozzle component 66 rotates counterclockwise. When the player presses the left operation button 22 repeatedly, causing the main gear 1 to rotate counterclockwise until the nozzle is fully facing the opponent, the paddle 11 also contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the left push rod 201, causing the distal end of the left push rod 201 to rise and contact the distal end of the left push rod 201 with the water pump assembly 41. When the player presses the left operation button 22 again, the left push rod 201 presses the water pump assembly 41, and the water pump assembly 41 squeezes water through the hose 604 to the nozzle component 66, and sprays water towards the opponent through the nozzle.
[0052] Similarly, when a player presses the right operation button 32 faster, the main gear 1 gradually rotates clockwise. The first bevel gear 601 rotates clockwise simultaneously, driving the second bevel gear 602 and the main shaft 60 to rotate clockwise. The nozzle component 66 moves the left foot component 64 to rotate clockwise and lifts the left foot component. The nozzle's orientation gradually turns towards the opponent as the nozzle component 66 rotates clockwise. When the player continuously presses the right operation button 32, causing the main gear 1 to rotate clockwise until the nozzle is fully facing the opponent, the lever 11 also contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the right push rod 301, causing the distal end of the right push rod 301 to lift upward and contact the water pump component 41. When the player presses the right operation button 32 again, the right push rod 301 presses the water pump component 41. The water pump component 41 squeezes water through the hose 604 to the nozzle component 66 and sprays water towards the opponent through the nozzle.
[0053] This competitive toy is designed so that players compete to see who can press the control buttons the fastest, causing the nozzle to point at the opponent and ultimately punishing the opponent by spraying water, thus enhancing the toy's competitiveness and fun.
[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely further illustrations of the present utility model, and not limitations. Any adjustments or changes made by those skilled in the art within the equivalent meaning and scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be considered as included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
