Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to an animal ball-balancing toy with flapping wings. Background Technology
[0002] In children's toys, some people design animals balancing balls, but these toys simply fix the colored ball above the animal's mouth. This design therefore lacks technological sophistication, playability, and dynamic aesthetic value. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that fix colored balls above the animal's mouth, which lack technological sophistication, playability, and dynamic aesthetic value. This invention proposes an animal ball-balancing toy with a flapping wing structure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An animal ball-balancing toy with a flapping wing structure includes an animal-shaped shell, a blower at the top of the animal-shaped shell, a ball located at the blower, a pair of hands movably connected to the animal-shaped shell, a flapping wing mechanism between the animal-shaped shell and the hands, and a geared motor driven by a first transmission mechanism. The geared motor can drive the two hands to swing through the flapping wing mechanism. The toy includes a blower that can deliver airflow to the blower.
[0006] The hand is either the animal's forepaw or pectoral fin.
[0007] The flapping wing mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged swinging components. Each swinging component includes a gear. The gear is rotatably connected to the animal shell through a sixth revolute joint. The gear is eccentrically rotatably connected to a first connecting rod through a first revolute joint. The first connecting rod is rotatably connected to a fourth connecting rod through a fifth revolute joint. The middle part of the fourth connecting rod is rotatably connected to the animal shell through a fourth revolute joint. The hand is installed at the end of the fourth connecting rod away from the fifth revolute joint. The two swinging components are connected by gear transmission, and one of the gears is connected to a reduction motor through a first transmission mechanism.
[0008] The swing assembly includes a second link and a third link. One end of the second link is rotatably connected to the first link through a second revolute joint, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link through a seventh revolute joint. The other end of the third link is rotatably connected to the fourth link through a third revolute joint. The first link, second link, third link, and fourth link have a quadrilateral structure.
[0009] The blowing device includes a fan that is capable of blowing air into the air outlet.
[0010] The fan is a blower.
[0011] The animal's outer shell is a dolphin-shaped shell, a seal-shaped shell, or a sea lion-shaped shell.
[0012] The animal shell has a base fixed or integrally formed at the bottom, and the base has a walking mechanism at the bottom. The base contains a battery and a reduction motor, and the walking mechanism is connected to the reduction motor through a second transmission mechanism.
[0013] The angle between the air outlet and the vertical plane is 0°-30°.
[0014] The animal-shaped shell contains a music player.
[0015] The present invention proposes an animal ball-balancing toy with a flapping wing structure. The beneficial effects are as follows: When the device is used, airflow is delivered to the air outlet through a blower, and the airflow causes the ball to suspend above the air outlet. At the same time, the reduction motor drives the two hands to swing through the flapping wing mechanism. For example, the animal shell is designed in the shape of a dolphin, and the dolphin's two pectoral fins swing continuously. Swinging the pectoral fins while blowing the ball can create a more cheerful atmosphere, making it more visually appealing and playable, and more likely to arouse children's interest and desire to explore.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-3An animal ball-balancing toy with a flapping wing structure includes an animal-shaped shell 5, a blower 7 on the top of the animal-shaped shell 5, a ball 8 located at the blower 7, a pair of hands 4 on the animal-shaped shell 5, the hands 4 being movably connected to the animal-shaped shell 5, a flapping wing mechanism 28 between the animal-shaped shell 5 and the hands 4, the flapping wing mechanism 28 being driven by a first transmission mechanism 3 to a geared motor 14, the geared motor 14 being able to drive the two hands 4 to swing through the flapping wing mechanism 28, and the toy including a blower device that can deliver airflow to the blower 7.
[0022] In one implementation, the sphere 8 can be a solid-color sphere or a multicolored sphere.
[0023] When this device is used for play, airflow is delivered to the air outlet 7 through the blower. The airflow causes the ball 8 to suspend above the air outlet 7. At the same time, the reduction motor 14 drives the two hands 4 to swing through the flapping wing mechanism 28. For example, the animal-shaped shell 5 is set in the shape of a dolphin. The dolphin's two pectoral fins swing continuously. While blowing the ball, the two pectoral fins swing, which can better show the joyful atmosphere, making it more visually appealing and playable, and more likely to arouse children's interest and desire to explore.
[0024] It should be noted that the airflow causes the sphere to suspend in the air, which is achieved using principles such as Bernoulli's principle and the Coanda effect.
[0025] In one implementation, the hand 4 is an animal's forepaw or pectoral fin, and the animal shell 5 of this device is a dolphin shell, a seal shell, or a sea lion shell. The forepaw or pectoral fin makes the animal's appearance more realistic and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0026] The flapping wing mechanism 28 includes two symmetrically arranged swinging components. Each swinging component includes a gear 19, which is rotatably connected to the animal shell 5 via a sixth revolute joint 29. The gear 19 is eccentrically connected to the first link 20 via a first revolute joint 18. The first link 20 is rotatably connected to the fourth link 24 via a fifth revolute joint 27. The middle part of the fourth link 24 is rotatably connected to the animal shell 5 via a fourth revolute joint 26. The hand 4 is installed at the end of the fourth link 24 away from the fifth revolute joint 27. For example, a through hole is reserved at the position where the hand 4 is located on the animal shell 5 to allow the fourth link 24 and the hand 4 to move. That is, a strip-shaped through hole is opened on the animal shell 5 according to the trajectory of the hand 4's movement. This through hole leaves appropriate space for the swinging of the hand 4. The gears 19 of the two swinging components are connected by transmission. One of the gears 19 is connected to the geared motor 14 through a first transmission mechanism 3. The first transmission mechanism 3 can be a belt drive, gear drive, etc., as long as it meets the functions required by this application.
[0027] When used for play, the gear 19 is rotated by the reduction motor 14. When the gear rotates around the sixth rotating joint 29, it drives the first connecting rod 20 to move. The first connecting rod 20 drives the fourth connecting rod 24 to rotate around the fourth rotating joint 26. The hand 4 is installed at the end of the fourth connecting rod 24 away from the fifth rotating joint 27, so as to realize the effect of the hand 4 swinging back and forth.
[0028] Furthermore, the swing assembly includes a second link 22 and a third link 23. One end of the second link 22 is rotatably connected to the first link 20 through a second revolute joint 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link 23 through a seventh revolute joint 30. The other end of the third link 23 is rotatably connected to the fourth link 24 through a third revolute joint 25. The first link 20, the second link 22, the third link 23, and the fourth link 24 have a quadrilateral structure.
[0029] The second link 22 and the third link 23 are set to enhance the stability and support strength of the flapping wing mechanism 28 when it swings. Due to its very simple structure, it is particularly suitable for use as a toy, thus reducing costs.
[0030] Of course, there are some existing technologies that can drive the hands to swing back and forth. As long as they can achieve the effect of simulating the back and forth swinging of the hands or pectoral fins of an animal, they are all within the protection scope of the flapping wing mechanism 28 in this application.
[0031] The blowing device includes a fan 6, which can blow air into the air outlet 7; for example, the fan 6 is a blower.
[0032] The animal-shaped shell 5 has a base 1 fixed or integrally formed at the bottom. The base 1 has a walking mechanism at the bottom. The base 1 contains a battery 2 and a reduction motor 14. The walking mechanism is connected to the reduction motor 14 through a second transmission mechanism 16. The second transmission mechanism 16 can be a belt drive, gear drive, etc. in the prior art, as long as it meets the function required by this application.
[0033] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 3 On the base 1 of the animal-shaped shell 5, a reduction motor 14 drives a deflecting drive wheel 15 to move, which in turn drives two driven wheels 17 to make circular motions on the ground. This allows the entire toy to move, so that the toy moves and plays with the ball at the same time, making the dynamic viewing experience better.
[0034] The angle between the air outlet 7 and the vertical plane is 0°-30°. The air outlet 7 can be set vertically or at a slight angle, depending on the actual design requirements.
[0035] The animal-shaped shell 5 has a built-in music player, allowing the toy to walk, blow balls, play music, and more, making it more playable. Of course, it can also be used to play advertisements, for example, in shopping malls.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any technical solution, concept, or design obtained by those skilled in the art by making equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
