[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A portable spinning top toy includes a launcher and a spinning top body 5. The launcher includes a launcher base 1, a top cover 2, a drive mechanism 4, and a launching mechanism. The drive mechanism 4 and the launching mechanism are disposed within the launcher base 1. The drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the spinning top body to rotate, and the launching mechanism is used to launch the rotating spinning top body 5. The top cover 2 is hinged to the launcher base 1. The launcher base 1 is provided with a male latching end 12, and the top cover 2 is provided with a female latching end 21 that matches the male latching end 12. When the gyroscope body 5 is placed on the launching mechanism, the top cover 2 can cover the launcher base 1 and the male end 12 of the buckle can be inserted into the female end 21 of the buckle, thereby covering the gyroscope body 5 on the launcher base 1. The gyroscope is not visible from the outside, and people cannot immediately tell that this is a gyroscope toy, which can bring a sense of novelty. The launcher base 1 is provided with a clip 3 on the side away from the top cover 2, which can be clipped to a pocket or waistband for easy carrying by children. The top cover 2 connected by the buckle can also protect the internal gyroscope body 5 and prevent it from falling.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 4 is a pull-rope drive mechanism, including a drive housing 42, a pull rope 41, a main gear 43, a clutch gear 44, and a mainspring 46. The main gear 43 is provided with a pull rope part 431, and the pull rope 41 is wound around the pull rope part 431. The main gear 43 below the pull rope part 431 is provided with a mainspring fixing post 432. The two ends of the mainspring 46 are respectively fixed to the mainspring fixing post 432 and the drive housing 42. The pull rope 41 pulls the main gear 43 to rotate. At this time, the mainspring stores energy. When the pull rope is released, the mainspring 46 resets and drives the main gear 43 to reset.

[0024] Furthermore, the main gear 43 meshes with the clutch gear 44, and the drive housing 42 has an arc-shaped clutch groove 45. The clutch gear 44 is placed in the clutch groove 45. The transmitter base 1 is also provided with a slave gear 8. The lower part of the gyroscope body 8 is provided with gyroscope teeth 51 that mesh with the slave gear 8. The slave gear 8 is located in front of the clutch gear 44. In this embodiment, the slave gear 8 is a double gear. The slave gear is driven unidirectionally through the clutch gear 44. When the main gear 43 rotates in the forward direction, it drives the clutch gear 44 to rotate and mesh with the slave gear 8 in the forward direction, driving the slave gear 8 to rotate. When the main spring 46 resets and drives the main gear 43 to rotate in the reverse direction, the main gear 43 disengages the clutch gear 44 from the slave gear 8. When the slave gear 8 rotates, it drives the gyroscope body 5 to rotate.

[0025] Furthermore, the launching mechanism includes a launching frame 6 and a launching button 9. Two limiting plates 15 are provided on the launching base 1, and the limiting plates 15 form a limiting channel. The launching frame 6 can only move back and forth along the limiting channel when placed in the limiting channel. A launching spring 62 is provided between the launching frame 6 and the launching base 1. Pressing the launching button 9 causes the launching frame 6 to move forward through the launching spring 62.

[0026] Furthermore, the launcher 6 has a clamping groove 61 at its front end, and the gyroscope body 5 above the gyroscope gear 51 has a kit 52 that is placed in the clamping groove 61. The gyroscope body 5 can rotate on the kit 52. The launcher base 1 in front of the clamping groove 61 has a launch port.

[0027] Furthermore, a locking element 7 is rotatably mounted on one side of the clamping groove 61. The locking element 7 includes a locking shaft 72, a connecting arm 71, and a locking part 73. The locking part 73 is laterally mounted on the connecting arm 71. The launcher 6 has a shaft opening that matches the locking shaft 72. A locking port is provided on one side of the clamping groove 61. The locking part 73 passes through the locking port and contacts the kit 52. The launcher base 1 also includes a protective cover 11 placed above the launcher 6. The protective cover 11 has a guide wall 12 at its bottom near the locking element 7. The guide wall 12 includes a horizontal portion 121 and an inclined portion 122. The inclined portion 122 is located at the end of the horizontal portion 121 and is inclined outward. Before launch, the connecting arm 71 contacts the horizontal portion 121, so that the locking portion 73 contacts the kit 52 to prevent the gyroscope body 5 from disengaging from the clamping groove 61. When the launcher 6 moves forward, the connecting arm 71 enters the inclined portion 122, so that the locking portion 73 is in an active state and can be opened. The gyroscope body 5 is launched from the clamping groove 61 by the thrust provided by the launch spring 62.

[0028] Furthermore, a button base 14 is provided on the transmitter base 1, and the launch button 9 is placed in the button base 14. A reset spring 92 is provided between the launch button 9 and the button base 14. A first hook 91 is provided at the bottom of the launch button 9. A second hook 63 is provided near the launch button and is connected to the first hook 91. Pressing the button base 14 disengages the second hook 63 from the first hook 91, and the launch spring 62 can push the launch frame 6 forward.
