Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a toy bonsai with a dynamic petal structure. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional toy planters often feature static petals, lacking appeal. While some designs offer movable petals, these typically involve a rotating shaft on the stem, with the petals rotatably mounted on it. This usually requires manual manipulation, which is laborious and unengaging. Electric rotating planters on the market are battery-powered, but these are costly and structurally complex. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more engaging and energy-efficient toy planter solution. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, thereby providing a toy bonsai that drives the petals to rotate by vertical pressing, achieving a more fun and electricity-free technical effect.
[0004] A toy bonsai according to this utility model includes a flowerpot, a flower stem, petals, a pressing component, a gear transmission assembly, a reset device, a rotating shaft, and a limiting block, all fixedly installed within the flowerpot. The pressing component has an internal accommodating cavity and an axial through hole at its lower part. The gear transmission assembly is fixedly disposed within the accommodating cavity. The upper end of the flower stem has an axially extending guide hole, and a straight-tooth rack is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the flower stem. The pressing component is sleeved onto the upper end of the flower stem through the axial through hole at its lower part. A guide post is provided within the accommodating cavity, and the guide post passes through the guide hole of the flower stem with a clearance fit. It is configured to reciprocate linearly only along the axial direction of the guide hole; the spur rack meshes with the input gear of the gear transmission assembly to form a first meshing pair; the reset device is disposed between the pressing member and the flower stem to reset the pressing member after the pressing force is removed; the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the guide post, the rotating shaft extends outward through the through hole in the side wall of the pressing member, and the limiting block is installed at the end of the rotating shaft; the petals are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft through a bushing, and the bushing is provided with a driven gear; the driven gear meshes with the output gear of the gear transmission assembly to form a second meshing pair.
[0005] When a vertically downward pressing force is applied to the pressing member, the pressing member drives the guide post to move downward along the axial direction of the guide hole. The spur rack drives the input gear to rotate, and the gear transmission assembly transmits the rotational motion to the output gear. The output gear drives the driven gear to rotate, thereby causing the petals to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the reset device is a reset spring, which is disposed in the guide hole. The bottom of the guide hole is provided with a boss. The first end of the reset spring is connected to the boss, and the second end abuts against the outer wall of the guide post. In its natural state, the spring holds the guide post at the upper limit position along the axial direction of the guide hole.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pressing member is composed of a first housing and a second housing detachably connected together, and the first housing is provided with a passage for accommodating and allowing the driven gear to mesh with the output gear.
[0008] Working principle: Press the pressing part → guide post moves down along the guide hole → spur rack drives the input gear → gear transmission assembly transmits motion to the output gear → output gear drives the driven gear → petals rotate around the axis of rotation; after the pressing force is removed, the restoring force of the reset spring resets the pressing part.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. High structural integration: The gear transmission assembly is completely enclosed in the cavity of the pressing part, avoiding external interference; 2. Safe and reliable operation: The vertical pressing operation conforms to ergonomics, and the limiting block prevents the bushing from coming off; 3. Precise reset: The clearance fit between the guide post and the guide hole ensures the linear motion trajectory, and the reset spring provides stable restoring force; 4. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: No battery required, purely mechanical drive; 5. High fun: A single press can trigger the continuous rotation of the petals, with a realistic dynamic effect. Attached Figure Description
