Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 8As shown in the illustration, this application provides a rotating piano toy, including: a main shell 1, a housing 2, an operating component 3, and a sound component 4. The main shell 1 has a key-shaped portion 11 and a rotating groove located at the top of the key-shaped portion 11. The housing 2 is accommodated in the rotating groove and is rotatably disposed on the main shell 1. The housing 2 has multiple display surfaces 211 arranged sequentially along its circumference. The operating component 3 is rotatably connected to the main shell 1, and the operating component 3 and the housing 2 are in a transmission cooperation; rotation of the operating component 3 drives the housing 2 to rotate. The sound component 4 is disposed on the main shell 1 and includes multiple trigger parts 41, each of which is arranged sequentially around the rotation axis of the housing 2. Under external force, rotation of the operating component 3 sequentially triggers each trigger part 41, causing the sound component 4 to enter a corresponding sound emission mode. When the housing 2 switches to different display surfaces 211, different sound emission modes are simultaneously switched. The rotating piano toy of this application uses a rotating housing 2 and an operating component 3 for transmission and cooperation, and a trigger part 41 to achieve multi-mode sound switching. Combined with multiple display surfaces 211 for sound and light effects, it has a novel way of playing, strong interactivity, and can effectively attract children's interest in playing. The structure is simple and significantly improves the early education effect and market competitiveness of the product.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sound component 4 includes a circuit board 42 and a speaker (not shown). The speaker is electrically connected to the circuit board 42. The housing 2 includes a main housing 21 and an end cylinder 22 located at the end of the main housing 21. The end cylinder 22 is rotatably connected to the main housing 1. A lever 5 is provided on the end cylinder 22. The circuit board 42 is disposed on the main housing 1 and sleeved on the outside of the end cylinder 22. Each trigger part 41 is disposed on the circuit board 42. The rotation of the housing 2 can trigger each trigger part 41 in sequence through the lever 5, realizing precise linkage between the rotation of the housing 2 and the switching of the sound mode. The structure is compact and the triggering is reliable. It simplifies the mechanical transmission structure of multi-mode sound production, improves the overall stability and durability of the toy, and provides children with a rich audio-visual interactive experience.

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the end cylinder 22 has a groove 221 on its wall. The lever 5 includes a fixing part 51 and an extension part 52. The fixing part 51 is fixed to the inner side of the end cylinder 22, and the extension part 52 extends out of the end cylinder 22 from the groove 221. The trigger part 41 is a first switch. During the rotation of the end cylinder 22, the extension part 52 sequentially presses and triggers each first switch. This allows the lever 5 to extend stably and sequentially press and trigger each first switch as the housing 2 rotates, achieving precise linkage between the rotation of the housing 2 and mode switching. This structure is compact and reliable, avoiding the problem of the lever 5 being exposed and easily damaged, while ensuring the stability and consistency of the triggering action. It effectively improves the overall durability and operational reliability of the toy, providing a stable mechanical triggering basis for the multi-mode sound function.

[0026] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first switch includes a first base 411 and a first pressing part 412 movably disposed on the first base 411. The cross-section of the first pressing part 412 gradually decreases in the direction from the circuit board 42 to the extension 52. The first switch can be a surface-mount tactile switch, which is soldered to the circuit board 42. The first pressing part 412 is disposed on its top, and its cross-section gradually decreases, with a contact slope 4121 formed on its upper surface. When the housing 2 rotates, the lever 5 rotates synchronously with the end cylinder 22, first contacting the contact slope 4121 of the corresponding first pressing part 412. The guiding effect of the contact slope 4121 converts the horizontal movement of the lever 5 into vertical pressure on the tactile switch, thereby triggering the first switch to conduct, allowing the circuit board 42 to receive a mode switching signal. After the lever 5 leaves the corresponding contact block, the internal spring of the surface-mount tactile switch resets, the circuit is disconnected, and a stable single-trigger and reset action is achieved.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the end cylinder 22 is provided with a threaded groove 222. The threaded section of the screw 6 passes through the fixing part 51 and is threaded into the threaded groove 222. The cap of the screw 6 is limited to the fixing part 51. The fixing structure of the screw 6 realizes the stable installation of the lever 5 inside the end cylinder 22. The fixing method is simple and reliable, which not only avoids the problem of the lever 5 loosening or falling off during long-term rotation triggering, but also eliminates the need for additional complex buckle or adhesive structure, simplifying the assembly process, reducing production difficulty and cost. At the same time, it ensures the synchronization of the rotation of the lever 5 and the end cylinder 22, providing a stable installation foundation for the lever 5 to trigger each of the first switches in sequence, and improving the overall durability and working reliability of the toy.

[0028] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second switch 43 is provided on the circuit board 42, and the operating member 3 is slidably sleeved on the end cylinder 22. Under the action of external force, the operating member 3 can slide along the end cylinder 22 to press the second switch 43, triggering the sound component 4 to switch different sounds in the corresponding sound mode. This structure combines the dual operation logic of rotation switching mode and sliding switching content. The structure is compact and the operation is intuitive. It does not require additional complex transmission mechanisms, which not only enriches the interactive play of the toy, but also simplifies the circuit triggering structure, effectively improving the playability and operational reliability of the toy, and providing children with a multi-layered sound and light interactive experience.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating piano toy includes multiple second switches 43, each of which is arranged circumferentially around the rotation axis of the housing 2. The second switches 43 can also be surface-mounted tactile switches. This structure, in conjunction with the operating member 3 slidably mounted on the end cylinder 22, allows the corresponding second switch 43 to be triggered nearby whenever the operating member 3 slides along the end cylinder 22 at any angle, without needing to align with a specific position. This significantly reduces the difficulty of operation for children, increases the success rate of triggering, and also ensures convenient switching of corresponding sound content in any working mode. The structure is compact, has a high operational tolerance, and effectively improves the smoothness of the toy's interaction and the play experience.

[0030] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the operating component 3 includes a cylinder 31 and a flange 32 located on the edge of the cylinder 31. The projection of the flange 32 onto the circuit board 42 covers each of the second switches 43. Each of the first switches is located inside the projection area of ​​the flange 32, so that the flange 32 can only be pressed to trigger the second switches 43 and will not accidentally touch the first switches. This effectively distinguishes the triggering functions of the two switches, avoids operational interference, has a reasonable structural layout, and clear action zoning. It ensures that the two types of operations, namely rotation switching mode and sliding sound effect switching, operate independently, thereby improving the product's working stability and user experience.

[0031] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the rotating piano toy includes a lamp tube 7. The housing 2 has a cavity and an end hole 223 communicating with the cavity. The rotation axis of the housing 2 passes through the end hole 223, which is located at the end of the housing 2 opposite to the operating member 3. One end of the lamp tube 7 is inserted into the cavity of the housing 2 through the end hole 223, and the other end of the lamp tube 7 is exposed outside the housing 2 and fixedly connected to the main shell 1. The lamp tube 7 contains an LED (not shown), which is electrically connected to a cable (not shown). A wire hole 71 is provided at the exposed end of the lamp tube 7, through which the cable is led outwards. The housing 2 can rotate freely relative to the lamp tube 7 without affecting the lighting structure. The cable is led out from the wire hole 71, and the wiring is neat and orderly, which can effectively prevent the cable from getting tangled, pulled and worn during the rotation of the box 2, ensuring stable and reliable circuit connection. The light can be lit synchronously with the sound mode, which enriches the visual effect of the product and further enhances the fun of the toy and the overall structural durability.

[0032] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating piano toy includes a fixing component 8, which has a plug 81 and connecting ears 82 located at both ends of the plug 81. The plug 81 is sleeved on the end of the lamp tube 7 that extends out of the housing 2, and the two connecting ears 82 are respectively connected to the main shell 1. The plug 81 is sleeved on the exposed end of the lamp tube 7, and the connecting ears 82 at both ends are connected to the main shell 1 by fasteners, which can reliably position and secure the lamp tube 7, effectively preventing the lamp tube 7 from loosening or shifting during the rotation of the housing 2 and the use of the toy. The overall fixing structure is simple and compact, and easy to assemble, further improving the installation stability and reliability of the lighting components.

[0033] The linkage between the operating component 3 and the housing 2 enables the switching of four working modes. For example, rotating the operating component 3 can cause the housing 2 to display different display surfaces 211, which may include instrument mode, animal sound mode, rhythm accompaniment mode, and song accompaniment mode. At the same time, by pressing the operating component 3, the corresponding functions can be further switched in each mode. For example, in instrument mode, different instrument sounds can be switched; in animal sound mode, different animal sounds can be switched; in rhythm accompaniment mode, different rhythm tracks can be switched; and in song accompaniment mode, different songs can be switched.

[0034] The preferred embodiments disclosed above are merely illustrative of this application. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the application to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize this application. This application is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
