A dice cup

Abstract

The application provides a dice cup. An object is placed in a rotating shaft tray in a relatively closed containing cavity. A first transmission assembly is lifted by pressing a lower pressing shell. The lifting of the first transmission assembly drives the circumferential reciprocating movement of a second rotating assembly. When the second transmission assembly moves circumferentially and reciprocally, it drives the movement of a third transmission assembly, and then the third transmission assembly engages with the rotating shaft tray to drive the rotating shaft tray to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft tray makes the dice or other small objects placed thereon roll. The beneficial effects are remarkable, the swinging space is greatly reduced, the swinging arm action is reduced, the surrounding objects are avoided from being knocked down, and the game continuity and safety are ensured.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of recreational toys, and more particularly to a dice cup. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dice cups have a simple structure, typically consisting of a closed or semi-closed container and dice inside. Players manually shake the cup to make the dice roll inside the container, generating random numbers and adding unpredictability and fun to the game.

[0003] Existing standard dice games primarily use a dice cup and dice. During the game, players manually shake the dice cup to make the dice spin inside. From a transmission efficiency perspective, manually shaking the dice cup is extremely inefficient. Players need to spend a significant amount of time and effort repeatedly shaking to achieve the desired spin, and the force and frequency of shaking are difficult to control precisely, resulting in poor dice speed and stability, affecting the game's progress and efficiency. Secondly, due to the high frequency of movement and the large swing area, it's easy to knock over surrounding objects, increasing safety hazards and potentially interrupting the game, reducing its continuity and entertainment value. Furthermore, the easy loss of dice also inconveniences players, increasing the game's cost and hassle.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a dice cup that can reduce the space for swinging, prevent knocking over surrounding objects, and allow the dice to rotate. Utility Model Content

[0026] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also have an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or may also have an intervening component. The terms "top," "bottom," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] An embodiment of this application provides a dice cup, comprising: The lower pressure housing and the packaging bottom housing together form a receiving cavity; A rotating tray is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity; A transmission device is disposed within the receiving cavity, the transmission device comprising: The first transmission component is vertically and flexibly connected to the lower pressure housing at one end; The second transmission component is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft tray, and the second transmission component is connected to the other end of the first transmission component so that the second transmission component can reciprocate in the circumferential direction. The third transmission component has one end connected to the second transmission component and the other end capable of engaging with the rotating shaft tray.

[0029] The dice cup described above features a design where a pressing shell and a sealing bottom shell work together to form a relatively enclosed cavity. An object is placed within a rotating tray in this enclosed cavity. Pressing the pressing shell raises and lowers a first transmission component, which in turn drives a second rotating component to reciprocate circumferentially. As the second transmission component reciprocates circumferentially, it drives a third transmission component, which in turn engages with the rotating tray, causing the tray to rotate. This rotation of the tray causes the dice or other small objects placed on it to roll, significantly reducing the space for swaying, minimizing arm movements, preventing collisions with surrounding objects, and ensuring game continuity and safety.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] according to Figures 1-8 In this application, a dice cup 100 is provided, including: a lower pressing shell 10, a sealing bottom shell 20, a rotating tray 40, and a transmission device 50.

[0032] The lower pressure housing 10 and the packaging bottom housing 20 enclose a receiving cavity 30; the rotating shaft tray 40 is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity 30; and the transmission device 50 is disposed within the receiving cavity 30.

[0033] The transmission device 50 includes: a first transmission component 51, one end of which is vertically and vertically connected to the lower pressure housing 10; a second transmission component 52, which is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft tray 40, and the other end of the second transmission component 52 is connected to the first transmission component 51 so that the second transmission component 52 reciprocates in the circumferential direction; and a third transmission component 53, one end of which is connected to the second transmission component 52, and the other end of which can be engaged with the rotating shaft tray 40.

[0034] Specifically, the rotating tray 40 is a component used to hold dice or other similar small objects. It rotates via an internal transmission device 50 to achieve a function similar to rolling dice in a traditional dice cup. The lower housing 10 and the encapsulated bottom housing 20 are connected by means such as snap-fit ​​connections or threaded connections to form a relatively closed receiving cavity 30. This receiving cavity 30 provides space for the installation and operation of the various internal components, preventing objects from being thrown out of the rotating tray 40 when it is rotated, thus avoiding the problem of objects being thrown out and lost during traditional hand-cranking.

[0035] Furthermore, by pressing down on the pressing housing 10, one end of the first transmission component 51 moves along with the lifting and lowering of the pressing housing 10, causing the other end of the first transmission component 51 to move as well. This eliminates the need for large swinging motions like in traditional dice cups; the entire transmission process can be initiated with a simple pressing operation, greatly reducing the swinging space and avoiding the safety hazard of knocking over surrounding objects due to large swings, thus ensuring the continuity of the game.

[0036] When one end of the first transmission component 51 rises or falls, the other end of the first transmission component 51 moves, which in turn drives the second transmission component 52 connected to the other end of the first transmission component 51 to move circumferentially. This converts the pressing action into rotational motion, providing power for the subsequent rotation of the rotating shaft tray 40.

[0037] When the second transmission component 52 moves circumferentially, it drives the third transmission component 53 to move, which in turn engages with the rotating tray 40, causing the rotating tray 40 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating tray 40 causes the dice or other small objects placed on it to roll, producing random results similar to traditional dice games, bringing uncertainty and fun to the players.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the dice cup further includes: a support frame 60, a support plate 70, and a movable component 80.

[0039] The support frame 60 is vertically mounted inside the packaging bottom shell 20 and abuts against the lower pressure shell 10; the support plate 70 is located at the end of the packaging bottom shell 20 away from the support frame 60, and the rotating shaft tray 40 is located on the support plate 70; the movable component 80 is telescopically located between the support frame 60 and the support plate 70; one end of the first transmission component 51 rotates on the support frame 60, and the other end slides on the support plate 70.

[0040] Specifically, the bottom enclosure 20 provides installation space for the support frame 60 and the transmission device 50, and the support frame 60 can be raised and lowered within the bottom enclosure 20.

[0041] The movable component 80 can extend and retract according to the lifting and lowering of the support frame 60. It not only serves to connect the support frame 60 and the support plate 70, but also may play a certain role in buffering and guiding the lifting and lowering of the support frame 60, ensuring the stability of the lifting and lowering process of the support frame 60.

[0042] When the user presses down on the pressure housing 10, the support frame 60 rises and falls accordingly. Since the support frame 60 abuts against the pressure housing 10, the pressing action is directly transmitted to the support frame 60, causing it to move up and down within the encapsulation bottom shell 20. When the pressure housing 10 is pressed, it applies pressure to the support frame 60, causing the support frame 60 to descend towards the support assembly plate 70 within the encapsulation bottom shell 20. When the user releases the pressure housing 10, the movable component 80, under the action of the recovery mechanism, pushes the support frame 60 upward to reset.

[0043] The support plate 70 provides a movable position for the transmission device 50. One end of the first transmission component 51 can rotate around a pivot point on the support frame 60; simultaneously, the other end can slide on the support plate 70, thereby driving the second transmission component 52 to perform circumferential reciprocating motion, thus driving the transmission action of other transmission devices 50. This allows the first transmission component 51 to flexibly adjust its position and orientation when subjected to external forces to adapt to the movement requirements of the entire transmission device 50.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the rotating tray 40 includes a rotating disk 41 and a rotating shaft 42.

[0045] The rotating disk 41 extends out of the encapsulation bottom shell 20, the pressing shell 10 is sleeved on the rotating disk 41, and the rotating shaft 42 is located inside the encapsulation bottom shell 20, with one end connected to the rotating disk 41 and the other end rotatably mounted on the support plate 70.

[0046] Specifically, the rotating disk 41 extends out of the encapsulation bottom shell 20 and allows the lower pressure shell 10 to be fitted on its outside, forming a nested structure. The rotating disk 41 is also nested in the support frame 60, so that when the lower pressure shell 10 drives the support frame 60 to move up and down, it will not contact the rotating disk 41, so that the rotating disk 41 can rotate in its original position.

[0047] The rotating disk 41 is used to place objects, allowing players to see the situation on the rotating disk 41 directly. The rotation of the rotating shaft 42 drives the rotating disk 41 to rotate, which in turn allows the objects placed on the rotating disk 41 to roll.

[0048] The rotating shaft 42 is connected to the third transmission component 53, and when the third transmission component 53 moves, it drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. When the user presses down on the housing 10, the power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 42 through the transmission device 50, which drives the rotating disk 41 to rotate, thereby causing the object placed on the rotating disk 41 to produce a random rolling effect.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the support plate 70 includes a first support plate 71, a second support plate 72 and a third support plate 73, and the end of the rotating shaft 42 away from the rotating disk 41 passes through the first support plate 71, the second support plate 72 and the third support plate 73 in sequence.

[0050] Specifically, the support plate 70 can withstand a certain amount of external force, protecting the internal transmission components from damage and improving the reliability and durability of the toy.

[0051] The first support plate 71, the second support plate 72, and the third support plate 73 are fixed together by screws, bolts, or other fasteners to form a support assembly 70. The support assembly 70 is fixed to the bottom of the encapsulation base 20 using the same fasteners (screws, bolts, or other fasteners), thus achieving a stable connection between the support assembly 70 and the encapsulation base 20. This fixing method ensures the stability of the support assembly 70 within the encapsulation base 20, providing a reliable support foundation for the transmission structure and the rotating shaft 42.

[0052] The rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to each support plate, and the rotating shaft 42 is located at the central axis point of each support plate. By opening a connecting rotating hole at the central axis point of each support plate, the rotating shaft 42 can rotate freely within the hole. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 42 has a rotating frame that supports its rotation. The rotating frame is fitted onto the rotating shaft 42 and connected to screws, bolts, etc., fixed to each support plate, thus ensuring that the rotating shaft 42 does not easily wobble when rotating.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the third support plate 73 has a first limiting groove 73a formed radially along the third support plate 73, the first limiting groove 73a extending from the edge of the third support plate 73 toward the center point of the plate; The first transmission assembly 51 includes a sliding rod 511, a sliding plate 512, and a rotating member 513. The sliding plate 512 is movable within the first limiting groove 73a. The rotating member 513 is disposed on one end of the sliding plate 512. The other end of the sliding plate 512 is connected to the second transmission assembly 52. ​​One end of the sliding rod 511 is disposed on the rotating member 513, and the other end passes through the second support plate 72 and the first support plate 71 in sequence and is connected to the support frame 60. The sliding rod 511 has a crank structure.

[0054] Specifically, the third support plate 73 is located at the bottommost part of the encapsulation bottom shell 20, and the first limiting groove 73a provides a specific motion trajectory and limiting range for the first transmission component 51, ensuring that the sliding plate 512 can only move in a straight line along the radial direction of the first limiting groove 73a, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire transmission structure.

[0055] The sliding plate 512 can slide linearly under the constraint of the first limiting groove 73a. One end of the sliding plate 512 is connected to the second transmission component 52, which transmits power and motion, and transmits the motion of the sliding plate 512 to the second transmission component 52, thereby driving the motion of the third transmission component 53; the other end is connected to the rotating member 513, and the motion of the rotating member 513 provides sliding motion for the sliding plate 512.

[0056] The rotating component 513 is a component that can rotate around its own axis. Through the rotational connection of the sliding rod 511 on the rotating component 513, the movement of the sliding rod 511 drives the rotating component 513 to rotate. At the same time, the movement of the rotating component 513 will also affect the movement state of the sliding plate 512.

[0057] In the crank structure of the sliding rod 511, the curved groove surface faces the rotation shaft 42, so that the sliding rod 511 can move toward the rotation shaft 42 when it moves.

[0058] When the pressing housing 10 moves the support frame 60 downwards, one end of the sliding rod 511 connected to the support frame 60 moves downwards accordingly. During the downward movement, the sliding rod 511 rotates around the rotating component 513. This rotational motion causes the other end of the sliding rod 511 (the end connected to the rotating component 513) to generate a force that pushes the rotating component 513 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating component 513 then drives the sliding plate 512 to slide linearly in the radial direction within the first limiting groove 73a. The linear sliding of the sliding plate 512 then transmits power to the second transmission assembly 52, driving the second transmission assembly 52 to move, ultimately realizing the linkage of the entire transmission structure.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, the third support plate 73 is further provided with a second limiting groove 73b, which is formed circumferentially from the central axis of the third support plate 73; the second transmission assembly 52 includes a rotating rod 521 and a first elastic member 522, the rotating rod 521 is movable within the second limiting groove 73b and rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 42, one end of the elastic member is disposed on the rotating rod 521 and the other end is disposed on the third support plate 73; wherein, the rotating rod 521 is connected to the sliding plate 512 and connected to the third transmission assembly 53.

[0060] Specifically, the second limiting groove 73b provides circumferential movement space for the rotating rod 521 in the second transmission assembly 52. ​​The groove depth of the second limiting groove 73b is greater than the groove depth of the first limiting groove 73a, so that the sliding plate 512 moving in the first limiting groove 73a and the second transmission assembly 52 moving in the second limiting groove 73b will not collide or interfere with the sliding plate 512 due to insufficient space during movement.

[0061] It should be noted that the rotating rod 521 is a straight rod or column, so that when the rotating rod 521 rotates around the rotating axis 42, it diverges into a fan-shaped motion trajectory.

[0062] The second limiting groove 73b is designed as a fan-shaped structure, and the rotating shaft 42 moves within the second limiting groove 73b, so that the rotating rod 521 of the second transmission component 52 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42, so that the rotating rod 521 can move under the constraint of the second limiting groove 73b and rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft 42, realizing the composite motion of the rotating rod 521 in space.

[0063] The first elastic element 522 is a spring-like component. One end of the spring is fixed to the rotating rod 521, which is making a fan-shaped motion, and the other end is fixed to the third support plate 73. When the rotating rod 521 moves, it drives the first elastic element 522 to move as well, causing the first elastic element 522 to deform and generate an elastic force. When the sliding plate 512 drives the rotating rod 521 to move in a certain direction, the first elastic element 522 is stretched, generating a restoring force opposite to the direction of movement. This restoring force acts on the rotating rod 521, affecting its speed and acceleration, and also provides the power for the rotating rod 521 to return to its original position after movement.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the third transmission assembly 53 includes a first transmission rod 531 and a second transmission rod 532.

[0065] The first transmission rod 531 is connected to the rotating rod 521; the second transmission rod 532 is arranged in the same direction as the first transmission rod 531 and adjacent to the rotating shaft 42. The second transmission rod 532 and the first transmission rod 531 are connected at a rotation point, which is located at the end of the second transmission assembly 52 away from the rotating rod 521; the first support plate 71 has a third limiting groove 71a; the second support plate 72 has a fourth limiting groove 72a, and the third limiting groove 71a and the fourth limiting groove 72a are connected. The second transmission rod 532 moves within the third limiting groove 71a, and the first transmission rod 531 moves within the fourth limiting groove 72a.

[0066] Specifically, the first transmission rod 531 is connected to the rotating rod 521 in the second transmission assembly 52, serving as an intermediate link in power transmission and transmitting the motion of the rotating rod 521 to the subsequent structure. The first transmission rod 531 moves within the fourth limiting groove 72a, and the second transmission rod 532 moves within the third limiting groove 71a. The two achieve coordinated and cooperative movement through the connected limiting grooves.

[0067] The third limiting groove 71a is designed as a linear motion groove, and the fourth limiting groove 72a is designed as a motion groove to limit the linear motion of the first transmission rod 531. The two ends of the third limiting groove 71a have different widths; one end is smaller, allowing the connection end between the second transmission rod 532 and the first transmission rod 531 to move within the smaller end of the groove, while the other end is wider, allowing the second transmission rod 532 to move in conjunction with the reset groove 731 at the other end.

[0068] When the rotating rod 521 in the second transmission assembly 52 moves, it drives the first transmission rod 531 to move in a straight line within the fourth limiting groove 72a. Since the first transmission rod 531 and the second transmission rod 532 are connected through a rotation point, the movement of the first transmission rod 531 will cause the second transmission rod 532 to move within the third limiting groove 71a. Furthermore, the second transmission rod 532 is engaged with the rotating shaft 42, and thus, when the second transmission rod 532 moves, it transmits the kinetic force to the rotating shaft 42, thereby causing the rotating shaft 42 to perform a corresponding rotational movement.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the third support plate 73 further has a reset groove 731; the second transmission rod 532 further has a movable column 5321, the movable column 5321 is located at the end of the second transmission rod 532 away from the rotation point, and the movable column 5321 moves within the reset groove 731; wherein, the reset groove 731 has a triangular structure and forms a stepped slide, including a first slide 7311, a second slide 7312 and a third slide 7313 connected in sequence, the first slide 7311 is parallel to the second transmission rod 532, so that the second transmission rod 532 moves linearly along the first slide 7311; wherein, the first slide 7311 is close to the rotation shaft 42, and the second slide 7312 and the third slide 7313 are away from the rotation shaft 42.

[0070] Specifically, the stepped chute has a smooth surface, and each chute has a height difference between its two ends. As the movable column 5321 slides from the lower end to the higher end, it experiences an upward force. This causes the movable column 5321 to fall into the lower end of the chute when it reaches the end of the chute, thus allowing it to move only along the sliding trajectory within the fallen chute.

[0071] The cooperation between the movable column 5321 and the reset groove 731 is crucial for the second transmission rod 532 to achieve its reset movement. The reset groove 731 is connected to the third limiting groove 71a, allowing the movable column 5321 to pass through the first support plate 71 and the second support plate 72, and move within the reset groove 731 of the third support plate 73. In the initial state, the movable column 5321 is located at the starting end of the first sliding groove 7311 of the reset groove 731. At this time, the second transmission rod 532 is in a relatively stable position, and the entire transmission structure is in a balanced state.

[0072] When the second transmission rod 532 moves within the third limiting groove 71a, due to the cooperation between the movable column 5321 and the reset groove 731, the movable column 5321 will move along the trajectory of the reset groove 731, driving the second transmission rod 532 to move within the first limiting groove 73a. Because the first sliding groove 7311 is parallel to the second transmission rod 532 and close to the rotating shaft 42, in the initial stage of movement, the movable column 5321 slides within the first sliding groove 7311, allowing the second transmission rod 532 to move linearly along the direction of the first sliding groove 7311.

[0073] When the rotating rod 521 drives the first transmission rod 531 to continue moving, the first transmission rod 531 drives the second transmission rod 532 to move within the third limiting groove 71a and the reset groove 731. When the movable column 5321 slides with the second transmission rod 532 from the starting end of the first slide groove 7311 to the ending end of the first slide groove 7311, it indicates that the current second transmission rod 532 has completed its movement in a straight line. When the movable column 5321 slides to the second slide groove 7312, the second slide groove 7312 will drive the movable column 5321 and the second transmission rod 532 to move along a trajectory deviating from a straight line, thereby causing the movable column 5321 to gradually move away from the rotating shaft 42. When the movable column 5321 slides to the third slide groove 7313, the movable column 5321 drives the second transmission rod 532 to move towards the rotating shaft 42, thereby returning to the position of the first slide groove 7311 and completing the reset of the device.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the second transmission rod 532 further has a protrusion 5322, which is located on the side of the second transmission rod 532 near the rotating shaft 42; the rotating shaft 42 further has a rotating wheel 421, which is engaged with the protrusion 5322.

[0075] Specifically, the rotating wheel 421 is a gear structure, which makes the rotating wheel 421 rotate by meshing with the protrusion 5322.

[0076] In the initial state of the second transmission rod 532, the protrusion 5322 is intersected with the rotating wheel 421. When the second transmission rod 532 slides along the first slide groove 7311, the protrusion 5322 contacts and engages with the rotating wheel 421. When the second transmission rod 532 slides to the second slide groove 7312, the protrusion 5322 intersectes with the rotating wheel 421 again.

[0077] The protrusion 5322 is used to cooperate with the rotating shaft 42. When the second transmission rod 532 slides in the first slide groove 7311, the second transmission rod 532 moves linearly along the third limiting groove 71a. When the second transmission rod 532 moves, it drives the protrusion 5322 to move together. When the second transmission rod 532 moves along the third slide groove 7313, the protrusion 5322 can engage with the rotating wheel 421. When the protrusion 5322 engages with the rotating wheel 421, it drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk 41 connected to the rotating shaft 42 to rotate together.

[0078] When the movable column 5321 of the second transmission rod 532 slides to the second slide groove 7312, the second transmission rod 532 moves away from the rotating wheel 421, causing the protrusion 5322 to also move away from the rotating wheel 421. At this time, the rotating shaft 42 will continue to rotate due to the inertia of rotation.

[0079] When the movable column 5321 of the second transmission rod 532 slides to the third slide groove 7313, the second transmission rod 532 moves toward the side closer to the rotating wheel 421, causing the protrusion 5322 to also move toward the side closer to the rotating wheel 421, and together with the second transmission rod 532, it continues to slide onto the first slide groove 7311, and the protrusion 5322 also completes one movement of the reset groove 731.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, the active component 80 includes a telescopic component 81 and an elastic component 82.

[0081] The telescopic components 81 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the edge of the support frame 60; the elastic components 82 are distributed circumferentially along the edge of the support frame 60 and are disposed between adjacent telescopic components 81; wherein, the telescopic components 81 include: a first support column 811 and a second support column 812, the first support column 811 is disposed on the support frame 60, and the second support column 812 is disposed on the support plate 70, and the first support column 811 and the second support column 812 are arranged opposite to each other so that the first support column 811 and the second support column 812 can telescopically extend and retract relative to each other along their axial direction; the elastic components 82 include: a third support column 821 and a second elastic element 822 sleeved on the third support column 821, one end of the third support column 821 penetrates the support frame 60, and the other end is disposed on the support plate 70.

[0082] Specifically, the telescopic component 81 and the elastic component 82 are both distributed circumferentially along the edge of the support frame 60, so that the movable component 80 forms a uniform support and elastic buffer structure at the edge of the support frame 60.

[0083] The third support column 821, which runs through the support frame 60, ensures that the support frame 60 can move freely along the column on the third support column 821. The second elastic element 822 is an elastic spring element. When the support frame 60 and the lower pressure housing 10 are pressed down, the support frame 60 moves towards the support assembly plate 70, thereby compressing the second elastic element 822 and generating a thrust in the opposite direction of movement. When the downward pressure on the lower pressure housing 10 is removed, the second spring element will push the support frame 60 and the lower pressure housing 10 with an upward force.

[0084] The relative telescopic function of the telescopic component 81 enables the support plate 70 to make a certain degree of displacement adjustment according to the magnitude and direction of the external force, thereby enabling the support frame 60 to perform relative telescopic movement on the first support column 811 and the second support column 812.

[0085] In summary, when the pressure housing 10 is compressed downwards, the support frame 60 descends towards the support plate 70 within the encapsulated bottom shell 20. In the movable assembly 80, the first support column 811 and the second support column 812 of the telescopic assembly 81 contract relative to each other, and the second elastic element 822 of the elastic assembly 82 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. In the first transmission assembly 51, the sliding rod 511 moves downwards and rotates with the support frame 60, pushing the rotating element 513 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding plate 512 to slide radially in the first limiting groove 73a of the third support plate 73. In the second transmission assembly 52, the sliding plate 512 drives the rotating rod 521 to move in the second limiting groove 73b. The movement causes the first elastic element 522 to be stretched, generating a restoring force; in the third transmission assembly 53, the rotating rod 521 drives the first transmission rod 531 to move in a straight line within the fourth limiting groove 72a, the first transmission rod 531 causes the second transmission rod 532 to move within the third limiting groove 71a, the movable column 5321 slides within the reset groove 731, and the protrusion 5322 engages with the rotating wheel 421 on the rotating shaft 42, driving the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk 41 to rotate, causing small objects such as dice placed on it to roll.

[0086] When the downward pressure on the housing 10 moves upward and the downward pressure is removed, the second elastic element 822 of the elastic component 82 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support frame 60 to rise and reset. The first support column 811 and the second support column 812 of the telescopic component 81 extend relative to each other. In the first transmission component 51, the sliding rod 511 rotates in the opposite direction as the support frame 60 rises, causing the rotating component 513 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the sliding plate 512 slides back to its initial position in the first limiting groove 73a. In the second transmission component 52, the rotating rod 521 moves in the opposite direction to its initial position under the action of the sliding plate 512, and the tensile force of the first elastic element 522 further drives the rotation. Rod 521 moves in the opposite direction and gradually returns to its natural state; in the third transmission assembly 53, the first transmission rod 531 and the second transmission rod 532 move in opposite directions, and the movable column 5321 moves in the reset groove 731. It first slides into the second slide groove 7312, so that the protrusion 5322 gradually disengages from the rotating wheel 421. Then it slides into the third slide groove 7313 and moves towards the rotating shaft 42 to return to the position of the first slide groove 7311 to complete the reset; the rotating shaft 42 can still rotate after the third transmission assembly 53 resets. When the rotating shaft 42 stops by itself, the rotating disk 41 stops rotating and returns to the initial state to wait for the next operation.

[0087] Therefore, the dice cup 100 provided above is designed so that the pressing shell 10 and the encapsulating bottom shell 20 cooperate to form a relatively closed receiving cavity 30. An object is placed in the rotating tray 40 within the relatively closed receiving cavity 30. Pressing the pressing shell 10 causes the first transmission component 51 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the second rotating component to move circumferentially. When the second transmission component 52 moves circumferentially, it drives the third transmission component 53 to move, thereby engaging the third transmission component 53 with the rotating tray 40 and driving the rotating tray 40 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating tray 40 causes the dice or other small objects placed on it to roll, which has significant benefits, greatly reducing the swing space, reducing arm swinging movements, preventing collisions with surrounding objects, and ensuring the continuity and safety of the game.

[0088] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
