Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a visual interactive toy. Background Technology

[0002] Interactive toys are innovative children's entertainment products that not only attract children's attention and stimulate their curiosity and desire to explore, but also promote children's intellectual development and hands-on skills during play.

[0003] One type of interactive toy includes a shell, a control handle, and a rotating cylinder. The cylinder is housed inside the shell, which has an opening. The cylinder displays a pattern. Users operate the handle to rotate the cylinder, and the pattern is displayed through the opening in the shell. However, because the cylinder is inside the shell, users cannot directly observe its rotation. The visual presentation during interaction is not direct enough, potentially reducing its appeal and stimulating the user's desire to explore. Furthermore, this type of interactive toy only displays the pattern through the opening in the shell, lacking any pointer-like area indicator structure, making it difficult for users to accurately determine the specific area the cylinder points to after rotation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a visual interactive toy to solve the problem that the rotating cylinder of current toys is set inside the shell, and users cannot intuitively observe the overall rotation process of the rotating cylinder, and the visual display during the interactive process is not direct enough.

[0005] This utility model provides a visual interactive toy, comprising: Fixed base; A toggle mechanism is mounted on the fixed base; A turntable is connected to the output end of the actuating mechanism and rotates under the drive of the actuating mechanism. The surface of the turntable is divided into multiple sub-regions. A pointer structure is disposed on the fixed base, the pointer structure pointing to at least one of the sub-regions of the turntable.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the aforementioned visual interactive toy are as follows: This utility model solves the problems of existing interactive toys where the rotating cylinder is placed inside the shell, making it impossible for users to intuitively observe the overall rotation process and resulting in an indirect visual display; and the lack of an area indicator structure, making it difficult to accurately determine the area pointing after the rotating cylinder rotates. Specifically, by exposing the rotating disc, users can intuitively observe the overall rotation process of the disc driven by the actuating mechanism, enhancing the visual display effect during the interaction process and effectively increasing the attraction of users' attention and stimulating their desire to explore. At the same time, the pointer structure can clearly point to at least one sub-area after the disc rotates, making it easy for users to clearly and accurately determine the area pointing of the disc, thus improving the interactive experience and ease of use of the toy.

[0007] In one optional implementation, the actuating mechanism includes: A fixed plate is mounted on the fixed base; A lever is rotatably disposed inside the fixed base, with one end of the lever extending into the fixed base and the other end extending out of the fixed base; A rotating wheel is rotatably mounted on the fixed disk and coaxially connected to the turntable. A drive rod is slidably mounted on the fixed plate. One end of the drive rod abuts against the actuating rod and moves under the drive of the actuating rod. The other end of the drive rod meshes with the rotating wheel and drives the rotating wheel to rotate.

[0008] In one optional embodiment, a drive rod receiving area is vertically provided on the fixed plate, and a limiting post is provided on the drive rod receiving area; the drive rod includes a limiting part and a rack part, a limiting hole is provided on the limiting part, the limiting post is disposed in the limiting hole, and the limiting part is slidably disposed in the drive rod receiving area and is limited by the limiting post when sliding.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the limiting part is slidably set in the drive rod receiving area and is limited by the limiting post when sliding. When the drive rod moves linearly upward or downward, it will be limited by the limiting post to prevent the drive rod from sliding excessively.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the fixed disk is provided with a gear receiving hole, and the rotating wheel is rotatably disposed in the gear receiving hole. The rotating wheel is a gear and meshes with the rack portion.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the fixed plate is further provided with a return spring receiving area, and a return spring is provided in the return spring receiving area. One end of the return spring abuts against the end of the rack portion, and the other end of the return spring abuts against the inner wall of the return spring receiving area.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by setting the reset spring, the drive rod can be automatically reset, which simplifies the operation process, improves the interactive convenience and user experience of the toy, and at the same time, the design of the spring positioning post ensures the stable installation and working reliability of the reset spring.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the rack portion includes a first tooth and a second tooth, with a gap region formed between the first tooth and the second tooth; both the first tooth and the second tooth are capable of meshing with the rotating wheel to drive the rotating wheel to rotate, and the gap region is opposite to the rotating wheel but does not contact it.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: When the drive rod moves under the drive of the lever, the first tooth of the rack meshes with the rotating wheel to drive the rotating wheel to rotate for the first time. Subsequently, the spaced area is opposite to the rotating wheel but does not contact it. The rotating wheel continues to rotate under the action of inertia. When the second tooth of the rack moves with the drive rod and meshes with the rotating wheel, it drives the rotating wheel to rotate again. This effectively prolongs the rotation time of the turntable, enhances the dynamic visual effect and interactive fun of the rotation process, and improves the richness of the user's operating experience.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the turntable is disposed on the side of the fixed base, and the turntable is vertically oriented.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By arranging the turntable vertically on the side of the fixed base, horizontal space can be effectively saved, making the overall structure of the toy more compact. At the same time, the vertical layout makes it easier for users to observe the sub-areas on the turntable from the front, thus enhancing the interactive experience.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the top of the fixing base is provided with a positioning step, and a decorative element is provided on the positioning step.

[0018] In one optional implementation, the pointer structure includes: A first pointer, detachably mounted on the top of the decorative body, comprises two pointer heads with an included angle between them.

[0019] In one optional implementation, the pointer structure further includes: The second pointer is detachably mounted on the mounting base. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a visual interactive toy is provided, combined with... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes a fixed base 1, an actuating mechanism 2, a turntable 3, and a pointer structure 5. The actuating mechanism 2 is mounted on the fixed base 1. The turntable 3 is connected to the output end of the actuating mechanism 2 and rotates under the drive of the actuating mechanism 2. The surface of the turntable 3 is divided into multiple sub-regions 31. More specifically, the outer wall surface of the turntable 3 is divided into multiple sub-regions 31. The pointer structure 5 is mounted on the fixed base 1 and points to at least one sub-region 31 of the turntable 3.

[0025] The aforementioned visual interactive toy solves the problems of existing interactive toys where the rotating cylinder is placed inside the shell, making it impossible for users to intuitively observe the overall rotation process and resulting in an indirect visual display. It also addresses the issue of the lack of area indicator structures, making it difficult to accurately determine the area the cylinder points to after rotation. Specifically, by exposing the rotating disc 3, users can intuitively observe the overall rotation process of the disc 3 driven by the actuating mechanism 2, enhancing the visual display effect during interaction and effectively increasing user attention and stimulating their desire to explore. Simultaneously, the pointer structure 5 clearly points to at least one sub-area 31 after the disc 3 rotates, facilitating clear and accurate judgment of the disc 3's area orientation by the user, thus improving the toy's interactive experience and ease of use.

[0026] In some embodiments, the actuating mechanism 2 includes a fixed disk 24, an actuating lever 21, a rotating wheel 23, and a drive lever 22.

[0027] The fixed plate 24 is mounted on the fixed base 1. Specifically, a cover plate 25 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 24, and the cover plate 25 is connected to the fixed base 1 by a buckle 251.

[0028] One end of the lever 21 extends into the fixed base 1, and the other end of the lever 21 extends out of the fixed base 1. The middle part of the lever 21 is rotatably disposed inside the fixed base 1.

[0029] The rotating wheel 23 is rotatably mounted on the fixed disk 24 and coaxially connected to the turntable 3. More specifically, a fixed shaft 32 is provided at the center of the turntable 3, and the turntable 3 is connected to the rotating wheel 23 through the fixed shaft 32.

[0030] The drive rod 22 is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 24. One end of the drive rod 22 abuts against the actuating rod 21 and moves under the drive of the actuating rod 21. The other end of the drive rod 22 meshes with the rotating wheel 23 and drives the rotating wheel 23 to rotate. More specifically, the drive rod 22 includes a first rod body 211, a second rod body 212, and a rotating shaft 213. The first rod body 211 and the second rod body 212 are connected and arranged at a certain angle. The rotating shaft 213 is located at the junction of the first rod body 211 and the second rod body 212 and is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, when a person presses the end of the lever 21 that extends from the fixed base 1, the other end of the lever 21 will drive the drive rod 22 to move linearly. Since the drive rod 22 meshes with the rotating wheel 23, the linear movement of the drive rod 22 is converted into the rotational movement of the rotating wheel 23, and the rotating wheel 23 can drive the turntable 3 to rotate.

[0032] A drive rod receiving area 241 is vertically provided on the fixed plate 24, and a limiting post 244 is provided on the drive rod receiving area 241. The drive rod 22 includes a limiting part 221 and a rack part 223. Small teeth are provided on the side wall of the rack part 223. A limiting hole 222 is provided on the limiting part 221, and the limiting post 244 is disposed in the limiting hole 222. The limiting part 221 is slidably disposed in the drive rod receiving area 241 and is limited by the limiting post 244 when sliding. That is, the limiting hole 222 is an elongated hole. When the drive rod 22 moves linearly upward or downward, it is limited by the limiting post 244 to prevent the drive rod 22 from sliding excessively.

[0033] The fixed disk 24 is provided with a gear receiving hole 42, and the rotating wheel 23 is rotatably disposed in the gear receiving hole 42 through a bearing. The rotating wheel 23 is a gear and meshes with the rack part 223.

[0034] The fixed plate 24 is also provided with a return spring receiving area 243, and a return spring 26 is provided in the return spring receiving area 243. One end of the return spring 26 abuts against the end of the rack portion 223. More specifically, the return spring 26 is sleeved on the spring positioning post 224 provided at the end of the rack portion 223, and the other end of the return spring 26 abuts against the inner wall of the return spring receiving area 243. In this embodiment, when a person presses the lever 21, the drive rod 22 will press the return spring 26 upward; when the person stops pressing the lever 21, the drive rod 22 moves downward under the action of the return spring 26 and eventually returns to the initial position.

[0035] The return spring 26 is positioned and fixed by the return spring receiving area 243, and the spring positioning post 224 acts as a guide to ensure that the return spring 26 is not prone to displacement or falling off during compression and rebound, thus improving structural stability. At the same time, the elastic characteristics of the return spring 26 are used to realize the automatic reset function of the drive rod 22, which simplifies the user's operation steps, eliminates the need for manual reset, enhances the convenience and smoothness of the toy, and improves the user experience.

[0036] More specifically, the small teeth on the rack portion 223 are divided into a first tooth and a second tooth, with the first tooth located above the second tooth, and an interval region formed between the first tooth and the second tooth.

[0037] By setting the first and second teeth alternately, segmented driving of the rotating wheel 23 is achieved: when the lever 21 is pressed, the drive rod 22 moves upward under the drive of the lever 21, and the first tooth of the rack portion 223 meshes with the rotating wheel 23 to drive the rotating wheel 23 to rotate for the first time; subsequently, the spaced area is opposite to the rotating wheel 23 but does not contact it, and the rotating wheel 23 continues to rotate under inertia; when the second tooth of the rack portion 223 moves with the drive rod 22 and meshes with the rotating wheel 23, it drives the rotating wheel 23 to rotate faster again, effectively extending the rotation time of the turntable 3, enhancing the dynamic visual effect and interactive fun of the rotation process, and enriching the user's operating experience.

[0038] In some embodiments, the turntable 3 is disposed on the side of the fixed base 1, and the turntable 3 is vertically arranged. In this embodiment, the turntable 3 is arranged vertically on the side of the fixed base 1, which can effectively save lateral space, making the overall structure of the toy more compact. At the same time, the vertical layout makes it easier for users to intuitively observe the sub-area 31 on the turntable 3 from the front, thus improving the interactive experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, the top of the fixing base 1 is provided with a positioning step 13, and a decorative body 4 is provided on the positioning step 13. More specifically, the bottom end of the decorative body 4 is provided with a positioning groove, and the positioning groove of the decorative body 4 is positioned on the positioning step 13. The decorative body 4 can have various shapes, such as being shaped like a bear.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pointer structure 5 includes a first pointer 51. The first pointer 51 is detachably disposed at the top of the decorative body 4. The first pointer 51 includes two pointer heads with an included angle between them. Both pointer heads can indicate a sub-area 31 on the turntable 3, and the area between the two pointer heads can also be used as an indication area. That is, the indication area is observed to coincide with a certain sub-area 31 on the turntable 3, and the sub-area 31 is used as a toy display area.

[0041] The pointer structure 5 also includes a second pointer 52, which is detachably mounted on the mounting base 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, decorative elements 6 may also be provided on the decorative body 4 and the fixing base 1. The decorative elements 6 may be in the shape of a "gold ingot" or a "copper coin".

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, which are detachably connected by screws.

[0044] The specific usage method of the above-mentioned toy is as follows: The user presses the end of the lever 21 extending from the fixed base 1. The pressing action drives the drive rod 22 to move upward and compress the return spring 26. At this time, the drive rod 22 drives the rotating wheel 23 to rotate, thereby causing the coaxially connected turntable 3 to rotate synchronously. After releasing the lever 21, the drive rod 22 automatically returns to its original position under the elastic force of the return spring 26, and the turntable 3 stops rotating. The user can determine the area pointing result by observing the sub-area 31 of the turntable 3 pointed to by the pointer structure 5.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
