Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of music player technology, specifically to a rotatable automatic music player. Background Technology
[0002] With the maturity and widespread adoption of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, its application in interactive devices is becoming increasingly widespread. This technology typically involves attaching an NFC tag to a specific item or card. Users simply bring the tag close to a reader (sensing area) to trigger a preset function, such as playing an audio clip, opening a webpage, or executing a command, creating an intuitive "touch-and-respond" interactive experience. Currently, this technology has been applied to smart toys, interactive books, and some desktop decorations.
[0003] However, existing NFC-based interactive devices often have relatively simple and static interaction modes. A common approach is that each individual card or tag corresponds to a unique trigger, requiring users to find and change different physical cards to select different content. While intuitive, this method lacks the continuous, integrated enjoyment of physical manipulation, and managing multiple tags is cumbersome. On the other hand, the market offers numerous physical calendar ornaments with manual adjustment functions, as well as various music playback devices, but few products deeply and cleverly combine NFC's dynamic triggering mechanism with physical manual rotation. Specifically, how can a continuous, visible physical rotation action be used to continuously and selectively trigger a series of different digital contents (such as music), seamlessly connecting the ritualistic feel of physical manipulation with the richness of digital content?
[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotatable automatic music player.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A rotatable automatic music player includes a housing, which consists of a back panel, a main panel, and side panels. An NFC-sensitive music template is fixedly installed inside the housing. A front panel is fixedly installed on the main panel by multiple cylindrical pins. A music selection ring is installed on the cylindrical pin at the center of the main panel and the front panel. Several NFC-sensitive stickers are evenly affixed to the music selection ring at a certain distance from its center.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple inner rings are also installed on the cylindrical pin at the center of the main panel and the front panel. The multiple inner rings include inner ring one, inner ring two and inner ring three. Ring one represents the date, with numbers 1-31 evenly arranged at a certain distance from the center. Inner ring two represents the day of the week, with text from Monday to Sunday evenly arranged at a certain distance from the center. Inner ring three represents the month, with text from January to December evenly arranged at a certain distance from the center. Multiple corresponding display windows are opened on the front panel according to the information displayed by different inner rings.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a rotating flange is provided at the outer edge of the inner ring, and the rotating flange is marked with a mark corresponding to the inner ring model number.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the NFC sensing music template includes a control motherboard, which is connected to an NFC sensing board, a rechargeable lithium battery, a speaker, and a control switch via wires.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention: each inner ring is separated from the other by a gasket, and all inner rings can rotate independently.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two metal support columns are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the back panel.
[0012] This invention creatively integrates the physical adjustment function of a physical calendar with the NFC-triggered digital music playback function. By integrating multiple NFC-sensitive stickers onto a rotatable "music selection ring," users can continuously and intuitively switch between and trigger the playback of different pre-stored songs simply by rotating the ring. This seamlessly combines traditional manual operation with modern wireless sensing technology, providing a unique interactive experience that is both ritualistic and fun, breaking through the limitations of traditional desktop ornaments that are functionally singular and have monotonous interactions.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a rotatable automatic music player. The device includes a housing 1, which comprises a back panel 11, a main panel 12, and a side panel 13. An NFC-enabled music sensor 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The NFC-enabled music sensor 2 includes a control motherboard 21, which is electrically connected to a storage unit, a TYPE-C interface, etc. The storage unit stores music data and control programs. The control motherboard 21 is connected via wires to an NFC sensor board 22, a rechargeable lithium battery 23, a speaker 24, a control switch 25, an optional light strip, and an optional volume control switch, etc. It should be noted that the NFC-enabled music sensor 2 is existing technology and can be directly obtained through relevant shopping platforms; therefore, its specific principle is not the main content of this application and will not be described in detail. It should be noted that a speaker port 110 and a control switch port are provided on the back panel 11 of the housing 1. A slot corresponding to the TYPE-C interface is provided on the side panel 13.
[0017] The front panel 3 is fixedly installed on the main panel 12 by cylindrical pins 4. Specifically, the main panel 12 has one mounting hole at its center point and several other mounting holes symmetrical about the center point. Each mounting hole has a bolt passing through it from the inside to the outside, and a cylindrical pin 4 is threaded onto the bolt part on its outside. The front panel 3 also has mounting holes corresponding to the main panel 12. The other end of each cylindrical pin 4 is fixedly installed on the front panel 3 by bolts. Multiple inner rings are installed on the cylindrical pin 4 at the center of the main panel 12 and the front panel 3. Each inner ring is separated by a washer. The multiple inner rings can rotate independently. According to the different functions of each inner ring, they are specifically divided into inner ring one 51, inner ring two 52, inner ring three 53, and inner ring four.
[0018] The inner circle 51 represents the date, and the numbers 1-31 are evenly arranged at certain intervals around the center.
[0019] The inner circle 2.52 represents the days of the week, with the words Monday to Sunday evenly arranged at certain intervals around the center. The inner circle 353 represents the month, and the characters for the months one through twelve are evenly spaced around the center. The inner ring 4 is a music selection ring 50. Several NFC sensing stickers 6 are evenly affixed at certain intervals around the center of the inner ring 4. Each NFC sensing sticker 6 is pre-written with different song information. It should be noted that the specific position of the NFC sensing sticker 6 corresponds to the position of the NFC sensing board 22 installed inside the box 1. When the inner ring 4 rotates, the NFC sensing stickers 6 can rotate and pass through the NFC sensing board 22 in turn. The purpose of this is that when the user rotates the inner ring 4, the song information pre-written on the NFC sensing stickers 6 can be activated, thereby activating the NFC sensing music template 2 to play different music.
[0020] The front panel 3 has multiple corresponding display windows 32 on its surface, each displaying information in a different inner ring.
[0021] It should be noted that the front panel 3 can be made of materials such as plastic or acrylic glass, and the front panel 3 may be covered with stickers to enhance its appearance. The display window 32 may be grooved or transparent depending on the specific situation.
[0022] Additionally, it should be noted that since multiple inner rings are stacked and installed on the cylindrical pin 4 at the center of the main panel 12 and the front panel 3, to prevent the upper inner ring from obscuring the information of the lower inner ring, the inner rings are made of transparent material or have different diameters from top to bottom to ensure that the display window 32 of the front panel 3 can display the corresponding information.
[0023] To facilitate the rotation of each inner ring, a rotating flange 55 is provided at the outer edge of the inner ring, and the rotating flange 55 is marked with a mark corresponding to the inner ring model. The mark can be text or color patterns, etc.
[0024] When the music player described in this utility model is used as a desktop ornament, two metal support columns 7 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom of its box body 1 (or back panel 11) to support the box body 1 on the desktop and keep it in a stable standing state.
[0025] When the music player of this utility model needs to be wall-mounted, the back panel 11 can be directly fixed to the wall using standard fasteners such as screws and expansion tubes through the mounting holes (not shown in the figure).
[0026] The rotating automatic music player described in this utility model works by manually rotating a physical dial (inner ring) to trigger and control the electronic music module, thus achieving an experience that combines calendar functionality with interactive music playback.
[0027] The three inner rings (inner ring one, two, and three) are printed with the date, day of the week, and month information, respectively. By rotating the outer edge of the rotating flange 55, the user can align the desired information with the corresponding display window 32 on the front panel 3, thereby realizing the adjustment and viewing function of a physical calendar.
[0028] Multiple NFC sensing stickers 6, pre-stored with different song information, are evenly affixed to the circumference of the inner ring four (music selection ring 50). When the user rotates this inner ring, these NFC sensing stickers 6 rotate accordingly. The NFC sensing board 22, fixed inside the housing 1, is precisely installed below the rotation path of the inner ring four. When an NFC sensing sticker 6 rotates past directly above the NFC sensing board 22, the two enter the effective sensing range. Once the NFC sensing board 22 reads the specific identification information written in the NFC sensing sticker 6 passing by, it immediately sends the information to the control motherboard 21. The control program in the control motherboard 21 then retrieves the uniquely corresponding pre-stored music data from the storage unit based on this identification and drives the speaker to play the song through the audio decoding circuit. Thus, the user's action of rotating the inner ring four is directly and intuitively mapped to the operation of selecting and playing different songs, completing a closed loop from physical operation to electronic response.
[0029] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
