Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] There seems to be a formatting issue in the original text where the tag [Figure 7] is not properly formatted in the English translation. It's left as [Figure 7] in the translation. Please check the original text for accuracy. Also, the tag in the original has an incorrect formatting in the English translation as <00001?9>. It should be . (exterior) Figure 1 is a perspective view of the toy turntable 100 according to an embodiment, and Figure 2 is a plan view of the toy turntable 100 showing it in use. That is the case. The toy turntable 100 comprises a short cylindrical body 10. The main body 10 is provided with a large-diameter turntable (the first turntable as defined in the claim) 11 and a small-diameter turntable (the second turntable as defined in the claim) 12 positioned at an eccentric location within the large-diameter turntable 11. The small-diameter turntable 12 has a locking portion 12a. The locking portion 12a has a U-shaped notch 12b, which locks the front axle of the toy car 50, holding the toy car 50 in a predetermined orientation. At this time, the rear wheels of the toy car 50 are on the large-diameter turntable 11.

[0019] The large-diameter turntable 11 rotates counterclockwise in a plan view. The large-diameter turntable 11 rotates in one direction, but occasionally stops rotating and then rotates again in the same direction. While the large-diameter turntable 11 is rotating, the small-diameter turntable 12 does not rotate on its axis but only revolves around. The front end of the toy car 50 is pointed towards the direction of rotation of the large-diameter turntable 11. This creates the illusion that the toy car 50 is cornering as the large-diameter turntable 11 rotates.

[0020] Furthermore, the small-diameter turntable 12 rotates within the range described later, either clockwise or counterclockwise, only while the large-diameter turntable 11 is stopped rotating. At this time, the rear wheels of the toy car 50, which is riding on the large-diameter turntable 11, slip relative to the large-diameter turntable 11. The direction of rotation of the small-diameter turntable 12 changes each time the large-diameter turntable 11 stops rotating. This rotation of the small-diameter turntable 12 creates the illusion that the toy car 50 is performing a tire drift.

[0021] Furthermore, the large-diameter turntable 11 has mist discharge holes 11a. Mist is released from these mist discharge holes 11a for a predetermined time when the large-diameter turntable 11 stops. This creates the illusion that the toy car 50 is emitting white smoke due to tire friction or kicking up dust due to tire drift. The following describes the details of this toy turntable 100.

[0022] Exterior Design As shown in Figure 1, the main unit 10 is equipped with a control panel 13 that is shaped like a short cylinder and has a rectangular slope that slopes downwards towards the front. The control panel 13 is equipped with a power switch 14 and a start switch 15. Furthermore, the top surface of the main body 10 is flat, and a large-diameter turntable 11 and a small-diameter turntable 12 are provided there. The small-diameter turntable 12 is provided at an eccentric location within the large-diameter turntable 11.

[0023] Internal structure Figure 3 is a perspective view of the toy turntable 100, showing some of its components disassembled. As shown in the figure, the toy turntable 100 has a main body 10, a table unit 20, a cylindrical gear body 21, a sprayer tank 31, and an annular water receiving container 23 assembled to it.

[0024] The table unit 20 integrates a large-diameter turntable 11, a small-diameter turntable 12, and their surrounding components.

[0025] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the table unit 20 with the top plate 20a separated, and Figure 5 is a perspective view of the lower frame 20b with the surrounding components assembled. The table unit 20 comprises a top plate 20a that constitutes the large-diameter turntable 11, and a lower frame 20b and a middle plate 20c that fix peripheral components of the large-diameter turntables 11 and 12.

[0026] (Bottom frame 20b) A circular opening 22a is formed in the center of the lower frame 20b. The edge of the opening 22a is an annular projection 22b that surrounds the opening 22a. The annular projection 22b is hollow, and below it is an annular recess (not shown). The upper part of a cylindrical gear body 21, which has annular gears 21a and 21b formed on its upper and lower sides, fits into the annular recess. A portion of the upper annular gear 21a of the cylindrical gear body 21 is exposed through a notch 22c formed in the outer wall of the annular projection 22b.

[0027] (Mist passage 24) Furthermore, the lower frame 20b has a lower passage portion 24a which constitutes the lower half of the mist passage 24. This lower passage portion 24a extends from the inside to the outside of the annular protrusion 22b, and the floor of the lower passage portion 24a slopes downward from the outside to the inside of the annular protrusion 22b. A drain hole 24c is formed in the floor of this lower passage portion 24a, just inside the annular protrusion 22b. The drain hole 24c is located above the water receiving portion 23b, which will be described later.

[0028] (Rotation switching mechanism 25) Figure 6 is a downward perspective view of the rotation switching mechanism 25. Between the lower frame 20b and the middle plate 20c, a rotation switching mechanism 25 is provided at a position outside the annular protrusion 22b. The rotation switching mechanism 25 is composed of a planetary gear mechanism. The planetary gear mechanism comprises one sun gear 25a, two planetary gears 25b and 25c that revolve around the sun gear 25a, and a planetary carrier 25d that connects the sun gear 25a and the planetary gears 25b and 25c.

[0029] The sun gear 25a meshes with the annular gear 21a on the upper side of the cylindrical gear body 21. The sun gear 25a is mounted on the rotating shaft 25e so as to be able to rotate freely. The upper end of the rotating shaft 25e has a fitting portion 25f with a regular hexagonal cross-section. The fitting portion 25f fits into a recess (not shown) below the small-diameter turntable 12, thereby fixing the small-diameter turntable 12 to the rotating shaft 25e. Furthermore, a planetary carrier 25d is fixedly attached to the rotating shaft 25e, bent into a V-shape. As the planetary gears 25b and 25c revolve around the sun gear 25a, the planetary carrier 25d rotates around the rotating shaft 25e, causing the small-diameter turntable 12 to rotate in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the planetary carrier 25d. In other words, the small-diameter turntable 12 moves within the orbital range of the planetary gears 25b and 25c (the rotational range of the planetary carrier 25d), in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the planetary carrier 25d. The orbital range of the planetary gears 25b and 25b is the range of grooves 25j and 25k into which the shafts of the planetary gears 25b and 25b engage, and the small-diameter turntable rotates within this range.

[0030] The rotation switching mechanism 25 also includes a first output gear 25g that can mesh with the planetary gear 25b, an intermediate gear 25h that can mesh with the planetary gear 25c, and a second output gear 25i that is always meshed with the intermediate gear 25h. The first output gear 25g and the second output gear 25i partially protrude from the notch 22d of the lower frame 20b and mesh with internal teeth 26a (Figure 3) formed on the inner surface of the annular fixed wall 26 surrounding the table unit 20.

[0031] (Operation of rotation switching mechanism 25) A. Large diameter turntable 11 When the sun gear 25a rotates clockwise in a plan view, the planetary gear 25b meshes with the first output gear 25g, causing the first output gear 25g to rotate clockwise in a plan view and roll over the internal teeth 26a. As a result, the large-diameter turntable 11 rotates counterclockwise in a plan view. Meanwhile, when the sun gear 25a rotates counterclockwise in a plan view, the planetary gear 25c meshes with the intermediate gear 25h, and the second output gear 25i rotates clockwise in a plan view and rolls over the internal teeth 26a. As a result, the large-diameter turntable 11 rotates counterclockwise in a plan view.

[0032] B. Small diameter turntable 12 Since the sun gear 25a is allowed to rotate freely on the rotating shaft 25e, the small-diameter turntable 12, which is fixed to the rotating shaft 25e, does not rotate even when the sun gear 25a rotates. The small-diameter turntable 12 rotates only when the rotating shaft 25e, which fixes the small-diameter turntable 12, rotates. Since the rotation axis 25e is fixed to the planetary carrier 25d, it rotates only when the planetary carrier 25d rotates. In other words, the rotating shaft 25e rotates only when the planetary carrier 25d rotates as the planetary gears 25b and 25c change their meshing relationship. Specifically, when the sun gear 25a changes direction of rotation, the rotation axis 25e rotates only while the planetary gears 25b and 25c revolve around the sun gear 25a. The direction of rotation of the small-diameter turntable 12 corresponds to the direction of rotation of the sun gear 25a.

[0033] (Other parts) A gear 27 is provided on the lower frame 20b at a location opposite the rotation switching mechanism 25, with the center in between. A portion of the gear 27 protrudes from a notch 22e in the lower frame 20b. This gear 27 meshes with the internal teeth 26a of the annular fixed wall 26 (Figure 3). This gear 27 meshes with the internal teeth 26a simultaneously with the first output gear 25g and the second output gear 25i, thereby causing the lower frame 20b and, consequently, the table unit 20, to rotate stably around a predetermined axis.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the lower frame 20b is provided with three rollers 28a, 28b, and 28c spaced equally apart in the circumferential direction. These three rollers 28a, 28b, and 28c roll on the floor 10b (Figure 3) beneath the table unit 20, allowing the table unit 20 to rotate smoothly.

[0035] (Middle plate 20cm) Figure 7 is a downward perspective view of the middle plate 20c. The middle plate 20c, together with the lower frame 20b, serves to secure the surrounding components. In the center of the middle plate 20c, a ceiling 29 is formed that covers the area above the mist outlet 23a (Figure 10), which will be described later. The ceiling 29 is formed in a roughly semi-domed shape. The reason for making the ceiling 29 roughly semi-domed is that when the mist that hits the ceiling 29 turns into water droplets, these water droplets will drip downward along the ceiling 29 and be collected in the annular water receiving container 23. For this reason, the lower edge of the curved ceiling 29 is located above the annular water receiving container 23.

[0036] Furthermore, the middle plate 20c has an upper passage portion 24b which forms the upper half of the mist passage 24 that connects to the ceiling 29. The upper passage portion 24b combines with the lower passage portion 24a to form the mist passage 24.

[0037] (Top plate 20a) Figure 8 is a downward perspective view of the top panel 20a. The top plate 20a constitutes the large-diameter turntable 11. The edges of the top plate 20a are chamfered and slightly curved downwards. The top plate 20a is joined to the lower frame 20b by screws (not shown). A conduit 20d is formed on the underside of the top plate 20a, which is connected to the mist passage 24 and sends mist to the discharge hole 11a.

[0038] <Sprayer 30> Figure 9 is an exploded perspective view of the sprayer 30. The main body 10 is equipped with a sprayer 30 that generates mist by ultrasonic vibration. The sprayer 30 is equipped with a tank 31 that stores water which is the source of the mist. The top lid 31a of the tank 31 has a circular hole 31c into which the upper part of a cylindrical water-absorbing body 31b is inserted from below. Furthermore, the top lid 31a has an arc-shaped water-inlet hole 31d for pouring water in. Meanwhile, the tank 31 is equipped with a cylindrical water-absorbing body 31b and a spring 31e that biases the water-absorbing body 31b upward. The spring 31e functions to bring the upper end of the water-absorbing body 31b into contact with the piezoelectric element 32, which will be described later. As shown in Figure 10, the tank 31 is configured to be detachably attached to a recess 10c provided on the lower surface of the main body 10.

[0039] Figure 11 is a perspective view illustrating the installation structure of the piezoelectric element 32. The sprayer 30 is equipped with a piezoelectric element 32, which is separate from the tank 31. The piezoelectric element 32 is fixed to the floor 10d that forms the ceiling of the recess 10c. When the tank 31 is installed in the recess 10c, the upper end of the water-absorbing body 31b contacts the lower surface of the piezoelectric element 32 through the hole 10e in the ceiling.

[0040] <Water receiving container 23> Figure 12 is a perspective view of the water receiving container 23, and Figure 13 is a downward perspective view of the water receiving container 23. An annular water receiving container 23 is fixed on top of the piezoelectric element 32. The water receiving section 23b of the water receiving container 23 is divided horizontally by a cylindrical outer wall and an inner wall. The cylindrical inner wall constitutes the spray nozzle 23a. The spray nozzle 23a prevents the mist formed by the sprayer 30 from spreading and guides the mist toward the ceiling. A water passage hole 23c is formed in the floor of the water receiving section 23b, and a water passage pipe 23d is attached to the underside of the floor, communicating with the water passage hole 23c. The water accumulated in the water receiving section 23b is collected in the tank 31 through this water passage pipe 23d.

[0041] <Cylindrical gear body 21> A cylindrical gear body 21 is provided on the outside of the water receiving container 23, surrounding the water receiving container 23. The cylindrical gear body 21 acts as an intermediary, transmitting power from the power unit 40 (described later) to the table unit 20. External annular gears 21a and 21b are formed on the upper and lower outer circumferences of the cylindrical gear body 21. The lower annular gear 21b meshes with the output gear 42i of the power unit 40. On the other hand, the upper annular gear 21a meshes with the sun gear 25a as described above.

[0042] <Power plant 40> Figure 14 is a perspective view showing the components of the power unit 40 and the cylindrical gear body 21. The power unit 40 includes a motor 41 that can rotate in both forward and reverse directions, and a power transmission mechanism 42 that transmits power from the motor 41. The power transmission mechanism 42 includes a small pulley 42a, a belt 42b, a large pulley 42c, and gears 42d to 42i attached to the motor as rotating elements.

[0043] The small pulley 42a, belt 42b, and large pulley 42c constitute a winding drive mechanism. Gear 42d is an integral gear with the large pulley 42c, and gear 42e is a crown gear that meshes with gear 42d and changes the direction of rotation. Gear 42f is an integral gear with gear 42e, and gear 42g is a gear that meshes with gear 42f. Gear 42h is a gear provided coaxially with gear 42g via a sliding clutch mechanism (not shown), and meshes with the output gear 42i. The operating device includes the power unit 40, the cylindrical gear body 21, and the rotation switching mechanism 25, among others.

[0044] Functional Configuration The toy turntable 100 comprises a storage unit and a control unit as its main functional components.

[0045] The memory unit is equipped with a storage device that allows data to be written to and read, such as flash memory. This memory unit stores the program for the operation of the toy turntable 100 and the data necessary for executing that program.

[0046] The control unit also comprises a microcontroller unit and peripheral circuits. The control unit reads each program from the memory unit and performs processing and control according to each program.

[0047] The toy turntable 100 also includes, for example, a detection unit that detects the operation of a start switch or a mode switching switch provided on the main body 10. Signals from these detection units are sent to the control unit, which controls the operation of the motor 41 and the piezoelectric element 32 based on these signals. Control of the motor 41 includes controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 41, controlling the rotation time, controlling the switching timing between forward and reverse rotation, and controlling the switching speed between forward and reverse rotation. For example, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control is used for these controls. Control of the piezoelectric element 32 includes controlling the spraying timing and spraying duration.

[0048] (Effects of the embodiment) The toy turntable 100 configured as described above can provide the following effects.

[0049] First, since a small-diameter turntable 12 is provided at an eccentric point within the large-diameter turntable 11, it becomes possible to move toys placed on the small-diameter turntable 12 in various ways. In other words, since not only the rotation but also the revolution of the small-diameter turntable 12 can be utilized, the movement becomes more complex, resulting in a highly entertaining toy turntable.

[0050] Furthermore, since the small-diameter turntable 12 operates at a different timing than the rotation of the large-diameter turntable 11, it is possible to make the toy perform surprising actions, for example, when a toy is placed on the small-diameter turntable 12.

[0051] Furthermore, the large-diameter turntable 11 rotates in one direction regardless of the forward or reverse rotation of the motor 41 and pauses rotation when the forward or reverse rotation is switched, while the small-diameter turntable 12 rotates within a predetermined range in a direction corresponding to the switching mode when the forward or reverse rotation of the motor 41 is switched, thus enabling the toy to perform novel and unprecedented movements.

[0052] Furthermore, by using a rotation switching mechanism 25 including a planetary gear mechanism and a single motor 41, it is possible to provide society with an innovative mechanism that allows the large-diameter turntable 11 to rotate in one direction regardless of the forward or reverse rotation of the motor 41, and to pause rotation when switching between forward and reverse rotation, while the small-diameter turntable 12 rotates within a predetermined range in a direction corresponding to the switching mode when switching between forward and reverse rotation of the motor 41.

[0053] The small-diameter turntable 12 is equipped with a locking mechanism for securing toys, so toys can be held stably on the small-diameter turntable 12.

[0054] Since the locking portion 12a has a U-shaped notch 12b that opens upward, toys having a locking portion corresponding to this U-shaped notch can be easily locked in place.

[0055] Since the toy used is a wheeled toy car (model 50), it can recreate the driving and tire drifting of the toy car (model 50).

[0056] Furthermore, the device is equipped with a sprayer 30, and a discharge hole 11a is formed in the large-diameter turntable 11. Mist is released onto the large-diameter turntable 11 from the discharge hole 11a, so that the toy car 50 can be made to look like it is kicking up dust.

[0057] A mist outlet 23a for the sprayer 30 is formed at the lower center of the large-diameter turntable 11, and a discharge hole 11a is formed at an eccentric location on the large-diameter turntable 11. Furthermore, the large-diameter turntable 11 is provided with a mist passage 24 that guides the mist from the mist outlet 23a to the discharge hole 11a. Therefore, even when the large-diameter turntable 11 is rotated, mist can be released from the mist discharge hole 11a at any position.

[0058] An annular water receiving section 23b is formed around the spray nozzle 30a, and the mist passage 24 is configured such that water droplets and water flowing down the mist passage 24 are separated from the mist flowing through the mist passage 24 and flow into the water receiving section 23b. This allows water droplets and water to be collected without interfering with the mist formation by the piezoelectric element 32.

[0059] Furthermore, a water passage pipe 23d is provided on the lower surface of the water receiving section 23b, which communicates with a water passage hole 23c formed in the floor of the water receiving section 23b. The water passage pipe 23d is inserted into the water inlet hole 31d of the tank 31 of the sprayer 30. For example, water poured in from the mist discharge hole 11a flows to the tank 31 through the water receiving section 23b and the water passage pipe 23d. This allows water to be replenished from the mist discharge hole 11a without removing the tank 31.

[0060] <<Example of variation>> In the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment, a toy car 50 was given as the toy, but doll toys, furniture toys, or other toys may also be used. With doll toys, the arrangement, orientation, and distance between dolls on the stage can be greatly changed, and with furniture toys, the arrangement, orientation, and distance between dolls can be greatly changed. Furthermore, the toys that can be placed on the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12 are not limited to just one type.

[0061] Furthermore, although the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment is configured to rotate the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12 electrically, they may also be rotated via a manual operating device, or the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12 may be rotated directly by hand.

[0062] Furthermore, in the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment, both the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12 are configured to rotate electrically, but one of them may be rotated manually.

[0063] Furthermore, in the toy turntable 100 of the embodiment, the surface of the large-diameter turntable 11 and the surface of the small-diameter turntable 12 were flush, but there may be a step between the surface of the large-diameter turntable 11 and the surface of the small-diameter turntable 12. Alternatively, the small-diameter turntable 12 may be provided so as to be movable in the axial direction with respect to the rotation axis 25e, and vertical movement may be applied by a cam.

[0064] Furthermore, in the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment, the axis of the large-diameter turntable 11 and the axis of the small-diameter turntable 12 were parallel. However, bevel gears or the like may be provided in the gears linked to the rotating shaft 25e to change the orientation of the axes of the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12.

[0065] Furthermore, in the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment, the locking portion 12a has a U-shaped notch 12b, but the locking portion 12a may be a recess into which a toy fits, or it may be a magnet or other structure that fixes the toy by magnetic force.

[0066] Furthermore, in the toy turntable 100 of this embodiment, the operating device is configured to rotate the small-diameter turntable 12 when the large-diameter turntable 11 stops rotating. However, by providing, for example, a gear with missing teeth in the operating device, the large-diameter turntable 11 and the small-diameter turntable 12 may be rotated at different timings.
