[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of toy ball technologies, and in particular, to a rotatable sensory ball.BACKGROUND

[0003] Toy balls usually refer to a small, circular ball body used for entertainment, gaming, or educational purposes. They are usually made of soft materials such as rubber, plastic, fabric, etc., and they are designed to be both safe and suitable for children or pets to use.

[0004] At present, most toy balls on the market are made of rubber material with certain flexibility and elasticity, and they are suitable for children and pets to use. In order to meet the growing demand of consumers, many toy balls have added diverse fun elements on the basis of traditional design, especially in terms of appearance, with many innovations. For example, the surface of the ball body may be painted with bright colors, unique patterns, or designed in cute cartoon shapes, aimed at attracting the attention of children and pets and enhancing visual appeal. This change in appearance undoubtedly increases the fun of the toy ball, but overall, the design is still relatively traditional, focusing mainly on the beauty of the appearance and simple interactive functions, lacking more innovation and deep sensory experience. This allows for the design of a rotatable sensory ball that is different from traditional toy balls.SUMMARY

[0011] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a magnet is provided in the rotating bodies, and the magnet and the screw member magnetically attract each other to form the magnetic attraction member.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the rotating bodies is provided with a protruding flexible protrusion layer on an outer surface layer.

[0013] Compared with existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows.

[0014] The design core of this rotatable sensory ball lies in the assembly of stacked rotating bodies, utilizing the magnetic effect of reset nodes to enable the stacked rotating bodies to stably form a complete spherical shape and maintain their structural stability; at the same time, by setting the nodes of adjacent rotating bodies at positions offset from the axis, adjacent rotating bodies can rotate around their respective axes, thereby adding interactivity and fun to the ball body.

[0021] In the present disclosure, unless specified regulation and limitation, terms “installation”, “connection to”, “connection with”, “fixation”, etc. should be broadly understood, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be a connection within two components or an interaction relationship between two components. For those skilled in the art, specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific situation.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art belonging to this present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of this present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and / or” used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0023] Further explanation will be provided below, referring to FIGS. 1-5 and specific embodiments.

[0024] A rotatable sensory ball includes a ball body 2 composed of several rotating bodies 1 that are stacked vertically, and a rotating component 3 arranged between adjacent stacked rotating bodies 1; the rotating bodies 1 can achieve a relative rotational motion between the rotating bodies 1 through the rotating component 3 between them; the rotating component 3 includes a winding column member 4 connected between the rotating bodies 1. The winding column member 4 is located at a position where the two rotating bodies 1 deviate from the axis. The two adjacent stacked rotating bodies 1 can perform a circumferential rotation around the winding column member 4, and at another node relative to the winding column member 4, the adjacent stacked rotating bodies 1 are equipped with magnetic attraction members that mutually attract each other. This node is a reset node 5.

[0025] This structure is mainly composed of at least two rotating bodies 1 and the rotating component 3. Through reasonable assembly, it can form a magnetically stable ball body 2 and the interesting feature of adjacent connected rotating bodies 1 being able to rotate relative to each other.

[0026] In an implantation mode, there are two rotating bodies 1, the winding column member 4 between an upper rotating body 1 and a lower rotating body 1 is arranged at a position where the two rotating bodies 1 deviate from the axis. The two adjacent stacked rotating bodies 1 can perform a circumferential rotation around the winding column member 4, and at another node relative to the winding column member 4, the adjacent stacked rotating bodies 1 are equipped with magnetic attraction members (which can be two magnets arranged in the upper and lower rotating bodies 1) that mutually attract each other. This node is the reset node 5, that is, under normal circumstances, the two rotating bodies 1 are in the shape of a ball body 2 supported by the magnetic attraction members and the two support points of the winding column member. During use, only external force (held by hand) needs to be applied to side walls of the rotating bodies 1, the two magnets are caused to detach and the two rotating bodies 1 to perform a relative circumferential rotation relative to the winding column member.

[0027] In an implementation mode, a goal is to further improve the rotational extension of the ball body 2 by stacking rotating bodies 1, such as three, four, five, etc., to make it more interesting. In an implementation mode, there are three rotating bodies 1, and the rotatable sensory ball includes three sets of first rotating sheet 6, second rotating sheet 7, and third rotating sheet 8, when the first rotating sheet 6 and the second rotating sheet 7 are connected by the winding column member 4. At the reset node 5, the second rotating sheet 7 and the third rotating sheet 8 are also equipped with the winding column member 4. At another node relative to the winding column member 4, the second rotating sheet 7 and the third rotating sheet 8, which are stacked vertically adjacent to each other, are equipped with magnetic attraction members. This node is the other reset node 5, that is a connection method between the first rotating sheet 6 and the second rotating sheet 7 (i.e. an installation point of the rotating component 3 between the first rotating sheet 6 and the second rotating sheet 7 and the magnetic attraction reset node 5) and the connection method between the second rotating sheet 7 and the third rotating sheet 8 (i.e. an installation point of the rotating component 3 between the second rotating sheet 7 and the third rotating sheet 8 with the magnetic reset node 5) are assembled in a staggered manner. Thus, the scalability of the rotating ball body 2 can be achieved.

[0028] Similarly, in the assembly of multiple groups of rotating bodies 1 such as four groups and five groups, the staggered assembly method is also set up and added as in the above embodiment.

[0029] In terms of assembly of the winding column member 4, an end of the winding column member 4 is provided with a head threaded portion, which is connected to a threaded portion through a screw member 9, thereby firmly connecting the upper and lower rotating bodies 1 together. The rotating body 1 is provided with a concave accommodation part 10 for accommodating the screw member 9. The screw member 9 can be selected as cross screw member 9 for easy assembly and disassembly operations. By connecting with the threaded end of the winding column member 4, the stability of the rotating body 1 can be ensured, while leaving a certain gap to avoid excessive tightening, allowing the rotating body 1 to perform a flexible circumferential rotation around the winding column member 4. In addition, using this assembly method, when multiple sets of rotating bodies 1 are added, stable and convenient mutual assembly can also be achieved, ensuring the stability and interactivity of the entire structure of the ball body 2.

[0030] For another way of magnetic attraction between adjacent rotating bodies 1, a magnet can be directly provided in the rotating body 1, and the magnet and screw member 9 can magnetically attract each other to form a magnetic attraction component, and each rotating body 1 is provided with a protruding flexible protrusion layer 11 (specifically a rubber protrusion layer) on an outer surface, which not only visually attracts attention and forms a unique appearance design, but also brings rich tactile experience. The flexible protrusion layer 11 can provide a user with a more comfortable grip, while increasing friction, rendering the rotating bodies 1 more stable during rotation and effectively enhancing the tactile stimulation during interaction. This design not only enhances the playability of the rotatable sensory ball but also enhances its entertainment and attractiveness through the dual effects of visual and tactile senses, improving the overall user experience.

[0031] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
