Description

A deformation transmitter Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of toys, and in particular relates to a deformation launcher. Background Art

[0002] Toys are the foundation for children to transform their mental processes, such as imagination and thinking, into action. Children's toys can provide material conditions for children's physical and mental development, promoting the all-round development of their physical, moral, intellectual, and aesthetic qualities. For example, launcher toys, which can fire a variety of compatible projectiles (such as spherical and cylindrical objects), are highly engaging and popular among children. However, existing launchers are typically shaped like ordinary guns. These non-transformable toy guns lack a sense of mystery for children, and children often discard them after playing with them for a while, diminishing their enjoyment. Furthermore, they can only be used as launchers, with fixed shapes and limited playability.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to design a launcher with a simple structure and a deformable structure to increase the fun of playing.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a deformable launcher, the pushing mechanism of which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the shell. When used as a launcher, the pushing mechanism can be rotated 90° so that the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism is toward the launch cavity. When used as a pretend toy, the pushing mechanism can be rotated and stored on the outer wall of the shell, so that the shape of the launcher changes, thereby increasing the playability and fun of the toy.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A deformation transmitter comprises a housing, a pushing mechanism rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the housing, and a clamping mechanism arranged on the inner wall of the housing, wherein:

[0008] The housing has a vertically extending accommodating cavity, wherein a plurality of launch elements are stacked up and down in the accommodating cavity. A delivery port is provided at the top of the accommodating cavity, and a launch cavity communicating with the accommodating cavity is provided at the bottom of the accommodating cavity. The launch cavity can accommodate one launch element.

[0009] The clamping mechanism is arranged in the launching chamber;

[0010] The shell is provided with a launching port which is in communication with the launching cavity. The pushing direction of the pushing mechanism is toward the launching cavity, so that the launching member in the launching cavity is ejected from the launching port.

[0011] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a mounting seat rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the shell and a pushing connecting rod penetrating the mounting seat and slidably connected to the mounting seat, and a spring is fixedly connected between the outer end of the pushing connecting rod and the mounting seat.

[0012] Furthermore, a first hidden groove is opened on the outer wall of the shell, the pushing mechanism is rotatably connected in the first hidden groove, and the open end of the first hidden groove is also covered with a first cover body.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the pushing mechanism is 90°.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the shell is hingedly connected to an upper cover body that matches the shape of the shell, and the upper cover body covers the top of the accommodating cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, a second hidden groove is provided on the shell at the position of the launching port, and the opening end of the second hidden groove is hingedly connected to the second cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes clamping arms fixed at opposite ends of the launch chamber, the clamping space enclosed by the two clamping arms matches the shape of the launch member, and the clamping arms are elastic clamping arms.

[0017] Furthermore, third hidden grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the lower end portion of the shell, and a gripping piece is hingedly connected in the third hidden groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the deformable transmitter has a cylindrical structure when in the retracted state.

[0020] (1) The propulsion mechanism of the transformable launcher of the present invention can be rotated 90° on the outer wall of the shell. When the toy is used as a launcher, the propulsion mechanism can be rotated 90° so that the propulsion direction of the propulsion mechanism is toward the launch chamber; when used as a pretend play toy, the propulsion mechanism can be rotated and stored on the outer wall of the shell, so that the shape of the launcher is changed, which increases the playability and fun of the toy. In addition, the overall structure of the launcher is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0021] (2) The deformable transmitter of the present invention has a first hidden groove and a second hidden groove on the shell. The pushing mechanism is hidden in the first hidden groove, and the launching port is hidden in the second hidden groove. The setting of the hidden structure not only increases the mystery of the transmitter, but also makes it easier to store.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 6 and specific embodiments.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1-6, the present invention provides a deformation launcher, including a shell 1, a pushing mechanism 2 rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, and a clamping mechanism 3 arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1, wherein: the shell 1 has a accommodating chamber 11 extending in the vertical direction, the inner diameter of the accommodating chamber 11 is adapted to the inner diameter of the launch piece (such as the bottle cap launch piece 5 and the football launch piece 6), and multiple launch pieces are stacked up and down in the accommodating chamber 11, so that the launcher has the function of continuous launch, the top of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a delivery port, and the launch piece can be replenished in the accommodating chamber 11 through the delivery port, and the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with a launch chamber 12 connected to the accommodating chamber 11, and the launch chamber 12 can accommodate a launch piece. When the launch piece in the launch chamber 12 is launched, the launch piece at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11 falls to the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11 under the action of gravity. The launcher of the present invention has a plurality of play functions. For example, when the toy is deformed and used as a launcher, the pushing mechanism 2 changes the angle so that the pushing direction is toward the launch chamber 12, and then the launcher in the launch chamber 12 can be ejected from the launching port 13. When the toy is deformed and used as a pretend play toy, the pushing mechanism 2 changes the angle so that the pushing mechanism 2 is stored in the shell 1, and it cannot be seen from the appearance that it is a gun-like toy.

[0034] It can be known that the number of launchers stacked in the accommodating cavity 11 is determined by the height of the accommodating cavity 11 and the height of the launcher. This application does not limit the specific dimensions of the accommodating cavity 11 and the launcher, and those skilled in the art can design according to the situation.

[0035] It should also be noted that the pushing mechanism 2 of the present invention can be rotated at least 90° on the shell 1, that is, it can be rotated from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, and from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction. When the pushing mechanism 2 is rotated to the horizontal direction, the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 2 is toward the launching chamber 12. At this time, the toy can be used as a launcher; when the pushing mechanism 2 is rotated to the vertical direction, it can be hidden in the shell 1 and transformed into other toys for children to play with; the deformation structure of the launcher increases the playability and fun of the toy, and the overall structure of the launcher is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the pushing mechanism 2 includes a mounting seat 21 rotatably set on the outer wall of the shell 1 and a pushing link 22 that passes through the mounting seat 21 and is slidably connected to the mounting seat 21. A spring 23 is fixedly connected between the outer end of the pushing link 22 and the mounting seat 21. When the pushing link 23 launches the launcher, the spring 23 is in a compressed state. After the launch is completed, the pushing link 22 returns to its initial position under the action of the spring 23. More specifically, the pushing connecting rod 22 includes two connecting rods 221 arranged opposite to each other and a spring mounting column 222 arranged between the two connecting rods 221. Correspondingly, the mounting seat 21 is provided with sliding holes (not shown in the figure) that match the connecting rods 221 and the spring mounting column 222 respectively, and the connecting rod 221 and the spring mounting column 222 can slide back and forth in the sliding holes; the connecting rod 221 and the spring mounting column 222 are fixedly connected to the trigger block 223 at one end located inside the shell 1, and the connecting rod 221 and the spring mounting column 222 are fixedly connected to the pushing block 224 at one end located outside the shell 1. The spring 23 is sleeved on the spring mounting column 222, one end of the spring 23 is fixed on the mounting seat 21, and the other end of the spring 23 is fixed on the pushing block 224; when the pushing block 224 is pressed inward, the spring 23 is in a compressed state, and the trigger block 224 contacts the launch member to launch the launch member. After releasing the pushing block 224, the pushing connecting rod 22 is restored to its initial position under the action of the rebound force of the spring 23.

[0037] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 and 3 , a first hidden groove 14 is defined on the outer wall of the housing 1 , into which the push mechanism 2 is rotatably connected. A first cover 15 covers the open end of the first hidden groove 14 , concealing the push mechanism 2 within the first hidden groove 15 . A second hidden groove 16 is defined on the housing 1 at the location of the launch port 13 , and a second cover 17 is hingedly connected to the open end of the second hidden groove 16 , concealing the launch port 13 within the second hidden groove 16 . The provision of the concealed structure of the present invention not only adds to the mystery of the launcher but also makes it easier to store.

[0038] Preferably, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the first hidden recess 14 includes an upper recess 141 and a lower recess 142, and the first cover 15 covers the open end of the upper recess 141. When the pushing mechanism 2 is rotated to a vertical position, the mounting seat 21 covers the lower recess 142. When viewed from the outside of the shell 1, the first cover 15 and the mounting seat 21 completely cover the first hidden recess 14, thereby improving the hiding effect of the pushing mechanism 2.

[0039] Specifically, the first hidden groove 14 is similar to a rectangular groove, and the inner wall at the lower end is the abutment wall 143. The pushing mechanism 2 is rotated 90° from a vertical position to a horizontal position and abuts against the abutment wall 143. At this time, the first cover body 15 is covered in the upper groove 141, and the pushing mechanism 2 is limited in the lower groove 142, so that the structure of the toy is stable when used as a launcher.

[0040] Specifically, the top of the shell 1 is also hingedly connected to an upper cover body 4 that matches the shape of the shell 1. The upper cover body 4 covers the top of the accommodating cavity 11. After the upper cover body 4 is closed, the accommodating cavity 11 is completely enclosed in the shell 1. Playing with this shape further reflects the mystery of the toy.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the clamping mechanism 3 includes clamping arms 31 fixed at opposite ends of the firing chamber 12. The clamping space enclosed by the two clamping arms 31 matches the shape of the launcher, and the clamping arms 31 are elastic. When the push mechanism 2 is pressed into the housing 1, the push mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 3 work together to apply force to the launcher. When the kinetic energy of the launcher is sufficient, the launcher opens the two clamping arms 31 and is launched. After the launcher is launched, the clamping arms 31 return to their original shape.

[0042] Specifically, third hidden grooves 18 are respectively provided on both sides of the lower end of the shell 1, and a gripping piece 19 is hingedly connected in the third hidden groove 18. The two gripping pieces 19 are respectively located at both ends of the pushing mechanism 2. When used as a launcher, one hand fixes the shell 1 through the gripping piece 19, and the other hand presses the pushing mechanism 2 to realize the function of the launcher.

[0043] Specifically, referring to FIG1 , the deformable transmitter has a cylindrical structure when in the storage state, so that the transmitter can be placed on a flat surface like a beverage can or bottle in the storage state, and can be deformed when used, which can not only improve children's hands-on ability, but also enhance the novelty of playing.

[0044] It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the type of launcher of the launcher, and it can be a cylindrical launcher or a spherical launcher. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the cylindrical launcher can be selected as a bottle cap launcher 5, and the spherical launcher can be selected as a football launcher 6. Of course, the user can also choose other objects as the launcher according to the actual size of the accommodating cavity, which all fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: when used as a launcher, open the first cover 15 and rotate the pushing mechanism 2 so that the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 2 is toward the direction of the launching chamber 12, then open the second cover 17 and the two grips 19, ensure that there is a launching member in the launching chamber 12, press the pushing link 22 inward, so that the pushing link 22 contacts the launching member and pushes the launching member to overcome the resistance of the clamping arm 31 and be launched out of the launching port 13; when used as other toys or in a storage state, rotate the pushing mechanism 2 into the first hidden groove 14, and cover the first cover 15, the second cover 17 and the grips 19, so that all mechanisms are in a hidden state.

[0046] The present invention is further described above with the aid of specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
