DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0038] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0039] 1 and 2 , the present application discloses a gyroscope 100 , comprising a cover assembly 10 and an inward-rotating assembly 40 , wherein the inward-rotating assembly 40 comprises an upper launch member 4 , a middle axis assembly 5 and a top-end assembly 6 ; the upper launch member 4 is disposed on the upper portion of the cover assembly 10 , the top-end assembly 6 is disposed on the lower portion of the cover assembly 10 , and the middle axis assembly 5 is disposed on the central axis of the cover assembly 10 .

[0040] 8-10 , the middle shaft assembly 5 includes a first fastener 51 and a first bearing 52 . One end of the first fastener 51 is connected to the upper launch member 4 , and the other end of the first fastener 51 is detachably connected to the top assembly 6 . Specifically, the first fastener 51 can be a bolt, and gaskets 53 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner ring of the first bearing 52 .

[0041] The first bearing 52 is sleeved on the first fastener 51, and the first bearing 52 is sleeved between the upper launch member 4 and the top assembly 6; specifically, the inner ring of the first bearing 52 can be clamped between the upper launch member 4 and the top assembly 6, and the outer ring of the first bearing 52 can be connected to the cover assembly 10.

[0042] 12 , the upper launch member 4 is provided with a connection structure 41 , which is suitable for being locked by a launcher, so that the gyroscope 100 can be launched by the launcher.

[0043] The top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 rotate relative to each other, that is, the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can rotate independently of each other; or the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 rotate together, that is, the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are relatively fixed.

[0044] Specifically, the gyroscope 100 may further include a locking member, which is provided on one of the cover assembly and the top assembly, and the other of the cover assembly and the top assembly is provided with a locking fitting, for example, the locking member may be a movable locking rod, and the locking fitting may be a locking groove; the locking member has a locking state and an unlocking state, in the locking state, the locking member is connected to the locking fitting (for example, the locking rod is inserted into the locking groove), the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are locked to each other, and the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can rotate together; in the unlocking state, the locking member is disconnected from the locking fitting (for example, the locking rod is separated from the locking groove), the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are unlocked, and the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can rotate relative to each other.

[0045] 1 and 3 , when the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are adjusted to rotate relative to each other, the user can pinch the inner rotation assembly 40 and rotate the cover assembly 10 so that the gyroscope 100 can be used as a fingertip gyroscope; the user can also release the gyroscope 100 when the cover assembly 10 reaches a certain speed so that the gyroscope 100 can be launched manually; the user can also combine the upper launch member 4 with the launcher to launch the gyroscope 100 through the launcher, thereby increasing the gameplay of the gyroscope 100, improving the fun of the gyroscope 100, and improving the overall performance of the gyroscope 100.

[0046] 2 , when the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 rotate together, the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are relatively fixed, so that the gyro 100 can be used as a sword-spinning gyro 100 , and the gyro 100 can be launched by a launcher.

[0047] The gyroscope 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a top assembly 6 that can rotate relative to or rotate together with the cover assembly 10. By replacing different top assemblies 6, the state of relative movement of the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can be changed. By replacing different top assemblies 6, the state of relative movement of the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can be changed to relative rotation, so that the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can rotate independently, so that the user can launch the gyroscope 100 by rotating the cover assembly 10, so that the gyroscope 10 can be used as a fingertip gyroscope; by replacing different top assemblies 6, the state of relative movement of the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 can be changed to rotation together, so that the top assembly 6 and the cover assembly 10 are relatively fixed, so that the gyroscope 100 can be used as a sword-spinning gyroscope 100, and the upper launching component 4 can also be adapted and used with the claw of an ordinary gyroscope launcher, thereby increasing the playability of the gyroscope 100, improving the fun of the gyroscope 100, and improving the overall performance of the gyroscope 100.

[0048] 1, 3-5, 8, and 9, in some embodiments provided herein, the spindle tip assembly 6 includes a top finger 61 and a first bottom tip 62. The top finger 61 is detachably connected to the first fastener 51. The inner ring of the first bearing 52 is sandwiched between the top finger 61 and the upper launch member 4. The first bottom tip 62 is detachably connected to the top finger 61. Specifically, the first bottom tip 62 can be detachably connected to the top finger 61 via a fastener, or the first bottom tip 62 and the top finger 61 can be connected via a snap fit.

[0049] By installing the first bottom tip 62 onto the top finger 61, the gyroscope 100 can be switched to a sword-spinning gyroscope that can rotate both inside and outside; by removing the first bottom tip 62 from the top finger 61, the gyroscope 100 can be switched to a fingertip gyroscope; by providing a detachable first bottom tip 62, the gyroscope 100 can be switched between a sword-spinning gyroscope and a fingertip gyroscope, thereby increasing the gameplay of the gyroscope 100, improving the fun of the gyroscope 100, and improving the overall performance of the gyroscope 100.

[0050] 1 , 3 , 8 and 9 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the top finger 61 includes a top finger 61 portion and a connecting portion 612 . The top finger 61 portion is generally in the shape of a pancake, which makes it easier for the user to hold and pinch the top finger 61 portion when switching the gyroscope 100 to be used as a fingertip gyroscope.

[0051] The top finger 61 is connected to the outside of the connecting portion 612. In the direction away from the top finger 61, the diameter of the connecting portion 612 gradually decreases. Specifically, the connecting portion 612 is generally conical. In this way, the connecting portion 612 can avoid the cover assembly 10, so that the cover assembly 10 can be made smaller, and the first bearing 52 can be made smaller, thereby reducing the production cost of the gyroscope 100 and allowing the gyroscope 100 to be within the size range of a fingertip gyroscope.

[0052] The first bottom tip 62 includes a connected bottom tip body 621 and an elastic claw 622. The bottom tip body 621 is generally conical. There are multiple elastic claws 622, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bottom tip body 621. The elastic claws 622 abut against the top finger 61 and the connecting portion 612.

[0053] Specifically, the elastic claw 622 includes a first side abutment 6221 and a second side abutment 6222. The first side abutment 6221 is connected to the bottom tip main body 621, and the first side abutment 6221 abuts against the top finger 61 in the radial direction. The second side abutment 6222 is connected to the end of the first side abutment 6221 away from the bottom tip main body 621, and the second side abutment 6222 extends obliquely toward the connecting portion 612, and the second side abutment 6222 abuts against the connecting portion 612.

[0054] By providing a plurality of elastic claws 622 spaced apart and setting the elastic claws 622 to abut against the top finger 61 and the connecting portion 612, the elastic claws 622 cooperate with the top finger 61 to limit the bottom tip body 621 in the up-down and circumferential directions, so that the central axis of the bottom tip body 621 substantially coincides with the central axis of the top finger 61, so that the gyroscope 100 can rotate stably, thereby improving the stability of the gyroscope 100.

[0055] 5 , 8 and 9 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the upper launch member 4 further includes a main body portion 42 , the outer diameter of the main body portion 42 decreases from top to bottom, the connecting structure 41 is generally annular, and the connecting structure 41 is arranged above the main body portion 42 .

[0056] 13 , the main body 42 and the connecting structure 41 together define a receiving groove 43 . The first fastener 51 includes a connecting screw 511 and a top cap 512 . The top cap 512 is generally circular and received in the receiving groove 43 . The connecting screw 511 passes through the upper launch member 4 and is threadedly connected to the top tip assembly 6 .

[0057] By placing the top cap 512 in the receiving groove 43, the top cap 512 can be prevented from protruding from the connecting structure 41 and being accidentally touched, causing the first fastener 51 to loosen, thereby improving the reliability of the gyroscope 100; at the same time, inserting the first fastener 51 from top to bottom also facilitates the assembly of the gyroscope 100 component, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0058] Referring to Figure 7 , the connecting structure 41 radially protrudes from the main body 42 to accommodate locking by the launcher. Specifically, the connecting structure 41 can be locked by the launcher's claws. The cover assembly 10 is provided with at least one launch push groove 11, which locks with the launcher to allow the launcher to drive the gyroscope 100 to rotate. Specifically, there are four launch push grooves 11, and the four launch push grooves 11 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the cover assembly 10. This simple structure facilitates the launch of the gyroscope 100 by the launcher. It will be understood that the launcher described in this embodiment is an existing launcher used in existing gyroscope toys. It has a claw structure and a push plate structure that drives the gyroscope to rotate. This is prior art for those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] Referring to Figure 7 , the connecting structure 41 is provided with a disassembly slot 411 adapted for a disassembly tool. When disassembling the gyro 100, the disassembly tool can be inserted into the disassembly slot 411. The tool then rotates the upper launch member 4, thereby driving the rotation of the first fastener 51. This further simplifies disassembly and assembly of the gyro 100, improves disassembly and assembly efficiency, and enhances the overall performance of the gyro 100.

[0060] 12 and 13 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the upper launch member 4 has a limiting hole 421 , specifically, the limiting hole 421 is provided on the main body 42 ; the outer contour of the cross section of the limiting hole 421 is non-circular, specifically, the outer contour of the cross section of the limiting hole 421 can be a rectangle, a regular hexagon or a semicircle.

[0061] 13 , the connecting screw 511 has a threaded portion 5111 and a limiting portion 5112 . The threaded portion 5111 is formed with an external thread, and the threaded portion 5111 is threadedly connected to the top finger 61 . The outer contour of the cross section of the limiting portion 5112 is non-circular, and the limiting portion 5112 is adapted to the limiting hole 421 .

[0062] By providing a limiting hole 421 on the upper launch member 4 that is compatible with the limiting portion 5112, the upper launch member 4 can play a certain limiting role on the limiting portion 5112. When it is necessary to connect the top finger 61 and the upper launch member 4 together, the first fastener 51 can be tightened by rotating the upper launch member 4, so that the upper launch member 4 and the top finger 61 are reliably fixed relative to the inner ring of the bearing; when it is necessary to disassemble the top finger 61, the first fastener 51 can be loosened by rotating the upper launch member 4, and the first fastener 51 can be unscrewed from the top finger 61; the structure is simple, and the gyroscope 100 is easy to disassemble and assemble, which can improve the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the gyroscope 100.

[0063] 5-7 and 11 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the cover assembly 10 includes an upper cover 1, a middle cover 2 and a lower cover 3. The upper cover 1 is disposed on the upper side of the middle cover 2, and the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 jointly define an accommodating cavity, in which the outer ring of the first bearing 52 is clamped. In this way, the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 can be fixed relative to the outer ring of the first bearing 52, so that the cover assembly 10 is fixed relative to the outer ring of the first bearing 52, and the cover assembly 10 and the top assembly 6 can rotate relative to each other.

[0064] Referring to Figure 6 , the upper cover 1 is plugged into the middle cover 2, and the lower cover 3 is disposed below the middle cover 2. The lower cover 3 is snap-fitted to the middle cover 2. Specifically, the upper cover 1 is provided with a plurality of plug-in posts 12, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the upper cover 1. The middle cover 2 is provided with plug-in holes 211, which are the same number as the plug-in posts 12 and correspond one-to-one. The plug-in posts 12 are inserted into the corresponding plug-in holes 211, and the plug-in posts 12 and the corresponding plug-in holes 211 have an interference fit.

[0065] By setting the upper cover body 1 and the middle cover body 2 as a plug-in connection and setting the lower cover body 3 and the middle cover body 2 as a snap-on connection, it is unnecessary to set fasteners to connect the cover body assembly 10, so that the number of components of the cover body assembly 10 is small, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cover body assembly 10, improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the cover body assembly 10, and improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the gyroscope 100.

[0066] 5-7 and 11 , in some embodiments provided by the present disclosure, one of the lower cover 3 and the middle cover 2 has a positioning slot 311, the positioning slot 311 has an avoidance area 3111 and a positioning area 3112, the avoidance area 3111 and the positioning area 3112 are arranged circumferentially and communicate with each other, and the other of the lower cover 3 and the middle cover 2 is provided with a positioning block 22, the positioning block 22 is adapted to be inserted into the positioning slot 311 from the avoidance area 3111, and the positioning block 22 is adapted to be rotated from the avoidance area 3111 to the positioning area 3112 to connect and fix the middle cover 2 to the lower cover 3;

[0067] 6 and 7 , the middle cover body 2 includes a middle cover body 21 and a positioning block 22 . The positioning block 22 has a connecting block 221 and a stop block 222 . The stop block 222 is spaced apart from the middle cover body 21 . The connecting block 221 extends axially along the middle cover body 2 and connects the stop block 222 and the middle cover body 21 . The connecting block 221 has a positioning protrusion 223 in the radial direction. The positioning block 22 is generally L-shaped.

[0068] The lower cover body 3 has a lower cover body 31 and a positioning block 32. A positioning slot 311 is formed on the lower cover body 31, and a positioning groove 3113 is provided in the positioning slot 311. The positioning protrusion 223 is suitable for being inserted into the positioning groove 3113. The positioning block 32 is located above the lower cover body 31, and the positioning block 32 is axially opposite to the positioning area 3112. The stop block 222 is located below the positioning block 32 and stops with the positioning block 32.

[0069] The upper cover body 1 is provided with a plurality of torsion grooves 13 , which are arranged at intervals along the edge of the upper cover body 1 . The disassembler is suitable for driving the upper cover body 1 to rotate through the torsion grooves 13 to drive the positioning block 22 to move between the avoidance area 3111 and the positioning area 3112 .

[0070] When assembling the cover assembly 10, you can first connect the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 together, then insert the disassembler into the torsion groove 13, insert the positioning block 32 into the avoidance area 3111 of the positioning slot 311, and then rotate the disassembler to drive the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 to rotate, rotate the positioning block 22 from the avoidance area 3111 to the positioning area 3112, and clamp and fix the lower cover 3 and the middle cover 2 to complete the assembly of the cover assembly 10.

[0071] When disassembling the cover assembly 10, you can first insert the disassembler into the torsion groove 13, and then rotate the disassembler to drive the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 to rotate, rotate the positioning block 22 from the positioning area 3112 to the avoidance area 3111, remove the lower cover 3 from the middle cover 2, and then separate the upper cover 1 from the middle cover 2 to complete the disassembly of the cover assembly 10.

[0072] By setting the positioning card slot 311 and the positioning block 32 to cooperate with each other, the structure is simple, which facilitates the card connection between the middle cover body 2 and the lower cover body 3; by setting the torsion groove 13 adapted to the disassembly and assembly, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the cover body assembly 10, and the time for disassembling and assembling the cover body assembly 10 is shortened.

[0073] 1-5 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the gyroscope 100 includes an external rotating assembly 70 , which is sleeved on the outside of the cover assembly 10 . The external rotating assembly 70 includes at least one outer ring body, and the multiple outer ring bodies are plug-connected by connecting rings 73 .

[0074] Specifically, there can be two outer ring bodies, which are the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 73. The first ring body 71 has a first plug-in block, and the second ring body 73 has a second plug-in block. The connecting ring 73 is clamped between the first ring body 71 and the second ring body 73. The connecting ring 73 has a first plug-in slot and a second plug-in slot. The number of the first plug-in slot and the first plug-in block are the same and correspond one-to-one. The first plug-in block is suitable for being inserted into the first plug-in slot. The number of the second plug-in block and the second plug-in slot are the same and correspond one-to-one. The second plug-in block is suitable for being inserted into the second plug-in slot.

[0075] The second ring body 73 is close to the lower cover body 3 and is snap-connected with the lower cover body 3. A flange 14 is formed on the side of the upper cover body 1 away from the middle cover body 2. A boss 711 is formed on the inner wall of the first ring body 71, and the flange 14 abuts against the boss 711 in the axial direction.

[0076] The external rotating assembly 70 can play a certain protective role for the cover assembly 10, and can prevent the upper cover 1 or the middle cover 2 from being damaged, which would cause the upper cover 1 and the middle cover 2 to fall off the outer ring of the first bearing 52, so that the external rotating assembly 70 can be reliably fixed relative to the outer ring of the first bearing 52, thereby improving the reliability of the gyroscope 100.

[0077] 6 and 10 , in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the top assembly 6 includes a stop plate 63, a support member 64, a driving gear 65 and a second bottom tip 66. The second bottom tip 66 is provided at the lower portion of the driving gear 65. Specifically, the second bottom tip 66 is plugged into the driving gear 65. By providing the driving gear 65, the launcher can launch the gyroscope 100 by driving the driving gear 65 to rotate, thereby increasing the launching methods of the gyroscope 100, improving the diversity of the playing methods of the gyroscope 100, and improving the fun of the gyroscope 100. It can be understood that the launcher mentioned in this embodiment is a sword-spinning launcher, and its structure is to launch the gyroscope through the transmission mechanism on the waving scabbard and the driving gear 65 of the gyroscope toy. For related technology, please refer to the existing patent document (patent number 202221126828.8), which will not be repeated here.

[0078] The support member 64 is rotatably mounted above the drive gear 65. The anti-rotation plate 63 is positioned above the support member 64. The anti-rotation plate 63 and the drive gear 65 are fixedly connected. Specifically, the anti-rotation plate 63 and the drive gear 65 may be connected by a fastener. By providing the rotatable support member 64, the support member 64 can rotate relative to the second base 66, and the support member 64 can rotate relative to the cover assembly 10. This allows the support member 64 to stabilize the rotation of the gyroscope 100, ensuring reliable and stable rotation of the gyroscope 100.

[0079] 6 and 10 , in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of anti-rotation posts 631 are circumferentially distributed on the anti-rotation plate 63. The anti-rotation posts 631 are embedded within the cover assembly 10 to drive the cover assembly 10 to rotate. Specifically, the cover body 21 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 212, and the anti-rotation posts 631 are inserted into the anti-rotation groove 212.

[0080] By embedding the anti-rotation column 631 inside the cover assembly 10, the anti-rotation column 631 can effectively limit the anti-rotation plate 63 and the cover assembly 10, so that the anti-rotation plate 63 and the cover assembly 10 can rotate synchronously, so that the gyroscope 100 can reliably rotate in the form of a sword-spinning gyroscope 100 with uniform rotation inside and outside, with a simple structure and easy use.

[0081] Referring to Figures 14 and 15, in some embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the support member 64 includes a second bearing 641, an upper support plate 642 and a lower support plate 643, the upper support plate 642 is arranged on the upper side of the lower support plate 643, and the upper support plate 642 and the lower support plate 643 jointly define a second accommodating cavity, the outer ring of the second bearing 641 is clamped in the second accommodating cavity, and the upper support plate 642 is snap-connected to the lower support plate 643.

[0082] Specifically, the upper support plate 642 is formed with a connecting slot 6421, and the lower support plate 643 is provided with a locking protrusion 6431. The number of the connecting slots 6421 is the same as that of the locking columns and they correspond one to one. The locking protrusion 6431 is suitable for inserting into the corresponding connecting slot 6421. The locking protrusion 6431 and the connecting slot 6421 are interference fit in the axial direction. This can increase the clamping force of the upper support plate 642 and the lower support plate 643 on the outer ring of the second bearing 641, so that the upper support plate 642 and the lower support plate 643 are reliably fixed relative to the outer ring of the second bearing 641.

[0083] The inner race of the second bearing 641 is sandwiched between the anti-rotation plate 63 and the drive gear 65. Specifically, the anti-rotation plate 63 has a connecting rod 632, which is inserted into the drive gear 65. The connecting rod 632 and the drive gear 65 are connected by a third fastener 67, which can be a bolt. The second bearing 641 is sleeved on the connecting rod 632, and the inner race of the second bearing 641 is sandwiched between the anti-rotation plate 63 and the drive gear 65, and the inner race of the second bearing 641 is fixed relative to the anti-rotation plate 63 and the drive gear 65.

[0084] By setting a third fastener 67 to connect the connecting rod 632 and the driving gear 65, the connection between the connecting rod 632 and the driving gear 65 can be made more reliable, so that the connecting rod 632 and the driving gear 65 can more reliably clamp the inner ring of the second bearing 641, so that the anti-rotation plate 63 and the driving gear 65 can be reliably fixed relative to the inner ring of the second bearing 641.

[0085] By providing the second bearing 641 , relative rotation between the support member 64 and the second bottom tip 66 is facilitated, and relative rotation between the support member 64 and the cover assembly 10 is facilitated, and the structure is simple.
