[0049] The present application aims to provide a pressing toy to solve the problems in the prior art of cumbersome resetting operation and poor control experience of pressing toys.

[0050] FIG1 is a perspective view of a push-button toy provided in an embodiment of the present application; FIG2 is a perspective view of the push-button toy provided in an embodiment of the present application from another angle; FIG3 is an exploded view of the push-button toy provided in an embodiment of the present application; and FIG4 is an exploded view of the push-button toy provided in an embodiment of the present application from another angle. As shown in FIG1 to FIG4 , the push-button toy 100 includes a housing 10, a push assembly 20, and a reset assembly 30. The push assembly 20 is disposed on the housing 10 and includes a plurality of buttons 21. The buttons 21 protrude from the top surface 11 of the housing 10. The reset assembly 30 includes a reset button 31 and a support member 32. The reset button 31 is disposed on the side wall 12 of the housing 10, and the support member 32 is disposed within the housing 10. The wall opposite the top surface 11 of the housing 10 (the side from which the buttons 21 protrude) is the bottom wall 13 of the housing 10. The side wall 12 of the housing 10 refers to one of the walls of the housing 10 other than the top surface 11 and the bottom wall 13.

[0051] The button 21 is depressed when pressed, and the "depression" may refer to the depression of the button 21 itself or the depression of the button 21 as a whole relative to the housing 10. Figures 1 to 4 show the depressed state of the button 21.

[0052] A key plate 22 can be provided, and several upwardly protruding keys 21 can be formed on several positions of the key plate 22. The keys 21 can be integrally formed with the key plate 22, which is convenient for processing, saves installation process, and avoids assembly errors. A single key 21 can also be assembled to the key plate 22. The key 21 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, and silicone rubber so that it can be deformed when subjected to force, such as being concave downward or resetting upward. In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the number of keys 21 is five. Those skilled in the art should understand that what is shown in the figure is only an example. In other embodiments, the number of keys 21 can also be other numbers, such as four, eight, ten, etc.

[0053] When the reset button 31 is pressed, it performs a first movement toward the inside of the shell 10, which is a movement in the horizontal direction, driving the supporting member 32 to perform a second movement, which is a movement in the vertical direction, so that the supporting member 32 supports the button 21 and resets it to a raised state.

[0054] Specifically, the reset button 31 is provided with an inclined surface 312 facing the holding member 32. When the reset button 31 is pressed, it moves toward the interior of the housing 10 (in the direction of arrow A in Figures 1 to 4), and the inclined surface 312 pushes the holding member 32 upward (in the direction of arrow B in Figures 1 to 4), so that the holding member 32 presses the key 21 to reset it to the raised state.

[0055] When operating the push button toy 100, the user can press each button 21 to make it concave. When the button 21 needs to be reset to its original raised state (for example, to complete a round of the game according to the game settings of the push button toy 100, or to stop the game midway), the user can press the reset button 31, and the button 21 is reset by the holding member 32.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the reset button 31 is arranged on the side wall 12 of the shell 10 of the pressing toy 100. By pressing the reset button 31, the inclined surface 312 of the reset button 31 pushes the supporting member 32 upward to reset the button 21. Compared with the bottom pressing or the reset method that requires disassembling the shell 10, the side pressing method is convenient for applying force, easy to operate, and provides a good user experience.

[0057] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 4, the housing 10 includes an upper housing 14 and a lower housing 15, which are fastened together to form a storage space inside the housing 10 for accommodating the pressing assembly 20 and the reset assembly 30. Positioning members (e.g., matching positioning posts and positioning holes) can be provided on the upper housing 14 and the lower housing 15, respectively, and the positioning members of the two can be plugged in and locked together. The upper housing 14 has a through hole 141 for the button 21 to pass through so that it protrudes from the housing 10. The shape of the through hole 141 can be adapted to the layout of the button 21. As shown in the figure, the layout of the button 21 is petal-shaped, and accordingly, the shape of the through hole 141 of the upper housing 14 is also petal-shaped.

[0058] The upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15 each have a notch. When the upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15 are fastened together, the opening formed by the upper and lower notches allows the reset button 31 to pass through, allowing the reset button 31 to be exposed outside the housing 10. In some embodiments, the horizontal projection of the lower shell 15 is smaller than the horizontal projection of the upper shell 14, forming a housing recessed area 16 (see FIG. 2 ). The housing recessed area 16 includes a first area 161 located in the center and second areas 162 located on either side of the first area 161.

[0059] Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , the reset button 31 includes a first end 313 and a second end 314 . The first end 313 is disposed in the first area 161 .

[0060] Figure 5 is a top view of the push toy provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5 , when in use, the user holds the push toy 100 in one hand, with the thumb pressing button 21 to play the game, while the remaining four fingers (which can be a single finger or multiple fingers) press the reset button 31 to reset the key. Therefore, by providing a second area to accommodate the fingers, when the user uses one or more of the four fingers to press the reset button 31, all four fingers can move simultaneously, and the remaining fingers not in contact with the reset button 31 are not blocked, facilitating the pressing operation.

[0061] The positions of the buttons on the top surface 11 of the housing 10 in this embodiment of the present application must satisfy the following requirements: when the push-button toy 100 is held in one hand, the buttons 21 are within the pressing range of the user's thumb or index finger. The button size and layout can be designed based on the user's hand size and the number of buttons 21.

[0062] The push-button toy 100 of the present embodiment can be operated with one hand. Accordingly, the travel of the support member 32 is set to be from the lowest depressed position of the button 21 to the highest raised position of the button 21 (to ensure that the button 21 can always return to the raised state). If the distance from the lowest depressed position of the button 21 to the highest raised position of the button 21 is approximately 14 mm, due to the size limitation of the single-handed push-button 100, the travel of the reset button 31 is generally controlled to be less than 6 mm (even smaller when the push-button 100 is for children), otherwise it will be inconvenient to operate.

[0063] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 and 4, the pressing assembly 20 further includes a fixing plate 23, which is used to fix the keypad 22 to the housing 10. Figure 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of the pressing toy 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Further referring to Figure 6, the fixing plate 23 can be disposed below the keypad 22, and the keypad 22 can be pressed against the upper housing 14. The fixing plate 23 and keypad 22 can then be fixed to the upper housing 14 by threading, riveting, bonding, or the like.

[0064] In the specific embodiment shown in the figures, the push-button toy 100 further includes a mainboard 60, which is disposed between the push assembly 20 and the top support 32. The mainboard 60 houses circuitry for implementing the various game functions of the push-button toy 100. Specifically, the mainboard 60 is located between the fixing plate 23 and the top support 32, pressing the fixing plate 23 against the upper shell 14. The mainboard 60 is secured to the upper shell 14 via threaded connectors, thereby securing the fixing plate 23 and the keypad 22 to the upper shell 14. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the illustrations are merely exemplary, and in other embodiments, the mainboard 60 may be disposed in other locations, such as between the top support 32 and the lower shell 15, or vertically to one side of the top support 32.

[0065] The fixing plate 23 is provided with avoidance holes 70 corresponding to the positions of the buttons 21 , so that the buttons 21 can be pressed downward and the main board 60 can sense that the buttons 21 are pressed.

[0066] In addition, the pressing component 20 may also include a key pad 24, which is arranged between the main board 60 and the fixed plate 23. The material of the key pad 24 can be a flexible material, such as soft plastic, rubber, silicone, etc. The elasticity of the key pad 24 can reduce the force of pressing the button, making it easier and smoother to press the button, and can also eliminate the friction sound when the button moves up and down, reducing noise. The key pad 24 can also prevent the key 21 from directly contacting the main board 60, reducing mechanical wear and tear, thereby extending the service life of the key 21. The key pad 24 is also provided with avoidance holes 70 corresponding to the positions of several keys 21, so that the key 21 can be pressed down and the main board 60 can sense that the key 21 is pressed.

[0067] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the reset assembly, and Figure 8 is a perspective view of the reset assembly from another angle. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, and with continued reference to Figures 3 and 4, the second end 314 of the reset button 31 includes a base plate 3141. The base plate 3141 is in contact with the bottom of the housing 10, and a raised portion 315 is provided on the base plate 3141 to form an inclined surface 312. The base plate 3141 and raised portion 315 can be integrally formed or separately machined and then assembled. The base plate 3141 facilitates the movement of the reset button 31 along the bottom of the housing 10.

[0068] The raised portion 315 includes a first protrusion 3151 and a second protrusion 3152, arranged along the direction of movement of the reset button 31 and connected to each other. The first protrusion 3151 is higher than the second protrusion 3152, and the first protrusion 3151 forms a sloped surface 312, which abuts the bottom of the supporting member 32. The provision of the second protrusion 3152 and its connection with the sloped surface 312 facilitate the sloped surface 312 to penetrate under the supporting member 32 when the reset button 31 moves toward the interior of the housing 10, thereby pushing the supporting member 32 upward. Further referring to Figures 3 and 4, the supporting member 32 is provided with a recess 325, into which the first protrusion 3151 can be inserted, with the sloped surface 312 abutting the inner wall of the recess 325, thereby achieving a compact design for the push-button toy 100.

[0069] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the reset assembly in the first state, and Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the reset assembly in the second state. Please refer to Figures 7 to 10. As shown in Figure 9, the reset button 31 is not pressed, and the reset assembly 30 is in the first state. When the reset button 31 is pressed, as shown in Figure 10, the inclined surface 312 lifts the supporting member 32, pushing the supporting member 32 upward in the vertical direction to a position where the button is reset to the raised position. At this point, the reset assembly 30 is in the second state.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 and 4. A limiting hole 321 is provided on the supporting member 32. Inside the shell 10, a limiting column 17 is provided at a position corresponding to the limiting hole 321 at the bottom of the shell 10. The limiting column 17 is passed through the limiting hole 321. When the supporting member 32 moves upward or downward, the supporting member 32 moves up and down along the limiting column 17. The limiting column 17 limits the supporting member 32 to move only in the vertical direction and not in the horizontal direction.

[0071] In the illustrated embodiment, the reset assembly 30 further includes a stopper plate 33, which is located within the housing 10 and disposed at the bottom of the housing 10, between the support member 32 and the bottom plate 3141 of the reset button 31. A stopper post 17 is disposed on the stopper plate 33 at a position corresponding to the stopper hole 321. Alternatively, the stopper post 17 may be disposed directly on the bottom of the housing 10.

[0072] 3 , a limiter 18 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10 to limit the movement path of the reset button 31. The reset button 31 moves along the movement path defined by the limiter 18 to avoid deviation.

[0073] The movement path includes a movement direction and a maximum movement endpoint. The maximum movement endpoint includes the first movement endpoint of the reset button 31, which moves toward the interior of the housing 10. The limiter 18 includes a first limiter 181, and the reset button 31 is provided with a first limiter portion 316. The first limiter 181 includes a first stopper 1811 and a second stopper 1812. The first stopper 1811 includes two opposing stoppers 1811a extending along the movement direction of the reset button 31. The bottom plate 3141 of the reset button 31 is located between the two stoppers 1811a to limit the movement direction of the reset button 31. The second stopper 1812 extends perpendicular to the movement direction of the reset button 31 and cooperates with the first limiter portion 316 of the reset button 31 to define the first movement endpoint. This design ensures that the reset button 31 does not deviate from its movement direction and does not wobble during movement. It also stops the reset button 21 when it has moved far enough to prevent further movement and damage.

[0074] The first stopper 316 on the reset button 31 is formed by the first end 313 of the reset button 31 facing the inside of the housing 10.

In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the second elastic member 50 is a spring, which is mounted on the limiting column 17. Because the diameter of the limiting column 17 is smaller than the inner diameter of the spring, a sleeve matching the inner diameter of the spring is also provided at the position where the limiting hole 321 is formed on the top plate 322. The bottom end of the spring is mounted on the sleeve to prevent the bottom end of the spring from shaking. When the top holding member 32 moves upward to reset the button 21, the second elastic member 50 is compressed; when the reset button 31 is released, the second elastic member 50 applies downward pressure to the top plate 322 to cause the entire top holding member 32 to move downward to reset.

[0085] In some embodiments, a switch 63 is provided below the mainboard 60. When the supporting member 32 moves upward, it also supports the switch 63 to a closed state, thereby triggering the mainboard 60 to execute a preset function.
