Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-5, the present invention provides a leak-proof toy ball, comprising a shell, a dividing cover 20, and a power mechanism 50; the shell includes a detachably connected left shell 30 and a right shell 10; the dividing cover 20 is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the shell, dividing the interior of the shell into a food storage cavity 302 and a power cavity 102; specifically, the space enclosed by the dividing cover 20 and the left shell 30 is the food storage cavity 302, and the space enclosed by the dividing cover 20 and the right shell 10 is the power cavity 102. By embedding the dividing cover 20 inside the shell, the number of shell components is reduced, and the number of interfaces on the shell surface is reduced, thereby increasing the strength of the shell and facilitating processing and installation. The power mechanism 50 is disposed within the power cavity 102, causing the center of gravity of the housing to be offset. The power mechanism 50 is provided with a drive device, and a transmission part is provided at one end of the drive device near the dividing cover 20. The transmission part is connected to the dividing cover 20 and drives the drive device, causing the transmission part to drive the dividing cover 20 to rotate, thereby causing the housing to rotate. The housing is provided with a first feeding opening 301, which communicates with the food storage cavity 302. An adjustment cover 40 is provided at the first feeding opening 301 to adjust the size of the feeding opening. Activating the drive device can make the food-leaking toy ball rotate or bounce, thereby causing the food in the food storage cavity 302 to leak out from the first feeding opening 301.

[0027] In this embodiment, the transmission unit includes a gear mechanism and a connecting shaft. The dividing cover is provided with a insertion groove. One end of the connecting shaft is circumferentially fixedly connected to the insertion groove, and the other end of the connecting shaft is connected to the gear mechanism. Specifically, the connecting shaft can be a D-axis, a polygonal shaft, or other irregularly shaped shaft, and the shape of the insertion groove is adapted to the connecting shaft.

[0028] In this embodiment, a gear ring 201 is provided on the side of the dividing cover 20 near the power chamber 102, and the transmission part of the driving device is provided with a transmission gear 509 that meshes with the gear ring 201. Specifically, the side of the dividing cover 20 near the food storage chamber 302 is a closed surface used to separate the food storage chamber 302 and the power chamber 102. The dividing cover 20 is provided with a gear ring 201 coaxial with the shell on the side of the power chamber 102. The transmission part of the driving device is provided with a transmission gear 509 that meshes with the gear ring 201. The transmission gear 509 drives the dividing cover 20 to rotate through the meshing motion with the gear ring 201, thereby driving the shell to rotate. The dividing cover 20 serves both as a component that separates the food storage chamber 302 and the power chamber 102 and as a transmission component that drives the shell to rotate, making the structure of the food-leaking toy ball simpler, easier to install, saving processing costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the power mechanism 50 has rotating shafts at both ends, which are coaxially arranged with the housing. The power mechanism 50 is rotatably mounted on the housing and the partition cover 20 via the first rotating shaft 501 and the second rotating shaft 502. The transmission gear 509 meshes with the gear ring 201, driving the partition cover 20 to rotate around the rotating shaft. Specifically, the partition cover 20 has a connecting part that is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 502, and the right shell 10 has a shaft hole at a position corresponding to the first rotating shaft 501.

[0030] In this embodiment, the power core 50 is further provided with a battery 504 and an electronic control component. The battery 504, the drive device, and the electronic control component are electrically connected so that the battery 504 provides power to the drive device. The electronic control component is used to control the drive device. The switch button 503 of the electronic control component is provided on the end face of the first rotating shaft 501. A button hole 101 is provided on the housing at a position corresponding to the switch button 503, through which the switch button 503 can be pressed.

[0031] In this embodiment, the food-leaking cover is provided with a central shaft 401 and a second food-leaking opening 402. The food-leaking cover is rotatably mounted on the housing via the central shaft 401. Rotating the food-leaking cover controls the overlap of the first food-leaking opening 301 and the second food-leaking opening 402, thereby controlling the size of the opening of the first food-leaking opening 301. Specifically, an adjustment scale can be set at the food-leaking opening, and the range of rotation of the adjustment cover 40 can be determined according to the adjustment scale to precisely control the opening size of the first food-leaking opening 301.

[0032] In this embodiment, the left shell 30 and the right shell 10 are threaded together. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the connection between the left shell 30 and the right shell 10, and the dividing cover 20 is embedded in the groove. The threaded connection makes it easy to open the shell, add food to the food storage cavity 302, and also facilitates the replacement of the power mechanism 50.

[0033] In this embodiment, the power core 50 is provided with a mounting slot 507, and the driving device is a motor 505, which is disposed in the mounting slot 507.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power mechanism 50 is further provided with a charging port, which is located on the end face of the first rotating shaft 501. The charging port is used to charge the battery 504. Installing the charging port on the end face of the first rotating shaft 501 allows the battery 504 to be charged without opening the housing.

[0035] In this embodiment, a counterweight 506 is provided inside the power mechanism 50. The counterweight 506 is located on the same side as the drive device and is used to adjust the center of gravity of the leaky toy ball. Specifically, the centrifugal force of the leaky toy ball can be adjusted by adjusting the weight of the counterweight 506 and the power of the motor 505, so that the leaky toy ball can achieve the effect of rolling and bouncing.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the shell is covered with a soft rubber coating. This reduces noise, protects the leaky toy ball, and minimizes damage from impacts.

[0037] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The built-in dividing cover 20 completely separates the power mechanism 50 cavity from the food storage cavity 302, preventing the lubricating oil from the output gears of the power mechanism 50 from contaminating the food storage cavity 302; the removable dividing cover design facilitates adding snacks to the food storage cavity 302, making cleaning convenient, and the mechanism can be removed separately for easy replacement and charging; 2. The dividing cover 20 is built into the shell, reducing the number of interfaces in the shell and increasing the shell's strength, thereby increasing the lifespan of the leaky toy ball; 3. The dividing cover 20 not only divides the internal space of the shell but also acts as a transmission component, enabling the power mechanism 50 to drive the shell to rotate, making the structure simpler, easier to install, saving costs, and increasing efficiency; 4. Most components are detachable, allowing for replacement with other components when some parts are damaged, ensuring high interchangeability, long service life, and cost-effectiveness.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
