Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional bouncing toys are inconvenient to use due to motor-driven mechanisms, have complex structures that easily get stuck, and lack variety in play experience.
Innovation Solution
A transmission assembly with a transmission shaft, push rod, and reset mechanism that allows manual or power-driven operation, featuring inconsistent protruding rods for random triggering and a reset function to prevent sticking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional motor-driven mechanisms are used, then the bouncing toy can operate automatically, but it becomes inconvenient to use and reduces service life
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission assembly enables the bouncing device to reset automatically through the interaction between protruding rods and push rods. When one push rod is activated, it triggers the next in sequence, creating a self-sustaining cycle that eliminates the need for external motors or power sources, making the toy both convenient to use and durable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the motor-driven mechanical system with a pure mechanical transmission system using protruding rods, push rods, and elastic elements. This substitution eliminates complex electrical components and motors, simplifying the structure while improving reliability and ease of operation
2Reliability
If complex transmission structures are used, then the bouncing device can function, but it easily gets stuck and cannot be reset
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission assembly is divided into multiple independent push rods, each with its own protruding rod interaction point. This segmentation allows each component to function independently and reset automatically, preventing the entire system from getting stuck when one component reaches its limit
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates elastic elements that provide dynamic reset capability. When push rods are pressed, the elastic elements deform and then automatically restore to their original position, enabling the transmission assembly to reset continuously without manual intervention or complex mechanisms
3Adaptability or versatility
If sequential triggering is used, then the bouncing device operates in order, but it lacks play variety and fun
Solution Approach 1:
The protruding rods are arranged with inconsistent angles and positions rather than uniform symmetry. This asymmetric arrangement causes the push rods to be triggered in varying sequences during operation, creating unpredictable and varied bouncing patterns that increase play variety while maintaining simple operational mechanics

Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances usability, extends toy life, and increases play variety by enabling manual operation, random triggering, and easy resetting.
Implementation Method 1
a spring is connected to the middle of the button, and the button returns to its initial position under the elastic force of the spring after being pressed

AI summary
A transmission assembly for bouncing toys includes a transmission shaft and a push rod, wherein the transmission shaft is composed of a first transmission shaft, a transmission gear, and a second transmission shaft. The transmission shaft body is provided with a plurality of protruding rods, and the inclination angles of each protruding rod are inconsistent. The push rod body is provided with a node, and the transmission shaft is provided above the push rod. When the rotating shaft rotates, the protruding rod of the transmission shaft pushes the node of the push rod forward. The bouncing device can be triggered by pressing the button downward to push the disk above the push rod, or the transmission gear is driven by the power supply to drive the transmission shaft to rotate.
