Combined Toy Gyroscope with Elastic Tips for Automatic Splitting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional toy gyros have limited performance and novelty due to their inability to be easily assembled or disassembled, leading to short service life and low win rates in confrontational play, with existing detachable designs often resulting in unstable rotation and damage.
Innovation Solution
An automatic detachable combined toy gyro system where two or more gyros with the same structure can be easily combined and separated, featuring elastic tips for stable rotation and impact-induced separation, along with a locking mechanism for secure assembly, allowing for various connection methods and adjustable center of gravity for enhanced play options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a main gyro is ejected by an assistant gyro disposed there under, then the gyro can be ejected, but the spring must have large elasticity which shortens service life and damages the lower tip of the upper gyro
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the ejection function into two independent elastic tips instead of using one large elastic spring. Each gyro has its own elastic tip that can independently perform ejection, avoiding the need for excessive elasticity in a single spring and reducing damage risk.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the tips of both gyros elastic rather than having only the lower gyro's tip be rigid. This local elasticity distribution allows for softer impact during ejection, protecting the tips from damage while maintaining ejection capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the assistant gyro has an incomplete structure, then it can be attached to the main gyro, but it cannot be ejected separately as a gyro to play
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs both the main gyro and assistant gyro with identical complete structures, including ejector connections and elastic tips. This allows either gyro to function independently for playing or to be combined with another gyro of the same type, providing universal adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of designing an incomplete assistant gyro that depends on the main gyro, the patent inverts the approach by making the assistant gyro a complete, independent unit that can also serve as a main gyro, thereby enabling independent playability.
3Ease of manufacture
If the axis body is locked to a gyro ring mainly by using a cover, then the gyro can be assembled, but when the cover is removed the gyro ring is separated from the axis body making assembling inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-provides a gyro body that is integrated with the gyro ring through a locking structure. This preliminary integration ensures that when the cover is removed, the gyro ring remains securely attached to the axis body, eliminating the need for reassembly and maintaining convenience.
4Adaptability or versatility
If conventional toy gyros are designed to be detachable to replace or add accessories, then the gyro can be enhanced, but the novelty is lost and win rate can hardly be greatly improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two complete gyros into one playable unit, creating a novel combined gyro that hasn't been seen before. This merging approach provides new gameplay mechanics (automatic separation during rotation) that enhance competitiveness and maintain novelty, rather than simply replacing accessories.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system significantly increases play interest and win rates by allowing for novel separation and recombination strategies, providing a stable and long-lasting structure that protects components during impact and rotation, thus enhancing user experience and market appeal.
Implementation Method 1
the tips of the gyros are all elastic tips, so that when the upper gyro in the group of gyros is impacted or rotation thereof is blocked during rotation, the upper gyro automatically releases the connection with the lower gyro, and is ejected under the action of the elastic tip

AI summary
The automatic detachable combined toy gyro of the present invention is characterized in that: the gyro is formed by vertically jointing at least two gyros, and tips of the gyros are all elastic tips, so that an upper gyro in the gyros automatically releases the connection with a lower gyro when it is impacted or the rotation thereof is blocked during rotation, and the upper gyro is ejected under the action of the elastic tip to form two separately rotating gyros. During playing of the present invention, the gyro may be split into two or three gyros during a confrontational match, which greatly increases the aggressiveness of the gyro and obtain a higher win rate; moreover, because the tip of the gyro is an elastic tip, during splitting and separating when playing, the upper gyro is generally split by the elasticity of the tip thereof, and has little impact on the lower gyro; in addition, when falling to the ground, the upper gyro may implement soft landing by using the buffer effect of the elasticity, so as to effectively protect the tip and maintain the stability of the rotation.
