Reset Assembly Mechanism for Key Pressing Toy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing key pressing toys with reset functions require tedious disassembly and manual repositioning of reset objects, limiting user independence and age universality.
Innovation Solution
A key pressing toy design featuring a shell with a pressing assembly and a reset assembly that includes an elastic member, a reset seat, and a pushing member, allowing users to reset keys by pressing the reset seat externally, eliminating the need for disassembly and enabling independent resetting by young users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the target object is retracted into the toy after pressing, then the training effect for users' hands-on and observation abilities is improved, but the reset process becomes tedious requiring disassembly and manual repositioning
Solution Approach 1:
The reset assembly enables the target objects to reset automatically through a simple external operation. When the user presses the reset seat, the pushing member is activated to push all retracted target objects back to their initial positions simultaneously, making the system self-serving rather than requiring manual intervention for each component
Solution Approach 2:
The reset mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: the reset seat for user input, the pushing member for execution, and the elastic member for power storage. This segmentation allows the complex reset function to be achieved through a simple external action while maintaining reliability of the training effect
2Device complexity
If manual repositioning of each target object is required for reset, then the structure remains simple, but young users cannot complete the reset independently reducing age universality
Solution Approach 1:
The reset assembly enables the target objects to reset automatically through a simple external operation. When the user presses the reset seat, the pushing member is activated to push all retracted target objects back to their initial positions simultaneously, making the system self-serving rather than requiring manual intervention for each component
Solution Approach 2:
The reset assembly serves multiple functions: it provides resetting capability for all target objects simultaneously, maintains structural simplicity through modular design, and enables independent operation by young users through the intuitive press operation on the exposed reset seat
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 design enhances reset convenience and age universality by allowing quick and independent resetting of keys without disassembling the shell, improving user experience and accessibility for all ages.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic member arranged in the shell... the elastic member provides acting force that drives the reset seat to reset

AI summary
A key pressing toy with reset function relates to the technical field of toys, including a shell, a pressing assembly arranged on the shell, and a reset assembly slidingly arranged on the shell; the pressing assembly includes a plurality of reset keys exposed outside the shell; the reset assembly includes an elastic member arranged in the shell, a reset seat slidingly arranged on the shell, a pushing member arranged on the reset seat, and the reset seat is exposed outside the shell; and when the reset keys are pressed, they will depress inside the shell, the reset seat drives the pushing member to slide, the pushing member pushes the reset keys back to their original positions, and the elastic member provides acting force that drives the reset seat to reset.
