Combined Toy Top with Reversible Rings for Attack Power
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy tops have limited attack power and victory rates due to single-layer designs and restrictive assembly methods, allowing only one way of assembly and gameplay, making them difficult to use effectively in combat games.
Innovation Solution
A combined toy top design that allows for the assembly of upper and bottom tops with rotatable top rings on central axis bodies, enabling multiple assembly configurations and attack styles, along with a reliable snap connection and clutch transmission mechanism for secure and easy assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single-layer top design is used, then the structure is simple, but the attack power is insufficient and victory rate is low
Solution Approach 1:
The top is divided into multiple independent layers (first top and second top) that can be assembled together. Each layer maintains its own central axis body and top ring structure, allowing them to function semi-independently while contributing to combined attack power when assembled in combat games.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple top layers are merged into a single assembled unit where the first top and second top are connected through their central axis bodies and top rings. This merging creates a combined top structure that delivers greater attack power than individual single-layer tops while maintaining the simplicity of each component.
2Device complexity
If there is only one unified assembly direction for top ring and central axis body, then the structure is simple, but the gameplay diversity is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The top ring is designed with dynamic directional capability, allowing it to be installed on the central axis body in multiple orientations (front face upward or back face upward). This dynamic positioning capability enables four different assembly configurations, providing gameplay diversity while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The top ring and central axis body assembly structure is designed to accommodate multiple functions and configurations. The same basic components can be assembled in different directions to create varied attack patterns and gameplay strategies, making the structure universally adaptable to different game situations.
3Reliability
If the top ring is locked to the central axis body mainly through the top cap, then the connection is secure, but the assembly becomes very difficult
Solution Approach 1:
A dedicated connection structure consisting of a connection portion on the central axis body and a corresponding receptacle on the top ring serves as an intermediary mechanism. This intermediate connection system provides secure locking between the top ring and central axis body while enabling easy assembly and disassembly operations without relying solely on the top cap.

AI summary
A combined toy top comprises an upper top and a bottom top that are assembled together. The upper top and the bottom top both comprise a central axis body and a top ring fitting over the central axis body. The direction in which the top ring is installed on the central axis body can be turned over between a top face and a bottom face and, therefore, a combined toy top with a variety of assembly ways may be achieved by turning the direction of the top ring on the central axis body. As a result, more powerful attacks and a higher victory rate during games can be realized. Furthermore, a user may form tops of various shapes and centers of gravity by turning the direction of the top ring on the central axis body for adaption to different games and attacks.
