The present application is a national phase entry under 35 U.S.C ยง371 of International Application No. PCT/CN2015/075901 filed Apr. 3, 2015, which claims priority from Chinese Application No. 201410402522.4 filed Aug. 16, 2014, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of toy, and in particular, to an automatic detachable combined toy gyro.
A conventional toy gyro is basically formed by a single gyro including an axis body, a cover, a blade, and a tip. By connecting a gyro ejector and the cover, the gyro is ejected out to rotate. In order to increase or change the performance of the gyro so that the own gyro can surpass the opposite side in a match, most conventional toy gyros are designed to be capable of being assembled and enhanced, for example, the axis body may be designed to be additionally elongated, so that the gyro may be detached to replace or add accessories. However, no matter how to be improved and strengthened, the toy gyro merely performs rotational confrontation as one gyro during playing, and the win rate can hardly be greatly improved. Moreover, the detachable assembly of a toy gyro has been very popular, and therefore, such a gyro gradually losses the novelty, and can hardly be favored by players for a long time. Although a detachable combined toy gyro is invented, it has the following defects: first, a main gyro is ejected by an assistant gyro disposed there under, and in this way, not only a spring must have a large elasticity, the service life is short, but also a lower tip of the upper gyro is easily damaged after being ejected and the rotation stability of the assistant gyro is affected due to the large elasticity; second, the assistant gyro has an incomplete structure, and cannot be ejected separately as a gyro to play, and can only be attached to the main gyro for use; third, for the gyro, an axis body is locked to a gyro ring mainly by using a cover, so that when the cover is removed, the gyro ring is separated from the axis body, and it is hard to be used in the conventional combined gyro, the assembling is inconvenient, and requirements of mass consumers cannot be met.
An objective of the present invention is: directed to the above mentioned problems and defects, providing an automatic detachable combined toy gyro that can be automatically separated into two or more during playing, can effectively improve the win rate of confrontation and improve interestingness of playing, and has a stable structure, stable rotation and a long service life.
On the basis of this, a further objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic detachable combined toy gyro, including upper and lower gyros that have the same structure, can be combined for playing, can also be ejected separately for playing, and are convenient in assembling.
On the basis of this, a still further objective of the present invention is to provide an automatic detachable combined toy gyro, in which after a cover is removed, a gyro body is still stably combined with an axis body, and assembling is more convenient and faster during multi-gyro combination.
The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:
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 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.
The present invention is generally formed by jointing two gyros. Definitely, multiple gyros may be overlapped sequentially according to a requirement. A preferred solution is two.
In order that the gyro in the present invention can be ejected separately for playing, and also it is convenient to combine two or more gyros in an overlapping manner, the gyros generally select the same structure. An upper end of the axis body of each gyro is provided with a detachable cover, each cover is provided with a connection structure fitting an ejector, and each gyro can be ejected separately by the ejector for playing by using cooperation of the connection structure on the cover and the ejector. In this way, even a consumer purchases merely one gyro, it is also valuable, and it is unnecessary to purchase the whole combined gyro; likewise, by purchasing one more gyro and removing one cover thereof to perform free combination of the two gyros, the combined gyro has a function of being split and separated after being impacted, so that it is more interesting, and has stronger aggressivity and higher win rate during confrontational playing, thereby having more selections.
Each gyro includes an axis body and a gyro ring sleeved on the axis body. The elastic tip is connected under the axis body, and the elastic tip on the upper gyro is in a compressed state when the upper gyro is connected to the lower gyro. To implement more convenient disconnection of the two gyros when they are impacted and blocked after the connection, the upper gyro and the lower gyro are connected into one piece in a manner that they can be separated rotatably. Moreover, there may be various connection manners between the two gyros, for example, the upper gyro and the lower gyro are jointed by using rotational clamping structures disposed on two gyro rings; or the upper gyro and the lower gyro are jointed by fitting and clamping of the two axis bodies.
In order that the present invention can form gyros having different shape structures or gyros having different heights of the center of gravity (when the center of gravity is low, the gyro has a strong endurance; and when the center of gravity is high, the gyro can perform top attack) by assembling in different directions during use, so that the user can select different attack manners according to the characteristic of the gyro of the opposite side, the direction in which the gyro ring is mounted on the axis body may be turned over vertically.
To implement simpler structure of the present invention, the elastic tip is formed by a tip body connected to a lower end of the axis body and provided with a spring seat in an inner cavity thereof, and a spring disposed on the spring seat in the inner cavity of the tip body, where an upper end of the spring presses against the axis body, and when the upper gyro is connected to the lower gyro, the spring of the elastic tip is compressed and retracted into the axis body together with the upper tip body.
To ensure that the combination of the gyro body and the axis body is still stable after the cover of the lower gyro is removed, a locking structure that can be disposed to fit an outer wall of the axis body may be disposed on the gyro ring. To implement simpler structure and more convenient operation, the locking structure is generally a protrusion disposed on an inner wall of the gyro ring. The axis body includes an axis sleeve and a clamp ring rotatably disposed on the axis sleeve, and the clamp ring is provided with pins extending out of the axis sleeve. An outer wall of the axis sleeve is correspondingly provided with guide slots that can be penetrated by the pins for horizontal rotation, and block structures for the protrusions of the gyro ring to slide in and implementing reliable connection of the gyro ring and the axis sleeve with the pressing of the pins. The elastic tip is connected to a lower portion of the axis sleeve in a vertically movable manner.
In the present invention, the gyro is designed to be formed by jointing and combining at least two gyros, and a tip of each gyro adopts an elastic tip structure, so that during playing, the upper gyro is movably connected to the upper portion of the lower gyro, the elastic tip is pressed, and therefore, when the upper gyro in the 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 own elastic tip to form two separately rotating gyros, thereby implementing that the gyro can be split into two or three gyros during a confrontation match, which greatly increases the aggressivity of the gyro to increase the win rate, and also has a novel playing method, which is extremely interesting and can get favorites of more players. 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. Meanwhile, the elastic tip of the lower gyro also provides a buffer effect for the gyro, so as to prevent the impact influence and the over-heavy gyro from damaging the tip and improve the stability of the gyro; therefore, the structure is reliable, the rotation is stable, the service life is long, and the problems of the conventional toy gyro that merely one gyro is used for rotational confrontation during playing so that the win rate is low and it is less interesting, and that the gyro is instable in rotation after splitting and has a short service life, and the like are effectively solved. In addition, the present invention adopts the locking structure that is disposed on the gyro ring and can be fitted with the outer wall of the axis body, so that after the cover of the gyro is removed, the gyro body can still be reliably combined with the axis body, and the assembly is more convenient and faster. The present invention further adopts a structure in which the direction of mounting the gyro ring on the axis body may be turned over vertically, the user can form different heights of center of gravity of the gyro by assembling in different directions, so that the user can select different assembling manners for attack according to the characteristic of the gyro of the opposite side, thereby further increasing the interestingness of playing. In the present invention, two or more gyros are skillfully combined into one piece, and separation is implemented by confrontation and impact, so that the game is extremely interesting, and a player can gain a higher win rate during a match; meanwhile the operational ability and competitiveness of children may be trained, and the gyro has a reliable structure, stable rotation, and a long service life, thereby having a broad market prospective.
The present invention is further described through the following accompanying drawings.
