The present utility model relates to the field of building blocks, particularly to a gravity hammer block for anti-gravity ball sliding triggered by swinging.
Building blocks are typically solid wooden or plastic toys, often decorated with letters or pictures on each surface, allowing for various arrangements and construction activities. They come in various styles, promoting intellectual development in children and can be used to build houses, animals, and more.
Currently, there is a type of building block that involves constructing a block slide, placing a small ball in it, and allowing the ball to roll down from top to bottom due to its own gravity and inertia. However, the playability of this product is limited because the ball can only descend based on the principle of gravity. As a result, users quickly lose interest in the product. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a solution to address this issue.
In view of the above, the main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a gravity hammer block that triggers anti-gravity ball sliding by swinging, effectively addressing the issue of limited playability in the user's experience of block slides.
To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model employs the following technical solution:
A gravity hammer block for anti-gravity ball sliding triggered by swinging, comprising a base, a swinging component, and a gravity ball. The base is connected to a block slide and has a slot that interfaces with the block slide. The swinging component is capable of swinging back and forth and is set within the slot. The swinging component consists of two symmetrical first and second swing arms that open and close toward each other, with a stopper at the tail end of the first swing arm. The gravity ball is located at the tail end of the second swing arm.
Preferably, the slot is U-shaped, with a fixed shaft at the top of the slot. The swinging component has a pivot portion on it, which can be rotationally mounted on the fixed shaft.
Preferably, the stopper is integrally connected to the tail end of the first swing arm.
Preferably, the angle between the first swing arm and the second swing arm is 135 degrees.
Preferably, the tail end of the second swing arm has a clamping groove in which the gravity ball is held.
Preferably, the diameter of the gravity ball is 1.5 cm, and it weighs 15 grams.
Compared to the prior art, the present utility model has clear advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, based on the above technical solution:
This product can be connected to a block slide, allowing the ball to move against gravity, thus altering the ball's path and increasing the functionality and playability of the product. One or more of these products can be installed in a block slide. When the ball falls due to its own gravity and touches the stopper, the gravity ball rotates 180 degrees, using the gravity ball to transport the ball anti-gravity to a different position. After triggering the stopper once, the block slide must be manually restored to its original state to trigger the switch again, increasing the variety of play options for block slide products. Moreover, it is compatible with existing block products in the market.
Please refer to
The base 10 is connected to the block slide and has a slot 11 that connects to the block slide. In this embodiment, the base 10 is an integral injection-molded structure, and the slot 11 is U-shaped with a fixed shaft 12 positioned at the top of the slot.
The swinging component 20 can be set within the slot 11, with the swinging component 20 having two symmetrical first swing arms 21 and second swing arms 22 that open and close toward each other. A stopper 23 is located at the tail end of the first swing arm 21. In this embodiment, the swinging component 20 has a pivot portion 24 that can be rotationally mounted on a fixed shaft 12 at the top of the U-shaped slot 11. The stopper 23 is integrally connected to the tail end of the first swing arm 21, and the angle between the first swing arm 21 and the second swing arm 22 is 135 degrees. A clamping groove 201 is located at the tail end of the second swing arm 22.
The gravity ball 30 is positioned at the tail end of the second swinging arm 22. In this embodiment, the gravity ball 30 is clamped within the clamping groove 201, and it has a diameter of 1.5 cm and weighs 15 g.
The working process of this preferred embodiment is described as follows:
During installation, the base 10 is connected to the block slide to create a complete slide path for the rolling ball. The swinging component 20 is manually rotated 180 degrees to prepare for triggering, with the stopper 23 positioned outside the slot 11, and the gravity ball 30 above the slot 11.
During use, when the ball rolls through the block slide and reaches the slot 11, it triggers the stopper 23. The gravity ball 30 drops 180 degrees, striking the ball and causing it to roll anti-gravity. After the stopper 23 is triggered, the swinging component 20 needs to be manually rotated 180 degrees again to restore the gravity ball 30 to its initial state.
The key design of this utility model is that it can be connected to a block slide, enabling the ball to move against gravity, thereby changing the ball's path and increasing the functionality and playability of the product. One or more of these products can be installed in a block slide. When the ball falls due to its own gravity and touches the stopper, the gravity ball rotates 180 degrees, using the gravity ball to transport the ball anti-gravity to a different position. After triggering the stopper once, the block slide must be manually restored to its original state to trigger the switch again, increasing the variety of play options for block slide products. Moreover, it is compatible with existing block products in the market.
