The invention relates to a toy top, and particularly to a combined type toy top separated through induction control.
An existing toy top basically is composed of a single top, including: a shaft sleeve body, a top cover, a top slice and a top top. A top launcher is connected with the top cover to implement that the top is launched to rotate. In order to increase or improve the performance of the top to win a competitor in a competition, for the most part the existing toy top is designed to be assembled and intensified, the top is designed to be a connection manner which is easily disassembled and assembled, and the shaft sleeve body is designed to be additionally equipped and lengthened, so that the top may be disassembled easily and quickly to replace or add accessories. However, no matter how it is modified and intensified, the toy top only rotates and competes in the competition process with one top, thus it is difficult to greatly improve the win rate, and a demountable toy top is very widespread. Therefore, players gradually lose sense of curiosity to such a toy top, and the top can hardly gain the favor of players in the long run.
An existing separable combined type toy top resorts to continually hitting against a competitor's top in a competition process to relieve a clamping connection of a main top from an auxiliary top so that the main top is popped out and thus the toy top is separated into two tops to attack the competitor's top. However, relieving the clamping connection by means of collision has greater uncertainty. Perhaps the competition is over but the combined type top is not separated into two tops yet. For this reason, the existing separable combined type toy top lack of controllability and is unable to be separated as players wish.
In allusion to the problems in the prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a combined type toy top separated through induction control which can control tops to separate in the playing process without affecting rotation of the tops.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention adopts such a technical scheme as below: a combined type toy top separated through induction control, including: a main top, an auxiliary top and an elastic part, where when the combined type toy top is in a first state, the main top is limited and fixed, by the auxiliary top, above the auxiliary top, and meanwhile the main top compresses the elastic part so that the elastic part is compressed; the combined type toy top is characterized in that a sensing mechanism is arranged in the auxiliary top, the sensing mechanism can controllably relieve limiting fixation of the main top from the auxiliary top under a second state through induction control, the main top pops up under an elasticity action of the elastic part, and accordingly the main top and the auxiliary top rotate independently.
In the invention, the limiting fixation may be that the main top rotates and is clamped and connected above the auxiliary top, meanwhile the auxiliary top further includes a connecting piece used to clamp and connect with the main top, in the second state, the sensing mechanism is triggered by induction to drive the connecting piece to rotate, and the main top relieves the clamping and connecting status after the rotation of the connecting piece. The limiting fixation may also be that a shotpin is inserted into the main top so that the main top is fixed above the auxiliary top, meanwhile the auxiliary top further includes a solenoid valve used to drive the shotpin to move, in the second state, the sensing mechanism is triggered by induction so that the solenoid valve drives the shotpin to move, and the main top relieves the limiting fixation after the shotpin moves. Of course, other manners of limiting fixation are also permissible, for example, the main top jacks up to relieve the limiting fixation, etc.
The sensing mechanism of the invention includes: an inductor inducting an outside inductive source, a motor driving the connecting piece to rotate and a power source supplying power for the motor. Circuits of the motor and of the power source are interconnected when the inductor receives an induction from the outside inductive source, at the moment the motor works and drives the connecting piece to rotate, and further relives the clamping connection of the main top so that the main top pops up under the elasticity action of the elastic part, and accordingly the main top and the auxiliary top rotate independently. The sensing mechanism also may be an inductive moving part that can move after being induced by the outside inductive source, the inductive moving part is clamped and connected with the connecting piece, after receiving the induction of the outside inductive source, the inductive moving part moves and relieves the clamping connection of the connecting piece to make the connecting piece rotate and relieve the clamping connection of the main top so that the main top pops up under the elasticity action of the elastic part, and accordingly the main top and the auxiliary top rotate independently.
The inductor may be an inductive switch connected in series with the motor and the power source, the inductive switch is switched on when it receives the induction from the outside inductive source, the circuits of the motor and of the power source are interconnected, and the power source supplies power for the motor to make it work. The inductor also may be an inductive circuit connected with an electric control switch connected in series with the motor and the power source, when the inductive circuit receives the induction from the outside inductive source, the inductive circuit sends a signal to switch on the electric control switch, the circuits of the motor and of the power source are interconnected, so that the power source supplies power for the motor to make it work.
Meanwhile, manners of induction of the inductor may be diversified. For example, the inductor is a photosensitive inductor, a magnetic control inductor, a heat-sensitive inductor or a sound control inductor.
The inductive circuit and the circuits of the motor and of the power source are integrated on a circuit board, the circuit board is mounted at an edge-adjoining position inside the auxiliary top, the motor is mounted in a middle position inside the auxiliary top, and the power source is mounted aside the motor.
The inductive circuit is a photosensitive inductive circuit, a magnetic control inductive circuit, a heat-sensitive inductive circuit or a sound control inductive circuit, the one or more different inductive circuits and the circuits of the motor and of the power source are integrated on the same circuit board, and when multiple inductive circuits are integrated on the circuit board, each of the inductive circuits may separately control the electric control switch to switch on. Therefore, it is implemented that various manners of induction may be used to control one toy top.
Further, the inductor is a magnetic control inductive circuit, and the magnetic control inductive circuit includes an IC chip and a magnetic control switch, when the magnetic control switch receives a magnetic induction from the outside inductive source, the magnetic control switch is switched on to make the circuits be interconnected, and when it is detected that the magnetic control switch is switched on, the IC chip sends a control signal to control the motor to work.
In order that the toy top is compact in structure and the connecting piece is intermittent in rotation, the motor is arranged below the connecting piece in an accumbent manner, an end of a rotating shaft of the motor is connected with a toggle piece, when the motor is working, the rotating shaft rotates and drives the toggle piece to rotate, and the toggle piece rotates and drives the connecting piece to rotate to relieve the clamping connection of the main top.
In order to reduce the rotational speed of the connecting piece to ensure that sufficient time is provided for separating the main top, between the motor and the toggle piece there is provided with a planetary gear, one end of the planetary gear is connected with the rotating shaft of the motor, and the other end is connected with the toggle piece. A transmission ratio is reduced by means of the planetary gear.
In order to further reduce energy consumption and prolong the service life of the sensing mechanism, the auxiliary top is further provided with an automatic stop detection device, in the second state, when it is detected that the limiting fixation of the main top by the auxiliary top is relieved, the automatic stop detection device controls the sensing mechanism to disconnect the induction control.
In order to ensure that when the connecting piece is driven by the motor to rotate, the main top does not rotate accordingly due to clamping connection friction thereby avoiding failure of relieving the clamping connection for implementing separation, an upper surface of the upper top holder is provided with a socket recess, a bottom of a top holder of the main top is correspondingly provided with a docking ring, a position of the docking ring corresponding to the socket recess is provided with a socket convex that mates with the socket recess, when the main top is clamped and connected with the auxiliary top, the socket convex of the docking ring is socketed into the socket recess of the upper top holder; in this way, it is implemented that driven by the motor, the connecting piece may rotate relative to the main top to relieve the clamping connection of the main top.
Further, in order that when the main top is docked with the auxiliary top, it is implemented that the connecting piece is automatically clamped and connected with the main top, the connecting piece may be rotatably mounted in the middle of the mounting base of the auxiliary top, a middle of the connecting piece is provided with a splined clamping and connecting hole, a side wall at an upper edge of the clamping and connecting hole is provided with an incised bevel edge, the connecting piece is provided with a return spring to make the connecting piece reverse to return after a rotation, a top top holder of the main top is correspondingly provided with a splined clamping lug; when the socket convex is aligned to the socket recess and a malposition exists between the clamping lug and the clamping and connecting hole, the main top is downward inserted into the auxiliary top, in this process, the clamping lug squeezes the incised bevel edge and generates a component force to make the connecting piece rotate so that the clamping lug is clamped into the clamping and connecting hole, after which, under the action of the return spring, the connecting piece reverses to return so that the clamping lug is clamped into the clamping and connecting hole, in this way, the main top and the auxiliary top are combined into a whole.
In the combined type toy top of the invention, a sensing mechanism is arranged in the auxiliary top, the sensing mechanism can controllably relieve limiting fixation of the main top from the auxiliary top when the sensing mechanism is under an induction control so that the combined type toy top is changed from the first state to the second state, namely, the main top pops up under the elasticity action of the elastic part, and accordingly the main top and the auxiliary top rotate independently. Thus, players can separate the tops through induction at will; meanwhile, because of inductive separation, rotation of the toy top is not influenced, thus, in the whole competition process, the toy top is high in controllability, high in operability, novel in playing method, and higher in interestingness, the top is divided into two parts, attack force of tops on one's own side is greatly increased, the win rate is higher, and thus the top can gain the favor of more players. The inductor may be a low-end inductive moving part, or a medium-end inductive switch, or a high-end inductive circuit. Therefore, toy tops having the same functions but different prices may be manufactured to meet different consumers' demands. For another reason, one or more inductive circuits may be integrated on one circuit board, and when multiple inductive circuits are integrated on the same circuit board, each of the inductive circuits may separately control the motor to work. Therefore, it is implemented that different manners of induction may be used to trigger the separation of one toy top, the playing methods are diversified, and the controllability and the interestingness of the toy top may be further improved. The motor is provided with an automatic stop detection device, after the connecting piece rotates and relieves the clamping connection of the main top, two contact pins of the automatic stop detection device exactly are out of contact with the metal block so that the motor is controlled to stop. This design may save power consumption of the power source and make the service life of the power source longer. The main top is directly downward inserted into the auxiliary top so that the connecting piece is squeezed and rotated and then reverses to return, in this way, it is implemented that the main top is clamped and connected. After the main top is clamped and connected with the auxiliary top, they are fixed. Therefore, it is ensured that the main top is not driven to rotate when the connecting piece is driven by the motor to rotate, thereby a separation success rate is increased. In addition, the performance of the toy top may be improved as the main top and the auxiliary top are fixed. The combined type toy top separated through induction control of the invention is so designed slickly that it solves the problem that an existing separable toy top is unable to be subjected to autonomous control, so that players have higher control power in the competition to improve the interestingness and initiative in the game, and achieve the objectives of cultivating children's ability of operation, ability of judgment and ability of competition, etc.

In this embodiment, the sensing mechanism 4 also includes an inductor inducting an outside inductive source, a motor 42 driving the connecting piece 5 to rotate and a power source 43 supplying power for the motor 42. What is different is that in this embodiment, the sensing mechanism 4 is an infrared induction circuit, and the circuit board 41 is provided with an infrared receiver. The main top 1 and the auxiliary top 2 in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment I, the only difference is that a position of the auxiliary top 2 corresponding to the infrared receiver is provided with an orifice so that outside infrared may irradiate on the infrared receiver. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, an end of the outside inductive source is provided with a sensor bar of an infrared lamp, and the sensor bar is provided with a lamp button. The difference between the circuits in this embodiment and the circuits in Embodiment I resides in the inductive circuit, namely, the magnetic control inductive circuit is changed into an infrared induction circuit. In the playing process, the infrared lamp is turned on, and infrared is aligned to the rotating auxiliary top 2. When infrared enters into the orifice of the auxiliary top 2, the infrared receiver may receive the infrared, and also sends a signal to the IC chip, and then the IC chip sends a control signal to control the motor to work.
The combined type toy top of the invention can be used in a top competition. When the top is designed, diversified main tops 1 and auxiliary tops 2 having different attack abilities may be designed and assembled. Then the power source control switch 44 is switched on. After a game is started, players launch their tops to an arena to hit against each other. According to their own judgments, the players may bring the sensor bar close to the rotating auxiliary top 2 so that the inductive circuits are interconnected, the motor 42 works and drives the connecting piece 5 to rotate and relieve the clamping connection of the main top 1, at the moment the main top 1 pops up under the action of the spring seat 31 and the spring 32, then breaks away from the auxiliary top 2 under the action of rotational inertia thereof, and finally lands and continues rotating. Whereas the auxiliary top 2 can still continue rotating after the main top 1 is popped out. Namely, the combined type top is separated into two separately independent tops to rotate, thereby forming a competitive situation of two against one, which greatly improves the win rate, increases the controllability and interestingness of the toy top in a competition, and cultivates children's ability of operation, ability of judgment and ability of competition, etc.
