This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111388703.2, filed on Nov. 22, 2021, entitled “Educational Toy”, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The disclosure relates to the field of children's toy products, in particularly to an educational toy.
Educational toys are toys that develop intelligence in the process of playing. There are many types of educational toys, such as building blocks or assembling games, which are common educational toys on the market.
Through playing with educational toys, the child's hand-foot coordination, hand-eye coordination and other physical functions are trained and gradually established. However, most of the existing educational toys are designed for developing children's intelligence and coordinating children's physical functions, but these educational toys are missing the interaction between the child and the parents, and most of the educational toys are played independently by the child. When the child is playing the toys, parents may accompany the child and guides them how to play the toys. Sometimes, the child may be too concentrated on the operation of the toys and lack communication with the parents. As such, parents' patience may be gradually lost during the accompanying process. Accordingly, the existing educational toys have shortcomings and need to be improved.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, one object of the present disclosure is to provide an educational toy.
In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure provide an educational toy. The educational toy comprises a base for placing on an external placement surface, a rotatable frame provided on the base and is capable of being rotated on the base when driven by external force, at least one clamping claw located on the rotatable frame and configured for clamping a gift, and at least one impact device arranged on a peripheral side of the base and configured for impacting the gift on the clamp claw when driven by external force.
In some embodiments, the impact device comprises an impact base provided on the peripheral side of the base and matched with the external placement surface, an elastic member located on the impact base and bendable away from the rotatable frame when driven by external force, and an impact part located on the elastic member and configured for impacting the gift on the clamping claw when the external force on the elastic member is removed.
In some embodiments, the elastic member is a spring.
In some embodiments, the impact base is provided with a base sleeve for inserting a first end of the spring, and the base sleeve is pierced with a base pin for securing the first end of the spring to the base sleeve.
In some embodiments, the impact part is provided with an impact part sleeve for inserting the end of the spring, and the impact part sleeve is pierced with an impact part pin to secure a second end of the spring to the impact sleeve.
In some embodiments, the impact part is glove-shaped.
In some embodiments, the base is provided with a fixed rod, and the rotatable frame is provided with a rotatable sleeve for fitting over an outside of the fixed rod.
In some embodiments, a stabilizing device is provided between the rotatable sleeve and the fixed rod to improve the stability of rotation when the rotatable frame rotates.
In some embodiments, the stabilizing device is a bearing that is arranged within the rotatable sleeve.
In some embodiments, an upper end of the rotatable frame is provided with a holding groove for holding a dice when the dice is thrown in.
In some embodiments, the clamping claw is an elastic clamping claw.
In some embodiments, the base is provided with a positioning disk for positioning the impact base on the outside of the rotatable frame.
In some embodiments, a peripheral side of the positioning plate is provided with a clamping groove for matching with the impact base to anchor the impact base to the positioning plate.
In some embodiments, the positioning plate is provided with a decompression device for massaging the fingers when the fingers are pressed.
In some embodiments, the decompression device comprises a plurality of decompression holes opened on the positioning plate, and a flexible button provided on the decompression hole.
In some embodiments, the flexible button is a silicone button.
In some embodiments, the clamping claw holds an accommodation egg for accommodating the gift; the accommodation egg comprises a left shell, and a right shell located on the left shell and separatable from the left shell when the accommodation egg is impacted by the impact device.
In some embodiments, the right shell is in snap connection with the left shell.
The educational toy provided by the present disclosure has the following advantages.
1. Gifts can be obtained by rotating the rotatable frame on the base and impacting the accommodation egg held by the clamping claws on the rotatable frame by the impact device. When the rotatable frame is rotated, concentration is needed to aim at the accommodation egg that follows the rotation of the rotatable frame, such that the child's concentration ability can be trained. When the impact device impacts, it needs to rely on the rebound of the spring when the force is applied away from the rotatable frame and then the applied force is removed to drive the glove-shaped impact part to impact. During the use process, the child's hands-on ability and hand-eye coordination ability are improved. At the same time, during use, there is competition and interaction between the child and the parents in order to be able to hit more accommodation eggs and get more gifts. The increasing interaction between the children improves the children's social skills and language skills.
2. The gift in the present disclosure is placed within the accommodation eggs. Children and parents will not be aware of what gifts are in the accommodation eggs before the accommodation eggs is opened. This uncertainty makes the toys more interesting. When the parents get a gift that the child desires or the gift in the hands of the child is not what they want, the child is encouraged to exchange gifts he/she already have with the parents to further improve the child's language ability. Vice versa, the parents may exchanges the gifts that the child likes, and develops the child's sharing feelings.
3. A plurality of silicone buttons are arranged on the positioning plate, so that children can exercise finger flexibility by pressing the silicone buttons and improve the child's concentration when pressing. Furthermore, it can also perform some games such as odd and even number training to exercise children's calculation ability and logical ability. Adults can also press the silicone button to make the massage effect of the silicone button stimulate the nerve endings of the fingers and improve the decompression effect for the body and mind.
The specific implements of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure more clearly and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure provides an educational toy. When installing, first aligning the rotating hole 22 on the positioning plate 2 with the fixed rod 111 on the base 11. Then, the positioning disk 2 is fitted over the fixed rod 111. Afterwards, the rotatable frame 12 is installed, and the rotating sleeve 121 on the rotating frame 12 is fitted over the fixed rod 111. Affected by its own gravity, the rotatable frame 12 pushes the rotating sleeve 121 to abut against the positioning plate 2. Then, the egg 4 containing the gift is clamped on the elastic clamping claw 13. At last, the base sleeve 311 on the installed impact device is engaged with the clamping groove 21 on the positioning plate 2 to complete the positioning of the impact device.
The present disclosure provides the educational toy. When in use, a first user throws a dice in the holding groove 123 on the rotatable frame 12. Then, a second user rotates the rotatable frame 12. During the rotation of the rotatable frame 12, the first user impacts the egg 4 on the rotatable frame 12 through the impact device (the number of dice points the impacting times of the impact device), so that the egg 4 falls from the elastic clamping claws 13 of the rotatable frame 12. The right shell 42 and the left shell 41 accommodating the egg 4 are separated when impacted by the impact device, so that the gift in the egg 4 is exposed in front of users.
When the rotatable frame 12 is rotated, it is necessary to focus on the eggs 4 that follow the rotation of the rotatable frame 12, so that the child's concentration ability can be trained. At the same time, the impact device needs to rely on the rebound of the spring 33 when the force is applied away from the rotatable frame 12 and then the applied force is withdrawn to drive the glove-shaped impact part 32 to strike. Therefore, the child's hands-on ability and hand-eye coordination ability are improved during use. At the same time, in the process of use, there is competition and interaction between the child and the parents in order to be able to impact more eggs 4 to get more gifts, which increases the interaction between the child and the parents and improves the child's social skills and language skills. In addition, when the parents get the gift that the child desires or the gift in the child's hand is not what they want, the child may exchange gifts with the parents, and that improves the child's language ability. Vice versa, parents can exchange gifts they like with the child, which develops the child's sharing feeling.
In addition, there are a number of silicone buttons 24 on the positioning plate 2, and the child can exercise finger flexibility by pressing the silicone buttons 24. In addition, some games such as odd and even number training can be used to exercise children's numeracy and logical abilities. Moreover, adults can also press the silicone button 24 so that the massage effect of the silicone button 24 stimulates the nerve endings of the fingers and decompress the body and mind.
The above is only the preferred implementation mode of the present disclosure. It should be noted that for ordinary technicians in the technical field, without deviating from the principles of the disclosure, a number of improvements and refinements may be made, which shall also be considered as the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
