Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to an egg-drawing toy with an adjustable support spacing.


BACKGROUND

Drawing different shapes and colors of textures and patterns on eggs or toy eggs is a favorite graffiti activity of children, which can exert children's imagination and stimulate their creativity; In order to improve the operability of egg drawing activities, a variety of egg-drawing toys have appeared on the market, but the present egg-drawing toys are basically horizontal. When horizontal egg-drawing toys are used, eggs (including eggs or toy eggs) are placed directly above two groups of support wheels, and one group of support wheels is externally powered as a driving wheel to realize the rotation of eggs. The stability of horizontal egg-drawing toys is poor, and the rotation effects of eggs and toy eggs are different.

In Embodiment 2, when in use, the egg is placed on the lower support by rotating the upper compression bar. After the upper compression bar is elastically reset under the action of the torsion spring, the upper support acts on the upper part of the egg to realize positioning. The compression spring makes appropriate expansion and contraction adjustment according to the size of the egg. Under the action of the compression spring and the torsion spring, the upper support and the lower support cling to both ends of the egg. After that, the motor is started by the switch, and the power of the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the intermediate gear and the input gear, and the lower support rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft, thus realizing the rotation of the egg. Drawing can be performed when the brush approaches the egg, so that a circle of lines can be drawn on the egg during the rotation of the egg.


The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be modified and varied. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
