Therefore, these or other orientation terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a playset toy 10 including a playset device 1 and a trigger 2 separated and independently designed from the playset device 1.

The playset device 1 is movable between a closed position and an open position. The playset device 1 includes a plurality of device panels and at least one playset component 3 that is capable of providing interactive play with the trigger 2, and the at least one playset component 3 is disposed at least one of the plurality of device panels. When the playset device 1 is at the closed position, the playset device 1 is constructed as a three-dimensional cavity defined by the plurality of device panels, and the at least one playset component 3 is hidden in the three-dimensional cavity.

At least one of the plurality of device panels has a panel through hole 111, and the playset device 1 further includes a triggered member. The triggered member is disposed at a position where the trigger 2 is configured to trigger the triggered member after passing through the panel through hole 111.

When the playset device 1 is at the closed position and the trigger 2 enters the three-dimensional cavity through the panel through hole 111, the triggered member is triggered by the trigger 2 and drives at least one of the plurality of device panels to move outwards, allowing the playset device 1 to be switched into the open position from the closed position.

When the playset device 1 is at the open position, the at least one playset component 3 is exposed, and the trigger 2 entering the three-dimensional cavity is located at the at least one playset component 3 and is movable on the at least one playset component 3.

The playset toy 10 enhances a player's interest and pleasure in playing. The playset toy 10 includes the playset device 1 and the trigger 2 that are formed through independent design. The playset device 1 and the trigger 2 may be modeled in a variety of ways. For example, the playset device 1 at the open position may be modeled as a station, a house, a transmission tower, or the like. The playset device 1 at the closed position may be modeled as a polyhedral box, a sphere, a base, a car, or the like; and the trigger 2 may be modeled as a small car, a small person, a ball, an animal, or the like.

The playset device 1 includes the plurality of device panels, at least one playset component 3, and at least one triggered member. The playset device 1 has the closed position and the open position. When the playset device 1 is closed, the playset device 1 forms a closed three-dimensional cavity, and the playset component 3 is located in the three-dimensional cavity. The so-called three-dimensional cavity means that an interior of the cavity has an accommodation space defined by panels. When the triggered member is triggered by the trigger 2 to cause the playset device 1 to be opened, the playset component 3 is exposed, and the trigger 2 moves on the playset component 3.

The device panel may be a curved panel or a flat panel. Each of the plurality of device panels has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are disposed opposite to each other. The plurality of device panels includes at least one fixed panel 12 and at least two movable panels 11. The fixed panel 12 is fixed relative to a support surface such as a tabletop, the ground, and the like, and plays a support role at an expanded position. The movable panel 11 is movable relative to the fixed panel 12, thereby realizing a switch between the closed position and the open position of the playset device 1. The movable panel 11 is movable towards a first direction and towards a second direction opposite to the first direction. When the movable panel 11 moves towards the first direction, all the movable panels 11 and the fixed panels 12 are closed together, and edges of all the movable panels 11 and edges of the fixed panels 12 are adjacent to each other, so that the playset device 1 constructs a three-dimensional cavity. The first surface is an inner surface of the device panel, and the second surface is an outer surface of the device panel. At this time, the playset device 1 is at the closed position. When the movable panel 11 moves towards the second direction, the playset device 1 gradually moves from the closed position to the open position.

The triggered member is disposed at a first surface or a second surface of one of housing panels and may control one of movable panels 11. One of the housing panels has a panel through hole 111 defined thereon. The trigger 2 enters the three-dimensional cavity through the panel through hole 111, and the movable panel 11 moves towards the second direction after the trigger 2 triggers the triggered member. The playset device 1 is switched from the closed position to the open position.

The playset component 3 is disposed at a first surface of one of the device panels. When the playset device 1 is at the closed position, the playset component 3 is hidden in the three-dimensional cavity. When the playset device 1 is at the open position, the playset component 3 is exposed, and the trigger 2 moves on the playset component 3.

In an embodiment, the playset component 3 is an integral whole fixed onto one fixed panel 12. In this way, a design structure is simple, and a production cost is reduced.

In an embodiment, the playset component 3 includes a plurality of playset components 3. After the playset device 1 is opened, the plurality of playset components 3 are assembled with each other into an overall scene playset, which further enriches a visual experience. The assembly is divided into automatic assembly and manual assembly. When the plurality of playset components 3 are provided, it may be that a part of the playset components is assembled automatically after being expanded, and assembly of the rest of the playset components is realized through artificial rotation, swing, movement, and the like.

A playing process of the playset toy 10 is described below. All the movable panels 11 are first moved towards the first direction, and all the device panels are locked by the triggered member, so that the playset device 1 is made at the closed position. The trigger 2 is then placed into the panel through hole 111 and enters the three-dimensional cavity through the panel through hole 111, and then triggers the triggered member to be unlocked. After unlocking, the movable panel 11 moves towards the second direction, so that the playset device 1 moves to the open position. At this time, the playset component 3 is exposed, and the trigger 2 moves on the playset component 3.

The playset device 1 is switchable from the closed position to the open position through triggering of the trigger 2, which changes a previous manner of simply opening manipulated by hands, and provides a new experience for the player. Moreover, the playset device 1 gradually exposes a playset during opening, which provides a different visual experience for the player. The playset device 1 provides an activity space for the trigger 2, adds a new playing method, and improves a fun of playing.

In an embodiment, one of the device panels has a plurality of panel through holes 111 defined thereon, or the plurality of device panels have panel through holes 111 defined thereon, respectively. An entry of the trigger 2 from any one of panel through holes 111 may trigger the playset device 1 to open. However, when the trigger 2 enters difference panel through holes 111, different device panels may be triggered to move after entries, and different triggering steps may be realized. Therefore, there are various ways for the player to choose when playing. In addition, it may also be designed to match a plurality of triggers 2 to play together, i.e., opening of the playset device 1 is realized when all the plurality of triggers 2 enter from different panel through holes 111, respectively.

In an embodiment, when the movable panel 11 moves, it may be that all the movable panels 11 move simultaneously, or it also may be that a first movable panel 11 moves first, and then the first movable panel 11 simultaneously triggers a second movable panel 11 and a third movable panel 11 so that the second movable panel 11 and the third movable panel 11 move simultaneously, or it may also be that all the movable panels 11 move one by one successively.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the triggered member includes a latching member and an unlatching member 51. The latching member is configured to lock the device panel, to enable the playset device 1 to be maintained at the closed position. The unlatching member 51 has an end linked with the latching member and another end capable of being triggered by the trigger 2 entering the panel through hole 111. In response to the unlatching member 51 being triggered by the trigger 2, the unlatching member 51 releases locking of the latching member in a linkage manner, to enable the device panel to move outwards.

The triggered member is composed of the latching member and the unlatching member 51. In the embodiment, the latching member is movably connected to the fixed panel 12, and the movable panel 11 has a protruding block provided at a first surface of the movable panel 11.

In an embodiment, the movable panel 11 is rotatably connected to the fixed panel 12, the latching member is slidably connected to the fixed panel 12, and the unlatching member 51 is movably connected to the three-dimensional cavity. When the playset device 1 is at the closed position, the latching member is partially located above the protruding block and blocks the protruding block. When the unlatching member 51 is triggered by the trigger 2, the latching member is driven by the unlatching member 51 to slide, causing the latching member to be separated from the protruding block. The movable panel 11 rotates under an action of gravity. The triggered member includes a plurality of latching members. A quantity of the plurality of latching members is the same as a quantity of movable panels 11. Each of the plurality of latching members controls one movable panel 11, respectively. When the unlatching member 51 is triggered, all the latching members are unlocked.

In an embodiment, the latching member is connected to the movable panel 11, and the protruding block is disposed at the fixed panel. When closed, the protruding block blocks the latching member, so that the movable panel is made immovable. The latching member may also be a male-female docking member, one of which is provided at the movable panel 11 and the other is provided at the fixed panel 12. Closing is realized after the two docking members are docked with each other.

In an embodiment, the trigger 2 is a vibration trigger. When the vibration trigger enters the three-dimensional cavity, the unlatching member 51 is triggered by vibration of the vibration trigger caused by collision or shaking of the playset device 1. The way a playset housing collides or shakes may be realized by the player throwing the playset housing to the ground or holding and shaking the playset housing.

In an embodiment, the latching member is an elastic hook, and the unlatching member 51 is a toggle lever. A snapping block is provided at the first surface of the movable panel 11, and the elastic hook and the snapping block may be connected to and engaged with each other.

The first linkage member 61 is located between the first protruding block 112 and the second latching member 62, and the second linkage member 71 is located between the first linkage member 61 and the third latching member 72.

When the playset device 1 is in a closed state, the first latching member 52 blocks above the first protruding block 112, the second latching member 62 blocks above the second protruding block 113, and the third latching member 72 blocks above the third protruding block 114. When the unlatching member 51 is triggered to unlock, the unlatching member 51 drives the first latching member 52 to slide, so that the first latching member 52 is separated from the first protruding block 112. At this time, the first movable plate rotates towards the second direction, and then the first protruding block 112 pushes the first linkage member 61 to slide. The second linkage member 71 is driven by the first linkage member 61 to slide, so that the second latching member 62 is separated from the second protruding block 113, and the third latching member 72 is separated from the third protruding block 114. The second movable plate and the fourth movable plate rotate towards the second direction, respectively.

In this embodiment, the unlatching member 51 is press unlocking, and is slidably connected to the second fixed member 32. The inclined bottom plate 41 is provided with a top push rod extending towards the unlatching member 51. When the trigger 2 is placed on the inclined bottom plate 41 and the trigger 2 is pressed, the inclined bottom plate 41 is driven by the trigger 2 to move, causing the top push rod to press the unlatching member 51.

The unlatching member 51 includes a first connection rod 511, a swing rod 512, a second connection rod 513, and a swing control block 514.

The first latching member 52 includes a first locking plate 521 and a first push plate 522. The first push plate 522 is connected between the second connection rod 513 and the first locking plate 521. A surface of the first push plate 522 in contact with the first locking plate 521 and a surface of the first push plate 522 in contact with the second connection rod 513 are inclined surfaces. When the first connection rod 511 is pressed, the first connection rod 511 slides downwards, is driven to vertically move downwards, and drives the swing rod 512 to move downwards. During the downward movement of the swing rod 512, the swing rod 512 passes through the first step 5142. At this time, the swing rod 512 swings once, and the connection hook 5121 portion moves to the underside of the connection block 5131. Then, the first connection rod 511 moves upwards under an action of a reset spring, and drives the swing rod 512 to move upwards. After moving upwards, the swing rod 512 drives the second connection rod 513 to move upwards, and then the second connection rod 513 drives the first push plate 522 to laterally move towards the first locking plate 521. The first push plate 522 pushes the first locking plate 521 to move longitudinally, causing the locking plate to be separated from the first protruding block 112. When the second connection rod 513 moves upwards, the second connection rod 513 passes through the second step 5143, the swing rod 512 swings once, and the connection hook 5121 is separated from the connection block 5131. Each of the structure of the second latching member 62 and the structure of the third latching member 72 is the same as the structure of the first latching member 52, and details are omitted herein. When the first movable plate moves, the second latching member 62 is driven by the first protruding block 112 to unlock and drives the third latching member 72 to unlock.
