Referring to
a housing 10 and several turntables 5, wherein the housing 10 is provided with an accommodating chamber 23, an opening 12, and a sliding chute 11; some of the turntables 5 are accommodated in the accommodating chamber 23; an accommodating space is further provided in the housing 10.
a toggle assembly 3, wherein the toggle assembly 3 is located in the accommodating space; the toggle assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 and is rotated between an initial position and an end position; a driving end of the toggle assembly 3 is at least partially threaded out of the sliding chute 11;
a transmission assembly 4, wherein the transmission assembly 4 is located in the accommodating space, and the transmission assembly 4 corresponds to the opening 12; one of the turntables 5 is inserted along the opening 12 and connected to the transmission assembly 4; and when the toggle assembly 3 is rotated, a driven end of the toggle assembly 3 drives the transmission assembly to rotate 4; and
an elastic member 6, wherein the elastic member 6 is connected to the housing 10 and the toggle assembly 3; and the elastic member 6 enables the toggle assembly 3 to have a motion tendency to move from the end position to the initial position.
By the arrangement of the above structure, when the turntable 5 of the turntable toy needs to be replaced, a turntable 5 for replacement is taken out of the accommodating chamber 23, without a need for carrying the turntable 5 separately. This can facilitate a user to carry the turntable and reduce the risk of turntable loss.
Preferably, the toggle assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 and moves between the initial position and the end position, so that the toggle assembly 3 can push the turntable 5 within a limited range. Preferably, the driving end of the toggle assembly 3 is partially threaded out of the sliding chute 11, so that when the user pushes the driving end of the toggle assembly 3, the driven end of the toggle assembly 3 pushes the transmission assembly 4. As rotation range of the toggle assembly 3 is limited by a slot structure of the sliding chute 11, which can indirectly limit a rotation angle of the toggle assembly 3, is conductive to maintaining the stability of rotation of the toggle assembly 3, and enhances the user experience. Preferably, by the arrangement of the opening 12, it is convenient to mount and remove the turntable 5. Preferably, the elastic member 6 is connected to the housing 10 and the toggle assembly 3, so that the toggle assembly 3 has the motion tendency to move from the end position to the initial position. A position where the toggle assembly 3 is not affected by an external force is the initial position, and a position where the toggle assembly 3 reaches a limit of rotation under an external force is the end position. When the toggle assembly 3 is affected by the external force and moves from the initial position to the end position, the elastic member 6 has an elastic deformation. When the external force disappears, the elastic member 6 quickly rebounds, so that the toggle assembly 3 moves from the end position to the initial position, to drive the turntable 5 to rotate.
In this embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a chamber cover 25. The chamber cover 25 is configured to close the opening of the accommodating chamber 23.
By the arrangement of the above structures, when the turntable 5 for replacement is placed in the accommodating chamber 23, the opening 12 of the accommodating chamber 23 is closed by the chamber cover 25, thereby avoiding the risk of falling off of the turntable 5.

By the arrangement of the above structure, the turntable 5 and the transmission assembly 4 can be detachably connected through magnetic attraction of the first magnetic attraction member 52 and the second magnetic attraction member 412b, which simplifies the step of replacing the turntable by a user and provides a better user experience. Of course, the first magnetic attraction member 52 can be detachably arranged in the first fixing cavity 51, and the second magnetic attraction member 412b can be detachably arranged in the second fixing cavity 51.
In this embodiment, the turntable 5 is provided with a first clamping slot 53; the first clamping slot 53 is coaxial with the first fixing cavity 51; the rotating disk 412 is provided with a first clamping portion 412c; the first clamping portion 412c is coaxial with the second fixing cavity 412a; and the first clamping portion 412c is inserted into the first clamping slot 53.
By the arrangement of the above structure, based on the magnetic connection between the turntable 5 and the transmission assembly 4 through the first magnetic attraction member 52 and the second magnetic attraction member 412b, the connection effect is further enhanced by inserting the first clamping portion 412c into the first clamping slot 53, making the connection between the turntable 5 and the transmission assembly 4 more stable, without affecting a removal effect on the turntable. Furthermore, the coaxial arrangement ensures that the first clamping portion 412c is accurately inserted into the first clamping slot 53. Since they are on the same axial line, their position relationship is relatively fixed, thereby reducing the problem of difficult connection or unstable connection caused by a position deviation. In addition, when the turntable 5 and the rotating disk 412 are connected and rotated, the coaxial arrangement can ensure that force at the joint is uniform, so that relative misalignment will not occur. Of course, the first clamping slot 53 can also be provided in the rotating disk 412, and the clamping portion can also be arranged on the turntable 5.
In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a first limiting portion 13. The first limiting portion 13 resists against the second positioning portion 33.
By the arrangement of the above structure, the first limiting portion 13 resists against the second positioning portion 33, which can make the toggle assembly 3 more stable and limit movement of the toggle assembly 3 in a vertical direction. Preferably, the first limiting portion 13 is a snowflake-shaped structure. In some other embodiments, lengthening the second positioning portion 33 can also make the toggle assembly 3 more stable and limit movement of the toggle assembly 3 in the vertical direction.
In this embodiment, a first notch 121 is provided in an edge of the housing 10, and the first notch 121 is communicated to the opening 12.

By the arrangement of the above structure, the design based on the structure of the lever 32 limits a horizontal rotation angle of the toggle assembly 3. Without adding additional structures, the stability of rotation of the toggle assembly 3 is effectively improved, thereby ensuring a good user experience of the entire turntable toy. In addition, the limiting plate 321 can also reduce the risk of debris entering the housing 10 from the sliding chute 11.
In this embodiment, a second notch 323 is provided in a joint of the rod body 322 and the limiting plate 321, and the first end 61 passes through the second notch 323 to resist against the boss 31.
By the arrangement of the above structure, during the movement of the toggle assembly 3 from the initial position to the end position, the first end 61 can always be clamped in the second notch 323, which improves the stability of connection and reduces the risk that the elastic member 6 is separated from the toggle assembly 3 during operation. In some other embodiments, the toggle assembly 3 is provided with a jack, and the first end 61 is plugged into the jack for being connected to the toggle assembly 3. This method can further improve the stability of connection.
In this embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a transparent turntable cover 14. The transparent turntable cover 14 is connected to the housing 10. When the transparent turntable cover 14 is in a closed state, the transparent turntable cover 14 covers the opening 12.
By the arrangement of the above structure, the safety is improved without affecting a user from viewing the turntable 5, and the risk of damage to the turntable due to an external factor and the risk that dust falls into the housing 10 from the opening 12.
As described above, one or more embodiments are provided in conjunction with the detailed description, The specific implementation of the present invention is not confirmed to be limited to that the description is similar to or similar to the method, the structure and the like of the present invention, or a plurality of technical deductions or substitutions are made on the premise of the conception of the present invention to be regarded as the protection of the present invention.
