Description

The present invention relates to an improvement in a rotating toy in which a rotating part rotates in accordance with an operation of an operating part.

JP 2004-329480 A

However, the conventional toy does not consider the case where the distance from the center of rotation to a point on the circumferential surface of the rotating part is not constant, such as an elliptical or rectangular rotating part. That is, when the rotation part is an ellipse or a rectangle, or when the rotation center is decentered even if it is a perfect circle, the locus drawn by the rotation of the point on the peripheral surface of the rotation part varies from point to point. Therefore, when the grip part which is the operation part is pulled in a direction away from a position close to a certain point on the peripheral surface, there is a possibility that the rotary part which has started to rotate and the grip part come into contact with each other. Even if the operation unit is closest to the rotation unit, such a risk is that the specific point on the peripheral surface of the rotation unit that is the maximum distance from the rotation center is outside the rotation locus drawn. However, this causes a restriction on the positional relationship between the operation unit and the rotating unit before the rotation (the specific point where the distance from the rotation center is maximum is outside the rotation locus drawn by the point) This is disadvantageous in terms of design.

Therefore, in the present invention, even when the distance between the rotation center and the peripheral surface of the rotation unit is not constant, such as an ellipse or a rectangle, the rotation unit does not interfere with the operation unit and the design An object is to provide an advantageous rotating toy.

The rotating toy according to the present invention has a base portion having a surface, a rotating portion having a peripheral surface and rotatably attached on the surface of the base portion, a side surface, and the side surface is close to the peripheral surface of the rotating portion. And an operating part capable of taking a separating position, and the rotating part has points A and L2 at a distance L1 from the center of rotation on the peripheral surface (where L2> L1). When the operation unit moves from the proximity position to the separation position, the rotation unit moves at a predetermined angle in one direction so that the points A and B move from the initial position to the rotation end position. The point A is opposed to the side surface of the operation unit when the operation unit is in the proximity position, and the point B is opposed to the side surface of the operation unit at the initial position. When moving from the initial position to the rotation end position, The distance from the center of rotation is farthest among the points that can pass through the position facing the side surface of the unit and can be opposed to the side surface of the operation unit while the rotating unit rotates a predetermined angle, When the operation unit is in the proximity position, the distance of the side surface of the operation unit from the rotation center of the rotation unit is smaller than L2, and the drive means is configured such that the operation unit is separated from the proximity position with respect to the rotation unit, When the distance from the rotation center of the rotation unit of the side surface of the operation unit reaches L3 (where L3> L2), rotation of the rotation unit in one direction is started.

Further, in the rotating toy according to the present invention, the driving means moves the operating portion from the separated position to a position at a distance L3 from the rotation center, whereby the point A and the point B have finished rotating. It is preferable to rotate it by a predetermined angle in the other direction so as to move from the position to the initial position.

According to the present invention, even when the distance between the rotation center and the peripheral surface of the rotation unit is not constant, such as an ellipse or a rectangle, the rotation unit does not interfere with the operation unit, and the design is advantageous. A rotating toy can be provided.

<Configuration of Driving Unit 1600>
The driving unit 1600 will be described in more detail. The driving unit 1600 is located at the rear side of the disk-shaped front surface portion 1630 and the front surface portion 1630, and is positioned at the rear side of the central portion 1620 and the disk-shaped central portion 1620 having the same radius as the front surface portion 1630. , And a disc-shaped rear surface portion 1610 having the same radius as the central portion 1620. The front surface portion 1630, the central portion 1620, and the rear surface portion 1610 are overlapped so as to have the same center, and constitute a driving means 1600.

  First, the rear surface portion 1610 will be described. A center hole 1611 is formed at the center of the disc-shaped rear surface portion 1610. Further, long holes 1612 and 1613 are formed in a line along the radial direction so as to sandwich the center hole 1611. The long holes 1612 and 1613 have a predetermined length. In addition, a pair of holes 1614 and 1615 are formed at positions symmetrical with respect to the center hole 1611.

Next, the relationship among the rear surface portion 1610, the right operation portion 1301, and the left operation portion 1302 will be described. The rearward projecting portion of the right shaft portion 1305 of the right operation portion 1301 and the rearward projecting portion of the left shaft portion 1306 of the left operation portion 1302 are rotatable to the long holes 1612 and 1613 of the rear surface portion 1610, respectively. 1613 is supported so as to be movable along the line 1613.

The center part 1620 will be described. A center hole 1621 is formed at the center of the disc-shaped rear surface portion 1610. Further, long holes 1622 and 1623 are provided in a straight line in the radial direction so as to sandwich the center hole 1621. Further, a concave portion 1624 is formed so that a part of the peripheral surface of the central portion 1620 is bored toward the central hole 1621. A recess 1625 having the same shape as the recess 1624 is formed at a position symmetrical to the recess 1624 and the center hole 1621. A latching portion 1626 is formed so as to protrude rearward from the rear surface of the rear surface portion 1610. Further, a through hole 1627 is formed at a position about 120 ° away from the hooking portion 1626 in the circumferential direction. A boss 1628 that protrudes rearward is formed in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the rear surface of the center portion 1620, and a boss 1629 having the same shape as the boss 1628 is formed at a position that is symmetric with respect to the boss 1628 and the center hole 1621. ing. The center hole 1611 of the rear surface portion 1610 is aligned with the center hole 1621 of the central portion 1620, the positions of the long holes 1622 of the central portion 1620 and the long holes 1612 of the rear surface portion 1610 are aligned, and the long holes of the central portion 1620 are aligned. When the positions of the long holes 1613 in the rear surface portion 1610 are matched with the bosses 1628 and 1629, the bosses 1628 and 1629 are formed at positions corresponding to the holes 1615 and 1614 in the rear surface portion 1610, respectively.

Next, the coupling | bonding of the center part 1620 and the rear surface part 1610 is demonstrated. First, the center hole 1611 of the rear surface portion 1610 and the center hole 1621 of the center portion 1620 are matched. At this time, the forward projecting portion of the right shaft portion 1305 of the right operation portion 1301 supported by the elongated hole 1612 of the rear surface portion 1610 is inserted into the elongated hole 1622 of the central portion 1620, is rotatable, and is elongated. It is supported so that it can move along. Then, at this time, the forward projecting portion of the left shaft portion 1306 of the left operation portion 1302 is also inserted into the long hole 1623 of the central portion 1620 and supported so as to be rotatable and movable along the long hole 1623. At this time, since the positions of the hole 1614 in the rear surface portion 1610 and the boss 1629 in the center portion 1620 coincide with each other, a screw is inserted from the rear of the hole 1614 to fix the boss 1629 in the center portion 1620 to the hole 1614. . Similarly, the position of the hole 1614 in the rear surface portion 1610 and the position of the boss 1628 in the center portion 1620 coincide with each other, so that a screw is inserted from the rear of the hole 1615 to fix the boss 1629 in the center portion 1620 to the hole 1615. As described above, since the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 are fixed, the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 are integrated, and rotate together.

Next, the front surface portion 1630 will be described. The disk-shaped front surface portion 1630 has a center hole 1631 formed at the center thereof, and the front surface 1632 is provided with a pair of bosses 1633 and 1634 protruding forward in a cylindrical shape. The bosses 1633 and 1634 are provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the center hole 1631. Further, a convex portion 1635 that protrudes rearward from the rear surface is provided in the vicinity of the periphery of the front surface portion 1630. A convex portion 1636 is formed at a position symmetrical to the center of the front surface portion 1630 of the convex portion 1635. The convex portions 1635 and 1636 are accommodated in the concave portions 1624 and 1625 of the central portion 1620 when the front surface portion 1630 and the central portion 1620 are overlapped. Further, a latching portion 1637 is formed so as to protrude rearward from the rear surface of the front surface portion 1630. Note that the latching portion 1637 has a front surface portion 1630 and a central portion 1620 which are overlapped so that the convex portions 1635 and 1636 are accommodated in the concave portions 1624 and 1625, respectively, and a through hole 1627 provided in the central portion 1620. And is formed at a position where it can protrude rearward from the central portion 1620. The latching portion 1637 can move in the through hole 1627 as the front surface portion 1630 rotates with respect to the central portion 1620.

The front portion 1630 and the center portion 1620 are overlapped, and the shaft 1115 of the front member 1109 is inserted into the center hole 1631 of the front portion 1630 and the center hole 1621 of the center portion 1620, and the center portion 1620 through the through hole 1627. A torsion spring 1638 is provided between the latching portion 1637 of the front surface portion 1630 and the latching portion 1626 of the central portion 1620 that protrudes rearward from the 1620. By the torsion spring 1638, the front surface portion 1630 is urged so as to always rotate in the other direction (counterclockwise direction when the front surface portion 1630 is viewed from the front) with respect to the central portion 1620. Accordingly, the convex portion 1635 of the front surface portion 1630 is biased in a direction toward the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 of the central portion 1620, and the convex portion 1636 of the front surface portion 1630 is biased to the upper end of the concave portion 1625 of the central portion 1620. It is biased in the direction toward the wall 1625a.

With the configuration as described above, the front surface portion 1630 has a range from the position where the convex portion 1635 contacts the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 of the central portion 1620 to the position where it contacts the upper end wall 1624b with respect to the central portion 1620. (This is the same as the range from the position where the convex portion 1636 contacts the upper end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625 of the central portion 1620 to the position where it contacts the lower end wall 1625b). However, if the convex portion 1635 is in contact with the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 and the convex portion 1636 is in contact with the upper end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625, the central portion 1620 is in one direction (the central portion 1620 is viewed from the front. (Clockwise direction) when the convex portion 1635 is pressed by the lower end wall 1624a and the convex portion 1636 is pressed by the upper end wall 1625a, the front portion 1630 also rotates together with the central portion 1620. Conversely, when the central portion 1620 rotates in the other direction (the direction opposite to one direction, the counterclockwise direction when the central portion 1620 is viewed from the front), the lower end wall 1624a is changed from the convex portion 1635 to the upper end wall 1625a. Tries to move away from the convex portion 1636, but the convex portions 1635 and 1636 are biased by the torsion spring 1638, so unless the front surface portion 1630 has a force to block it (specifically, the boss 1633 The boss 1634 reaches the lower end 1111a of the arcuate through hole 1111 and cannot be rotated any more), and the projections 1635 and 1636 are respectively in contact with the lower end wall 1624a and the upper end wall 1625a. Move to follow and follow this. Thus, when the central portion 1620 rotates in the other direction, the front surface portion 1630 also rotates together.

Note that, by overlapping the rear surface portion 1610, the central portion 1620, and the front surface portion 1630, the respective center holes 1611, 1621, and 1631 coincide with each other, and thereby the center hole 1601 of the driving unit 1600 is configured.

<Configuration of Rotating Unit 1200> In the present embodiment, the rotating unit 1200 is formed, for example, as a box that is long in the left-right direction and short in the up-down direction. A circular concave portion 1201 is provided at the center of the rear surface of the rotating portion 1200, an upper locking portion 1202 is provided at the upper peripheral edge of the concave portion 1201, and a lower locking portion 1203 is provided at the lower peripheral edge. . The upper locking portion 1202 and the lower locking portion 1203 are provided at positions facing each other across the center of the recess 1201. The concave portion 1201 is sized to accommodate the rotating portion mounting member 1112 of the base portion 1100, and the upper locking portion 1202 and the lower locking portion 1203 of the concave portion 1201 are accommodated in the concave portion 1201 by the rotating portion mounting member 1112. When this is done, the claw members 1113 and 1114 of the rotating portion mounting member 1112 are locked. As a result, with the rotation of the rotating portion mounting member 1112, the rotating portion 1200 also rotates through the claw members 1113 and 1114, the upper locking portion 1202, and the lower locking portion 1203. Since the rotating portion attaching member 1112 rotates on the front surface of the front member 1109, that is, on the surface of the base portion 1100, the rotating portion 1200 attached thereto rotates on the surface of the base portion 1100. In addition, since the recessed part 1201 in which the rotating part attachment member 1112 is accommodated is provided at the center of the rear surface of the rotating part 1200, the rotation center axis of the rotating part 1200 passes through the center point 1204 of the rotating part 1200, The axis 1205 is substantially perpendicular to the rotating part, and the rotating part 1200 rotates around the axis 1205.

By pressing a button 1206 provided on the upper part of the rotating part 1200, the claw member 1113 is pressed and released from the upper locking part 1201, and the rotating part 1200 can be detached from the rotating part mounting member 1112. It has become. A card slot 1207 is provided on the right side surface of the rotating unit 1200. The rotating unit 1200 can accommodate a card (not shown) inserted through the card slot 1207. Further, the rotating unit 1200 has a built-in barcode reading device, and can read a barcode written on a card inserted from the card slot 1207. The barcode read by the barcode reading device is sent to a control device built in the rotating unit 1200, and the control device performs various controls corresponding to the sent barcode. For example, if a voice data storage unit and a voice output unit are provided in the rotating unit 1200 and a plurality of voice data associated with each bar code is stored, the control device is sent from the bar code reading unit. The voice data corresponding to the barcode can be searched from the voice data storage means, and the voice corresponding to the searched voice data can be output from the voice output means. Furthermore, if an audio output switch is provided on the rear surface of the rotating unit 1200 and a protrusion is provided on the front member 1109 of the base 1100 at a position where the audio output switch can be pressed according to the rotation of the rotating unit 1200, the rotating unit 1200 is provided. The voice output switch is pressed by the protrusion according to the rotation of the voice, and the voice according to the searched voice data can be output from the voice output means. 1000 can be provided.

FIG. 4 is a view of the rotating unit 1200 as seen from the front. A point on the peripheral surface 1208 of the rotating unit 1200 has a constant distance from the axis 1205 that is the center of rotation. For example, if the distance between the point A on the peripheral surface 1208 and the axis 1205 is L1, and the distance between the point B and the axis 1205 is L2, then L2> L1.

<Operation of the rotating toy 1000>
The operation of the rotating toy 1000 including the base 1100, the rotating unit 1200, and the operating unit 1300 configured as described above will be described. First, an operation for setting the rotating toy 1000 to an initial state will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are slightly separated from the rotation unit 1200. At this time, the rotating unit 1200 is in a slightly rotated state (in this embodiment, a state rotated slightly clockwise from the initial state when viewed from the front).

  When the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved in the direction approaching the rotation unit 1200, the right shaft unit 1305 and the left shaft unit 1306 also move, and the long holes 1612 and 1613 of the rear surface unit 1610 of the driving unit 1600 are moved. Since the long holes 1622 and 1623 of the central portion 1620 are pressed, the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 rotate counterclockwise in the front view around the shaft 1115 of the front member 1109. Hereinafter, when the rotating toy 1000 is viewed from the front, the direction of clockwise rotation is referred to as “one direction”, and the counterclockwise direction is referred to as “other direction”. At this time, the front surface portion 1630 also rotates in the other direction together with the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 by the torsion spring 1638. At this time, the convex portions 1635 and 1636 provided on the front surface portion 1610 also move so as to follow the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 of the central portion 1620 and the upper end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625. . As described above, the rotating portion mounting member 1112 attached to the front surface portion 1630 via the bosses 1633 and 1634 and the rotating portion 1200 attached to the rotating portion mounting member 1112 also rotate in the other direction. .

  Note that by adjusting the lengths of the right arm 1303 of the right operation unit 1301 and the left arm 1304 of the left operation unit 1302, the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved toward the rotation unit 1200. Before reaching the closest position to the rotating portion 1200, the boss 1633 of the front surface portion 1630 reaches the upper end 1110a of the arc-shaped through hole 1110 of the front member 1109, and the boss 1634 reaches the lower end 1111a of the arc-shaped through hole 1111a. Has been adjusted to reach. That is, when the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved toward the rotation unit 1200, the boss 1633 of the front surface portion 1630 is moved to the front member 1109 before reaching the closest position to the rotation unit 1200. The upper end 1110a of the arc-shaped through hole 1110 is reached, the boss 1634 reaches the lower end 1111a of the arc-shaped through hole 1111, and the front surface portion 1630 can no longer rotate in the other direction. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the boss 1633 and the boss 1634 reach the upper end 1110a of the arc-shaped through hole 1110 and the lower end 1111a of the arc-shaped through hole 1111, respectively. Therefore, while the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are further moved toward the rotation unit 1200 from here to reach a close position close to the rotation unit 1200, the front surface unit is resisted against the elasticity of the torsion spring 1638. 1630 does not rotate, and only the rear surface portion 1610 and the center portion 1620 rotate in the other direction. At this time, the convex portions 1635 and 1636 provided on the front surface portion 1610 are separated from the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 of the central portion 1620 and the upper end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625, respectively.

  FIG. 7 shows the rotating toy 1000 that is in the initial state by the above operation. Both the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are in the closest position to the rotation unit 1200. At this time, the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 faces the point A on the circumferential surface 1208 of the rotating unit 1200. The distance between the point A and the axis 1205 that is the rotation center axis of the rotation unit 1200 is L1. The position of point A when the rotating toy 1000 is in the initial state is referred to as the initial position of point A. Note that the distance from the shaft 1205 when the right operation unit 1301 is in the close position is substantially equal to L1.

By the way, as described above, the boss 1633 and the boss 1634 of the driving means 1600 are restricted by the arc-shaped through holes 1110 and 1111 of the front member 1109 so that the range in which the boss 1633 and boss 1634 can rotate in the range of 0 ° to 90 ° is The rotation range of the rotating part 1200 attached to the part attaching member 1112 and the rotating part attaching member 1112 is also restricted within the range of 0 ° to 90 °. Among the points that can be opposed to the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 while the rotating unit 1200 rotates in the range of 0 ° to 90 ° at a point on the peripheral surface 1208 of the rotating unit 1200, the axis 1205 that is the center of rotation. Let the point B be the most distant from the point B. When the distance between the point B and the axis 1205 is L2, L2> L1. That is, the locus of the point B due to the rotation of the rotating unit 1200 is an arc having a radius L2. As described above, the distance from the shaft 1205 when the right operation unit 1301 is in the close position is substantially equal to L1, and since L2> L1, the distance from the shaft 1205 of the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 is L2. Will be smaller. In other words, when the right operation unit 1301 is in the close position, the right operation unit 1301 is on the locus of the point B. The position of point B when the rotating toy 1000 is in the initial state is referred to as the initial position of point B. When in this initial position, the point B does not face the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301.

  Now, in the initial state of the rotating toy 1000, the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 of the driving means 1600 are rotated in the other direction with respect to the front surface portion 1630. Thus, the convex portions 1635 and 1636 of the front surface portion 1630 are separated from the lower end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 and the upper end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625 against the elasticity of the torsion spring 1638. Therefore, even if the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 start to be separated from a proximity position close to the rotation unit 1200 and the rear surface portion 1610 and the center portion 1620 of the driving unit 1600 begin to rotate in one direction, the convex portion 1635 , 1636 do not rotate until the lower end wall 1624a of the recess 1624 and the upper end wall 1625a of the recess 1625 contact each other. Therefore, the rotating part attaching means 1112 attached to the front face part 1630 and the rotating part 1200 attached to the rotating part attaching means 1112 also do not rotate.

  When the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved in the direction away from the rotation unit 1200 from the proximity position, the lower end wall 1624a of the recess 1624 and the upper end wall 1625a of the recess 1625 of the center portion 1620 are respectively moved to the front surface. The protrusions 1635 and 1636 of the portion 1630 abut. The state at this time is shown in FIG. At this time, the length of the right arm 1303 and the sizes of the recesses 1624 and 1625 are adjusted so that the distance between the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 and the shaft 1205 is L3> L2.

  When the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are further separated from the rotation unit 1200, the projections 1635 and 1636 of the front surface portion 1630 of the driving unit 1600 are changed to the lower end wall 1624 a and the recess 1625 of the recess 1624 of the center portion 1620. By being pushed by the upper end wall 1625a, the front surface portion 1630 also rotates in one direction together with the central portion 1620 and the rear surface portion 1610. The rotating part attaching means 1112 attached to the front face part 1630 and the rotating part 1200 attached to the rotating part attaching means 1112 also rotate in one direction.

  As the rotating unit 1200 rotates, the point B also rotates in one direction from the initial position and eventually opposes the side surface 1307 of the right operating unit 1301. The distance from the axis 1205 is L3 or more. As described above, since L3> L2, on the peripheral surface 1208 of the rotating unit 1200, the point that can face the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 while the rotating unit 1200 is rotating is the most from the shaft 1205. Even the point B at a distance is not in contact with the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301.

  Further, when the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are separated from the rotating unit 1200 and reach the separated position, the bosses 1633 and 1634 of the driving unit 1600 are respectively connected to the lower end 1110b of the arc-shaped through hole 1110 of the front member 1109, and the circle. Positioned at the upper end 1111b of the arc-shaped through hole 1111, the rotation of the rotating unit 1200 ends. At this time, point A and point B are at the rotation end position. FIG. 9 shows a state where the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are in the separated positions.

  At this time, the card slot 1207 of the rotating unit 1200 faces upward so that the card can be easily inserted. When the card is inserted here, as described above, the barcode on the card is read by the barcode reader and sent to the control device, and the voice data corresponding to the read barcode is retrieved from the voice data storage means. . The voice data is composed of primary voice data and secondary voice data. For the primary voice data, the voice output means outputs the voice based on it immediately after the barcode is read after the card is inserted, The secondary audio data may not be output until the above-described audio output switch is pressed.

  When the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved again in the direction approaching the rotation unit 1200, the rotation unit 1200 rotates in the other direction. In this operation, as described above, the torsion spring 1638 moves the convex portions 1635 and 1636 of the front surface portion 1630 so as to follow the upper end wall 1624a of the concave portion 1624 and the lower end wall 1625a of the concave portion 1625 while following them. Therefore, the front surface portion 1630 also rotates in the other direction together with the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620.

  When the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are moved in the direction approaching the rotation unit 1200 and the distance between the axis 1105 that is the rotation center and the side surface 1307 of the right operation unit 1301 becomes L3, the drive unit 1600 The bosses 1633 and 1634 are positioned at the upper end 1110a of the arc-shaped through hole 1110 and the lower end 1111a of the arc-shaped through hole 1111 of the front member 1109, respectively, and the rotation of the rotating unit 1200 in the other direction is completed (state in FIG. 6). .

If the rotation unit 1200 is provided with an audio output switch, when the rotation of the rotation unit 1200 in the other direction is completed, the rotation is completed if the rotation unit 1200 is pressed by the protrusion provided on the front member 1109. At the same time, the voice output means can output the voice based on the secondary voice data among the voice data corresponding to the bar code written on the stored card, and provides a highly interesting rotating toy 1000. can do.

  Thereafter, while the right operation unit 1301 and the left operation unit 1302 are further moved toward the rotation unit 1200 to reach a close position close to the rotation unit 1200, the front surface portion 1630 does not rotate as described above, and the torsion spring Only the rear surface portion 1610 and the central portion 1620 rotate in the other direction against the elasticity of 1638, and the convex portions 1635 and 1636 provided on the front surface portion 1610 and the upper end wall 1624 a and the concave portion 1625 of the concave portion 1624 of the central portion 1620. Are separated from the lower end wall 1625a. And the right operation part 1301 and the left operation part 1302 reach | attain a proximity | contact position, and the rotation toy 1000 will be in an initial state again.
