Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to the field of spinning tops, and more particularly to a trigger holding cup module, a trigger device and a play set.

LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

Currently, the launching devices for popular tops are designed to accelerate the tops, mainly by manually pulling the rods or using ropes, and then launching the tops. However, since high-speed launchers require a relatively large pulling force to start, such pulling is difficult for children; in addition, one starter cannot provide multiple launch speeds and cannot provide reverse spinning tops.

Known starters for tops include rod starters, disposable energy storage starters, and rail starters. The tops are accelerated directly by the rods, but pulling out high-speed starters is difficult; or the acceleration of tops occurs only due to the force of torsion springs or with the help of starting devices with a recoverable energy storage, but such tops are not fast enough and effective during the competition; or the acceleration of tops occurs by continuously stretching the ropes, but the tops cannot freely fall in the vertical direction, and there is no way to determine the landing points.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail below, and exemplary embodiments are illustrated in the drawings. The same or similar elements and elements having the same or similar functions are denoted in the text of the description with like numbers. The embodiments described herein with reference to the drawings are illustrative and provided for a general understanding of the invention. The embodiments should not be construed as limiting the invention.

Next, referring to FIG. 1-6, a retention cup module 700 of a trigger 1000 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the invention is described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the retention cup module 700 of the trigger 1000 according to embodiments of the invention includes a retention cup body 710, a magnet assembly 720, and a fastener 730.

In particular, the magnet assembly 720 is housed in the holding cup body 710 and is used to magnetically attract the launched object 800. The fastener 730 is movably disposed on the housing 710, while, for example, the fastener 730 is rotatable on the housing 710. The fastener is 730 includes a leg 731 that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the leg 731 of the fastener is in the locked position, it can be secured to the launched object 800. When the leg 731 is in the unlocked position, it can be separated from the launched object 800.

In the normal state, the leg 731 of the fastener is in the locked position, while the leg 731 locks the launched object 800. When the fastener 730 is actuated, the leg 731 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, ensuring the release of the launched object 800. At this time, the launched object 800 is disconnected from the leg 731 of the fastener and falls freely. Thus, by moving the leg 731 between the locked and unlocked positions, the launch object 800 can be locked or disconnected.

The magnet assembly 720 is configured to hold the launched object 800 on the housing 710, i. E. magnet assembly 720 can remain in communication with launched object 800 by magnetic attraction. During rotation, the housing 710 rotates the launched object 800 to accelerate it. For example, launch object 800 is designed as a top. Once detached from the trigger 1000, the top is free to rotate, and the speed of the top will gradually decrease or the top may even stop. At this time, the holding cup 700 is aligned with the spinning top and the magnet assembly 720 is magnetically attracted to the top of the unit 700. At the same time, since the holding cup body 710 is rotatable at a high speed when the trigger driver is actuated 1000, the top can be rotated at high speed.

When the top is held on the holding cup module 700 and the attachment member 730 is clamped to the top of the top, the bond strength between the top and the top module 700 can be further increased, thereby making it difficult for the top to separate from the top module 700 when rotating at high speed by the trigger drive. ... At the same time, if the launcher 1000 is configured to flip, the top may flip along with the flip of the launcher body 200, and, for example, may flip from below from the position of the launcher body 200 in an upward direction. Thus, the top flips from a location above the launcher body 200 to a location below the body 200. During the flipping of the body 200, the top has significant inertia and can be easily thrown away, but the attachment member 730 provides a more secure connection to the top, thereby the object to be launched from the body 200 is prevented from being thrown out of the housing 200 by inertia during the overturn, and the safety and reliability is ensured when a child is playing with the spinning top.

With regard to the retention cup module 700 of the trigger 1000 according to the embodiments of the invention, by including the movable fastener 730 in the housing 710 and allowing the leg 731 of the fastener to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, the top can be secured and detached by the fastener 730. Thus Thus, when the top is magnetically attracted by the module 700, the top is secured by the attachment leg 731. By acting on the fastener 730, the spinning top detaches and free falls, giving players an unexpected experience. The strength of the connection between the top and the module 700 can be further improved and the top can be prevented from separating from the module 700 when rotating at high speed under the action of the starting drive means.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to an embodiment of the invention, the retention cup body 710 comprises an outer cover portion 711 and an inner liner 712. The magnet assembly 720 and fastener 730 are located outside the housing 710, and the inner liner 712 is located within the outer cover portion 711. The outer cover portion 711 provides protection to the inner liner 712. An outer cover portion 711 is located on the outermost side of the retention cup module 700, which on the one hand protects the internal components and, on the other hand, ensures the integrity of the module 700.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to a possible example of the invention, the outer cover 711 and the inner liner 712 are spaced apart, and the fastening element 730 is pivotally positioned between the outer cover part 711 and the inner liner 712. The fastening element 730 comprises a shaft 732 connected to the inner liner 712. The leg 731 of the fastener is at the end of the fastener shaft 732. The leg 731 is designed to retract when the fastener 730 pivots around the shaft 732. For example, between the inner liner 712 and the outer cover portion 711 there are three fasteners 730 that are spaced around the inner liner 712. The legs 731 of the fasteners are located on the forward the ends of the fasteners 730 in a clockwise direction around the inner liner 712. When the fasteners 730 are pivoted about the respective shafts 732 (for example, by rotating the fasteners 730 clockwise around the shafts 732), the legs 731 are pushed into the inner liner 712. When the legs 731 are rotated counterclockwise around the shafts 732, the legs 731 extend beyond the inner liner 712.

In particular, in the normal state, the leg 731 of the fastener is pushed into the inner liner 712 to block the top. By acting on the fastener 730, the leg 731 rotates counterclockwise about the fastener shaft 732, i. the leg 731 pivots outwardly relative to the inner liner 712, thus allowing the top to be detached.

In addition, the retaining cup module 700 also includes a latch resilient member 733 coupled between the holding member 730 and the housing 710. In the normal state, the latch resilient member 733 is compressed. The snap resilient member 733 and the fastener leg 731 are located, respectively, on both sides of the fastener shaft 732. The latch resilient member 733 is used to pivot the leg 731 towards the locked position. In the normal state, due to the resilient restoring force of the latch resilient member 733, the fastener 730 tends to rotate clockwise about the fastener shaft 732. The end of the shaft 732, which has the latch resilient member 733, is pivotable outward and, in turn, the leg 731 of the fastener is pivotable to the locked position. Thus, the leg 731 is configured to be held in the locked position by the latch resilient member 733, thereby further increasing the bond strength between the top and the module 700.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to another possible example of the invention, the latch resilient member 733 is mounted on the fastener 730. The latch resilient member 733 and the fastener leg 731 are located at both ends of the fastener shaft 732. The fastening member 730 has a passage 730a adapted to cooperate with the latch resilient member 733. Thus, the first end of the latch elastic member 733 is connected to the outer wall of the inner liner 712 and the second end thereof is connected in the fastener passage 730a. Thus, the latch resilient member 733 can be secured in the fastener passage 730a, a secure connection between the inner liner 712 and the fastener 730 can be provided, and the leg 731 can normally be held in a locked position to prevent the top from separating from the module 700. when rotating at high speed under the action of the starting drive means.

According to another possible example of the present invention, the fastening element 730 has a latching projection 734. The outer cover portion 711 or the inner liner 712 has a latching passage 710a compatible with the latching lug 734. In particular, when the fastening element 730 is in the locked position, the projection 734 is installed in the passage 710a. The latch and fastener leg 731 are positioned at both ends of the fastener shaft 732 so that the protrusion 734 is positioned in the passage 710a, i. the projection 734 at the first end of the shaft 732 of the fastener snaps into the passage 710a, and thus the leg 731 of the fastener at the second end of the shaft 732 secures the top to prevent it from falling out. Thus, the bond strength between the top and the module 700 can be further improved so that it is not easy to separate the top from the module 700, even when rotating at a high speed under the action of the starting drive means.

In particular, when the module 700 rotates at high speed due to the centrifugal force, the latch stop on the fastener 730 will snap into the latch passage 710a to prevent the pivotal movement of the first end of the locking shaft 732 outwardly, so that by means of the leg 731 of the fastener at the second end of the shaft 732 fastener, the top can be securely secured.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to another possible example of the invention, an opening 712a is formed in the peripheral wall of the inner liner 712. The leg 731 of the fastener is configured to pass into or out of the inner liner 712 through opening 712a when pivoting. The end of the inner liner 712 (the upper end of the inner liner 712, as shown in Fig. 6) has a flange 7121. The end of the shaft 732 of the fastener (for example, the upper end of the shaft 732) is configured to cooperate with the flange 7121 of the inner liner to increase surface area the upper end portion of the inner liner 712 and at the same time can be used to connect to the inner wall of the outer cover portion 711.

Normally, the leg 731 of the fastener extends into the inner liner 712 through the opening 712a of the inner liner. At the same time, the leg 731 is in the locked position and secures the top. Upon impact on the fastener 730, the leg 731 exits the inner liner 712 through the opening 712a. The leg 731 is configured to pivot outwardly relative to the inner insert 712 for detaching the top, so that the top is separated from the module 700 and free to fall.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to another embodiment of the invention, the fastener 730 has a protruding leg 735.

A protruding leg 735 and a fastener leg 731 are formed at one end of the fastener shaft 732. The end of the protruding leg 735 has an inclined protruding surface 7351. When a force is applied to the protruding surface 7351, the leg 731 of the fastener moves in the direction of the unlocked position. In the normal state, the fastener 730 is located on the inner liner 712 and passes into the inner liner 712 through the opening 712a, and the end of the protruding leg 735 of the fastener 730 is located in the center of the inner liner 712. When a downward force is applied to the protruding surface 7351, the protruding leg 735 is pushed pivoting from the opening 712a of the inner liner to the outer part of the inner liner 712, while the leg 731 also exits the inner liner 712 through the opening 712a and moves towards the unlocked position, so that the top is detached. Thus, by acting on the protruding surface 7351 of the protruding leg 735 with the leg 731 of the fastener, the top can be detached.

Advantageously, the center of gravity of the fastener 730 is offset from the fastener shaft 732 and is on the side where the projection 734 is formed. 734 pivots away from the inner liner 712 by centrifugal force, thereby allowing the leg 731 to be more firmly attached to the top. In addition, the faster the inner liner 712 rotates, the tighter the anchor leg 731 is attached to the top, which can increase the bond strength between the top and the module 700, whereby it will not be easy to separate the top from the module 700 when rotating at high speed.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to another possible example of the invention, the outer cover portion 711 comprises two detachable halves 7111. These halves 7111 cover the outside of the inner liner 712. Due to the fact that the outer cover portion 711 is designed as a structure containing two halves 7111, disassembly of such a structure is easy. to make it easy to service and replace the 700 module in the future. Thus, if maintenance and replacement are required, the two halves 7111 can be directly disconnected. After completion of the work, the two halves of the 7111 can be connected to each other and closed.

As shown in FIG. 5, according to another embodiment of the invention, the retention cup body 710 has a mating hole 710b for receiving a top therein. A magnet assembly 720 is disposed within a housing 710. A magnet assembly 720, shown in FIG. 6 is housed within the inner liner 712. The magnet assembly 720 comprises a magnetically attractive element 721 and a magnetically insulated collar 722. The collar 722 extends around the element 721. The collar 722 is open on the side facing the mating opening 710b.

In addition, the element 721 contains the first and second elements having the property of magnetic attraction. The specified first element having the property of magnetic attraction is located above the specified second element having the property of magnetic attraction. Said first magnetically attractive element and collar 722 are configured to interact to create a magnetic isolation effect to prevent magnetization of the support located above the retaining cup module 700. Said second magnetically attractive element is configured to magnetically attract the top.

In particular, when the rotation speed of the top decreases or stops, the module 700 of the trigger 1000 is brought closer to the top, and the top can be magnetically attracted to the module 700 and connected to it by means of said second element having the property of magnetic attraction. Thus, during the game, there is no need to perform any manual actions when it is necessary to install the top on the module 700, it is only necessary to bring the module 700 of the trigger 1000 closer and align it with the top, which greatly enhances the enjoyment of the game.

As shown in FIG. 6, according to another embodiment of the invention, the retaining cup body 710 is cylindrical with two open ends. Both the magnet assembly 720 and the fastener 730 are located within the housing 710. Along the circumferential wall of the housing 710, several spaced apart fasteners 730 are located. elements 730 face each other (for example, all legs are directed towards the center of the inner liner 712). In this position, the three fastener legs 731 secure the top, which can further increase the bond strength between the top and the module 700, while preventing the top from easily separating from the module 700 when rotating at high speed by the trigger drive means. When a downward force is applied simultaneously to three protruding surfaces 7351, said three protruding legs 735 are simultaneously pivoted outward relative to the inner liner 712, as well as said three legs 731 of the fasteners outwardly relative to the inner liner 712, as a result of which the top is disconnected and started. ...

In the description of the invention, the plural means two or more elements.

When the module 700 is rotated at high speed, the fastener 730 rotates under the action of centrifugal force and a pressure spring to cause the latch to exit from the mating hole 710b of the outer cover portion 711 so that the leg 731 of the fastener at the other end of the fastener 730 secures the top. Magnet assembly 720 can be used to magnetically attract the top. The retention of the top on the holding cup 710 is provided by magnetic attraction. Magnetic attraction and fastening by means of fastening element 730 provide a strong connection between the top and the module 700, which prevents the top from ejecting when the trigger head is turned over.

As shown in FIG. 1-4 and 7-9, a trigger 1000 according to embodiments of the second aspect of the invention comprises a housing 200 and a retention cup module 700 as described in the above disclosed embodiments, the module 700 being disposed on the trigger housing 200.

With regard to the launcher 1000 according to the embodiments of the invention, due to the presence of the movable fastener 730 in the housing 710, as well as allowing the leg 731 of the fastener to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, it is possible to attach and detach the top using the fastening member 730. Thus when the top is magnetically attracted by the module 700, the top is secured by the attachment leg 731. By acting on the fastener 730, the top is detached and free to fall. In addition, since the module 700 is configured to magnetically attract the spinning top, players can experience unexpected experiences. The strength of the connection between the top and the module 700 can be further improved, while the top can be prevented from separating from the module 700 when rotating at high speed under the action of the starting drive means.

It should be noted that the end portion of the trigger 1000 is connected to the hand grip portion 100. During play, the child holds the hand grip portion 100. In addition, the hand grip portion 100 has a software side for a thumb grip and a side 120 for a four-finger grip, which makes the action of the players more comfortable.

In particular, the trigger housing 200 includes a drive assembly. The drive assembly is configured to interact with the retaining cup module 700 and cause the module 700 to rotate at startup and to be detachable from the module 700 when disconnected. After the user activates the drive assembly to operate the module 700 to rotate the said module 700 and the top, the top can be detached (i.e., the top is detached from the trigger 1000) under certain conditions. Based on the above description, the user can select the landing position of the spinning top according to preference, which increases the player's enjoyment of using the trigger 1000.

Since the drive unit is configured to interact with the retaining cup module 700 and to rotate the unit 700 at startup, and also detach from the unit 700 when detached, the unit 700 will only rotate when the user starts the drive unit. If the drive unit is not actuated and the player rotates the holding cup module 700 by hand, only rotation of the unit 700 will be allowed without moving the drive unit. Thus, it is possible to prevent wear or damage to the drive unit and the top from getting stuck when an external force acts on and rotates the module 700, and damage to the drive unit can be reduced and the reliability of the entire trigger 1000 can be increased.

It should be noted that the top is mounted on the holding cup module 700, with the drive assembly directly driving the module 700. Thus, if the module 700 is compatible with different tops, a plurality of different tops can be launched with the trigger 1000. Compared to prior art tope launchers, the launcher 1000 according to embodiments of the invention is compatible with a variety of tops, which expands the scope of said launcher 1000.

In some possible embodiments, the drive assembly includes a unidirectional transmission 510. The unidirectional transmission 510 includes a drive gear 511, a driven gear 512, and a cycloidal gear 513. The drive gear 511 is spaced from the driven gear 512 and is mounted on the trigger housing 200. The driven gear 512 is connected to the module 700. The driven gear 511 is in constant meshing with the cycloidal gear 513. The rotating shaft 5131 of the cycloidal gear 513 is movable along a predetermined path. The cycloidal gear 513 meshes with the driven gear 512 and causes it to rotate when at one end of the set path; wherein the cycloidal gear 513 can be disengaged with the driven gear 512 while at the other end of the set path.

It should be noted that for convenience of description, the direction of rotation in which the driving gear 511 rotates to move the rotating shaft 5131 of the cycloidal gear 513 towards the driven gear 512 is considered a forward direction, and the direction of rotation in which the driving gear 511 rotates with by causing the rotating shaft 5131 of the cycloidal gear 513 to move away from the driven gear 512 is considered to be the reverse direction.

It should be understood that the action of the unidirectional transmission 510 is that when the driving gear 511 rotates forward, it causes the cycloidal gear 513 to rotate in a direction approaching the driven gear 512 and thus engages driven gear 512 so that driven gear 512 rotates by driving gear 511. In other words, when driving gear 511 rotates forward, the holding cup 700 rotates relative to the trigger housing 200. When the gear 511 is rotated in the opposite direction, the gear 511 drives the cycloidal gear 513 to rotate away from the driven gear 512 so that the cycloidal gear 513 and the driven gear 512 are separated and the driven gear 512 can no longer be driven by the drive gear 511. Thus, when the drive gear 511 is rotated in the reverse direction, the holding cup module 700 is prevented from rotating in the reverse direction. This action of the unidirectional transmission 510 allows the player to accelerate the module 700 multiple times. For example, in some embodiments, the drive gear 511 is driven by a rack; Based on the above analysis, the player can pull the rod several times to continuously accelerate the trigger head without interfering with the rotation of the module 700. As a result, the player can apply standard pulling force to provide a higher initial spinning speed of the top on the module 700 and , thus, increase the chance of winning with such a spinning top.

It should be added that the correct selection of the number of teeth of the driving gear 511, the driven gear 512 and the cycloidal gear 513 can improve the acceleration provided by the starter 1000 to a certain extent, increase the rotation speed of the module 700 and thus increase the initial rotation speed of the top. launched from module 700.

In some possible embodiments, the drive assembly comprises a rope winding portion 520 and a rope 530. A rope winding portion 520 is connected to a retention cup module 700. Rope 530 is wound around a rope winding portion 520 and has an inner end connected to this portion 520. Thus, Thus, pulling rope 530 rotates the portion 520, thereby causing the module 700 to rotate.

More specifically, the rope winding portion 520 is connected to the drive gear 511 so that when the player pulls on the rope 530, the drive gear 511 can be rotated, and in turn, the driven gear 512 is rotated to drive to rotate the module 700. Pulling the rope 530 to rotate the module 700 reduces the driving force that the player must apply, so that it will be much easier for the player to rotate the module 700 and thus spin the top mounted in the module 700 Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the trigger 1000 may use other means to rotate the drive gear 511, and, for example, the player may use a rack to drive the drive gear 511.

In some possible embodiments, the trigger 1000 also includes an energy storage device 540 that is coupled to the drive gear 511 and the trigger housing 200. Energy storage 540 is configured to store energy when force is transmitted through the meshing of driven gear 512 and cycloidal gear 513. When energy is supplied from energy storage 540, driven gear 512 disengages from cycloidal gear 513.

It should be understood that, based on the above description, since the launcher 1000 according to the embodiments of the present invention comprises a unidirectional transmission 510, the unidirectional transmission 510 may allow the player to repeatedly accelerate the spinning top mounted on the holding cup module 700. When the launcher 1000 comprises a portion 520 for winding the rope and rope 530, wherein the energy store 540 is connected to the winding part 520, if the player pulls the rope 530 to rotate the driving gear 511 forward, the driving gear 511 rotates the cycloidal gear 513 in the direction, approaching the driven gear 512 and thus meshes with the driven gear 512 so that the driven gear 512 can be rotated by the driving gear 511 and the energy storage 540 can be energy storage is ensured. If the rope 530 is pulled a certain distance or to the end, the energy is released from the energy store 540, while the rope 530 is wound back on the part 520 for winding the rope, causing the drive gear 511 to rotate in the opposite direction; by means of the driving gear 511, the cycloidal gear 513 is rotated away from the driven gear 512, so that the cycloidal gear 513 and the driven gear 512 are disconnected, and the driven gear 512 is prevented from being rotated by the driving gear 511. Thus, when the automatic rewinding of the rope 530 occurs, the holding cup 700 will not slow down. As a result, the user can re-pull the rope 530 to repeatedly accelerate the module 700, so that the initial spinning speed of the top emanating from the module 700 can be increased, which increases the chance of winning with such a top.

A game kit in accordance with embodiments of the third aspect of the invention comprises a launcher 1000 and a top. The launcher 1000 is the launcher 1000 described in the above embodiments. The spinning top has a magnetic tip adapted to be attracted to the holding cup module 700. Thus, by the module 700, the spinning top can be attracted to provide holding, thereby providing more options for starting the top.
