Description

LED tower toy

The invention relates to the field of toys, in particular to the field of toys using LEDs.

The traditional use of the tower tower stack toy is similar to the way of the ring, the user grasps the ring and covers a cylinder. In this process, users, especially children, can be trained in their hand-eye coordination and grasping ability. When a child performs the actions of grasping, holding, and inserting into a cylinder, it needs the cooperation of both hands and the cooperation of the eyes to complete a series of actions. Therefore, the tower toy has the function of training infants' hand-eye coordination.

However, the current set of tower stack toys is a bit monotonous in color. Although ferrules come in a variety of colors, there are limits to the number of colors. And children tend to get used to similar and repetitive behaviors. In addition, although the ferrule of the existing tower toy can be prepared in various colors, this also means that it is necessary to use multiple pigments or plastics of various colors to expose infants to the risks of various plasticizers or chemicals.

Therefore, the present invention provides a novel tower toy, which can improve the shortcomings of the existing tower toy, increase the user's interest and prolong the use time, and exercise the logical thinking ability through the combination of colors.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel tower toy, which can improve the shortcomings of the existing tower toy, increase the user's interest and prolong the use time.

The present invention provides a tower toy capable of changing the tower color. It uses the combination of the three primary colors to increase or decrease the combination to generate various colors, and improves children's concentration and interest through the change of colors.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a color-changeable tower toy, which includes a cylinder, at least three ferrules, and at least three monochromatic LED light sources. The three LED light sources are disposed on the pillar, and at least part of the pillar is made of transparent or translucent material.

The cylinder is provided with another sensor for sensing the color of the ferrule and transmitting the signal to the LED light source to generate the same color as the ferrule.

With the above structure, in addition to cultivating hand-eye coordination and grasping ability, the present invention can also use the "superimposed" primary color system used in light source projection to superimpose and combine colors to present a variety of different colors, creating more play Methods and increase children's interest in using, and cultivate sensitivity to color.

In order to make those skilled in the art understand the purpose of the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a tower toy 1 according to the present invention, including a cylinder 2; three three-primary color ferrules 3, 31, 32, and 33, respectively; and three three-primary color LEDs. The light sources 4 are 41, 42, and 43 respectively. The cylinder 2 is provided with an inductor 5. The colors of the three ferrules and three LED light sources are three primary colors. In one embodiment, the sensor is a photoresistor sensor.

At least part of the material of the pillar 2 is transparent or translucent. Preferably, the upper half of the pillar 2 is transparent or translucent. In this embodiment, the column 2 is a vertebral column, which has a shape of narrow upper and lower wide. In another embodiment, the pillar may be a cylinder, a square pillar, a triangular pillar, or other various shapes of pillars.

In this embodiment, the colors of the three ferrules 31, 32, and 33 are red, blue, and green of the three primary colors, respectively. The ferrule 3 can be sleeved on the cylinder 2.

The sensing area of the sensor 5 can simultaneously sense the one ferrule 31, two ferrules 31 and 32, and three ferrules 31, 32, and 33. The cylinder can make the three ferrules 31, 32, and 33 stay in the sensing area of the sensor 5 in various ways. The sensor 5 is connected to the LED light source 4 through a circuit chip (not shown).

The method for the sensor 5 to determine the color of the LED light source may be: the sensor 5 is a photoresistor sensor, which senses the color of each ferrule, and then transmits the color signal of the ferrule to the LED light source; Another sensing device is set inside, and the color information of the ferrule is set in the sensing device. The sensor located in the cylinder 5 determines the ferrule that is inserted into the cylinder by detecting the sensing device in each ferrule. The color signal is transmitted to the LED light source; or three sensors are arranged on the cylinder and each detects the color of the ferrule.

In this embodiment, the sensor 5 is a photoresistor sensor. After sensing the color of the ferrule, it transmits a color signal to the circuit chip, thereby controlling whether the LED light source 4 emits light or not.

The tower toy can be provided with one, two, three, or more sensors. The circuit chip can be provided with one, two, three, or more. The number of sensors and circuit chips can be arbitrarily matched, so that the color signal received by the sensor is correctly transmitted to the LED light source, and the corresponding LED light source is started to emit light.

Preferably, the light paths of the LED light sources have intersections with each other, so that the finally emitted light has a mixed color.

In another embodiment, a light mixing area may be provided to allow the LED lights to be emitted after being mixed.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a ferrule. For example, when a green ferrule is fitted, the LED light source emits green light 61.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of two ferrules. For example, when a blue and green ferrule is fitted, the blue and green LED light sources emit light and mix to produce cyan light 62.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of three ferrules. When three color ferrules are put into the cylinder together, the three LED light sources emit light at the same time and mix to produce white light 63.

In another embodiment, the tower toy may include more than three ferrules. By inserting ferrules with different numbers of colors, you can adjust the proportion of each color to emit more colors. For example, two red ferrules, two blue ferrules, and a green ferrule are inserted to adjust the proportion between the three primary colors to produce more different colors.

The tower toy provided by the present invention combines color and light, so that the user (child) can produce various colors at the same time when the ring is nested on the cylinder. According to the nested primary color ferrules, different color changes are emitted to train the user's hand-eye coordination, and learn the principle and logic of color mixing.
