CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024220691641, filed on Aug. 26, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] This disclosure provides a reusable toy water balloon, belonging to the technical field of toys.BACKGROUND

[0003] During hot summer seasons around the globe, various water-based toys gain significant popularity for their cooling effects, such as water guns and water balloons. Currently, the most common water balloons are made by filling latex balloons with water, which are disposable products, and they cannot be used once impacted and cracked, causing the problems of garbage and environmental protection. Meanwhile, a traditional latex water balloon relies on water pressure from a faucet to fill a water cavity with water, and the playing environment is relatively restricted. Alternatively, it is necessary to carry pre-filled latex water balloons to venues such as lawns or swimming pools, which is relatively time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] In recent years, domestic manufacturers have developed reusable silicone water balloons. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the water balloon is formed by mutually splicing two silicone hemispheres, a rubber-coated middle frame magnet is arranged at the splicing position, so that repeated utilization can be achieved, waste is reduced, and the problems of garbage and environmental protection are solved. Meanwhile, the water balloon does not rely on water pressure from a faucet for filling, which increases the applicable scenarios. To ensure the sealing performance when the two silicone hemispheres are connected, a total of 16 magnets are used in this silicone water balloon, and the cost of the magnet accounts for a relatively high proportion of the total material cost. However, even with so many magnets, the water balloon still tends to deform during throwing and flight, causing water to leak out. Additionally, during manufacturing, at least two sets of molds are required to produce the water balloon: the first set of molds is used for forming the rubber-coated middle frame magnet module, and the second set of molds is an overall forming mold. Meanwhile, a magnetized magnet cannot be used, after the overall molding process is completed, the magnet needs to be magnetized. The magnetizing equipment generates high temperatures, requiring the use of cooling equipment for temperature reduction, which greatly prolongs the production cycle. In view of the above problems, a novel reusable toy water balloon needs to be provided.SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this disclosure is that the existing spliced reusable toy water balloon is prone to deformation during flight, leading to water leakage. Additionally, the material and equipment costs during production of the water balloon are relatively high, and the production cycle is relatively long.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this disclosure provides the following technical solution: a reusable toy water balloon, including a lower hemisphere and an upper hemisphere, where the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere are snap-fitted with each other, and the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere are connected to each other through a connecting body; hollow columns corresponding to each other are fixedly arranged in the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere, and magnets attracted to each other are fixedly arranged on the hollow columns; and the hollow columns in the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere are fixedly connected through reinforcing ribs.

[0007] As an improvement, three magnets are arranged in the lower hemisphere, and three magnets are also arranged in the upper hemisphere.

[0008] As an improvement, a transformation modeling block is arranged in the upper hemisphere, and a fruit calyx located outside the upper hemisphere is fixedly connected to the transformation modeling block.

[0009] As an improvement, the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere are both made of silicone, and the magnets are magnetized magnets.

[0010] As an improvement, a sealing groove is formed in the upper hemisphere, and a sealing block inserted into the sealing groove is arranged on the lower hemisphere.

[0011] This disclosure has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The hollow columns corresponding to each other are arranged in the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere, and the magnets attracted to each other are arranged on the hollow columns; the hollow columns in the lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere are connected through the reinforcing ribs; and the hollow columns and the reinforcing ribs are arranged, so that the deformation of the water balloon can be reduced during flight, and the possibility of water leakage from the water balloon is reduced. Meanwhile, according to the design of the structure, the use of the magnet can be reduced, and the material cost is reduced.

[0013] 2. The lower hemisphere and the upper hemisphere provided by this disclosure are shared parts, and only one set of molds is required. Moreover, pre-magnetized magnets can be directly used, eliminating the need for post-molding magnetization processes required by existing silicone magnetic water balloon on the market due to the molding process limitations. Excessive use of equipment is not required, and the production cycle can be shortened.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] This disclosure will be further explained below in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, this disclosure provides a reusable toy water balloon, including a lower hemisphere 1 and an upper hemisphere 2, the lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2 are snap-fitted with each other, and the lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2 are connected to each other through a connecting body 4; hollow columns 5 corresponding to each other are fixedly arranged in the lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2, and magnets 8 attracted to each other are fixedly arranged on the hollow columns 5; and the hollow columns 5 in the lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2 are fixedly connected through reinforcing ribs 6.

[0023] The reinforcing ribs 6 and the hollow columns 5 are arranged, so that the stability of the water balloon during flight can be greatly improved, and water leakage is reduced. Meanwhile, the production of the water balloon only needs to use one group of molds, so that the use of magnet 8 and equipment is reduced, and the process cycle is shortened.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 3, three magnets 8 are arranged in the lower hemisphere 1, and three magnets 8 are also arranged in the upper hemisphere 2.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, a transformation modeling block 7 is arranged in the upper hemisphere 2, and a fruit calyx 3 located outside the upper hemisphere 2 is fixedly connected to the transformation modeling block 7. The aesthetic degree of the water balloon can be improved by arranging the fruit calyx 3, and meanwhile, if it is desired to change the shape, it only needs to increase the small mold of the shape of the fruit calyx 3, thereby saving the mold costs. For example, FIG. 6 is another two kinds of shapes transformed by the water balloon.

[0026] The lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2 are both made of silicone, and the magnets 8 are magnetized magnets.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, a sealing groove 9 is formed in the upper hemisphere 2, and a sealing block 10 inserted into the sealing groove 9 is arranged on the lower hemisphere 1. The two hemispheres are connected through the sealing groove 9 and the sealing block 10, so that the sealing performance can be improved.The Principles of This Disclosure

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1, it is a reusable water balloon on the existing market, no reinforcing structure exists in the two spheres, and excessive water leakage is easily caused by deformation in the process of throwing the water balloon out to fly. Meanwhile, when the water balloon is manufactured, two sets of molds are required: one set of molds is coated with the magnet 8, and the other set of molds is used for overall molding.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, the hollow columns 5 and the reinforcing ribs 6 are arranged in the lower hemisphere 1 and the upper hemisphere 2, the hollow columns 5 in the two spheres are connected through the magnets 8, so that the stability of the water balloon during flight can be greatly improved, the deformation of the sphere is reduced, and therefore, water leakage is reduced. Meanwhile, after the hollow columns 5 and the reinforcing ribs 6 are arranged, the use of the magnets 8 can be reduced, thereby saving costs. The upper and lower hemispheres are almost identical, only one mold needs to be used during production. Meanwhile, the pre-magnetized magnet 8 can be directly used, so that the use of equipment is reduced, and the process cycle is shortened.

[0030] This disclosure and its embodiments have been described above, but the description is not limiting, what is shown in the drawings is only one embodiment of this disclosure, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person of ordinary skill in the art is inspired thereby to devise structure modes and embodiments similar to the technical solution of this disclosure without departing from the spirit of the present creation and without making creative efforts, such structure modes and embodiments shall all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
