Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of toys, and specifically to a balloon launching toy that is easy to fix and release and convenient for inflation, and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A balloon generally includes a spherical body and an inflation port, and a rubber ring is provided at the inflation port. One way to play with a balloon is: after inflating the balloon, hold the inflation nozzle by hand, and then release it with the inflation nozzle facing downwards, then the balloon will fly out freely (launch) under the action of the reaction force. Children like this way of playing very much. However, there is currently no toy that is specifically used for fixing balloons, facilitating the release of balloons, and at the same time facilitating the inflation of balloons. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a balloon launching toy that is easy to fix and release and convenient for inflation. This toy can fix and release balloons, and is convenient for inflating balloons, effectively solving the problems raised in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A balloon launching toy that is easy to fix and release and convenient for inflation, characterized in that: it includes a launching chamber, a cover is detachably provided at the bottom of the launching chamber, and a one-way air intake structure is provided on the cover;

[0005] A launching tube is provided above the launching chamber. The launching tube has upper and lower openings, and the bottom is connected and communicated with the launching chamber. A fixing structure cooperating with the balloon is provided at the upper opening of the launching tube.

[0006] After adopting the above technical solution, the balloon can be fixed by the fixing structure, and then an inflation tool can be used to inflate the balloon through the one-way air intake structure at the bottom. After inflation is completed, the rubber ring of the balloon can be pushed by hand to make the balloon detach from the fixing structure and launch.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the cover is connected to the launching chamber by a thread. The one-way air intake structure includes a first through hole provided at the center position of the cover, and a one-way valve is fixedly provided in the first through hole.

[0008] After adopting the above technical solution, the balloon is inflated through the first through hole, and the one-way valve can only intake air into the launching chamber unidirectionally, which can prevent the balloon from leaking air after inflation.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the fixing structure includes a plug provided at the upper opening of the launching tube. The upper end of the plug protrudes from the upper opening, and a circumferential annular protrusion for limiting the rubber ring of the balloon is fixedly provided on the side peripheral surface. A vertical second through hole is provided at the center position of the plug.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, with the balloon inflation opening facing downwards and the balloon rubber ring placed below the annular boss, the annular boss can limit the position of the balloon. When releasing, the rubber ring of the balloon can be pushed upwards with a finger, so that the rubber ring slides to the upper side of the annular boss, and then the balloon will be launched under the action of the reaction force.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a storage basket with a lower opening is arranged in the launch bin on the upper side of the cover. Convex blocks matching with the storage basket are arranged on the inner wall of the launch bin, so that a gap is formed between the storage basket and the launch bin.

[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, balloons can be stored in the storage basket. The function of the gap is that, without taking out the storage basket and the balloons, the balloons fixed to the launch tube can be inflated through the bottom cover. The gap is conducive to the upward flow of the air flow at the bottom (avoiding the problem that directly storing balloons in the launch bin is likely to block the lower port of the launch tube).

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a first switch valve is arranged on the launch tube. A plurality of branch launch tubes are arranged on the side of the launch bin. The structure of the branch launch tubes is the same as that of the launch tube. The inner ends are connected and communicated with the launch bin, and second switch valves are respectively arranged on the branch launch tubes.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the balloons are respectively sleeved on the launch tube and the branch launch tubes, and then the balloons are inflated through the cover. After the inflation is completed, the first switch valve and the second switch valves can be closed respectively, and each balloon can be launched separately, or two adjacent balloons can be launched simultaneously.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, a pressing block matching with the lower end face of the storage basket is fixedly arranged on the inner surface of the cover.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, after the cover is covered, the pressing block can squeeze against the lower end face of the storage basket to fix the storage basket and prevent it from shaking in the launch bin.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the launch bin, the launch tube and the cover are made of transparent materials.

[0018] After adopting the above technical solution, the remaining situation of the internal balloons can be viewed from the outside.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the launch tube is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and the outer diameter of the upper opening is larger than the inner diameter of the balloon rubber ring.

[0020] After adopting the above technical solution, the launch tube can tighten the rubber ring of the balloon and further limit the position of the balloon.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, the outer diameter of the annular boss is larger than the outer diameter of the launch tube.

[0022] After adopting the above technical solution, the annular boss can limit the rubber ring and prevent it from slipping off the transmitting tube.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, the transmitting chamber is in the shape of a cylindrical barrel, and its inner diameter is larger than that of the transmitting tube.

[0024] After adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to store the balloons in the transmitting chamber.

[0025] The present invention also discloses a using method of a balloon launching toy that is easy to fix, release and inflate, which is characterized in that its steps include: Placing the balloon: S1. Invert the toy, that is, make the cover face upward, and hold the transmitting chamber with the left hand; S2. Open the cover with the right hand, put the balloon into the storage basket in the transmitting chamber, and cover the cover.

[0026] Taking out and launching the balloon: S1. Invert the toy, that is, make the cover face upward, and hold the transmitting chamber with the left hand; S2. Open the cover with the right hand, take out the balloon from the storage basket, and cover the cover; S3. Make the transmitting tube face upward, and then put the balloon on the upper end of the transmitting tube; S4. Place the toy flat with the cover facing right, and a balloon at the launching port can be inflated through the one-way valve with an inflating tool on the right side; S5. After inflation, make the balloon face upward, hold the transmitting chamber with the right hand, and then push the balloon rubber ring upward with the thumb until the rubber ring slides out of the annular boss to complete the launch.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a balloon launching toy and a using method that are easy to fix, release and inflate, and have the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. Through the settings of the transmitting chamber, one-way valve, transmitting tube and plug, the present invention can fix the balloon through the port of the transmitting tube.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a balloon launch toy that is easy to fix and release and convenient for inflation includes a launch bin 1. A detachable cover 2 is provided at the bottom of the launch bin 1, and a one-way air intake structure is provided on the cover 2. A launch tube 3 is provided above the launch bin 1. The launch tube 3 is open at both the top and bottom, and the bottom is connected to the launch bin 1 in a communicating manner. A fixing structure for cooperating with the balloon 6 is provided at the upper opening of the launch tube 3. The balloon 6 can be fixed through the fixing structure, and then an inflation tool can be used to inflate the balloon 6 through the one-way air intake structure at the bottom. After inflation is completed, the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 can be pushed by hand to make the balloon detach from the fixing structure and launch. The cover 2 is connected to the launch bin 1 by a thread (sealed connection). The one-way air intake structure includes a first through hole 21 provided at the center position of the cover 2, and a check valve 22 is fixedly provided in the first through hole 21. The balloon 6 is inflated through the first through hole 21, and the check valve 22 can only intake air into the launch bin 1 unidirectionally, which can prevent the balloon 6 from leaking air after inflation.

[0041] In the above embodiments, specifically, the fixing structure includes a plug 4 (made of elastic material and sealed with the side surface of the emitting tube 3) provided at the upper opening of the emitting tube 3. The upper end of the plug 4 protrudes from the upper opening, and a circular boss 41 that can limit the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 is fixedly provided on the circumferential surface of the side. A vertical second through hole 42 is provided at the center position of the plug 4. When the inflation port of the balloon 6 is downward and the rubber ring 61 of the balloon is sleeved below the circular boss 41, the circular boss 41 can play a role in limiting the balloon 6. When releasing, the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 can be pushed upward with a finger, so that the rubber ring 61 slides to the upper side of the circular boss 41, and the balloon 6 will be launched under the action of the reaction force.

[0042] In the above embodiments, specifically, a storage basket 5 (net structure) with a lower opening is provided in the emission chamber 1 above the cover 2. Protrusions 11 (arranged annularly at intervals or continuously) that cooperate with the storage basket 5 are provided on the inner wall (circumferential side wall and top side wall) of the emission chamber 1, so that a gap is formed between the storage basket 5 and the emission chamber 1. The storage basket 5 can be used to store the balloon 6. The function of the gap is that the balloon 6 fixed to the emitting tube 3 can be inflated through the cover 2 at the bottom without taking out the storage basket 5 and the balloon 6. The gap is conducive to the upward flow of the air flow at the bottom (to avoid the problem that directly storing the balloon 6 in the emission chamber 1 easily blocks the lower port of the emitting tube 3). A pressing block 23 that cooperates with the lower end surface of the storage basket 5 is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the cover 2. After the cover 2 is covered, the pressing block 23 can squeeze against the lower end surface of the storage basket 5 to play a role in fixing the storage basket 5 and prevent it from shaking in the emission chamber 1.

[0043] In the above embodiments, more specifically, the emission chamber 1, the emitting tube 3 and the cover 2 are made of transparent materials. The remaining situation of the internal balloon 6 can be viewed from the outside. The emitting tube 3 is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and the outer diameter of the upper opening is larger than the inner diameter of the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 (in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 is 1.3 cm, and the outer diameter of the emitting tube 3 is 1.4 cm). The emitting tube 3 can play a role in tightening the rubber ring 61 of the balloon 6 and further play a role in limiting the balloon 6. The outer diameter of the circular boss 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the emitting tube 3 (in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the circular boss 41 is 1.5 cm). The circular boss 41 can play a role in limiting the rubber ring 61 and prevent it from slipping off the emitting tube 3. The emission chamber 3 is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and its inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the emitting tube 3 (in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the emission chamber 3 is 3 cm). It is conducive to storing the balloon 6 in the emission chamber 3.

[0044] Usage method: Placing the balloon 6: S1. Invert the toy, that is, the cover 2 is upward, and hold the emission chamber 1 with the left hand; S2. Open the cover 2 with the right hand, put the uninflated balloon 6 into the storage basket 5 in the emission chamber 1, and cover the cover 2. It can be carried with you and played indoors or outdoors.

[0045] Taking out and launching the balloon 6: S1. Invert the toy, that is, make the cover 2 face upward, and hold the launching chamber 1 with the left hand; S2. Open the cover 2 with the right hand, take out the balloon 6 from the storage basket 5, and cover the cover 2; S3. Flip the toy so that the launching tube 3 faces upward, and then set the balloon 6 on the upper end of the launching tube 3; S4. Place the toy flat, with the cover 2 facing right or towards the chest. The balloon 6 at the launching port can be inflated through the one-way valve 22 with an inflation tool (prior art) on the right side; S5. After inflation, make the balloon 6 face upward, hold the launching chamber 1 with the right hand, and then push the balloon rubber ring 61 upward with the thumb until the rubber ring 61 slides out of the annular boss 41 to complete the launch.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that a first switching valve 31 is provided on the launching tube 3, and several launching tubes 7 are provided on the side of the launching chamber 1. The structure of the branch launching tube 7 is the same as that of the launching tube 3, and the inner end is connected and communicated with the launching chamber 1. Second switching valves 71 are respectively provided on the branch launching tubes 7. Set the balloons 6 on the launching tube 3 and the branch launching tubes 7 respectively, and then inflate the balloons 6 through the cover 2. After inflation, the first switching valve 31 and the second switching valves 71 can be closed respectively. Each balloon 6 can be launched separately, or the adjacent two valves can be opened simultaneously to launch the balloons 6 at the same time.

[0048] Usage method: The difference from Embodiment 1 is that when inflating, the first switching valve 31 and the second switching valves 71 are opened, and multiple balloons 6 can be inflated simultaneously. After inflation, the first switching valve 31 and the second switching valves 71 are closed, and single balloons 6 can be launched one by one. The adjacent two balloons 6 can be launched simultaneously by pushing the rubber ring 61 with both hands.

[0049] It should be noted that when fixing the balloon 6, the plug 4 can also be removed, and the balloon 6 can be directly set on the upper port of the launching tube 3. Since the outer diameter of the launching tube 3 is larger than the inner diameter of the rubber ring 61, the balloon 6 will not slip off (the annular boss 41 of the plug 4 is for more insurance to prevent the balloon 6 from slipping off, and the plug 4 usually has a certain dust-proof function). After inflation, the rubber ring 61 can be pushed upward with the thumb until it slips off from the upper end of the launching tube 3 to complete the launch.
