Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to recreational facilities, and more particularly to a recreational facility for the protection of the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most play mats and crawling mats are made by piecing together ordinary inflatable or non-inflatable mats and laying them on the ground. They typically only have a polygonal structure. However, when younger children lie on these mats to sleep or play, their unstable bodies and the unique structure of the air mats make them prone to falling off the edges, posing a certain danger. Currently, play mats with guardrails are all non-inflatable children's beds. These offer limited play space, and children are more likely to fall and get injured. They are also not easy to store and take out for use.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN201210157850.3 discloses a toy with a frame connected to the bottom, forming a pool for holding toys; a mat is placed on top of the pool, and the mat is connected to the frame by a zipper; a fence is connected to the top of the frame. Although this patent can achieve the functional diversification of large toys such as sandboxes, sand beds, and ball pits while minimizing the area, its fence connection is unstable, the fence has limited use, the toy operation is cumbersome, the user experience is poor, and it cannot generate more variety or functions at a lower cost to continuously maintain the interest of the players, resulting in insufficient overall fun.

[0004] Chinese patent document 201720737945.0 discloses a multifunctional inflatable baby crib and its mattress, including a fence structure and a mattress laid flat at the bottom of the fence structure; the fence structure is formed by inflatable guardrails and has an opening on one side, with an inflatable baffle connecting the two sides of the inflatable guardrails at the opening, the top surface of which is lower than the upper edge of the inflatable guardrails; the side opposite to the opening is the head side of the fence structure; an inflation valve is provided on the inflatable guardrails; the bottom of the mattress has a groove structure that fits into the inflatable baffle, and the mattress is secured to the inflatable baffle through the groove structure; the groove structure divides the mattress into a head and a tail, the head is located inside the fence structure and fits into the fence structure, and the tail extends out of the fence structure; the mattress can be folded along the groove structure, so that the tail stands upright against the inner wall of the head side of the fence structure as a chair back or is stacked horizontally on top of the head as a seat cushion. Although this crib is convenient to store and carry, and functions as a bed, seat and safety railing, it lacks flexibility and can only be used as a chair back or cushion, with limited functionality; it does not increase the usable area when used as a chair back or cushion.

[0005] The above background information is provided only to aid in understanding the concept and technical solution of this invention. It does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above information was disclosed on the filing date of this patent application, the above background information should not be used to evaluate the novelty and inventiveness of this application. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the aforementioned background technology and provide a recreational facility.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A recreational facility includes a base, a first guardrail, and a support. The base, first guardrail, and support are inflatable and deformable cavities. The base can accommodate a player. The first guardrail is connected to the base via the support. When the support is inflated, it supports the first guardrail, causing it to flip vertically and act as a barrier to prevent the player from falling out of the base. When the support is deflated, the first guardrail flips and collapses inward or outward, expanding its area or stacking on top of the base to increase the play area or allow the first guardrail to be placed on top of the base. After the support is inflated, it supports the first guardrail section, which flips and stands upright. The space from the bottom of the first guardrail section to the ground is completely filled by the inflated support, thus forming a stable support to protect the player and prevent them from falling out of the base. After the support is deflated, the bottom of the first guardrail section is not supported by the support and will flip and fall inward or outward. Falling outward can expand the area of ​​the base, while falling inward allows the first guardrail section to be stacked on top of the base and used as a stool or for other purposes.

[0009] Furthermore, the second guardrail is also an inflatable and deformable cavity. The second guardrail is fixedly connected to the base pad through the support part, so that the second guardrail can be fixedly and vertically erected on the base pad to protect the player and prevent the player from falling from the base pad to the outside.

[0010] Furthermore, the first guardrail section and / or the second guardrail section are provided with an entrance / exit for the player to enter and exit the base mat section. The entrance / exit section is provided with a barrier section. One end of the barrier section is movably connected to any one of the first guardrail section, the second guardrail section and the base mat section, so that it can be rotated around any one of the first guardrail section, the second guardrail section and the base mat section to close or open the entrance / exit section.

[0011] Furthermore, the free end of the barrier is provided with a barrier locking mechanism, which can lock after the barrier is closed to prevent players from falling from the entrance to the outside of the base mat.

[0012] Furthermore, the first guardrail section is provided with a viewing window, which facilitates observation of the player's situation while playing on the base mat.

[0013] Furthermore, the first guardrail section and / or the second guardrail section are provided with a guardrail locking mechanism. When the first guardrail section is flipped and erected vertically, the adjacent first guardrail sections and / or the second guardrail sections can be fastened and locked by the guardrail locking mechanism, and lean against each other to form a stable protective space with the base pad. The leaning against each other includes line contact and surface contact. When the guardrail locking mechanism is released, the first guardrail section can be flipped and folded to the outside or inside of the base pad, increasing the area of ​​the base pad or facilitating interaction and communication with the player.

[0014] Furthermore, the support portion is provided with a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface. The first connecting surface is connected to the bottom pad portion to provide support for the support portion and make it more stable. The second connecting surface is connected to the first guardrail portion to provide support for the first guardrail portion. The first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are perpendicular to each other, so that the first guardrail portion can be perpendicular to the bottom pad portion when it is vertical.

[0015] Furthermore, there are multiple first guardrail sections and multiple support sections, with one of the first guardrail sections connected to only one support section.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes an air tube, one end of which is connected to an air source, and the other end is connected to the base pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support, respectively, so that the base pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support can be independently inflated or deflated; by independently inflating or deflating the support, the first guardrail can be automatically erected or collapsed.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a rigid part, which is connected to the cavity wall of one or more of the base pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support. The rigid part is provided with a through hole, and the cavity wall at the corresponding position of the through hole is provided with an opening. The through hole communicates with the opening, and the air pipe is airtightly connected to the through hole so that the air pipe can easily achieve airtight communication and air delivery with one or more of the base pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support.

[0018] Furthermore, a protruding structure is provided around at least one end of the through hole for connecting the end of the air tube to the protruding structure, thereby making it easy and convenient to connect the air tube to the through hole in an airtight manner for air delivery.

[0019] Furthermore, the air tube passes through the through hole in an airtight manner, thereby connecting the air tube and the through hole in an airtight manner for air delivery.

[0020] Furthermore, the rigid part is disposed at the support of any two of the bottom pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support, sandwiched between the cavity walls connecting the two. Except for the end connected to the air source, the rest of the air tube is located inside one or more of the bottom pad, the first guardrail, the second guardrail, and the support, so that the air tube is not exposed.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting seat, which is disposed on at least one of the base pad, the first guardrail portion, and the second guardrail portion. The connecting seat is provided with an expansion connection port, which communicates with the air pipe and allows airflow to pass through, so that the connecting seats on other facilities can be correspondingly guided to each other when they are extended to connect to other facilities.

[0022] Furthermore, the connector is provided with a locking part, which can cooperate with locking parts on other connectors to lock when expanding the connection to other facilities.

[0023] Furthermore, the connector is also provided with electrical contacts, which are electrically connected to a power source and / or signal source via wires, for providing power and / or transmitting signals when expanding connections to other facilities.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes an airflow control device, which is disposed on at least one of the following three: the air source, the air pipe, and the recreational facility; the airflow control device is connected to the air pipe and is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the airflow.

[0025] Furthermore, the airflow control device includes a valve connected to the air pipe for controlling the on / off state and / or flow rate of the airflow passing through the air pipe.

[0026] Furthermore, the airflow control device also includes a diversion structure, through which the gas flowing through the air pipe can be diverted or merged; the diversion structure includes at least one ventilation passage, and the ventilation passage is provided with at least three interconnected branch ports, which are respectively connected to the air pipe.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0028] In this invention, the base pad and the first guardrail are connected by a support. By inflating or deflating the support, the first guardrail can be flexibly flipped up or down relative to the base pad. This allows the first guardrail to have three states: a barrier state, an expanded area state, and a stacked state. By switching between these three states, it can protect the player, prevent the player from falling from the base pad to the outside, increase the play area of ​​the base pad, change the usage state of the first guardrail, facilitate interaction and communication with the player on the base pad, and enrich the functionality of the first guardrail. Furthermore, by using a support section for support, the space from the bottom of the first guardrail to the ground is completely filled with air by the support section, making the first guardrail very stable when it is erected vertically, effectively improving safety. After the support section is deflated, the first guardrail can flexibly flip over and fall to the inside or outside of the base pad. When flipped over and fallen to the outside, it can cooperate with the base pad to form a flat mat for players to play on. When flipped over and fallen to the inside, it can be stacked on the base pad for other uses, expanding the functionality of the first guardrail.

[0029] In some embodiments, the present invention also has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] Because the support section of this invention connects to both the base and the first guardrail surface-to-surface, inflating the support section provides a larger supporting surface for the first guardrail, resulting in more stable support and improved safety. Deflating the support section allows the first guardrail to fold outwards relative to the base, creating an unobstructed folding space and a flat play area. Furthermore, when the guardrail folds inwards, the deflated support section allows the first guardrail to flip inwards without obstruction, increasing flexibility. Moreover, the inclusion of a second guardrail, fixed vertically and working in conjunction with the first guardrail to form a stable enclosure, allows the recreational facility of this invention to operate in multiple modes, offering more diverse gameplay and greater ease of use. The first guardrail can be automatically raised or lowered by independently inflating or deflating the support section through air pipes, achieving a high degree of automation and ease of use. Furthermore, the multiple cavities comprising the first guardrail are independently connected to an air source through air pipes, and are controlled by an airflow control device and locked by a guardrail locking device. The protective space formed by the first guardrail and the base is very stable, and damage to one cavity will not cause overall collapse, improving safety. This invention also allows for the expansion of the connecting base, enabling the increase or decrease of the number of toy facilities, changes in variety, and interchange of their positions, resulting in a wider range of play options. This significantly reduces consumer costs and greatly enhances the richness, variety, and fun of playing with the amusement facilities. Moreover, during assembly, connection to the air source and electricity is achieved simultaneously without additional action, making it extremely convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a recreational facility including a base 1, a first guardrail 2, and a support 3. The base 1, first guardrail 2, and support 3 are inflatable, deformable cavities made of soft materials, and are not interconnected. Materials used include PVC plastic, mesh, Oxford cloth, and elastic latex. They are inflated in use and deflated for storage when not in use, reducing space occupation. The base 1 can be laid flat on the ground to support players or used to connect and support other facilities, including inflatable toys, air toys, and extension equipment. The first guardrail 2 is arranged around the base 1 via the support 3. The shape of the edge and the base pad 1 can be set as a circular or polygonal shape, or a three-dimensional structure such as a house with a roof or a mushroom house, as required. The first guardrail 2, after being enclosed, matches the shape of the base pad 1. The first guardrail 2 is composed of several independent cavities. When one cavity leaks air, the entire first guardrail 2 will not collapse due to air leakage, ensuring safety. The first guardrail 2 on the same side can be made by vertically stacking multiple independent cavities. The vertical height of the first guardrail 2 can be adjusted by selecting the number of inflatable cavities. The first guardrail 2 and the base pad 1 are connected by the support part 3. After being connected by the support part 3, the support part... 3. The first guardrail section 2 can be flipped relative to the base pad section 1 without interfering with each other. The first guardrail section 2 has a fencing state, an expanded area state, and a stacked state. When the first guardrail section 2 is in the fencing state, the support section 3 is inflated, and the first guardrail section 2 can be erected vertically. The two end faces of the cavities of adjacent first guardrail sections 2 can lean against each other for support. The leaning support includes line contact and surface contact. In addition, the first guardrail section 2 is also equipped with a guardrail locking mechanism 4. Adjacent first guardrail sections 2 can be fastened and locked by the guardrail locking mechanism 4, so that the two leaning first guardrail sections 2 and the base pad section 1 form a stable protective space, ensuring the stability of the structure. The protective space allows players to enter and play safely. When the first guardrail 2 is in the expanded area state, the guardrail locking mechanism 4 is released, and the support part 3 is vented. The first guardrail 2 on each side can flip and collapse outwards towards the base part 1, increasing the area of ​​the base part 1 and allowing players to play on a larger area of ​​the base part 1. When the first guardrail 2 is in the stacked state, the support part 3 is vented, and the guardrail locking mechanism 4 is released. The first guardrail 2 can flip and collapse inwards towards the base part 1. At this time, the first guardrail 2 can act as an inflatable stool, where parents can sit and interact with the players on the base part 1, increasing the fun.The guardrail locking mechanism 4 includes structures such as Velcro, ties, snaps, locks, and zippers that facilitate unlocking and locking. Since both the first guardrail section 2 and the base pad section 1 are soft inflatable structures, players will not be bumped or injured while playing on the base pad section 1, effectively preventing players from falling out and getting hurt. At the same time, when the first guardrail section 2 is laid flat, it can increase the area of ​​the base pad section 1, providing more space for players to play.

[0046] In this embodiment, a second guardrail section 5 is also included. The second guardrail section 5 is also an inflatable and deformable cavity made of flexible material. The second guardrail section 5 is fixedly and vertically erected on the base pad section 1 to protect the player and prevent the player from falling out of the base pad section 1. The fixed connection includes heat fusion, adhesive, rope, zipper, snap fastener, Velcro, etc. The gas inside the second guardrail section 5 can be interconnected with the base pad section 1, or it can be supplied with gas from the gas source 23 alone. When the gas inside the second guardrail section 5 can be interconnected with the base pad section 1, the base pad section 1 and the second guardrail section 5 can be inflated and formed simultaneously for easy use. The first guardrail section 2 can also be used in conjunction with the second guardrail section 5 to form a stable protective space for the player to play in.

[0047] To facilitate the flexible rotation of the first guardrail section 2, allowing it to undergo various state transitions while maintaining structural stability; such as Figure 5 As shown, the first guardrail section 2 and the base pad section 1 are respectively connected to the support section 3. When the support section 3 is inflated, it can support the first guardrail section 2 to flip and stand vertically on the base pad section 1, forming a barrier. When the support section 3 is deflated (expelled), the first guardrail section 2 can flip and fall inward and / or outward to the base pad section 1, forming an expanded area and / or stacked state. The support section 3 is provided with a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface. The first connecting surface is connected to the side of the base pad section 1 to provide support for the support section 3 and make it more stable. The second connecting surface is connected to the bottom surface of the first guardrail section 2 to provide support for the first guardrail section 2. The first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are perpendicular to each other, so that the first guardrail section 2 can be perpendicular to the base pad section 1 when it is vertical. The support section 3 is preferably a cuboid structure, with the base pad section 1 connected to the side of the support section 3 and the first guardrail section 2 connected to the top surface of the support section 3, forming a 90-degree angle.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] To facilitate players' entry and exit from the base mat 1 while ensuring safety, this embodiment adds an entrance 6 to the first guardrail 2 and / or the second guardrail 5 based on embodiment 1. A barrier 7 is provided at the entrance 6 to facilitate players' entry and exit from the base mat 1 while preventing players from falling to the outside from the entrance 6.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first guardrail section 2 and / or the second guardrail section 5 are provided with an entrance / exit 6 for players to enter and exit, and a barrier section 7 is provided at the entrance / exit 6; one end of the barrier section 7 is movably connected to any one of the first guardrail section 2, the second guardrail section 5, and the base pad section 1, and can be rotated around any one of the first guardrail section 2, the second guardrail section 5, and the base pad section 1 to open or close the entrance / exit 6 for players to enter and exit; a barrier locking mechanism 8 is provided at the free end of the barrier section 7, which can lock after the barrier section 7 closes the entrance / exit 6 to prevent the barrier section 7 from opening automatically and causing players to fall from the entrance / exit 6 to the outside, causing danger; the barrier locking mechanism 8 includes Velcro, ties, snap fasteners, locks, etc., for easy unlocking and opening.

[0051] The barrier 7 can be made of an inflatable cavity or a non-inflatable net or other soft material to prevent players from getting hurt. When the barrier 7 is made of an inflatable cavity, it can be ventilated independently through the air pipe 9, or it can be ventilated to the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail 5 or the base pad 1 by setting an air passage or conduit at the connection point with the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail 5 or the base pad 1. The height of the barrier 7 corresponds to the first guardrail 2 and the second guardrail 5. When the first guardrail 2 collapses, the barrier 7 can collapse as well, so that there will be no gaps in the increased area.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] In order to enable the base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail and the support 3 to be quickly inflated and rigid, and to achieve independent inflation or deflation, thereby improving safety, automation and ease of use, this embodiment adds an air pipe 9 to the embodiment 1. The base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail and the support 3 are connected to the air source 23 through the air pipe 9.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also includes an air pipe 9, one end of which is connected to an air source 23, and the other end is connected to the base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail 5, and the support 3 respectively, so that the base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, the second guardrail 5, and the support 3 can be independently inflated or deflated. Independent inflation or deflating improves work efficiency, and if any cavity in the base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, or the second guardrail 5 leaks, the entire amusement facility will not collapse, effectively improving safety. The independent inflation or deflating (exhausting) of the support 3 via the air pipe 9 allows the first guardrail 2 to automatically stand up or collapse, resulting in a high degree of automation and ease of use.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] To ensure airtightness at the connection point when the trachea 9 is connected to the cavity and to reduce manufacturing complexity, this embodiment adds a rigid part 10 based on embodiment 4. The rigid part 10 ensures that there is no air leakage at the connection point between the trachea 9 and the cavity, making the process easier to implement and improving safety performance.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the air pipe 9 is provided with a rigid part 10 at the connection points with the base pad 1, the first guardrail part 2, the second guardrail part 5, and the support part 3, so that the air pipe 9 can be airtightly connected to the base pad 1, the first guardrail part 2, the second guardrail part 5, and the support part 3 for air conduction. The rigid part 10 is attached to the cavity wall by hot-melt welding or bonding. The rigid part 10 is provided with a through hole 11, and the cavity wall is provided with an opening 12 at the corresponding position of the through hole 11. The through hole 11 and the opening 12 are connected, and the air pipe 9 is airtightly connected to the through hole 11, so that the air pipe 9 can easily achieve airtight connection with one or more of the base pad 1, the first guardrail part 2, the second guardrail part 5, and the support part 3 for air conduction.

[0058] A protruding structure 13 is provided at least one end of the through hole 11 for connecting the end of the air tube 9 to the protruding structure 13, thereby making it easy and convenient to connect the air tube 9 to the through hole 11 in an airtight manner for air conduction. The protruding structure 13 can be a quick-connect fitting or similar construction for easy insertion and removal of the air tube. Of course, the air tube 9 can also pass through the through hole 11 in an airtight manner, thereby connecting the air tube 9 and the through hole 11 in an airtight manner for air conduction. When the air tube 9 is connected by passing through the through hole 11, the air tube 9 and the through hole 11 can be an interference fit connection, a clearance fit connection, or an overfit connection. If a clearance fit connection or an overfit connection is used, a sealing ring needs to be provided at the connection point for sealing to prevent air leakage.

[0059] The rigid part 10 can be located at the support part 3 of any two of the base pad part 1, the first guardrail part 2, the second guardrail part 5, and the support part 3, sandwiched between the cavity walls of the two connected parts; except for the end of the air tube 9 connected to the air source 23, the rest of the tube is located inside one or more of the base pad part 1, the first guardrail part 2, the second guardrail part 5, and the support part 3, so that the air tube 9 is not exposed, which affects the appearance, avoids tripping the player, and improves safety.

[0060] Example 5

[0061] To enable recreational facilities to be expanded and connected at a lower cost, creating more variety or functions to maintain the interest of participants, increase their uses, enhance overall enjoyment, and achieve more precise control, this embodiment adds a connecting base 14 and an airflow control device 18 to embodiment 4.

[0062] like Figure 5-7As shown, embodiments of the present invention also include a connecting seat 14, which is disposed on at least one of the base pad 1, the first guardrail 2, and the second guardrail 5. The connecting seat 14 has an expansion connection port 15, which is connected to an air source 23 via an air pipe 9, allowing airflow to pass through. This allows for corresponding air guidance when connecting other toys or facilities. The connecting seat 14 has a locking part 16, which can cooperate with locking parts 16 on connecting seats 14 of other toys or facilities to lock them in place during connection, preventing loosening after connection. The connecting seat 14 also has an electrical contact 17, which is electrically connected to a power source and / or signal source via a wire 22. This provides electrical energy and / or transmits signals when connecting other toys or facilities, facilitating functional expansion.

[0063] This embodiment also includes an airflow control device 18, which is disposed on at least one of the following three: an air source 23, an air pipe 9, or a recreational facility. The airflow control device 18 is connected to the air pipe 9 and is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the airflow. The airflow control device 18 includes a valve 19, which is connected to the air pipe 9 and is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the airflow passing through the air pipe 9. The valve 19 is detachably installed on the airflow control device 18.
