Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the toy manufacturing field, shell toys, such as shell toys, are deeply loved by users, especially children, because they are easy to store and carry, as well as fun to play with.

[0003] Then, because shell toys are often opened or closed during use, they need to be connected with the help of shaft connectors. The use of the structure not only increases the structural complexity of the toy, but also requires higher precision to ensure the fit between the shaft and the shell during the manufacturing process, thereby increasing the difficulty of assembly. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, during use, the shaft connector not only affects the sealing of the shell structure, but is also easily damaged, thus affecting the service life of the toy. Although some shell toys do not use the shaft connector structure and are combined in a separate manner, this structure is not only inconvenient to operate, but also cannot simulate the opening and closing design of the shell, resulting in a poor experience.

[0004] In addition, some of them adopt a folding method instead of the shaft connecting piece structure to realize the opening and closing of the shell, but the folding part is easy to break after being folded for a long time, and the service life is short.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0074] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention.

[0075] Implementation Method 1

[0076] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a shell toy, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S10: preparing a first shell 1 having at least two first concave areas, wherein a first connection area is formed between two adjacent first concave areas;

[0078] Step S20: Prepare a second shell 2 having at least two second concave areas, wherein a second connecting area is formed between two adjacent second concave areas, and at least one of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 is a blister body prepared by a blister forming process. In addition, this embodiment only takes the example that both the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are blister bodies prepared by a blister forming process as an example for explanation.

[0079] Step S30: After stacking and compounding the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 from top to bottom, a shell toy having a first cover body 11 and a second cover body 12 is obtained, wherein the first concave area is overlapped with the corresponding second concave area to form an accommodating cavity, and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are snap-fitted in the circumferential direction, and the first connecting area and the second connecting area are overlapped to form a folding area for allowing the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12 to cover or open each other.

[0080] It can be seen from the above steps that: since the shell toy prepared in the above steps replaces the separate combined shell structure and omits structures such as the connecting shaft assembly, it is convenient for automatic processing and manufacturing in the process, thereby simplifying the process and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0081] The shell toy with a shell-like structure prepared through the above steps can not only be opened and closed conveniently, but also can be carried around, and can bring a good experience to the user and enhance the fun.

[0082] In addition, the above steps prepare the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 through the vacuum forming process, so that the inside and outside of the shell can be provided with patterns, and with the help of the three-dimensional structure of the shell itself, the inside and outside of the accommodating cavity of the shell toy can be covered with patterns and present a three-dimensional effect. Compared with the method of directly printing pattern coatings on the inner and outer surfaces of the three-dimensional shell, it not only simplifies the process and reduces costs, but also can provide better protection for the three-dimensional pattern, thereby enhancing its durability and wear resistance.

[0083] In addition, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 of this embodiment are made of lightweight blister material and cleverly designed, so that the shell toy is easy to carry around and is particularly suitable for children to use in various occasions.

[0084] In addition, when the shell toy set is closed, it also has a storage function, which can store accessories such as keys, small dolls, etc. and prevent them from being lost.

[0085] Further preferably, Figure 2 As shown, after the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are stacked and compounded from top to bottom, the step of obtaining the shell toy further includes:

[0086] Step S40: cutting and grooving the folding area to form an easily foldable structure with folding grooves.

[0087] Through this step, the folding areas of the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 of the shell toy can be folded better, can be folded repeatedly for a long time, and are not easily damaged, so that the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 can be opened and closed like a shell mechanism.

[0088] Obviously, it should be noted that the step of cutting and grooving the folding area to form an easily foldable structure with folding grooves can also be performed before step S10 or step S20, and no specific limitation or elaboration is made here.

[0089] Further preferably, the folding area is a non-blister area to prevent the blister area from being arranged in the folding area and affecting the folding of the shell.

[0090] Further preferably, the folding area is printed with a pattern of an imitation shaft connector, which can better form the color effect of the imitation shaft structure, thereby enhancing the experience and simulation effect of the shell toy.

[0091] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate folding and reduce manufacturing costs, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 in this embodiment are made of ultra-thin materials, and their thicknesses are preferably 0.2-0.5 mm, and only 0.3 mm is used as an example for illustration.

[0092] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the concave depth of the first concave area is preferably 16 mm, and this is only used as an example for explanation without any specific limitation or elaboration.

[0093] Further preferably, the easy-folding structure further comprises: a hanging hole portion 13 which is arranged in the folding groove, connected to the folding area and provided with a hanging hole.

[0094] Through the hanging hole 13, the folding area can be combined with a key ring or a hook without affecting the folding function, so that it is easy to carry. Moreover, compared with other areas, the sealing of the shell will not be destroyed, and the strength of this area is more reliable and not easily damaged by wearing a pendant.

[0095] Further preferably, the surface of the first shell 1 forming the first concave area is provided with a first pattern, wherein the first pattern is a three-dimensional pattern and / or a plane pattern.

[0096] Further preferably, a second pattern is provided on the surface of the second shell 2 on the side opposite to the second concave area, wherein the second pattern is a three-dimensional pattern and / or a plane pattern, wherein, Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, only the first pattern and the second pattern are three-dimensional patterns as an example for explanation.

[0097] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the surface of the first concave area is provided with wrinkles formed by vacuum forming, as well as a plurality of concave areas and a plurality of convex areas, etc., so as to enhance the simulated three-dimensional effect of the pattern.

[0098] Further preferably, Fig.13 As shown, a first shell 1 having at least two first concave areas is prepared, wherein the step of forming a first connection area between two adjacent first concave areas, i.e., step S10, includes the following steps:

[0099] Step S101: According to a preset first pattern, a first ink layer with a first pattern is printed on the sticker body of the first shell 1 to obtain a blister film body;

[0100] Step S102: making a blister mold according to a preset first pattern;

[0101] Step S103: performing a blister process on the blister film body through a blister mold to obtain a first shell 1;

[0102] Step S104: performing die-cutting processing on the first shell 1 to form a first engaging portion 111 located in the circumferential direction of the first concave area.

[0103] Further preferably, in step S105, the following step is also included: die-cutting the circumference of the first shell 1 to form a decorative portion 15a connected to the circumference of the first concave area.

[0104] Further preferably, Fig.14 As shown, a second housing 2 having at least two second concave areas is prepared, wherein the step of forming a second connection area between two adjacent second concave areas, i.e., step S20, includes:

[0105] Step S201: printing a second ink layer with a second pattern on the sticker body of the second shell 2 according to a preset second pattern to obtain a blister film body;

[0106] Step S202: making a blister mold according to a preset second pattern.

[0107] Step S203: performing a blister process on the blister film body through a blister mold to obtain a second shell 2, wherein the coating length of the second connection area is greater than that of the first connection area, and at least one end forms a positioning area 100 for inserting into the first connection area and connecting with the first concave area;

[0108] Step S205: Die-cut the second shell 2 to form a second biting portion 112 located in the circumferential direction of the second recessed area, wherein the second biting portion 112 is used to bite each other under the action of external force after the cover is formed, so that the cover is in a locked state, and automatically open after being disengaged from each other under the action of external force.

[0109] This step ensures that the second shell 2 and the first shell 1 can be accurately positioned during the subsequent overlapping process, and can be automatically overlapped under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating assembly and preventing assembly direction errors, etc., to improve assembly efficiency and ensure that the direction of the pattern is consistent.

[0110] In addition, the first bite portion 111 and the second bite portion 112 can be used to realize a combined lock at the closed joint to prevent the mechanism from springing open in the closed state, and the lock mechanism composed of the first bite portion 111 and the second bite portion 112 can be made of the same plastic material as the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, such as PVC material, which is convenient and durable. Among them, the first bite portion 111 and the second bite portion 112 can be engaged by flipping up and down alternately. In addition, the first bite portion 111 and the second bite portion 112 can be preferably set at a position on the central axis without specific limitation or redundant description.

[0111] Further preferably, in step S205, the following steps are also included: die-cutting the circumference of the second shell 2 to form a decorative portion 15b connected to the circumference of the second concave area, wherein the decorative portion 15b matches the decorative portion 15a.

[0112] Preferably, the lamination is any one of blister lamination, rolling lamination or hot melt lamination to ensure that the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can be tightly connected and not easily separated. It should be noted that this embodiment takes blister lamination as an example for explanation without specific limitation or elaboration.

[0113] As a further preferred method, Fig.15 As shown, the above step of stacking the first shell and the second shell from top to bottom in sequence to obtain a shell toy having a first cover and a second cover, i.e., step S30, includes:

[0114] Step S301: stacking the first shell and the second shell in sequence from top to bottom and then pressing them together so that the surfaces of the first shell and the second shell are closely attached to each other;

[0115] Step S302: Heat the pressed first shell and the second shell under a preset temperature condition, so that the first shell and the second shell are welded to each other to obtain the shell toy. Among them, as a preferred method, the temperature condition in this embodiment is 80-90°. The heating treatment time is preferably 3-4, so as to prevent the blister area from deforming and damaging the pattern while achieving welding. Obviously, this embodiment only takes white mist PVC as an example of material, and for different materials, the heating temperature and time set are different, which will not be specifically repeated and limited here.

[0116] Further preferably, Fig.16 As shown, after the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are sequentially stacked and compounded from top to bottom, the step of obtaining a shell toy having a first cover body 11 and a second cover body 12 also includes:

[0117] Step S50: A decorative sticker insert is formed by stacking a plurality of sticker modules, wherein a slot for inserting a protruding member is provided at the bottom of the decorative sticker insert, and the circumferential contours of each sticker module are connected to each other to form a three-dimensional pattern. Figure 7 The decorative sticker plug-in 51 shown is used as an example for explanation, which can be composed of sticker module 510, sticker module 511, sticker module 512, sticker module 513, sticker module 514, sticker module 515, sticker module 516, and sticker module 517, which are stacked in sequence in order for explanation.

[0118] This step can make it possible to match the scene simulated by the pattern set on the inner surface of the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12, and to attach a decorative sticker plug-in that can form a small doll in the accommodating cavity to enhance the fun and interactivity of the game. In addition, since the decorative sticker plug-in is composed of a plurality of sticker modules stacked together, and the circumferential contours of each sticker module are connected to each other to form a three-dimensional pattern, the blister material can be utilized to the maximum extent, saving materials and having a strong simulation effect. In addition, the sticker module and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can preferably be formed by the same plastic material through blister molding and cutting.

[0119] In addition, it is worth mentioning that Figures 7 to 12As shown, the decorative sticker inserts in this embodiment are only illustrated by two examples, such as decorative sticker insert 51 and decorative sticker insert 52, wherein the decorative sticker insert 51 is provided with a slot 51a, and is connected to the inner surface of the first concave area through a protruding piece for adhesion, and the decorative sticker insert 52 is provided with a slot 52a, and is connected to the inner surface of the first concave area through a protruding piece 52b for adhesion. Obviously, the decorative sticker insert in this embodiment can also be single or multiple, and no specific limitation or redundant description is made here. In addition, the above-mentioned protruding piece is an independent component with an adhesive at the bottom, which is used to adhere to the inner surface of the first concave area.

[0120] Further preferably, Fig.16 As shown, after the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are sequentially stacked and compounded from top to bottom, the step of obtaining a shell toy having a first cover body 11 and a second cover body 12 further includes:

[0121] Step S60: A protruding piece is adhered to the surface of the first concave area so as to insert the decorative sticker insert through the protruding piece;

[0122] Step S70: After the decorative sticker plug-in is disposed on the first concave area, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are circumferentially snap-fitted to enclose the decorative sticker plug-in in the accommodating cavity.

[0123] This step allows the protrusion formed by the adhesive sticker to be plugged into the slot on the decorative sticker plug-in, so that the decorative sticker plug-in can stand up and maintain a stable state to prevent it from shaking and being easily separated, while also enhancing the fun.

[0124] Implementation Method 2

[0125] The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a shell toy, which is substantially the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, except that the protrusion is formed by the first shell 1 during the vacuum forming process without the need for adhesive stickers, that is, as in the above-mentioned step S104, at least one first concave area is provided with a protrusion protruding outward for inserting a decorative sticker plug-in located in the accommodating cavity.

[0126] This step further simplifies the process, and enables the protrusion formed by the adhesive sticker to be plugged into the slot on the decorative sticker plug-in, so that the decorative sticker plug-in can stand up and maintain a stable state to prevent it from shaking and being easily separated or lost, while also enhancing the fun.

[0127] Implementation Method 3

[0129] This structure can enhance the welding strength and folding strength between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, and can also play a role in heat conduction and prevent deformation of the blister area.

[0130] Further preferably, the flexible sheet 3 is made of a colloid material, such as a thermally conductive adhesive, so as to enhance the tightness of the connection between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 while playing a role of heat conduction, so that the two shells can be welded in a short time.

[0131] In detail, Fig.18 As shown, the manufacturing method of the shell toy includes the following steps:

[0132] Step S10a: preparing a first shell 1 having at least two first concave areas, wherein a first connection area is formed between two adjacent first concave areas;

[0139] There are at least two first concave areas, and a first connecting area is formed between two adjacent first concave areas; there are at least two second concave areas, and a second connecting area is formed between two adjacent second concave areas, so that the first concave area is overlapped with the corresponding second concave area to form an accommodating cavity, and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are snap-fitted in the circumferential direction, and the first connecting area and the second connecting area are overlapped to form a folding area for allowing the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12 to cover or open each other.

[0140] The shell toy in this embodiment is composed of a first shell 1 and a second shell 2 made by the blister forming process, and through the operations of stacking and folding, an openable and closeable shell structure is formed to replace the separate combined shell structure, and structures such as the connecting shaft assembly are omitted, which facilitates automatic processing and manufacturing in the process, thereby simplifying the process and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0141] Furthermore, the shell toy in the present embodiment has a shell-like structure, such as a round or oval shape, etc. It can not only be opened and closed conveniently, but also can be carried around, which can bring a good experience to the user and enhance the fun and interactivity.

[0142] In addition, since the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are prepared by the vacuum forming process, patterns can be provided on the inside and outside of the shell, and with the help of the three-dimensional structure of the shell itself, the inside and outside of the accommodating cavity of the shell toy can be covered with patterns and present a three-dimensional effect. Compared with the method of directly printing pattern coatings on the inner and outer surfaces of the three-dimensional shell, it not only simplifies the process and reduces costs, but also can provide better protection for the three-dimensional pattern, thereby enhancing its durability and wear resistance.

[0143] In addition, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 of this embodiment are made of lightweight blister material and cleverly designed, so that the shell toy is easy to carry around and is particularly suitable for children to use in various occasions.

[0144] Further preferably, the shell toy further comprises: a first bite portion 111 arranged on the circumference of the first cover 11, and a second bite portion 112 arranged on the circumference of the second cover 12. The second bite portion 112 is used to bite with the first bite portion 111 under the action of external force after the cover is formed, so that the cover is in a locked state, and automatically open after being disengaged from each other under the action of external force.

[0145] Preferably, the shell toy further includes: a folding groove 16 disposed on the folding area, so that the folding area is an easy-to-fold area. The folding areas of the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 of the shell toy can be folded well, and can be folded repeatedly for a long time, and are not easily damaged, so that the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 can be opened and closed like a shell mechanism. It should be noted that the folding groove 16 in this embodiment is preferably not to penetrate the shell. Of course, it can also be designed as a groove that does not penetrate the shell according to actual needs. No specific limitation or redundant description is made here.

[0146] As a further preferred embodiment, the shell toy further comprises: a decorative sticker insert disposed in the accommodating cavity, wherein the decorative sticker insert is formed by stacking a plurality of sticker modules, and the circumferential contours of the sticker modules are interconnected to form a three-dimensional pattern.

[0147] This structure can match the scene simulated by the pattern set on the inner surface of the first cover 11 and the second cover 12, and can attach decorative stickers that can form small figures in the accommodating cavity to enhance the fun and interactivity of the game. In addition, since the decorative sticker plug-in is composed of a plurality of sticker modules stacked together, and the circumferential contours of each sticker module are connected to each other to form a three-dimensional pattern, the blister material can be used to the maximum extent, saving materials and having a strong simulation effect. In addition, the decorative stickers and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can preferably be formed by the same plastic material through blistering and cutting.

[0148] Further preferably, the shell toy further comprises: a protruding piece provided on the surface of the first concave area and used for inserting the decorative sticker insert, wherein a slot for inserting the protruding piece is provided at the bottom of the decorative sticker insert.

[0149] The protrusion formed by the adhesive sticker is plugged into the slot on the decorative sticker plug-in, so that the decorative sticker plug-in is formed into a standing shape and maintains a stable state to prevent it from shaking and being easily separated, while also enhancing the interest.

[0150] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the shell toy in the present embodiment also includes: a flexible sheet material arranged between the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12, so that the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12 are compounded by sequentially stacking a first shell body 1 with a first concave area, a foldable flexible sheet material 3 and a second shell body 2 with a second concave area.

[0151] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
