Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inflatable doll technology, and more specifically to an inflatable doll with lighting effects. Background Technology
[0002] Inflatable dolls can be folded and compressed when deflated for easy storage and transportation; when in use, they are inflated using a blower to unfold into a full, three-dimensional shape, making them widely applicable for indoor and outdoor scene decoration. Inflatable cartoon dolls have internal light-emitting devices to enhance their display effect in low-light or nighttime environments; however, the light-emitting devices use fixed colors or a single lighting mode, resulting in a lack of variation in lighting effects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an inflatable doll with lighting effects, which has changing lighting effects and can attract people's attention.
[0004] An inflatable doll with lighting effects includes eyes and a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device is specifically located at the eyes and includes multiple light sources arranged vertically. The light sources are turned off one by one from top to bottom and then turned on one by one from bottom to top to create a blinking light effect.
[0005] Furthermore, the light-emitting device includes a housing, and the interior of the housing is provided with a horizontal partition to divide the internal space of the housing into multiple vertically arranged receiving cavities, and the multiple light sources are respectively installed in the multiple receiving cavities.
[0006] Furthermore, the light-emitting device includes a translucent soft plastic sheet printed with an eye pattern, which covers the front side of the light source.
[0007] Furthermore, there are specifically three partitions and four receiving cavities; the pupil area of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet corresponds to the first and second receiving cavities, the iris area of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet corresponds to the third receiving cavity, and the sclera area of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet corresponds to the last receiving cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the front side of the soft plastic sheet is covered with a shaded sheet, specifically a brown translucent plastic sheet.
[0009] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a limiting protrusion, the soft plastic sheet is provided with a first limiting groove that engages with the limiting protrusion for positioning, and the shaded sheet is provided with a second limiting groove that engages with the limiting protrusion for positioning.
[0010] Furthermore, the light-emitting device includes a cover that fits over the front of the box, with the front of the cover being a gradually raised arc shape to simulate the outermost raised arc-shaped cornea of the eye.
[0011] Furthermore, the inflatable doll is equipped with a controller inside, which is connected to a light-emitting device. The controller controls the light source to turn off one by one from top to bottom and then turn on one by one from bottom to top.
[0012] The light sources are turned off one by one from top to bottom and then turned on one by one from bottom to top, simulating the action of an inflatable doll's eyes closing and then opening, thus creating a blinking light effect that can attract people's attention. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a diagram of an inflatable doll.
[0014] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the light-emitting device. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1 The inflatable doll shown is made of flexible materials such as polyester, TC fabric, or reinforced Oxford cloth. The doll has an opening at its bottom, through which a blower 2 is fixed to inflate it; this is existing technology.
[0017] The inflatable doll has a light-emitting device 3 at each of its 11 eyes. This light-emitting device 3 is as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 31 and a colorless, transparent plastic lid 35. The lid 35 covers the front of the housing 31, and its front part is a gradually convex arc shape, simulating the outermost convex arc-shaped cornea of the eye. The housing 31 has three horizontal partitions 311 that divide the internal space into four vertically arranged receiving cavities 312. LED beads 32 serve as the light source, and four LED beads 32 are respectively installed in the four receiving cavities 312, forming a vertically arranged light source array.
[0018] The inflatable doll has a controller (not shown in the figure) inside. The controller is connected to the light-emitting device 3, which controls the LED beads 32 to turn off one by one from top to bottom and then turn on one by one from bottom to top, simulating the action of the inflatable doll's eyes 11 closing and then opening, creating a blinking effect. During the process of the LED beads 32 turning off or turning on one by one, the extinguished area and the lit area are separated by the partition 311, so the light from the lit area will not pass through the extinguished area.
[0019] The front of the internal cavity 312 of the box body 31 is covered with a translucent soft plastic sheet 34 printed with an eye pattern. Light emitted from the light source 32 inside the box body 31 passes through the soft plastic sheet 34, revealing the eye pattern printed on the soft plastic sheet 34. The pupil area 341 of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet 34 corresponds to the first and second internal cavities 312, the iris area 342 of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet 34 corresponds to the third internal cavity 312, and the sclera area 343 of the eye pattern in the soft plastic sheet 34 corresponds to the last internal cavity 312, thus achieving spatial matching between the light source and the eye structure. During the eye-closing phase, the LED beads 32 in the first internal cavity 312 turn off first. Since the front area of this internal cavity 312 is the largest, the area that darkens first is large, and the initial visual effect of the eye-closing action is obvious, attracting attention. Subsequently, the remaining LED beads 32 turn off one by one from top to bottom, simulating the gradual downward closing of the upper eyelid during the closing of the inflatable doll's eyes 11. During the eye-opening phase, the LED beads 32 light up one by one from bottom to top in reverse order, simulating the movement of the upper eyelids gradually opening as the eyes 11 of the inflatable doll open. Among them, the LED beads 32 in the first receiving cavity 312 at the top light up last, and the area that is lit last is large, making the visual effect of the inflatable doll's eyes 11 opening obvious and able to attract attention.
[0020] The front side of the soft plastic sheet 34 is covered with a shade sheet 33, which is made of brown semi-transparent plastic. The shade sheet 33 has stable light-blocking properties, ensuring that even in strong ambient light during the day, the soft plastic sheet 34 located in the area where the LED bead 32 is off remains relatively dark, making the eye pattern less obvious. However, the pattern printed on the soft plastic sheet 34 located in the area where the LED bead 32 is on is revealed by the light emitted from the LED bead 32, making the eye pattern clearly visible. Therefore, it is evident that external light has minimal impact on the pattern recognition of the soft plastic sheet 34.
[0021] The box body 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 310, the soft plastic sheet 34 is provided with a first limiting groove 340, and the shadow sheet 33 is provided with a second limiting groove 333. The installation of the light-emitting device 3 is as follows: First, the soft plastic sheet 34 and the shadow sheet 33 are sequentially placed over the front side of the internal cavity 312 of the box body 31, and the first and second limiting grooves 340 and 330 are sequentially engaged with the limiting protrusion 310 for positioning; finally, the cover 35 is placed on the box body 31 to fix the soft plastic sheet 34 and the shadow sheet 33 inside the box body 31.
