Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of entertainment toys, in particular to a toy water ball. Background Art

[0002] As the weather gets hotter, toys with water as the medium are very popular, allowing people to play in the coolness, such as water guns. However, water guns have a high pressure of water spraying, which can easily hurt people, especially the eyes. Currently, there is a water ball throwing game, which throws a balloon filled with water at the player. The player will get wet because the balloon bursts, and the player will try to avoid the flying water ball. This game is really a cool, enjoyable and safe summer activity.

[0003] However, the balloons used in the current water ball throwing activities are disposable balloons, which cannot be used again after they are broken. Using too many of them can easily cause environmental pollution. Secondly, this kind of water ball needs to be injected into the balloon with water under pressure, and it often requires a faucet environment to play. Many people like to play in places with water such as grasslands, beaches or rivers in the suburbs, but under the action of normal atmospheric pressure, it is difficult to inflate the balloon by directly filling it with water. Therefore, it is difficult to fill the water ball with water and expand it on the spot due to the lack of water pressure in the water source in the natural environment, resulting in a limited playing environment.

[0004] In the earlier patent application 202011567478.4 filed by the applicant, a toy water ball is described, in which magnets are respectively arranged on the edge of at least two petals, which surround each other to form a spherical shape and can generate magnetic attraction to achieve closure; so that the toy water ball can be repeatedly closed or opened, can be reused, and is environmentally friendly and clean. However, the magnet of the toy water ball is small in size and is generally fixed to the edge by gluing or hot pressing. Once damaged, it is easy to detach and can be swallowed by children by mistake, causing safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0042] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 15 , which is a toy water ball of the first embodiment of the utility model, is used in games and entertainments as a prop to be thrown. The toy water ball has a closed state (such as Figure 1 ) and expanded state (as shown Figure 2 When the toy water ball is put into water and filled with water, and then restored to the assembled state, the toy water ball forms a closed water-carrying cavity. When the toy water ball hits a person or the ground or a hard object during the game, the toy water ball is compressed and cracked into an expanded state, and the water contained in it splashes out to achieve the purpose of the game.

[0045] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 15 The toy water ball 10 provided in the first embodiment of the utility model includes a pair of petals 12 and a connecting portion 14 connecting the petals 12. Each petal 12 includes a main body (also called a water bag or a water pocket) 16 and an annular edge portion 18 extending laterally inward (i.e., away from the circumferential edge of the main body) from the circumferential edge of the main body 16, that is, the annular edge portion 18 extends inward from the outer edge of the main body 16 in the circumferential direction and exceeds the inner surface of the main body 16. A magnetic attraction component 30 is installed on each annular edge portion 18. The connecting portion 14 can be bent between an expanded state and a bent state so that the petal 12 can switch between a closed state and an open state.

[0046] When the two petals 12 are in a closed state, the two petals 12 jointly enclose a water-carrying cavity 22, and the magnetic suction components 30 on the two petals 12 attract each other so that the annular edge portions 18 of the two petals 12 fit tightly due to deformation, thereby forming a water retaining layer, which seals the water-carrying cavity 22; the annular edge portion 18 extends laterally into the water-carrying cavity 22, and the water on both sides of the annular edge portion 18 in the thickness direction of the water-carrying cavity 22 applies pressure to the annular edge portion 18 from two opposite directions, so that the annular edge portions 18 of the two petals 12 further fit tightly, thereby improving the sealing and waterproofing effects.

[0047] When in use, the two petals 12 can be opened and placed in water to fill them with water, and then the magnetic attraction assembly 30 on the annular edge portion 18 can be used to magnetically match the two petals 12 to close them and seal them to prevent the water in the water-carrying cavity 22 from flowing out in advance; when the toy water ball 10 in the closed state hits a person, the toy water ball 10 is deformed and the magnetic attraction assembly 30 on the two petals 12 is disengaged from the magnetic attraction under the action of the internal water pressure, so that the two petals 12 are separated and the water in the toy water ball 10 can splash out, thus forming an entertainment effect. The magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction assembly 30 allows the toy water ball 10 to be repeatedly switched between the closed state and the open state, so that the toy water ball 10 can be reused, which is environmentally friendly and clean; and the toy water ball 10 does not require a specific pressure water source to be filled with water, and can be used in more occasions, with stronger applicability.

[0048] The specific shape of the toy water ball 10 is not limited, such as a spherical shape, an ellipsoidal shape, an irregular spherical shape, and a cartoon shape, etc., as long as it can carry water in a closed state. In this embodiment, the two petals 12 are both in the shape of a semi-spherical shell, the main bodies 16 of the two petals 12 are symmetrical about the midline of the connecting portion 14, the annular edge portions 18 of the two petals 12 extend radially inward, and the outer diameters of the annular edge portions 18 of the two petals 12 are substantially equal. When the two petals 12 are closed, a spherical toy water ball 10 is formed.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Fig.11 and Fig.13 As shown, each annular edge portion 18 is an elastic body, which is elastic and can be deformed. When the petal body 12 is in a closed state, the annular edge portion 18 of the petal body 12 is deformed and fits tightly under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the magnetic attraction component 30. The annular edge portion 18 can be deformed. When the two petal bodies 12 are close to each other under the action of the magnetic attraction component 30, the annular edge portion 18 will be deformed. After the deformation of the annular edge portion 18, an elastic restoring force will be generated to make the two annular edge portions 18 fit tightly together to form a good sealing effect.

[0050] Specifically, when the flap body 12 switches to a closed state under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the magnetic attraction assembly 30, the two annular edge portions 18 interfere with each other in the thickness direction, thereby deforming in the thickness direction so that the two annular edge portions 18 fit tightly.

[0051] The specific material of the annular edge portion 18 is not limited, as long as it is elastic and deformable, such as silicone.

[0052] The material of the body 16 and the annular edge portion 18 can be the same or different. For example, the body 16 can be made of a thin and soft sheet such as silicone. When the body 16 and the annular edge portion 18 are both made of silicone, the body 16 can be integrally formed with the annular edge portion 18 in whole or in part.

[0053] In this embodiment, each annular edge portion 18 has a fitting surface 24 for fitting with another annular edge portion 18, that is, when the toy water ball 10 is in a closed state, the fitting surfaces 24 of the two annular edge portions 18 will fit together. The fitting surface 24 of at least one annular edge portion 18 is a concave surface in a natural state, and the concave surface is deformed toward the other annular edge portion 18 under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the magnetic attraction component 30. The two fitting surfaces 24 fit closely together under the action of the magnetic attraction component 30, achieving a sealing effect to prevent water leakage.

[0054] In this embodiment, at least one annular edge portion 18 includes an annular body 26 connected to the corresponding body 16 and a flange 28 extending inwardly from the inner side of the annular body 26 in the circumferential direction. The flange 28 is located on the lateral inner side of the corresponding magnetic attraction component 30 and can be deformed, that is, in the lateral direction of the body 16, the flange 28 is located on the inner side of the magnetic attraction component 30 (such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the outer surface of the annular body 26 and the outer surface of the flange 28 together form the fitting surface 24 of the annular edge portion 18, that is, the concave surface. Under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the magnetic attraction component 30, the flange 28 abuts against the other annular edge portion 18, that is, interferes and deforms. Specifically, in the present embodiment, one of the annular edge portions 18 comprises an annular main body 26 and a flange 28, the annular main body 26 and the flange 28 are arranged at an angle, and the angle between the annular main body 26 and the flange 28 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, that is, the angle between the concave straight line segment and the inclined segment is greater than 90° and less than 180°, and the fitting surface 24 of the other annular edge portion 18 is a plane in a natural state. When the two petals 12 are brought closer to each other under the action of the magnetic attraction component 30, the flange 28 of the annular edge portion 18 abuts against the other annular edge portion 18, and deforms under the action of the magnetic attraction force generated by the magnetic attraction component 30, so that the flange 28 changes from an inclined state to a straight state, and finally makes the surface of the flange 28 coplanar with the surface of the annular main body 26 to form a complete plane, and fits tightly with the fitting surface 24 of the other annular edge portion 18. At this time, the flange 28 is tightly pressed against the other annular edge portion 18 under the action of its own elastic force, so as to enhance the sealing effect (such as Fig.11 The thickness of the flange 28 gradually decreases in the direction away from the main body. The thickness of the flange 28 is less than the thickness of the annular body 26. The preferred thickness range of the flange 28 is 0.3-0.43 mm. The thickness of the annular body 26 is the thickness of the annular edge portion 18.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fitting surfaces 24 of the two annular edge portions 18 are concave in the natural state, that is, each annular edge portion 18 includes an annular body 26 and a flange 28. When the two petals 12 are brought closer to each other under the action of the magnetic attraction component 30, the two flanges 28 abut against each other and deform under the action of the magnetic attraction component 30. The two flanges 28 are transformed from an inclined state to a straight state, and finally the surface of the flange 28 is coplanar with the surface of the corresponding annular body 26 to form a complete plane and fit tightly. The natural state refers to the state when the two annular edge portions 18 are not under the action of external force, such as the state when the two magnetic attraction components 30 are not magnetically matched. When the magnetic components 30 on the two petals 12 attract each other, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic components 30 pulls the two annular edge portions 18 towards each other, thereby deforming the concave surface, and finally making the two fitting surfaces fit tightly together to achieve a sealing effect. It can also prevent the two annular edge portions 18 from leaking due to processing or assembly errors, thereby reducing the requirements for precision and thereby reducing the difficulty of production.

[0056] The specific method of forming the concave surface is not limited. For example, the middle of the fitting surface 24 of the annular edge portion 18 or the entire fitting surface 24 may be recessed to form an arc surface, or it may be formed by enclosing multiple non-coplanar planes or curved surfaces.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection part 14 is made of elastic material and can be bent between an expanded state and a bent state, that is, the connection part 14 can be deformed and form different bending arcs, so that the petal body 12 can be switched between an open state and a closed state. The two petal bodies 12 are connected together by the connection part 14. When the toy water ball 10 hits a person and causes the two petal bodies 12 to separate, the two petal bodies 12 are still connected together by the connection part 14, which can prevent the petal body 12 from being lost, and is convenient for users to use.

[0058] It can be understood that the two ends of the connection portion 14 can be connected to the two main bodies 16 respectively, or can be connected to the two annular edge portions 18 respectively, or one end of the connection portion 14 can be connected to the main body 16 of one petal body 12, and the other end can be connected to the annular edge portion 18 of the other petal body 12. In this embodiment, the two ends of the connection portion 14 are fixedly connected to the two annular edge portions 18 respectively.

[0059] When the pair of petals 12 are in a closed state, the connecting portion 14 is bent into a C-shaped or U-shaped structure and protrudes from the outer surface of the petals 12. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 14 is a flexible sheet, and when the toy water ball 10 is in a closed state, the connecting portion 14 is bent into a C-shaped or U-shaped structure.

[0060] like Figures 3 to 8As shown, each petal 12 has a magnetic component 30. Each magnetic component 30 includes a plurality of magnetic members 31 and a fixing component 40. The fixing component 40 includes a fixing shell 41 connected and fixed to the surface of each magnetic member 31 and a connecting strip 42 connecting the fixing shell 41. In this embodiment, the fixing component 40 is a plastic body.

[0061] The fixed shell 41 wraps the outer surface of the corresponding magnetic component 31. The "wrapping" mentioned here means that the fixed shell 41 fits tightly to most of the surface of the magnetic component 31 to ensure that the magnetic component 31 will not detach from the fixed shell 41, and it is not necessary to close all surfaces of the magnetic component 31. In the present embodiment, at least one card slot 410 is provided on the fixed shell 41 for the annular edge portion 18 to be engaged. In the present embodiment, the number of the card slots 410 is four, and each card slot 410 is respectively located at the four corners of the side of the fixed shell 41 facing away from the annular edge portion 18 (that is, the side facing the main body 16). Among them, the card slot 410 penetrates the fixed shell 41 to expose the magnetic component 31 inside the fixed shell 41. It can be understood that the card slot 410 can also be other shapes, such as a strip groove surrounding the surface of the fixed shell 41, etc.

[0062] The annular edge portion 18 has a mounting surface 29 facing the body 16 (the mounting surface 29 and the fitting surface 24 are respectively located on two opposite surfaces of the annular edge portion 18). Specifically, the mounting surface 29 is located on the annular main body 26 and faces the body 16. The mounting surface 29 of the annular edge portion 18 is provided with a mounting groove 291 and a connecting groove 292 connecting adjacent mounting grooves 291. The mounting groove 291 is used to accommodate and fix the corresponding fixing shell 41, and the connecting groove 292 is used to accommodate and fix the corresponding connecting strip 42. In this embodiment, the shape of the mounting groove 291 is similar to the half portion of the fixing shell 41 (such as Figure 4 The shape of the connecting groove 292 matches the shape of the corresponding half of the connecting strip 42. The annular edge portion 18 corresponds to the installation groove 291 and extends at least one buckle portion 293 around the periphery of the mounting groove 291. The buckle portion 293 buckles on the buckle slot 410 of the fixed shell 41 to increase the firmness of the annular edge portion 18 and the magnetic attraction component 30. In this embodiment, the buckle portion 293 covers the buckle slot 410 of the fixed shell 41 after buckling on the buckle slot 410, so that the annular edge portion 18 cooperates with the fixed shell 41 to completely wrap the magnetic attraction component 31.

[0063] In addition, each fixed shell 41 has a plug hole 415 (such as Figure 3 As shown), a protruding column 294 is convexly provided on the mounting surface 29 corresponding to the annular edge portion 18 (as shown Figure 5 As shown), the protruding column 294 is embedded in the corresponding insertion hole 415 to increase the firmness of the fixing shell 41 and the annular edge portion 18.

[0064] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fixed shell 41 can be a frame or other structure that can be fixedly connected with the magnetic attraction member 31 .

[0065] In the present embodiment, adjacent fixed shells 41 are connected together by a connecting strip 42, so the entire fixed assembly 40 is arranged in a closed ring. In other words, the fixed shell 41 and the connecting strip 42 are connected end to end in a ring-shaped arrangement. In other embodiments, a certain section of the connecting strip 42 may be omitted, that is, the fixed assembly 40 may not be a closed loop, but it must be ensured that at least one end of each fixed shell 41 is connected to the corresponding adjacent fixed shell 41 through the connecting strip 42. The purpose of such a setting is to avoid the occurrence of a single magnetic suction component 31 and the corresponding fixed shell 41 falling off, and to prevent accidental ingestion by children. By connecting the magnetic suction component 31 to at least one adjacent magnetic suction component 31 through the fixed shell 41 and the connecting strip 42, the firmness is greatly increased, and at the same time, it is also prevented from being accidentally ingested by children due to its small size.

[0066] In addition, by providing a fixed shell 41 and a connecting strip 42, the connection area between the magnetic attraction component 30 and the annular edge portion 18 and the main body 16 can be greatly increased; compared with the prior art in which only a single independent magnet is connected to the edge portion, the magnetic attraction component 30 in this embodiment increases the area of ​​the combination with the annular edge portion 18 and improves the firmness, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the magnetic attraction component 30 falling off the petal body 12 and improving safety.

[0067] In this embodiment, each magnetic member 31 is assembled with the fixing assembly 40 by integral injection molding. Specifically, the magnetic member 31 is first placed in a corresponding mold, and then hot-melt plastic is injected to surround the magnetic member 31. After cooling, the magnetic assembly 30 is taken out to form the above-mentioned magnetic assembly 30, which includes the magnetic member 31 and the fixing assembly 40. The fixing assembly 40 is the above-mentioned shape structure (including the fixing shell 41 and the connecting strip 42) set by the mold. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Then, the assembled magnetic component 30 is placed in a second mold (an adhesive layer may be provided on the surface of the fixed shell 41), and the annular edge portion 18 and the connecting portion 14 are formed by hot pressing or injection molding; the mounting surface 29 of the annular edge portion 18 is formed to match the magnetic component 30 to form the above-mentioned mounting groove 291 and the connecting groove 292, and a snap-on portion 293 is formed to snap on the snap-on groove 410 of the fixed shell 41. The structure formed at this time is as follows: Figure 6 Finally, the assembled magnetic component 30, the annular edge portion 18 and the connecting portion 14 are placed into a third mold (an adhesive layer may be provided on the surface of the fixed shell 41), and then the body 16 is formed integrally by injection molding or hot pressing, so that the entire toy water ball is completed.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, each body 16 has a first groove 161 and a second groove 162 connected to the first groove 161 on one side facing the magnetic attraction component 30. The first groove 161 is used to accommodate the fixed shell 41 for fixing the magnetic attraction component 30, and the second groove 162 is used to accommodate the fixed connecting strip 42 (the part accommodating the fixed shell 41 and the connecting strip 42, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 Specifically, each first groove 161 of the body 16 cooperates with the mounting groove 291 of the annular edge portion 18 to accommodate and fix the corresponding fixing shell 41, and the connecting groove 292 cooperates with the connecting groove 292 to accommodate and fix the corresponding connecting strip 42.

[0069] Such a configuration makes the connection between the magnetic component 31 and the annular edge portion 18 more secure. Even if there is a part of looseness between the magnetic component 31 and the annular edge portion 18, due to the existence of the fixed shell 41 and the connecting strip 42, the magnetic component 31 will not fall off alone and be acquired and swallowed by mistake. The number of connecting strips 42 is determined according to the size of the fixed shell 41 and the spacing between adjacent fixed shells 41 (i.e., the size of the magnetic component 31 and the spacing between adjacent magnetic components 31). If the size formed by two adjacent fixed shells 41 and the connecting strips 42 therebetween is large enough and not easily swallowed by children, it is also possible to form a group of two fixed shells 41, that is, it is only necessary to ensure that each magnetic component 31 is wrapped by the corresponding fixed shell 41, and at least one end of each fixed shell 41 is connected to the corresponding adjacent fixed shell 41 through the connecting strip 42. It is not necessary for all adjacent fixed shells 41 to be connected by the connecting strip 42.

[0070] The specific material of the fixing component 40 is not limited, as long as it can be firmly combined with the magnetic component 31. Preferably, the fixing component 40 is made of plastic material, so that it can be integrally injection molded with the magnetic component 31, which not only ensures a firm combination with the magnetic component 31, but also simplifies the manufacturing process. The plastic material used for the fixing component 40 can be nylon (also called polyamide, PA for short), polypropylene (PP for short), polyethylene (PE for short); among them, nylon is preferred.

[0071] Understandably, if Figures 16 to 18As shown, in other embodiments, the fixing assembly 40 may adopt a non-closed loop arrangement, that is, while ensuring that each fixing shell 41 is connected to at least one connecting strip 42, part of the connecting strips 42 may be omitted; the mounting surface 29 of the annular edge portion 18 may also correspond to the omitted connecting grooves 292, and the main body 16 may also correspond to the omitted second grooves 162. Although part of the connecting strips 42 are omitted, as long as each fixing shell 41 is connected to at least one connecting strip 42, the fixing assembly 40 can be ensured to have a sufficient size, and even if it falls off the toy water ball 10, it will not be swallowed by children by mistake. Among them, Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, both ends of each connecting strip 42 are connected to the corresponding adjacent fixing shells 41. Fig.18 As shown, each fixing shell 41 is only connected to one connecting bar 42 , and each connecting bar 42 is only connected to one fixing shell 41 at one end, and the other end is suspended.

[0072] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 In this embodiment, the connecting strip 42 is arranged in a wave-like shape, that is, the circle H of the annular main body 26 corresponding to the two adjacent fixed shells 41 is the center (such as Figure 7 The dotted circle) is a curved shape that undulates left and right. Specifically, each connecting strip 42 includes a plurality of broken line segments, which extend as a whole from the corresponding fixed shell 41 to the adjacent fixed shell 41. The reason for such a setting is to allow the connecting strip 42 to have a certain deformation (the length of the connecting strip 42 changes, so that the closed-loop fixed component 40 can be enlarged or reduced in the radial direction). Because after the magnetic suction component 30, the annular edge portion 18 and the connecting portion 14 are finally completed and placed in the third mold to form the main body 16 connecting the magnetic suction component 30 and the annular edge portion 18 as a whole, when the toy water ball 10 is to be taken out of the mold, the inner diameter of the annular edge portion 18 needs to be expanded before it can be taken out. The annular edge portion 18 itself has elasticity, but the fixed component 40 is a plastic body and has a small deformation force. It is necessary to set the connecting strip 42 to a wavy shape so that it has a certain expandability and shrinkage to achieve the process of taking it out of the mold. Of course, if the fixed component 40 adopts the following Figures 16 to 18 The connecting strip 42 can be removed from the mold in a discontinuous manner without being deformed, so the connecting strip 42 can directly take an arc shape.

[0073] In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction member 31 is a magnet. The magnet is a permanent magnet. If the magnetic flux density of the magnet is too low, the attraction between the magnets is too small, and the water ball is easy to open in advance before reaching the target, and the water leaks in the air. If the number of magnets is increased, the spacing between the magnets will inevitably decrease (the size of the toy water ball for children cannot be too large, otherwise the child's hand cannot hold it, which limits the overall size of the water ball), which will affect the deformation of the fitting surface and the sealing effect of the water ball; if the magnetic flux density is too large, the attraction between the magnets is too large, and the water ball is not easy to open. It will be painful to hit the child when playing, and it is easy to hurt the child. It is necessary to take into account both the deformation ability of the edge part and the magnetic attraction between the two fitting surfaces (not too large or too small). After unremitting efforts, the utility model of this application finally found an optimal magnetic flux density range, that is, when the magnetic flux density at the center position of the magnet corresponding to the fitting surface is preferably 130MT~260MT (millitesla), it can well take into account the above requirements.

[0074] There only need to be two or more magnetic members 31 on each annular edge portion 18, and the specific number is not limited. In this embodiment, each annular edge portion 18 is provided with a plurality of magnetic members 31, and the number of magnetic members 31 on the two annular edge portions 18 is the same and corresponds one to one, and the plurality of magnetic members 31 on the corresponding annular edge portions 18 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular edge portion 18.

[0075] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
