[0023] In the following, reference will be made to the Figure 1-7 The embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0024] As people's demand for fun in playing with snow increases, people are increasingly using the snowball clamp 100 to prepare snowballs of special shapes.

[0025] The snowball clamp 100 generally includes two rotating rods, which are rotatably connected to each other. A mold shell 3 for compressing the snowball is provided at the end of each rotating rod. The mold shells 3 on the two rotating rods are rotatably connected to each other. The user can close or open the two mold shells 3 by rotating the two rotating rods. When the mold shells 3 are in an open state, the user can place snow in the middle position of the two mold shells 3 and rotate the two rotating rods to place the snow inside the mold shells 3, and then rotate the rotating rods to close the two mold shells 3, and the snow is compressed into a snowball in the shape of the mold shells 3 inside the mold shells 3.

[0026] In the prior art, in order to connect two rotating rods, a connecting piece 2 is usually provided to penetrate the two rotating rods, so that the two rotating rods can rotate around the connecting piece 2. Since one connecting piece 2 needs to penetrate the two rotating rods, the connecting piece 2 needs to have a long length, and the penetration stroke of the connecting piece 2 is long, so it is troublesome to install the connecting piece 2. When installing the connecting piece 2, the view of the connecting piece 2 is easily blocked by the rotating rod, which further increases the difficulty of installing the connecting piece 2 and wastes labor costs.

[0027] The present application provides a snowball clip 100 that facilitates installation of a connector 2 .

[0028] The snowball clamp 100 of the present application comprises a first rotating rod 11 and a second rotating rod 12, which are rotatably connected. The first rotating rod 11 has two connecting plates 111 arranged at intervals, the two connecting plates 111 form an avoidance cavity 112, and the two connecting plates 111 are both provided with a first connecting hole 113.

[0029] The second rotating rod 12 passes through the avoidance cavity 112. The second rotating rod 12 has two connecting side walls arranged opposite to the two connecting plates 111. The two connecting side walls are both provided with second connecting holes 1211.

[0030] The first connecting hole 113 and the second connecting hole 1211 are arranged opposite to each other, and the snowball clamp 100 has two connecting parts 2, one of which is inserted into a first connecting hole 113 and a second connecting hole 1211 which are arranged opposite to each other, and the other connecting part 2 is inserted into another first connecting hole 113 and a second connecting hole 1211 on the other side of the avoidance cavity 112, and the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 can rotate around the axis of the connecting part 2, and the axis of the connecting part 2 can be the center line of the connecting part 2.

[0031] In some embodiments, the two connecting plates 111 are relatively arranged, the two first connecting holes 113 are relatively arranged, and the two second connecting holes 1211 are relatively arranged, so that when the connecting member 2 is connected to the two first connecting holes 113, the two connecting members 2 are relatively arranged, so that the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 can rotate around the two relative connecting members 2, and the rotation is smoother.

[0032] In the prior art, the snowball clamp 100 has only one connecting member 2. When the connecting member 2 passes through the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 at the same time, the moving stroke is long, and the installation of the connecting member 2 is troublesome. Compared with the prior art, the snowball clamp 100 of the present application has two relatively arranged connecting members 2. The two connecting members 2 can be respectively installed on both sides of the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12. The moving stroke when installing the connecting member 2 is short, and the installation of the connecting member 2 is more convenient, which is a significant improvement over the prior art.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the connector 2 includes an insertion shaft 21 and a cap body 22 , and the cap body 22 is connected to one end of the insertion shaft 21 .

[0034] The insertion shaft 21 is inserted into the first connecting hole 113 and the second connecting hole 1211, and the cap body 22 is located outside the avoidance cavity 112. The cap body 22 contacts the outer surface of the connecting plate 111 of the first rotating rod 11, and the cap body 22 is limited by the outer surface of the connecting plate 111 and cannot move into the avoidance cavity 112, so as to limit the distance that the insertion shaft 21 is inserted into the second connecting hole 1211, so that the connecting member 2 cannot completely enter the avoidance cavity 112, so as to facilitate the user to remove the connecting member 2, so that the connecting member 2 cannot block the rotation of the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the plane on which the second rotating rod 12 swings is defined as a swing plane, and the thickness direction of the second rotating rod 12 is perpendicular to the swing plane.

[0036] The axially extending length of the insertion shaft 21 is smaller than the thickness of the second rotating rod 12 , so that the insertion shaft 21 cannot penetrate the entire second rotating rod 12 .

[0037] In other embodiments, when the two connecting members 2 are connected to both sides of the avoidance cavity 112, the distance between the ends of the two connecting members 2 located in the avoidance cavity 112 is greater than 0, so that the two connecting members 2 do not contact each other, and when the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 rotate, the two connecting members 2 do not interfere with each other, so that the two connecting members 2 can be independent of each other and do not affect the normal rotation of the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, when the insertion shaft 21 is inserted into the second connecting hole 1211, the outer peripheral plane of the insertion shaft 21 and the inner wall surface of the second connecting hole 1211 are fitted together, and the insertion shaft 21 and the second connecting hole 1211 are interference fit. When the second rotating rod 12 rotates, the insertion shaft 21 rotates synchronously with the second rotating rod 12, and the insertion shaft 21 passes through the first connecting hole 113. The cap body 22 can limit the movement of the first rotating rod 11 along its thickness direction, so that the first rotating rod 11 can stably rotate around the insertion shaft 21.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the insertion shaft 21 has at least one positioning plane extending along its axial direction, and the inner wall of the second connecting hole 1211 is provided with at least one matching plane. When the insertion shaft 21 is connected in the second connecting hole 1211, the positioning plane and the matching plane are connected.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the insertion shaft 21 has a plurality of peripheral planes extending along its axial direction, and adjacent peripheral planes have a smooth transition. For example, the cross-section of the insertion shaft is a triangle, and each side of the triangle is an arc.

[0041] The second rotating rod 12 is provided with a convex shaft 121, and the convex shaft 121 is provided with a second connecting hole 1211. The second connecting hole 1211 has a depth extending along the thickness direction of the second rotating rod 12, and the second connecting hole 1211 has a plurality of peripheral planes extending along its depth direction, and adjacent peripheral planes have a smooth transition. The size and shape of the second connecting hole 1211 match the size and shape of the plug-in shaft 21, so that the plug-in shaft 21 is connected to the second connecting hole 1211.

[0042] In some embodiments, two adjacent peripheral planes transition smoothly, and in other embodiments, two adjacent peripheral planes transition through a chamfered plane, so that the connection is smoother when the insertion shaft 21 is inserted into the second connection hole 1211.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 are connected, the protruding shaft 121 is connected in the first connecting hole 113 to facilitate the connection between the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 .

[0044] When assembling the snowball clamp 100, first connect the convex shaft 121 to the first connecting hole 113 to connect the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12, and then insert the inserted shaft 21 into the second connecting hole 1211 in the convex shaft 121 so that the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 can rotate around the inserted shaft 21.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, two mold shells 3 are included, the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod both include a clamping part, the mold shell is detachably connected to the clamping part 4, the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod can rotate to drive the two mold shells 3 to engage with each other to form a mold cavity, the snow is compressed in the mold cavity to form the shape of the mold cavity, and then the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 are rotated in opposite directions to open the two mold shells 3 and take out the snowball.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, a sleeve 41 is provided on the chuck portion 4, and a plug-in portion 31 is provided on the mold shell 3. The plug-in portion 31 is connected to the sleeve 41 on the chuck portion 4 so that the mold shell 3 and the chuck portion 4 can be detachably connected for easy assembly.

[0047] The sleeve 41 encloses two end grooves 411 and a connecting groove 412 connecting the two end grooves 411. The plug-in portion 31 includes two cylindrical tubes 311 and a connecting plate 312 connecting the two cylindrical tubes. When the mold shell is connected to the clamping portion, the cylindrical tubes 311 are plugged into the corresponding end grooves 411, and the connecting plate 312 is plugged into the corresponding connecting grooves 412.

[0048] The plug-in portion 31 extends along the length direction of the mold shell 3, and the sleeve 41 extends along the width direction of the clamping portion, so that the mold shell 3 and the rotating rod are perpendicular to each other, which is beneficial to reducing the length of the rotating rod, that is, reducing the size of the clamping portion 4 of the rotating rod.

[0049] The above are only specific implementations of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
