Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a toy, in particular to a rapid prototyping toy clip. Background Art

[0002] Playing with mud and sand is a beloved activity for every child. It enhances their hands-on skills, their perception of fluids, and their understanding of shapes and patterns, making it a common method for early childhood development. The medium for playing with mud and sand has evolved from physical mud and sand to cleaner, artificial products like plasticine and space sand. The content and forms of playing with mud and sand are diverse, ranging from piling them into various shapes, running them through fingers, and shaping them with molds. The most popular method is shaping with molds.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with publication number "CN217163215U" and titled "Model Clip Toy" discloses a model clip toy comprising a first mold shell, a second mold shell, and a clip. The clip comprises a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm hinged to the first clamping arm by a locking screw and mirror-symmetrical. The first and second mold shells are respectively disposed at the clamping ends of the first and second clamping arms, and can cover the first and second mold shells when the clamping ends of the first and second clamping arms are closed. When playing with the toy, the first and second clamping arms need to be manually opened relative to each other, which is relatively cumbersome and makes the toy less playable and less interesting. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rapid prototyping toy clamp which has a reasonable structure and is easy to operate and play.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution provided by the present utility model is:

[0006] A rapid prototyping toy clamp comprises two clamping arms and two mold shells, a handle, a pull rod and an elastic component respectively arranged on the two clamping arms. The two clamping arms are arranged at the front end of the handle. The pull rod is movably arranged in the handle and can drive the two clamping arms to perform a clamping action relative to each other when it moves toward the tail end of the pull rod. The elastic component is arranged in the handle and can push the pull rod to move toward the front end of the handle, thereby linking the two clamping arms to perform a relative opening action.

[0007] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a gripping portion is provided at the tail end of the handle, which increases the comfort of gripping and facilitates the user to grip and operate the toy clamp stably.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the gripping portion is ring-shaped, and the ring-shaped design is more ergonomic, making it easier for the user's fingers to pass through and firmly hold the toy clip.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two clamping arms are each hinged to the handle via a hinge shaft. The front end of the pull rod is hinged to the two clamping arms, and the rear end extends to the rear end of the handle and is provided with a trigger. The trigger drives the pull rod to move, causing the two clamping arms to clamp and open relatively smoothly.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the button portion is T-shaped, which is more convenient and easy to operate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pull rod is provided with a guide slot extending along its axial direction, and the handle is provided with a guide post adapted to the guide slot. This ensures the stability of the pull rod during movement, preventing it from deflecting or shaking during movement, thereby ensuring more flexible and smooth clamping and opening of the toy clamp.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a disassembly and assembly post is provided in the middle of the outer surface of the mold shell, and a disassembly and assembly socket is provided on the clamping arm to match the disassembly and assembly post. By replacing the mold shell with a corresponding shape, children can create more interesting models with media such as snow, sand, colored clay, and space sand, effectively improving the playability and fun of the toy, allowing children to gain more fun and satisfaction from it.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the present invention, there are two detachable plug posts, which are arranged side by side on the clamping arm, resulting in a good assembly effect and making it difficult for the mold shell to fall off.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member is a tension spring, one end of which is snapped onto the pull rod, and the other end is snapped onto the pull rod. The elastic force of the tension spring can stably push the pull rod toward the front end of the handle, thereby ensuring that the toy clamp automatically opens after the pull rod is released.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention has a reasonable structural design. In a natural state, the elastic force of the elastic component is used to drive the pull rod forward, linking the two clamping arms to open relative to each other, making it easy to fill the space between the two mold shells with a medium such as snow, sand, colored clay, or space sand. The pull rod is then pushed backward to link the two clamping arms to clamp relative to each other, thereby compacting and shaping the medium between the two mold shells. At this time, the pull rod is released, and the elastic force of the elastic component links the two clamping arms to open relative to each other, allowing the two mold shells to separate and form the desired three-dimensional model. The operation is simple and convenient, effectively improving the playability and fun of the toy.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Example 1, see Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment provides a rapid prototyping toy clamp, which includes two clamping arms 1, two mold shells 2, a handle 3, a pull rod 4 and an elastic component 5. In the present embodiment, the two mold shells 2 are in the shape of a five-pointed star. The two mold shells 2 are correspondingly arranged on the two clamping arms 1. Specifically, a disassembly and assembly plug 21 is provided at the middle position of the outer surface of the mold shell 2, and the clamping arm 1 is provided with a disassembly and assembly socket 11 that is compatible with the disassembly and assembly plug 21. Preferably, the number of the disassembly and assembly plug 21 is two, which are arranged side by side on the clamping arm 1, and the assembly effect is good, so that the mold shell 2 is not easy to fall off. By replacing the mold shell 2 of the corresponding shape, children can make more interesting media models such as snow, sand, colored clay, space sand, etc., which effectively improves the playability and fun of the toy and enables children to get more fun and satisfaction from it.

[0023] The two clamping arms 1 are disposed at the front end of the handle 3. The pull rod 4 is movably disposed within the handle 3 and can drive the two clamping arms 1 to perform a relative clamping action when the pull rod 4 moves toward the rear end of the pull rod 4. Specifically, the two clamping arms 1 are each hinged to the handle 3 via a hinge shaft. The front end of the pull rod 4 is hinged to the two clamping arms 1, and the rear end extends to the rear end of the handle 3. A triggering portion 41 is provided. The triggering portion 41 drives the pull rod 4 to move, driving the two clamping arms 1 to perform a relatively stable and smooth clamping and opening action. Preferably, the triggering portion 41 is T-shaped, which is more convenient and easy to operate.

[0024] The elastic member 5 is disposed within the handle 3 and is capable of pushing the pull rod 4 toward the front end of the handle 3, thereby causing the two clamping arms 1 to open relative to each other. Preferably, the elastic member 5 is a tension spring, one end of which is snapped onto the pull rod 4, and the other end is snapped onto the pull rod 4. The elastic force of the tension spring can steadily push the pull rod 4 toward the front end of the handle 3, thereby ensuring that the toy clamp automatically opens when the pull rod 4 is released.

[0025] A grip portion 31 is provided at the tail end of the handle 3 to increase grip comfort and facilitate the user to stably hold and operate the toy clip. Preferably, the grip portion 31 is ring-shaped, which is more ergonomic and facilitates the user's fingers to pass through and firmly hold the toy clip.

[0026] Preferably, the pull rod 4 is provided with a guide slot 42 extending along its axial direction, and the handle 3 is provided with a guide post 32 adapted to the guide slot 42. This ensures the stability of the pull rod 4 during movement, prevents the pull rod 4 from deflecting or shaking during movement, and ensures that the clamping and opening actions of the toy clamp are more flexible and smooth.

[0027] When playing, see Figure 3 In the natural state, the elastic force of the elastic component 5 drives the pull rod 4 forward to link the two clamping arms 1 to open relative to each other. At this time, the space between the two shells 2 can be filled with snow, sand, color clay, space sand and other media. Figure 4 , the triggering portion 41 is pulled, thereby pushing the pull rod 4 backward and linking the two clamping arms 1 to clamp together, thereby compacting and molding the medium between the two mold shells 2. Then, the triggering portion 41 is released, and the pull rod 4, under the elastic force of the elastic member 5, links the two clamping arms 1 to open relative to each other, allowing the two mold shells to separate and form the desired three-dimensional model. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0028] Example 2, see Figure 5 This embodiment provides a rapid prototyping toy clamp, which is essentially the same structure as that of the first embodiment, differing in that the two mold shells 2 are shaped like toy cars. In other embodiments, the mold shells 2 can also be shaped like a circle, a square, or a cartoon action figure to meet different styling requirements, making the toy more playable and interesting.
