[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0032] The utility model provides a flying disc. By designing a first protruding structure and a second protruding structure on the flying disc, a mounting groove formed by the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure has a large space. When a light-emitting device is assembled into the mounting groove, sufficient air will be retained inside the shell of the light-emitting device, so that the overall density of the flying disc body plus the light-emitting device is less than the density of water. The flying disc can float on the water surface and is suitable for use in scenarios on water and land.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a frisbee, including a frisbee body 1 and a light-emitting device 2. The frisbee body 1 and the light-emitting device 2 are independent of each other, and users can choose different ways to play the frisbee according to their needs.

[0034] For example, the user chooses to use the light-emitting device 2 in combination with the flying disc device so that the flying disc has a lighting effect and can be used in night scenes; or the user chooses to directly use the flying disc body 1 without the light-emitting device 2, which can be used in bright outdoor scenes.

[0035] Furthermore, the flying disc body 1 is made of a flexible material.

[0036] In this embodiment, the flying disc body 1 is made of silicone material because silicone has strong wear resistance and can withstand frequent use and throwing, and rarely breaks or deforms. It can maintain good condition regardless of whether it is on rough ground or rubs against other objects.

[0037] On the other hand, the frisbee made of silicone is relatively soft. Even if it accidentally hits the human body during play, it can significantly reduce the risk of injury. It is especially suitable for children and can more effectively protect children's safety.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flying disc body 1 includes an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12. A first protrusion structure 111 is provided in the middle of the outer surface 11. The first protrusion structure 111 extends away from the inner surface 12. A second protrusion structure 121 is provided in the middle of the inner surface 12. The second protrusion structure 121 extends away from the outer surface 11. An opening 122 is provided in the middle of the second protrusion structure 121. The first protrusion structure 111 and the second protrusion structure 121 together form a mounting groove 123. The inner circumference of the mounting groove 123 is adapted to the outer circumference of the light-emitting device 2. The light-emitting device 2 can be assembled into the mounting groove 123 through the opening 122.

[0039] It is understood that the disc body 1, made of silicone, has excellent flexibility and elasticity, capable of bending, stretching, and deforming to a certain extent, and then returning to its original shape. Under normal circumstances, the size of the opening 122 is smaller than that of the light-emitting device 2. When an external force is applied, the size of the opening 122 will be stretched, and the light-emitting device 2 can be assembled into the mounting groove 123 along the opening 122. Once the light-emitting device 2 is installed, the opening 122 will shrink and wrap around the periphery of the light-emitting device 2, forming a stable connection between the light-emitting device 2 and the disc body 1.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the outer surface 11 of the flying disc body 1 is provided with multiple circles of texture 112. When the user holds the flying disc and prepares to throw it, the texture 112 can provide better gripping friction, which helps to hold the flying disc more stably and perform accurate and powerful throwing actions.

[0041] Furthermore, the light emitting device 2 includes a housing 21 and a light emitting component 22 disposed inside the housing 21. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the housing 21 is made of a transparent material. In another embodiment, the housing 21 can be made entirely of a transparent material.

[0042] It should be noted that the flying disc body 1 in this embodiment is made of a silicone material with good light transmittance. The light-emitting component 22 provided inside the shell 21 can emit light, which will diffuse the light along the transparent portion of the shell 21 to the outside of the shell 21. Combined with the light-transmitting effect of the flying disc body 1 made of silicone, the flying disc as a whole has a luminous effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, both the first protruding structure 111 and the second protruding structure 121 are configured as arc-shaped protruding structures.

[0044] Conventional frisbees have outer surfaces 11 and inner surfaces 12 that are nearly parallel. However, the density of a frisbee is greater than that of water. Therefore, if a user fails to catch the frisbee when throwing it over water, the frisbee will sink and fail to float. This can require the user to spend considerable time recovering the frisbee from the water, resulting in a poor user experience. The frisbee provided in this embodiment effectively addresses these technical issues.

[0045] Specifically, the mounting slot 123 formed by the first and second raised structures 111 and 121 has a relatively large space. The outer contour of the housing 21 is adapted to the space within the mounting slot 123, which means that the interior of the housing 21 also has a relatively large space. After the light-emitting assembly 22 is installed within the housing 21 and the housing 21 is sealed, sufficient air is retained within the housing 21, making the overall density of the flying disc body 1 and the light-emitting device 2 less than that of water. This allows the flying disc to float on water, making it suitable for use both on water and on land, and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] Reference Figures 8 and 9 In this embodiment, the housing 21 includes a first shell 211 and a second shell 212. The first shell 211 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 2112, and the second shell 212 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 2122. The limiting posts 2122 are adapted to fit within the limiting holes 2112. The limiting posts 2122 cooperate with the limiting holes 2112 to securely connect the first shell 211 and the second shell 212.

[0047] Furthermore, the first housing 211 is provided with a plurality of concentrically arranged retaining plates 2111, and the second housing 212 is provided with retaining grooves 2121 matching the number of retaining plates 2111. The retaining plates 2111 cooperate with the retaining grooves 2121 to achieve a sealed connection between the first housing 211 and the second housing 212. In this embodiment, two retaining plates 2111 are provided, and two corresponding retaining grooves 2121 are provided. The retaining plates 2111 and the retaining grooves 2121 form a double-sealed connection structure, making the connection between the first housing 211 and the second housing 212 tighter and more waterproof.

[0048] In this embodiment, glue is injected into one of the holding grooves 2121. The glue can be silicone or epoxy resin glue. Before injection, the holding groove 2121 and its surrounding area are carefully cleaned to ensure that there is no dust or other impurities. The glue is then evenly applied to the edges and gaps of the holding groove 2121. Finally, the first shell 211 and the second shell 212 are aligned. The first shell 211 and the second shell 212 can be tightly connected by pressing. The installation operation is simple and can improve the assembly efficiency of the light-emitting device 2.

[0049] The light-emitting assembly 22 includes a battery 221, a PCB board 222 and a light-emitting unit 224. The battery 221 is electrically connected to the PCB board 222 for supplying power to the PCB board 222. The PCB board 222 is electrically connected to the light-emitting unit 224 for controlling the light-emitting unit 224.

[0050] In this embodiment, the light-emitting unit 224 is a light-emitting diode light strip, which is flexible and can be arranged along the inner edge of the housing 21. Furthermore, the edge of the housing 21 is made of a transparent material, and the light-emitting diode light strip is arranged on the inner periphery of the transparent portion of the housing 21. The light emitted by the light-emitting diode light strip passes through the transparent portion and is emitted to the outside of the housing 21, achieving a lighting effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the PCB board 222 is provided with a plurality of contact switches 223, and the housing 21 is provided with a control button 213 adapted to the number of the contact switches 223. In this embodiment, three contact switches 223 are provided. For ease of description, the three contact switches 223 are respectively designated as a first switch, a second switch, and a third switch. A control chip is provided on the PCB board 222. By writing control code to the control chip, the first switch is used to control the on and off of the light-emitting unit 224, the second switch is used to control the operating time of the light-emitting unit 224, and the third switch is used to control the flashing frequency of the light-emitting unit 224. Since the control chip and the corresponding control code are prior art and can be directly applied to the light-emitting assembly 22 of this embodiment, no further details are given here.

[0052] For example, when the user presses the first switch, the light-emitting unit 224 lights up or goes out instantly; when operating the second switch, the working time of the light-emitting unit 224 can be set like adjusting an alarm clock, such as 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.; as for the third switch, it can switch the flashing frequency of the light-emitting unit 224 between fast, medium and slow to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0053] Since the battery 221 in the light-emitting component 22 has a limited capacity, the light-emitting flying discs currently on the market mainly use the following two methods to increase the service life of the light-emitting flying disc: the first method is to use a button battery 221 to power the light-emitting component 22. Once the button battery 221 is exhausted, the light-emitting component 22 needs to be disassembled and the button battery 221 needs to be replaced, which is a relatively cumbersome operation; the second method is to design a light-emitting flying disc with a charging function, and set a USB interface on the light-emitting component 22 to connect to an external device for charging. However, the USB interface is easily flooded and is not suitable for use in water scenarios. For this reason, the prior art further proposes to set a waterproof cover on the USB interface of the light-emitting flying disc. However, the waterproof cover and the USB interface may become loose during the throwing process of the flying disc, thereby affecting the waterproof effect and resulting in a short service life of the light-emitting flying disc.

[0054] In this embodiment, the flying disc further includes a charging module 3, which includes a contact pin 31 provided on the PCB board 222. The contact pin 31 is electrically connected to the PCB board 222. The contact pin 31 can charge the battery 221 through the PCB board 222. A charging port 214 adapted for the contact pin 31 is provided on the first shell 211. The contact pin 31 extends to the outside of the shell 21 through the charging port 214 and is exposed to the external environment along the opening 122 on the flying disc body 1 for contact with an external power supply device for charging.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In this embodiment, a first step 311 is provided at one end of the contact pin away from the PCB. A first groove 2141 is provided on the outer surface of the charging port 214 to mate with the first step 311, with the first step 311 embedded in the first groove 2141. By providing the first step 311 and the first groove 2141, the contact pin 31 can seal the charging port 214, providing a certain degree of waterproofing, preventing water from entering the interior of the housing 21 through the charging port 214 and damaging the light-emitting assembly 22. In actual applications, a waterproof sealing ring can also be provided around the outer periphery of the contact pin 31 to achieve a certain degree of waterproofing.

[0056] Furthermore, the charging module 3 also includes a magnetic part 32, which is arranged around the contact pin 31, and the magnetic part 32 is used to provide a magnetic positioning function for charging the contact pin 31. Specifically, the first shell 211 is provided with a mounting position 215, and the mounting position 215 is distributed on both sides of the charging port 214. The inner peripheral contour of the mounting position 215 is adapted to the outer peripheral contour of the magnetic part 32, and the magnetic part 32 can be embedded in the mounting position 215 to form a stable connection. Correspondingly, the external power supply device is provided with a contact that cooperates with the contact pin 31. When the contact pin 31 is accurately in contact with the contact, a complete current path can be formed to realize the charging function.

[0057] In this embodiment, the magnetic member 32 is a magnet. It is understood that the external power supply device may be equipped with a magnet with opposite magnetic properties to the magnet, or with other metal components capable of attracting the magnet. When the light-emitting assembly 22 needs to be charged, the portion of the flying disc body 1 with the opening 122 is placed on the external power supply device. The magnetic member 32 can be attracted to the external power supply device and positioned, facilitating contact between the contact pins 31 and the external power supply device.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment, the flying disc body 1 is designed as a symmetrical structure to ensure that the air resistance encountered by the flying disc is evenly distributed during flight. In order to make the flying disc more stable during flight, this embodiment also optimizes the edge of the flying disc.

[0059] Specifically, the flying disc further includes a third protruding structure 13 , which includes a connecting end 131 and a free end 133 . The connecting end 131 is connected to the outer edge of the flying disc body 1 , and the free end 133 extends toward the side of the flying disc body 1 where the inner surface 12 is provided.

[0060] Furthermore, a turning end 132 is provided between the connecting end 131 and the free end 133. The turning end 132 forms a tapered structure with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from the connecting end 131 to the free end 133. It will be appreciated that the edge of the flying disc provided in this embodiment has a certain curvature and inclination, resulting in a relatively smooth overall shape. This reduces air turbulence, ensures smoother flight, and allows the user to more accurately land their throw.

[0061] The frisbee provided in this embodiment may also have patterns printed on its outer surface. Specifically, the patterns may be customized to be cartoon characters, expressions, or animal pattern lights. The patterns are simple and interesting, with bright colors and cute images, which can attract children's attention and increase the competitiveness of the frisbee in the children's market.

[0062] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can, under the guidance of the above embodiments, combine various implementation methods in the above embodiments to obtain technical solutions of multiple implementation methods.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
