[0020] The technical solution of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the sensory activity ball described in the present invention includes a main body 1 and a plurality of rubber strips 2. The surface of the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of ribs 11, which are spaced apart to form a plurality of grooves 12 on the surface of the main body 1. The main body 1 is a sphere or a polyhedron, and the rubber strips 2 can be embedded in any groove 12 and set on the main body 1. The main body 1 is a three-dimensional structure, usually a sphere, but it can also be a polyhedron such as a square, rectangle, regular hexagon, etc., which can fully develop children's spatial imagination.

[0022] Preferably, the main body 1 is spherical. The spherical main body 1 is more entertaining and convenient for children to take it and play filling games.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of ribs 11 and grooves 12 are distributed on the surface of the main body 1, and a plurality of rubber strips 2 can be arbitrarily filled in the grooves 12 to achieve various combinations and stimulate children's cognitive development through an open hands-on method, encourage children's creativity, and be beneficial to patients with autism, ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It takes up little space and is easy to carry.

[0024] The rubber strip 2 is made of silicone material, and the width of the groove 12 on the main body 1 is less than or equal to the diameter of the rubber strip 2. The rubber strip 2 made of silicone is elastic, and the rubber strip 2 and the groove 12 have an interference fit, thereby being fixed to the main body 1. Multiple rubber strips 2 can be formed into various structures or shapes on the main body 1, thereby promoting children's cognitive development through an open-ended hands-on approach.

[0025] Specifically, the main body 1 is made of a hard material, and the main body 1 includes two thin-walled symmetrical structures, which are paired and connected to form a hollow main body 1. Hard materials include plastics, plastic cements and other formable materials. The strength of the hard material can ensure the structural stability of the hollow main body 1 and reduce the overall weight, making it convenient for children to play and carry. Taking the spherical main body 1 as an example, the symmetrical structure is a hemispherical shell. The two hemispherical shells can be paired to form a complete spherical main body 1. It can be understood that the hemispherical shells can be provided with a threaded or snap-fit ​​connection to achieve a fixed connection. Of course, other existing connection methods, such as bonding, ultrasonic welding, etc. can also be used for the assembly of the main body 1.

[0026] Preferably, the main body 1 is made of a soft material and comprises two symmetrical thick-walled structures, which are paired and connected to form the hollow main body 1. The soft material includes an elastic material such as silicone. The main body 1 has a certain wall thickness, which ensures a stable hollow structure and a better feel when made of silicone. Furthermore, the ribs 11 are integrally molded with the main body 1. When the silicone rubber strip 2 is embedded in the grooves 12 formed by the silicone ribs 11, it provides a better feel and a more stable connection.

[0027] The main body 1 is provided with a hard inner liner 3. To reduce the production cost of the main body 1, the wall thickness of the main body 1 can be reduced. The hard inner liner 3 is provided within the main body 1 as a structural support. While ensuring the feel of the main body 1 and the ribs 11, the hard inner liner 3 is used to support the main body 1, thereby reducing the overall cost. As mentioned above, for ease of processing, the hard inner liner 3 can be divided into two hemispherical shells. The main body 1 is a thin-walled structure that is coated on the hard inner liner 3. The two hemispherical shells are paired and connected to form the hard inner liner 3, so that the main body 1 is coated on the outer wall of the hard inner liner 3.

[0028] Several of the ribs 11 are arranged on the surface of the main body 1 in the form of long straight lines, short straight lines, bent lines or dots, thereby forming several interconnected grooves 12. Specifically, the ribs 11 are arranged longitudinally or transversely, and can form grooves 12 of different lengths in a long and short interval manner. Of course, adjacent long straight lines and / or short straight lines can be connected by transitional ribs 11 to form a bent shape. Similarly, forked ribs 11 can also be formed. The shortest form of long straight lines and short straight lines is dot-shaped. Several dot-shaped ribs 11 can form a dot matrix area on the surface of the main body 1. Several adjacent grooves 12 can be connected to form a maze-like pattern, so that the fixing and filling positions of the rubber strip 2 can be more arbitrary, promoting children's cognitive development with an open hands-on approach.

[0029] Furthermore, the plurality of grooves 12 form at least one variable area on the surface of the main body 1, and the ribs 11 in the variable area are arranged in the form of short straight lines or dots. Specifically, the ribs 11 in the variable area adopt short straight lines or convex dots of consistent length, thereby forming an independent fillable variable area.

[0030] The ribs 11 are arranged along the X-axis or the Y-axis, and several ribs 11 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the Z-axis. In the XYZ axis system, the ribs 11 distributed on the surface of the main body 1 are arranged along the X-axis or the Y-axis. Specifically, the outer surface of the main body 1 is divided into three parts along the Z-axis: upper, middle, and lower. The ribs 11 distributed on the surface of the middle portion of the main body 1 are all parallel to the X-axis, and the ribs 11 distributed on the surfaces of the upper and lower portions of the main body 1 are all parallel to the Y-axis. Thus, the ribs 11 distributed on the surface of the main body 1 are symmetrically arranged, and the ribs 11 distributed on the two symmetrical structures of the main body 1 are also identical. A single mold can be used to process the two symmetrical structures of the main body 1, effectively saving production costs.

[0031] The two inner side walls of the groove 12 are both perpendicular to the horizontal projection plane. The groove 12 formed between two adjacent ribs 11 is approximately U-shaped, and the rubber strip 2 can be more stably embedded in the groove 12.

[0032] The length of some of the rubber strips 2 is greater than the length of the ribs 11. For example, in a spherical body 1, the ribs 1 on the body 1 are of unequal length, and the grooves 12 formed thereby are also of unequal length. Furthermore, the lengths of the rubber strips 2 can be unequal, and the lengths of some of the rubber strips 2 are greater than the length of the ribs 11, making it easier to fill the grooves 12, avoiding a lengthy and complicated filling process that could bore children.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the scope of the present invention patent application are included in the scope of the present invention patent application.
