DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended for illustration and explanation of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0036] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "up, down, left, right" used without the opposite description are generally defined as the direction of the drawing surface, and "inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer contours of the relevant parts. In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The present disclosure provides a swimming ring storage and access device, which comprises a shell 10, a group of swimming rings 20 and a locking mechanism 30. The shell 10 has a containing cavity 11 for containing a plurality of swimming rings 20 and the locking mechanism 30. The top of the containing cavity 11 has an opening. The group of swimming rings 20 comprises a plurality of swimming rings 20, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the containing cavity 11. The locking mechanism 30 is used to unlockably lock the plurality of swimming rings 20 in the containing cavity 11.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the swimming ring storage and access device in the present disclosure can be placed on the shore or designated position of the water park swimming pool. Through the shell 10, the inside of the shell 10 is designed with a containing cavity 11 for storing a plurality of swimming rings 20, and the swimming rings 20 can be put in or taken out through the opening at the top of the containing cavity 11. Through the locking mechanism 30, the group of swimming rings 20 can be safely locked in the containing cavity 11 or unlocked to take out the group of swimming rings 20 from the containing cavity 11. Such design can facilitate users to obtain swimming rings 20, on the one hand, and can effectively prevent the loss problem caused by the random placement of swimming rings 20, and can facilitate the management and protection of swimming rings 20.

[0040] As an embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 to 4As shown, the locking mechanism 30 comprises a pushing member 31 and a limiting member 32, the limiting member 32 is arranged on the shell 10 near the opening, a first passage 321 is formed in the limiting member 32 to allow the swimming ring 20 to pass through, one end of the pushing member 31 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 facing the opening, the other end of the pushing member 31 abuts against the bottom of the swimming ring 20 at the end of the plurality of swimming rings 20, for adjusting the position of the plurality of swimming rings 20 in the accommodating cavity 11 in the axial direction of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the top of the swimming ring 20 at the head end of the plurality of swimming rings 20 can be in contact with the bottom of the limiting member 32.

[0041] Wherein, the pushing member 31 can apply pressure to the group of swimming rings 20 placed in the accommodating cavity 11, ensuring that each swimming ring 20 in the group of swimming rings 20 is closely arranged, and can make the uppermost (head end) swimming ring 20 in contact with the limiting member 32, that is, through the cooperation between the pushing member 31 and the limiting member 32, the group of swimming rings 20 can be locked in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0042] Wherein, the limiting member 32 is installed at the top of the shell 10 near the opening (it can be on the end face where the opening is located, or on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 near the opening), and the first passage 321 formed in the limiting member 32 allows the single swimming ring 20 to pass through. When the group of swimming rings 20 is pushed to the appropriate position, the swimming ring 20 at the head end will be pushed to just touch below the limiting member 32, so that, on the one hand, the swimming ring 20 at the head end can be easily exposed at the opening, and on the other hand, it can be constrained and locked in the accommodating cavity 11 by the limiting member 32.

[0043] Optionally, the material of the limiting member 32 can be polypropylene, polyethylene, or ABS plastic, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0044] It should be noted that when the group of swimming rings 20 is pushed to the appropriate position by the pushing member 31, the uppermost swimming ring 20 will contact the bottom of the limiting member 32. Since the material of the swimming ring 20 has a certain elasticity, under the condition of no external force, sufficient friction can be generated between the top of the swimming ring 20 and the bottom of the limiting member 32, so that the swimming ring 20 cannot slide out of the first passage 321 by itself, and this friction plus the slight deformation of the swimming ring 20 (i.e. the swimming ring 20 at the head end is slightly extruded) forms a natural locking state. When the user needs to take out the swimming ring 20, only an upward pulling force needs to be applied, since the pulling force is greater than the friction generated between the top of the swimming ring 20 and the bottom of the limiting member 32, and at the same time, the swimming ring 20 can be deformed to a certain extent, therefore, once the swimming ring 20 is deformed and its diameter is reduced, it can easily pass through the first passage 321 of the limiting member 32 and be taken out.

[0045] As an embodiment, as shown inFigures 2 to 4 As shown, the limiting member 32 includes multiple limiting protrusions 322, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the receiving cavity 11. The inner walls of the multiple limiting protrusions 322 together define the first channel 321. In the natural state of the swimming ring 20, the outer diameter of the swimming ring 20 is larger than the diameter of the first channel 321.

[0046] Multiple limiting protrusions 322 are distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, forming a first channel 321 with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the swimming ring 20 in its natural state. This design can provide sufficient friction to lock the swimming ring 20, while allowing the swimming ring 20 to pass through under appropriate external force.

[0047] When the pusher 31 pushes the swimming rings 20 to the appropriate position, the uppermost swimming ring 20 will contact the limiting protrusion 322. Since the outer diameter of the swimming ring 20 is larger than the diameter of the first channel 321, the swimming ring 20 will be stuck by the limiting protrusion 322 and cannot slide out on its own without external force. At this time, the friction between the top of the swimming ring 20 and the limiting protrusion 322, as well as the elasticity of the swimming ring 20 itself, work together to firmly lock the swimming ring 20 in the receiving cavity 11. When the user needs to remove the swimming ring 20, only an upward pulling force needs to be applied. This pulling force must be greater than the friction between the swimming ring 20 and the limiting protrusion 322. As the pulling force increases, the swimming ring 20 will undergo a certain deformation, and its outer diameter will decrease to the point that it can pass through the first channel 321. Once the swimming ring 20 undergoes a sufficiently large deformation, the swimming ring 20 can smoothly pass through the channel formed by the limiting protrusion 322 and thus be removed from the receiving cavity 11.

[0048] In another implementation, the limiting member 32 is an annular protrusion extending circumferentially along the receiving cavity 11. In the natural state of the swimming ring 20, the outer diameter of the swimming ring 20 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting member 32. This design also utilizes the elastic properties of the swimming ring 20 to achieve the locking and unlocking functions. The annular protrusion can apply more uniform pressure to the swimming ring 20, which helps to reduce the risk of damage caused by excessive local pressure.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the inner edge of the limiting member 32 is curved. This curved design reduces the direct contact area and friction between the swimming ring 20 and the limiting member 32, thereby reducing wear between them. This not only extends the lifespan of the swimming ring 20 but also helps maintain the long-term performance of the limiting member 32. The curved design reduces sharp edges, lowering the risk of injury to users during use, which is especially important for children. The curved design also allows the swimming ring 20 to deform more smoothly when passing through the limiting member 32, reducing the possibility of it getting stuck or damaged.

[0050] As an implementation form, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 The pushing member 31 comprises a pushing plate 311, an elastic member 312, and an extension rod 313. One end of the extension rod 313 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 facing the opening, and the other end of the extension rod 313 is connected to the bottom of the pushing plate 311. The top of the pushing plate 311 abuts against the bottom of the swim ring 20 at the end of the plurality of swim rings 20. The elastic member 312 is sleeved on the extension rod 313. One end of the elastic member 312 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 facing the opening, and the other end of the elastic member 312 is connected to the bottom of the pushing plate 311. The elastic member 312 is used to provide an elastic force to keep the group of swim rings 20 at the position of the top of the pushing plate 311 and the bottom of the limiting member 32.

[0051] Without external force, the elastic force provided by the elastic member 312 pushes the pushing plate 311 upward, so that the group of swim rings 20 are closely arranged, and the uppermost swim ring 20 is in contact with and locked by the limiting member 32. When the user needs to take out the swim ring 20, an upward pulling force is applied to overcome the friction between the limiting member 32 and the swim ring 20. With the uppermost swim ring 20 being taken out, the pushing plate 311 continues to push the remaining swim rings 20 upward under the action of the elastic member 312, so as to ensure that the next swim ring 20 is still in contact with the limiting member 32. When the user needs to put in a new swim ring 20, the swim ring 20 at the leading end can be pressed downward to make the pushing plate 311 move downward and drive the elastic member 312 to be compressed, so that the new swim ring 20 can be put into the accommodating cavity 11. After the pushing force is removed, the pushing plate 311 pushes the group of swim rings 20 upward again to keep them closely arranged.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 The elastic member 312 in the present disclosure can be a spring.

[0053] As an implementation form, as shown in Figures 2 to 5 The swim ring access device further comprises an identification column 40. The inner walls of the plurality of swim rings 20 jointly define a second channel 21. The identification column 40 is vertically arranged. The two ends of the identification column 40 are arranged in the second channel 21, and the bottom of the identification column 40 is connected to the top of the pushing plate 311. A plurality of identification portions 41 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the identification column 40. The plurality of identification portions 41 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the identification column 40 and are spaced apart along the axial direction of the identification column 40.

[0054] Since the bottom of the identification column 40 is connected to the top of the pushing plate 311, the identification column 40 can move up and down with the movement of the pushing plate 311. Specifically, when all the swim rings 20 are stored in the device, the entire identification column 40 is located inside the accommodating cavity 11. When the user takes out one swim ring 20 from the device, the pushing plate 311 moves upward under the action of the elastic member 312, driving the identification column 40 to rise. With each swim ring 20 taken out, a new identification part 41 (corresponding to the swim ring 20 taken out) of the identification column 40 is exposed, indicating that the swim ring 20 at this position has been taken away. The number of the identification parts 41 rising is proportional to the number of swim rings 20 taken out. When the user puts the swim ring 20 back into the device, the pushing plate 311 is pressed downward, and the identification column 40 falls, hiding the corresponding identification part 41, indicating that the swim ring 20 at this position has been stored again. That is, the exposure of the identification part 41 can indicate that the swim ring storage and taking device can continue to store swim rings 20, and the number of the exposed identification parts 41 can indicate that the swim ring storage and taking device can continue to store swim rings 20 corresponding to the number of the exposed identification parts 41. Through the identification parts 41 on the identification column 40, even a user far away can see at a glance which swim ring storage and taking device has taken away the swim ring 20 at which position and which swim ring storage and taking device still has space to store swim rings 20 at which position.

[0055] Each identification part 41 corresponds to a position of a swim ring 20, and the identification part 41 can be a color bar, a number, a letter, or a pattern, etc.

[0056] To help the user quickly identify the storage state in the swim ring storage and taking device, as an implementation, the plurality of identification parts 41 are identified by different colors.

[0057] The identification part 41 corresponding to the swim ring 20 at the end can be a prominent red stripe, so that when the red stripe is displayed, it can indicate that the swim ring 20 at this position of the swim ring storage and taking device has been taken out and can only be stored.

[0058] To further improve the accuracy and intuitiveness of the identification, as an implementation, as shown in Figure 4 the height of the identification part 41 is equal to the height of the swim ring 20.

[0059] As an implementation, the shell 10 is configured as a transparent member.

[0060] The transparent shell 10 can allow the user to directly see the storage state of the swim rings 20 inside, and at the same time, in combination with the color identification of the identification column 40, the user can more intuitively understand which positions have swim rings 20 and which positions are empty.

[0061] Optionally, the material of the transparent member can be polycarbonate (PC), can be polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, commonly known as organic glass), or can be transparent polypropylene (PP), and the present disclosure does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0062] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above-described embodiments, and various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure within the technical concept of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0063] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not make any further description on various possible combination manners.

[0064] In addition, various different embodiments of the present disclosure can also be combined in any manner, as long as it does not deviate from the idea of the present disclosure, and it should be considered as the disclosed content of the present disclosure.
