Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balloon inflatable toy technology, specifically an electric inflatable balloon toy. Background Technology
[0002] Electric inflatable balloon toys primarily use electricity to drive a small air pump, compressing air and inflating it into the balloon. Users simply connect the balloon to the electric inflator, turn on the power switch, and the device automatically inflates the balloon. This method is not only fast but also allows for precise control of the inflation amount, preventing over-inflation or under-inflation. Compared to traditional manual or foot-operated inflators, electric inflatable balloon toys offer higher inflation efficiency and convenience. They are suitable for various types and sizes of balloons, including children's balloons and decorative balloons. During festivals or celebrations, electric inflatable balloon toys can quickly produce large quantities of balloons for decoration, creating a festive atmosphere. These balloon toys can be made in various shapes, sizes, and for different purposes to meet the needs of children of different ages and interests. Most inflatable balloon toys are made of soft, non-toxic materials, ensuring children's safety while playing.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN109424514B discloses an electric air pump, comprising a housing unit, an electric mechanism with a motor, and a piston mechanism. The housing unit has a connecting seat that can be connected to the object to be inflated. The connecting seat has an air outlet and a cylinder with a cylinder chamber. The air outlet has a valve hole communicating with the cylinder chamber. The piston mechanism has a driven piston that can linearly reciprocate inside the cylinder, a drive screw that is driven to rotate by the motor and has a reciprocating guide rail, and a guide rod that transmits the power of the drive screw rotation to the driven piston and drives the driven piston to linearly reciprocate. The combination of the aforementioned structures can improve the shortcomings of existing electric air pumps, such as high noise during operation and the inability to reduce the outer diameter.
[0004] The existing technical solution described above has the following drawbacks: when inflating, the air nozzle of the object to be inflated is installed at the enlarged section 245 of the air valve hole 243, and gas can enter the object to be inflated through the air valve hole 243, so that the object to be inflated will continue to expand when inflated. When the air pressure inside the object to be inflated is greater than the friction between the air nozzle and the air inflator, the balloon is easy to detach from the air inflator, affecting the inflation efficiency. Therefore, we propose an electric inflatable ball toy to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric inflatable ball toy to solve the problem mentioned in the background art: when the object to be inflated is continuously expanded, and when the internal air pressure of the object to be inflated is greater than the friction between the air nozzle and the inflation nozzle, the balloon is easy to detach from the inflation nozzle, affecting the inflation efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric inflatable ball toy, comprising a toy body,
[0007] The outer surface of the toy body is provided with a shell, and an air tube groove is opened at the upper end of one side of the shell;
[0008] The inner side of the housing is provided with a pumping component, and an inflation pipe is installed at the air outlet end of the pumping component. The inflation pipe extends into the inflation pipe groove. A first linkage frame and a second linkage frame that can rotate in opposite directions are respectively provided on both sides of the inflation pipe. Limiting clamps are installed on both the first linkage frame and the second linkage frame.
[0009] The first linkage frame is equipped with an elastic connector that is connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the elastic connector abuts against a push button that moves through the housing;
[0010] The toy body also includes a control component connected to the pump, the control component being used to start or stop the pump.
[0011] Preferably, the pumping component includes an air pump installed inside the housing, an air collection box fixedly installed above the air pump, the air outlet of the air pump communicating with the inner side of the air collection box, the inflation pipe being connected and conductive to the air outlet of the air collection box, the inflation pipe having an air inlet sealing groove inside, and the air inlet sealing groove being sealed at the middle position of the upper end of the air collection box.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic connector includes a drive frame arranged in an L-shape, and the drive frame is fixedly connected to the first linkage frame;
[0013] It also includes a compression spring, with a first spring limiting post and a second spring limiting post respectively fitted at both ends of the compression spring. The first spring limiting post is fixed to the drive frame, and the second spring limiting post is fixed to the inflation tube.
[0014] Preferably, a first rotating column is provided inside the middle position of the upper end of the drive frame. The first rotating column is fixedly connected to the housing and rotatably connected to the drive frame. A rotating sleeve is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second linkage frame near the inflation tube. A linkage rod is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating sleeve. A linkage rod groove is opened inside one side of the upper end of the drive frame.
[0015] Preferably, the linkage rod is slidably connected to the linkage rod groove, and a second rotating column is provided inside one side of the lower end of the second linkage frame. The second rotating column is fixedly installed with the housing and is rotatably connected to the second linkage frame.
[0016] Preferably, the limiting clamp has a semi-circular arc structure, and the inner side of the limiting clamp is in contact with the outer end of the inflation tube.
[0017] Preferably, the control component includes a starting pressure block and a fixing plate connected to the starting pressure block and located inside the housing. The fixing plate is rotatably connected to the housing via a third rotating column fixed inside the housing.
[0018] It also includes a push-button switch installed on the inner wall of the housing, and a toggle plate is provided on the fixed plate opposite to the push-button switch. Pressing the start-up block can drive the fixed plate and the toggle plate to rotate and trigger the push-button switch to open.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. When inflating the balloon, pressing the push button pushes the lower end of the drive frame, causing it to rotate around the first rotating column. This causes the end with the linkage rod groove to tilt upwards, and the linkage rod of the rotating sleeve slides within the linkage rod groove. This drives the second linkage frame on the other side to rotate around the second rotating column away from the inflation tube. Simultaneously, the first linkage frame also rotates away from the inflation tube along with the drive frame, fitting the inflated end of the balloon onto the outside of the inflation tube. Releasing the push button releases the drive of the drive frame, allowing the first and second linkage frames to rotate together. The linkage frame rotates towards the inflation tube as driven by the drive frame, and the corresponding limiting clamps fit together to form a circle, clamping the gas inflation end fitted on the inflation tube. The compression spring between the first spring limiting post and the second spring limiting post pushes the drive frame closer to the push button through its own elasticity, effectively preventing the inflation nozzle of the balloon from coming loose during inflation. This solves the problem in existing electric inflatable balloon toys where the balloon continuously expands when the object to be inflated is inflated, and when the internal air pressure of the object to be inflated exceeds the friction between the nozzle and the inflation nozzle, the balloon easily comes off the inflation nozzle, affecting the inflation efficiency.
[0021] 2. This utility model involves pressing down on the starting block, which causes the lever to rotate along the third rotating column. This causes the upper end of the lever to apply pressure to the button switch, which connects the power supply to the air pump. The air pump then draws in air and blows it into the air collection box. The air enters the inflation tube along with the air collection box and finally enters and exits the balloon, thus achieving electric inflation of the balloon. After inflation is complete, the starting block is released to stop the inflation operation, making inflation simple and convenient, and safe for children to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model is an electric inflatable ball toy, comprising a toy body 1.
[0030] The outer surface of the toy body 1 is provided with a shell 7, and an air tube groove 2 is provided at the upper end of one side of the shell 7;
[0031] A pump is provided on the inner side of the housing 7. An inflation pipe 5 is installed at the outlet end of the pump. The inflation pipe 5 extends into the inflation pipe groove 2. A first linkage frame 16 and a second linkage frame 20 that can rotate in opposite directions are respectively provided on both sides of the inflation pipe 5. Limiting clamps 6 are installed on both the first linkage frame 16 and the second linkage frame 20.
[0032] The first linkage frame 16 is equipped with an elastic connector that is connected to the inner wall of the housing 7. The elastic connector abuts against the push button 3 that moves through the housing 7.
[0033] The toy body 1 also includes a control unit connected to the air pump, which is used to start or stop the air pump.
[0034] The inflation tube 5 is located inside the inflation tube groove 2, which facilitates the placement of gas on the outside of the inflation tube 5. The pump is used to blow air into the inflation tube 5, thereby further inflating the balloon. The limiting clamps 6 on the first linkage frame 16 and the second linkage frame 20 clamp and fix the inflation nozzle of the balloon, thereby preventing the balloon from falling off during inflation. By pressing the push button 3, the first linkage frame 16 and the second linkage frame 20 are driven to rotate away from the inflation tube 5, thereby releasing the clamp on the balloon inflation nozzle. The elastic connector can push the first linkage frame 16 and the second linkage frame 20 to reset when the push button 3 is released, thereby maintaining the stability during clamping. The control component can effectively control the start and stop of the pump, satisfying convenient control and adjustment during inflation.
[0035] Please see Figure 3 The air pumping component includes an air pump 11 installed inside the housing 7. An air collection box 12 is fixedly installed above the air pump 11. The air outlet of the air pump 11 is connected to the inner side of the air collection box 12. The air filling pipe 5 is connected to and conducts through the air outlet of the air collection box 12. An air inlet sealing groove 14 is provided inside the air filling pipe 5. The middle position of the upper end of the air collection box 12 is sealed to the air inlet sealing groove 14.
[0036] Please see Figure 3-4 The elastic connector includes an L-shaped drive frame 13, which is fixedly connected to a first linkage frame 16; it also includes a compression spring 27, with a first spring limiting post 25 and a second spring limiting post 26 respectively fitted at both ends of the compression spring 27. The first spring limiting post 25 is fixed to the drive frame 13, and the second spring limiting post 26 is fixed to the inflation tube 5. A first rotating post 17 is provided inside the middle position of the upper end of the drive frame 13, which is fixedly connected to the housing 7 and rotatably connected to the drive frame 13. A rotating sleeve 23 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second linkage frame 20 near the inflation tube 5, and a linkage rod 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating sleeve 23. A linkage rod groove 18 is provided inside one side of the upper end of the drive frame 13. The linkage rod 19 is slidably connected to the linkage rod groove 18. A second rotating post 21 is provided inside one side of the lower end of the second linkage frame 20, which is fixedly installed to the housing 7 and rotatably connected to the second linkage frame 20. The limiting clamp 6 has a semi-circular arc structure, and the inner side of the limiting clamp 6 is in contact with the outer end of the inflation tube 5.
[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The control components include a starting pressure block 4 and a fixing plate 15 connected to the starting pressure block 4 and located inside the housing 7. The fixing plate 15 is rotatably connected to the housing 7 via a third rotating column 10 fixed inside the housing 7. It also includes a push button switch 9 installed on the inner wall of the housing 7. A toggle plate 22 is provided on the fixing plate 15 at the position directly opposite to the push button switch 9. Pressing the starting pressure block 4 can drive the fixing plate 15 and the toggle plate 22 to rotate and trigger the push button switch 9 to open.
[0038] Working principle: When inflating, press the push button 3. Push button 3 pushes the lower end of the drive frame 13, causing the drive frame 13 to rotate around the first rotating column 17. This causes the end with the linkage rod groove 18 to tilt upwards. The linkage rod 19 of the rotating sleeve 23 slides within the linkage rod groove 18, thereby driving the second linkage frame 20 on the other side to rotate around the second rotating column 21 away from the inflation tube 5. At the same time, the first linkage frame 16 also rotates away from the inflation tube 5 along with the drive frame 13, fitting the inflatable end of the balloon onto the outside of the inflation tube 5. Release the push button 3, which releases the drive of the drive frame 13. This allows the first linkage frame 16 and the second linkage frame 20 to rotate towards the inflation tube 5 along with the drive frame 13. The corresponding limiting clamps 6 fit together to form a circle, thus inflating the gas end fitted onto the inflation tube 5. The compression spring 27 between the first spring limiting post 25 and the second spring limiting post 26 uses its own elasticity to push the drive frame 13 towards the push button 3, effectively preventing the balloon's inflation nozzle from coming loose during inflation. Pressing down the start block 4 causes the start block 4 to drive the dial plate 22 to rotate along the third rotating post 10, thereby causing the upper end of the dial plate 22 to press the button switch 9. The button switch 9 connects the power supply to the air pump 11, starting the air pump 11 to absorb air and blow it into the air collection box 12. The air enters the inflation tube 5 along with the air collection box 12 and finally blows into the balloon, realizing the electric inflation of the balloon. After inflation is completed, release the start block 4 to stop the inflation operation. Pressing the push button 3 will release the clamp 6 from the inflation end of the balloon. The toy body 1 is in the shape of a toy dog, which can be played with as a toy when not inflated, increasing the fun of the electric inflatable toy.
