Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of children's toy technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional sports exploration tube for early childhood education. Background Technology

[0002] The period from 3 to 6 years old is a crucial stage in a child's development. Various games can help develop a child's physical coordination. Currently available outdoor toys include exploration tubes, kangaroo bouncy bags, and elastic ropes. Exploration tubes help cultivate a child's body coordination and develop gross motor skills such as crawling and rolling. Kangaroo bouncy bags strengthen a child's leg and core strength, improve jumping ability, and enhance body control and coordination. Elastic ropes cultivate a child's competitive spirit and strengthen their core and leg endurance.

[0003] While the three toys mentioned above can provide children with excellent physical exercise during play, they are separate toys with limited gameplay, making them inconvenient to store and organize. They are also not easy to carry when used outdoors, and due to their limited gameplay, children may lose interest quickly during play. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a multifunctional sports exploration tube for early childhood education.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional sports exploration tube for early childhood education, comprising a first hollow tube and a second hollow tube. The first hollow tube includes a first elastic fabric and a first support ring, which are fixedly connected by a sewing process. Fixing components are installed around the outer perimeter of the first support ring on the left side. The second hollow tube includes a second elastic fabric and a second support ring, which are fixedly connected by a sewing process.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model comprises a first hollow cylinder, a second hollow cylinder, a fixing component, and a buckle assembly. A wedge-shaped block is inserted into the corresponding buckle slot through a connecting groove, thereby connecting the fixing component and the buckle assembly. This, in turn, connects the first and second hollow cylinders. A zipper pull separates the second zipper from the first zipper, disassembling the sealing assembly. Ultimately, the first and second hollow cylinders form a cylindrical shape with open ends, allowing children to crawl through the tunnel or roll around. This fosters children's physical coordination and develops their gross motor skills, including crawling and rolling abilities.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by incorporating a second hollow cylinder and a sealing component, allows the two wedge-shaped blocks to be separated from the inside of the fixing component by pressing the elastic connecting blocks in a direction that brings them closer together. This separation of the first and second hollow cylinders is achieved. The sealing component is then connected to the second hollow cylinder by connecting the second zipper to the first zipper via a zipper head. The second hollow cylinder and the sealing component form a cylindrical bouncy bag with one open end and one closed end. Children can stand inside the bag, hold onto the handles, and jump forward, or roll left and right like a caterpillar, enhancing their leg and waist strength. It also improves children's jumping ability, body control, and coordination.

[0015] 3. This utility model features a first hollow cylinder. When the first hollow cylinder is folded, the first elastic cloth and the first support ring form an elastic ring. Under no external force, the inner diameter of the first elastic cloth and the first support ring is about 50 centimeters. When the first elastic cloth and the first support ring are stretched, the maximum inner diameter is about 200 centimeters. Children can play games with their parents or other children. People stand inside the ring and run in different directions, shifting the elastic ring towards themselves, thus cultivating children's competitive ability and exercising their waist and abdominal strength and leg endurance.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional sports exploration tube for early childhood education, including a first hollow tube 1 and a second hollow tube 2. The first hollow tube 1 includes a first elastic fabric 101 and a first support ring 102, which are fixedly connected by sewing. Fixing members 3 are installed around the outer perimeter of the first support ring 102 on the left side. The second hollow tube 2 includes a second elastic fabric 201 and a second support ring 202, which are fixedly connected by sewing. Hand straps 204 are fixedly connected to the right side of the front and the right side of the back of the second elastic fabric 201. A buckle assembly 4 is installed on the right side of the outer perimeter of the second elastic fabric 201, and a closing assembly 5 is installed on the left side of the second elastic fabric 201.

[0025] In this embodiment, when used as an exploration tube, the wedge block 403 is inserted through the connecting groove 303 into the corresponding snap-fit ​​groove 302, thereby connecting the fixing member 3 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 4, and then connecting the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2. The second zipper strip 502 and the first zipper strip 203 are separated by the zipper head 503, thereby disassembling the sealing assembly 5. Finally, the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2 form a cylindrical tube with open ends, which children can crawl through and roll around in. This cultivates children's physical coordination and develops their gross motor crawling and rolling abilities.

[0026] Pressing the elastic connecting block 402 towards each other brings the two wedge blocks 403 closer together, separating the wedge blocks 403 from the inside of the fixing member 3, thus separating the first hollow cylinder 1 and the second hollow cylinder 2. Connecting the second zipper strip 502 to the first zipper strip 203 via the zipper head 503 completes the connection between the sealing component 5 and the second hollow cylinder 2. The second hollow cylinder 2 and the sealing component 5 form a cylindrical hopscotch bag with one open end and one closed end. Children can stand inside the bag, hold onto the handles 204, and jump forward, or roll left and right like a caterpillar, enhancing their leg and waist strength. It also improves children's jumping ability, body control, and coordination.

[0027] After folding the first hollow tube 1, the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 form an elastic ring. When the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 are not subjected to external force, their inner diameter is about 50 cm. When the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 are stretched, their inner diameter is up to about 200 cm. Children can play games with their parents or other children. People stand inside the ring and run in different directions, shifting the elastic ring towards themselves, which cultivates children's competitive ability and exercises their waist and abdominal strength and leg endurance.

[0028] The first elastic fabric 101 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastic fabric, the first support ring 102 is made of elastic material, the second elastic fabric 201 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastic fabric, and the second support ring 202 is made of non-elastic material.

[0029] Thermoplastic polyurethane elastic fabric has excellent elasticity, as well as waterproof and stain-resistant properties. The material is very soft and has anti-aging properties, making it suitable for high-performance outdoor products.

[0030] The fastener 3 includes a fastening frame 301, with a snap-fit ​​groove 302 on the inner side of the fastening frame 301 and a connecting groove 303 on the left side of the fastening frame 301. The connecting groove 303 is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove 302. The snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a fastening block 401, with two elastic connecting blocks 402 fixedly connected to the right side of the fastening block 401. A wedge block 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic connecting block 402 away from the fastening block 401.

[0031] During the process of inserting the wedge block 403 into the inner side of the connecting groove 303, the wedge block 403 is pushed towards each other by the squeezing action of the inner side of the connecting groove 303. When the wedge block 403 is fully inserted into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove 302, the elastic connecting block 402 releases its elastic force, thus completing the connection between the fixing member 3 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 4.

[0032] The first zipper strip 203 is fixedly connected to the left perimeter of the second elastic fabric 201 by a sewing process. The closing component 5 includes a closing cover 501. A second zipper strip 502 is conveniently provided on the right side of the closing cover 501. The second zipper strip 502 is compatible with the first zipper strip 203. A zipper head 503 is provided on the outer side of the second zipper strip 502. The closing cover 501 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastic fabric.

[0033] The zipper head 503 is equipped with a self-locking anti-drop structure to prevent the first zipper bar 203 and the second zipper bar 502 from opening during use. The self-locking anti-drop structure is a common existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] When used as an exploration tube, the wedge block 403 is inserted through the connecting groove 303 into the corresponding snap-fit ​​groove 302, thereby connecting the fixing component 3 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 4, and then connecting the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2. The second zipper 502 and the first zipper 203 are separated by the zipper head 503, thereby disassembling the sealing assembly 5. Finally, the first hollow tube 1 and the second hollow tube 2 form a cylindrical tube with open ends, which children can crawl through and roll around in. This cultivates children's physical coordination and develops their gross motor crawling and rolling abilities.

[0036] Pressing the elastic connecting block 402 towards each other brings the two wedge blocks 403 closer together, separating the wedge blocks 403 from the inside of the fixing member 3, thus separating the first hollow cylinder 1 and the second hollow cylinder 2. Connecting the second zipper strip 502 to the first zipper strip 203 via the zipper head 503 completes the connection between the sealing component 5 and the second hollow cylinder 2. The second hollow cylinder 2 and the sealing component 5 form a cylindrical hopscotch bag with one open end and one closed end. Children can stand inside the bag, hold onto the handles 204, and jump forward, or roll left and right like a caterpillar, enhancing their leg and waist strength. It also improves children's jumping ability, body control, and coordination.

[0037] After folding the first hollow tube 1, the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 form an elastic ring. When the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 are not subjected to external force, their inner diameter is about 50 cm. When the first elastic cloth 101 and the first support ring 102 are stretched, their inner diameter is up to about 200 cm. Children can play games with their parents or other children. People stand inside the ring and run in different directions, shifting the elastic ring towards themselves, which cultivates children's competitive ability and exercises their waist and abdominal strength and leg endurance.
