Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to an inflatable toy. Background Technology

[0002] Generally speaking, children's toys are designed and manufactured for children of specific age groups. Their characteristics are related to the child's age and intellectual stage. The use of children's toys is based on a certain level of adaptability. Inflatable balls are a type of children's toy. Children need to inflate the inflatable balls before playing with them.

[0003] However, existing inflatable balloon toys require holding the balloon in your hand when inflating it, which is quite troublesome. Young children do not have enough grip strength to hold the balloon in place or even complete the inflation process.

[0004] Furthermore, in order to make inflatable ball toys more aesthetically pleasing and easier for young children to operate, the balloon and the air pump are often designed with separate chambers. This requires a flexible tube to connect the balloon and the air pump. When the air pump inflates the balloon, it causes the tube to move up and down, which can easily cause the tube to bend. Air cannot pass through the bend, and the bend is easily damaged, thus affecting the smoothness of inflating the balloon and also affecting the lifespan of the toy.

[0005] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0056] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0057] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application provides an inflatable toy, including a first housing 1, a ball fixing device 2, a second housing 3, a connecting hose 4, and a first elastic component 5. The first housing 1 has a first cavity and an inflatable connecting assembly 11 disposed within the first cavity. The inflatable connecting assembly 11 has an air needle 111, a locking shell 112, and a connecting nozzle 113 communicating with the air needle 111. The ball fixing device 2 has a ball cavity for accommodating a ball 6. The ball fixing device 2 is detachably connected to the first housing 1. When the ball fixing device 2 is installed in the first housing 1, the locking shell 112 and the ball fixing device 2 are locked together, and the air needle 111 is inserted into the ball 6. The second housing 3 is connected to the first housing 1 and has a second cavity communicating with the first cavity. The second housing 3 is disposed on one side of the first housing 1, and an air pump assembly 31 is disposed on the second housing 3. The air pump assembly 31 has an air outlet 311 located within the second cavity. The connecting hose 4 is partially located in the first cavity and partially in the second cavity. One end of the connecting hose 4 is connected to the air outlet 311, and the other end is connected to the connecting nozzle 113. The first elastic member 5 is connected to the connecting hose 4 and extends along the connecting hose 4.

[0058] The inflatable toy provided in this application includes a ball fixing device 2 and a first elastic component 5. The ball fixing device 2 helps the player fix the ball 6, ensuring that the ball 6 is pierced by the air needle 111 and that it is stably connected to the connector 113 after piercing. This makes inflation convenient, and even young children can inflate it. The first elastic component 5 extends along the connecting hose 4. The first elastic component 5 is elastic and difficult to bend. The hose is also less prone to bending due to the influence of the first elastic component 5. This ensures a smooth airflow for inflating the ball 6 and greatly reduces the possibility of the hose breaking due to prolonged bending. This extends the service life of the inflatable toy.

[0059] In some possible implementations, the first elastic member 5 is sleeved on the connecting hose 4, with part of the first elastic member 5 located in the first cavity and part of the first elastic member 5 located in the second cavity. The first elastic member 5 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting hose 4, which facilitates installation and provides protection to the outside of the connecting hose 4. The first elastic member 5 extends from the first cavity to the second cavity, thus having sufficient length to provide longer protection for the connecting hose 4, preventing bending of the connecting hose 4, and improving its effectiveness.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the first elastic component 5 can be a PVC strip, a coil spring, etc. Preferably, the first elastic component 5 is a coil spring, with one end of the coil spring fitted onto the connector 113. The coil spring has high strength, high elasticity, and good resilience, making it more effective in preventing the connecting hose 4 from bending. To better demonstrate the inflation process of the sphere 6, the connector 113 is often designed to be vertically positioned during use, which makes it easy for the coil spring in the vertical section to slip off. Therefore, fitting one end of the coil spring onto the connector 113 ensures that the portion of the coil spring in the vertical section is stable and does not slip off.

[0061] In some possible implementations, the extension directions of the connecting nozzle 113 and the air outlet 311 are perpendicular, and the hose has a bend transition section in the middle, through which the first elastic member 5 extends. The bend transition section is most prone to kinking, and the extension of the first elastic member 5 through the bend transition section ensures that the angle between the bend transition sections tends to expand to a larger extent, thus basically avoiding the possibility of kinking at the bend transition section.

[0062] In some possible implementations, the first housing 1 further includes a guide cylinder housing 12, which has a guide cavity and an operating port 1211 communicating with the guide cavity. The guide cylinder housing 12 is disposed within the first cavity. A locking housing 112 is slidably disposed within the guide cylinder housing 12, and an air needle 111 and a connecting nozzle 113 are disposed on the locking housing 112. A second elastic member 13 is disposed between the locking housing 112 and the guide cylinder housing 12. The ball fixing device 2 has an insert portion 21. When the insert portion 21 is inserted into the guide cavity through the operating port 1211, the insert portion 21 and the locking housing 112 are in a driving engagement. Rotating the ball fixing device 2 in the forward direction can drive the locking housing 112 to move upward, so that the air needle 111 is inserted into the ball 6, and the second elastic member 13 is in a compressed state. When rotating the ball fixing device 2 in the reverse direction, the second elastic member 13 is elastically released, which can drive the locking housing 112 to move downward, so that the air needle 111 is disengaged from the ball 6. The guide cylinder shell 12 restricts the travel trajectory of the locking shell 112, ensuring that the air needle 111 is inserted into the ball 6 after the locking shell 112 moves upward, and the locking shell 112 can be locked in place by cooperating with the insert plate part 21.

[0063] In some possible implementations, the inner wall of the locking housing 112 is provided with a circumferentially inclined rib 1121, and a latching protrusion 1122 is provided on the side of the inclined rib 1121 near its end. The insert portion 21 has an extension 211 and a card 212 and a slot 213 respectively provided on the extension 211. The card 212 is slidably engaged with the lower edge of the inclined rib 1121. When the ball fixing device 2 rotates longitudinally to its limit position, the latching protrusion 1122 engages with the slot 213. When the ball fixing device 2 is rotated, the card 212 on it slides along the inclined rib 1121, thereby driving the locking housing 112 to rise. When the ball fixing device 2 rotates longitudinally to its limit position, the latching protrusion 1122 engages with the slot 213. The combination of the inclined rib 1121 and the card 212 ensures that the locking shell 112 of the rotating ball fixing device 2 rises stably. The combination of the card 212 and the slot 213 ensures that the ball fixing device 2 remains stable when it rotates longitudinally to the limit position, and the locking shell 112 is also locked and stabilized, ensuring that the ball 6 can breathe smoothly.

[0064] In some possible implementations, the locking shell 112 has a base plate 1123 and side shells 1124 disposed around the edge of the base plate 1123. The inner wall of the side shells is provided with diagonal ribs 1121, the bottom of the base wall is provided with a connector 113, and the top is provided with an air needle 111. With this configuration, when the ball fixing device 2 is rotated, the card 212, in conjunction with the diagonal ribs 1121, drives the locking shell 112 to rise and fall. Simultaneously, the locking shell 112 drives the air needle 111 and the connector 113 to rise and fall. This not only ensures that the ball 6 is penetrated by the air needle 111 after the locking shell 112 rises, but also allows the connector 113 to smoothly inflate the ball 6. Furthermore, when the locking shell 112 descends, it causes the air needle 111 to descend into the first shell 1, protecting the player and preventing injury from the air needle 111.

[0065] In some possible implementations, an inner nozzle 1125 is provided on the base plate 1123, the inner nozzle 1125 is connected to the connecting nozzle 113, and the air needle 111 has a needle seat 1111 and a needle body 1112 connected to the needle seat 1111. The needle seat 1111 is fitted onto the inner nozzle 1125. The needle body 1112 needs to be very fine, with a transition between coarse and fine sections. The diameter of the inner nozzle 1125 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting nozzle 113. The inner nozzle 1125 matches the needle seat 1111, and the needle seat 1111 is mounted on the inner nozzle 1125.

[0066] In some possible implementations, the inflatable toy also includes a clamping member 114, which can be fitted onto the needle holder 1111 and is detachably connected to the base plate 1123 to secure the needle holder 1111. One end of the second elastic member 13 abuts against the clamping member 114, and the other end of the second elastic member 13 abuts against the guide cylinder shell 12. The clamping member 114 stably secures the air needle 111 to the locking shell 112, and will not tilt even when squeezed by the ball 6.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the guide shell 12 has a cylindrical wall 121 and a top wall 122, with the top wall 122 connected to one end of the cylindrical wall 121 and closing the port of the cylindrical wall 121. The operating port 1211 includes an arcuate groove provided on the top wall 122. A guide groove 1126 is provided on one of the inner wall of the cylindrical wall 121 and the locking shell 112, and a guide body 123 is provided on the other. The guide body 123 is slidably connected to the guide groove 1126. The guide body 123 cooperates with the guide groove 1126 to determine the travel trajectory of the locking shell 112, ensuring the accurate operation of the locking shell 112.

[0068] In some possible implementations, the inflatable toy also includes a nozzle limiting mechanism 14, which includes a limiting plate 141 and a limiting tube 142. The limiting plate 141 is connected to the outer shell of the first housing 1, and the nozzle 113 is located inside the limiting tube 142 and can slide along the limiting tube 142. The limiting plate 141 ensures a stable connection, and the limiting tube 142 restricts the lifting trajectory of the nozzle 113.
