Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting toys, and in particular to a bead squeezing sorting toy. Background Technology

[0002] Developing multiple abilities is crucial in early childhood education, and color perception is an important one. It not only allows children to visually perceive the world but is also closely related to their cognitive development. To cultivate children's keen color perception, help them understand things, explore their intelligence, and enhance their aesthetic sense, parents often choose color-sorting toys to aid in education. These toys are brightly colored and uniquely designed, easily attracting children.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent Application No. 202223513935.9, a color-sorting educational toy for beads is disclosed, including a color-sorting bag and several colored beads. The color-sorting bag includes a middle bag and several peripheral bags, with a connecting hole between the peripheral bags and the middle bag. The middle bag holds several colored beads of different colors, and the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of a single colored bead. Both the middle bag and the peripheral bags are made of transparent material. Each peripheral bag has a layer of film of a different color at its bottom, and the color of the film corresponds one-to-one with the color of the colored bead. When children use this educational toy, they complete the sorting operation by pushing each colored bead in the middle bag into the peripheral bag corresponding to its own color.

[0004] However, this kind of colored bead teaching aid has limitations. It only has the basic function of color classification and cannot provide children with more ways to use it, thus limiting children's diverse experiences and deep participation during use. Utility Model Content

[0021] The meanings of the labels in the attached diagram are as follows: 100, bead squeezing and sorting toy; 110, bag; 111, main bag section; 112, sub-bag section; 113, connecting hole; 120, bead. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The bead squeezing and sorting toy 100 provided in this embodiment includes two parts: a bag 110 and beads 120. The bag 110 includes a main bag section 111 and a sub-bag section 112, and a connecting hole 113 is provided between the main bag section 111 and the sub-bag section 112. Multiple beads 120 are placed in the internal space of the bag 110.

[0025] The innovation of this toy lies in its unique structural design, which uses elastic beads 120 to create a novel squeezing and sorting gameplay by squeezing them against the connecting holes 113. This design differs from traditional simple sorting toys, allowing children to gain more fun and challenge through hands-on operation.

[0026] Specifically, the bag 110 is made of transparent material. Among the multiple beads 120, at least two beads 120 are different colors. Simultaneously, the color of each compartment 112 corresponds to the color of one of the beads 120. This transparent bag 110 design allows children to clearly observe the movement of the beads 120 inside the bag 110; the color-matching design helps children complete the sorting of the beads 120, effectively improving their color recognition ability in the process.

[0027] Of particular note is that in the bead squeezing and sorting toy 100 of this application, the beads 120 are elastic, and the circumference of the outer surface of the beads 120 is greater than or equal to the circumference of the inner surface of the connecting hole 113. This carefully designed structure requires children to perform specific squeezing operations, utilize hand muscle strength, and precisely control fine motor movements when attempting to squeeze the beads 120 from the main bag 111 through the connecting hole 113 to the sorting bag 112. This process not only exercises children's hand muscle strength and fine motor control but also stimulates their desire to explore and their problem-solving abilities.

[0028] In terms of shape design, such as Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the bead 120 is spherical, while the connecting hole 113 is designed as an elliptical hole. When a child pushes the bead 120 through the connecting hole 113, due to the difference between the major and minor axes of the elliptical connecting hole 113, the spherical bead 120 interacts with the elliptical connecting hole 113, generating a stronger squeezing sensation and providing a unique play experience for the child.

[0029] From a geometric perspective, the "circumference of the outer surface of bead 120" refers to the length of the closed curve measured around the outer surface of bead 120 when it is at rest and not deformed by external forces. Specifically, for a standard spherical bead 120, its circumference can be determined using the formula for the circumference of a circle, C = πd (where d is the diameter of the sphere). The "circumference of the inner surface of the connecting hole 113" refers to the length of the closed curve formed around the inner edge of the connecting hole 113. Specifically, if the connecting hole 113 is elliptical, assuming the major semi-axis is a and the minor semi-axis is b, it can be calculated using relevant formulas for the circumference of an ellipse (such as Ramanujan's formula or other approximate formulas).

[0030] From a design perspective, when the circumference of the outer surface of bead 120 is at a critical point equal to the circumference of the inner surface of the connecting hole 113, bead 120 can fit snugly into the connecting hole 113. This requires bead 120 to smoothly pass from the main pocket 111 to the sub-pocket 112 at the moment of entry through a clever angle adjustment and just the right amount of external force. When the circumference of the outer surface of bead 120 is greater than the circumference of the inner surface of the connecting hole 113, a unique mechanical relationship is formed, making it difficult for bead 120 to pass through the connecting hole 113 easily; a certain amount of external force must be applied to allow it to pass. In actual operation, children need to concentrate and use their hand strength to squeeze and deform bead 120. Due to its elastic properties, bead 120 changes shape when squeezed to fit the narrow space of the connecting hole 113. This squeezing process provides children with a direct and strong tactile feedback, allowing them to clearly feel the interaction between hand strength and the elasticity of bead 120. At the same time, each transfer operation of the beads 120 from the main pocket 111 to the sub-pocket 112 is challenging, greatly enhancing the fun and focus during play and enriching children's sensory experience.

[0031] Bead 120 is made of ultra-soft rubber, which feels soft and smooth to the touch, providing a gentle and comfortable feel when in contact with a child's small hands. When Bead 120 is squeezed, its soft texture deforms in the hand, as if interacting with the child's hand, further stimulating the child's desire to explore.

[0032] This educational sensory toy is specifically designed for children aged 2-5 to help them learn to count and recognize numbers, while improving their color recognition skills during play. Through this matching game, children not only enhance their color recognition abilities but also develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. It allows children to focus intently on sorting and matching colors, enabling them to concentrate quietly for hours. Therefore, this toy is an ideal tool for preschool teachers in their teaching activities.

[0033] These sensory soft toys are filled with gel, and the 120 colored beads are made of ultra-soft rubber, providing toddlers with a superior sensory experience. When children are emotionally agitated, pushing the colored beads provides a calming, tactile feedback experience, helping them regain control of their emotions. It is particularly noteworthy that this sensory product is especially meaningful for children with autism and ADHD, as it has a calming effect, promoting improved concentration and relaxation. Therefore, it is an ideal toy to place in preschool classrooms to help calm the emotions of children with autism.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, the bead squeezing and sorting toy 100 of this application adopts a compact structural design in this embodiment. By cleverly optimizing the layout of each part, its small size and portability are achieved without affecting the toy's functionality and fun. Both boys and girls can easily bring this quiet sensory toy to the school classroom or play with friends outdoors. During car road trips or airplane flights, it ensures children remain engaged and entertained, preventing boredom during their journeys.

[0036] In optional embodiments, the diameter of the bead 120 is designed to be between 10mm and 14mm, for example, 12mm or 13mm; the width of the connecting hole 113 is designed to be between 20mm and 24mm, for example, 21mm, 22mm, or 23mm. In one embodiment, the main bag portion 111 is circular, with a diameter between 70mm and 74mm, for example, 71mm, 72mm, or 73mm. Furthermore, the wall thickness of the bag 110 is controlled to be between 3mm and 5mm, for example, 4mm.

[0037] The carefully considered dimensions—bead diameter 120, connecting hole width 113, main pocket diameter 111, and bag wall thickness 110—ensure that the bead 120 is squeezed with moderate difficulty. This design prevents the bead from becoming too easy for children, thus losing its challenge, while also avoiding excessive difficulty that could lead to frustration. The circular main pocket 111 is easy for children to hold and manipulate; the appropriate bag wall thickness 110 ensures sufficient strength to withstand squeezing and other actions during play, while also providing a degree of flexibility for a stable and comfortable play experience.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Based on Example 1, in this example, the internal space of bag 110 is filled with a gel material, specifically hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a compound belonging to nonionic cellulose mixed ethers. It is a semi-synthetic, inactive, viscoelastic polymer.

[0040] Filling the bag 110 with gel material is an innovative design. This design not only changes the movement environment of the beads 120 inside the bag 110, bringing children a brand-new play experience, but also solves the problem of stiff and unchanging movement of the beads 120 in traditional toys.

[0041] The filling of this gel material has multiple advantages. On the one hand, it allows the beads 120 to move more freely and flexibly within the bag 110, providing children with a novel and interesting play experience. On the other hand, when the beads 120 are squeezed quickly, the gel material acts as a good buffer, providing children with a more effective squeezing experience, further enhancing the toy's fun and appeal. When squeezed, the beads 120 weave through the gel, creating a unique change in resistance, quite different from the feeling of squeezing beads 120 in a typical water-based liquid. Children can feel as if the beads 120 are struggling forward in a thick liquid; each squeeze is accompanied by the flow of gel and its envelopment of the beads 120. This novel tactile sensation greatly enriches the fun of the game.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the internal space of the main bag portion 111 is significantly larger than the internal space of each sub-bag portion 112. At the same time, two or more sub-bag portions 112 are arranged sequentially around the edge of the main bag portion 111.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 This unique layout design mimics the appearance of a flower, combining educational toys with aesthetic design to create a visually appealing and symmetrical effect that greatly attracts children's attention. Furthermore, the multiple compartments 112 provide children with various sorting objectives. During the sorting of the beads 120, children need to constantly adjust the direction and force of squeezing the beads, effectively developing their spatial planning and hand-eye coordination skills, adding a new dimension to the game. The multiple compartments 112 create a multi-objective gameplay experience, greatly expanding the game's possibilities and educational value. It also facilitates multi-player competitions, allowing multiple children to participate simultaneously. Through competition, the game's interactivity and sociality are enhanced, enabling children to better communicate and cooperate with others during play.

[0045] Example 5

[0046] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 4, in this embodiment, the main bag 111 and the sub-bag 112 adopt a sealed, one-piece molded structure, which ensures the safety and durability of the toy. This design effectively prevents potential gel leakage and bead 120 falling off, providing children with a safe and reliable play environment while also extending the toy's lifespan.

[0047] Furthermore, the bag 110 is made of PVC material. PVC material has good flexibility, ensuring that the bag 110 is not easily torn when squeezed by a child, while also providing a comfortable tactile experience. Its abrasion resistance makes the toy less prone to damage during long-term use, extending its lifespan. Its high transparency retains the advantage of the bag 110's transparency, allowing children to clearly observe the movement of the beads 120 inside the bag 110, ensuring both the toy's user experience and safety. When squeezed, the PVC bag 110 conforms well to the child's hand movements, deforming appropriately as the beads 120 are squeezed and deformed, providing just the right tactile feedback—neither too stiff nor too weak for the child's hand.

[0048] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
