[0027] 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 embodiments described below 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.

[0028] To provide a clearer explanation and description of the technical solution and implementation method of this utility model, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of this utility model are introduced below.

[0029] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "inner" and "outer", "front" and "back" and "left" and "right" in this article are based on the product's usage status. Obviously, the use of these directional terms does not limit the scope of protection of this solution.

[0030] The present invention provides a component connection structure for metal model kits, which is used for sliding expansion or closure between two component units. This component connection structure includes two adjacent component units, each component unit being formed by a first sheet and a second sheet that are oppositely arranged and fixed together. The first sheet and the second sheet have the same shape.

[0031] The first sheet has multiple bendable connecting tabs, and the second sheet has multiple insertion holes, with each insertion hole corresponding to one of the connecting tabs. A film is sandwiched between the first and second sheets. The bendable connecting tabs are bent vertically, pass through the film and insertion holes, and then bend again to adhere to the outer surface of the second sheet, thus fixing the first and second sheets and clamping the film securely. By using bendable connecting tabs and insertion holes, the assembly of the component connection structure requires no special tools; it can be completed simply by bending, making operation convenient and providing a good user experience.

[0032] Using the component connection structure of the above-mentioned metal assembly model, this application also provides a metal assembly process folding fan.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the metal assembly folding fan provided by this utility model includes multiple fan blade units 100 and a fan-shaped film 200. The lower ends of the multiple fan blade units 100 are hinged by a pivot 300. Each fan blade unit 100 is provided with a hollowed-out pattern, forming an exquisite fan surface pattern when the folding fan is unfolded. The fan-shaped film 200 can be a transparent, semi-transparent, or opaque film, such as a plastic film or silk fabric.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the fan-shaped unit 100 is formed by fixing a first sheet 110 and a second sheet 120 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first sheet 110 and the second sheet 120 have the same shape.

[0035] The first sheet 110 is divided into a first fan-shaped connecting part 111 and a first fan-shaped handle part 112 along its length. The width of the root of the first fan-shaped connecting part 111 is smaller than the width of the top of the first fan-shaped handle part 112. Multiple bendable connecting pieces 113 are provided on both sides of the first fan-shaped connecting part 111.

[0036] The second sheet 120 is divided into a second fan-shaped connecting part 121 and a second fan-shaped handle part 122 along its length. The width of the root of the second fan-shaped connecting part 121 is smaller than the width of the top of the second fan-shaped handle part 122. Multiple insertion holes 123 are provided on both sides of the second fan-shaped connecting part 121, and the insertion holes 123 are corresponding to the connecting piece 113.

[0037] The fan-shaped film 200 is sandwiched between the first fan-shaped connecting portion 111 and the second fan-shaped connecting portion 121. Specifically, after the bendable connecting piece 113 is bent vertically, it passes through the fan-shaped film 200 and the insertion hole 123, and is bent again and attached to the outer side of the second fan-shaped connecting portion 121, thereby fixing the first fan-shaped connecting portion 111 and the second fan-shaped connecting portion 121, and clamping and fixing the fan-shaped film 200.

[0038] After connecting all the fan blade units in the same way, the metal folding fan is assembled, allowing the fan surface to be fully opened or closed. Assembly requires no special tools; it can be completed simply by bending, making it easy to operate and providing a good user experience.

[0039] This invention also includes a clip film 130 between the first fan-shaped handle portion 112 and the second fan-shaped handle portion 122. The clip film 130 has the same thickness as the fan-shaped film 200 and can be made of the same material. The clip film 130 can be fixed by the clamping force of the bendable connecting piece 113 or by adhesive bonding. Using the clip film 130, the first sheet 110 and the second sheet 120 are tightly fitted together, allowing for smooth opening and closing.

[0040] In addition, in this utility model, the root width of the first fan-shaped connecting part 111 is smaller than the top width of the first fan handle part 112, and the root width of the second fan-shaped connecting part 121 is smaller than the top width of the second fan handle part 122. The fan handle parts of adjacent fan blade units 100 overlap sequentially, which has strong strength. The adjacent fan-shaped connecting parts are connected by a fan-shaped film 200, which satisfies the folding function and has a simple structure.

[0041] In this application, the folding fan adopts a modular structure design, and the whole is assembled from sheets. Multiple first sheets and / or multiple second sheets are respectively formed on one or more sheet substrates. The first sheets and / or second sheets are connected by multiple triangular contact points on the side. The first sheets and second sheets can be disassembled by cutting the contact points, and then reassembled.

[0042] Based on the above description of specific embodiments, the component connection structure and metal assembly process of the folding fan for metal assembly model toys provided by this utility model have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0043] First, each component unit consists of a first sheet and a second sheet fixed opposite to each other. The first sheet has multiple bendable connecting tabs, and the second sheet has multiple insertion holes. A film is sandwiched between the first and second sheets. The first and second sheets are fixed by bending the connecting tabs, and the film is clamped securely. Players can assemble it themselves; no special tools are needed, and it can be completed simply by bending, making it convenient and providing a good user experience.

[0044] Secondly, a thin film is provided between the first and second fan handles, so that the first and second sheets are tightly bonded together, and the folding fan opens and closes smoothly.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
