Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of toy eyeball structures, specifically relating to a rotatable three-sided eyeball suitable for toys. Background Technology

[0002] China's trendy toy industry is transitioning from its early development stage to maturity, with the market size increasing significantly and its popularity growing. As the trendy toy fan base expands, the Chinese trendy toy retail market is also growing rapidly, providing space for the development and innovation of the trendy toy structure.

[0003] To keep pace with development trends and public aesthetics, most existing toys, whether plush or plastic, feature human-shaped figures, especially in the eyes, where the pupils can move, creating a more dynamic visual effect. However, current toys typically only have two different pupils that can be switched by rotation, which limits some toy designs. Furthermore, to improve the effect of the eyes, most require injecting flowing liquid inside, which is complex to implement and install. Therefore, a new solution is urgently needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a rotatable three-sided eyeball suitable for toys. In practical applications, the three-sided design enhances playability and ease of use. Furthermore, the through-hole design eliminates the need to inject flowing liquid into all three compartments during the manufacturing process, simplifying the operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rotatable three-sided eyeball suitable for toys includes a sphere and a rotating shaft mounted at both ends of the sphere. The surface of the sphere includes three mounting surfaces connected in sequence. Each mounting surface has a receiving space. A transparent cover is provided over the receiving space. A through hole is provided at the connection of the three receiving spaces. The three receiving spaces are connected through the through hole to form a flow space. A flowing liquid is disposed in the flow space.

[0007] As an improvement to the rotatable three-sided eyeball applicable to toys described in this application, the flowing liquid is a quicksand oil.

[0008] As an improvement to the rotatable three-sided eyeball applicable to toys described in this application, the receiving space is conical in shape, the receiving space has a vertex portion facing the center of the sphere, and the through hole is disposed at the vertex portion.

[0009] As an improvement to the rotatable three-sided eyeball applicable to toys described in this application, the inner wall of the receiving space is covered with a decorative layer, and the transparent cover is configured as a hollow transparent cover body.

[0010] As an improvement to the rotatable three-sided eyeball applicable to toys described in this application, a groove is provided in the receiving space, and the transparent cover is snapped into the receiving space through the groove.

[0011] As an improvement to the rotatable three-sided eyeball applicable to toys described in this application, a decorative object is placed in the receiving space, the diameter of the decorative object being larger than the diameter of the through hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0013] 1. Each of the aforementioned receiving spaces and the transparent cover forms an eyeball. By designing different colors or placing different decorations in the receiving spaces, it is possible to have three different eyeballs on one eyeball. In actual use, the eyeball is installed on the face, and the eyeballs can be changed by rotation, which increases the playability and aesthetics of using the toy of this application.

[0014] Second, the through-hole design of this application can form a connected flow space between the three containing spaces, so that during the manufacturing process, it is not necessary to inject flowing liquid into all three containing spaces. It is sufficient to inject it into one or two containing spaces, which can still achieve the effect of flowing liquid in each eyeball. This simplifies the manufacturing process and also increases the space for the flowing liquid to move, thus increasing its flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0023] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail with reference to specific implementation methods, but this is not intended to limit the present application.

[0025] Implementation

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotatable three-sided eyeball suitable for toys includes a sphere 1 and a rotating shaft 2 installed at both ends of the sphere 1. The surface of the sphere 1 includes three mounting surfaces 3 connected in sequence. Each mounting surface 3 has a receiving space 4. A groove 43 is provided in the receiving space 4. A transparent cover 5 is snapped into the receiving space 4 through the groove 43. The inner wall of the receiving space 4 is covered with a decorative layer 42. A decorative object is placed in the receiving space 4. The transparent cover 5 is a hollow transparent cover.

[0027] In this design, a receiving space 4 and a transparent cover 5 combine to form an eyeball. By changing the color of the decorative layer 42 or placing different decorative objects in the receiving space 4, three eyeballs with different visual effects can be formed. It is understood that the decorative objects and decorative layer 42 can be modified according to actual needs. The shape in decorative layer 2 in the attached figure is not a limitation but only for identification purposes. In practical applications, the eyeball is installed on the face, and the appearance of the eyeball can be changed by rotating it, thereby increasing the playability and aesthetics of the eyeball toy.

[0028] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a through hole 6 is provided at the connection of the three containing spaces 4. The three containing spaces 4 are connected through the through hole 6 to form a flow space. A flowing liquid is provided in the flow space. In this embodiment, the flowing liquid is flowing sand oil. Different flowing liquids can also be placed according to the actual visual effect required.

[0029] Specifically, the shape of the receiving space 4 is conical, and the receiving space 4 has a vertex portion facing the center of the sphere 1, with a through hole 6 provided at the vertex portion.

[0030] During the eyeball fabrication process, the flow space design eliminates the need to inject flowing liquid into all three containment spaces 4. Instead, flowing liquid can be injected into only one or two containment spaces 4. Relying on the fluidity of the liquid, the finished product can achieve the same effect of flowing liquid in each containment space 4, and the flow range of the flowing liquid is increased, thus improving flexibility.

[0031] The diameter of the decorative object is larger than the diameter of the through hole 6 to prevent the decorative objects in different receiving spaces 7 from flowing to different receiving spaces 7 with the flowing liquid, thus avoiding changes to the visual effect set by the eyeball. At the same time, it can prevent the through hole 6 from being blocked to a certain extent. It is understood that the decorative objects are usually light objects such as sequins, which will move with the flow of the liquid and will not affect the function of the through hole 6.

[0032] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any obvious improvements, substitutions, or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this application.
