Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of comprehensive training equipment, and in particular relates to a novel crawling channel. Background Technology
[0002] Crawling training is an essential part of a child's growth. Through crawling, a child's limbs can be exercised, and the brain's balance and coordination abilities can be further developed. Crawling tunnels are children's toys developed specifically for crawling training.
[0003] Currently, existing crawling tunnels typically consist of a spiral cylindrical steel wire frame and a soft fabric. To provide good support, the spiral cylindrical steel wire frame is densely distributed. However, existing crawling tunnels have the following drawbacks during use: because the entire steel wire frame is relatively thick and rigid, and the fabric is relatively thin, when young children crawl inside the tunnel, their palms and knees frequently touch the spiral cylindrical steel wire frame and the ground. Furthermore, the spirally distributed steel wire frame is prone to disintegration and collapse, causing the steel wires to frequently puncture the fabric and become exposed, which can easily injure children or pets, resulting in low safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of crawling tunnel to solve the technical problems of existing crawling tunnels being too thin, causing hands and knees to frequently touch the spiral cylindrical steel wire frame and the ground during use, and the spirally distributed steel wire frame being prone to falling apart and collapsing, resulting in the steel wires frequently piercing the fabric and being exposed, which could easily injure children or pets, thus resulting in low safety.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel crawling channel.
[0006] It includes a channel body, which is surrounded by several air columns, and a first air passage is provided between adjacent air columns to communicate with each other.
[0007] An air ring is provided at both ends of the channel body, and a second air passage is provided between the air ring and the air column for mutual air communication.
[0008] An inflation nozzle is provided on the air column to inflate the channel body.
[0009] Furthermore, a first gas-containing cavity is formed within the air column, and a second gas-containing cavity is formed within the air ring. Adjacent first gas-containing cavities are connected by a first air passage, and the first and second gas-containing cavities are connected by a second air passage. The inflation nozzle extends into the first gas-containing cavity to inflate or deflate the channel body.
[0010] Furthermore, the air rings on both sides and any one of the air columns are connected by a second air passage.
[0011] Furthermore, each side of an adjacent air column is provided with a first air passage that is connected to it, and the first air passage is located on the side closer to the air ring.
[0012] Furthermore, the air column is cylindrical, and several air columns surround a cylindrical channel body, with a circular opening formed therebetween for children or pets to crawl through.
[0013] Furthermore, the air column protrudes from the inner and outer surfaces of the channel body.
[0014] Furthermore, the air column and the air ring form an interconnected air cavity, which is a sealed space and connected to the outside world through an air inlet.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The channel body of this utility model is composed of several air columns, and air rings connected to the air columns are set at both ends of the channel body. In use, the channel body and air rings can be unfolded by supplying air to the inside of the air columns, revealing a circular opening for children or pets to crawl through. The original steel wire frame and fabric have been removed, and the new air cushion structure increases the stability and safety of the channel body; specifically, when a young child crawls into the crawling channel on the air columns, the child's palms and knees are protected. The child's hands, knees, and lower legs come into direct contact with the air column. Because the air column is soft, has a certain thickness, and provides good cushioning, it effectively prevents the child's palms, knees, and lower legs from directly contacting the ground, thus avoiding injury. This greatly improves safety and solves the technical problems of existing crawling tunnels, which are thin and where the hands and knees frequently come into contact with the spiral cylindrical steel wire frame and the ground. Furthermore, the spiral steel wire frame is prone to disintegration and collapse, causing the steel wires to frequently puncture the fabric and expose themselves, potentially injuring children or pets, resulting in low safety.

[0030] like Figure 1-7 As shown: A novel crawling channel.
[0031] It includes a channel body 1, which is surrounded by several air columns 2, and a first air passage 3 that is interconnected between adjacent air columns 2.
[0032] Air ring 4 is set at both ends of the channel body 1, and a second air passage 5 is provided between the air ring 4 and the air column 2 for mutual air communication.
[0033] An air inlet 6 is installed on the air column 2 to inflate the channel body 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the channel body 1 and the air ring 4 are integrally formed. The inflation nozzle 6 is a one-way valve and is set on one of the air columns 2. When air is pumped into the air column 2 through the inflation nozzle 6, the gas will enter the other air columns 2 and the air rings 4 on both sides through the air column 2 and the first air passage 3 and the second air passage 5 respectively. When there is a certain amount of gas in the channel body 1, the channel body 1 formed by the air columns 2 will unfold to expose the channel, and the air rings 4 on both sides will also unfold to support the channel body 1 between the two, so as to achieve the effect of shaping.
[0035] like Figure 4-7 As shown: A first gas-containing cavity 102 is formed inside the air column 2, and a second gas-containing cavity 103 is formed inside the air ring 4. Adjacent first gas-containing cavities 102 are connected by a first air passage 3, and the first gas-containing cavity 102 and the second gas-containing cavity 103 are connected by a second air passage 5. An inflation nozzle 6 extends into the first gas-containing cavity 102 to inflate or deflate the channel body 1. In this embodiment, gas enters from the inflation nozzle 6, then passes through the first gas-containing cavity 102 connected to the inflation nozzle 6, and then the first gas-containing cavity 102 transports the gas to the first gas-containing cavity 102 of the adjacent air column 2 through the first air passages 3 on the left and right sides. At the same time, the gas is transported to the second gas-containing cavity 103 through the second air passages 5 on the upper and lower sides. In this way, all air columns 2 and air rings 4 can be filled with gas through one inflation nozzle 6.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown: the two air rings 4 on both sides and any one of the air columns 2 are connected by a second air channel 5. In this embodiment, by setting a second air channel 5 between each air column 2 and the air ring 4, the block can be inflated or deflated, making it quicker and more convenient to unfold or store.
[0037] like Figure 3-7 As shown: Both sides of the adjacent air column 2 are provided with a first air channel 3 that is connected, and the first air channel 3 is located on the side closer to the air ring 4. In this embodiment, the first air channel 3 is set on the side closer to the air ring 4 to increase its concealment.
[0038] like Figure 1-2 As shown: the air column 2 is cylindrical, and several air columns 2 surround the cylindrical channel body 1, and a circular opening 101 is formed therein for children or pets to crawl through.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown: the air column 2 protrudes from the inner and outer surfaces of the channel body 1. In this embodiment, the surface of the air column 2 protruding from the channel body 1 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped structure design can appropriately increase the difficulty of crawling training and improve the adaptability and responsiveness of young children in different environments. In addition, the child's palms, knees and calves are in direct contact with the air column 2. The protruding part can effectively prevent the child from slipping while crawling, thereby avoiding slipping and falling and getting injured. At the same time, the protruding part can also effectively massage the child's palms, knees and calves, promoting the child's blood circulation.
[0040] like Figure 7 As shown: the air column 2 and the air ring 4 form an interconnected air cavity. The air column 2 and the air ring 4 form a sealed space and are connected to the outside through the air inlet 6. This embodiment increases the sealing performance of the product.
[0041] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0042] The channel body 1 of this utility model is composed of several air columns 2, and air rings connected to the air columns 2 are set at both ends of the channel body 1. When in use, the channel body 1 and air rings 4 can be unfolded by supplying air to the inside of the air columns 2, revealing a circular opening 101 for children or pets to crawl through. The original steel wire frame and fabric have been removed, and a brand-new air cushion structure has been adopted to increase the stability and safety of the channel body 1. Specifically, when a child crawls into the crawling channel 1 and crawls on the air columns 2, the child's palms, knees and calves are in direct contact with the air columns. Because the air-filled column 2 is relatively soft, has a certain thickness, and has a good cushioning effect, it can effectively prevent young children's palms, knees, and calves from directly contacting the ground, thus preventing injury to the children's bodies. This greatly improves the safety of use and solves the technical problems of existing crawling tunnels being too thin, where palms and knees frequently touch the spiral cylindrical steel wire frame and the ground during use, and the spirally distributed steel wire frame being prone to falling apart and collapsing, causing the steel wires to frequently puncture the fabric and expose themselves, which could easily injure children or pets, resulting in low safety.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
