Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balloon toy technology, specifically to an induction-type popping balloon toy. Background Technology
[0002] A balloon is an inflatable air bladder made of elastic material. Balloon popping toys usually consist of a simple support and a structure to hold the balloon in place. Players use toothpicks or needles to puncture the exposed part of the balloon. The game is mainly played by one person or in turns. The structure is mostly open, with the balloon directly fixed to a plastic base or rope net. The popping action is completed through physical contact. The operation is simple and direct, but the form of interaction is limited.
[0003] In the prior art, a toy for popping balloons disclosed in patent publication number "CN202715240U" includes a bracket for fixing the balloon and at least one insert for popping the balloon; the bracket has a receiving part for holding the balloon, and the insert has a popping end for extending into the receiving part of the bracket to pop the balloon. This utility model, by adopting the above structure, not only provides a completely new way to play with balloons, but also allows users to customize game rules to form a balloon popping competition, which is highly fun, competitive, and exciting.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings. Traditional balloon popping games typically involve directly exposing and fixing the balloon to the outside, lacking a sealed cavity and air pressure sensing system. They rely solely on physical puncture to trigger the burst, making it impossible to achieve automated multi-sensory feedback such as sound, light, and spray. The interactive experience is monotonous, and the open structure makes the direction of the balloon burst uncontrollable, posing a risk of flying fragments or accidental injury, resulting in insufficient safety. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an induction-activated balloon popping toy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an induction-type popping balloon toy, comprising a base, a bottom shell and a lid respectively provided on the top surface of the base, the bottom shell being located between the lid and the base, the lid having a storage cavity inside, and the top surface of the lid having an array of through-holes, the base having a pressure sensor installed inside, a spray head installed near the side of the pressure sensor, a lamp tube arrangement slot opened on the top surface of the bottom shell, and a conductive device and a sound-emitting device respectively installed inside the base.
[0007] As can be seen, the above technical solution utilizes the blind-balloon turn-based gameplay combined with the unpredictability of random balloon placement to create a tense and exciting experience, greatly enhancing the fun of social interaction. The integrated air pressure sensor, together with sound, light and spray, can accurately capture the pressure changes at the moment of explosion, automatically and synchronously activating the lights, spray devices and fun sound effects, transforming simple physical actions into immersive multi-sensory entertainment.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom shell engages with the top surface of the base, and the opening on the bottom surface of the lid matches the surface of the bottom shell.
[0009] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the bottom shell is used to close the opening on the top surface of the base, and the lid is snapped onto the surface of the bottom shell from top to bottom to form an independent storage cavity.
[0010] Preferably, a ball needle is embedded in the slit, and the end of the ball needle is a pointed tip, and the end of the ball needle after insertion is close to the top surface of the bottom shell.
[0011] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the needle can be inserted into the puncture. If the tip of the needle comes into contact with the balloon, the balloon can explode. Similarly, if the needle is inserted but does not come into contact with the balloon, the balloon will not change.
[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the bottom shell has a sensor mounting port, and the sensing end of the air pressure sensor is located inside the mounting port, and the sensing end of the air pressure sensor extends into the storage cavity.
[0013] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the sensing end of the air pressure sensor is in the same space as the balloon, which can more accurately detect whether the balloon has exploded.
[0014] Preferably, the conductive device, the sound-generating device, the air pressure sensor, and the spray head are all located between the bottom shell and the base, and the sound-generating device, the air pressure sensor, the lamp hose in the lamp tube arrangement slot, and the spray head are all connected to the conductive device circuit.
[0015] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the conductive device includes, but is not limited to, a power module, a circuit board, and conductive contacts, which provide circuit connections for the LED hose, spray head, and sound-generating device, forming a complete sound and light triggering system.
[0016] Preferably, the lamp tube arrangement slots are staggered and interconnected, and the spray head is located at the opening on the side of the bottom shell and the base.
[0017] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the flexible lamp tube can be arranged in the lamp tube arrangement groove to form the required shape as needed.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] The box lid opens and closes on the base, creating a sealed storage cavity between the bottom shell and the lid. Utilizing a blind-popping, turn-based gameplay combined with the unpredictable random placement of balloons, it creates a tense and exciting experience, significantly enhancing social interaction and fun. An integrated pressure sensor, along with sound, light, and spray, accurately captures pressure changes at the moment of explosion, automatically activating the lights, spray device, and fun sound effects. This transforms simple physical actions into immersive multi-sensory entertainment. The staggered LED light tube slots support customizable light path shapes, ensuring circuit stability while maintaining both safety and visual appeal. The enclosed structure completely eliminates the potential dangers of traditional balloon popping games. The overall structure enhances entertainment while achieving intelligent interaction with zero manual judgment. Attached Figure Description

[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 described embodiments 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] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] Example 1: An induction-activated balloon toy: It includes a base 1, with a bottom shell 2 and a lid 4 on the top surface of the base 1. The bottom shell 2 engages with the top surface of the base 1, and the opening on the bottom surface of the lid 4 matches the surface of the bottom shell 2. The bottom shell 2 is located between the lid 4 and the base 1. The lid 4 has a storage cavity 7 inside. A series of through-holes 6 are arranged on the top surface of the lid 4, with a ball needle 5 embedded within each through-hole. The end of the ball needle 5 is a pointed tip, and the end of the inserted ball needle 5 is close to the top surface of the bottom shell 2. The overall shape of the toy's outer shell is rectangular. The toy's outer shell is composed of the base 1, the bottom shell 2, and the lid 4. The bottom shell 2 is located on the top surface of the base 1 and is used to seal the base 1. The cavity between the base 1 and the bottom shell 2 is used to install the electronic components required for the toy. The lid 4 is placed on the base 1 from top to bottom, thus forming a sealed storage cavity 7 inside the lid 4. The inner wall of the lid 4 includes an engaging and sealing structure to facilitate opening and closing the lid. Placed on the base, the storage cavity 7 can hold balloons. When playing, users need to open the lid 4 first, place the balloons randomly on the bottom shell 2, and put the lid 4 back in so that the balloons are in the storage cavity 7. Players can prepare balloon needles 5 in advance. Two players can take turns stabbing the balloons with the needles 5 through the holes 6 on the lid 4. The game is round-based, and the winner is determined when the balloon is popped. The uncertainty of the random placement of the balloons, combined with the blind stabbing operation, significantly increases the tension and excitement of the game. Each round may instantly reverse the outcome due to luck or difference in feel. The round-based rules naturally create competitive interaction, forcing players to weigh risk and cautious strategies in psychological game, enhancing the social fun. The blind stabbing method, combined with lights, sprays, and sounds, can provide strong instant feedback, transforming simple physical actions into a multi-sensory immersive experience. It is especially suitable for social occasions such as parties and parent-child activities, which can release stress while avoiding the danger of real popping.
[0030] A pressure sensor 10 is installed inside the base 1. A spray head 11 is installed near the side of the pressure sensor 10. The spray head 11 is located at the opening on the side of the bottom shell 2 and the base. A lamp tube arrangement slot 3 is provided on the top surface of the bottom shell 2. The lamp tube arrangement slots 3 are interconnected and staggered. A conductive device 8 and a sound-emitting device 9 are installed inside the base 1. The conductive device 8, the sound-emitting device 9, the pressure sensor 10, and the spray head 11 are all located between the bottom shell 2 and the base. The sound-emitting device 9, the pressure sensor 10, the flexible lamp tube in the lamp tube arrangement slot 3, and the spray head 11 are all connected to the conductive device 8. It should be noted that the bottom shell 2 includes a lamp tube arrangement slot. The slot 3 is interconnected and can accommodate an LED flexible tube, which is then fitted into the slot 3 to form different shapes such as rectangles and triangles. It can flash or emit light according to the set requirements and is connected to the conductive device 8 at the center of the base 1. The conductive device 8 is also connected to the spray head 11 and the generating device. The conductive device 8 includes, but is not limited to, a power module, a circuit board and conductive contacts, and provides circuit connection for the LED flexible tube, the spray head 11 and the sound generating device 9, forming a complete sound and light triggering system. The spray head 11 is exposed from the openings on both sides of the bottom shell 2 and fixed to the base 1.
[0031] The top surface of the bottom shell 2 has a sensor mounting port 12, and the sensing end of the air pressure sensor 10 is located inside the mounting port. The sensing end of the air pressure sensor 10 extends into the storage cavity 7. The air pressure sensor 10 is also fixed to the base 1, located on both sides of the conductive device 8, and is also connected to the circuit of the conductive device 8. The sensing end of the air pressure sensor 10 is embedded in the sensor mounting port 12 on the top surface of the bottom shell 2, located in the storage cavity 7. After the balloon is punctured by the balloon-puncturing needle 5, the gas and air pressure generated by the balloon bursting will trigger the air pressure sensor 10, which in turn triggers the spray devices on both sides and the sound and light. After the air pressure sensor 10 detects the instantaneous pressure change when the balloon bursts, it activates the LED light through the circuit. The light, such as flashing or gradient effects, activates the sound device 9 to play preset sound effects and links the spray device to control the spray duration via a solenoid valve. The air pressure sensor 10 detects instantaneous changes in air pressure within the sealed cavity. The air pressure fluctuations generated when the balloon bursts trigger the circuit response. Using pressure-sensitive elements such as MEMS sensors, the air pressure signal is converted into an electrical signal. When the pressure exceeds a preset threshold, the linkage device is immediately activated. The air pressure sensor 10 achieves precise synchronous triggering of the toy's explosion effect and the sound and light spray, eliminating the need for manual operation by the player. Automatic recognition of real explosions ensures the fairness of the game's judgment. By linking multi-sensory feedback such as flashing lights, sound effects, and spray components, the interactive fun is greatly enhanced.
[0032] Working Principle: The toy's outer shell is rectangular in shape, consisting of a base 1, a bottom shell 2, and a lid 4. The bottom shell 2 is located on top of the base 1 and seals it. The cavity between the base 1 and the bottom shell 2 is used to house the electronic components required by the toy. The lid 4 is placed on the base 1 from top to bottom, forming a sealed storage cavity 7 inside the lid 4. Balloons can be placed inside the storage cavity 7. When playing, the user first opens the lid 4, randomly places the balloon on the bottom shell 2, and then puts the lid 4 back in, placing the balloon inside the storage cavity 7. Players can prepare balloon needles 5 in advance. Two players can take turns stabbing the balloons 5 into the holes 6 on the lid 4. The game continues until the balloons pop, determining the winner. The random placement of the balloons, combined with the blind stabbing action, significantly enhances the tension and excitement of the game. Each round... The outcome of a game can be reversed in an instant due to luck or a difference in feel. The turn-based rules naturally create competitive interaction, forcing players to weigh risk and cautious strategies in psychological games, enhancing the social fun. The blind-popping method, combined with lights, sprays, and sounds, provides strong instant feedback, transforming simple physical actions into a multi-sensory immersive experience. It is especially suitable for social occasions such as parties and parent-child activities, which can release stress while avoiding the danger of real explosions. The gas and air pressure generated by the balloon bursting will trigger the air pressure sensor 10, which in turn triggers the spray devices on both sides and the sound and light. After the air pressure sensor 10 detects the instantaneous pressure change when the balloon bursts, it activates the LED lights, such as flashing or gradient effects, activates the sound device 9 to play preset sound effects, and links the spray devices to control the spray duration through the solenoid valve. The air pressure sensor 10 detects the instantaneous change in air pressure in the sealed cavity.
