Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to toys, specifically to a non-magnetic, reusable water ball. Background Technology
[0002] In hot weather, playing in water is a very refreshing activity. Water balloons are one type of water toy. Water balloons are divided into disposable water balloons and magnetic water balloons. Disposable water balloons cannot be used after they break, while magnetic water balloons seal water in two hemispheres and can be used again after they break.
[0003] Common magnetic water balloons consist of an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere, sealed together by magnets that attract each other, thus encapsulating water within the two hemispheres. For example, utility model patent application CN221732368U, entitled "Toy Water Balloon," discloses a toy water balloon comprising a soft rubber molded part. This part consists of a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere. The circumferential edges of the openings of both hemispheres are respectively formed with a first mating ring and a second mating ring. Soft rubber magnets are respectively disposed on the first and second mating rings. Under the action of the soft rubber magnets, the surfaces of the first and second mating rings adhere to each other, forming a sealed spherical water cavity when the first and second hemispheres are closed. While magnetism can achieve the closing effect between the first and second hemispheres, it requires a large number of magnets, which is not only costly, but also prone to loosening and falling off after a violent impact because these magnets are internally assembled. Furthermore, when water is released upon impact, the first and second hemispheres may sometimes close automatically due to the magnetic force, resulting in incomplete water discharge, with a lot of water remaining in the water cavity, affecting the gameplay experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a non-magnetic, reusable water ball with a reasonable structural design, good closure effect, and complete water dissipation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A non-magnetic, reusable water balloon includes a first hemispherical shell and a second hemispherical shell. The first and second hemispherical shells are connected by a flexible connecting strip and can be flipped to form a spherical shell. A water pressure skirt extends radially to the inner side of the overlapping position of the first and second hemispherical shells. The water pressure skirt of the first hemispherical shell has a locking slot, and the water pressure skirt of the second hemispherical shell has a hook adapted to the locking slot. The hook has a water pressure tongue extending along the arc direction of the second hemispherical shell. After being filled with water and closed, the two water pressure skirts will naturally close to seal. Furthermore, the water inside the spherical shell will exert pressure on the two water pressure skirts and the water pressure tongue, making the two water pressure skirts fit more tightly and preventing leakage. The water pressure tongue will fit more tightly against the inner arc surface of the first hemispherical shell, improving the fit between the hook and the locking slot.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first hemispherical shell has a recessed edge at the water pressure skirt to form the bayonet, which has a simple structure and is easy to implement.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water pressure tongue can be tightly attached to the inner arc surface of the first hemispherical shell after the first hemispherical shell and the second hemispherical shell are closed, with a tight fit and not easy to loosen.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the water pressure skirts on the first and second hemispherical shells can fit tightly together after the first and second hemispherical shells are closed. This provides a good fit and further enhances the sealing performance of the water sphere.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first hemispherical shell, the second hemispherical shell, and the flexible connecting strip are integrally injection molded connection structures, which are firmly connected and reduce the assembly steps of the parts.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water pressure skirt, hook and water pressure tongue are integrally injection molded connection structure, which makes the connection between the various components more solid, less prone to breakage or loosening during use, and has a long service life.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first hemispherical shell and the second hemispherical shell are made of silicone, which has good flexibility and safety and is not likely to cause harm to the human body.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the spherical shell has a diameter of 40-100mm and a thickness of 0.5-1.5mm, and its size can be adapted to the hand size of users of different ages, taking into account both throwing convenience and water storage capacity.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure is rationally designed. After filling with water and covering the first and second hemispheres, the two water-pressure skirts naturally adhere and seal. Furthermore, the water inside the spherical shell applies pressure to the two water-pressure skirts and the water-pressure tongue, making the skirts fit more tightly, and the tongue adheres more closely to the inner arc surface of the first hemisphere. This makes the engagement of the hook and the latch more reliable and less prone to leakage, thus replacing the traditional magnetic adsorption method and completely eliminating the use of magnets, significantly reducing manufacturing costs. Upon impact, the spherical shell deforms and shakes violently, causing the hook and latch to detach, and water instantly sprays out from around the opening, creating a water balloon explosion effect. It does not automatically close, effectively solving the problem of incomplete water splashing and excessive residue in traditional methods. In addition, the overall structure is simple, easy to implement, reusable, and has a long service life.
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0023] See the example. Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a non-magnetic, reusable water ball, which includes a first hemispherical shell 1 and a second hemispherical shell 2. The first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2 are connected by a flexible connecting strip 3 and can be flipped to form a spherical shell. Preferably, the first hemispherical shell 1, the second hemispherical shell 2, and the flexible connecting strip 3 are integrally injection molded connection structures, which are firmly connected and reduce the assembly steps of the parts.
[0024] In this embodiment, the present invention is made of silicone material, which has good flexibility and safety, and is unlikely to cause harm to the human body. Taking a spherical shell with a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 1mm as an example, the following description is provided. In other embodiments, the spherical shell can be flexibly selected within the range of 40-100mm in diameter and 0.5-1.5mm in thickness to accommodate the hand sizes of users of different ages, balancing throwing convenience and water storage capacity.
[0025] The inner radial extension of the first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2 at their overlapping position extends by a certain length, such as 5-10 mm, to form a water pressure skirt 4. The water pressure skirt 4 on the first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2 can fit tightly together after they overlap. This provides a good fit and further enhances the sealing performance of the water sphere.
[0026] The first hemispherical shell 1 has a locking slot 41 on its water-pressure skirt 4. Specifically, the locking slot 41 is formed by a recess at the edge of the water-pressure skirt 4 of the first hemispherical shell 1. The structure is simple and easy to implement. The second hemispherical shell 2 has a hook 5 on its water-pressure skirt 4 that matches the locking slot 41. The hook 5 matches the locking slot 41 and has a water-pressure tongue 6 extending along the arc direction of the second hemispherical shell 2. Because the water-pressure tongue 6 extends along the arc direction of the second hemispherical shell 2, it can fit tightly against the inner arc surface of the first hemispherical shell 1 after the first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2 are closed, resulting in a tight fit and preventing it from easily coming loose.
[0027] The water pressure skirt 4, hook 5, and water pressure tongue 6 are integrated injection-molded connection structures, which makes the connection between the various components more secure, less prone to breakage or loosening during use, and has a long service life.
[0028] After the water is filled and the lid is closed, the two water pressure skirts 4 will naturally close to seal the seal. The water inside the spherical shell will exert a certain pressure on the two water pressure skirts 4 and the water pressure tongue 6, making the two water pressure skirts 4 fit more tightly and less prone to leakage. The water pressure tongue 6 will fit more tightly against the inner arc surface of the first hemispherical shell 1, making the hook 5 and the latch 41 fit better.
[0029] When water needs to be added, see Figure 5 The non-magnetic recyclable water ball of this utility model is opened and completely submerged in water. After water is injected into the cavity formed by the first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2, the first hemispherical shell 1 and the second hemispherical shell 2 are closed together.
[0030] See Figure 6After filling with water, the first hemisphere 1 and the second hemisphere 2 are covered together. The two water pressure skirts 4 will naturally fit together to form a seal. Taking the first hemisphere 1 as the upper position and the second hemisphere 2 as the lower position, the water in the first hemisphere 1 will generate upper water pressure acting on the water pressure skirt 4 of the first hemisphere 1, while the water in the second hemisphere will generate lower water pressure acting on the water pressure skirt 4 of the second hemisphere 1, making the two water pressure skirts 4 fit together more tightly. At the same time, the water in the second hemisphere will also generate outward water pressure acting on the water pressure tongue 6, making the water pressure tongue 6 fit more tightly on the inner arc surface of the first hemisphere 1.
[0031] See Figure 7 This utility model of a non-magnetic, reusable water balloon causes the spherical shell to deform and shake violently after being thrown and impacted, causing the hook 5 to detach from the latch 41. Water will instantly spray out from all sides of the opening, creating a water balloon explosion effect. Moreover, it does not close automatically, effectively solving the problem of incomplete water splashing and excessive residue in traditional water balloons.
