Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to a toy component connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In current toy manufacturing, decorative or functional components need to be attached to the toy body. For example, hair is implanted manually into the toy body made of thermoplastic elastic material using a hair transplant machine. In this process, 24 strands of hair per strand are repeatedly implanted into the toy body. This process is labor-intensive, requires skilled workers, is inefficient, and has a high defect rate.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a toy component connection structure, which is composed of decorative parts and connectors. The mounting hole with an annular groove is opened at the mounting position of the toy body. During installation, the connector is inserted into the mounting hole of the toy body after heat treatment. After cooling, the connector is restricted in the annular groove, thereby efficiently and cost-effectively fixing the component to the toy body, which is both aesthetically pleasing and not easy to fall off.

Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0025] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," "up," "down," "front," "back," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a toy component connection structure includes a toy body 1 and a component 2;

[0029] The toy body 1 is made of thermoplastic elastic material, and the toy body 1 has mounting holes 10 for connecting with the component 2;

[0030] The mounting hole 10 is a tapered hole with a gradually decreasing diameter;

[0031] The mounting hole 10 has an annular groove 20 with an inner diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the mounting hole 10.

[0032] The component 2 includes a non-removable decorative piece 21 and a connector 22;

[0033] The connector 22 is frustum shaped, and the large end of the connector 22 is connected to the decorative part 21. The diameter of the large end of the connector 22 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 10 and smaller than the inner diameter of the annular groove 20.

[0034] The length of the connector 22 is equal to or less than the depth of the annular groove 20;

[0035] The toy body 1 has a heating state and a cooling state. In the heating state, the component 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 10 through the small end of the connector 22, and the connector 22 is placed in the annular groove 20. In the cooling state, the annular groove 20 restricts the connector 22 from disengaging from the mounting hole 10.

[0036] In this example, before component 2 is installed, the decorative part 21 and the connector 22 have been integrated through processing. When installing component 2, the toy body 1 made of thermoplastic elastic material is first heated to a set temperature. At this time, the position of the mounting hole 10 will soften due to heating. Then, the lower end of the connector 22 is oriented towards the mounting hole 10, and external force is used to insert the connector 22 into the mounting hole 10 until the large end of the connector 22 falls completely into the annular groove 20. After the toy body 1 cools down, the position of the mounting hole 10 gradually returns to its original hardness, thereby fixing component 2 to the toy body 1. Compared with the existing technology installation method, this method is efficient, high-quality, low-cost, aesthetically pleasing, and not easy to fall off.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in order to simplify the toy structure and reduce openings, the toy body 1 is a hollow structure, and the cavity 11 of the toy body 1 is connected to the mounting hole 10.

[0038] The mounting hole 10 is an air hole for the toy body 1.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the decorative component 21 is a hair strand assembly, and the connector 22 is a hot melt adhesive plug. The hair strand assembly is processed and fixed onto the hot melt adhesive plug using a hot melt equipment.

[0040] In this embodiment, the above structure uses a device to fix a hair group consisting of 300-500 hair strands together with the heat-fused connector 22. Compared with the existing technology of manually implanting hair groups onto the toy body 1 using a hair transplant machine, this method is more efficient and aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the hair strand assembly and the connector 22 are integrally formed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the ends of a hair strand group consisting of 300-500 hair strands are directly heat-melted to form a connector 22 by automated equipment, making the component 2 more integrated.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in order to improve the tightness of the connection, the annular groove 20 has the same outer contour as the connector 22.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in order to improve the connection reliability between the connector 22 and the annular groove 20, the annular groove 20 is a 360-degree annular groove with a rectangular or round-bottomed rectangular cross-section.

[0045] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
