Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water polo toy technology, and in particular to an integrated water polo toy. Background Technology
[0002] Playing in water is a very refreshing activity in hot weather, and water balloons are a common type of water play toy. Water balloons come in two main types: disposable and reusable. Disposable water balloons cannot be reused after bursting, similar to a balloon being filled with water. Reusable water balloons, on the other hand, have water sealed inside two hemispheres, allowing them to be reused even after being broken. This reusable nature reduces waste and the ability to be used immediately after being picked up makes them very popular with consumers.
[0003] Currently, common reusable water balloons mainly consist of an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere. The upper hemisphere has a sealing strip, and the lower hemisphere has a sealing groove. Magnets are installed in the sealing strip and the sealing groove to attract each other. After water is filled into the lower hemisphere, the sealing strip is pressed against the sealing groove, and the magnets attract each other, sealing the water within the two hemispheres. However, due to the technical features described above, because the toy water balloon is divided into two hemispheres, the hemispheres will be directly open during use. Refilling requires precise alignment of the two hemispheres, adding steps to the operation. Furthermore, the use of magnets to achieve a seal results in a higher manufacturing cost.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a toy water ball to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated water ball toy.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An integrated water balloon toy includes a sphere and a cover made of soft rubber. The top of the sphere has an opening, and the shape of the inner end face of the cover corresponds to the shape of the outer end face of the sphere, so that the cover can fit on the sphere. A rib is provided at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the sphere. The rib is made of soft rubber and is integrally formed with the sphere. The other end of the rib is fixedly connected to the cover.
[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the opening is smaller than the port diameter of the cover, so that the cover can completely cover the opening.
[0009] Preferably, a through hole is provided at the center of the cover, and the top of the rib passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to a decorative piece, which is made of soft rubber.
[0010] Preferably, the inner surface of the sphere is provided with transverse reinforcing ribs and longitudinal reinforcing ribs.
[0011] By adopting the above solution, this utility model relies on the stacking of the sphere and the cover to form a water ball, and connects them internally through stretchable ribs, so that the cover and the sphere can be connected to form an integrated structure. In this way, water can be directly poured in without the need for precise docking, and the use of magnets is eliminated, effectively reducing manufacturing costs. Attached Figure Description

They 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. They can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated water balloon toy, including a sphere 1 and a cover 2 made of soft rubber. The top of the sphere 1 has an opening 11. The shape of the inner end face of the cover 2 corresponds to the shape of the outer end face of the sphere 1, so that the cover 2 can fit on the sphere 1. A rib 3 is provided at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the sphere 1. The rib 3 is made of soft rubber and is integrally formed with the sphere 1. The other end of the rib 3 is fixedly connected to the cover 2.
[0019] This invention relies on the stacking of a sphere 1 and a cover 2 to form a water sphere, and connects them internally through stretchable ribs 3, so that the cover 2 and the sphere 1 can be connected to form an integrated structure. This allows water to be poured in directly without the need for precise docking, and also eliminates the need for magnets, effectively reducing manufacturing costs.
[0020] In this embodiment, when using the water balloon, one can either press the balloon 1 or flip up the cover 2 to expose the opening 11, allowing water to be poured into the balloon 1. When pressing the balloon 1, gradually reduce the pressure as it nears full; the balloon 1's own elasticity will allow it to gradually return to its original position until the pressure is completely removed. When flipping up the cover 2, once enough water has been poured into the balloon 1, the cover 2 can be returned to its original position. After returning to its original position, the elasticity of the ribs 3 will allow water to flow into the balloon. The tension allows the cover 2 to adhere to the sphere 1 and cover the opening 11. If necessary, pressing the cover 2 further releases excess gas from the sphere 1, creating a negative pressure and improving overall sealing. This allows it to be used as a toy water balloon for throwing and playing. When the water balloon collides with an object or person, the sphere 1, cover 2, and rib 3, all made of soft rubber, deform and break free from the cover of the opening 11, causing the water inside to splash out, fulfilling the design requirements for playing with the water balloon. The sphere 1, cover 2, and rib 3 can be made of silicone. The main body thickness of the sphere 1 is approximately 1mm, the thickness at the opening 11 is approximately 2mm, the thickness of the cover 2 is approximately 1mm, and the diameter of the rib 3 is approximately 2mm. Of course, these dimensions can be adjusted according to the actual size of the water balloon.
[0021] Furthermore, in order to better cover the opening 11, the diameter of the opening 11 in this embodiment is smaller than the port diameter of the cover 2, so that the cover 2 can completely cover the opening 11.
[0022] Furthermore, to enhance the overall aesthetics, a through hole 21 can be provided at the center of the cover 2. The top of the rib 3 passes through the through hole 21 and is fixedly connected to a decorative piece 4. The decorative piece 4 is made of the same soft rubber material as the cover 2, specifically silicone. This not only achieves the connection between the rib 3 and the cover 2, but also allows for the design of the decorative piece 4, such as setting it as a tomato stem. Combined with the cover 2 and the sphere 1, it can be viewed as a tomato, thus changing the original spherical shape of the water balloon and adding more fun to the entertainment. Of course, in practical applications, the appearance of the sphere 1 and the cover 2 can also be designed to create diverse appearances to meet better play effects.
[0023] Furthermore, since the sphere 1 is made of soft rubber and is relatively thin, in order to prevent it from losing its original shape after being filled with water, as deformation can easily lead to leakage, the inner cavity surface of the sphere 1 in this embodiment is provided with transverse reinforcing ribs 12 and longitudinal reinforcing ribs 13. The interlaced reinforcing ribs can improve the relative stability of the structure of the sphere 1.
[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
