Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inflatable ornaments technology, and more specifically, to an inflatable ornament that can be easily stored. Background Technology

[0002] Inflatable holiday decorations, a type of inflatable model, are widely used in festivals, celebrations, and commercial events due to their diverse shapes, vibrant colors, and ability to quickly create a joyful atmosphere. Common inflatable holiday decorations include inflatable cartoon characters and walking cartoon installations. These products, through their three-dimensional shapes after inflation, add a strong festive atmosphere to various activities.

[0003] When inflatable ornaments are stored after use, the internal gas must be completely released first, and then they must be folded manually. Because inflatable ornaments are made of soft material and lack a fixed shape, they are irregular in shape. As a result, workers need to repeatedly adjust the position and shape of the inflatable ornaments during folding to try to make them as neat as possible. However, due to the lack of effective fixing methods, it is often difficult to achieve the desired effect, which greatly reduces the storage efficiency. On the other hand, the stored inflatable ornaments look rather messy, which causes great inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an inflatable ornament that can be easily stored, which solves the problem that the inflatable ornament is inconvenient to store because the material of the inflatable ornament itself is soft and the overall shape lacks a fixed structure, resulting in an amorphous shape.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an inflatable ornament that can be conveniently stored, including an inflatable ornament body, a bottom plate provided at the bottom of the inflatable ornament body, and folding plates hinged to the four sides of the bottom plate. When the folding plates are in a first position, the four folding plates are respectively located in four areas formed by the two diagonals of the bottom plate. When the folding plates are in a second position, the bottom plate is surrounded by the folding plates to form a receiving space for storing the inflatable ornament body. The invention also includes a first limiting component for positioning the folding plates in the first position and a second limiting component for positioning the folding plates in the second position.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the first limiting component includes a latching protrusion disposed on the folding plate, and a latching groove for the latching protrusion to be latched into is provided at the corresponding position of the base plate.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the first limiting component includes a first magnetic block embedded in the folding plate, and a second magnetic block that attracts the first magnetic block is embedded in the corresponding position of the base plate.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the second limiting component includes a rope hole opened on the folding plate, the rope hole is located at one end of the four folding plates that are close to each other, and a binding rope is threaded through the rope hole.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a groove is provided on the base plate, and adhesive particles are provided in the groove.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that anti-slip blocks are provided on all four folding plates.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that when the folding plate is in the second position, the included angle between the folding plate and the base plate is less than 60 degrees.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By setting a base plate and a rotatable folding plate at the bottom of the inflatable ornament, and in conjunction with the first and second limiting components, on the one hand, the staff no longer needs to perform repeated and complicated sorting work on the deflated inflatable ornament, which greatly improves storage efficiency and saves time and labor costs. On the other hand, the stored inflatable ornament has a relatively fixed shape and position, avoiding visual clutter after storage, which brings great convenience to users and enhances the user experience of the product.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6 An inflatable ornament that can be easily stored includes an inflatable ornament body 1. A base plate 2 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inflatable ornament body 1. Folding plates 3 are hinged to the four sides of the base plate 2. When the folding plates 3 are in the first position, the four folding plates 3 are respectively located in the four areas formed by the two diagonals of the base plate 2. When the folding plates 3 are in the second position, the base plate 2 is surrounded by the folding plates 3 to form a space for storing the inflatable ornament body 1. The ornament also includes a first limiting component for positioning the folding plates 3 in the first position and a second limiting component for positioning the folding plates 3 in the second position.

[0026] The shape of the base plate 2 is not limited and can be selected as a circle, rectangle, square or other shapes according to actual needs. In this embodiment, a square structure is adopted and the four folding plates 3 are triangular in shape.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base plate 2 and folding plate 3 are made of plastic. The lightweight plastic material will not affect the overall weight of the inflatable ornament, and the appropriately increased weight, as the base of the main body of the inflatable ornament, can also enhance its stability during the display process.

[0028] The first limiting component includes a latching protrusion 4 fixedly mounted on the folding plate 3. A corresponding slot 5 is provided on the base plate 2 for the latching protrusion 4 to engage. When the folding plate 3 rotates from the second position back to the first position, the latching protrusion 4 on the folding plate 3 will naturally engage in the slot 5 on the base plate 2. Through the engaging action of the latching protrusion 4 and the slot 5, the position of the folding plate 3 is limited, keeping it stably in the first position. When storage is required, applying a certain external force will cause the latching protrusion 4 to disengage from the slot 5, releasing the limiting effect on the folding plate 3. The folding plate 3 can then rotate around the hinge to the second position. This limiting method is convenient to operate and has a reliable structure. The first limiting component prevents the folding plate 3 from falling down randomly and causing inconvenience in scenarios such as lifting and moving the inflatable ornament body 1.

[0029] The second limiting component includes a rope hole on the folding plate 3. The rope hole is located at one end of the four folding plates 3 that are close to each other. A binding rope 8 is threaded through the rope hole. When the folding plate 3 rotates to the second position and the inflatable ornament is enclosed in the receiving space, the binding rope 8 is tightened and tied. Through the binding effect of the binding rope 8, the four folding plates 3 are connected to each other and fixed together, thereby realizing the positioning of the folding plate 3 in the second position. The tightness of the binding rope 8 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the operation is simple and easy to master.

[0030] The base plate 2 has a groove with adhesive particles 9 inside. When the folding plate 3 is in the first position, the end away from the binding rope 8 is fixed by the adhesive particles 9, which can adjust the binding rope 8 to a certain extent and prevent the binding rope 8 from contacting the ground. The adhesive particles 9 are embedded in the groove, so when the folding plate 3 is in the second position, the adhesive particles 9 will not directly contact the ground, thus delaying its adhesive adhesion performance.

[0031] Anti-slip blocks 10 are fixed on each of the four folding plates 3. The surface of the anti-slip blocks 10 is made of rubber. Rubber has good anti-slip properties. When the folding plate 3 is in the first position and acts as the base of the inflatable ornament body 1, the anti-slip blocks 10 can contact the ground to enhance the anti-slip performance, thereby increasing the stability of the inflatable ornament body 1 during the display process.

[0032] When the folding plate 3 is in the second position, the angle between the folding plate 3 and the base plate 2 is less than 60 degrees. This design allows the folding plate 3 to reduce the gap between the folding plates 3 after storage, effectively visually obscuring the inflatable ornament body 1 from the top, increasing neatness and making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0033] Working principle: When the inflatable ornament body 1 is finished and needs to be stored, the inflatable ornament body 1 is first deflated. Then, the first limiting component releases the limiting effect on the folding plate 3, allowing the folding plate 3 to rotate around its hinge with the base plate 2, rotating from the first position to the second position. At this time, the deflated inflatable ornament body 1 naturally falls into and is enclosed in the receiving space formed by the four folding plates 3. Then, the second limiting component fixes the position of the folding plate 3 to prevent the folding plate 3 from rotating on its own, so that the inflatable ornament is stably stored in the space enclosed by the folding plates 3.

[0034] When the inflatable ornament body 1 needs to be inflated for normal use, the second limiting component first releases the limiting of the folding plate 3, allowing the folding plate 3 to freely rotate back to the bottom of the base plate 2 and be fixed in the first position by the first limiting component. At this time, the base plate 2 and the folding plate 3 act as the base of the inflatable ornament body 1 and are visually hidden at the bottom of the inflatable ornament body 1, without affecting the normal display effect of the inflatable ornament body 1.

[0035] By setting a base plate 2 and a rotatable folding plate 3 at the bottom of the inflatable ornament body 1, and cooperating with the first limiting component and the second limiting component, on the one hand, the staff does not need to carry out repeated and complicated sorting work on the deflated inflatable ornament, which greatly improves the storage efficiency and saves time and labor costs. On the other hand, the stored inflatable ornament has a relatively fixed shape and position, avoiding the visual mess after storage, which brings great convenience to users and improves the user experience of the product.

[0036] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the first limiting component no longer includes the protrusion 4 and the slot 5, but instead includes a first magnetic block 6 embedded and fixed on the folding plate 3. A second magnetic block 7 that attracts the first magnetic block 6 is embedded and fixed at the corresponding position on the base plate 2. When the folding plate 3 rotates from the second position back to the first position, the first magnetic block 6 on the folding plate 3 and the second magnetic block 7 on the base plate 2 attract each other, using magnetic attraction to fix the folding plate 3 in the first position. When it needs to be stored, applying sufficient external force to overcome the magnetic attraction will separate the first magnetic block 6 from the second magnetic block 7, and the folding plate 3 can then rotate around the hinge to the second position. This limiting method is also convenient to operate, reliable in limiting, and will not create additional storage burden.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
