FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of dolls, and in particular to an inflatable doll.BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, all kinds of conventional inflatable dolls are displayed in or in front of supermarkets or amusement parks to attract customers or visitors and create a friendly atmosphere. A conventional inflatable decoration has a body made of fabric material and a barrel which has a base formed on a lower end of the barrel. The body is mounted on the barrel so that the body is suspended above the ground. An air inlet is defined in the base and in communication with the interior of the body and an inflator is mounted on the base. A vent hole is defined in the inflator and corresponds to the air inlet so that air can be blown into the body when the inflator is operating. Hence, the body erects to attract the customers.

[0003] US20070022642A1 provides a gesturing inflatable doll which has a body and an inflator. The body has a primary portion and a secondary portion. A membrane with vent holes is mounted between the primary portion and the secondary portion. The inflator has a first air blower to draft external air into the body, and a second air blower is provided on the membrane to pump the air from the secondary portion to the primary portion. Hence, with the alternating operation of the second air blower, the secondary portion can be lowered or raised to achieve a dynamic waving effect with the doll.

[0004] US6447361B1 provides a balloon-shaped structure driving apparatus by which portions of a balloon-shaped structure can be caused to move easily and reliably and weight and cost can be reduced and a discharge / suction selector valve device. A rotating blade of the discharge / suction selector valve device is rotated to a suction operating position to connect an air outlet and an air flowing hole, to exhaust air from actuators toward a pump device, and to contract a bellows portion. At this time, the actuators pull acting portions of arm portions of a balloon robot main body, the balloon robot main body is bent at allowance portions which can be bent, and the arm portions are forcibly moved down.

[0005] CN213049376U provides a self-swing inflatable doll which includes a first inflatable part capable of being inflated and expanded and an air inlet channel communicated with the first inflatable part, two sides of the air inlet channel are communicated with two air bags through two fans, and the self-swing inflatable doll further comprises a controller electrically connected with the two fans. External air is inflated into the first inflation part through the air inlet channel, the two fans work respectively to exhaust air in the corresponding air bags, and the two fans do not work respectively to enable the air in the air inlet channel to enter the corresponding air bags. When the self-swing inflatable doll is used, the controller controls the two fans of the self-swing inflatable doll to work in turn, the two air bags are located on the two sides of the first inflatable part respectively, and the first inflatable part swings towards the direction of the exhausted air bag, so that the doll can swing the head continuously.
