Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of assembly toys, specifically to a mermaid-shaped assembly toy, which enhances assembly flexibility and durability through optimized connection structure and modularized design and production processes. [Background technology]

[0002] Children's assembly toys have long been popular among children. They can be assembled into a variety of shapes, which not only trains children's fine motor skills but also develops their thinking skills, creativity, and imagination. Currently, children's assembly toys can generally be divided into two types. One is simple block stacking, which has a simple structure and a limited number of assembly styles, making it difficult for children to engage with. The other is assembly toys with connecting parts, which can be assembled into a variety of shapes. However, while traditional plastic assembly toys are low-cost, they also have drawbacks such as limited angle adjustment, parts such as tails that are difficult to bend naturally (traditional solutions have a bending angle of ≦30°), connections that easily loosen, wear and tear from long-term insertion and removal, rapid weakening of the connection strength, single-module construction, complicated replacement of decorative parts, and a lack of unique play possibilities.

[0004] In the existing technology, the "speaking mermaid plastic toy" disclosed in Patent Document 1 in the prior art document improves the efficiency of attachment and detachment through a new attachment and detachment structure, but it is not satisfactory in terms of individualization and does not fully consider the needs for toys that are simple and easy to use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: It is a mermaid-shaped combination toy, a body part having a plurality of polygonal first insertion grooves formed on a surface thereof; a tail part having a protruding insertion rod at one end, which is connected to the first insertion groove of the body part by a divided module having a plurality of sets of first connecting parts and second connecting parts, and the tail part of the first connecting part having a recess is connected to the head part of the second connecting part having a protruding part, thereby rotating the first connecting part and the second connecting part opposite to each other, and the head part of the first connecting part connects to the body part, and the tail part of the second connecting part connects to the tail part; a head part inserted into and connected to the body part; The body part and the head part are provided with detachment ports, and the decorative part is connected to the body part and the head part through the detachment ports.

[0006] Preferably, the combination toy further includes an upper arm, one end of which is provided with a first plug and the other end of which is provided with a first connection port, the first plug being inserted into a first insertion groove of the body part, the first insertion groove being hexagonal, and the two fixing parts of the first plug being located on different sides of the polygon.

[0007] Preferably, a second plug is provided at one end of the lower arm, the second plug is connected to the first connection port, and protrusions are provided on the inner surface of the connection port.

[0008] Preferably, the number of pairs of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is two, an elastic engagement tongue is provided in the recess, the protrusion is spherical, and a hole is provided on the spherical surface, and after the elastic engagement tongue is inserted into the hole, the rotation angle of the protrusion is limited.

[0009] Preferably, the rotation angle at which the protrusion is limited is ±90° horizontally and ±45° vertically.

[0010] Preferably, the volume of the head of the second connecting part is greater than the volume of the tail.

[0011] Preferably, the decorative component comprises hair and accessories, the removal port is a combination of both a T-shaped groove and an elastic pin, and both the hair and accessories are interference-fitted into the removal port.

[0014] Preferably, the first insertion groove and the protruding insertion rod are interference fit to form a physical engagement after the first insertion rod is inserted.

[0015] The technical solution that the present invention seeks to protect has the following beneficial effects: 1) When the insert rod is inserted into the polygonal insert groove, it is fixed by physical engagement (the interference fit between the insert groove and the size of the insert rod), which provides basic stability and prevents it from loosening or falling off after assembly. 2) The first and second connecting parts are used to connect the mermaid's body to the base or removable decorative parts (e.g., shells, coral), allowing it to be displayed from multiple angles and preventing the structure from loosening due to excessive rotation. 3) Mermaid hair and accessories can be replaced without tools using a quick-release port (e.g., T-shaped sliding groove + elastic pin). The port has an interference fit, improving the positioning of the decorative parts and the body. This enhances unique playstyle and reduces the risk of losing small parts. 4) Mesh-like reinforcing ribs (0.5-1mm thick, injection-molded integrally with the case to prevent parts from bending and deforming and ensure assembly precision) are designed inside areas that are prone to deformation, such as the tail and body. 5) The magnetic adsorption structure is replaced by an elastic hook. An elastic barb is added to the end of the insertion rod, and a positioning hole is provided at the corresponding position on the inner wall of the insertion groove. After insertion and connection, the barb opens and engages with the hole, and the release button is pressed to pull it out. Compared with magnetic adsorption, this reduces costs and increases production capacity. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the disclosed embodiments clearer, the technical solutions of the disclosed embodiments will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings of the disclosed embodiments. However, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the disclosed embodiments, any other embodiments that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any creative work are all included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the mermaid-shaped combination toy provided by this embodiment mainly includes a body part 1, a tail part 2, and other decorative parts 5, and the decorative parts 5 include a head, a hair accessory, upper arms 6, lower arms 7, etc.

[0020] When assembling and combining the toy of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the body part 1 is first assembled, and the front half body is then combined with the rear half body. The surface of the body part 1 is provided with a plurality of first insertion grooves 11, which are polygonal. Specifically, in this embodiment, two first insertion grooves 11 are provided, and regular hexagonal nut-shaped first insertion grooves 11 are provided at the two arm locations on the left and right sides of the body. The upper arm 6 is extended, and a first plug is provided at one end of the upper arm 6 and a first connection port 62 is provided at the other end. The first plug 61 is inserted into the first insertion groove 11 of the body part 1, and the two fixing parts of the first plug 61 are located on different sides of the regular hexagon. Because the first insertion groove 11 is hexagonal, relative sliding is less likely to occur within the body body, which makes it easier to fix the upper arm 6 and makes the shape more solid after fixing, so that it does not appear loose from the outside.

[0021] A second plug 71 is provided at one end of the lower arm 7, and the second plug 71 is connected to the first connection port 62, which has a protrusion on the inner surface thereof. The protrusion increases the bonding strength with the first connection port 62, providing a stronger connection between the lower arm 7 and the upper arm 6 and making it less likely that the lower arm 7 will fall off from inside the upper arm 6.

[0022] At the same time, a cylindrical protrusion is further provided in the body part 1 for engaging with the split module 3, and the split module 3 connects the tail part 2 together to form a whole.

[0023] 2 to 4, after the body parts are assembled, the lower limb parts are then assembled, with the first lower limb part 8 being close to the body body and the second lower limb part 9 being connected to the tail part 2. Specifically, the split module 3 includes multiple sets of first connecting parts 31 and second connecting parts, and in this embodiment, the split module 3 includes two sets of first connecting parts 31 and second connecting parts 32. The tail part of the first connecting part 31, which is provided with a recess 311, is connected to the head part of the second connecting part 32, which is provided with a protrusion 321, supporting the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 to rotate oppositely, and the head part of the first connecting part 31 connects to the body part 1, and the tail part of the second connecting part 32 connects to the tail part 2. Both the first lower leg 8 portion and the second lower leg 9 portion have cylindrical protrusions inside, and assembly is completed by fitting both the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 into the cylindrical protrusions and engaging the front and rear halves of the first lower leg 8 portion and the second lower leg 9 portion.

[0024] Furthermore, after the tail end of the first connecting part 31 provided with the recess 311 is connected to the head end of the second connecting part 32 provided with the protrusion 321, the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 rotate oppositely, with the head end of the first connecting part 31 connecting to the body part 1 and the tail end of the second connecting part 32 connecting to the tail part 2. An elastic engagement tongue is provided within the recess 311, and the protrusion 321 is spherical with a hole on the surface of the sphere. After the elastic engagement tongue is fitted into the hole, the rotation angle of the spherical protrusion 321 is limited.

[0025] The rotation angle that the protrusion 321 is limited to is ±90° horizontally and ±45° vertically. This allows the curve angle of the entire tail to be up to 120°, which creates more room for viewing from multiple angles compared to the conventional 30° curve, and prevents loosening of the structure due to excessive rotation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the number of sets of the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 can be increased freely. As the number of sets increases, the shape of the mermaid's tail becomes longer and thinner, which makes a better visual impression and provides children with other assembly options.

[0027] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides polarity restrictions to prevent assembly errors, specifically, the head volume of the second connecting piece 32 is larger than the tail volume, so that errors will not occur when inserting and connecting the two pieces due to the difference in size.

[0028] 5 and 6, a protrusion insertion rod 21 is further provided at one end of the tail part 2, and the tail part 2 is connected to the cylindrical protrusion of the body part 1 by the split module 3. The first insertion groove 11 and the protrusion insertion rod 21 are interference-fitted, realizing physical engagement after the first insertion rod is inserted.

[0029] Furthermore, the body part 1 and the head part 4 are provided with removal ports, and the decorative part 5 is connected to the body part 1 and the head part 4 through the removal ports. The head is attached above the body part 1 and is attached using the normal insertion and connection method. The decorative part 5 includes hair and accessories, and after the head is attached, the hair and accessories are inserted into the head to connect them. The removal port is a combination of a T-shaped groove and an elastic pin (not shown), and both the hair and accessories are tightly fitted into the removal port. In this way, the insertion and connection time is significantly reduced to just a few seconds, compared to around 30 seconds using existing technology.

[0030] The body part 1 and tail part 2 are provided with a reinforcing rib with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm inside, which physically reinforces these parts and prevents them from bending or deforming, thereby increasing the assembly strength of the entire toy.

[0031] Furthermore, in the existing technology, the assembly of the decorative part 5 also uses magnetic adsorption, that is, after attaching a magnetic block to the decorative part 5, the assembly is carried out by magnetic force, which is expensive and requires the installation of magnets, resulting in high process requirements. In this embodiment, the magnetic adsorption is replaced by the method of an elastic hook, that is, an elastic barb is provided at the end of the insertion rod, and a positioning hole is provided at the corresponding position on the inner wall of the insertion groove.

[0032] As shown in Figure 7, this is a schematic diagram of other decorative parts. By adopting the above-mentioned body-legs-tail-head-other decorative attachment method, the combination toy disclosed in this embodiment can be quickly assembled.
