TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The disclosure belongs to the technical field of balloons and specifically relates to a fun aluminum foil balloon.BACKGROUND
[0002] Balloons are popular toys for children and can also be used for advertisement, decoration and other purposes. With the development of technology, aluminum foil balloons have emerged as the times require. Aluminum foil balloons are loved by people because they can maintain air tightness for a long time and can be processed in the shapes of various animal cartoons. However, this type of aluminum foil balloon is usually prefabricated in a specific shape to maintain airtightness, and the balloon can only maintain a single posture and shape after being inflated, which does not have much fun.SUMMARY
[0003] The objective of the disclosure is to provide a fun aluminum foil balloon which can change the posture and shape after being inflated to provide more fun.
[0004] The fun aluminum foil balloon provided by the disclosure includes a main balloon part and an accessory balloon part independent of each other, where the main balloon part is provided with an inflation inlet; the main balloon part and the accessory balloon part are connected through a connecting assembly; the connecting assembly includes a female connector and a male connector; the main body of the female connector is a first cylindrical connecting part; a first annular edge to be connected with the main balloon part by heat sealing is formed on the periphery of one end of the first cylindrical connecting part; the main body of the male connector is a second cylindrical connecting part; a second annular edge to be connected with the accessory balloon part by heat sealing is formed on the periphery of one end of the second cylindrical connecting part; and the periphery of the second cylindrical connecting part is in interference fit with an inner hole of the first cylindrical connecting part.
[0005] In the disclosure, the female connector is fixed to the main balloon part by heat sealing through the first annular edge, and the male connector is fixed to the accessory balloon part by heat sealing through the second annular edge. When in use, the uninflated main balloon part is connected with the uninflated accessory balloon part by inserting the second cylindrical connecting part of the male connector into the inner hole of the first cylindrical connecting part of the female connector through interference fit. The balloon is inflated through the inflation inlet of the main balloon part, and the air injected not only expands the main balloon part, but also inflates the accessory balloon part through the inner hole of the second cylindrical connecting part. After both the main balloon part and the accessory balloon part are fully inflated, the accessory balloon part can rotate around the connecting assembly, thereby changing the posture of the accessory balloon part and increasing the playability of the balloon. As the connecting assembly, the female connector and the male connector are plastic parts with certain elasticity. Therefore, when the second cylindrical connecting part of the male connector is inserted into the inner hole of the first cylindrical connecting part of the female connector through interference fit, the airtightness between the male connector and the female connector can still be ensured and air leakage can be avoided while forming a rotational fit with the second cylindrical connecting part as an axis and the first cylindrical connecting part as a bearing. In practical applications, the shape of the main balloon part may be a simulated animal body, a robot body, or the like, and the shape of the corresponding accessory balloon part may be a simulated animal limb, a simulated animal head / tail, a robot limb, a robot head / tail, a robot weapon connector, or the like, providing more fun.
[0006] Further, the inner hole of the first cylindrical connecting part is provided with a spacer, and the spacer is provided with an air hole. The spacer with the air hole can prevent air from flowing into the accessory balloon part too fast during rapid inflation, thus preventing connection between the female connector and the male connector from loosening and affecting the airtightness therebetween.
[0007] Further, to facilitate insertion of the male connector into the female connector, reduce installation difficulty, and improve the airtightness between the female connector and the male connector after connection, the inner hole of the first cylindrical connecting part is in a tapered pipe shape, and the periphery of the second cylindrical connecting part is in a tapered pipeshape.
[0008] Specifically, the main balloon part is a simulated animal body assembly, and the accessory balloon part is a simulated animal limb assembly and / or a simulated animal head / tailassembly.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

[0014] With reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of specific implementations of the disclosure will be provided below, including the shapes and structures of members, the mutual position and connection relationships between parts, the functions and working principles of the parts, or the like, through descriptions of implementation examples.Embodiment 1
[0015] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a fun aluminum foil balloon provided by the disclosure includes a main balloon part 1 and an accessory balloon part 2 independent of each other. The main balloon part 1 is provided with an inflation inlet 11. The main balloon part 1 and the accessory balloon part 2 are connected through a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a female connector 3 and a male connector 4. The main body of the female connector 3 is a first cylindrical connecting part 31. A first annular edge 32 to be connected with the main balloon part 1 by heat sealing is formed on the periphery of one end of the first cylindrical connecting part 31. The main body of the male connector 4 is a second cylindrical
[0016] connecting part 41. A second annular edge 42 to be connected with the accessory balloon part 2 by heat sealing is formed on the periphery of one end of the second cylindrical connecting part 41. The periphery of the second cylindrical connecting part 41 is in interference fit with an inner hole 310 of the first cylindrical connecting part 31.
[0017] In the disclosure, the female connector 3 is fixed to the main balloon part 1 by heat sealing through the first annular edge 32, and the male connector 4 is fixed to the accessory balloon part 2 by heat sealing through the second annular edge 42. When in use, the uninflated main balloon part 1 is connected with the uninflated accessory balloon part 2 by inserting the second cylindrical connecting part 41 of the male connector 4 into the inner hole 310 of the first cylindrical connecting part 31 of the female connector 3 through interference fit. The balloon is inflated through the inflation inlet 11 of the main balloon part 1, and the air injected not only expands the main balloon part 1, but also inflates the accessory balloon part 2 through the inner hole 410 of the second cylindrical connecting part 41. After both the main balloon part 1 and the accessory balloon part 2 are fully inflated, the accessory balloon part 2 can rotate around the connecting assembly, thereby changing the posture of the accessory balloon part 2 and increasing the playability of the balloon. As the connecting assembly, the female connector 3 and the male connector 4 are plastic parts with certain elasticity. Therefore, when the second cylindrical connecting part 41 of the male connector 4 is inserted into the inner hole 310 of the first cylindrical connecting part 31 of the female connector 3 through interference fit, the airtightness between the male connector 4 and the female connector 3 can still be ensured and air leakage can be avoided while forming a rotational fit with the second cylindrical connecting part 41 as an axis and the first cylindrical connecting part 31 as a bearing. In practical applications, the shape of the main balloon part 1 may be a simulated animal body, a robot body, or the like, and the shape of the corresponding accessory balloon part 2 may be a simulated animal limb, a simulated animal head / tail, a robot limb, a robot head / tail, a robot weapon connector, or the like, providing more fun. In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the main balloon part 1 is a simulated animal body assembly, and the accessory balloon part 2 is a simulated animal limb assembly 2a and / or a simulated animal head / tail assembly 2b. Embodiment 2
[0018] As shown in FIG. 3, different from Embodiment 1, the inner hole 310 of the first cylindrical connecting part 31 is provided with a spacer 5, and the spacer 5 is provided with an air hole 51. The spacer 5 with the air hole 51 can prevent air from flowing into the accessory balloon part 2 too fast during rapid inflation, thus preventing connection between the female connector 3 and the male connector 4 from loosening and affecting the airtightness therebetween.Embodiment 3
[0019] As shown in FIG. 4, different from Embodiments 1 and 2, to facilitate insertion of the male connector 4 into the female connector 3, reduce installation difficulty, and improve the airtightness between the female connector 3 and the male connector 4 after connection, the inner hole 310 of the first cylindrical connecting part 31 is in a tapered pipe shape, and the periphery of the second cylindrical connecting part 41 is in a tapered pipe shape.
[0020] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the disclosure based on specific preferred implementations, and it cannot be assumed that the specific implementation of the disclosure is limited to the descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosure belongs, several simple deductions or replacements can be made without departing from the concept of the disclosure, which should be considered as within the protection scope of the disclosure.
