In the prior art, a headgear imitating a shape of a rabbit comprises a control structure and a sleeve wrapped outside the control structure, the sleeve has a shape similar to a head of a rabbit, and ears on the headgear may be unfolded and folded by controlling the control structure.
However, in the prior art, it is necessary to exert a large acting force on the control structure, and then the ears on the ornament can be unfolded, leading to the difficult operation by users and poor experience.
One object of the present invention is to provide a control structure, so as to solve at least one of the technical problems above.
In order to achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a control structure, which comprises an air bag and an actuating portion which are communicated, wherein the actuating portion comprises a fixed portion and a moving portion which are connected at an included angle, the fixed portion is close to the air bag relative to the moving portion, at least two moving portions are provided, a volume of the air bag is capable of being repeatedly increased and decreased, and when the volume of the air bag is decreased, air in the air bag is capable of entering the actuating portion, so that the moving portion is moved and the included angle between the fixed portion and the moving portion is increased, thus switching a folded state of the actuating portion to an unfolded state.
Optionally, the control structure further comprises a connecting pipe, and the air bag and the actuating portion are connected through the connecting pipe.
Optionally, the connecting pipe is detachably connected with the actuating portion.
Optionally, one end of one connecting pipe is connected with one or more actuating portions.
Optionally, the air bag and/or the actuating portion are made of blow-molded plastic or thermoplastic rubber.
Optionally, the volume of the air bag is greater than that of the actuating portion.
Optionally, the volume of the air bag is 4 to 30 times that of the actuating portion.
Optionally, the moving portion is in a hollow flat structure.
Optionally, the control structure further comprises a valve, the valve is connected to the connecting pipe, and the valve allows external air to enter the connecting pipe and restricts air in the connecting pipe from flowing out.
Optionally, the valve comprises a valve body and a valve sheet, a valve cavity is arranged in the valve body, the valve body is further provided with an air channel and an air inlet which are both communicated with the valve cavity, a first opening at a first end of the air channel is connected with the connecting pipe, a second end of the air channel is also provided with a second opening, wherein the first end is opposite to the second end, and the second opening is communicated with the valve cavity.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an ornament, so as to solve at least one of the technical problems above.
In order to achieve the object, in a second aspect, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
An ornament comprises a fabric and the control structure above arranged in the fabric, wherein the fabric comprises a body and a moving structure connected to the body, and at least the moving portion is arranged in the moving structure.
Optionally, an opening is arranged between the moving structure and the body, and the actuating portion is capable of entering and withdrawing from the fabric through the opening; and/or,
a limit channel is arranged in the fabric, the connecting pipe of the control structure extends along the limit channel, and the air bag and the actuating portion of the control structure are located outside the limit channel, and located at two ends of the limit channel.
Optionally, the fixed portion is located at a joint of the body and the moving structure, and/or, the moving portion is located in the moving structure.
It can be seen from the above that, in the technical solution provided by the present invention, when a user operates the control structure, the volume of the air bag can be reduced by squeezing the air bag, and in a process of squeezing the air bag, a pressure in the air bag is greater than that of the actuating portion, and air in the air bag enters the actuating portion and fills the actuating portion, so that the moving portion is moved and unfolded, thus making the actuating portion in the unfolded state. When the user releases the air bag, there is a negative pressure in the air bag relative to the actuating portion, so that air in the actuating portion enters the air bag again, and the volume of the air bag is increased to an original state, and meanwhile, air in the moving portion is decreased, and the air in the moving portion cannot support the moving portion and the fixed portion, so that the actuating portion is restored to the folded state.
Because there are at least two actuating portions, and a space between the two actuating portions does not need to be filled with air, compared with one actuating portion with the same volume, at least two actuating portions can reduce a volume of air required by the actuating portion, so as to realize an effect of small-scale squeezing on the air bag and an effect of large-scale movement of the moving portion, thus reducing a squeezing scale on the air bag and an acting force on the air bag by a user, facilitating the operation of the user, and improving the experience of the user. Meanwhile, compared with one actuating portion with the same volume, at least two actuating portions are more dispersed in the fabric, and when the actuating portion is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, an acting force on the fabric is more uniform, and the fabric is easier to move.
The ornament comprises the fabric and the control structure above, the control structure is arranged in the fabric, the fabric comprises the body and the moving structure connected to the body, and at least the moving portion is arranged in the moving structure, so that the moving structure is moved along with the movement of the moving portion. Specifically, when the actuating portion is in the folded state, the moving structure is close to the body, and the moving structure is folded, and when the actuating portion is in the folded state due to the movement of the moving portion, a free end of the moving structure (one end not connected with the body) is moved away from the body, and the moving structure is unfolded.

When the volume of the air bag 1 is decreased, air in the air bag 1 can enter the actuating portion 2, so that the moving portion 21 is moved and the included angle between the fixed portion 22 and the moving portion 21 is increased, thus switching a folded state of the actuating portion 2 to an unfolded state.
As shown in
When a user operates the control structure, the volume of the air bag 1 can be reduced by squeezing the air bag 1, and in a process of squeezing the air bag 1, a pressure in the air bag 1 is greater than that of the actuating portion 2, and air in the air bag 1 enters the actuating portion 2 and fills the actuating portion 2, so that the moving portion 21 is moved and unfolded, thus making the actuating portion 2 in the unfolded state. When the user releases the air bag 1, there is a negative pressure in the air bag 1 relative to the actuating portion 2, so that air in the actuating portion 2 enters the air bag 1 again, and the volume of the air bag 1 is increased to an original state, and meanwhile, air in the moving portion 21 is decreased, and the air in the moving portion 21 cannot support the moving portion 21 and the fixed portion 22, so that the actuating portion 2 is restored to the folded state.
Because there are at least two actuating portions 2, and a space between the two actuating portions 2 does not need to be filled with air, compared with one actuating portion with the same volume, at least two actuating portions 2 can reduce a volume of air required by the actuating portion 2, so as to realize an effect of small-scale squeezing on the air bag 1 and an effect of large-scale movement of the moving portion 21, thus reducing a squeezing scale on the air bag 1 and an acting force on the air bag 1 by a user, facilitating the operation of the user, and improving the experience of the user. Meanwhile, compared with one actuating portion 2 with the same volume, at least two actuating portions 2 are more dispersed in the fabric, and when the actuating portion 2 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, an acting force on the fabric is more uniform, and the fabric is easier to move.
As shown in
Optionally, the volume of the air bag 1 is much greater than that of the actuating portion 2, so that the volume of the air bag 1 changes slightly, and the actuating portion 2 may be filled with air and unfolded, thus further reducing a squeezing scale of the air bag 1, further facilitating the operation by the user and improving the experience of the user. Specifically, the volume of the air bag 1 is 4 to 30 times that of the actuating portion 2.
Optionally, as shown in

Optionally, the hard inserting pipe may be in interference-fit with the connecting pipe 3 and the air bag 1 to realize sealed connection.
Optionally, the air bag 1 and/or the actuating portion 2 are made of blow-molded plastic or thermoplastic rubber. The blow-molded plastic and the thermoplastic rubber (TPR) are flexible enough to be repeatedly squeezed and restored. Polymers such as the blow-molded plastic and the thermoplastic rubber have good memory, so that the actuating portion 2 may always be restored to the folded state in a natural state, and the materials may be stretched and expanded, thus reducing the risk of damage to the control structure.
Illustratively, a cross-section of the air bag 1 is circular or elliptical, and a cross-sectional area of the air bag 1 is gradually increased from one end to the other end, and then gradually decreased, thus facilitating the user to hold the air bag 1.
