This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Applications No. 2023210490904 and No. 2023210490660, both filed on 4 May 2023, the entireties of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The disclosure relates to the technical field of inflatable products, and in particular to an inflatable ornament.
Whenever some special days are coming, people like to decorate bionic modeling ornaments of symbolic significance to enhance a festive and auspicious atmosphere. These modeling ornaments mainly include figure modeling ornaments and animal modeling ornaments, such as auspicious pandas, which are generally provided with main components such as a head, a trunk and even limbs. In order to appear more realistic and friendly, outer layers of the ornaments are all wrapped in various clothing fabrics.
Swinging action of the existing inflatable ornament is mainly implemented by arranging a swinging mechanism at a head or a tail of the inflatable ornament. Such swinging structure needs to use a complicated swinging arm mechanism. If the head and the tail need to swing at the same time, multiple sets of driving devices and transmission devices need to be provided, which is not conducive to saving costs, and is difficult to ensure synchronization of the head and the tail swinging.
