The present disclosure relates to the technical field of entertainment toys, in particular to a toy water ball.
Water ball is an indispensable part among swimming pool toys and is also a frolicking toy for outdoor water fights. The water ball is played in the following way: putting the water ball into water, opening the water ball, filling an inner cavity of the water ball with water, then closing the water ball to form a water ball body filled with water, and throwing the toy water ball filled with water against other players. After the toy water ball hits another player, the toy water ball is exploded due to a collision force, and the hit player gets wet by the water from the exploded water ball. Players can avoid the flying water ball as much as possible. This game is truly a cool and safe summer entertainment activity.
Based on the above requirements, disposable balloons are usually used to be filled with water in a water fight game. However, a disposable balloon cannot be repeatedly used once it is broken. If many people play this game in an outdoor environment, there will be disposable balloon fragments everywhere in a playing area. If they are not disposed in time, these disposable balloon fragments easily affect the beauty of the environment and will cause environmental pollutions. In addition, when the disposable balloons are used as water balls, water is injected into a balloon by virtue of a water pressure to form a water ball. Therefore, an auxiliary tool is needed or an entertainment environment is required to have a water faucet. This is inconvenient when people play a water fight game on suburban grasslands, sea sides, river bands, or places with water. However, it is hard to expand a balloon directly by injecting water under a normal atmosphere. Therefore, it is hard for a water source in a natural environment to fill a balloon with water and expand the balloon on site without a water pressure. As a result, environments for playing are limited. Of course, there are toy water balls with magnetic structures at present, but costs of using a magnetic structure are high. Furthermore, a magnetic element is embedded in a ball body and easily falls off. Certain safety risks will be posed to the player if the falling magnetic element hits a player after high-speed movement.
The present disclosure aims to provide a toy water ball, and aims at solving the above technical problems.
In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the present disclosure is implemented by the following technical solution:
A toy water ball includes a first shell, a second shell and a vertical guide column structure; the first shell and the second shell are fastened to each other to form a closed water accommodating cavity; and the vertical guide column structure is arranged in the middle of an inner bottom of the second shell.
Preferably, the vertical guide column structure includes a vertical guide column; one end of the vertical guide column is provided with a clamping portion; the vertical guide column is detachably clamped to the middle of the inner bottom of the second shell through the clamping portion; and the other end of the vertical guide column is provided with a flying ring, a hand shank or a limiting knot.
Preferably, a clamping slot is formed in the middle of the inner bottom of the second shell; an internal shape of the clamping slot matches an internal shape of the clamping portion of the vertical guide column; and an outer diameter of the clamping portion of the vertical guide column is greater than an inner diameter of the clamping slot.
Preferably, the vertical guide column structure includes a vertical guide column; one end of the vertical guide column is fixed in the middle of the inner bottom of the second shell and is integrated with the second shell; and the other end of the vertical guide column is provided with a flying ring, a hand shank or a limiting knot.
Preferably, a vertical column via hole is formed in the middle of an upper top of the first shell.
Preferably, the vertical guide column structure includes a vertical guide column; one end of the vertical guide column is fixed in the middle of the inner bottom of the second shell and is integrated with the second shell; and the other end of the vertical guide column is formed into a guide plugging portion; and
Preferably, a connector is further arranged on outer sides of the first shell and the second shell; and one end of the connector is fixedly connected with the first shell, and the other end is fixedly connected with the second shell.
Preferably, a first shell fastening portion is arranged on an inner side surface of an open end of the first shell; and a raised second shell fastening portion is arranged at an open end of the second shell.
Preferably, the first shell, the second shell and the vertical guide column are all made of a soft silica gel material.
The toy water ball of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:
1. The toy water ball has a simple structure. The toy water ball of the present disclosure mainly includes the first shell, the second shell and the vertical guide column structure, so that there are a few of components, and the structure is simple.
2. The toy water ball can be repeatedly used. The first shell, the second shell and the vertical guide column are all made of the soft silica gel material, and are connected using detachable fastening structures, so that the toy water ball can be repeatedly used. On the one hand, the cost for entertainment of a player can be reduced, and on the other hand, use of balloons can be reduced or avoided, which avoids balloon fragments from affecting the beauty of the environment and avoids environmental pollutions.
3. The toy water ball is convenient to use. During use, the toy water ball is put into water after being opened. After the cavity is filled with water, the first shell and the second shell are fastened to form the toy water ball filled with water. When the water ball is thrown out and collided, the first shell and the second shell may be automatically separated and opened under a collision force, and the water may be splashed to the body of a player, so that the player gets wet. In this way, an additional auxiliary tool is not needed, and a playing environment does not need to have a water faucet. The toy water ball cannot be limited by environments.
4. The potential safety hazard is reduced. The whole toy water ball of the present disclosure is made of the silica gel material. The first shell and the second shell are fastened, instead of using a magnetic structure, so that a phenomenon that a magnetic part falls off can be effectively avoided, which in turn avoids a certain potential safety hazard to a player caused by a fact that a falling magnetic structure after high-speed movement hits the player.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the following is a further detailed description of a product of the present disclosure in combination with embodiments and accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that when an element is referred to as “fixed to” another element, it can either be directly on another element or there can be a centered element. When an element is considered to be “connected” to another element, it can be directly connected to another element or there may be a centered element. The terms “perpendicular”, “horizontal”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only, and are not meant to be the only implementations.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein are the same as meanings of general understandings of those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the description of the present disclosure herein are merely to describe the specific implementation modes, not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and/or” used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
Embodiment I: As shown in
It should be noted that in the toy water ball of the present disclosure, the first shell 1, the second shell 2 and the vertical guide column structure 3 are all made of the soft silica gel material which is soft and good in elasticity. During mounting, the clamping portion 302 of the vertical guide column 301 is plugged into the clamping slot 202 of the second shell 2. The outer diameter of the clamping portion 302 of the vertical guide column 301 is greater than the inner diameter of the clamping slot 202, so that the clamping portion 302 can be compressed and squeezed to be clamped in the clamping slot 202 due to its elasticity, and the clamping portion 302 and the clamping slot 202 are in interference fit. In this way; the second shell 2 can be lifted by using the vertical guide column 301. The flying ring, hand shank or limiting knot 303 is threaded through the vertical column via hole in the middle of the top of the first shell 1. The outer diameter of the clamping portion 302 of the vertical guide column 301 is at least twice a diameter of the vertical column via hole 101 of the first shell 1, so that even if the vertical guide column 301 is separated from the second shell 2, the clamping portion 302 of the vertical guide column 301 will usually not pass through the vertical column via hole 101 of the first shell 1, which can ensure that the whole water ball can be directly lifted by using the flying ring or hand shank.
Embodiment II: As shown in
It should be noted that in the toy water ball of the present disclosure, the first shell 1, the second shell 2 and the vertical guide column structure 3 are all made of the soft silica gel material which is soft and good in elasticity. During mounting, the silica gel material is soft, so that the flying ring, hand shank or limiting knot 303 at the tail end of the guide vertical column 301 can be directly threaded through the vertical column via hole 101 in the middle of the top of the first shell 1. When the tail end of the vertical guide column 301 adopts the limiting knot, a diameter of the limiting knot is greater than that of the vertical column via hole 101, so that the limiting knot can be compressed to pass through the vertical column via hole 101 due to the elasticity of the silica gel. After passing through the via hole, the limiting knot recovers its original shape, which can achieve an effect of preventing the first shell 1 from being separated and flying out. A total length of the vertical guide column 301 is greater than a diameter of a ball body formed by the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, so that it can be ensured that the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can be separated or be fastened into a whole.
Embodiment III: As shown in
It should be noted that when the plugging portion 304 of the vertical guide column 301 is plugged into the guide plugging pipe 103, the vertical guide column 301 and the guide plugging pipe 103 can be in transition or interference fit. Furthermore, the vertical guide column 301 and the guide plugging pipe 103 provide a guide effect for the combination of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, so that the whole formed by fastening the first shell 1 to the second shell 2 is more accurate and effective. The arrangement of the connector 4 can effectively restrict a separation degree between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, so that it is convenient for a user to quickly combine the shells for repeated use.
A use process of the toy water ball is as follows: During use, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are opened and are then put into water. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are then closed after being filled with water. The two shells abut against each other to form a ball body with the flying ring or hand shank, and the water is reserved. A user can lift the water ball with a finger through the flying ring or lift the water ball by means of the hand shank, and throw out the water ball, or can directly grasp the ball body portion and throw it out. When the water ball is collided, the two shells will be separated under the impact of the water, and the water bursts out, to achieve an entertainment effect.
