Description

Inflatable cell assembly

The invention belongs to the technical field of expansion shaping of articles after inflation, and relates to an inflation shaping object with a special structure, in particular to an inflation unit assembly.

Existing inflatable shaped articles, for example: the balloon, the wheel inner tube, the swim ring, the inflatable plastic toy and the like are all composed of an air chamber and an air nozzle, and comprise a large inflatable molding object or mascot which is frequently used by people during the celebration. In the above-mentioned inflatable shaped articles, due to the structural limitation, the spatial expression form thereof cannot be freely adjusted and changed (except for the wheel tube whose shape is not required to be freely adjusted due to the specific use thereof), and generally, the air chambers thereof are communicated with each other, and if one part is damaged, the normal use of the whole body is affected.

The present invention is directed to an inflatable cell assembly that overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art.

The invention aims to provide an inflation unit assembly, which is characterized in that a gas chamber is used as a basic component, at least one positioning hole is arranged on the wall of the gas chamber, and a positioning framework is matched in the positioning hole.

The positioning hole can be closed or opened. The closed positioning holes can be further divided into through positioning holes and concave hole/groove type positioning holes, and if the positioning holes are open positioning holes, airtight connection between the positioning holes and the positioning framework must be guaranteed so as to guarantee the airtight performance of the air chamber.

In order to facilitate the gas to enter the air chamber, the wall of the air chamber can be simultaneously provided with an air tap, and the specific structure of the air tap can completely adopt the structural form of the common air tap in the prior art.

The positioning framework preferably adopts a hollow structure, and the positioning framework with the hollow structure has the following two outstanding advantages: firstly, the whole weight of the inflatable unit assembly can be effectively reduced, and the production cost of the inflatable unit assembly can be reduced; and secondly, the internal space of the positioning framework is favorably utilized, and corresponding devices are arranged in the internal space of the positioning framework, so that the ornamental value of the inflatable unit assembly and the object model formed by combining the inflatable unit assembly is further improved.

In the occasion that the positioning framework adopts a hollow structure, an air nozzle can be arranged at one end of the positioning framework exposed outside the air chamber, so that air can be conveniently sent into the air chamber under the condition that the air nozzle is not arranged on the wall of the air chamber, and at the moment, at least one air hole is required to be formed in the side wall of the positioning framework positioned inside the air chamber. The end of the positioning framework comprises the end top position.

In the case that the positioning frame is hollow and the two ends of the positioning frame are open, the air nozzle and the air hole of the positioning frame must be connected with an air pipe to ensure that air enters the air chamber.

In addition, when the positioning framework adopts a hollow structure, a conventional circuit or an electric appliance can be arranged in the positioning framework, such as: the device comprises a light-emitting circuit, a sound-producing circuit, a remote control circuit, a power supply, an air pump, a water pump or an air exhaust cooling circuit, and any one or any combination of the conventional circuit or the electric appliance can be adopted according to different requirements of a user in the specific production process. The addition of these conventional circuits or electrical devices can certainly improve the ornamental value of the inflatable unit assembly and the combined object model.

In order to facilitate the connection between the inflation unit assemblies, the two ends of the positioning frame are preferably respectively made into joints (such as connecting holes, connecting rings, connecting threads or connecting pins) for facilitating the connection, or corresponding connecting pieces can be additionally arranged at the connecting positions of the two ends of the positioning frame of the inflation unit assemblies to realize the connection between the inflation unit assemblies.

The air chamber or the positioning framework can adopt flexible, elastic or rigid materials, such as: rubber, plastic film, engineering plastic, resin, special cloth (including parachute cloth, water and air leakage preventing cloth, non-woven cloth), etc.

The inflatable unit assembly provided by the invention can have different appearance models, and different object models can be combined according to different requirements of users by using the inflatable unit assembly provided by the invention, so that the inflatable unit assembly is applied to various required fields such as large-sized children toys, celebration activities, advertising, cultural and sports activities, model making, mascot production and the like.
