Abstract

A toy water ball includes at least two shells that are enclosable to form a water storage cavity, each of the shells including: a mounting frame, a magnetic member and a water pocket mounted on the mounting frame. The mounting frame includes a first surface and a second surface oppositely arranged in a thickness direction thereof. When the shells are enclosed to form the water storage cavity, magnetic members of adjacent shells attract each other, and second surfaces of adjacent shells abut each other. The mounting frame is provided with an accommodation groove, a notch of the accommodation groove is located on the first surface, the magnetic member is installed in the accommodation groove, and the water pocket is connected to the first surface, and covers the notch of the accommodation groove on the first surface to seal the magnetic member in the mounting frame.

Claims (25)

1. A toy water ball, comprising:

at least two shells that are enclosable to form a water storage cavity, each of the shells comprising:

a mounting frame, a magnetic member and a water pocket,

the mounting frame comprising a first surface and a second surface oppositely arranged in a thickness direction thereof,

the mounting frame being provided with an accommodation groove, a notch of the accommodation groove being located on the first surface,

the magnetic member being installed in the accommodation groove, and

the water pocket being connected to the first surface, and covering the notch of the accommodation groove on the first surface to seal the magnetic member in the mounting frame;

wherein when the shells are enclosed to form the water storage cavity, magnetic members at corresponding positions on mounting frames of adjacent shells attract each other, so that second surfaces of adjacent mounting frames abut each other.

2. The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein both the mounting frame and the water pocket are made of flexible materials.

3. The toy water ball according to claim 2 , wherein the mounting frame is further provided with a gap groove, the gap groove is arranged on a periphery of the magnetic member and a notch of the gap groove is located on the first surface, a surrounding edge is formed between the accommodation groove and the gap groove to surround the magnetic member, and the water pocket is provided with an embedded part embedded in the gap groove.

4. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein the gap groove is located at a position close to an end of the magnetic member, and two ends of the gap groove extend from a direction parallel to the end of the magnetic member and to turn to a direction of a side surface of the magnetic member.

5. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein the mounting frame further includes a limiting baffle, and the limiting baffle is arranged at the notch of the accommodation groove, and is opposite to a groove bottom of the accommodation groove.

6. The toy water ball according to claim 5 , wherein in a length direction of the accommodation groove, the limiting baffle is arranged at a middle position of the notch of the accommodation groove, so that a middle position of the magnetic member is covered by the limiting baffle, and two ends of the magnetic member are exposed from the notch of the accommodation groove.

7. The toy water ball according to claim 5 , wherein an adhesive layer is provided between the magnetic member and the accommodation groove.

8. The toy water ball according to claim 5 , wherein when the water pocket is connected to the first surface, a covering layer is formed on the first surface, and a thickness of the covering layer is ≥0.3 mm, a thickness from a bottom of the accommodation groove to the second surface is ≥0.3 mm, and a thickness of the mounting frame is ≥2 mm.

9. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein the gap groove comprises a first groove wall located on one side of the surrounding edge and a second groove wall opposite to the first groove wall, the mounting frame is further provided with a connection rib, and the connection rib connects the first groove wall and the second groove wall.

10. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein four corner positions of the magnetic member are all provided with gap grooves, and each gap groove is “L” shaped.

11. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein an edge of the magnetic member is provided with a round chamfer.

12. The toy water ball according to claim 3 , wherein an adhesive layer is provided between the magnetic member and the accommodation groove.
