- Referring to
FIG. 1 toFIG. 6 , embodiments of the present disclosure provides a water sliding device. The water sliding device includes: a slidingportion 100, awater pipe 200 disposed on the slidingportion 100, abumper 300 and awater spray apparatus 400. - In some embodiments, the sliding
portion 100 may include: anupper sheet 101 and alower sheet 102. Edges of theupper sheet 101 and edges of thelower sheet 102 may be connected, theupper sheet 101 and thelower sheet 102 may define a first chamber adapted to be filled with air or water. - In some embodiments, a top surface of the
upper sheet 101 may serve as a slidingsurface 103 of the slidingportion 100. The slidingsurface 103 refers to a surface of the sliding portion suitable for a user sliding thereon. - In
FIG. 2 , the first chamber is shown as being filled with air or water. In this case, the slidingportion 100 is inflated. Accordingly, when the user slides on the slidingsurface 103 of the slidingportion 100, since the slidingportion 100 is inflated, theupper sheet 101 and thelower sheet 102 of the slidingportion 100 are distanced from each other, the user can be prevented from being hurt by objects (e.g., stones) on the ground. Therefore, a safety of the water sliding device can be enhanced. - In some embodiments, the sliding
portion 100 may be configured into a single-layer structure. In other words, the slidingportion 100 may not have the first chamber. For example, the slidingportion 100 may include only one piece of flexible sheet. In this case, the water sliding device is optionally being used on a smooth ground. - In some embodiments, the edges of the
upper sheet 101 and the edges of thelower sheet 102 may be connected together by a way of welding. For example, the edges of theupper sheet 101 and the edges of thelower sheet 102 may be welded together by high-frequency welding. - In some embodiments, the
upper sheet 101 and thelower sheet 102 of the slidingportion 100 may be made of flexible thermoplastic material, such as, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PU (Polyurethane), etc. - Moreover, in order to make the first chamber of the sliding
portion 100 be filled with air or water, an air valve or a water valve may be disposed on the slidingportion 100. - It should be noted that, in the embodiments shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the slidingportion 100 is shown having a rectangle shape, which is just for exemplarily illustrating the slidingportion 100. In other words, the shape of the slidingportion 100 of the water sliding device is not limited to the rectangle shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 . The slidingportion 100 may be configured having a square shape or an irregular shape, as long as the user can slide on the slidingportion 100. - In some embodiments, the

That is to say, thefirst water pipe 201 may be disposed at an edge part of the slidingportion 100. For example, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , twofirst water pipes 201 are disposed along the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107, respectively. - In some embodiments, a number of the
first water pipe 201 may be set to be one. The onefirst water pipe 201 may be disposed between the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107 of the slidingportion 100, so that the slidingportion 100 can be divided into two sliding paths (e.g., thefirst water pipe 201 shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 4 ) by thefirst water pipe 201. Or, the onefirst water pipe 201 may be disposed along the edge of the sliding portion 100 (e.g., along the firstlateral edge 106 or the second lateral edge 107). - In some embodiments, the number of the
first water pipe 201 may be set to be two. The twofirst water pipes 201 may be disposed along the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107 of the slidingportion 100, respectively (e.g., thefirst water pipes 201 shown inFIG. 3 ). Or, the twofirst water pipes 201 may be both disposed between the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107, so that the slidingpotion 100 can be divided into three sliding paths by the twofirst water pipes 201. Or, the twofirst water pipes 201 may have one being disposed along the firstlateral edge 106 or the secondlateral edge 107, and another one being disposed between the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107. - In some embodiments, the number of the
first water pipe 201 may be set to be more than two. Any one of the more than twofirst water pipes 201 may be disposed along the firstlateral edge 106 or the secondlateral edge 107, or be disposed between the firstlateral edge 106 and the secondlateral edge 107. - In some embodiments, when the number of the
first water pipe 201 is more than one, the more than one firstwater spray pipe 201 may be arranged in intervals. - In some embodiments, the
water pipe 200 may further include asecond water pipe 202.

In some embodiments, thefirst water pipe 201 may be configured communicating with the water source via theinlet pipe 500. - In some embodiments, the
water pipe 200 may be configured with a plurality of water spray holes 204. When thewater pipe 200 communicates with the water source, water from the water source can flow into thewater pipe 200 and spout out from the water spray holes 204. Further, water spouted out from the water spray holes 204 can wet the slidingsurface 103 of the slidingportion 100. Therefore, a friction of the slidingsurface 103 can be reduced, which can make it easy for the user sliding on the slidingsurface 103. - In some embodiments, the
water pipe 200 may be configured as followed: only thefirst water pipe 201 is provided with the water spray holes 204. Further, thefirst water pipe 201 may run through the slidingportion 100, as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , thefirst water pipe 201 runs from an edge of the startingend 104 of the slidingportion 100 to an edge of thedestination end 105 of the slidingportion 100.
