When in use, under the drive of themotor 6, the vane sweeps across the end-face of thebubble generating ring 31 to cause a thin film to be generated on the end-face of thebubble generating ring 31. - In one embodiment of the present invention, the
shell 1 is handgun-shaped, with amuzzle 101, atrigger guard 102, and agrip 11 provided at a front end, an intermediate portion, and a rear lower portion of theshell 1, respectively; thebubbler 3 is disposed inside themuzzle 101, themovable baffle 8 is disposed at a front side of themuzzle 101, and thetrigger 921 is inserted in thetrigger guard 102; and theliquid storage bottle 2 is mounted to a lower side of a front portion of theshell 1, while the power supply, themotor 6, and theliquid pump 41 are all mounted to thegrip 11. - The following is a brief description of the usage of one embodiment of the bubble toy: when in use, the switch can be turned on to supply power to the
motor 6, which drives theblower 5 and theliquid conveyor 4. At this time, theliquid pump 41 operates under the drive of the lower output shaft of themotor 6, extracts the bubble liquid in theliquid storage bottle 2 through the first liquid-conveying tube, and then conveys it to thebubbler 3 through the second liquid-conveying tube, forming a bubble film at the bubble outlet of thebubbler 3; At the same time, theimpeller 53 rotates under the drive of the upper output shaft of themotor 6 to form an airflow from front to back in the blowingchannel 52 and blow it to the bubble outlet of thebubbler 3, so that the bubble film at the bubble outlet of thebubbler 3 forms bubbles, realizing automatic and continuous blowing of many bubbles; when there is excess bubble liquid at the bubble outlet of thebubbler 3, the excess bubble liquid will be caught by theliquid recovery funnel 7 below, flow along the inner wall of theliquid recovery funnel 7 to the lower-end opening of theliquid recovery funnel 7, and then flow into theliquid storage bottle 2 to realize recycling. - The user can adjust the position of the
movable baffle 8 through theposition adjuster 9, change the area of the bubble outlet shielded by themovable baffle 8, and conveniently adjust the size of the blown bubbles. When it is necessary to reduce the size of the blown bubbles, the user can pull thetrigger 921 to drive theactuator 922 to move backward, so that theguide column 912 slides downward along theslot 9221, and then drive theswing frame 91 and themovable baffle 8 to swing downward around thepin 911, thus increasing the area of the bubble outlet shielded by themovable baffle 8 to reduce the size of the blown bubbles (when themovable baffle 8 swings downward to the lowest position around thepin 911, themovable baffle 8 completely shields the bubble outlet of thebubbler 3, and the bubbles generated by thebubbler 3 are the smallest and fly out of the cutout 81). When it is necessary to increase the size of the blown bubbles, the user slightly releases thetrigger 921, and thetrigger 921 and theactuator 922 move forward under the action of theelastic element 923, so as to drive theswing frame 91 and themovable baffle 8 to swing upward around thepin 911, thus reducing the area of the bubble outlet shielded by themovable baffle 8 to increase the size of the blown bubbles (when themovable baffle 8 swings upward to the highest position around thepin 911, themovable baffle 8 does not shield the bubble outlet at all, and the bubbles generated by thebubbler 3 are the largest). - In addition, it should be noted that the names of various parts in the specific embodiments described in the description may be different. All equivalent or simple changes made according to the structure, features and principles described in the concept of the present application are included in the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the technical field of the present application may make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the present application or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should also be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
