At present, there are many classification methods for DIY toy products in the industry:
(1) According to production materials. That is, DIY toy products are classified based on their main production materials. Generally, DIY toy products can be divided into cloth velvet DIY toys, bamboo and wood DIY toys, plastic DIY toys, paper DIY toys, metal DIY toys, and so on. According to the production materials, the difficulty encountered is that some DIY toys are made with several materials at the same time, and the main production materials are not obvious. At the same time, when some DIY toys have more obvious features than the production materials in structure or function, they are classified according to the production materials. It seems inappropriate. Therefore, this classification method can only be used for some DIY toy products. It is customary to classify DIY toy products according to the production materials. The material characteristics of DIY toy products are more obvious, while other characteristics are not obvious. For example, the structure and function of DIY toys are not obvious.
(2) According to product function. DIY toys have a variety of functions. If a certain type of DIY toy has obvious functional characteristics, it can be classified according to the function. When categorizing according to use functions, it should be noted that the use functions of DIY toys are often divided into two levels: one is the use function at the material structure level; the other is the use function at the spiritual and cultural level. The latter level of functional analysis requires a richer experience and knowledge base in children's psychological science and behavioral science. Currently classified according to product functions, generally only focus on several main functions, such as electric (motorized) DIY toys, sound DIY toys, remote control DIY toys, riding DIY toys, ejection DIY toys, model DIY toys, doll DIY toys , Hand-made DIY toys, etc.
(3) According to product structure. That is, the main structure of DIY toy products is classified as a feature. For example, the inertial structure in motorized DIY toys can be divided into different structures such as friction start inertia, pull inertia, and rack pull inertia. Ejection DIY toys can be divided into energy storage structure and Non-energy storage structure, children's vehicles can be divided into front drive wheel structure, sprocket crank drive structure and electric drive structure. Classification by product structure is a more detailed classification, and generally requires that the product has obvious structural features or a general structure.
(4) According to the production process. The manufacturing process of DIY toy products is diverse. Commonly used processes are cold stamping of metal DIY toys, and injection molding of plastic DIY toys has no characteristics and will not be classified as a feature. Only the manufacturing process that has characteristics for a certain type of DIY toy will be used. As a classification basis, such as slush-molded DIY toys, blow-molded DIY toys, printed iron DIY toys, stuffed DIY toys, etc.
(5) According to the use object. The age span of DIY toy product users is very large. According to the growth stage, it can be divided into children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. The childhood stage can be divided into infants, toddlers and preschoolers and school-age children. This classification method is very meaningful for controlling the safety and quality of children's DIY toys. Scientifically judging the applicable age group of children's DIY toys is a topic that the DIY toy industry pays more attention to.
In addition, the classification methods of DIY toy products are classified according to product status or form (static DIY toys, dynamic DIY toys), and according to product development history (traditional DIY toys, modern DIY toys). Since the classification basis is different, it is inevitable that there will be overlap in the future classification. Currently exported DIY toy products are divided into 11 categories: cloth velvet DIY toys, bamboo and wood DIY toys, plastic DIY toys, riding DIY toys, strollers, electric DIY toys, paper DIY toys, stationery-like DIY toys, and software modeling DIY toys, ejection DIY toys, and metal DIY toys, of which 5 categories are classified according to the production materials, and the 6 categories are classified according to product functions.
