Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of puzzle toy technology, and more particularly to a novel DIY three-dimensional puzzle toy. Background Technology

[0002] Existing mushroom peg puzzle toys typically consist of a pegboard and mushroom pegs. Children can assemble them according to pre-designed patterns or use their imagination to create their own. A traditional mushroom peg toy, such as the "Multi-functional Pixel Art Toy" provided by Chinese Patent CN207412734U, has several through holes on the drawing board, and connecting posts at the bottom of the mushroom pegs that connect to the through holes. Children can insert the mushroom pegs directly into the drawing board to create different pixel art pieces. However, the pictures created by existing mushroom peg toys are primarily two-dimensional and cannot display three-dimensional effects, resulting in poor visual appeal. Furthermore, the difficulty of the puzzle cannot be adjusted according to the child's ability, making it impractical and requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a novel DIY 3D jigsaw puzzle toy.

[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this utility model provides a novel DIY 3D jigsaw puzzle toy, comprising a pegboard and multiple thumbtacks. The pegboard has multiple through holes into which the thumbtacks can be inserted. The inner side of the pegboard has multiple locking seats at positions corresponding to the through holes. Each locking seat extends downwards corresponding to the through holes and includes at least one locking plate. The locking plate is elastically movable and has locking blocks on its inner side. Each thumbtack includes a fixedly connected drawing board and a rod. The rod has multiple grooves spaced apart along the insertion direction. When the rod is inserted into a through hole, any of the grooves can engage with the locking blocks as the rod moves within the through hole, allowing the drawing board to be exposed at different heights on the pegboard.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the insert rod is further provided with a protrusion between the groove and the drawing plate, and the protrusion is in contact with the surface of the nail plate.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, each side of the nail plate extends outward and is provided with a support plate. The support plate is disposed on the same side as the card holder, and multiple support plates and the nail plate enclose each other to form a receiving groove that can accommodate multiple thumbtacks.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the height of the support plate is greater than or equal to the length of the protrusion from the end of the insertion rod.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the card holder further includes a seat body protruding from the outer periphery of the through hole in a manner surrounding the through hole, the end of the seat body extending outwardly to provide the card plate, and an movable gap being provided between any two spaced card plates.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the drawing board is integrally formed and disposed at one end of the insertion rod. The side of the drawing board opposite to the insertion rod is provided as a smooth arc surface or plane, and the arc surface or plane is painted with color or pattern.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the device also includes an extractor, which comprises an extractor cylinder and a handle fixed to one end of the extractor cylinder. The extractor cylinder has a hollow structure and an opening at the other end that matches the shape of the drawing board. At least two movable plates are provided on the side wall of the extractor cylinder corresponding to the opening. The movable plates are elastically movable and have a pull-out block on their inner side that can contact and hold the drawing board.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the depth of the extraction tube is greater than or equal to the maximum height of the drawing plate from the nail plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the axial distance between any two adjacent through holes is equal to or greater than the sum of the width of the drawing plate and the thickness of the movable plate.

[0013] Therefore, based on the technical means of this utility model, the effects that this utility model can achieve are briefly described as follows: The novel DIY 3D puzzle toy provided by this utility model has improved the structure of both the pegboard and the thumbtack. By setting a card holder on the pegboard, with each card holder corresponding to a through hole, the card holder on the card holder can be flexibly moved and has a locking block. At the same time, by setting multiple grooves arranged sequentially and at intervals along the insertion direction on the thumbtack's insertion rod, when the thumbtack is inserted into the through hole, the locking action between the groove and the locking block at any position allows the thumbtack's pattern to be exposed on the pegboard at different heights. This allows for adjustment of the thumbtack's height to present different 3D effects, improving the visual appeal of the puzzle pattern. Furthermore, since the height of the thumbtack on the pegboard is adjustable, this puzzle toy can be used for both flat and 3D puzzle play, enabling a transition between beginner (flat) and advanced (3D) play. It offers diverse play options and allows children to choose different levels of difficulty according to their age, making it more playable and practical. Attached Figure Description

The terminology used in this specification of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a novel DIY 3D puzzle toy, including a pegboard 1 and multiple thumbtacks 2. The pegboard 1 has multiple through holes 11, and the thumbtacks 2 can be inserted into the through holes 11, so that children can assemble according to the pre-designed pattern, or use their imagination to assemble some patterns they like.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inner side of the nail plate 1 is provided with multiple retaining seats 12 at positions corresponding to the through holes 11. Each retaining seat 12 extends downwards corresponding to one through hole 11. In this embodiment, the retaining seat 12 includes a base body 121 protruding from the outer periphery of the through hole 11 in a manner surrounding the through hole 11. The end of the base body 121 extends outwards with a retaining plate 122, and an movable gap 123 is provided between any two retaining plates 122. The number of retaining plates 122 is at least one, and each retaining plate 122 is elastically movable. Each retaining plate 122 has a retaining block 1221 on its inner side. It can be understood that the base body 121 can improve the connection strength between the retaining plate 122 and the inner wall of the nail plate 1, reduce the probability of the retaining plate 122 breaking and detaching from the nail plate 1 due to frequent swinging of the retaining plate 122, thereby improving the service life of the nail plate 1. Because the retaining plate 122 has the ability to move elastically, when the thumbtack 2 is inserted into the through hole 11, the insertion rod of the thumbtack 2 can contact the retaining block 1221 and push the retaining block 1221 to cause the retaining plate 122 to deform and swing, thereby allowing the insertion rod of the thumbtack 2 to move back and forth within the retaining seat 12. To improve the structural stability of the retaining seat 12, the number of retaining plates 122 is set to four, and the four retaining plates 122 are arranged on the base 121 in a manner that matches the shape of the quadrilateral through hole 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the retaining plates 122 can be directly fixed to the outer periphery of the through hole 11, in which case the retaining seat 12 does not have a base 121. If the shape of the through hole 11 is circular or other polygonal, the number and distribution of the retaining plates 122 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0024] In this embodiment, each side of the nail plate 1 extends outward with a support plate 13. The support plate 13 is disposed on the same side as the card holder 12, and multiple support plates 13 and the nail plate 1 enclose a receiving groove 130 that can accommodate multiple thumbtacks 2, thereby improving the practicality of the puzzle toy during use. It can be understood that the height of the support plate 13 is greater than or equal to the length of the protrusion of the thumbtack 2 from its insertion end. This is to ensure that when the support plate 13 supports the nail plate 1 on a flat surface, the insertion of the thumbtack 2 into the insertion hole 11 does not affect the game effect and experience due to the insertion of the insertion rod touching the ground. Of course, in other embodiments, the nail plate 1 may not have a support plate 13. In this case, the nail plate 1 can be suspended and fixed on the flat surface by other fasteners such as screws. At the same time, the height of the support plate 13 can also be set to be less than the length of the protrusion of the thumbtack 2 from its insertion end. In this case, the nail plate 1 still has a receiving groove 130, and the support plate 13 can be placed on two separate flat surfaces during use.

[0025] The thumbtack 2 includes a drawing plate 21 and a stick 22 that are fixedly connected. In this embodiment, the drawing plate 21 is integrally formed and disposed at one end of the stick 22. The side of the drawing plate 21 opposite to the stick 22 is set as a smooth plane, and the plane is painted with colors or patterns. Children can insert multiple thumbtacks 2 with different colors or patterns onto the thumbtack plate 1 to play games and thus assemble shapes. Of course, in other embodiments, the side of the drawing plate 21 opposite to the stick 22 can also be set as a curved surface. At the same time, the drawing plate 21 can be detachably connected to the stick 22, such as magnetic connection, snap-on connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0026] The insertion rod 22 is provided with a plurality of grooves 221 spaced apart along the insertion direction. The spacing between any two adjacent grooves 221 is the same (or they can be different). In this embodiment, to improve ease of use, the grooves 221 are set as annular grooves surrounding the insertion rod 22. It can be understood that the shape of the insertion rod 22 matches the shape of the through hole 11. When the insertion rod 22 is inserted into the through hole 11, any groove 221 can engage with the locking block 1221 as the insertion rod 22 moves within the through hole 11, so that the insertion rod 22 can be fixed to the insertion hole 11 at a specific length, thereby allowing the drawing plate 21 to be exposed on the nail plate 1 at different heights. In order to limit the minimum height of the drawing plate 21 on the nail plate 1, and to facilitate the use of the extractor 3, the insertion rod 22 is also provided with a protrusion 222 between the groove 221 and the drawing plate 21. The protrusion 222 can be abutted against the surface of the nail plate 1. That is, when the groove 221 adjacent to the protrusion 222 engages with the locking block 1221, the protrusion 222 abuts against the surface of the nail plate 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the groove 221 may be formed only on the corresponding side of the insertion rod 22 corresponding to the position of the locking plate 122. At the same time, the protrusion 222 may not be provided on the insertion rod 22.

[0027] The extractor 3 includes an extractor cylinder 31 and a handle 32 fixed to one end of the extractor cylinder 31. The extractor cylinder 31 has a hollow structure and an opening 311 at the other end that matches the shape of the drawing plate 21. At least two movable plates 312 are provided on the sidewall of the extractor cylinder 31 corresponding to the opening 311. The movable plates 312 are elastically movable and have a pull-out block 313 on their inner side that can contact and engage with the drawing plate 21. In this embodiment, the depth of the extractor cylinder 31 is greater than or equal to the maximum height of the drawing plate 21 from the nail plate 1. This design ensures that even when the drawing plate 21 is at its highest position, the extractor cylinder will not push the nail 2 to move, thus preventing any impact on the nail 2's placement position, making the use of the extractor cylinder 31 safer and more convenient. It is understood that the axial distance between any two adjacent through holes 11 is equal to or greater than the sum of the width of the drawing plate 21 and the thickness of the movable plate 312, and the pull-out block 313 is located at the opening 311. The above-described configuration allows the extraction cylinder 31 to be fitted onto any thumbtack 2 during use. At this point, the pulling block 313 contacts the drawing plate 21, causing the movable plate 312 to open elastically. This allows the pulling block 313 to pass through the drawing plate 21 and then return to its original position. The extractor 3 can then be lifted outwards using the handle 32, allowing the pulling block 313 to move until it contacts and locks the drawing plate 21, thus applying force to pull the thumbtack 2 out of the through hole 11. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the depth of the extraction cylinder 31 can be less than the maximum height of the drawing plate 21 from the nail plate 1. In this case, during use, the extraction cylinder 31 will push the thumbtack 2 within the through hole 11 until the extraction cylinder 31 contacts the nail plate 1, and then the extractor 3 can be pulled outwards, achieving the same effect of pulling out the thumbtack 2.

[0028] For clarity, certain features described in individual embodiments of the present invention may be used in combination in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in individual embodiments may also be used individually or in any suitable form in sub-combinations.
