[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, when cover I and cover II are in the connected state, the lower edge of cover I and the upper edge of cover II abut and engage between the two positioning blocks.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, one of the magnet encapsulation parts is fixed at the position of cover I facing cover II, and a neodymium iron boron magnet block I is fixedly installed inside the magnet encapsulation part.

[0025] The above description of the main component symbols, together with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. Additional aspects and advantages of this utility model will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the utility model. It should be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the utility model.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment provides a snap-fit ​​structure for magnetic building blocks, which includes a cover body I1, a cover body II2, two magnet encapsulation parts 3, two positioning blocks 4, three positioning pins 5 fixedly installed on the cover body II2, a deformation part 6 fixed at the end of the corresponding positioning pin 5, a sleeve 7 adapted to the corresponding positioning pin 5, and a locking groove 8 through the sleeve 7.

[0029] The cover I1 is located above the cover II2, and both the cover I1 and the cover II2 have rounded edges. In this embodiment, both the cover I1 and the cover II2 are injection molded ABS plastic parts. The rounded edge design makes the edges of the cover I1 and the cover II2 smooth, so as to ensure the safety of children.

[0030] One of the magnet encapsulation parts 3 is fixed at the position of cover I1 facing cover II2, and a neodymium iron boron magnet block I is fixedly installed inside the magnet encapsulation part 3. The remaining magnet encapsulation part 3 is fixed at the position of cover II2 facing cover I1, and a neodymium iron boron magnet block II is fixedly installed inside the magnet encapsulation part 3. The neodymium iron boron magnet block I and the neodymium iron boron magnet block II are magnetically attracted to each other. When the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the corresponding sleeve 7 until the deformation part 6 protrudes from the locking groove 8, cover I1 and cover II2 are in a connected state. At this time, the two magnet encapsulation parts 3 abut against each other and form a closed cavity.

[0031] Two positioning blocks 4 are fixed on both sides of the cover II2. When the cover I1 and cover II2 are connected, the lower edge of cover I1 and the upper edge of cover II2 abut and engage between the two positioning blocks 4. In this embodiment, the two positioning blocks 4 ensure stable engagement of the edges, improving the alignment and fit of the snap-fit ​​structure during assembly.

[0032] Three positioning pins 5 are arranged around the magnet encapsulation part 3. The sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the cover I1. The deformable part 6 is fastened to the corresponding sleeve 7 through the locking groove 8. In this embodiment, the positioning pins 5, the deformable part 6 made of plastic, the sleeve 7 and the locking groove 8 are used in a fastening design to achieve structural self-locking, so that the buckle structure cannot be easily opened after being fastened, thereby achieving the effect of preventing accidental disassembly and effectively preventing the risk of children accidentally swallowing the magnets, thus improving the safety of using magnetic building blocks. The specific fastening process is as follows: the positioning pins 5 are inserted into the corresponding sleeves 7 until the deformable part 6 is exposed in the locking groove 8 to achieve compression. At this time, the positioning pins 5 and the sleeves 7 are in a firm connection state, and due to the restriction of the deformable part 6 by the locking groove 8, the buckle structure in the connection state cannot be easily disassembled without damaging the structure. The neodymium iron boron magnet block I and neodymium iron boron magnet block II are always in the closed cavity formed by the two magnet encapsulation parts 3, thereby effectively preventing the magnets from falling off.

[0033] Two building block bodies are assembled into a building block module via a snap-fit ​​structure. Cover I1 is fixedly installed on one of the building block bodies, and cover II2 is fixedly installed on the remaining building block body. The snap-fit ​​structure designed in this embodiment serves as a connector, suitable for modular assembly of large building block structures, such as those with a side length of 33cm or larger. The assembled building block module is structurally stable, has good anti-disassembly properties, overcomes the safety hazard of magnets falling off due to drops or collisions, prevents children from accidentally swallowing the blocks, and is relatively safe and durable, making it more suitable for use in kindergartens, educational institutions, public play areas, and similar locations.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
