Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic building blocks, and in particular to an electronic building block sensor interface module and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing electronic building blocks can be used as extracurricular teaching materials for primary and secondary school students, and can also be used as experimental guidance for electronic technology. Electronic building blocks can be assembled from the simplest to the most complex, and various interesting and practical circuits can be quickly assembled. Every time a circuit is assembled, the sound, light, and electricity effects produced by the building block circuit assembled by the electronic building blocks can be heard or seen immediately, so that children can easily understand the originally boring principles of electricity, acoustics, optics, and magnetism in textbooks during assembly and disassembly, and enter the mysterious electronic world.

[0003] Electronic building blocks controlled by PCB boards are now widely used in toys or teaching. PCB boards can be equipped with a series of sensors such as infrared distance and sound to enable electronic building blocks to have more diverse control functions. However, as the functions of electronic building blocks become more and more powerful, the circuits involved become more and more complex. It is impossible to assemble more powerful electronic products by simply assembling small electronic building block modules containing a small number of electronic components. At the same time, the electronic building blocks currently using direct plug-in connections have a limited number of interfaces, resulting in a large number of external connecting wires, which increases the difficulty of assembly between each other and also increases the failure rate of electronic building block products after assembly. Traditional electronic building block sensor interface modules cannot be directly and effectively combined with Lego blocks or Lego-like building block products. Due to the different shapes of electronic products, it is troublesome to assemble and build with Lego blocks or Lego-like blocks; and the structure is complex, making it difficult to achieve modular standardized production; intermediate adapter modules are often required for connection, which increases the learning cost for students, and even after successful installation, the overall Lego block or Lego-like block structure will be complicated and bloated, with poor overall stability; therefore, the electronic block sensor interface module combined with Lego blocks or Lego-like block products in the related art has many inconveniences in course development and teaching.
