[0027] The following description is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the scope of the application as defined by the appended claims. Furthermore, there is no intention that the examples represent an exhaustive list of possibilities. Numerous modifications, equivalents, and alternatives are possible in light of the above teachings. The description defined by the claims shall control in case of any ambiguity.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a building block 1, in particular a building block 1 in the shape of a cube and easy to disassemble, which is a light-weight, small-volume, easy-to-store and easy-to-transport children's educational toy. Specifically, the building block 1 comprises four single components 10 and eight magnetic spheres 20.
[0029] Each single component 10 comprises a first connecting rod 11, a second connecting rod 12, and a third connecting rod 13. The first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12, and the third connecting rod 13 are sequentially connected to form a "F" shape. The first connecting rod 11 has a first insertion part 111 at its end, and the third connecting rod 13 also has a first insertion part 131 at its end; that is, the ends of the first connecting rod 11 and the third connecting rod 13 each have a first insertion part. The second connecting rod 12 has a second insertion part 121 extending perpendicularly at each end, and each second insertion part 121 has an insertion hole 1211.
[0030] The two first insertion parts 111, 131 of each single component 10 are inserted one by one into the insertion holes 1211 of the two second insertion parts 121 of another single component 10, so that the four single components 10 are assembled into a cuboid shape.
[0031] One magnetic sphere 20 is placed in each insertion hole 1211, so that the number of magnetic spheres 20 is eight. All the magnetic spheres are inserted one by one into the insertion holes 1211 of the second insertion parts 121 and are fixed by the reverse buckles 123, so that the magnetic spheres 20 cannot be taken out of the insertion holes 1211. In this way, the magnetic spheres 20 are located between the first insertion parts 111 and the second insertion parts 121. In particular, the lengths of the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12, and the third connecting rod 13 are equal, so that the four single components 10 are assembled into a cuboid shape, that is, the building block 1 is in the shape of a cube.
[0032] Further, at least one of the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12 and the third connecting rod 13 has a plurality of spaced-apart partitions. For example, in the present embodiment, the first connecting rod 11 has 4-5 spaced-apart partitions 112, each adjacent two of which form a clamping slot 1101; the second connecting rod 12 has 4-5 spaced-apart partitions 122, each adjacent two of which form a clamping slot 1201; and the third connecting rod 13 has 4-5 spaced-apart partitions 132, each adjacent two of which form a clamping slot 1301. The clamping slots 1101, 1201 and 1301 can be used to insert other additional components, such as components used to assemble tracks, so that a plurality of the building blocks 1 can be stacked to form a multi-layer structure and form continuous tracks between the building blocks 1, and a ball can be placed at one end of the tracks formed by the stacking, and the ball can move along the tracks between the building blocks 1 and slide out of the other end of the tracks, thereby becoming an interesting and educational toy for children.
[0033] As shown in Figures 6-10 According to another aspect of the present application, the present application further provides a track building block toy comprising the aforementioned building block 1, which is an educational toy for children. Specifically, the track building block toy comprises a plurality of the building blocks 1 and a plurality of tracks 2.
[0034] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 A plurality of the building blocks 1 are stacked together by the magnetic spheres 20, and the magnetic spheres 20 inside the top points of each of the two building blocks that are adjacent in space and in contact with each other are attracted to each other, so that all the building blocks 1 cannot be scattered. In this way, regardless of the number of building blocks 1, all the building blocks 1 can be attracted and stacked together by the magnetic spheres 20. Different numbers of building blocks 1 can be stacked to form different spatial structures.
[0035] The bottom of each track 2 has a plurality of insertion parts 21 which are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the track 2. The track 2 is inserted and fixed to the building block 1 through the insertion parts 21 thereof. Specifically, at least one of the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12 and the third connecting rod 13 has a plurality of interval distributed spacers, a clamping groove is formed between adjacent spacers of the building block 1, and each insertion part 21 of the track 2 is correspondingly inserted into the clamping groove of the building block 1, so that all the tracks 2 are sequentially communicated and meander through the inside of each building block 1. In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12 and the third connecting rod 13 of the building block all have a plurality of interval distributed spacers, wherein the first connecting rod 11 has a plurality of clamping grooves 1101, the second connecting rod 12 has a plurality of clamping grooves 1201, and the third connecting rod 13 has a plurality of clamping grooves 1301, and the clamping grooves 1101, 1201 and 1301 are respectively located at different spatial positions. When different shaped tracks 2 are inserted into the building block 1, according to the different shapes of the track 2, each insertion part 21 at different positions of the track 2 can be selectively inserted into different clamping grooves of the building block 1. In this way, all the tracks 2 are sequentially communicated and assembled into a complete track meandering through the inside of each building block 1.
[0036] As shown in Figure 8 , the track building block toy further comprises at least one insertion plate frame 3, each insertion plate frame 3 is placed on the top of one of the building blocks 1. The insertion plate frame 3 is rectangular, and each of the four sides of the insertion plate frame 3 has a plurality of interval distributed spacers 31, so that a clamping groove 301 is formed between each adjacent two spacers 31, for the insertion and fixation of the insertion part 21 of the track 2, so that at least one track 2 is arranged on the top of the insertion plate frame 3. It should be noted that Figure 8 four insertion plate frames 3 are shown in Figure 8 only a part of the track building block toy is shown, and the plurality of building blocks 1 at the bottom are not shown in the figure.
[0037] In Figure 8 , the plurality of insertion plate frames 3 are correspondingly placed on the top of the plurality of building blocks 1, and the positions of each insertion plate frame 3 can be different in height, and the heights of the plurality of insertion parts 21 at the bottom of the track 2 arranged on the top of the insertion plate frame 3 are also different, so that the height of the track 2 gradually decreases from one end to the other end.
[0038] As shown in Figure 10As shown, the track building blocks further comprise a ball launcher 4 arranged inside one of the building blocks 1 and in communication with the track 2. In use, the ball launcher 4 can launch balls to the track 2, which are then sequentially snaked down the track 2 and travel inside the stacked building blocks 1, and finally slide out from the other end of the track 2. The track building blocks provided by the present application can be assembled into different spatial configurations through different numbers of building blocks 1, different numbers and shapes of tracks 2, and different assembly manners, which greatly creates playability and is very helpful for the development of children. On the other hand, the building blocks 1 can be disassembled into four single components 10, which are made of plastic and are light and small in size. The single components 10 are attracted together by magnetic spheres 20, and this connection manner is very convenient for disassembly. The track 2 can also be disassembled into multiple segments, and the insertion plate frame 3 and the ball launcher 4 can also be detached from the building blocks 1. Therefore, the entire track building blocks can be packed into a very small package, which is convenient for storage and carrying.
[0039] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above description and the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present application. The purpose of the present application has been fully and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present application has been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present application can be modified and changed in any way without departing from the principles.
