Specifically, the extension distance of the second assembly groove 32 can just match half of the first assembly boss 11.

[0040] During the assembly process, a second building block element 2 is inserted into each of the two cavities of the first building block element 1, and first locking building block elements 3 are installed on the four faces of the first building block element 1, so as to form a basic part, which can be used to continue to connect and build a building block structure. Fig.11 The assembled number-shaped building block structure shown.

[0041] In addition, with the constructed building block structure as the skeleton, other components can be installed on the building block structure, such as wheels, motors, sensors and circuit boards. Patterns, colors, texts and shapes can also be decorated on the surface of the building block structure. The building block structure can also be used as a skeleton to sculpt clay or connect modeling parts on it. Drawing paper can also be introduced and pasted on the building block structure to decorate the building block structure into a three-dimensional building block entity. Colors, drawings and words can be added on the drawing paper, and hands-on writing and drawing exercises can be integrated into toy games.

[0042] See also Fig. 9 , Fig.10 In addition, the building block assembly further includes a fifth building block element 7, the end surface of the fifth building block element 7 is provided with a fifth through hole 71, and the side wall of the fifth building block element 7 is provided with at least three plug-in interfaces 72, each plug-in interface 72 is used to plug in the second building block element 2, specifically, the upper and lower end surfaces of the fifth building block element 7 are provided with fifth through holes 71, the interior of the fifth building block element 7 is a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the fifth building block element 7 is provided with a second assembly boss 73, and the second building block element 2 is inserted into the plug-in interface 72, so that the second assembly boss 73 is matched and connected with the first assembly groove 21, for example Fig. 9 , Fig.10In the fifth building block element 7 shown, the side wall of the fifth building block element 7 is provided with three plug-in ports 72. When the second building block elements 2 are respectively plugged into the three plug-in ports 72, a three-way square tube structure can be formed. Of course, four plug-in ports 72 can also be provided on the side wall of the fifth building block element 7 to form a cross-shaped structure. In this way, when the second building block elements 2 are inserted into the four plug-in ports 72, a cross-shaped square tube structure can be formed.

[0043] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the building block assembly further includes a second locking building block element 4, which has a flat plate 41 and a second locking protrusion 42 provided on one side of the flat plate 41. Specifically, one side of the flat plate 41 has four second locking protrusions 42. During use, the four second locking protrusions 42 can be embedded in the aligned first through holes 10 and the second through holes 20, or in the aligned third through holes 31 and the first through holes 10. When the overall building block structure is assembled, installing the second locking building block element 4 not only plays a tightening role, but also makes the appearance of the entire building block structure smooth.

[0044] In some embodiments, the end face edge of the first locking protrusion 30 has an avoidance opening (not shown in the figure), and the end face edge of the second locking protrusion 42 also has an avoidance opening. In this way, when the first locking building block elements 3 are installed on two adjacent faces of the first building block element 1, interference between the two first locking protrusions 30 can be avoided. Similarly, when the first locking building block elements 3 are installed on two adjacent faces of the second building block element 2, interference between the ends of the two first locking protrusions 30 can also be avoided.

[0045] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a limiting block 22 is provided in the middle of the first assembly groove 21 for dividing the first assembly groove 21 into two halves. When the second building block element 2 is inserted into the first building block element 1, the end of the first assembly boss 11 will hit the limiting block 22, so that half of the second building block element 2 is located inside the first building block element 1, and the other half of the second building block element 2 is located outside the first building block element 1. The half of the second building block element 2 located outside is used to continue to connect with other first building block elements 1.

[0046] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the building block assembly further comprises a third building block element 5, the side wall of the third building block element 5 is provided with a fourth through hole 50 and a third assembly groove 51, and one end surface of the third building block element 5 is flat. Figure 3The specific structure of the third building block element 5 is shown without the first locking protrusion 30 on the end face of the first locking building block element 3. During the assembly process, the third building block element 5 can be assembled in the first building block element 1 so that the third assembly groove 51 cooperates with the first assembly boss 11, and the fourth through hole 50 is aligned with the first through hole 10. After assembly, the overall structure is smoother.

[0047] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the building block assembly further includes a fourth building block element 6, which is composed of two third building block elements 5 hinged to each other, so that the building block connection can be connected at an angle in three-dimensional space in addition to a linear connection and a vertical connection. In addition, the two third building block elements 5 can be connected by a ball chain to assemble a more diverse structure.

[0048] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 In some embodiments, at least one first locking protrusion 30 is provided with a slit, and at least one second locking protrusion 42 is provided with a slit. Figure 7 In the first locking building block element 3 of the embodiment shown, a gap is opened in the middle of the two first locking protrusions 30 located at the diagonal positions. When the first locking protrusion 30 is inserted into the through hole, the gap is tightened. After the through hole is inserted into place, the gap is widened, making it easier to insert the first locking protrusion 30 and the clamping is more secure. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the end surface of the first locking protrusion 30 with a slit has a flange, so that the first locking protrusion 30 can be embedded in the through hole and held more firmly.

[0049] See also Fig.12 In addition, the building block assembly further includes a plurality of image mosaic blocks 8 , which can mosaic a specific image on the second locking building block element 4 and / or the third building block element 5 .

[0050] Specifically, magnetic paint is applied on the flat surface of the second locking building block element 4 and the flat surface of the third building block element 5, and magnetic paint is also applied on each image puzzle block 8. When in use, multiple image puzzle blocks 8 with images can be adsorbed on the second locking building block element 4 to piece together a specific image, multiple image puzzle blocks 8 with images can be adsorbed on the third building block element 5 to piece together a specific image, and each image puzzle block 8 can also be spliced ​​on a building block toy having the second locking building block element 4 and the third building block element 5, so that the overall image of the building blocks is more vivid.

[0051] like Fig.12 As shown, an image shape is formed by a plurality of image mosaic blocks 8 on the plane formed by the second locking building block elements 4 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the middle portion of the first assembly boss 11 is higher than the two ends of the first assembly boss 11, so that when the first assembly boss 11 is embedded in the first assembly groove 21, the middle portion of the first assembly boss 11 will squeeze the two side walls of the first assembly groove 21, making the connection between the first assembly boss 11 and the first assembly groove 21 more firmly.
