Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a building block toy with a channel, in particular to a building block toy, a building block body thereof, and an application method. Background Art

[0002] Chinese Patent No. CN201520757851.0 discloses a logical thinking building block with a pore channel on January 27, 2016. It includes a hollow base, a cube, a long block, a ball, and a housing. The top surface of the base is provided with a round hole matching the size of the ball; the cube is set as a cube without a pore channel and a cube with a pore channel. The pore channel types of the above cube with a pore channel are: corner double through-hole channel, straight through-hole channel, triple through-hole channel, quadruple through-hole channel, quintuple through-hole channel, and sextuple through-hole channel; the long block is set as a long block and a long block with a pore channel. The pore channel type of the above long block with a pore channel is a straight through-hole channel. This structure includes two different-shaped building blocks, namely a cube and a long block, thus specifying the installation positions of the two-shaped building blocks, causing certain constraints on the building block splicing, and restricting the flexibility; in addition, this structure is designed based on the gameplay that the building blocks can be spliced into a connected channel and a unique exit. Therefore, the given types and quantities of building blocks are provided for the above gameplay and cannot meet the needs of other gameplay. Moreover, the building blocks are attracted and combined by magnetic attraction. However, from the position of the magnet layout of the building blocks, it is located at the sharp corners of the building blocks. When building blocks are spliced on three adjacent faces, since the magnets between two building blocks need to attract with opposite poles, in this case, some building blocks will definitely be repelled, resulting in the inability to achieve three-dimensional splicing. Furthermore, since the quantity of the building blocks in this structure is not limited, it cannot become a product with a standardized gameplay.

[0003] In addition, Chinese Patent No. 201620265395.2 discloses a three-dimensional built-in track magnetic ball building block on October 12, 2016. The building block body is in a transparent three-dimensional shape, and the edges of the building blocks are all covered with a pair of housing edges. Each pair of housing edges is provided with a magnetic column groove, and a magnetic column is placed in the groove. A through-ball channel is also provided in the building block body. The magnetic columns of this structure are installed from the outside of the housing and covered by the housing edges. Since there are 12 magnetic columns and each magnetic column is covered by two housing edges, the installation is complex. Moreover, there are many external gaps and it is easy to accumulate dirt.

The groove is provided with an open mouth facing the inner end direction of the cover shell. The magnet is placed into the groove from the open mouth. The inner end faces of the two cover shells are connected to each other. The channel member is positioned between the two cover shells. The open mouth of the groove is blocked by the channel member, and / or, the open mouths of the corresponding grooves in the two cover shells are relatively matched to enclose the groove.

[0015] Another object of the present invention can also be solved by adopting the following technical measures:

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] (1) By limiting the types and quantities of the functional building blocks of the present invention, and ensuring that all the building blocks can be spliced into a closed loop with the internal channels connected in series, and that some building blocks can be extracted from all the building blocks and can also be spliced into another closed loop with the internal channels connected in series, the building block toy can not only realize the gameplay of splicing loops, but also have different levels of selection, making the toy suitable for more consumers;

[0024] (2) In the building block body of the present invention, by reasonably arranging the notch positions for placing the channels and the opening positions of the corresponding channels in the cover shell, four types of cover shells can meet the installation requirements of five types of channels, greatly saving the production cost.

Detailed implementation manners

[0048] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a building block toy includes five types of functional building blocks. Each type of functional building block includes several cubic building block bodies 10. Among them, the first type of functional building block includes two straight cylindrical building block bodies J1. A straight cylindrical channel a1 is provided inside the straight cylindrical building block body J1, and the two ports of the straight cylindrical channel a1 respectively lead to the outside of two opposite surfaces of the building block body 10. The second type of functional building block includes nine L-shaped cylindrical building block bodies J2. An L-shaped cylindrical channel b1 is provided inside the L-shaped cylindrical building block body J2, and the two ports of the L-shaped cylindrical channel b1 respectively lead to the outside of two adjacent surfaces of the building block body 10. The third type of functional building block includes five T-shaped cylindrical building block bodies J3. A T-shaped cylindrical channel c1 is provided inside the T-shaped cylindrical building block body J3, and the three ports of the T-shaped cylindrical channel c1 respectively lead to the outside of three successively connected surfaces of the building block body 10. The fourth type of functional building block includes nine three-pronged cylindrical building block bodies J4. A three-pronged cylindrical channel d1 is provided inside the three-pronged cylindrical building block body J4, and the three ports of the three-pronged cylindrical channel d1 respectively lead to the outside of three interconnected surfaces of the building block body 10. The fifth type of functional building block includes two cross-shaped cylindrical building block bodies J5. A cross-shaped cylindrical channel e1 is provided inside the cross-shaped cylindrical building block body J5, and the four ports of the cross-shaped cylindrical channel e1 respectively lead to the outside of four annularly distributed surfaces of the building block body 10.

[0050] It also includes balls 4 for rolling inside the loop.

[0051] The above-mentioned building block body 10 has a total of 27 pieces and can be assembled into a large cube shape for easy packaging.

[0052] In addition, according to Figure 1 the indicated marking method, each channel in the 27 building block bodies 10 in Figure 1 can be connected in series to form a closed loop; moreover, the ball 4 can be placed before the loop is closed to facilitate detecting whether each channel is connected in series.

[0053] Combined with Figure 2 as shown, four L-shaped cylindrical building block bodies J2 and two three-pronged cylindrical building block bodies J4 can be extracted from the Figure 2 building block bodies 10, and according to Figure 2 the marking method in Figure 2 each channel in the 6 building block bodies 10 can be connected in series to form a closed loop. This method is not the only extraction method, but Figure 1 the combinations of building block bodies 10 with various shapes and quantities shown in

[0054] Combined with Figures 3 to 22 as shown, the structure of the building block body 10 of the building block toy is further described. It includes a building block body 10 provided with a housing, a channel member and a magnet. The housing is in a cubic shape and includes two cover shells 1. The channel member includes a channel 3. The channel 3 has two to four ports, and the interiors of the ports are interconnected. Each port leads to the outside of the surface in an independent direction in the housing. The inner end of the cover shell 1 is provided with a concave cavity. A groove is provided at the edge corresponding to the cover shell 1 inside the concave cavity. The groove is provided with an open mouth facing the inner end direction of the cover shell 1. The magnet is placed into the groove from the open mouth. The inner end faces 16 of the two cover shells 1 are connected to each other. The channel member is positioned between the two cover shells 1. The open mouth of the groove is blocked by the channel member. In addition, the open mouths of the corresponding grooves in the two cover shells 1 are matched with each other to enclose the groove.

[0055] Among them, the cover shell 1 includes a panel 12 and four side plates 11. The panel 12 is square. One end of the side plate 11 is connected to the edge of the panel 12, and the other end of the side plate 11 forms the inner end face 16. A transverse edge 121 is formed at the connection between the side plate 11 and the panel 12, and a longitudinal edge 111 is formed at the connection between the side plates 11. The groove includes a transverse edge groove 15 and a longitudinal edge groove 14. The transverse edge groove 15 and the longitudinal edge groove 14 are respectively arranged in the middle of the inner side of the transverse edge 121 and the end of the inner side of the longitudinal edge 111. The magnet includes a horizontally placed magnet 21 and a vertically placed magnet 22. Horizontally placed magnets 21 are arranged in the transverse edge grooves 15 of the two cover shells 1, and the open mouths of the transverse edge grooves 15 are blocked by the channel member. The open mouths of the longitudinal edge grooves 14 of the two cover shells 1 are relatively matched, and the two longitudinal edge grooves 14 together form an enclosed cavity, and the vertically placed magnet 22 is arranged in the enclosed cavity. The thickness D1 of one side of the groove close to the outer surface of the cover shell 1 is smaller than the wall thickness D2 of the panel 12 and the side plate 11, thereby enhancing the surface magnetic force of the building block body 10.

[0056] Support columns 141 are arranged on the inner bottom surface of the longitudinal edge groove 14, and the vertically placed magnet 22 abuts against the support columns 141; the port leads to the center of the outer shell surface.

[0057] Positioning ribs 161 and positioning grooves 162 are symmetrically distributed on the inner end face 16 of the side plate 11. The shapes of the positioning ribs 161 and the positioning grooves 162 are adapted to each other, and welding ribs 1611 are also arranged on the end faces of the positioning ribs 161. The two cover shells 1 are ultrasonically welded. During ultrasonic welding, the welding ribs 1611 are melted between the positioning ribs 161 and the positioning grooves 162 to realize the connection of the two cover shells 1.

[0058] Notches 13 for placing the ports of the channel 3 are arranged in the middle of the inner end faces 16 of the two side plates 11 of the cover shell 1. Among them, the open mouths of the transverse edge grooves 15 located between the notches 13 and the panel 12 are blocked by the channel 3; among them, the panel 12 is provided with openings 122 at other ports except those corresponding to the notches 13, and other ports except those at the notches 13 are inserted into the openings 122. Combining Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 12 and Figures 15 - 17 As shown, when there are no openings on the panel 12 and notches 13 are respectively arranged on two opposite side plates 11, a straight cylinder cover shell a2 is formed; combining Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figures 18 - 20 As shown, when there are no openings on the panel 12 and notches 13 are respectively arranged on two adjacent side plates 11, an L-shaped cylinder cover shell b2 is formed; combining Figures 15 - 17 、 Figure 21 and Figure 22As shown, when the panel 12 is provided with an opening 122 and the two opposite side plates 11 are respectively provided with notches 13, a T-shaped cylinder cover shell c2 is formed; in combination with Figures 18 - 20 As shown, when the panel 12 is provided with an opening 122 and the two adjacent side plates 11 are respectively provided with notches 13, a three-pronged cylinder cover shell d2 is formed.

[0059] The channel member further includes a baffle 32, the baffle 32 is arranged on the outer side wall of the channel 3, and the end of the baffle 32 blocks the open mouth of the transverse edge groove 15 arranged between the side plate 11 and the panel 12.

[0060] Longitudinal reinforcing rib plates 321 and transverse reinforcing rib plates 322 are further arranged between the baffle 32 and the outer wall of the channel 3.

[0061] A limiting step 31 is arranged on the outer periphery of the port of the channel 3, and the limiting step 31 abuts against the inner ends of the notch 13 and the opening 122, so that the cooperation between the channel and the outer shell is more stable.

[0062] The channel 3 is a straight cylinder channel a1, an L-shaped cylinder channel b1, a T-shaped cylinder channel c1, a three-pronged cylinder channel d1 or a cross-shaped cylinder channel e1. Among them, the straight cylinder channel a1 has two ports and is in a straight line shape (see Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 shown); the L-shaped cylinder channel b1 has two ports and is in an L shape (see Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown); the T-shaped cylinder channel c1 has three ports and is in a T shape (see Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown); the three-pronged cylinder channel d1 has three ports and is in a three-pronged shape (see Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 shown); the cross-shaped cylinder channel e1 has four ports and is in a cross shape (see Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown).

[0063] See Figure 4 and Figure 12 shown. When a straight cylinder channel a1 is combined with two straight cylinder cover shells a2, a straight cylinder type building block body J1 is formed; see Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown. When an L-shaped cylinder channel b1 is combined with two L-shaped cylinder cover shells b2, an L-shaped cylinder type building block body J2 is formed; see Figures 15 to 17 shown. When a T-shaped cylinder channel c1, a straight cylinder cover shell a2 and a T-shaped cylinder cover shell c2 are combined, a T-shaped cylinder type building block body J3 is formed; see Figures 18 to 20As shown, a three-pronged barrel channel d1 and two three-pronged barrel cover shells d2 cooperate to form a three-pronged barrel type building block body J4; see Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, a cross-shaped tube channel e1 cooperates with two T-shaped tube cover shells c2 to form a cross-shaped tube type building block body J5.

[0064] The shell and the channel 3 are both made of light-transmitting material, wherein each channel 3 has its own color, and the colors of the various covers 1 are transparent and colorless and different from the color of the channel 3, so that the covers 1 can be injection molded from the same material and used in alternating combination.

[0065] A method for applying a building block toy comprises: sucking and connecting a building block body 10 with a building block body 10 to form a splicing of the building blocks, and the surface of the building block body 10 with a channel 3 port needs to be connected to another building block body 10 with a channel 3 port, so that the channels 3 between the building block bodies 10 and the building block bodies 10 are connected in a port-to-port manner, and finally, all the channels 3 of the building block bodies of all functional building blocks or the building block bodies 10 extracted from all functional building blocks for splicing are connected in series to form a closed loop; in addition, a ball 4 can be placed in the loop, and by turning over the spliced ​​building block assembly and observing the movement of the ball 4 in the loop, it can be judged whether all the channels 3 in the loop are connected in series; if the ball continuously moves along the channel during the turning of the building block assembly in various directions, it means that all the channels are connected in series to form a loop, and if the building block assembly is tilted in a certain direction, the ball does not move along the channel, which means that a blind end appears in the loop and is not connected in series.

[0066] Furthermore, a physical or electronic question card may be placed in the building block toy, which may provide the user with instructions on how to extract the building block bodies. Of course, the instructions for the building block bodies to be extracted need to ensure that at least one of the building block bodies 10 that can be spliced ​​together to form a closed loop in which each channel is connected in series.

[0067] Furthermore, a light source, a power source and a switch are provided in the ball, and the light source is electrically connected to the power source via the switch.

[0068] Furthermore, the initial state of the building block toy is Figure 1 The state shown is assembled into a large cube, and the ball 4 is placed in the channel before the last building block body is assembled. This allows users to understand its functional structure on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can verify whether the building block bodies of different types and quantities in the building block toy are complete before leaving the factory.

[0069] The above invention does not protect the playing method of the building block toy, but through structural limitations, the building blocks can be played in a splicing loop.

[0070] The specific embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments. Moreover, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, in any aspect, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary rather than restrictive.
