Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of game device technology, and in particular to a Sudoku game device. Background Technology

[0002] Sudoku is a mathematical game originating in 18th-century Switzerland. It is a logic puzzle that requires players to deduce the numbers in all remaining empty spaces on a 9x9 grid based on the known numbers on the grid, while ensuring that each row, each column, and each 3x3 subgrid contains numbers from 1 to 9 without repetition. Sudoku puzzles are widely popular due to their fun and challenge, and playing them can gradually improve people's observation and logical thinking skills.

[0003] Existing Sudoku game devices typically place and play pieces on a horizontal board, forcing users to look down while playing, which can easily cause neck discomfort. In other words, existing Sudoku game devices are inconvenient to use and offer a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Sudoku game device that offers a good user experience, allows for tilting and playing, and facilitates piece removal.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a Sudoku game device, which includes a base, a game board, and a support member. The base has a first receiving groove with the slot facing upward. The game board is disposed above the first receiving groove, and has a plurality of placement grooves for placing game pieces on the side facing away from the first receiving groove. One end of the support member is hinged to the base, and the other end of the support member is hinged to the game board, so that the game board has a first state and a second state.

[0006] When the chessboard is in the first state, a predetermined angle is formed between the chessboard and the plane where the opening of the first receiving groove is located. When the chessboard is in the second state, the chessboard is placed on the opening of the first receiving groove.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the chessboard includes a cover plate and a grid section. The cover plate is hinged to the support member. The placement groove is disposed on the grid section. The grid section is disposed on the side of the cover plate facing away from the first receiving groove. The first end of the grid section is hinged to the cover plate. The grid section can be rotated to reach a movable state and a fixed state. When the grid section is in the movable state, the second end of the grid section is separated from the cover plate. When the grid section is in the fixed state, the second end of the grid section is connected to the cover plate.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the placement slot is hollowed out so that the chess piece can pass through the placement slot.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the Sudoku game device further includes a game book, and the cover plate has a second receiving groove on the side facing away from the first receiving groove. The game book is disposed in the second receiving groove, and when the checkerboard part is in the fixed state, the checkerboard part covers the opening of the second receiving groove.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the edge of the second receiving groove is provided with a guide portion, which protrudes from the surface of the gaming laptop.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the second end of the cover plate portion is provided with a first locking device, which is used to lock the second end of the checkerboard portion.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first locking device includes a button, a first elastic pushing part, a first slider, and a first elastic element. The second end of the cover plate part has a groove and a first through hole. The first slider is disposed in the groove. The first elastic element connects the first slider and the groove wall of the groove. The second end of the checkerboard part has a locking groove corresponding to the first slider. The button passes through the first through hole and is located above the first slider.

[0013] The first locking device can reach a first locking position and a first unlocking position. When the first locking device is in the first locking position, the first slider passes into the locking groove, and the checkerboard portion presses against the first elastic push portion. When the first locking device is in the first unlocking position, the button presses against the first slider to disengage the first slider from the locking groove.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the button has a first abutment portion that is inclined, and the first slider has a second abutment portion that corresponds to the first abutment portion. When the first locking device is in the first unlocked position, the first abutment portion presses against the second abutment portion so that the first slider moves toward a direction away from the first end of the cover plate portion.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the wall of the first receiving groove has a slide rail, and one end of the chessboard has a second slider protruding outward, the second slider being slidably disposed within the slide rail.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the slide rail has a first slot, and when the chessboard is in the first state, the second slider is engaged in the first slot.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the opening of the first card slot faces obliquely upward, and the wall of the first card slot forms a predetermined angle with the horizontal direction.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the chessboard has a connecting block on the side facing the first receiving groove, the connecting block has a second slider, and the groove edge of the first receiving groove has a clearance position. When the second slider is engaged in the first slot, the edge of the chessboard is located within the clearance position.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the base has a second locking device at one end near the support member, the second locking device being used to lock the first end of the chessboard, and the slide rail has a limiting protrusion at one end away from the support member, the limiting protrusion being used to restrict the movement of the second slider when the second locking device locks the chessboard.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the second locking device includes a latch portion, one end of which is hinged to the base, and the other end of which has a latching protrusion. The chessboard has a second latching groove. The second locking device can reach a second locking position and a second unlocking position. When the second locking device is in the second locking position, the latching protrusion is engaged in the second latching groove, and the chessboard is in the second state. When the second locking device is in the second unlocking position, the latching protrusion is located outside the second latching groove.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the base is further provided with a second elastic pushing part protruding toward the chessboard. When the second locking device is in the second locking position, the chessboard presses against the second elastic pushing part. When the second locking device is in the second unlocking position, the second elastic pushing part pushes open the chessboard, and a gap is formed between the first end of the chessboard and the opening of the first receiving groove.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the second elastic pushing part includes a pushing cylinder and a third elastic member. The base has a guide groove, the pushing cylinder is slidably disposed in the guide groove, the third elastic member is disposed in the guide groove and passes through the pushing cylinder, the guide groove has a columnar part, the top of the columnar part has a limiting part protruding radially therefrom, the bottom of the pushing cylinder has an inner boss, and the limiting part is used to abut against the inner boss to limit the pushing cylinder from sliding further in a direction away from the guide groove.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the support member connected to the base has a first damper, and the other end of the support member connected to the chessboard has a second damper. The first damper is used to adjust the angle formed between the support member and the base, and the second damper is used to adjust the angle formed between the support member and the chessboard.

[0024] This invention provides a Sudoku game device, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0025] The Sudoku game device provided by the present invention includes a base, a game board, and a support member. The base has a first receiving groove with the opening facing upward. The game board is disposed above the first receiving groove, and has a plurality of placement grooves for placing game pieces on the side of the base facing away from the first receiving groove. One end of the support member is hinged to the base, and the other end of the support member is hinged to the game board, so that the game board has a first state and a second state. When the game board is in the first state, a predetermined angle is formed between the game board and the plane where the opening of the first receiving groove is located. When the game board is in the second state, the game board is placed on the opening of the first receiving groove. Based on the above structure, when the game board is moved to the first state, it is tilted and fixed at a predetermined angle, allowing for the placement and playing of pieces. Compared to a game board placed horizontally, users do not need to look down to observe the game when using this Sudoku game device, making it more ergonomic, less likely to cause neck discomfort, and more convenient to use, resulting in a better user experience. Secondly, compared to the method of directly hinged to the base, the arrangement of the support members being hinged to both the base and the game board makes the movement and angle adjustment of the game board more flexible and occupies less space. On the other hand, when the game board is in the first state, the arrangement of the support members being hinged to both the base and the game board allows the game board to be tilted towards the first receiving slot. After the pieces are removed from the placement slot, they can slide along the game board into the first receiving slot, making it more convenient to clean and store the pieces after the game.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a Sudoku game device, which includes a base 1, a game board 3, and a support member 2. The base 1 has a first receiving groove 11 with its opening facing upwards. The game board 3 is disposed above the first receiving groove 11, and has a plurality of placement grooves 321 for placing game pieces 5 on its side facing away from the first receiving groove 11. One end of the support member 2 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end of the support member 2 is hinged to the game board 3, so that the game board 3 has a first state and a second state. When the game board 3 is in the first state, a predetermined angle is formed between the game board 3 and the plane containing the opening of the first receiving groove 11. When the game board 3 is in the second state, the game board 3 covers the opening of the first receiving groove 11. Preferably, the predetermined angle A is 0°. <A<180°。

[0044] Based on the above structure, when the chessboard 3 is moved to the first state, it is tilted and fixed at a predetermined angle, allowing the pieces 5 to be placed and played. Compared to a chessboard 3 placed horizontally, users do not need to look down to observe when playing with this Sudoku game device, which is more ergonomic, less likely to cause neck discomfort, and more convenient to use, resulting in a better user experience. Secondly, compared to directly hinged chessboard 3 to base 1, the hinged arrangement of support 2 to both base 1 and chessboard 3 makes the movement and angle adjustment of chessboard 3 more flexible and occupies less space. Specifically, when chessboard 3 is in the first state, most or all of the horizontal projection of chessboard 3 is within the horizontal projection of base 1, thus not occupying additional table space. When hinged to the base 1, the piece 3 typically needs to be flipped outside the base 1, occupying additional table space. However, when the game board 3 is in its first state, the hinged arrangement of the support member 2 to both the base 1 and the game board 3 allows the game board 3 to be tilted towards the first receiving slot 11. After the piece 5 exits the placement slot 321, it can slide along the game board 3 into the first receiving slot 11, making it easier to clean and store the piece 5 after the game. Compared to a horizontally placed game board 3, there is no need to flip the game board 3 to clean the piece 5, preventing it from falling outside the first receiving slot 11. Furthermore, when the game board 3 is in its second state, it covers the first receiving slot 11, preventing the piece 5 from falling out during the movement of the Sudoku game device, facilitating the storage of the piece 5. It should be understood that this Sudoku game device can be used for playing when the game board 3 is in its first state, and also when the game board 3 is in its second state.

[0045] Optionally, based on the user scenario where the game can be played while the chessboard 3 is in its first state, to make the chess pieces 5 placed in the placement slot 321 easier to clean and store, such as... Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the chessboard 3 includes a cover plate 31 and a grid section 32. The cover plate 31 is hinged to the support member 2. A placement groove 321 is provided on the grid section 32. Preferably, the placement groove 321 is hollowed out and its shape is similar to or the same as that of the chess piece 5, so that the chess piece 5 can pass through the placement groove 321. That is, when the grid section 32 is in a fixed state, the grid section 32 and the cover plate 31 are stacked, so that the chess piece 5 abuts against the cover plate 31 or the game book 4 inside the cover plate 31, thereby being confined in the placement groove 32. The chess piece 5 will not fall out inside the slot 32. When the chess grid part 32 is in the active state, the chess piece 5 can directly pass through the placement slot 321 and fall down. The chess grid part 32 is located on the side of the cover plate part 31 facing away from the first receiving slot 11, and the first end of the chess grid part 32 is hinged to the cover plate part 31. The chess grid part 32 can be rotated to achieve an active state and a fixed state. When the chess grid part 32 is in the active state, the second end of the chess grid part 32 is separated from the cover plate part 31. When the chess grid part 32 is in the fixed state, the second end of the chess grid part 32 is connected to the cover plate part 31. Based on this, when a game is needed, the grid section 32 is rotated to a fixed state. At this time, when the chess piece 5 is placed into the hollow placement slot 321, the chess piece 5 abuts against the cover plate section 31 or against the game book 4 placed in the cover plate section 31, thus keeping it in the placement slot 321. When the chess piece 5 needs to be cleaned and stored, the grid section 32 is rotated to a movable state. Since the placement slot 321 is hollow, the chess piece 5 will not leave the range of the first receiving slot 11 as the grid section 32 rotates. Instead, it will pass directly through the placement slot 321 and slide down into the first receiving slot 11 along the inclined direction of the cover plate section 31 or along the inclined direction of the game book 4 in the cover plate section 31. That is, there is no need to clean and store each chess piece 5 one by one. By rotating the grid section 32, the chess piece 5 can slide down into the first receiving slot 11 along the inclined direction of the grid section 32, thus completing the cleaning of all the chess pieces 5. The cleaning and storage of the chess pieces 5 is more convenient. It is important to emphasize that the hinged connection between the chessboard section 32 and the cover plate section 31, and the openwork design of the placement slot 321, are specifically designed for the use scenario where the chessboard 3 is in a playable first state. This allows users to play when the chessboard 3 is in its first state, and after finishing playing, they can simply move the chessboard section 32 to its active state to clean up the chess pieces 5, reducing the tedious process of cleaning and storage. Of course, the placement slot 321 can also be non-openwork, allowing the chess pieces 5 to fall into the first receiving slot 11 as the chessboard section 32 flips downwards. It is important to emphasize that the first end of the chessboard section 32 can be any one of its left, right, top, or bottom ends.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the Sudoku game device also includes a game notebook 4. The cover plate 31 has a second receiving groove 311 on the side facing away from the first receiving groove 11. The game notebook 4 is disposed within the second receiving groove 311. When the grid section 32 is in a fixed state, the grid section 32 covers the opening of the second receiving groove 311. It should be understood that the game notebook 4 is prior art, and numbers at predetermined positions are engraved on it. It can usually be flipped to switch between different pages of the game, thereby reducing the placement time of the pieces 5. This will not be elaborated upon here. In use, the game notebook 4 is flipped to the predetermined page of the game, placed into the second receiving groove 311, and then the grid section 32 is rotated to a fixed state. At this time, when the piece 5 is placed into the placement groove 321, the piece 5 abuts against the game notebook 4, thus remaining in the placement groove 321. After the game ends, the grid section 32 is rotated to a movable state, and the piece 5 will slide down the game notebook 4 into the first receiving groove 11.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the edge of the second receiving groove 311 is provided with a guide portion 312. Specifically, the guide portion 312 can be an arc shape or a guide strip with an inclined guide surface. The guide portion 312 protrudes from the surface of the game laptop 4. When the chessboard 3 is in the first state, the guide portion 312 is located at the bottom of the second receiving groove 311. Thus, when the chess piece 5 slides down along the game laptop 4, it will slide out of the second receiving groove 311 along the guide portion 312 and fall into the first receiving groove 11. That is, the guide portion 312 plays the role of guiding the chess piece 5 into the first receiving groove 11, preventing the chess piece 5 from being stuck in the second receiving groove 311 or jumping out of the range of the first receiving groove 11.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the cover plate 31 is provided with a third receiving groove 313, the second receiving groove 311 is located within the range of the third receiving groove 313, the guide part 312 is located within the range of the third receiving groove 313, and a predetermined gap is formed between the guide part 312 and the groove wall of the third receiving groove 313, which can prevent interference between the guide part 312 and the checkerboard part 32. When the checkerboard part 32 is in a fixed state, the checkerboard part 32 is located in the third receiving groove 313, making the surface of the Sudoku game device relatively flat.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second end of the cover plate 31 is provided with a first locking device 33. The first locking device 33 is used to lock or loosen the second end of the chess grid part 32, so that the chess grid part 32 is not easy to loosen when it is in a fixed state, the chess piece 5 is not easy to slip off the placement groove 321, and the chess grid part 32 can press the game book 4 to prevent it from loosening when the user plays.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the first locking device 33 includes a button 331, a first elastic push portion 332, a first slider 333, and a first elastic member 334. The second end of the cover plate portion 31 has a groove 34 and a first through hole 35. The first slider 333 is disposed in the groove 34. The first elastic member 334 connects the first slider 333 and the groove wall of the groove 34. Specifically, the second end of the cover plate portion 31 has a second through hole 36. The first slider 333 has a tongue 333a, which passes through the second through hole 36. The first elastic member 334 applies an elastic force to the first slider 333 toward the first end of the cover plate portion 31, causing the tongue 333a to pass through the second through hole 36. The second end of the grid portion 32 has a locking groove 322 corresponding to the first slider 333, specifically the tongue portion 333a. The button 331 passes through the first through hole 35 and is located above the first slider 333. The first locking device 33 can reach the first locking position and the first unlocking position. When the first locking device 33 is in the first locking position, the tongue portion 333a passes through the second through hole 36 and enters the locking groove 322, and the grid portion 32 presses against the first elastic push portion 332. At this time, the grid portion 32 remains in a fixed state. When the first locking device 33 is in the first unlocking position, the button 331 presses against the first slider 333 so that the tongue portion 333a disengages from the locking groove 322. When it is necessary to unlock the checkerboard section 32, press the button 331 to press the first slider 333, thereby causing the first slider 333 to move away from the first end of the cover plate section 31, causing the tongue 333a to disengage from the locking groove 322 and release. At this time, the position of the checkerboard section 32 is no longer restricted, and the first elastic push part 332 pushes it open. On the one hand, this facilitates the flipping of the checkerboard section 32 and prevents it from being difficult to flip in the third receiving groove 313. On the other hand, and more importantly, the elasticity of the first elastic push part 332 when it pushes the checkerboard section 32 open is also beneficial. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the grid section 32, making it easier for the chess piece 5 to detach from the placement slot 321 of the grid section 32. This facilitates the chess piece 5 passing through the placement slot 321 and falling into the first receiving slot 11, thus aiding in the cleaning and storage of the chess piece 5. When it is necessary to lock the grid section 32, the second end of the grid section 32 is pressed towards the first elastic push part 332, causing the first slider 333 to move backward and the tongue 333a to slide into the locking slot 322, thereby bringing the grid section 32 to the first locking position and locking it. Of course, the first locking device 33 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and it can also use elastic buckles, snap buttons, etc. to lock the grid section 32. Specifically, the first elastic push part 332 is not limited to the configuration of a spring or a spring and push rod, as long as it can achieve the function of elastic push.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 10and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the button 331 has a first abutting portion 331a inclinedly arranged, and the first slider 333 has a second abutting portion 333b corresponding to the first abutting portion 331a. When the first locking device 33 is in the first unlocked position, the first abutting portion 331a presses against the second abutting portion 333b, so that the first slider 333 moves away from the first end of the cover plate portion 31. Preferably, there are two tongues 333a, which are respectively located on both sides of the first slider 333. The number of locking grooves 322 and the number of tongues 333a are equal and correspond one-to-one, so that the locking of the checkerboard portion 32 is more stable. Since there is a certain distance between the two tongues 333a, in order to prevent the two ends of the first slider 333 from sliding asynchronously when the button 331 is pressed, causing the two tongues 333a to be difficult to exit the locking groove 322, the button 331 is elongated. Part 331a includes a first rib. Multiple first abutting parts 331a are evenly arranged along the length of button 331, so that the first slider 333 is subjected to uniform force when button 331 presses against the first slider 333. The second abutting part 333b includes an abutting block 333c and multiple second ribs 333d. The first grounding part presses against the abutting block 333c. The first ribs and second ribs 333d are staggered to prevent lateral relative movement between button 331 and first slider 333.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the button 331 rebound and reset more quickly and improve the user experience, in this embodiment, the first locking device 33 further includes a second elastic element 335. The second elastic element 335 is disposed between the cover plate portion 31 and the button 331 and connects the two. The second elastic element 335 is used to apply an elastic force to the button 331. It should be understood that both the first elastic element 334 and the second elastic element 335 can be elastic elements such as springs.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment, the first receiving groove 11 has a slide rail 112 on its groove wall. The slide rail 112 extends approximately along the end of the base 1 away from the support member 2 to the end near the support member 2. One end of the chessboard 3 has a second slider 314 protruding outward. Specifically, the cover plate 31 has the second slider 314, which is slidably disposed within the slide rail 112. Thus, when the support member 2 and the chessboard 3 are rotated, the cooperation of the slide rail 112 and the second slider 314 serves to limit the movement trajectory of the chessboard 3, making the flipping and angle adjustment of the chessboard 3 smoother and more convenient. Furthermore, it allows the chessboard 3 to maintain an appropriate distance from the first receiving groove 11. Specifically, when the chessboard 3 is in the first state, its bottom is close to the first receiving groove 11, thereby preventing the chess piece 5 from falling out of the first receiving groove 11 due to excessive distance.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the slide rail 112 has a first slot 112a. When the chessboard 3 is in the first state, the second slider 314 is engaged in the first slot 112a, so that the chessboard 3 can be more stably maintained at a predetermined angle A. That is, the chessboard 3 is more stable in the first state and less prone to shaking, ensuring the user's gaming experience. Secondly, the first slot 112a also plays a role in assisting to support the chessboard 3. Preferably, there are multiple first slots 112a, and the multiple first slots 112a are arranged along the extension direction of the slide rail 112. In this way, the chessboard 3 can be more stably maintained at multiple predetermined angles.

[0055] Of course, other methods such as dampers can also be used to fix the angle of the chessboard 3. In another embodiment, the end of the support member 2 connected to the base 1 has a first damper, and the other end of the support member 2 connected to the chessboard 3 has a second damper. The first damper is used to adjust the angle formed between the support member 2 and the base 1, and the second damper is used to adjust the angle formed between the support member 2 and the chessboard 3. The damper is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the opening of the first slot 112a faces diagonally upward, and the wall of the first slot 112a forms a predetermined angle A with the horizontal direction. Compared with the first slot 112a facing directly upward, the first slot 112a has a better locking effect. When the chessboard 3 is pulled upward, the second slider 314 will not easily disengage from the second slot 316, and the chessboard 3 is more likely to remain in the first state. Secondly, when the chessboard 3 is pulled diagonally upward, it is easier to connect with the slide rail 112, making the movement of the chessboard 3 smoother.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the chessboard 3 has a connecting block 315 on the side facing the first receiving groove 11. The connecting block 315 has a second slider 314. The groove edge of the first receiving groove 11 has a clearance position 111. When the second slider 314 is engaged in the first slot 112a, the edge of the chessboard 3 is located in the clearance position 111, thereby preventing the chessboard 3 from interfering with the groove edge of the first receiving groove 11. At this time, the groove edge of the first receiving groove 11 also plays a role in supporting the chessboard 3, making the first state of the chessboard 3 more stable. Specifically, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting block 315 has a second slider 314, the connecting block 315 has a slot 315a, and the cover plate 31 has a plug-in post on the side facing the support member 2. The plug-in post is inserted into the slot 315a.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the slide rail 112 has a notch 112c at one end near the support member 2. Thus, the second slider 314 can enter the slide rail 112 through the notch 112c.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 has a second locking device 12 at the end near the support member 2. The second locking device 12 is used to lock the first end of the chessboard 3. The slide rail 112 has a limiting protrusion 112b at the end away from the support member 2. The limiting protrusion 112b is used to restrict the movement of the second slider 314 when the second locking device 12 locks the chessboard 3. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 112b can be flange-shaped to restrict the upward movement of the second slider 314. Based on this, the second locking device 12 can lock the first end of the chessboard 3, and the limiting protrusion 112b can cooperate to restrict the second end of the chessboard 3, so that the chessboard 3 can stably cover the opening of the first receiving groove 11, thereby making this Sudoku game device easy to carry and transport, while the chess piece 5 will not fall out of the first receiving groove 11.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the second locking device 12 includes a latch 121, one end of which is hinged to the base 1, and the other end of which has a latching protrusion 121b. The chessboard 3 has a second latching groove 316. The second locking device 12 can reach a second locking position and a second unlocking position. When the second locking device 12 is in the second locking position, the latching protrusion 121b is engaged in the second latching groove 316, and the chessboard 3 is in the second state. When the second locking device 12 is in the second unlocking position, the latching protrusion 121b is located outside the second latching groove 316.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the latch portion 121 away from the hinge has a handle portion 121a, which is bent outward. This makes the latch portion 121 easy to move, thus facilitating the switching of the position of the second locking device 12.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 is further provided with a second elastic pushing part 13 protruding towards the chessboard 3. When the second locking device 12 is in the second locking position, the chessboard 3 presses against the second elastic pushing part 13. When the second locking device 12 is in the second unlocking position, the second elastic pushing part 13 pushes open the chessboard 3, and a gap is formed between the first end of the chessboard 3 and the groove of the first receiving groove 11. Based on this, when it is necessary to use this Sudoku game device, especially when it is necessary to move the chessboard 3 to the first state, the buckle part 121 is flipped to the second unlocking position. At this time, the second elastic pushing part 13 pushes open the chessboard 3, making it easier for the user to rotate the chessboard 3 to the first state, preventing the chessboard 3 from being tightly attached to the groove of the first receiving groove 11, which would make it difficult for the chessboard 3 to rotate.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the second elastic pushing part 13 includes a pushing cylinder 131 and a third elastic element 132. The base 1 has a guide groove 14, and the pushing cylinder 131 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 14. The guide groove 14 serves as a guide to prevent the pushing cylinder 131 from sliding left or right. The third elastic element 132 is disposed in the guide groove 14 and passes through the pushing cylinder 131. The guide groove 14 has a column part 141. The top of the column part 141 has a limiting part 141a protruding radially therefrom. The bottom of the pushing cylinder 131 has an inner boss 131a. The limiting part 141a is used to abut against the inner boss 131a to limit the pushing cylinder 131 from sliding further away from the guide groove 14. That is, the stroke of the pushing cylinder 131 can be limited to prevent it from disengaging from the guide groove 14. The third elastic element 132 can be an elastic element such as a spring.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support member 2 is an arc-shaped plate with at least one hollow portion 21 to reduce weight. The two ends of the support member 2 are provided with hinge shafts 22, and the base 1 and the cover plate portion 31 are provided with corresponding hinge seats.

[0065] The method of using the Sudoku game device provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: When it is necessary to use this Sudoku game device to play a game, the latch 121 is moved to the second unlock position. At this time, the push cylinder 131 pushes open the first end of the game board 3 under the action of the third elastic member 132. The second slider 314 is no longer limited by the limiting protrusion 112b. The cover plate 31 is pushed so that the second slider 314 slides along the extension direction of the slide rail 112 until the second slider 314 is locked in the first slot 112a. At this time, the edge of the cover plate 31 is located in the clearance position 111, and the game board 3 reaches the first state. At this time, the user can play. Alternatively, the user can unlock and lock the first locking device 33, change the page of the game book 4, and then play. When the game is over, the button 331 is pressed so that the first locking device 33 reaches the first unlock position. At this time, the tongue 333a exits the locking groove 322, and the first elastic push part 332 will... The checkerboard section 32 is opened, allowing the chess piece 5 to slide down along the game book 4 and through the guide section 312 into the first receiving groove 11. The checkerboard section 32 can also be manually rotated to the movable state, making it easier to clean the chess piece 5. After the chess piece 5 is cleaned, the checkerboard section 32 is rotated to the fixed state and the first elastic push section 332 and the tongue 333a are pressed together, causing the first slider 333 to retract and the tongue 333a to enter the locking groove 322. The first locking device 33 reaches the first locking position, disengaging the second slider 314 from the first slot 112a and sliding it in the opposite direction to the end of the slide rail 112 away from the support member 2. Then, the first end of the cover plate section 31 is pressed against the push cylinder 131, the buckle section 121 is flipped over, and the latching protrusion 121b is inserted into the second slot 316. The second locking device 12 reaches the second locking position, limiting the movement of the second slider 314 by the limiting latching protrusion 112b.

[0066] In summary, this invention provides a Sudoku game device, mainly composed of a base 1, a game board 3, and a support member 2. The base 1 has a first receiving groove 11 with its opening facing upwards. The game board 3 is positioned above the first receiving groove 11, and its side facing away from the first receiving groove 11 has multiple placement grooves 321 for placing game pieces 5. One end of the support member 2 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end of the support member 2 is hinged to the game board 3, allowing the game board 3 to have a first state and a second state. When the game board 3 is in the first state, a predetermined angle is formed between the game board 3 and the plane containing the opening of the first receiving groove 11. When the game board 3 is in the second state, the game board 3 covers the opening of the first receiving groove 11. Compared with the prior art, this Sudoku game device has advantages such as a better user experience, the ability to be played at an angle, and convenient game piece cleaning.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
