Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ancient building models, specifically a modular simulated ancient building toy model. Background Technology

[0002] The frame structure is one of the most important structural features of ancient architecture. Because ancient buildings primarily used timber-frame structures, the framework of the house was constructed using wooden pillars and beams. The weight of the roof and eaves was transferred to the pillars through the beams, while the walls served only as partitions, not as structural supports. The old proverb, "The walls may fall, but the house won't collapse," succinctly points out the most important characteristic of this frame structure in Chinese architecture. This structure allowed houses to meet the ever-changing functional requirements of life and production under different climatic conditions. Ancient architectural art is also an important subject of art appreciation; modular, realistic ancient architectural toy models, in addition to their educational value, also possess higher aesthetic value.

[0003] Existing modular simulation models of ancient buildings restore the style and appearance of ancient buildings and partially retain their mortise and tenon techniques. However, after assembly, the internal structure of the ancient buildings is covered by the outer walls, making it difficult to observe the interior decoration, structure and lighting effects. These features are only revealed during the assembly process, resulting in structural waste. On the other hand, using the openwork structure of the outer walls to display the interior destroys the aesthetic appeal of the ancient buildings and reduces the sense of atmosphere. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a modular simulated ancient building toy model that uses electrochromic glass to allow the exterior walls of the building model to switch between transparent and opaque while preserving the aesthetic appeal of the interior and exterior of the ancient building.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: it includes several decorative panels, several frame panels, and several exterior wall panels;

[0006] The exterior wall panels include color-changing panels made of electrochromic glass;

[0007] The base, frame, and exterior wall panels all have mounting grooves, while the decorative and frame panels have several mounting protrusions. The mounting grooves and protrusions are detachably connected, and each groove and protrusion has a conductive metal sheet. Conductive wires are located inside the frame panels.

[0008] The above solution achieved the following beneficial effects:

[0009] A. Skeleton blocks are used to construct the framework of the ancient building model, including load-bearing columns, ceilings, eaves, and roofs, stabilizing the model's structure. Decorative blocks are used to decorate the model, recreating its interior and exterior, enhancing its accuracy and aesthetic appeal. Exterior wall blocks are based on the ancient building's structure; the weight of the roof and eaves is transferred to the columns (skeleton blocks) through the beams. The walls serve only as partitions, completing the model's structural integrity.

[0010] B. The exterior wall panels include color-changing panels made of electrochromic glass, which can switch between opaque and transparent states. This allows for the display of the interior of the ancient building without damaging the structure or creating a perforated design. The display area is larger than that of a perforated structure, and it also prevents dust from entering the interior of the building model, reducing maintenance costs.

[0011] C. Conductive metal sheets are used for electrical transmission, thereby controlling the color-changing wall panels. The skeleton panels themselves are opaque, so the conductive wires are embedded to reduce the visual impact of exposed conductive wires.

[0012] D. The assembly grooves and assembly protrusions can be detachably connected. Because electrochromic glass is a rigid material and is difficult to undergo elastic deformation, assembly grooves are used to connect with the frame blocks to reduce the performance degradation caused by material changes.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, this method extends the exterior wall by utilizing the advantages of a frame structure and making it out of electrochromic glass. This reduces its load-bearing capacity and enhances its functionality, allowing it to switch between transparent and opaque states. This provides users with more viewing angles and, compared to openwork structures, preserves the unique features of the exterior wall while offering a wider field of view. It also helps control dust and reduces maintenance costs.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a base assembly, which contains a power supply and has a switch on it for controlling the power supply.

[0015] Beneficial effect: The power supply provides electrical energy to drive the electrochromic glass to change its state.

[0016] Furthermore, transition wall blocks are fixedly connected to the edges of the color-changing wall blocks, and the assembly grooves are all located on the transition wall blocks.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By using transitional wall blocks to reduce the field of view, the material performance can be improved and electronic structures can be concealed, reducing the visual degradation caused by the exposure of electronic structures.

[0018] Furthermore, the conductive metal sheet includes gold fingers.

[0019] Beneficial effects: Gold fingers can provide power supply and signal transmission.

[0020] Furthermore, controllers are installed in the base, decorative, frame, and exterior wall panels. The controllers are pre-programmed with number information, and the gold fingers are also used for signal transmission.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The built-in controller is used to distinguish different puzzle components, making it easier to manage puzzle information.

[0022] Furthermore, the base module is equipped with a signal transmission interface, and the controller inside the base module is used to collect the numbering information and assembly connection relationship of the base module, decorative module, frame module and exterior wall module;

[0023] The signal transmission interface is used to export the numbering information and assembly connection relationship of the base module, decorative module, frame module and exterior wall module.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The controller within the base assembly blocks collects block information via gold fingers, generating assembly data. After completing a satisfactory assembly design, users can export, store, or share the design via the signal transmission interface.

[0025] Furthermore, the signal transmission interface is connected to the controller signal. The signal transmission interface is used to import the controller number information and assembly connection relationship of the base module, decorative module, frame module and exterior wall module. The base module is equipped with a buzzer. The controller in the base module is used to verify the collected number information and assembly connection relationship according to the imported number information and assembly connection relationship. When an assembly connection relationship error occurs, the buzzer is controlled to provide a prompt.

[0026] Beneficial effects: Users can import assembly designs, and the controller inside the base assembly blocks will detect assembly errors, making it easy for users to accurately and quickly assemble the imported assembly designs.

[0027] Furthermore, the decorative blocks include sculpted blocks and furniture blocks. The furniture blocks include lighting-type furniture, which contains LED lights that illuminate when the color-changing wall blocks switch to transparent.

[0028] Beneficial effects: LED lights can reproduce the light and shadow effects in the interior of ancient buildings and provide light that makes it easier for users to observe the interior of the building.

[0029] Furthermore, air pipes are provided in the decorative panels, frame panels and exterior wall panels. The air pipes in the decorative panels, frame panels and exterior wall panels extend to the assembly grooves and assembly protrusions. Matching air pipe connectors are provided on the assembly grooves and assembly protrusions. One-way air valves are provided in the air pipes.

[0030] It also includes a gas storage module, which is also equipped with an assembly groove and a gas pipe. The gas storage module has a gas storage chamber, which is connected to the gas pipe. The gas storage chamber is connected to an outlet pipe, which is equipped with a sequence valve that opens after reaching the rated pressure. The outlet pipe is connected to a drive converter, which is used to convert the airflow output from the outlet pipe into mechanical energy.

[0031] Beneficial effects: During assembly, the assembly protrusions are inserted into the assembly grooves. The movement of the assembly protrusions and grooves is similar to that of a piston, compressing the gas and forcing it from the gas pipe connector into the gas pipe. The gas storage block is connected to other blocks, and the gas forced into the gas pipe is eventually transmitted step by step to the gas storage block. The gas storage block has a gas storage chamber, which continuously receives the forced gas, causing the gas pressure inside the storage chamber to gradually increase. Finally, when the rated pressure is reached, the sequence valve opens, and the gas rushes out to the drive converter, where it is converted into kinetic energy.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes motion execution tiles, which demonstrate motion through mechanical energy provided by the driver converter.

[0033] Beneficial effect: Once the rated pressure is reached, the drive converter will provide kinetic energy to the motion execution module, thereby causing the motion execution module to move. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The exterior wall panels include color-changing panels made of electrochromic glass;

[0042] The base, frame, and exterior wall panels are all provided with mounting grooves, while the decorative and frame panels are provided with several mounting protrusions. The mounting grooves and protrusions are detachably connected, and each mounting groove and protrusion is provided with a conductive metal sheet. The frame panels contain conductive wires.

[0043] Users can change the state of the exterior wall panels by energizing the exposed conductive metal sheets.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:

[0046] This modular simulated ancient building toy model includes a base assembly 1, several decorative assembly pieces 2, several skeleton assembly pieces 3, and several exterior wall assembly pieces 4. The base assembly piece 1 has a power source, which is a battery. Decorative lights 11 are glued and fixed to the outside of the base assembly piece 1, skeleton assembly piece 3, and several exterior wall assembly pieces 4. The exterior wall assembly pieces 4 include color-changing wall pieces 5 and regular wall pieces. The color-changing wall pieces 5 are made of electrochromic glass, and their colors and patterns are the same as those of the regular wall pieces. The decorative assembly pieces 2 include carved pieces and furniture pieces. The furniture pieces include lighting-type furniture, and the lighting-type furniture has LED lights 10 installed inside. The LED lights 10 light up when the color-changing wall pieces 5 switch to transparent.

[0047] Each of the base assembly 1, decorative assembly 2, frame assembly 3, and exterior wall assembly 4 is equipped with a controller 12. The controller 12 is model STC89C52RC and has a pre-set serial number.

[0048] The base assembly 1, the frame assembly 3, and the outer wall assembly 4 are all provided with assembly grooves 7. The decorative assembly 2 and the frame assembly 3 are provided with several assembly protrusions 6. The assembly protrusions 6 are made of elastic material. The assembly grooves 7 and the assembly protrusions 6 are detachably connected by interference fit. The assembly grooves 7 and the assembly protrusions 6 are all integrally formed with conductive metal sheets 9. The conductive metal sheets 9 are gold fingers. The gold fingers are used to transmit current and signals. The frame assembly 3 is provided with conductive wires 13. The base assembly 1 is equipped with a switch for controlling the power supply and a signal transmission interface. The signal transmission interface is connected to the controller signal.

[0049] The controller 12 inside the base panel 1 is used to collect the controller number information and assembly connection relationship of the base panel 1, decorative panel 2, frame panel 3 and exterior wall panel 4; the controller 12 inside the base panel 1 is electrically connected to a timer, and the controller 12 inside the base panel 1 is used to control the decorative light 11 to light up from 20 to 24.

[0050] The signal transmission interface is used to export the numbering information and assembly connection relationship of the base panel 1, decorative panel 2, frame panel 3 and exterior wall panel 4. The signal transmission interface is also used to import the numbering information and assembly connection relationship of the base panel 1, decorative panel 2, frame panel 3 and exterior wall panel 4. A buzzer is fixed in the base panel 1 with screws. The controller 12 in the base panel 1 is used to verify the collected numbering information and assembly connection relationship according to the imported numbering information and assembly connection relationship. When an assembly connection relationship error occurs, the buzzer is controlled to provide a prompt.

[0051] The specific implementation process is as follows: Users can use the skeleton assembly block 3 to construct the framework of the ancient building model on the base assembly block 1, and then decorate and improve the ancient building using decorative assembly blocks 2 and exterior wall assembly blocks 4, thus completing the assembly of the ancient building model. During the assembly process, users can mix and match color-changing wall blocks 5 with regular wall blocks to create a more distinctive display style.

[0052] After assembly, users can export their assembly design via the signal transmission interface. The assembly design data originates from the information exchange between controllers 12 in the base module 1, decorative module 2, frame module 3, and exterior wall module 4 via gold fingers. Users can save and share the exported assembly design or use the assembly connection relationships to build a digital model. Users can also import assembly designs via the signal transmission interface. After importing the assembly design, controller 12 in base module 1 will verify the user's assembly process based on the collected assembly connection relationships, assisting the user in quickly completing the construction of the imported assembly design.

[0053] Users can control the exterior wall panel 4 with a switch to transform it into a transparent state. In this transparent state, users can observe the interior of the ancient building model through the exterior wall, appreciating its interior and utilizing the space to achieve a more effective expression of the content. The exterior wall also reduces dust ingress, lowering maintenance costs.

[0054] When the outer wall panel 4 is made transparent, the LED lights 10 inside the ancient building model will light up to enhance the lighting and shadows inside the model, creating a better atmosphere and increasing the brightness inside the model for easier observation by users.

[0055] Decorative lamp 11 can provide illumination in dark environments, and at the same time, it can outline the lines of some ancient building models with light to enhance the visual appeal. The controller 12 in the base block 1 will keep track of time so that the decorative lamp 11 will be automatically lit at night.

[0056] Example 3:

[0057] The difference from the above embodiments is as follows: Figure 4As shown, air pipes 14 are installed in the decorative panel 2, the frame panel 3 and the exterior wall panel 4. The air pipes 14 in the decorative panel 2, the frame panel 3 and the exterior wall panel 4 extend to the assembly groove 7 and the assembly protrusion 6. The assembly groove 7 and the assembly protrusion 6 are equipped with matching air pipe 14 connectors. One-way air valves 15 are installed in the air pipes 14.

[0058] It also includes a gas storage module 16, which is also provided with an assembly groove 7 and an air pipe 14. The gas storage module 16 has a gas storage chamber 17, which is connected to the air pipe 14. The gas storage chamber 17 is connected to an air outlet pipe 14. The air outlet pipe 14 is provided with a sequence valve 18 that opens after reaching the rated pressure. The air outlet pipe 14 is connected to a drive converter 19. The drive converter is used to convert the airflow output from the air outlet pipe 14 into mechanical energy. It also includes an action execution module 20, which performs action demonstrations using the mechanical energy provided by the drive converter.

[0059] During assembly, the assembly protrusion 6 is inserted into the assembly groove 7. The movement of the assembly protrusion 6 and the assembly groove 7 is similar to that of a piston, which compresses the gas and forces it from the connector of the gas pipe 14 into the gas pipe 14. The gas storage block 16 is connected to other blocks. The gas forced into the gas pipe 14 is eventually transferred to the gas storage block 16 through the gas pipe 14. The gas storage block 16 has a gas storage chamber 17. The gas storage chamber 17 continuously receives the compressed gas, causing the gas pressure in the gas storage chamber 17 to gradually increase. After reaching the rated pressure, the sequence valve 18 opens, and the gas rushes out to the drive converter 19, where it is converted into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy drives the action execution block 20 to perform corresponding actions, such as raising a flag, changing the lighting, or adjusting the background.

[0060] The one-way valve 15 prevents gas from entering through the assembly protrusion 6 and then being released through the assembly groove 7, which is connected to it. The sequence valve 18 opens when a certain pressure value is reached. By setting an appropriate pressure value, it can be triggered after the model is fully assembled, thereby detecting the integrity of the assembly. When the assembly is complete, the action of the assembly piece 20 will be executed to indicate successful assembly.
