[0028] In order to allow players to flexibly connect building blocks to complete stable and rich building shapes, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a toy building block connector, which includes a connector body 110, and the connector body 110 includes a first end face 101 and a second end face 102 arranged opposite to the first end face 101. At least one of the first end face 101 and the second end face 102 is inwardly recessed to form a cross-shaped groove 103. Each end of the cross-shaped groove 103 penetrates the side of the connector body 110 respectively. The cross-shaped groove 103 has a certain elastic deformation ability.

[0029] When in use, the player inserts the building blocks 200 into the corresponding cross-shaped grooves 103 to form a 90° or 180° connection between the building blocks, which satisfies the player's need to use the building blocks to flexibly and quickly build stable and rich shapes.

[0030] In the present application, the player may be a child. The building blocks may be plate-shaped building blocks made of wood material. The connector body 110 may be made of plastic or metal material.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a first toy building block connector 100a provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a second toy building block connector 100b provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The first toy building block connector 100a and the second toy building block connector 100b may be collectively referred to as toy building block connectors. Figure 1 Only the first end surface 101 of the first toy building block connector 100a is provided with a cross-shaped groove 103, and the second end surface 102 of the first toy building block connector 100a is a plane. Figure 2A cross-shaped groove 103 is formed on the first end surface 101 and the second end surface 102 of the second toy building block connector 100 b , and the two cross-shaped grooves 103 are arranged back to back.

[0032] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector body 110 includes a base plate portion 111 and a side plate portion 112 . A group of side plate portions 112 are disposed on at least one side of the base plate portion 111 . The group of side plate portions 112 and the base plate portion 111 are combined to form a cross-shaped groove 103 .

[0033] To further enrich the build, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The toy building block connector also includes a shelf portion 120 , and a side of each side plate portion 112 facing away from the cross-shaped groove 103 is connected to the shelf portion 120 .

[0034] In this embodiment, one end surface of the shelf portion 120 close to the opening of the cross-shaped groove 103 can be used to place building blocks.

[0035] More specifically, the shelf portion 120 is disposed parallel to the bottom surface of the cross-shaped groove 103 .

[0036] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base plate portion 111 is cross-shaped, and a set of side plate portions 112 and the edge of the base plate portion 111 are surrounded to form a cross-shaped groove 103 .

[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 Since the base plate portion 111 is cross-shaped, the end surface of the shelf portion 120 close to the base plate portion 111 can also be used to place building blocks.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 2 The first end surface 101 and the second end surface 102 are both recessed inward to form a cross-shaped groove 103. Along the groove depth direction of the cross-shaped groove 103, the distance between adjacent shelf parts 120 is the same as the groove width of the cross-shaped groove 103, so as to accommodate the building block 200 between the two adjacent shelf parts 120.

[0039] To improve the stability of the connection, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector body 110 includes an elastic protrusion structure 104. A plurality of elastic protrusion structures 104 are spaced apart on any pair of oppositely disposed groove side walls in the cross-shaped groove 103. The elastic protrusion structure 104 can also be made of plastic or metal material.

[0040] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The elastic protrusion structure 104 is arranged in a long strip shape and extends along the depth direction of the cross-shaped groove 103 .

[0041] In order to facilitate the player to guide the building block 200 into the cross-shaped groove 103, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The notch edge of the cross-shaped groove 103 is rounded.

[0042] To ensure that young players can build safely, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corners of the connector body 110 and the shelf portion 120 are both rounded.

[0043] Figures 3 to 6 Schematic diagrams of shapes one, two, three and four constructed using the toy building block connector provided by the present invention are shown respectively, wherein the first toy building block connector 100a and the second toy building block connector 100b of the present application are used. Figure 3 It can be seen that the first toy building block connector 100a can connect four building blocks together to form a stable base shape. Through the second toy building block connector 100b, higher shapes can be continuously built along the first direction. Figure 4 It can be seen that the first toy building block connector 100a can be used to support and stabilize the four building blocks 200 fixedly connected by the second toy building block connector 100b. By analogy, some buildings and bridges can be built. By connecting the first toy building block connector 100a to the bottom of the vertically placed building block 200, compared with the building block directly supported on the ground with its end face, the building block is in contact with the ground through the second end face 102 of the first toy building block connector 100a, which makes the vertically placed building block 200 more stable. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen in the figure, by utilizing the shelf portion 120 in the toy building block connector, a platform-like shape can be built.

[0044] The utility model provides a concept and method for a toy building block connector. There are many methods and ways to implement the technical solution. The above is only a preferred implementation of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model. All components not specified in this embodiment can be implemented by existing technologies.
