For example, the splicing structure may be a plug-in and a slot set on each shell, and the plug-in and the slot are connected to the inner wall of the shell. In the assembled state, the plug-in on one of the two adjacent shells is inserted into the corresponding slot of the other, and the two adjacent shells are connected and fixed by the contact friction between the plug-in and the slot. However, the stability of this plug-in structure is very poor. When the shell is subjected to external force or falls to the ground, the shell may be deformed, causing the plug-in structure between the slot and the plug-in to deform, which easily reduces the friction between the plug-in and the slot, causing the plug-in and the slot to disengage, causing the entire corner block structure to fall apart, and the user experience is poor.
[0003] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a corner block, comprising: three shells 1, each of the shells 1 enclosed to form a cavity, the shells 1 are provided with a plug-in shell portion 11 and a sleeve shell portion 12, the sleeve shell portion 12 is provided with a bayonet 1211, the plug-in shell portion 11 is provided with a latching protrusion 1111, the plug-in shell portion 11 of one of the two adjacent shells 1 is plugged into the sleeve shell portion 12 of the other, and the latching protrusion 1111 on the plug-in shell portion 11 is latched into the bayonet 1211 of the sleeve shell portion 12. Among the three shells 1 of the corner block of the present application, in two adjacent shells 1, the plug-in shell part 11 of one is plugged into the sleeve shell part 12 of the other. The plug-in structure is simple and easy to install, and the protrusion 1111 on the plug-in shell part 11 is snapped into the snap-in hole 1211 of the sleeve shell part 12. The plug-in process is also carried out by snapping and fixing, so that the connection structure of the two adjacent shells 1 has good stability. When the shell 1 is subjected to external force or falls to the ground, even if the shell 1 is deformed, the snap-in and fixed structure can ensure the stability of the structure and will not be easily detached to cause the shell 1 to scatter, and the user experience is good.
[0035] In the present application embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the three shells 1 are spliced with each other in pairs, the plug-in shell part 11 of one of the two adjacent shells 1 is plugged into the sleeve shell part 12 of the other, and the protrusion 1111 on the plug-in shell part 11 is inserted into the socket 1211 of the sleeve shell part 12, finally forming a complete corner block shape of the Rubik's Cube.
[0036] The sleeve shell 12 has two first plates 121, the two first plates 121 are arranged at intervals, a slot is formed between the two first plates 121, and the bayonet 1211 is provided on at least one of the first plates 121. The plug-in shell 11 is plugged between the two first plates 121, and the protrusion 1111 on the plug-in shell 11 is plugged on the bayonet 1211. The distance between the two first plates 121 can be the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the plug-in shell 11, so as to ensure that the plug-in shell 11 can be just plugged between the two first plates 121. Such a plug-in structure is simple and easy to assemble. When two adjacent shells 1 are being spliced together, the plug-in shell portion 11 is inserted into the slot between the two first plates 121, and the latching protrusion 1111 slides on the corresponding first plate 121 to the latching slot 1211, and is finally latched into the latching slot 1211. At this time, the two shells 1 are spliced together, the latching structure is not easy to come off, the structural stability is good, and the assembly accuracy is guaranteed.
[0037] The sleeve shell 12 has a first connecting plate 122 connecting the two first plates 121, and a deformation notch 1221 is provided on the first connecting plate 122. The slot is formed between the two first plates 121 and the first connecting plate 122, and the first connecting plate 122 increases the structural strength between the two first plates 121, and the structural stability is better. The deformation notch 1221 increases the deformation space of the slot. If the deformation notch 1221 is not provided, the deformation space of the slot is small, and the plug-in shell 11 is not easy to insert into the slot or it is difficult to plug in, which may easily cause damage to any one or more of the two first plates 121 and the first connecting plate 122. The deformation notch 1221 is provided on the first connecting plate 122, which increases the deformation space of the slot, makes the plug-in shell 11 easy to insert into the slot, and is not easy to break and damage.
[0038] A first reinforcing rib 1212 is disposed on one side of the first plate 121 away from the slot, and the first reinforcing rib 1212 is connected to the housing 1. Multiple first reinforcing ribs 1212 are disposed on one side of the two first plates 121 away from the slot, and the first reinforcing ribs 1212 are connected between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the first plate 121, and the first reinforcing ribs 1212 increase the structural strength of the first plate 121, so that it is not easy to break or be damaged during the plugging process.
[0039] In a possible embodiment, the plug-in shell 11 includes two second plates 111, the two second plates 111 are arranged at intervals, the two second plates 111 are connected to the housing 1, and the outer surface of at least one of the second plates 111 is provided with the clamping protrusion 1111. The plug-in shell 11 also includes a second connecting plate 112 connecting the two second plates 111, and the second connecting plate 112 increases the structural strength between the two second plates 111, and the structural stability is better and not easy to break. The housing 1 is usually made of plastic material and has a certain elasticity. During the plug-in process, the plug-in shell 11 is inserted into the slot, so that the two second plates 111 are close to each other, and the space between the two second plates 111 ensures the deformation space of the two second plates 111. When the clamping protrusion 1111 is clamped in the bayonet 1211, the two second plates 111 elastically recover and move away from each other, so that the clamping protrusion 1111 can be tightly clamped in the bayonet 1211, ensuring the stability of the connection. The second connecting plate 112 ensures that the deformation of the two second plate bodies 111 is not too large, and the plug-in shell 11 can be inserted into the slot and fit tightly.
[0040] The second reinforcing ribs 1112 are arranged on the inner surface of the second plate 111, and the second reinforcing ribs 1112 are connected to the housing 1. The outer surfaces of the two second plate 111 are in contact with the inner surfaces of the two first plate 121, and the second reinforcing ribs 1112 can only be arranged on the inner surface of the second plate 111. The inner surfaces of the two second plate 111 are provided with a plurality of the second reinforcing ribs 1112, and the second reinforcing ribs 1112 are connected between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the second plate 111. The second reinforcing ribs 1112 increase the structural strength of the second plate 111, and are not easily broken or damaged during the plugging process.
[0041] A set of the plug-in shell part 11 and the sleeve shell part 12 is arranged on the top side of the shell 1, and a set of the plug-in shell part 11 and the sleeve shell part 12 is arranged on the bottom side of the shell 1. In this way, the bottom and the top of the shell 1 are fixed, so that the overall stability of the corner block of the present application is better, and the shells are not easy to be separated.
[0042] In a possible implementation, an extension plate 13 is provided at the edge of the shell 1, and the extension plate 13 extends out of the shell 1. In two adjacent shells 1, the extension plate 13 of one extends to the inner wall of the other. There will be a small gap at the joint of two adjacent shells 1, and the structural strength at the gap is weak. The extension plate 13 plays a supporting role at the gap to prevent the gap from becoming larger.
[0043] In a possible implementation, a mating rib 14 is protruding from the inner wall of the shell 1, and in two adjacent shells 1, the extension plate 13 of one abuts against the mating rib 14 of the other. During the splicing process of the two adjacent shells 1, when the extension plate 13 of one abuts against the mating rib 14 of the other, the two shells 1 are spliced in place, and the mating rib 14 supports the extension plate 13 and limits the extension plate 13 to the corresponding mating rib 14, and the mating rib 14 also plays a role in precise positioning.
[0044] The shell 1 is provided with a plurality of extension plates 13, each of which is arranged at intervals along the edge of the shell 1. The extension plates 13 are arranged at intervals along one peripheral edge of the shell 1. The shell 1 is provided with a plurality of matching ribs 14, each of which is arranged at intervals along the inner wall close to the edge of the shell 1. After two adjacent shells 1 are spliced, the extension plates 13 can be pressed against the matching ribs 14 of another adjacent shell 1, and the extension plates 13 can be pressed against the gap to keep the gap flat, and the gap is not easy to deform or collapse.
[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form. Although the utility model has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the utility model. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical content suggested above into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the utility model. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the utility model still falls within the scope of the solution of the utility model.
