[0014] In order to more fully explain the implementation of the utility model, implementation examples of the utility model are provided. These implementation examples are only for the purpose of illustrating the utility model and do not limit the scope of the utility model.

[0016] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a connecting component includes a cuboid 1, which is a cuboid cavity with a top surface 13 and no bottom surface, and a plurality of ribs 12 are fixedly arranged in the cuboid cavity. A central hole 10 is opened in the center of the cuboid, and a thread may or may not be arranged in the central hole. The central hole is connected to the four walls of the cuboid cavity by ribs 12.
[0017] The four corners of the rectangular cavity are integrally provided with the same edges and corners, and the edges and corners are formed by dividing a right trihedral angle into three identical triangular pyramids 4. In this embodiment, the triangular pyramid is a right-angled triangular pyramid, and the right-angled surface A of the triangular pyramid is located on the side where the long side 2 of the rectangular parallelepiped is located, the right-angled surface C of the triangular pyramid 4 is flush with the top surface, and the right-angled surface B is flush with the side 14 where the short side of the rectangular parallelepiped is located. There is an arc transition or a right angle between the right-angled surface B and the right-angled surface C on the triangular pyramid 4. In this embodiment, an arc transition 15 is used; the vertices of the triangular pyramids at the four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped 1 are connected to form a square, and the three The triangular pyramids on the connecting members are spliced together to form a right trihedral angle. The difference between the long side and the short side of the rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the height of the straight triangular pyramid. The height of the triangular pyramid refers to the height from the right angle face A to the vertex (i.e., the length of the right angle side shared by the right angle face B and the right angle face C). Two through holes 8 are provided on the top surface of the rectangular parallelepiped near the short side. The number of through holes can also be more. Screw holes 9 are provided on the side where the long side of the rectangular parallelepiped is located.

In this embodiment, an arc transition 15 is used.

A central hole is opened in the center of the rectangular parallelepiped of the connecting member, and threads are processed in part or all of the central holes.
[0019] As a further optimization, threads are processed in the center holes on the two opposite faces of the hexagonal toy so that the screw can be screwed through the two opposite faces.
