[0038] As shown in the figure, in order to solve the problem that when the light-emitting parts are directly installed on the building block toys, the circuit board is exposed, which poses certain safety hazards during use, the present application provides a building block assembly, which is mainly assembled from a shell and a light-emitting module installed inside the shell.

[0039] An installation cavity is formed inside the housing, and the outer wall of the housing has a light-transmitting opening 40, an opening structure 50 and a building block hole 27. The opening structure 50 is used for allowing the wires connected to the light-emitting module to pass through the housing.

[0040] The light emitting module is installed in the installation cavity inside the housing. The light emitting module includes a circuit board 31 and a light emitting element 32 arranged on the circuit board 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, since the building blocks 60 in the prior art have a variety of shapes, different building blocks 60 can be assembled to form different shapes, and the housing of the building block assembly of the present application is provided with a building block hole 27, through which the building block assembly can be connected to the building block column of the building block 60. For the building block assembly installed on the building block 60, the divergent light from the light-emitting module emitted by the light-transmitting opening 40 can be used to change the lighting effect of the building block assembly on other building blocks 60. Moreover, by adjusting the orientation of the building block assembly relative to the building block 60, thereby changing the orientation of the light-transmitting opening to illuminate different building blocks 60, such as changing the light intensity, light frequency, light color, etc. of the light-emitting element 32, different lighting effects can also be achieved.

[0043] It can be understood that the light-transmitting opening 40 is an opening on the outer wall of the shell for the light-emitting module to emit light from the inside of the shell to the outside of the shell. The light-emitting module is installed in the installation cavity inside the shell, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 32 on the light-emitting module is emitted from the light-transmitting opening 40 to the outside of the shell to achieve a lighting effect.

[0044] It can be understood that the opening structure 50 is an opening on the outer wall of the shell connecting the inside and outside of the shell, which can allow the wires connected to the light-emitting module to pass through the shell from the inside, so that the light-emitting module can be connected to an external power supply to achieve a lighting effect.

[0045] In particular, a light source prompt mark 16 is provided on the top of the shell, which can help distinguish the building block assembly from ordinary building blocks.

The first card slot 12 and the second card slot 22 are combined to form a light-transmitting opening 40.

[0050] Alternatively, a first slot 11 is provided at both ends of the first shell 10, and a second slot 21 is provided at both ends of the second shell 20, and the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 can be combined to form two opening structures 50; at the same time, a first card slot 12 is provided on the end surface of the first shell 10, and a second card slot 22 is provided on the end surface of the second shell 20, and the first card slot 12 and the second card slot 22 are combined to form a light-transmitting opening 40.

[0051] Preferably, a chamfer is provided on the light-transmitting opening 40, and the chamfer expands the light-transmitting opening 40 from the inside of the shell to the outside of the shell, which is conducive to diffusing the light emitted by the light-emitting module and improving the lighting efficiency. In other embodiments, a first chamfer 121 is provided on the first card slot 12, and a second chamfer 221 is provided on the second card slot 22. The corresponding first chamfer 121 and second chamfer 221 have the same inclination angle. When the first card slot 12 and the second card slot 22 are matched to form the light-transmitting opening 40, a chamfer is formed. The chamfer expands the light-transmitting opening 40 from the inside of the shell to the outside of the shell, which is conducive to diffusing the light of the light-emitting module, reducing the coverage rate of the shell on the light emitted by the light-emitting module, and thus improving the lighting efficiency of the light-emitting module.

[0052] Specifically, the housing is divided into a first housing 10 and a second housing 20. The inner wall of the first housing 10 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure 13, and the second housing 20 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure 23.

Through the clipping of the recessed portion 131 and the protruding portion 231, the second clip structure 23 is reversely locked on the first clip structure 13 to realize the clipping between the second shell 20 and the first shell 10. After the two are clipped together, an installation cavity is formed in the middle.

[0054] In one embodiment, a groove 15 is provided in the first housing 10 , and a protrusion 311 is provided on the circuit board 31 , wherein the protrusion 311 can be engaged with the groove 15 , so that the light emitting module is positioned and installed relative to the housing.

In this embodiment, the positioning block 26 abuts against the side wall of the terminal 33, so that the circuit board 31 where the terminal 33 is located can be positioned inside the second housing 20, thereby assisting in fixing the light-emitting module. At the same time, the positioning block 26 can further prevent the circuit board 31 from being exposed from the opening structure 50.

[0058] In this embodiment, the building block assembly of the present application can be electrically connected to an external power source through the terminal 33 to realize power supply to the light-emitting module, or the building block assembly of the present application can be directly electrically connected to an external power source through a wire to realize power supply to the light-emitting module.

At the same time, the two positioning blocks 26 respectively abut against the side walls of the two terminals 33, that is, one end away from the left and right ends of the circuit board 31, to assist in positioning, so that the circuit board 31 where the terminals 33 are located can be positioned inside the second shell 20, avoiding the circuit board from being exposed from the opening structure, while facilitating the protrusion 24 to pass through the through hole 312 and be clamped with the connecting column 14 through the connecting hole 241, so as to achieve the installation of the circuit board 31 in the mounting cavity.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, a receiving groove 25 is provided in the second housing 20, and the outer axis of the receiving groove 25 is matched with the outer axis of the light-emitting element 32, so that the receiving groove 25 can accommodate the light-emitting element 32.
