Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magic cube production equipment, in particular to a magic cube corner piece patch assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] The Rubik's Cube is generally composed of multiple unit blocks and multi-dimensional couplings. Taking the traditional three-order Rubik's Cube as an example, its main body is a cube structure, including 26 small blocks and a three-dimensional coupling. The small blocks include six center blocks located at the center of each face of the Rubik's Cube, eight corner blocks located at the corners of the Rubik's Cube, and twelve edge blocks located between two adjacent corner blocks. In this way, each face of the Rubik's Cube has nine small blocks. Based on the rotation characteristics of the three-dimensional coupling, each layer of the Rubik's Cube can rotate freely. When assembling the Rubik's Cube, the six center blocks are connected to the ends of the three-dimensional coupling, while the corner blocks and edge blocks are stuck on the inside of the center block to prevent the Rubik's Cube from falling apart.

[0003] The top cover of the Rubik's Cube corner block is usually made up of three patches. Its structure is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the corner patch 100 is formed by three patch bodies 110 with the same structure, which are spliced ​​together by the matching between the embedding grooves 120 and the embedding protrusions 130 set on the patch bodies 110, so that the embedding protrusions 130 set on one patch body 110 are embedded in the embedding grooves 120 set on another patch body 110. In the prior art, manual assembly is generally adopted, that is, the three patch bodies 110 are manually assembled together. However, manual operation is not only inefficient, but also often misses assembly, and the assembly quality cannot be guaranteed, which has become increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of modern production.
