Detailed implementation manners
[0029] The following further clearly and completely describes the technical solution of the present utility model through embodiments in conjunction with the attached drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, without creative labor, all other embodiments obtained belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present utility model are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0031] Such as Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, a Sudoku game device includes a chessboard 1 and several chess piece components 2. A PCB board 3 is arranged inside the chessboard 1. A control module and a detection module are arranged on the PCB board 3. The chessboard 1 is provided with chess positions 13 arranged in a 6*6 or 9*9 matrix. The chess piece components 2 include several chess pieces 21 marked with different numerical values. The total number of the chess positions 13 is the same as that of the chess pieces 21. A first light-emitting element 4 is arranged inside the chess position 13. The first light-emitting element 4 is connected to the control module. The chess piece 21 includes a chess piece main body 211 and a chess piece base 212 that are fixedly connected to each other and enclose a first installation cavity. A to-be-tested resistor 213 is arranged inside the cavity. The resistance values of the to-be-tested resistors 213 between different chess pieces 21 in the same chess piece component 2 are all different. Each resistance value corresponds to a chess piece 21 with a different numerical value. The resistance values of the to-be-tested resistors 213 of the chess pieces 21 marked with the same numerical value between different chess piece components 2 are the same. Two guiding electromagnets 214 are arranged in pairs at the bottom of the chess piece base 212. Correspondingly, two iron electrodes 131 are arranged in pairs at the bottom inside the chess position 13. Two ends of the to-be-tested resistor 213 are respectively connected to the two guiding electromagnets 214. The iron electrode 131 is connected to the detection module.
[0032] When the user places the chess piece 21 inside the chess position 13, the guiding electromagnet 214 at the bottom of the chess piece 21 will be adsorbed on the iron electrode 131. At this time, the circuit is connected. The detection module can detect the resistance value of the to-be-tested resistor 213 inside the chess piece 21 and send a signal corresponding to the numerical value to the control module for the control module to identify. It effectively solves the problems that the connection between the chessboard and the chess pieces of traditional game appliances uses a contact connection, which is prone to unstable connection and wear caused by the shaking of the chess pieces. And during use, it can prevent the situation that the chess piece 21 falls off the chessboard or the chess pieces are in a mess under the influence of external forces such as moving the chessboard 1 or accidentally touching the chess piece 21.
[0033] In this embodiment, the iron electrode 131 can be made of materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. that can be attracted by a magnet and have electrical conductivity.
[0034] As Figures 6-7 shown, in order to prevent the chess piece 21 from falling to the ground during use, resulting in the loosening or damage of the connection between the to-be-tested resistor 213 and the guiding electromagnet 214, an installation seat 2121 is arranged at the top of the chess piece base 212 inside the first installation cavity for fixing the to-be-tested resistor 213. An installation groove 2122 is arranged at the bottom of the chess piece base 212 for fixing the guiding electromagnet 214.
[0035] The chess positions 13 are not limited to the "six-grid", and can also be the "nine-grid", "four-grid", etc. According to the different grids, the numbers of the chess positions 13, the chess pieces 21, and the first light-emitting elements 4 are also different. For example, when the chess position 13 is the "six-grid", the chess positions 13 are arranged in a 6*6 matrix on the chessboard 1, and the numbers of the chess positions 13, the chess pieces 21, and the first light-emitting elements 4 are 36; when the chessboard is the "four-grid", the numbers of the chess positions 13, the chess pieces 21, and the first light-emitting elements 4 are 16; the resistance values of the to-be-tested resistors 213 can be divided into different gears, such as 1Ω-6Ω, and the number of gears is the same as the number of the chess pieces 21 in each chess piece component 2. When the number of the chess pieces is 6 and they respectively represent the values 1-6, the resistance values of the to-be-tested resistors 213 can be 1Ω-6Ω, corresponding to the chess pieces 21 representing the values 1-6.
[0036] The control module includes a processing chip, which can be a single-chip microcomputer installed on the PCB board 3 or other known module structures with data processing capabilities; the detection module includes several detection units, and each detection unit is correspondingly connected to a to-be-tested resistor 213 through a conductive electromagnet 214 and an iron electrode 131. The detection circuit of the resistance of the detection unit is well-known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.
[0037] The control module also includes a storage unit, which has an information storage function. Usually, a question bank is pre-stored, which can be divided into different levels according to different difficulties for users to choose. After the user inputs the level they want to play, the processing chip receives the question-setting instruction corresponding to the level, reads the question bank in the storage unit according to the question-setting instruction, and lights up the first light-emitting element 4 to realize the prompt for placing the chess pieces; it can also record the values of the chess pieces 21 placed on each chess position 13. During the game process, after the detection module identifies the values of the chess pieces 21 on each chess position 13, the storage unit stores the information of each chess piece 21, and after the processing chip compares the positions of the chess pieces 21, it judges whether the problem-solving is completed.
[0038] Such as Figure 1 and 5As shown in the figure, a control board 5 is provided inside the chessboard 1. A plurality of indicator lights 6 are provided on the front surface of the chessboard 1. The indicator light 6 includes a lamp shade 61 provided on the front surface of the chessboard 1. A second light-emitting element 62 is provided inside the lamp shade 61. The second light-emitting element 62 is installed on the control board 5. The number of the indicator lights 6 is the same as the number of the chess pieces 21 in each chess piece assembly 2. Each indicator light 6 is correspondingly marked with a chess piece 21 with a different value (achieved by marking corresponding numbers, letters or setting different colors on the indicator light 6. For example, marking numbers 1-6 corresponds to the values 1-6 of the chess piece 21, and marking a-f corresponds to the values 1-6 of the chess piece 21, etc.); the control board 5 is connected to the control module, and the control board 5 and the PCB board 3 can also be integrally provided.
[0039] In this embodiment, taking the "six-grid" as an example, the chess piece assembly 2 includes 36 chess pieces and is divided into 6 groups. The chess pieces 21 in each group are respectively provided with different numbers from 1 to 6. When the user starts the game, some of the first light-emitting elements 4 will light up, prompting the user to place the chess piece 21 with the number 1 in the corresponding chess position 13. When the user finishes placing, the detection module will send the detected value of the chess piece 21 to the control module for comparison. If all are correct, the control module controls the extinguishing of the lit first light-emitting elements 4, and the first light-emitting elements in the second batch of chess positions 13 that need to place the chess piece with the number 2 will light up, and so on, giving the user a prompt for placing the chess piece, and finally completing the game; by setting the indicator lights 6, more prompts can be given to the user. For example, when the chess piece with the marked value of 1 needs to be placed, the corresponding indicator light 6 will light up at this time, and at the same time the corresponding first light-emitting element 4 will also light up, reducing the game difficulty, being applicable to different people, and bringing more fun.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first light-emitting element 4 and the second light-emitting element 62 can be known light-emitting components such as LED lamp beads.

The key 7 is connected to the control module; the key 7 is used to select different "game levels" and control the opening and closing of the device. Different "game levels" correspond to questions with different difficulty levels in the question bank of the storage unit.
[0042] As Figure 1 and 5As shown in the figure, a screen 8 is provided on the control board 5. The screen 8 passes through the chessboard 1 and is arranged on the outer surface of the chessboard 1.

The screen 8 is connected to the control module; the screen 8 can also be an existing liquid crystal display screen.
[0043] A timing module is also provided on the PCB board 3. The timing module is connected to the control module. When the user starts the game, the timing module starts timing and is displayed on the screen 8 through the control module. By calculating the clearance time each time, the training effect is achieved.
[0044] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, a sound-emitting device 9 is further arranged inside the chessboard 1. The sound-emitting device 9 is used to give prompts when the user clears the level or places the chess pieces 21 incorrectly. The sound-emitting device 9 can be an existing component such as a speaker that can emit sound. The sound-emitting device 9 is connected to the control module.
[0045] As Figure 5 and 8 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the chessboard 1 is composed of an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 that are fixedly connected to each other and enclose a second installation cavity. A screen installation position 111 is provided on the upper shell 11 for installing and fixing the screen 8.
