Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of educational toys, in particular to a ball maze toy which is convenient for changing routes. Background Art

[0002] Existing ball maze toys, such as CN206508552U, include a toy board body. On the upper surface of the toy board body, there are respectively provided a magnet moving pen storage groove and a closed ball slideway. A magnet moving pen is installed in the magnet moving pen storage groove, and more than 1 ball is installed in the closed ball slideway. The upper surface of the toy board body on one side where the closed ball slideway is opened is connected to a transparent plastic board, and the lower surface of the toy board body is connected to a white board. More than 1 magnetic modeling block and a white board pen are respectively adhered to the white board. The toy described in the utility model integrates a ball maze game and a modeling puzzle, and can also be used for painting, writing, and arithmetic on the white board, which can comprehensively develop children's intelligence and can attract children's interest and attention for a long time.

[0003] Existing ball maze toys cannot change the established route of the maze by themselves. After playing once and knowing which route to take, they will lose their freshness and no longer want to play.

[0004] Therefore, a ball maze toy that can flexibly change the maze route by itself is needed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a ball maze toy that can flexibly change the maze route by itself.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A ball maze toy which is convenient for changing routes includes a maze layer. The maze layer includes a bottom plate and a plurality of movable plates. The bottom plate includes a peripheral guardrail and a receiving cavity surrounded by the peripheral guardrail. The movable plates are detachably arranged in the receiving cavity, and a ball channel is arranged at the top of the movable plates. There is also an active ball matching the ball channel.

[0008] Preferably, a ball outlet matching the size of the active ball can also be arranged on the peripheral guardrail.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball channels are arranged on several movable plates that can be detached from the bottom plate. According to one's own ideas, by arranging the movable plates with different forms of ball channels in different forms in the accommodating cavity, one can customize one's favorite unique ball channel maze route. It will not be the case that once the maze is walked through, there will be no more novel experiences. Instead, the maze route can be flexibly changed by oneself, greatly improving the playability.

[0010] As an improved solution, the accommodating cavity is rectangular, and the movable plates are rectangular or right-angled triangles or trapezoids.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the accommodating cavity and the movable plates are combined and spliced in a form similar to a tangram, increasing the factors that need to be considered and further improving the playability.

[0012] As an improved solution, the movable plates are rectangular, the accommodating cavity includes several partitions, adjacent partitions are separated by partition walls, and the partition walls are provided with ball passing openings or plate passing openings. The size of the ball passing openings is not less than the diameter of the movable balls, and the size of the plate passing openings is not less than the area of the smallest movable plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple different partitions can be set, and it can be arranged that each partition only uses the movable plates within this partition to set the maze route. At this time, the two partitions are connected by the ball passing openings. It can also be arranged that the movable plates between the two partitions can circulate flexibly through the plate passing openings. At this time, the two partitions are connected by the plate passing openings. In this way, the balls can pass through each partition in turn like breaking through checkpoints, or choose to pass through different partitions to reach the end of the maze, further improving the playability.

[0014] As an improved solution, the movable plates are equilateral triangles / regular hexagons, and the accommodating cavity is an equilateral triangle / regular hexagon.

[0015] As an improved solution, a magnet is provided at the top of the accommodating cavity, and a magnetic part matching the magnet is provided at the bottom of the movable plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the maze layer is dropped and overturned, the movable plates are not easily scattered everywhere, and there is no need to pick up the movable plates that have fallen all over the place.

[0017] As an improved solution, the movable balls are made of ferromagnetic materials, and a guiding magnetic part matching the movable balls is also included.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable balls can be easily attracted by the guiding magnetic part and roll along the predetermined maze route, and the operation is simple, convenient and easy to master.

[0019] As an improved solution, it includes several maze layers with different vertical heights. The several maze layers with different vertical heights are parallel to each other, and any one of the maze layers overlaps at least partially with one maze layer with a different vertical height in the horizontal direction.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after completing the route of the upper maze layer, the movable ball can fall from the edge of the upper maze layer and reach the lower maze layer to continue the game. It can even take different routes and choose which lower maze layer to fall into, further enriching the gameplay.

[0021] As an improved solution, the movable plate includes a ball-drop plate. The ball-drop plate is provided with a plate ball-drop hole penetrating up and down, and the accommodating cavity is provided with a bottom plate ball-drop hole penetrating up and down. The bottom plate ball-drop hole is arranged at a position where the ball-drop plate can pass through as it moves.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable ball can fall from the upper maze layer through the plate ball-drop hole and the bottom plate ball-drop hole and reach the lower maze layer to continue the game. Moreover, the player needs to accurately move the ball-drop plate to a position where it is aligned with the bottom plate ball-drop hole, and only then can the movable ball fall from the upper maze layer to the lower maze layer to continue the game.

[0023] As an improved solution, the movable plate includes a ball-drop plate. The ball-drop plate is provided with a plate ball-drop hole penetrating up and down, and the accommodating cavity is provided with a bottom plate ball-drop hole penetrating up and down. The bottom surface of the accommodating cavity is inclined, and the bottom plate ball-drop hole is arranged at the lowest point of the bottom surface.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable ball can fall from the upper maze layer through the plate ball-drop hole and the bottom plate ball-drop hole and reach the lower maze layer to continue the game. Moreover, as long as the player guides the movable ball to reach the ball-drop plate, the movable ball can fall from the upper maze layer to the lower maze layer to continue the game.

[0025] As an improved solution, a maze frame is further provided. The maze frame is provided with a layer plate guide rail, and the maze layer is slidably arranged on the layer plate guide rail.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the maze layer can be translated horizontally on the maze frame, enabling the upper maze layer to choose which lower maze layer the movable ball will fall into to continue the game.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0028] By arranging the ball channels on several movable plates that can be detached from the bottom plate, one can customize their favorite unique ball channel maze route according to their own ideas. By arranging movable plates with different forms of ball channels in different forms in the receiving cavity, it is possible to avoid having no new and novel experience after passing through the maze once, but instead be able to flexibly change the maze route by oneself, greatly enhancing the playability.
