However, the above-mentioned soft light strip needs a housing to encapsulate the light source assembly, with a complex structure setting and relatively higher cost, which is not suitable for building block toys, and the setting of the input connector and the output connector is also not conducive to quickly combining and connecting multiple light strips. Summary of the Utility Model

The shapes of the first building block structure and the second building block structure are concave-convex adapted, so that the support rod, the transfer arm and the decorative top are detachably connected into one body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are as follows: The toy light string provided by the present utility model electrically connects a plurality of light source bodies into a light string via a wire, omitting the setting of the housing structure, making the overall structure of the toy light string simpler and more compact, and the production cost lower.

[0030] Please refer toFigures 1-7 , this embodiment provides a luminous building block toy, including a telegraph pole 100 and a toy light string that are detachably conductively connected.

[0031] In this embodiment, the telegraph pole 100 includes a support rod 110, two adapter arms 120, and a decorative top 130. Among them, a first building block structure 210 is provided on one side of the support rod 110, and a second building block structure 220 is provided on one side of the decorative top 130. The first building block structure 210 and the second building block structure 220 are oppositely arranged on each adapter arm 120. It should be noted that the shapes of the first building block structure 210 and the second building block structure 220 are concavo-convexly adapted. Specifically, the first building block structure 210 is a plurality of convex blocks distributed in rows and columns, and the second building block structure 220 is a square-shaped groove. Through the detachable concavo-convex plug-in connection relationship between the first building block structure 210 and the second building block structure 220, the support rod 110, the plurality of adapter arms 120, and the decorative top 130 can be detachably connected into one body.

[0032] It can be understood that the above-mentioned detachable building block structure setting enables the telegraph pole 100 to adjust the connection number of the adapter arms 120 according to the needs of the player; it can also adjust the actual connecting components of the telegraph pole 100 according to the needs of the player, such as removing the support rod 110 and / or the decorative top 130, etc.

[0033] Among them, the adapter arm 120 is used to electrically connect the toy light string on the telegraph pole 100. In this embodiment, a conductive head 121 is fixed at each of the opposite ends of each adapter arm 120. The plurality of conductive heads 121 on the adapter arm 120 are electrically connected through a conductive member 122 (such as a wire, a conductive plate, etc.), and the conductive member 122 is encapsulated inside the adapter arm 120. The connection end of the conductive head 121 and the toy light string is detachably conductively connected. When the conductive head 121 is connected to the connection end of the toy light string, the conductive head 121 can contact the wire or the conductive convex head of the connection end to electrically connect the conductive head 121 and the toy light string. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of conductive heads 121 on the adapter arm 120 can also be set to three or more than four, etc., and the plurality of conductive heads 121 can also be arranged on the same end of the adapter arm 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, the utility pole 100 further includes a base 140, and the base 140 is connected to the other end of the support rod 110 relative to the adapter arm 120. Specifically, a third building block structure 230 is provided at the other end of the support rod 110, and a fourth building block structure 240 is provided on one side of the base 140. Among them, the third building block structure 230 is a circular ring groove, and a snap rod 251 is movably connected to the groove side wall of the third building block structure 230; the fourth building block structure 240 is also a groove structure, and a through hole 252 is formed in the bottom wall of the fourth building block 240. The shape of the through hole 252 is adapted to the shape of the circular ring groove, and the circular ring groove is rotatably snap-connected to the through hole 252 through the snap rod 251, so that the support rod 110 can be rotatably connected to the base 140.

[0035] It can be understood that the third building block structure 230 can cooperate with an external building block base or building block combination to fix the support rod 110 on the building block base or building block combination. The fourth building block structure 240 can also cooperate with an external building block base or building block combination, so that the support rod 110 can be rotatably connected to the building block base or building block combination through the base 140. In other embodiments of the present invention, the utility pole 100 may not be provided with the base 140. The third building block structure 230 and / or the fourth building block structure 240 may also be provided as other building block structures capable of cooperating with external building block structures, such as a plurality of bumps distributed in rows and columns.

[0036] The toy light string includes a light source assembly, and the light source assembly includes a wire and a plurality of light source bodies 400 electrically connected into a light string via the wire.

[0037] In this embodiment, the number of the wires is two, namely a first wire 310 and a second wire 320. Connection ends 500 are fixed to both ends of the first wire 310 and the second wire 320, and a plurality of light source bodies 400 are electrically connected between the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 in a sequentially parallel connection manner.

[0038] It can be understood that the above structure enables the toy light string to have two current input ends and output ends at the same time. When any connection end 500 of the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 is electrically connected to a power source, a plurality of light source bodies 400 can be lit. Moreover, the above structure makes the current paths of the plurality of light source bodies 400 not interfere with each other. Even if a light source body 400 is short-circuited or damaged, it will not affect the normal operation of other light source bodies 400, thereby enabling the toy light string to have a longer service life and a better user experience.

[0039] It should be noted that the light source body 400 is an LED lamp with two pins, and the two pins are respectively connected to the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 by welding. In this embodiment, the light source body 400 is an RGB three-color LED lamp. In other embodiments of the present invention, the light source body 400 may also be a monochromatic LED lamp.

[0040] In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the wires may also be one. At this time, multiple light source bodies 400 are electrically connected to the wire in a sequentially connected series manner, and a connection end 500 is also fixed at both ends of the wire to serve as the output end and input end of the current. Through the two connection ends 500, the series and parallel connections of multiple toy lamp strings can be realized.

[0041] The connection end 500 is used to realize the electrical connection of any two toy lamp strings, and can also be used to electrically connect the toy lamp string to the utility pole 100. Each connection end 500 is provided with a conductive convex head 501 and a clamping cavity 502. The conductive convex head 501 is electrically connected to the corresponding wire (the first wire 310 or the second wire 320), and the shape of the conductive convex head 501 is the same as or substantially the same as that of the conductive head 121. The clamping cavity 502 is adapted to the shapes of the conductive convex head 501 and the conductive head 121, so that the clamping cavity 502 and the conductive convex head 501 and the conductive head 121 can be detachably inserted and fixed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connection end 500 includes a first cover body 510 and a second cover body 520. The first cover body 510 and the second cover body 520 are tightly connected by a rivet structure, and the corresponding wire is clamped between the first cover body 510 and the second cover body 520. In other embodiments of the present invention, the connection end 500 may also be an integrally formed structure. The first cover body 510 and the second cover body 520 may also be tightly connected by other connection structures such as a snap structure.

[0043] A fixing groove 511 is formed on the first cover body 510. An opening 512 for the wire to pass through is formed on the fixing groove 511, and a connection port 513 for the rivet structure to pass through is also formed on the fixing groove 511. The shape of the second cover body 520 is adapted to the fixing groove 511. The second cover body 520 includes a convex platform 521 and a positioning ring 522. The convex platform 521 and the positioning ring 522 are communicated through a through port 523, and the through port 523 is arranged corresponding to the opening 512.

[0044] The rivet structure includes a riveting rod 531 and a fixing cap 532. The riveting rod 531 forms a conductive convex head 501, and the fixing cap 532 forms a clamping cavity 502. Among them, the riveting rod 531 is conductive and is in contact with or can be in contact with the wire. At least part of the riveting rod 531 is fixedly extended out of the first cover 510 through the connection port 513. The shape of the part of the riveting rod 531 protruding from the first cover 510 is the same as or substantially the same as that of the conductive head 121. The part of the riveting rod 531 located in the fixing groove 511 can be deformed by outward turning or can be deformed by outward swelling under force. The fixing cap 532 is non-conductive, and a channel is opened in the middle of the fixing cap 532. The channel forms a clamping cavity 502 for communicating the riveting rod 531 and the outside. One end of the clamping cavity 502 connected to the connection port 513 has the same or substantially the same opening width as it.

[0045] It can be understood that the fixing cap 532 passes through the positioning ring 522 and is adjacent to the convex platform 521 (that is, the convex platform 521 is located outside the riveting rod 531), so that the riveting rod 531 can be deformed under force after being inserted into the connection port 513 and the clamping cavity 502, thereby achieving the purpose of sequentially fastening the first cover 510, the second cover 520 and the fixing cap 532. The rivet structure uses force deformation to fasten the first cover 510 and the second cover 520, replacing traditional fastening processes such as screws, adhesives, heat ironing, welding, etc., making the fastening process of the first cover 510 and the second cover 520 more convenient and fast, and safer, and can effectively improve production efficiency. Moreover, the rivet structure can form opposite conductive convex heads 501 and clamping cavities 502, without the need to additionally set up a conductive structure, which can save assembly time and production costs.

[0046] During the game, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, if it is necessary to electrically connect multiple toy light strings through the telegraph pole 100, then in each of the toy light strings, any connection end 500 of the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 is fixed on the conductive heads 121 of the two adapter arms 120 through the clamping cavity 502. At this time, the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 are in contact with the conductive heads 121, and through the conductive heads 121 and the conductive parts 122 of the same adapter arm 120, multiple light source bodies 400 on any two first wires 310 and second wires 320 can be electrically connected.

[0047] As Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, if it is necessary to directly electrically connect multiple toy light strings, any connection end 500 of the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 is fixed on any connection end 500 of another first wire 310 and the second wire 320. At this time, the clamping cavity 502 is adaptively connected to the conductive convex head 501, so that the first wire 310 and the second wire 320 can be in contact with the conductive convex head 501 of the other connection end to electrically connect multiple light source bodies 400 on any two first wires 310 and second wires 320.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications; any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
