[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which shows the general conductive building block housing 100 with the first circuit module 210 installed in the first embodiment.

[0031] The housing 100 includes an upper housing 110, a lower housing 120 and a side housing 130. The upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 are connected to both ends of the side housing 130 to enclose a columnar structure. In this embodiment, the columnar structure is a quadrangular prism structure, which can be used to install a circuit module with a relatively simple structure. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the columnar structure can also be set as a cylindrical structure, or a cuboid structure that can be used to install a circuit module with a relatively complex structure, etc.

[0032] In this embodiment, a functional structure is provided in the upper housing 110. The functional structure is a through hole 111, which can be used for a part of the first circuit module 210 to extend out and be connected to the housing 100. A building block structure 121 is provided on the outer wall of the lower housing 120. The building block structure 121 can be detachably connected to an external building block base or a building block splicing body, so that the housing 100 can be fixedly connected to the building block base or the building block splicing body.

[0033] Wherein, the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are detachably connected through a fixing structure. The fixing structure includes fixing posts 151 and fixing seats 152 arranged on the opposite inner walls of the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120. In this embodiment, the fixing posts 151 and the fixing seats 152 are fixed by screws. Specifically, a plurality of fixing posts 151 are spaced on the inner wall of the upper shell 110, and a plurality of fixing seats 152 are spaced on the inner wall of the lower shell 120. The fixing posts 151 and the fixing seats 152 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0034] It can be understood that the connection length between the opposite fixing posts 151 and the fixing seats 152 is equal to the depth of the side shell 130. Thus, when the fixing posts 151 and the fixing seats 152 are connected, the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 can be tightly connected to both ends of the side shell 130, and further, the outer shell 100 can form a closed cylindrical structure, increasing the sealing performance to improve the use safety and aesthetics. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the fixing posts 151 and the fixing seats 152 can also be fixed by other methods such as insertion connection and magnetic connection.

[0035] The side shell 130 is a hollow structure. In this embodiment, the side shell 130 includes two detachable and spliced shells 131. Each shell 131 is a semi-circular structure, and plug-in structures for realizing detachable splicing are provided on both cross-sections of each shell 131. The plug-in structure includes a protruding plug 161 and a recessed slot 162. The plug 161 and the slot 162 are detachably plugged and matched. Specifically, the plug 161 and the slot 162 are provided on the end wall of each end of the shell 131. When the plugs 161 and the slots 162 of the two shells 131 are placed opposite to each other in pairs, the two shells 131 can be plugged and fixed into one body by applying force. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the side shell 130 can also be an integral annular structure.

[0036] Two clamping grooves 132 are spaced on the inner wall of each shell 131 in the direction of the connection line between the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120. The clamping grooves 132 can be used to fix the circuit module. It can be understood that since the two clamping grooves 132 have a height difference, the position of the circuit module fixed in the outer shell 100 can be adjusted according to the installation position requirements of the circuit module, so as to expand the type range of the circuit modules that can be installed in the outer shell 100, and further improve the applicability of the outer shell 100.

[0037] Yielding steps 133 are provided on both opposite sides of each shell 131. The yielding steps 133 are adapted to the end walls of the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 to further tightly connect the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 to both ends of the side shell 130.

[0038] On the outer wall of each housing 131, two mounting openings 134 are provided at intervals, and the mounting openings 134 can be used to fix the conductive structure of the circuit module. In this embodiment, the side housing 130 further includes two mounting plates 135. Each mounting plate 135 includes a bottom plate 1351 and a mounting platform 1352 located on the bottom plate 1351. The bottom plate 1351 is snap-fitted between the two housings 131, and the mounting opening 134 is provided on the mounting platform 1352. That is to say, in this embodiment, the two mounting openings 134 on the side housing 130 are provided between the two housings 131, and at this time, the two mounting openings 134 are located on two opposite side surfaces of the outer housing 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the two mounting openings 134 can also be provided at other positions on the side housing 130, for example, on the outer wall of any housing 131.

[0039] It can be understood that in order to enable the mounting plate 135 to be firmly connected between the two housings 131, in this embodiment, an opening 136 is provided on the outer wall of the end of each housing 131, and the shape of the opening 136 is set to fit the outer wall of the mounting platform 1352. On the inner wall of the end of each housing 131, an opening chute 137 is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 136, and the bottom plate 1351 is slidably snap-fitted in the chute 137.

[0040] The first circuit module 210 includes a motor 212 fixed on a motor base 211 and a flying saucer 213 driven by the motor 212 to rotate. Among them, since the flying saucer 213 needs to be externally provided on the outer housing 100, the rotating shaft of the motor 212 can extend out of the upper housing 110 through the through hole 111, and the body of the motor 212 can be fixed on the clamping groove 132 adjacent to the upper housing 110 through the motor base 211.

[0041] Therefore, the assembly process of the outer housing 100 and the first circuit module 210 provided in this embodiment is specifically as follows: First, fix the conductive structure of the first circuit module 210 on the mounting plate 135, install the motor 212 on the motor base 211, then insert the mounting plate 135 and the motor base 211 into the clamping groove 132 and the chute 137 correspondingly, and then fix the two housings 131 together to form the side housing 130 through the plugging structure. Then, fix the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 to both ends of the side housing 130 through the fixing structure. At this time, the rotating shaft of the motor 212 can be exposed on the upper housing 110 through the through hole 111, and the flying saucer 213 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 212 through a shaft head, so that the flying saucer 213 can be controlled by the motor 212 to rotate on the outer housing 100.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4, showing the general conductive building block housing 100 with the second circuit module 220 installed in the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that, in order to cooperate with the installation of the second circuit module 220, the functional structure in the upper housing 110 in the second embodiment is set as the combination of the sound amplification platform 112 and the speaker mounting seat 113. Specifically, a sound amplification platform 112 capable of playing a sound amplification role is provided on the outer wall of the upper housing 110, and a speaker mounting seat 113 capable of mounting and fixing the speaker 221 is fixed on the inner wall of the upper housing 110.

[0043] Therefore, the assembly process of the housing 100 and the second circuit module 220 provided in this embodiment is specifically as follows: First, fix the conductive structure of the second circuit module 220 on the mounting plate 135, then insert the mounting plate 135 correspondingly into the sliding groove 137, and then splice and fix the two housings 131 into the side housing 130 through the plugging structure. Then install the speaker 221 on the speaker mounting seat 113 and fix the speaker mounting seat 113 on the inner wall of the upper housing 110, and then fix and connect the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 to both ends of the side housing 130 through the fixing structure.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 , showing the general conductive building block housing 100 with the third circuit module 230 installed in the third embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that, in order to cooperate with the installation of the third circuit module 230, the functional structure in the upper housing 110 in the third embodiment is set as the combination of the through hole 111 and the toggle switch mounting seat 114. Specifically, a through hole 111 for exposing the toggle switch 231 is provided on the outer wall of the upper housing 110, and a toggle switch mounting seat 114 capable of mounting the toggle switch 231 is fixed on the inner wall of the upper housing 110.

[0045] At the same time, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is also that the number of the installation openings 134 is set to three, two of which are located on the mounting plate 135, and the other installation opening 134 is provided on the outer wall of one of the housings 131. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the installation openings 134 can also be set to four or more, etc. At this time, the installation openings 134 can be simultaneously provided on the mounting plate 135 and the outer wall of any housing 131, or the installation openings 134 can be only provided on the outer wall of any housing 131.

[0046] Thus, the assembly process of the housing 100 and the third circuit module 230 provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, fix the conductive structure of the third circuit module 230 on the outer walls of the mounting plate 135 and the housing 131. Then, insert the mounting plate 135 correspondingly into the sliding groove 137. Subsequently, use the plugging structure to fit and fix the two housings 131 into the side housing 130. Then, install the toggle switch 231 on the toggle switch mounting seat 114 and fix the toggle switch mounting seat 114 on the inner wall of the upper housing 110. Subsequently, use the fixing structure to fixedly connect the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 to both ends of the side housing 130.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows the general conductive building block housing 100 with the fourth circuit module 240 installed in the fourth embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that in order to cooperate with the installation of the fourth circuit module 240, the housing 100 in the fourth embodiment is set as a cuboid structure. In this embodiment, auxiliary fixing seats 153 are further provided on the inner walls of the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120, and the auxiliary fixing seats 153 can be used to fix the circuit module.

[0048] Thus, the assembly process of the housing 100 and the fourth circuit module 240 provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, fix the conductive structure of the fourth circuit module 240 on the mounting plate 135. Then, insert the mounting plate 135 correspondingly into the sliding groove 137. Subsequently, use the plugging structure to fit and fix the two housings 131 into the side housing 130. Subsequently, fix the generator set 241 on the auxiliary fixing seat 135, and then use the fixing structure to fixedly connect the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 to both ends of the side housing 130.

[0049] It can be understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the upper housing 110 can also be a closed housing structure. Or, the functional modules in the upper housing 110 may further include at least one of a rotary switch mounting seat, a bulb mounting seat, a microphone mounting seat, an electromagnetic ball mounting seat, a motor mounting seat, a display mounting seat, a buzzer mounting seat, and a transparent panel.

[0050] In summary, since the housing 100 adopts the detachable structures of the upper housing 110, the lower housing 120, and the side housing 130, when it is necessary to install circuit modules with different structural compositions, the upper housing 110 can be adaptively replaced with a structure adapted thereto, so that the housing 100 can adjust and connect the upper housing 110 with corresponding functional structures according to the requirements of circuit modules with different structures, without replacing the entire housing 100, which can effectively improve the applicability of the housing 100 and enable the housing 100 to be applicable to most circuit modules.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations.
