In other embodiments of the present utility model, the power device 110 may also be other power supply structures such as a generator, a solar panel, etc.

[0035] A function device 210 for realizing electrical functions is provided on the housing 10 of the function module 200. Different function devices 210 may be provided on multiple different function modules 200. The function device 210 is at least one of a diode, a triode, a resistor, an inductor, a switch, an inductive switch, a rotary switch, a speaker, a buzzer, a transistor, a lamp, a fan, a flying saucer, a microphone, a display, a motor, a radio receiving device, an integrated circuit.

Among them, both the motor mount 211 and the motor 212 are fixed inside the housing 10, while the flying saucer 213 is externally provided on the housing 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, two electrically connected male buttons 20 are provided on each housing 10, and the two male buttons 20 are separately distributed on two opposite side surfaces of the housing 10. Obviously, the male buttons 20 on the power supply module 100 are electrically connected to the power device 110, and the male buttons 20 on the function module 200 are electrically connected to the function device 210. The male button 20 is a conductive bump for detachably cooperating with the wire 300 to achieve electrical connection. In other embodiments of the present invention, at least two electrically connected female buttons 30 may also be provided on each housing 10. Obviously, the female buttons 30 on the power supply module 100 are electrically connected to the power device 110, and the female buttons 30 on the function module 200 are electrically connected to the function device 210. The female button 30 has a cavity adapted to the shape of the male button 20, that is, a connection cavity adapted to the shape of the conductive bump is provided on the female button 30. Or, at least one pair of electrically connected male buttons 20 and female buttons 30 may also be provided on each housing 10. A plurality of male buttons 20 and / or female buttons 30 may also be distributed on three planes, four planes, five planes or all planes of the housing.

[0037] It should be noted that the housing 10 of the power supply module 100 and the function module 200 can be adaptively adjusted to different sizes according to the different structures of the power device 110 and the function device 210. Please refer to Figure 2 , and in this embodiment, taking one of the function modules 200 as an example, the specific structure of the housing 10 will be described.

[0038] The housing 10 includes an upper housing 11, a lower housing 12 and a side housing 13. The upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are connected to both ends of the side housing 13 to enclose a columnar structure (such as a quadrangular prism provided in this embodiment). Among them, a building block structure 121 is provided on the lower housing 12, so that the housing 10 can be fixed to the building block chassis or the building block splicing body through the building block structure 121. A clamping groove 131 for fixing a plate member (such as a motor mounting seat 211 or a circuit board, etc.) and an installation opening 132 for fixing the male button 20 are provided on the side housing 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, the number of the side housings 13 is two, and the two side housings 13 are fixed into a ring. Two mounting plates 14 are clamped and fixed between the two side housings 13. By opening the installation opening 132 on the mounting plate 14, the purpose of fixing the male button 20 on the side housing 13 is achieved. In other embodiments of the present invention, the installation opening 132 may also be directly opened on the side housing 13. At this time, the mounting plate 14 may not be provided on the side housing 13. Further, the side housing 13 may also be an integrally formed structure.

[0040] It should be noted that the housing 10 is provided as a detachable upper housing 11, lower housing 12 and side housing 13, which facilitates the installation of different types of power devices 110 and functional devices 210 inside the housing 10. Moreover, since the shapes and sizes of different power devices 110 and functional devices 210 are different, the upper housing 11 with corresponding structures can also be adjusted and connected on the side housing 13 according to the shapes and functions of the power device 110 and the functional device 210. For example, in this embodiment, according to the different functions of the speaker and the flying saucer 213, the corresponding upper housing 11 of the two functional modules 200 is adjusted to a structure provided with a sound amplification hole and a structure provided with a middle mounting hole.

[0041] The wire 300 includes at least two button bodies 320 connected by a flexible wire 310. In this embodiment, the wire 300 includes a double-headed wire 301 and a three-headed wire 302. The double-headed wire 301 includes two button bodies 320 connected to both ends of a flexible wire 310. The three-headed wire 302 includes three button bodies 320, and one of the button bodies 320 is connected to the other two button bodies 320 through two flexible wires 310 respectively.

[0042] On each button body 320, a male button 20 and a female button 30 are oppositely arranged, and the female button 30 is detachably adapted and fixed to the male button 20. When it is necessary to fix the female button 30 on the male button 20, the male button 20 can be inserted into the cavity of the female button 30. Since the cavity shapes of the male button 20 and the female button 30 are adapted, the female button 30 can be fixed and held on the male button 20. When it is necessary to separate the female button 30 and the male button 20, a force is applied to pull the male button 20 out of the cavity of the female button 30.

[0043] It can be understood that the button body 320 includes a first cover body 321 and a second cover body 322. The first cover body 321 and the second cover body 322 are fastened by a rivet structure, and a flexible wire 310 is clamped between the first cover body 321 and the second cover body 322.

[0044] Specifically, a fixing groove 3211 is formed on the first cover body 321. An opening 3212 for the flexible wire 310 to pass through is formed on the fixing groove 3211, and a connection port 3213 for the rivet structure to pass through is also formed on the fixing groove 3211.

[0045] The shape of the second cover body 322 is adapted to the fixing groove 3211. The second cover body 322 includes a boss 3221 and a positioning ring 3222. The boss 3221 and the positioning ring 3222 are communicated through a through port 3223, and the through port 3223 is arranged corresponding to the opening 3212.

[0046] The rivet structure includes a riveting rod 323 and a fixing cap 324. The riveting rod 323 forms a male button 20, and the fixing cap 324 forms a female button 30. Among them, the riveting rod 323 is conductive and electrically connected to the flexible wire 310. At least a part of the riveting rod 323 is fixedly extended out of the first cover 321. The fixing cap 324 is non-conductive, and a channel 3241 is formed in the middle of the fixing cap 324. The channel 3241 forms the cavity for connecting the riveting rod 323 and the outside. One end of the channel 3241 connected to the connection port 3213 has an opening width that is the same as or substantially the same as it. The riveting rod 323 can be deformed by turning outward or expanding outward under the action of an external force. The fixing cap 324 passes through the positioning ring 3222 and is adjacent to the boss 3221, so that the riveting rod 323 can be deformed and clamped under force after being inserted into the connection port 3213 and the channel 3241, thereby achieving the purpose of successively fastening the first cover 321, the second cover 322 and the fixing cap 324.

[0047] It can be understood that the rivet structure uses force deformation to fasten the first cover 321 and the second cover 322, replacing traditional fastening processes such as screws, adhesives, heat stamping, and welding. The fastening process of the first cover 321 and the second cover 322 is more convenient and fast, and has higher safety, which can effectively improve production efficiency. Moreover, the rivet structure can form the relative male button 20 and female button 30 structures, without the need to additionally set the structures of the male button and the female button, which can save assembly time and production costs.

[0048] When the wire 300 and the housing 10, or any two wires 300 are fixed through the male button 20 and the female button 30, that is, when the female button 30 (or male button 20) of one wire 300 is correspondingly fixed to the male button 20 (or female button 30) on the housing 10 or another wire 300, the male button 20 of the wire 300 and the housing 10, or the male buttons 20 on two wires 300 are in contact to achieve electrical connection through the flexible wire 310, and then can conductively connect the power module 100 or the function module 200, and can conductively connect at least two wires 300. It should be noted that the connection of multiple wires 300 through the male button 20 and the female button 30 can not only extend the length of the conductive flexible wire, but also stack and fix to achieve the connection of a parallel circuit.

[0049] At the same time, when the female button 30 and the male button 20 of the same wire 300 are fixed, it can also be used as a non-conductive connecting wire for fixedly connecting other structures that do not require conductive connection on the power module 100 or the function module 200 (such as another power module or function module, or an external decorative part, etc.).

[0050] In this embodiment, the electrical building block toy further includes a wire connector 400. The wire connector 400 includes a base 410. A building block structure 121 is provided on one side of the base 410, so that the conductive connector 400 can also be fixed to the building block chassis or the building block assembly through the building block structure 121. At least two electrically connected male buttons 20 are fixed to the opposite side of the base 410. In this embodiment, the number of male buttons 20 is three. Since the multiple male buttons 20 on the base 410 are dispersedly arranged, the wire connector 400 can be used to cooperate with the wire 300 to realize operations such as wire extension, parallel connection, and commutation.

[0051] When playing the circuit connection game, players can choose to connect multiple double-headed wires 301 in sequence to extend the wire length, which is convenient for connecting multiple power modules 100 and function modules 200 with different spacings. As Figure 1 shown, it is also possible to choose to stack and fix multiple double-headed wires 301 to connect multiple power modules 100 and function modules 200 to form a parallel circuit. It is also possible to choose to cooperate the three-headed wire 302 with the double-headed wire 301 to also connect multiple power modules 100 and function modules 200 to form a parallel circuit.

[0052] 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.
