Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toys, in particular to a modular toy. Background Art

[0002] The buildable modular toys are very popular in the field of children's toys. Multiple module monomers can be combined in different ways to form various styles and bionic models: animals, buildings, vehicles, etc., which can better exercise children's sense of spatial position and hands-on assembly ability, and improve children's imagination and creativity.

[0003] For some outdoor amusement equipment, modular splicing can also be adopted. Some are made of wood or metal, which are relatively heavy and inconvenient to carry. Most of the splicing methods are plug-in fits, resulting in inflexible splicing methods, unstable structures after splicing, and limited shapes and styles that can be assembled. Others are made of foam materials. Although such equipment is relatively light, it is usually connected by adhesion or stacked splicing, and the overall structure is still unstable after being built, and the strength of the material is relatively fragile, which is not very suitable for some scenarios of outdoor amusement equipment.

[0004] For some magnetically connected toys, such as magnetic tiles, although they are stable enough after magnetic connection, their sizes are relatively small, which is quite different from the actual sizes of bionic models: animals, buildings, vehicles, etc., and they are not realistic enough after assembly. Moreover, due to their small sizes, they can only be placed on the table for viewing after splicing and cannot be used for outdoor expansion activities: children playing on the spliced toys or moving in the internal space after construction. If the sizes are made as large as outdoor amusement equipment, it is difficult to meet the adsorption force and it is easy to be unstable. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the deficiencies in the prior art, a modular toy is provided.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A modular toy is formed by magnetically splicing at least three building units, the building units comprising a first building unit, a second building unit, and a third building unit, the first building unit having an orthographic projection shape of an equilateral triangle, the second building unit having an orthographic projection shape of a square, and the third building unit having an orthographic projection shape of an isosceles trapezoid, the side length of the equilateral triangle = the side length of the square = the waist length of the isosceles trapezoid = a, and the length of a is at least 20 cm, the modular toy is formed by magnetically splicing the first building unit and / or the second building unit and / or the third building unit, the building unit comprising two frame frames distributed up and down, and a main body installed between the two frame frames, the frame wrapping the circumference of the main body, the inner wall of the frame being provided with an installation groove, the installation groove being provided with a radial magnet, and any two building units are magnetically connected to each other through adsorption by the radial magnet, and any side edge of one building unit can be magnetically connected to any side edge of another building unit.

[0008] Furthermore, the radial magnet is sized to be a cylinder with a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 20 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting groove includes a convex plate, and the convex plate is formed by extending outward from the inner wall of the frame.

[0010] Furthermore, there is a gap between the radial magnet and the convex plate, and the gap ranges from 5 mm to 30 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the magnetic strength of the radial magnet is at least N30.

[0012] Furthermore, when the radial magnets are adsorbed, the distance between two radial magnets is equal to twice the thickness of the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame is made of ABS / PP / PA nylon plastic, and the main body is made of EPP / EVA foam.

[0014] Furthermore, the weight of the building unit does not exceed 600g.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body includes a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with protrusions and / or splicing holes.

[0016] Furthermore, the modular toy can be assembled into an animal model, a geometric structure model, an architectural structure model, a plant structure model, or an amusement equipment model.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. Modular toys are formed by magnetically splicing a variety of building units. The building units are set as regular triangles, regular quadrilaterals, and isosceles trapezoids. Different types of building units can be freely spliced ​​due to their equal side lengths to make various types of toy models and outdoor amusement equipment. Compared with the magnetic sheets and outdoor amusement equipment in the prior art, the building units combine the advantages of both: in terms of size, the size of the building units is limited to a length of no less than 20 cm on the edge, which is close to the outdoor amusement equipment, making the constructed bionic model or structural model more realistic, and can be taken outdoors for expansion activities, greatly enhancing its practicality; in terms of connection method, magnetic adsorption connection is used to ensure the stability of the overall structure after splicing. Compared with stacking, adhesion, plug-in and other connection methods, splicing is more convenient and labor-saving, and the splicing method is more flexible;

[0019] 2. The main body of the building unit is made of EPP / EVA foam material, and the frame is made of ABS / PP / PA nylon plastic material, so that although the size of the building unit is large, the overall weight is not too heavy. The weight of the building unit does not exceed 600g, which is convenient for carrying and transportation. The EPP material has the advantages of being light and strong, durable and easy to maintain, environmentally friendly and recyclable. The EVA material has good corrosion resistance, impact resistance, biodegradability, no odor, does not contain heavy metals, meets international safety standards, and is suitable for children's toy applications;

[0020] 3. The connection method between the building units is set to magnetic connection, which is very convenient and labor-saving. The magnet is set to a radial magnet so that the magnet can rotate freely in the installation slot to adjust the magnetic pole, making it convenient for the sides of any two adjacent building units to be magnetically connected to each other.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

The side length of the equilateral triangle = the side length of the square = the waist length of the isosceles trapezoid = a, and the length of a is at least 20 cm. The modular toy is formed by magnetically splicing the first building unit 11 and / or the second building unit 12 and / or the third building unit 13. The building unit 1 includes two frame frames 14 distributed up and down, and a main body 15 installed between the two frame frames 14, the frame 14 wraps the circumference of the main body 15, and the inner wall of the frame 14 is provided with a mounting groove 16, and the mounting groove 16 is provided with a radial magnet 17. Through the adsorption of the radial magnet 17, any two building units 1 are magnetically connected to each other, and any side edge of one building unit 1 can be magnetically connected to any side edge of another building unit 1.

[0038] Specifically, the modular toy is composed of a plurality of building units 1, and the building units 1 are divided into three different shapes, and the side lengths of the three building units 1 are the same. Therefore, the building units 1 can be used as needed and can be assembled into any desired shape, for example, they can be assembled into geometric bodies, animal models, architectural models, amusement equipment, etc. Because of their large size, the constructed toys are close to actual simulation models, and children can interact and play with them. For example, when a house is made, children can play inside the house.

[0039] Specifically, the magnetic splicing of the building units 1 is achieved through the radial magnets 17. Since the radial magnets 17 can rotate freely to adjust the magnetic poles, the sides of any two building units 1 can be magnetically attracted to each other, which is very convenient and labor-saving during construction.

[0040] Preferably, the radial magnet 17 is sized to be a cylinder with a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 20 mm.

[0042] Preferably, there is a gap between the radial magnet 17 and the convex plate 18, and the gap ranges from 5 mm to 30 mm.

[0043] Specifically, the radial magnet 17 is disposed in the mounting groove 16, and the gap is set within a reasonable range, so that the radial magnet 17 can rotate freely but will not rotate too much to affect the magnetic attraction stability.

[0044] Preferably, the magnetic strength of the radial magnet 17 is at least N30.

[0045] Specifically, limit the magnetic force of the magnet to ensure that the magnetic force of the magnet is sufficient and the stability after construction is ensured.

[0046] Preferably, when the radial magnets 17 are adsorbed, the distance between two radial magnets 17 is equal to twice the thickness of the frame 14.

[0047] Specifically, when two radial magnets 17 adsorb to each other, there is only a distance equal to the thickness of two layers of the frame 14 between them. Therefore, the magnetic force is very large and the adsorption is very firm.

[0048] Preferably, the material of the frame 14 is ABS / PP / PA nylon plastic, and the material of the main body 15 is EPP / EVA foam.

[0049] Specifically, the frame 14 is made of plastic material and the main body is made of foam material, making the whole structure relatively firm and light.

[0050] Preferably, the weight of the building unit 1 does not exceed 600 g.

[0051] Specifically, the weight of the building unit 1 is not too heavy, making transportation and carrying labor-saving and convenient.

[0052] Preferably, the main body 15 includes a mounting plate 19, and the mounting plate 19 is provided with protrusions 20 and / or splicing holes 21.

[0053] Specifically, by setting the protrusions 20 or the splicing holes 21, connection with other accessories can be realized, and it can be extended to be combined with other amusement equipment to achieve more usage scenarios.

[0054] Preferably, the modular toy can be spliced into an animal model, a geometric structure model, an architectural structure model, a plant structure model or an amusement equipment model.
