DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solution of this article will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 The utility model proposes a connecting structure of a toy, which is used to connect a connecting block 1, including a protruding connecting structure 3 and a recessed connecting structure 2; the connecting block 1 is provided with a protruding connecting structure 3 and / or a recessed connecting structure 2; the protruding connecting structure 3 includes a weak magnet 33, a slide 31 and a sliding block 32, the sliding block 32 can slide along the slide 31, and a plug-in column 321 is provided at one end of the sliding block 32 away from the weak magnet 33; the recessed connecting structure 2 includes a strong magnet 22 and a plug-in slot 21, and the strong magnet 22 is located at the bottom of the plug-in slot 21; the protruding connecting structure 3 is used to connect with the corresponding recessed connecting structure 2 so that two adjacent connecting blocks 1 are connected together; in the corresponding protruding connecting structure 3 and the recessed connecting structure 2, the magnetism of the strong magnet 22 is greater than the magnetism of the weak magnet 33; when the corresponding protruding connecting structure 3 and the recessed connecting structure 2 are connected, the strong magnet 22 adsorbs the sliding block 32, and the plug-in column 321 is inserted into the plug-in slot 21.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting block 1 is a separate block in the splicing toy. The connecting blocks 1 can be connected through the corresponding protruding connecting structure 3 and recessed connecting structure 2. Specifically, due to the suction force of the strong magnet 22, the sliding block 32 is detached from the adsorption of the weak magnet 33 and moves along the slideway 31 towards the strong magnet 22, so that the insertion column 321 is inserted into the insertion slot 21, and the strong magnet 22 adsorbs the insertion column 321. Through the insertion of the insertion column 321 and the insertion slot 21, the connection between the two connecting blocks 1 can be made firm and better fixed in the set position. After the two connecting blocks 1 are separated, under the adsorption of the weak magnet 33, the sliding block 32 retracts into the slideway 31, avoiding unnecessary protrusion of the insertion column 321 and affecting the user experience, and solving the problem of fixed protrusions at the connection position.

[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments, the whole sliding block 32 is made of a material that can be adsorbed by a magnet; in some embodiments, the sliding block 32 is a structure made of a material that can be adsorbed by a magnet at both ends; in some embodiments, the sliding block 32 may include one or more insertion columns 321.

[0035] Further, in some embodiments, the sliding block 32 includes a sliding clamping portion 322 and an insertion column 321. The cross-sectional area of the sliding clamping portion 322 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the insertion column 321; the slideway 31 includes a guiding portion 312 and a hidden portion 311. The cross-sectional area of the guiding portion 312 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the hidden portion 311. The sliding clamping portion 322 is movably arranged in the guiding portion 312, and the insertion column 321 is movably arranged in the hidden portion 311, and the insertion column 321 is movably inserted into the hidden portion 311.

[0036] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of the sliding clamping portion 322 being larger than the cross-sectional area of the insertion column 321 can limit the sliding block 32 to prevent the sliding block 32 from detaching from the connecting block 1 from the hidden portion 311. Moreover, the shape and size of the cross-section of the guiding portion 312 are adapted to the shape and size of the cross-section of the guiding portion 312. The side wall of the guiding portion 312 also plays a limiting role on the guiding portion 312, enabling the sliding block 32 to slide only along the guiding portion 312 and not easily swing, and the connection structure of the toy works stably and smoothly.

[0037] Further, referring to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the sliding block 32 includes an inner connecting portion 323, a sliding clamping portion 322, and an insertion column 321 in sequence. The cross-sectional area of the sliding clamping portion 322 is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the insertion column 321 and the inner connecting portion 323; the slideway 31 includes a connected guiding portion 312 and a hidden portion 311. The cross-sectional area of the guiding portion 312 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the hidden portion 311. The inner connecting portion 323 and the sliding clamping portion 322 are movably arranged in the guiding portion 312, and the insertion column 321 is movably arranged in the hidden portion 311, and the insertion column 321 is movably inserted into the hidden portion 311.

[0038] Specifically, by making the cross-sectional area of the sliding clamping portion 322 larger than that of the insertion post 321, the sliding block 32 can be limited to prevent the sliding block 32 from detaching from the connection block 1 at the hidden portion 311. Moreover, the shape and size of the cross-section of the guiding portion 312 are adapted to those of the guiding portion 312. The side wall of the guiding portion 312 also restricts the guiding portion 312, enabling the sliding block 32 to slide only along the guiding portion 312 and not to swing easily, making the connection structure of the toy work stably and smoothly. The inner connection portion 323 is smaller than the sliding clamping portion 322, which can reduce the effective adsorption area of the weak magnet 33, making it easier for the sliding block 32 to move under the adsorption of the strong magnet 22.

[0039] Further, in some embodiments, the slideway 31 further includes an inner channel, which is arranged on the side of the guiding portion 312 away from the hidden portion 311, and the inner connection portion 323 is movably inserted into the inner channel.

[0040] Specifically, during the movement of the sliding block 32, the inner channel guides the inner connection portion 323.

[0041] Further, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the insertion post 321 is the same as that of the inner connection portion 323.

[0042] Specifically, when the cross-sectional areas of the insertion post 321 and the inner connection portion 323 are the same, in some designs, the insertion post 321 and the inner connection portion 323 can have the same length, and there is no need to specifically distinguish them during assembly, making the assembly more convenient.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments, the weak magnet 33 and the strong magnet 22 are made of the same or different materials.

[0044] Specifically, the effect of the magnetic force difference between the weak magnet 33 and the strong magnet 22 is achieved through the design of the shape or material of the magnets.

[0045] Further, in some embodiments, the weak magnet 33 and the strong magnet 22 are respectively one of a metal alloy magnet, a ferrite permanent magnet, and a rubber magnet.

[0046] Specifically, the weak magnet 33 and the strong magnet 22 are designed according to requirements, and the metal alloy magnet can be, but is not limited to, a neodymium iron boron magnet, a samarium cobalt magnet, or an alnico magnet.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments, a guiding slope 211 is provided around the opening of the insertion slot 21.

[0048] Specifically, the insertion post 321 is guided to be inserted into the insertion slot 21 through the guiding slope 211, making it easier for the insertion post 321 to be inserted into the insertion slot 21.

[0049] Further, in some embodiments, when the insertion slot 21 of the corresponding protruding connection structure 3 and the slideway 31 of the concave connection structure 2 are opposite to each other, the suction force of the strong magnet 22 on the sliding block 32 is greater than the sum of the suction force of the weak magnet 33 on the sliding block 32, the gravity of the sliding block 32, and the friction force between the sliding block 32 and the slideway 31.

[0050] Specifically, the calculation formula for the suction force of the magnet is:

[0051]

[0052] Wherein, F represents the suction force, B represents the magnetic induction intensity of the permanent magnet, A represents the effective adsorption area of the magnet, μ0 represents the magnetic permeability in air (4×10 -7 - / A 2 )), μ r represents the relative magnetic permeability of the magnet, and d represents the distance between the permanent magnet and the adsorbed object; in some embodiments, the suction force of the strong magnet 22 on the sliding block 32 is much greater than the sum of the suction force of the weak magnet 33 on the sliding block 32, the gravity of the sliding block 32, and the friction force between the sliding block 32 and the slideway 31, which can better drive the sliding block 32 to insert into the slideway 31.

[0053] Further, a connecting magnet 4 is provided on the connecting block 1.

[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, the connecting magnet 4 is provided beside the protruding connection structure 3 and the concave connection structure 2. The connecting magnet 4 serves as an alternative connection structure, and the two connecting blocks 1 can be connected without using the protruding connection structure 3 and the concave connection structure 2 through the magnetic adsorption between the connecting magnets 4 of the two connecting blocks 1; in some embodiments, since the connecting magnet 4 is used for direct connection and has a strong suction force, the positioning of the two connecting blocks 1 can be achieved through the magnetic attraction between the connecting magnets 4. Then, by adjusting the angle of the connecting block 1, it is easier to align the insertion post 321 of the protruding connection structure 3 and the insertion slot 21 of the concave connection structure 2, making it more convenient for the connecting block 1 to be assembled. The magnet can be used as an assembly alignment structure.

[0055] Further, in some embodiments, an assembly alignment structure is provided on two adjacent connecting blocks 1.

[0056] Specifically, the alignment structure is provided beside the protruding connection structure 3 and the concave connection structure 2. The alignment structure is used to guide the rapid assembly of two adjacent connecting blocks 1. In some embodiments, the alignment structure is a structure including a protrusion and a groove. In some embodiments, in order to reduce the probability of causing harm to the user due to the protrusion being too sharp, the protrusion is set as a spherical shape, a hemispherical shape, etc.

[0057] A connection structure of a toy proposed by the present utility model. The connecting blocks 1 can be connected through the corresponding protruding connection structure 3 and the concave connection structure 2. Specifically, due to the suction force of the strong magnet 22, the sliding block 32 is separated from the adsorption of the weak magnet 33 and moves along the slideway 31 towards the strong magnet 22, so that the insertion column 321 is inserted into the insertion slot 21, and the strong magnet 22 adsorbs the insertion column 321. Through the insertion of the insertion column 321 and the insertion slot 21, the connection between the two connecting blocks 1 can be made firm and better fixed in the set position. Moreover, after the two connecting blocks 1 are separated, the sliding block 32 retracts into the slideway 31 under the adsorption of the weak magnet 33, solving the problem of having a fixed protrusion at the connection position.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
