[0025] The present application provides a children's light and shadow experiment toy building block, which includes a shadow-bearing member and a travel member connected to the shadow-bearing member. The shadow-bearing member forms a shadow-bearing surface for carrying projections. The travel member is provided with a movable object placement member for placing the object to be projected and a movable fixing member for fixing the light source. Both the object placement member and the fixing member can move closer to or away from the shadow-bearing surface along the travel member. The object placement member is arranged between the fixing member and the shadow-bearing surface. The shadow-bearing member, the travel member, the object placement member and the fixing member are composed of detachable and assembled building blocks.

[0026] As shown in the embodiment Figures 1-2 A children's light and shadow experiment toy building block includes a shadow-bearing member 1 and a travel member connected to the shadow-bearing member 1. The shadow-bearing member 1 includes a mounting frame 1.1 and a shadow-bearing surface 1.2 mounted on the mounting frame 1.1. The shadow-bearing surface 1.2 is used for carrying the projection of the object block. The travel member includes a rod-shaped first travel member 2.1 and a second travel member 2.2. One end of the first travel member 2.1 is connected to the lower edge of the mounting frame 1.1 of the shadow-bearing member 1, making the first travel member 2.1 perpendicular to the shadow-bearing surface 1.2, and the other end is hinged to the second travel member 2.2, enabling the second travel member 2.2 to swing left and right relative to the first travel member 2.1. A object placement member 3 for placing the object to be projected is sleeved on the first travel member 2.1, and the object placement member 3 can slide along the first travel member 2.1 to move closer to or away from the shadow-bearing surface 1.2. A fixing member 4 for fixing the light source is sleeved on the second travel member 2.2, and the fixing member 4 can slide along the second travel member 2.2 to move closer to or away from the shadow-bearing surface 1.2. The object placement member 3 is arranged between the fixing member 4 and the shadow-bearing surface 1.2. By adjusting the distances and angles among the object placement member 3, the fixing member 4 and the shadow-bearing surface 1.2, various patterns can be projected on the shadow-bearing surface 1.2.

[0027] Further, clamping portions 1.3 extending upward are provided at the edges on both left and right sides of the mounting frame 1.1. A narrow slit (not shown in the figure) is formed between the clamping portions 1.3 and the mounting frame 1.1, and the shadow-bearing surface 1.2 is clamped in the narrow slit. The upper ends of the clamping portions 1.3 protrude from the mounting frame 1.1 or are slightly lower than the mounting frame 1.1. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the clamping portions 1.3 slightly protrude from the mounting frame 1.1. Such a design facilitates inserting the shadow-bearing surface 1.2 into the narrow slit from the upper part of the mounting frame 1.1.

[0028] Further, the shadow-bearing surface 1.2 can be made of hard or soft materials, such as plastic plates, rubber plates, cardboard, curtain cloth, etc., and even white paper is also acceptable.

[0029] Further, the object placement member 3 includes a movable portion 3.1 that can slide along the first travel member 2.1 and a rotating portion 3.2 vertically arranged on the movable portion 3.1. The rotating portion 3.2 rotates on the movable portion 3.1 with itself as the axis, and thus can drive the object placed on the object placement member 3 to rotate, realizing different sides of the projected object.

[0030] Further, the fixing member 4 is provided with four rod-shaped fixing portions 4.1 extending upward, and a fixing space 4.2 for fixing the light source is formed between the fixing portions 4.1. The size of the fixing space 4.2 is close to the thickness of the mobile phone. When in use, the mobile phone can be placed in the flashlight mode at the fixing space 4.2 as the light source, which is very convenient.

[0031] Further, the height of the object placing member 3 is close to the height of the middle area of the shadow receiving surface 1.2, so that the projection of the object to be projected placed on the object placing member 3 can be displayed as much as possible in the middle area of the shadow receiving surface 1.2, which is convenient for observation.

[0032] Further, the present application is also equipped with various object blocks with different shapes for being projected.

[0033] Further, each structure in the present application, such as the shadow receiving member 1, the stroke member, the object placing member 3, and the fixing member 4, etc., is composed of detachable and assembled building blocks, and the structures can also be spliced and combined with each other.

[0034] Working method and principle: When in use, place the object to be projected on the object placing member 3, place the mobile phone in the flashlight mode on the fixing member 4, and by adjusting the distances and angles between the object placing member 3, the fixing member 4, and the shadow receiving surface 1.2, different projections can be presented, so as to stimulate children's interest in science during the playing process.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as the combinations of these technical features do not conflict, they should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0036] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
