[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, this embodiment provides a Rubik's bead toy, which includes a base 10, a turntable 20 and a rotating body 30 that are respectively rotatably connected to the base 10. A number of balls 40 are movably connected between the base 10, the turntable 20 and the rotating body 30, and a number of balls 40 are also movably connected between the base 10 and the turntable 20. During the game, the player rotates the turntable 20 and the rotating body 30 on the base 10 to change the positions of multiple groups of balls 40 of different colors until the balls 40 of the same color are placed in the same annular groove.

[0029] The base 10 includes two basic surfaces 11, at least two connecting surfaces 12 and at least two transition surfaces 13. The two basic surfaces 11 are arranged opposite to each other. A plurality of connecting surfaces 12 and a plurality of transition surfaces 13 are both connected between the two basic surfaces 11, and each transition surface 13 connects two adjacent connecting surfaces 12. In this embodiment, the number of both the connecting surface 12 and the transition surface 13 is three, and the basic surface 11 and the connecting surface 12 are of planar structure, while the transition surface 13 is of arc surface structure. It can be understood that the structural setting of the base 10 in this embodiment makes it roughly an irregular hexagonal prism. The planar structures of the basic surface 11 and the connecting surface 12 facilitate the rotatable connection of the turntable 20 and the rotating body 30 on the base 10, and the arc surface structure of the transition surface 13 can increase the upper limit of the number of balls 40 that can be accommodated on the base 10 to a certain extent.

[0030] In other embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the connecting surface 12 and the transition surface 13 may be the same or different, and the number of the transition surface 13 is equal to or less than the number of the connecting surface 12. When the number of the connecting surface 12 and the transition surface 13 is the same, the base 10 roughly presents as a quadrangular prism, an octagonal prism, etc.; when the number of the connecting surface 12 and the transition surface 13 is different, the base 10 roughly presents as a pentagonal prism, etc. The basic surface 11 and / or the connecting surface 12 may be of arc surface structure, and the transition surface 13 may be of planar structure.

[0031] Each basic surface 11 is provided with a first chute 111 that communicates with the connecting surface 12 respectively. Since the number of the connecting surface 12 is three, the number of the first chutes 111 on each basic surface 11 also corresponds to three. Each basic surface 11 is also provided with a connecting cavity 112 that communicates with each first chute 111, and a turntable 20 is rotatably connected in each connecting cavity 112. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the turntable 20 from easily detaching from the connecting cavity 112, an annular hole 113 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting cavity 112, and a part of the turntable 20 is slidably fitted in the annular hole 113. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the annular hole 113 may not be provided in the connecting cavity 112, and at this time, the turntable 20 correspondingly does not have a structure slidably fitted with the annular hole 113.

[0032] A connection hole 121 is provided at the center of each connection surface 12, and a part of the swivel 30 is rotatably connected in the connection hole 121. Each connection surface 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 122 (four in this embodiment) on the periphery of the connection hole 121, and the positioning grooves 122 are matched with another part of the swivel 30 in a concave-convex manner to limit the swivel 30 from rotating at will.

[0033] Each transition surface 13 is provided with a second slide groove 131 connecting two adjacent connection surfaces 12. It can be understood that the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 131 are both composed of two spaced groove bodies, which are used to connect with the groove bodies on the rotating disk 20 and the rotating body 30 to form a closed annular groove for connecting multiple balls 40.

[0034] The turntable 20 is adapted to be connected in the connection cavity 112. It is understandable that the side wall of the turntable 20 is provided with a convex rim 21, which is slidably fitted in the annular hole 113, so that the turntable 20 can be rotated and fixedly connected to the base 10. The turntable 20 is also provided with third slide grooves 22 corresponding to the first slide grooves 111. Since there are three first slide grooves 111, the turntable 20 is provided with three third slide grooves 22 and the three third slide grooves 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the turntable 20. In this embodiment, the top wall of the turntable 20 is provided with a groove 23 for people to hold. The player can control the turntable 20 to rotate forward and backward on the base surface 11 through the groove 23, and then switch the relative position of the third slide groove 22 and the first slide groove 111. In other embodiments of the utility model, the turntable 20 may not be provided with the rim 21 and / or the groove 23 according to other structural design requirements, and the turntable 20 may also be provided with other structures for controlling its rotation, such as a handle.

[0035] One side wall of the swivel 30 is a plane that fits and connects with the connecting surface 12, so that the swivel 30 can be tightly connected to the base 10, improving the overall aesthetics and coordination of the magic cube bead toy. The plane of the swivel 30 matches the shape of the connecting surface 12, and the plane is provided with a connecting block 31 at a position corresponding to the connecting hole 121, and the connecting block 31 can be rotatably inserted into the connecting hole 121. The end wall of the connecting block 31 is provided with a clamping block 311, and the clamping block 311 can contact the inner wall of the base 10 when the connecting block 31 is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 121, so as to prevent the swivel 30 from easily detaching from the connecting hole 121.

[0036] The 30-degree rotating body 30 is also provided with fourth chutes 32 corresponding to the first chute 111 and the second chute 131 respectively. Since the number of the first chute 111 and the second chute 131 corresponding to the rotating body 30 is two each, four fourth chutes 32 are circumferentially spaced along the rotating body 20. It can be understood that both the third chute 22 and the fourth chute 32 are formed by an arc-shaped surrounding groove body, which are used to communicate with the corresponding first chute 111 and second chute 131 respectively to form a closed annular groove. Specifically, a first chute 111, a second chute 131 and a fourth chute 32 communicate to form a closed first annular groove 100, a second chute 131 and two fourth chutes 32 communicate to form a closed second annular groove 200, and a plurality of balls 40 are movably connected in the first annular groove 100 and the second annular groove 200. The opening widths of the first annular groove 100 and the second annular groove 200 are the same and are both smaller than the diameter of the ball 40, which is used to prevent the ball 40 from easily detaching from the first annular groove 100 and the second annular groove 200.

[0037] In order to quickly switch the fourth chute 32 of the first annular groove 100 and the second annular groove 200 when rotating the rotating body 30, at least one positioning block 33 is movably provided on the periphery of the connecting block 31 of the rotating body 30. In this embodiment, the number of the positioning blocks 33 is two and the two positioning blocks 33 are arranged oppositely. A through hole 34 and a fixing column 35 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the rotating body 30 opposite to the two positioning blocks 33. The through hole 34 is used for the positioning block 33 to extend out of the rotating body 30, and an elastic member 36 (such as a spring, etc.) is fixed between the fixing column 35 and the positioning block 33. The elastic member 36 is used to push the positioning block 33 out of the rotating body 30, so that the two positioning blocks 33 can be in concave-convex fit with the positioning groove 122. It can be understood that the movably arranged positioning block 33 can, during the rotation of the rotating body 30, be pushed out of the rotating body 30 by the elastic member 36 and be in concave-convex fit with the positioning groove 122, so that the fourth chute 32 can quickly rotate to the position communicating with the first chute 111 and the second chute 131, which is not only convenient for the game, but also improves the rotating feel.

[0038] In summary, the Rubik's bead toy provided in this embodiment can disrupt the balls 40 in the three first annular grooves 100 when the player rotates any turntable 20, and can disrupt the balls 40 in the two first annular grooves 100 and the two second annular grooves 200 when rotating any rotating body 30. It can disrupt and affect more balls and in a wider range, and can effectively increase the restoration difficulty of the game.

[0039] For clarity, certain features described in the individual embodiments of the present invention can be combined and used in a single embodiment. Moreover, the various features of the present invention described in a single embodiment can also be used separately or in any suitable form in sub-combinations.
