[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the present utility model proposes a new type of pyramid Rubik's Cube, including a bracket 1 located at the center of the Rubik's Cube. The bracket 1 includes four extension shafts 11, and the extension shafts 11 respectively extend from the center to the vertices of the pyramid. The end of the extension shaft 11 is rotatably connected with a triangular support plate 12;

[0028] The outer side of the triangular support plate 12 is rotatably connected with a first rotating block 2. The first rotating block 2 can rotate independently, and three different colors can be coated on the surface of the first rotating block 2;

[0029] As Figure 2 、 3 shown, an intermediate seat 3 is provided at the position of the vertices of the three triangular support plates 12 closest to each other. The intermediate seat 3 includes a pulling plate 31 and a cover plate 32. A connecting shaft 33 is provided between the pulling plate 31 and the cover plate 32. The pulling plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are respectively in contact with the inner and outer surfaces of the triangular support plate 12;

[0030] As Figure 1As shown, a second rotating block 4 is also provided between adjacent middle seats 3. A clamping groove 41 is provided on the second rotating block 4. During the rotation process, the side edge of the triangular support plate 12 is always clamped with the clamping groove 41. Part of the second rotating block 4 covers the cover plate 32, and the edge of the cover plate 32 is in contact with the second rotating block 4. During rotation, the three second rotating blocks 4 on the same horizontal plane, the middle seat 3 between them, and the triangular support plate 12 at the top rotate together. Two different colors can be coated on the surface of the second rotating block. Compared with the traditional pyramid Rubik's Cube, there are only 7 color blocks on one side of this product, namely the color surfaces of 3 first rotating blocks 2, the color surfaces of 3 second rotating blocks 4, and the color on 1 cover plate 32. For children who are just starting to play with the Rubik's Cube, this product is easier to get started with.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the triangular support plate 12 is integrally arc-shaped. Positioning bumps 121 are provided on the side edge of the triangular support plate 12, and positioning grooves 411 are provided on the inner wall of the clamping groove 41. When the Rubik's Cube rotates, the clamping cooperation between the positioning bumps 121 and the positioning grooves 411 can give feedback to the user when the rotation reaches the position.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, a connecting boss 122 is provided on the outer side surface of the triangular support plate 12. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting boss 122, and the first rotating block 2 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 21. The first rotating block 2 can rotate around the connecting boss 122.

[0033] The first rotating block 2 includes a number of splicing plates 22. As Figure 3 shown, the number of splicing plates 22 is 3. The first rotating block 2 formed by splicing the splicing plates 22 is spherical. A number of inserting pieces 211 are provided on the rotating shaft 21, and inserting grooves 221 are provided in the splicing plates 22. The inserting pieces 211 are inserted into the inserting grooves 221 to realize the connection between the splicing plates 22 and the rotating shaft 21.

[0034] As Figure 5 shown, a clamping boss 42 is provided on the second rotating block 4. The clamping grooves 41 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the clamping boss 42. During the rotation process, the clamping grooves 41 on both sides are always in a clamped state with the triangular support plate 12, ensuring that the overall Rubik's Cube always maintains a pyramid shape.

[0035] Both the pulling plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are triangular arc-shaped plates. The connecting shaft 33 is integrally formed with the cover plate 32. A positioning groove 411 is provided on the pulling plate 31. The end of the connecting shaft 33 is inserted into the positioning groove 411, and the pulling plate 31 and the connecting shaft 33 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown, relief grooves 43 are provided on the left and right sides of the snap boss 42, and the side part of the sealing cover plate 32 is located in the relief grooves 43, so as to ensure that part of the second rotating block 4 always covers the sealing cover plate 32, preventing the sealing cover plate 32 from falling out of the overall Rubik's Cube during rotation.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
