Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dice, in particular to a polyhedral dice. Background Art

[0002] Dice, also known as dice, are a common gaming and entertainment tool. They are widely used in various board games, strategy games, and role-playing games. Dice are often used to advance the progress of entertainment games through randomness generators, adding uncertainty and fun to the gameplay.

[0003] Traditional dice are mostly cube-shaped, with six sides each engraved with a different number of colored dots, representing the numbers "1" to "6." This requires ample lighting to clearly see the text or pattern on the front of the dice after casting. When used in low-light settings like bars, KTVs, or outdoors at night, users often need to get closer or use supplemental lighting to see the text or pattern on the dice, which affects the user experience and can reduce the fun of the game. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a polyhedral dice.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides a polyhedral dice, comprising:

[0007] An outer shell, wherein an accommodating space is provided in the outer shell, and a surface of the outer shell is at least partially light-transmissive;

[0008] An inner shell is arranged in the accommodating space, a circuit board is provided on the surface of the inner shell, a light source is provided on the circuit board, a power supply is provided inside the inner shell, and the circuit board enters the inner shell through an opening opened on the inner shell and is connected to the power supply.

[0009] In a possible implementation of the present application, the circuit board includes a charging component, and the outer shell is provided with a through hole adapted to the charging component.

[0010] In a possible implementation of the present application, a battery connection point is provided on one end of the circuit board.

[0011] In a possible implementation of the present application, the circuit board is one of FPC, PCB, and FPCB.

[0012] In a possible implementation of the present application, the outer surface of the outer shell corresponds one-to-one to the outer surface of the inner shell.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the present application, each outer surface of the inner shell is provided with the light source.

[0014] In a possible implementation of the present application, a sensor is further included, and the sensor is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0015] In a possible implementation of the present application, the sensor is a gyroscope.

[0016] In a possible implementation of the present application, the inner shell further includes a clamping portion, and the power supply abuts against the clamping portion.

[0017] In a possible implementation of the present application, the outer shell is a dodecahedron, and each surface of the outer shell is a regular pentagon.

[0018] Compared to the prior art, the polyhedral dice of the present invention, by disposing an inner shell within an outer shell and mounting a circuit board with a light source on the surface of the inner shell, can illuminate the surface of the dice even in low-light or completely dark environments, allowing players to clearly see the number of dots on the dice. This greatly improves the visibility of the dice, eliminating the need for additional light sources or close observation. Thus, since the use of the dice is no longer restricted by ambient light, the game can be played in a wider range of environments, such as bars, KTVs, and outdoors at night. This not only improves the convenience of the game but also increases the fun and participation of the game, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. The inner shell and the outer shell are constructed relatively independently but can fit tightly together, effectively protecting the internal light source and circuit system and reducing the risk of damage due to external collisions or falls. At the same time, the built-in power supply system can also be carefully configured to ensure stable power supply over a long period of time, increasing the durability and reliability of the dice.

[0032] Example

[0033] The present invention provides a polyhedral dice, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes an outer shell 10, an accommodating space 110 is provided in the outer shell 10, and the surface of the outer shell 10 is at least partially light-transmissive; an inner shell 20, the inner shell 20 is provided in the accommodating space 110, a circuit board 210 is provided on the surface of the inner shell 20, a light source is provided on the circuit board 210, a power supply 220 is provided inside the inner shell 20, and the circuit board 210 enters the inner shell 20 through an opening 230 opened on the inner shell 20 and is connected to the power supply 220.

[0034] Thus, by disposing the inner shell 20 within the outer shell 10 and mounting a circuit board 210 with a light source on the surface of the inner shell 20, the light source can illuminate the surface of the dice even in low-light or completely dark environments, allowing players to clearly see the number of dots on the dice. This greatly improves the visibility of the dice, eliminating the need for additional light sources or close observation. Thus, since the use of the dice is no longer restricted by ambient light, the game can be played in a wider range of environments, such as bars, KTVs, and outdoors at night. This not only improves the convenience of the game, but also increases the fun and participation of the game, thereby improving the overall user experience. The inner shell 20 and the outer shell 10 are relatively independent in structure but can be tightly matched, effectively protecting the internal light source and circuit system and reducing the risk of damage caused by external collisions or falls. At the same time, the built-in power supply 220 system can also be carefully configured to ensure long-term stable power supply, increasing the durability and reliability of the dice.

[0035] The polyhedral dice provided by the embodiment of the present invention combines modern electronic technology with traditional dice design. Its unique lighting effect and customizable light source color, brightness and other parameters make the dice not only practical but also ornamental and personalized, meeting the needs and preferences of different players. In addition to traditional chess and card games and entertainment uses, this polyhedral dice can also be used in multiple fields such as education, display, and advertising. For example, in the field of education, it can be used as a teaching tool to help students observe and understand geometric shapes in the dark; in the field of display, it can be used as an eye-catching decoration or exhibit; in the field of advertising, it can be customized with brand elements as one of the highlights of a promotional campaign.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it can be understood that the circuit board 210 includes a charging assembly 240, and the outer shell 10 is provided with a through hole 120 adapted to accommodate the charging assembly 240. Specifically, a battery connection point 2110 can be provided on one end of the circuit board 210. More specifically, the circuit board 210 can be one of an FPC, a PCB, or an FPCB.

[0037] Integrating the charging assembly 240 on the circuit board 210 means the dice can be charged via an external power source 220 without the need for battery replacement, improving ease of use while also reducing costs and enhancing environmental friendliness. A through-hole 120 on the outer shell 10, adapted for the charging assembly 240, allows a charging head or wireless charging device (if a wireless charging design is used), to connect to the charging assembly 240 inside the dice, enabling a convenient charging process. The battery connection point 2110, located at one end of the circuit board 210, is used to connect to the internal power source 220, ensuring that the power source 220 can stably provide power to the circuit board 210 and light source. This construction simplifies the battery installation and replacement process while also improving the stability and reliability of the entire system. The circuit board 210 can be made from one of the following materials: an FPC (flexible printed circuit board), a PCB (printed circuit board), or an FPCB (flexible printed circuit board). Each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, but all meet the requirements of the dice's internal circuitry. FPC offers excellent flexibility and can adapt to the complex spatial structure within the dice, but can be costly. PCB is relatively low-cost and has good stability, but it has poor flexibility and may require more consideration of spatial layout during design. FPCB combines the advantages of FPC and PCB, offering flexibility, good stability, and cost-effectiveness.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the outer surface of the outer shell 10 corresponds one-to-one with the outer surface of the inner shell 20. Specifically, each outer surface of the inner shell 20 is provided with a light source. More specifically, the outer shell 10 can be a dodecahedron, and each surface of the outer shell 10 is a regular pentagon.

[0039] In this way, the outer surface of the outer shell 10 corresponds to the outer surface of the inner shell 20 one by one. This structure ensures that each face on the outer shell 10 can be illuminated by the corresponding face on the inner shell 20, so that the information of the dice can be clearly displayed. For example, the relevant information can be represented by different arrangements or colors of light sources. Each outer surface of the inner shell 20 is provided with a light source, which means that no matter how the dice rolls, the side that finally stabilizes can be illuminated by the light source, enhancing visibility and recognition. The outer shell 10 adopts a dodecahedron shape, which is an unconventional but creative design. Compared with traditional hexahedral dice, the dodecahedron provides more faces to display different information or results, which increases the complexity and fun of the game. Of course, the polyhedral dice provided by the embodiment of the present invention can also be a conventional hexahedron or other types of polyhedral dice.

[0040] In addition, the polyhedral dice provided in the embodiments of the present invention may further include a sensor electrically connected to the circuit board 210. Specifically, the sensor is a gyroscope. The gyroscope's orientation determination function can be used to determine the orientation of the dice after it stops rolling, thereby identifying the top side of the dice and defining a light or pattern for that top side to illuminate, thereby illuminating only one side.

[0041] The gyroscope sensor senses the rotation and tilt of the dice and, using a precise algorithm, calculates its stable orientation after it stops rolling. This is key to automatically identifying the dice facing up and triggering the corresponding lighting or pattern display. The gyroscope sensor is electrically connected to circuit board 210, ensuring that the data collected by the sensor is transmitted in real time to the processing unit on circuit board 210 for analysis and processing. Based on the gyroscope sensor's determination that the dice is facing up, the control circuit on circuit board 210 triggers the corresponding light source or pattern display module, illuminating only one side. This allows players to clearly see the dice result regardless of ambient lighting conditions. The gyroscope sensor's precise measurement and judgment greatly improves the accuracy of identifying the dice facing up, reducing misjudgments and disputes. Players no longer need to worry about difficulty identifying the dice facing up due to poor lighting or viewing angles. Simply roll the dice and quickly obtain the result through automatic lighting or pattern display. This instant feedback not only improves the smoothness of the game but also enhances user engagement and satisfaction. The automatic identification and display of results reduces the possibility of human intervention, thereby improving the fairness and impartiality of the game. This polyhedral dice with a gyroscope sensor is not only suitable for traditional chess and card games and entertainment occasions, but can also be expanded to other fields that require random result determination, such as lotteries, competitions, etc.

[0042] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the inner housing 20 also includes a clamping portion 250, which abuts the power supply 220. Specifically, the inner wall of the inner housing 20 may be provided with multiple clamping portions 250 that are compatible with the power supply 220, for connecting to the power supply 220 and securing the power supply 220. It is understood that the inner wall of the inner housing 20 may include multiple clamping portions 250 that are compatible with the power supply 220. These clamping portions 250 may be protruding structures, grooves, or elastic clamping devices. They are designed to match the shape, size, and interface of the power supply 220 to provide stable support and fixation during installation. By providing multiple clamping portions 250 on the inner wall of the inner housing 20, the power supply 220 is securely supported in multiple directions. This multi-point fixing method not only prevents the power supply 220 from shaking or shifting inside the dice, but also effectively distributes the weight of the power supply 220, reducing pressure on a single part of the inner housing 20. The clamping portion 250 enhances the stability of the power supply 220 within the inner housing 20. Even when the dice is rolling or subjected to external impact, the power supply 220 remains fixed, ensuring the reliability and safety of the circuit connection. The close fit between the clamping portion 250 and the power supply 220 reduces the risk of wear and damage caused by looseness or vibration. This helps extend the service life of the power supply 220 and the inner housing 20, improving the durability of the entire dice. The stable fixation of the power supply 220 reduces safety hazards caused by the power supply 220 falling off or short-circuiting. During the use of the dice, it can ensure the stable operation of the circuit system and the safety of the user.

[0043] Compared to the prior art, the polyhedral dice provided by the embodiment of the present invention has an inner shell arranged in an outer shell, and a circuit board with a light source is installed on the surface of the inner shell. Even in an environment with insufficient light or complete darkness, the light source can illuminate the surface of the dice, allowing players to clearly see the number of dots on the dice. This greatly improves the visibility of the dice, without the need for additional light sources or close observation. In this way, since the use of the dice is no longer restricted by ambient light, the game can be played in a wider range of environments, such as bars, KTVs, and outdoors at night. This not only improves the convenience of the game, but also increases the fun and participation of the game, thereby improving the overall user experience. The structure of the inner shell and the outer shell is relatively independent but can be tightly matched, effectively protecting the internal light source and circuit system, and reducing the risk of damage caused by external collisions or falls. At the same time, the built-in power supply system can also be carefully configured to ensure stable power supply for a long time, increasing the durability and reliability of the dice.

[0044] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
