Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toys, in particular to a modular building unit. Background Art

[0002] Building block toys are very popular in the field of children's toys. By combining multiple modular units in different arrangements, they can create various styles and bionic models: animals, buildings, vehicles, etc., which can better train children's sense of spatial location and hands-on assembly skills, and improve children's imagination and creativity.

[0003] For some outdoor amusement equipment, modular splicing can also be used. Some are made of wood or metal. This type of equipment is bulky and inconvenient to carry. The splicing method is mostly plug-in, which makes the splicing method inflexible, the structure is unstable after splicing, and the shapes and styles that can be assembled are relatively limited; Others are made of foam materials. Although this type of equipment is relatively light, it is usually connected by adhesive or stacked. The overall structure is still unstable after construction, and the strength of the material is relatively fragile, which is not suitable for use in some scenes of outdoor amusement equipment;

[0004] For some toys with magnetic connections, such as magnetic pieces, although they are stable enough after magnetic connection, their size is relatively small, which is quite different from the actual size of bionic models: animals, buildings, vehicles, etc., and they are not realistic enough after assembly; and because of their small size, they can only be placed on the table for viewing after splicing, and cannot be used for outdoor expansion activities: children play on the assembled toys, or play in the interior space after construction. If the size is made the same as outdoor amusement equipment, the adsorption force is difficult to meet, and it is easy to be unstable. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, a modular building unit is provided.

[0006] The utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A modular building unit comprises: two frames distributed upper and lower, and a main body installed between the two frames, the frames being enclosed on at least three sides and including at least three edges, the frames comprising a smooth outer surface and an inner concave cavity opposite to the outer surface, the upper frame being a first frame, and the lower frame being a second frame, the inner concave cavities of the first frame and the second frame being aligned with each other to form a frame mounting cavity, at least one magnet being accommodated in the frame mounting cavity, the main body being made of EPP / EVA foam material, the frame being made of ABS / PP / PA nylon plastic material, having a mounting edge adapted to the shape of the edge, and a mounting plate extending from the mounting edge toward the center to cover at least a portion of the enclosed area of the frame, the mounting edge being at least partially accommodated in the frame mounting cavity, the length of the edge being not less than 20 cm, the weight of the modular building unit not exceeding 600 g, and adjacent modular building units being connectable by magnetic attraction between two adjacent magnets, the magnetic strength of the magnet being at least N30.

[0008] Furthermore, the first frame and the second frame include a fixing portion and an adsorption portion, the fixing portion and the adsorption portion are arranged at intervals in the inner concave cavity, the first frame and the second frame are connected up and down through the fixing portion, and the magnet is accommodated in the adsorption portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting edge is provided with a first avoidance hole corresponding to the fixing portion and a second avoidance hole corresponding to the adsorption portion. When the first frame and the second frame are connected up and down, the fixing portion is located in the first avoidance hole and the adsorption portion is located in the second avoidance hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing portion includes a cylinder extending outward along the inner surface of the frame, the cylinder is provided with a through hole, a connecting piece is provided in the through hole, and the first frame and the second frame are fixedly connected up and down through the connecting piece.

[0011] Furthermore, the adsorption portion includes a convex plate extending outward along the inner surface of the frame, the convex plate and the inner surface of the frame enclose an adsorption cavity with one end open, and the magnet is accommodated in the adsorption cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnet is a radial magnet. When the magnet is placed in the adsorption chamber, there is a gap between both ends and the circumferential side of the magnet and the side wall of the adsorption chamber, and the gap range is: 5mm-30mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting edge is provided with an annular limiting groove, and the frame is provided with an annular rib adapted to the annular limiting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the main body is divided into a first area and a second area, the mounting edge is located in the first area, the mounting plate is located in the second area, the first area is wrapped by the frame, and the second area is not wrapped by the frame.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the annular groove is located at the junction of the first area and the second area, and the other end is located in the first area.

[0016] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with protrusions and / or mounting grooves.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. Compared with the magnetic sheets and outdoor amusement equipment in the existing technology, the modular building unit combines the advantages of both: in terms of size, the size of the modular building unit is limited to an edge length of not less than 20cm, which is close to that of outdoor amusement equipment, making the constructed bionic model or structural model more realistic and can be taken outdoors for expansion activities, greatly enhancing its practicality; in terms of connection method, magnetic adsorption connection is adopted, and the magnetic strength is at least N30, which ensures the stability of the overall structure after splicing. Compared with stacking, adhesion, plug-in and other connection methods, splicing is more convenient and labor-saving, and the splicing method is more flexible; in terms of material, the main body is made of EPP / EVA foam material, and the frame is made of ABS / PP / PA nylon plastic material can make the modular building unit large in size, but the overall weight will not be too bulky. The weight of the modular building unit does not exceed 600g, which makes it easy to carry and transport. The EPP material has the advantages of being light and strong, durable and easy to maintain, environmentally friendly and recyclable. The EVA material has good corrosion resistance, impact resistance, biodegradability, no odor, does not contain heavy metals, meets international safety standards, and is suitable for children's toy applications. Through improvements in multiple dimensions such as size, weight, and connection methods, the modular building unit can ensure that even when the size is larger, the strength of the material and the stability after splicing are also guaranteed, and the weight does not increase a lot.

[0019] 1. The magnet is set as a radial magnet, and there is a gap between the magnet and the side wall of the adsorption chamber, so that the magnet can rotate and adjust the magnetic pole in the adsorption chamber, which facilitates the magnetic connection between the edges of any two adjacent modular building units. The magnetic strength is strong enough to make the built model more stable and safe.

[0020] 2. Set the border to have at least three edges, that is, the shape enclosed by the border can be a triangle, quadrilateral, trapezoid and other polygons, making the built shape more diverse;

[0021] 3. Protrusions and / or mounting grooves are set on the mounting plate, which can be used in conjunction with other accessories, increasing various outdoor usage scenarios and enhancing practicality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
