The words "one", "a", "the" and the like used in this application do not indicate a limit on quantity and may indicate the singular or plural. The terms "include", "comprise", "have" and any variations thereof used in this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions; for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or modules (units) is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may also include steps or units that are not listed, or may also include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. The words "connect", "connected", "coupled" and the like used in this application are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The word "multiple" used in this application means greater than or equal to two. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The terms "first", "second", "third" and the like involved in this application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects.

[0022] The present application provides a building block toy that automatically climbs based on gravitational potential energy, including a base and a bracket formed by building blocks or assembled by building blocks, the bracket is provided with an inclined track and a movable part that rolls along the track, the movable part is provided with a pull rope that is wound and drooped toward the higher end of the track, and the movable part can be wound and retracted by rolling the movable part toward the lower end of the track, and the other end of the pull rope is detachably connected to an object set at the lower part of the track. The object moves downward based on its own gravity and can drive the movable part to roll toward the higher end of the track through the pull rope.

[0023] Implementation example Figures 1-2 As shown, a building block toy that automatically climbs based on gravitational potential energy includes a base 1, a bracket 2 and a track 3 formed by building blocks or assembled by building blocks. The track 3 is obliquely arranged on the bracket 2, and a movable part 4 that can roll along the track 3 is provided on the track 3.

[0024] Furthermore, the movable part 4 includes a roller 4.1, a limiting wheel 4.2 and an axle 4.3. The rollers 4.1 are respectively arranged at both ends of the axle 4.3. The track 3 is composed of two rod-like structures, with a hollow travel groove 3.1 formed in the middle. The rollers 4.1 roll on the rod-like structures on the left and right sides of the track 3. A pull rope 5 is provided on the axle 4.3, which is wound and drooped toward the higher end of the track 3. The pull rope 5 passes through the travel groove 3.1 and extends to the lower part of the track 3. The drooping end of the pull rope 5 is detachably connected to a block 6. The limiting wheel 4.2 is coaxially arranged with the roller 4.1 and has a diameter larger than that of the roller 4.1. The limiting wheel 4.2 is arranged on the inside of the roller 4.1. The limiting wheel 4.2 is accommodated in the travel groove 3.1 of the track 3 and abuts against the inner side edges of the track 3 on the left and right sides to limit the position, which can effectively prevent the movable part 4 from falling off the track 3.

[0025] Specifically, when the movable member 4 is at the lower end of the track 3, the pull cord 5 is wound around the axle 4.3 of the movable member 4. At this time, the block 6 is hung on the end of the pull cord 5. The block 6 moves downward due to its own weight and pulls the pull cord 5 from the movable member 4, forcing the movable member 4 to roll toward the higher end of the track 3 until the block 6 falls to the ground. When the block 6 is removed, the movable member 4 rolls back to the lower end of the track 3 due to its own weight and winds the pull cord 5 back onto the axle 4.3.

[0026] Furthermore, fixed structures for fixing the movable part 4 at one end are respectively provided at both ends of the track 3. The fixed structure is a clamping member 7 hinged at the high and low ends of the track 3 respectively. The clamping member 7 is an L-shaped structure that can extend toward the movable part 4. The clamping member 7 can be flipped toward the movable part 4 and clamped to the movable part 4.

[0027] Specifically, the clamping member 7 includes a clamping end 7.1 extending toward the movable member 4. The clamping end 7.1 engages and abuts the roller 4.1. A clearance space 7.2 is formed in the central region of the clamping member 7 for the limiting wheel 4.2. When the clamping member 7 is engaged with the movable member 4, the limiting wheel 4.2 can be at least partially accommodated in the clearance space 7.2.

[0028] Furthermore, each of the above structures can be formed by building blocks or assembled from building blocks.

[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that the various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0030] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
