Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The traditional "Tower of Hanoi" game is a recursive game. The game involves placing the tower on three axes, one at a time, and moving the entire tower from axis A to axis B or axis C. The number of moves required to complete each tower move is equal to 2 raised to the power of the number of layers minus 1. Due to its low success rate, this game is extremely challenging for players and beneficial for developing their intelligence. Traditional Tower of Hanoi connections rely on simple snap-on or threaded connections. These structures are prone to loosening, displacement, or poor contact over extended use or when subjected to external forces, compromising proper function. Maintenance and assembly are also time-consuming, especially when replacing internal components or upgrading equipment, as the cumbersome disassembly and assembly procedures often cause inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] The utility model adopts the following technical solution: a Tower of Hanoi, comprising an upper shell and a lower shell, the upper shell comprising an upper cover and an upper card plate, a circuit board fixedly installed between the upper cover and the upper card plate, a ring area provided on the surface of the upper cover, a vertical pole inserted on the surface of the ring area, a micro-power Hall switch installed inside the vertical pole, a charging port provided on the side of the upper cover, a tower body sleeved on the surface of the vertical pole, a slot provided on the surface of the ring area, a positioning slot and a limit slot provided inside the slot, a limit block fixedly installed on the surface of the vertical pole, a positioning block fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the vertical pole, and the bottom surface of the vertical pole is connected to the internal metal sheet of the slot, the lower shell comprising a lower cover and a lower card plate, an L-shaped card block fixedly installed on the surface of the lower card plate, and a card slot provided on the surface of the upper card plate.

[0005] Preferably, the circuit board is electrically connected to the micro-power Hall effect switch, and the surface of the circuit board is electrically connected to a start button, display screen, time display area, and function keys. The use of the micro-power Hall effect switch significantly reduces energy consumption for the entire system, which helps extend the device's battery life. The start button, display screen, time display area, and function keys integrated on the circuit board allow users to conveniently interact with the device, providing an intuitive user experience, allowing users to quickly start and configure device functions, while also enabling real-time monitoring of device status and usage time.

[0006] Preferably, a speaker is fixedly mounted inside the upper cover, and the tower body comprises multiple discs with magnets embedded therein. This improves the positioning and stability of the tower body, reducing the possibility of the tower body shaking or collapsing during operation. The attraction of the magnets also helps achieve precise alignment and positioning of the tower body, improving the reliability and efficiency of the device.

[0007] Preferably, the upper cover and the upper card plate, as well as the lower cover and the lower card plate, are fixedly connected by quick-release screws, thereby making the disassembly and assembly of the device more convenient and reducing the time and effort of the user when maintaining or replacing internal components.

[0008] Preferably, the L-shaped blocks and slots are each provided in two sets, symmetrically distributed on the surfaces of the lower and upper plates. This symmetrical distribution of the L-shaped blocks and slots ensures precise docking of the upper and lower plates, improving the precision and consistency of device assembly. It also provides additional support, helping to enhance the overall structural strength of the device and prevent loosening or displacement during use.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0010] 1. In the utility model, the vertical pole is inserted into the slot in the ring area, and the vertical pole is rotated. The limit block cooperates with the limit slot so that the vertical pole can be stably inserted into the slot. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning slot and the positioning block can improve the stability of the vertical pole and prevent the vertical pole from tipping over when the ring is inserted.

[0011] 2. In the present invention, the upper shell and the lower shell are assembled by using a symmetrically designed L-shaped card block and a card slot, thereby ensuring the precise docking between the upper and lower shells. By slightly offsetting the upper shell and the lower shell, the card block is embedded in the card slot, and then the upper shell and the lower shell are slid between them, so that the upper shell and the lower shell are firmly docked, reducing the gap and misalignment problems commonly found in traditional snap-on connections, thereby improving the strength of the overall structure.
