[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , showing a magnetic building block structure with reasonable spatial distribution provided by the first embodiment, including a main body 100 and a cover body 200 connected to both ends of the main body 100, and the inner cavity of the main body 100 is divided by multiple plates to form a plurality of accommodating grooves that can accommodate magnets 300.

[0031] The main body 100 is a polygonal prism structure. In this embodiment, the main body 100 is a cube. In other embodiments of the present invention, the main body 100 may also be other polygonal prism structures, such as a triangular prism, a pentagonal prism, a hexagonal prism, etc.

[0032] The accommodating groove includes a first groove body 110 and a second groove body 120. The number of the first groove bodies 110 is twice the number of the second groove bodies 120. Multiple first groove bodies 110 are evenly distributed at the edge positions of each side at both ends of the main body 100, and multiple second groove bodies 120 are evenly distributed at the positions of each vertex corner of the main body 100.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are eight first slots 110, which are evenly distributed along the edge of each side of the main body 100. That is, one first slot 110 is provided at each edge of each end of the main body 100. There are four second slots 120, which are evenly distributed along each vertex of the main body 100, and each second slot 120 connects both ends of the main body 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of first slots 110 can be six, ten, twelve, etc., and the corresponding number of second slots 120 can be three, five, six, etc.

[0034] Each first trough 110 can limit the magnet 300 to a position adjacent to the cover 200. In this embodiment, this is achieved by extending a plurality of supporting blocks 111 from the bottom wall of each first trough 110 toward the end. The plurality of supporting blocks 111 are spaced apart between the two side walls of the first trough 110, and the plurality of supporting blocks 111 have different shapes. The supporting blocks 111 are used to support the connected magnet 300 to limit the magnet 300 to a position adjacent to the cover 200. At the same time, the supporting blocks 111 can also serve to strengthen the structural strength of the first trough 110. In other embodiments of the present invention, the supporting blocks 111 may not be provided in the first trough 110. In this case, the depth of the first trough 110 is slightly greater than the width of the magnet 300, so that the first trough 110 can limit the magnet 300 to a position adjacent to the cover 200.

[0035] In order to improve the overall structural strength of the main body 100, in this embodiment, the main body 100 is provided with a support plate 130 between the multiple first grooves 110 at each end, and the support plate 130 is a cross structure. The middle part of the support plate 130 is recessed to form a first positioning portion 131, which is used to cooperate with the cover body 200 to play a positioning role. Each end of the support plate 130 is also provided with a first plug-in portion 132, and the first plug-in portion 132 is adjacently arranged outside the first groove 110 to cooperate with the cover body 200 to play a role of fixed connection. In other embodiments of the present invention, the main body 100 may not be provided with a support plate 130. Similarly, the support plate 130 may also be other structures, such as a tic-tac-toe structure. The support plate 130 may not be provided with a first positioning portion 131 and / or a first plug-in portion 132.

[0036] On one side of each cover 200, a plug-in block 210 is provided at a position corresponding to the second slot 120. The plug-in block 210 is detachably fixedly connected to the second slot 120 to achieve the connection and fixation between the cover 200 and the main body 100. In this embodiment, the cover 200 is provided with a second positioning portion 220 protruding on the same side of the plug-in block 210 and corresponding to the position of the first positioning portion 131. The second positioning portion 220 is adapted to be fitted into the first positioning portion 131. On the same side of the plug-in block 210, a second plug-in portion 230 is provided on the cover corresponding to the position of the first plug-in portion 132. The second plug-in portion 230 and the first plug-in portion 132 can be plugged and matched. In other embodiments of the present invention, the specific structure of the cover 200 can be adjusted accordingly according to the setting of the support plate 130, for example, the second positioning portion 220 and / or the second plug-in portion 230 are not provided.

[0037] A magnet 300 is rotatably connected to each of the first slot 110 and the second slot 120. To make the distribution of the multiple magnets 300 more uniform and reasonable within the main body 100, in this embodiment, the depth of each second slot 120 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the two plug-in blocks 210 and the length of one first slot 110. With the above arrangement, after the plug-in blocks 210 of the two covers 200 are plugged into the second slot 120, the second slot 120 still has approximately the same length as the first slot 110, facilitating the connection of the magnets 300. Furthermore, the magnets 300 are confined to the middle of the top corner line of the main body 100, thereby allowing each magnet 300 to be evenly distributed approximately in the middle of each edge line of the main body 100, thereby facilitating the uniform distribution of magnetic force.

[0038] It should be noted that after the magnets 300 are correspondingly accommodated in the first and second slots 110, 120, an equal number of magnets can be evenly arranged on each contact surface of the main body 100 of the magnetic building block structure provided by this embodiment, and the magnets 300 on each contact surface are arranged adjacent to the outer shell, which has the advantages of reasonable spatial distribution, uniform magnetic force distribution, and faster magnetic force perception. Based on the above advantages, even when the magnets 300 use ferrite magnets with relatively small magnetic energy product, a good magnetic attraction effect can be achieved, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 , showing a magnetic building block structure with a reasonable spatial distribution provided by the second embodiment. The main difference from the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, there are sixteen first slots 110, which are evenly distributed along the edge of each side of the main body 100. That is, two first slots 110 are provided at the edge of each side of the two ends of the main body 100. There are eight second slots 120, which are evenly distributed along each vertex position of the main body 100. That is, two second slots 120 are provided at each of the four vertex positions of the main body 100.

[0040] In this embodiment, to ensure a more even and reasonable distribution of the multiple magnets 300 within the main body 100, the first plug-in portions 132 on each end of the support plate 130 are positioned adjacent to the two first slots 110, allowing the two first slots 110 located on the same edge of the main body 100 to be spaced apart, thereby spacing the two magnets 300 on the same edge of the main body 100. Furthermore, a stopper 121 is provided extending from the bottom wall of each second slot 120 to the adjacent second slot 120 toward the end thereof. The stopper 121 is used to support and connect the magnets 300. The depth of each second slot 120 is equal to the sum of the length of one plug-in block 210, the length of one stopper 121, and the length of one first slot 110. The above arrangement can space the magnets 300 in the two second slots 120 on the same vertex line of the main body 100, and after the plug-in blocks 210 of the two cover bodies 200 are respectively inserted into the two second slots 120, the second slots 120 can still have approximately the same length as the first slot 110, which is convenient for connecting the magnets 300, so that the two magnets 300 can be evenly spaced on each edge line and each vertex line at both ends of the main body 100, which is conducive to uniform distribution of magnetic force.

[0041] In other embodiments of the present invention, more than three first slot bodies 110 may be provided on each side of the main body 100, and the multiple first slot bodies 110 on the same side are distributed at intervals. At this time, the same number of second slot bodies 120 are distributed on each vertex line of the main body 100, and the multiple second slot bodies 120 on the same vertex line are also arranged at intervals, and the second slot body 120 located in the middle can adopt a flip-up structure to realize the disassembly and assembly of the magnet 300.

[0042] It should be noted that after the magnets 300 are correspondingly accommodated in the first slot 110 and the second slot 120, an equal number of magnets can still be evenly distributed on each contact surface of the main body 100 of the magnetic building block structure provided by this embodiment, and it also has the advantages of reasonable spatial distribution, uniform magnetic force distribution, and faster perception of magnetic force.

[0043] For clarity, certain features of the present invention described in the context of separate embodiments may be combined in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in the context of a single embodiment may also be used individually or in any suitable subcombination.
