Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building block toy technology, specifically relating to interlocking building block toys. Background Technology
[0002] Building blocks are a type of educational toy for children, and they are popular because they can be assembled into different shapes of objects according to individual ideas.
[0003] Traditional building block toys are assembled from multiple individual blocks. During assembly, a pin on one block typically interlocks with a slot on another. In this process, the pin on a traditional block can only change its orientation with the slot at 90° intervals. Users can create regular shapes during assembly. However, some users find it impossible to assemble irregular or more three-dimensional shapes from the same blocks. Therefore, designing a building block that can be assembled into more complex three-dimensional shapes is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plug-in building block toy, in which the angle between two individual building blocks can be changed during the assembly process, thereby obtaining an irregularly shaped three-dimensional object.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A plug-in building block toy comprises multiple building block units that are plugged in and fixed together; each of the building block units is a polyhedron, and at least one flat surface on the building block unit is provided with a plug post, the cross-section of which is a polygon; each of the building block units is provided with at least one slot, the slot being adapted to the plug post for plugging and fixing.
[0007] The interlocking mechanism between the inserts and slots allows children to unleash their creativity and assemble different spatial three-dimensional objects from multiple angles.
[0008] Preferably, the number of posts in at least one plane on the block is one or two.
[0009] The difference between one-pin and two-pin plugs is that the shapes that can be assembled are different, and the two-pin plugs are stronger and less likely to come loose after being plugged into the slot, making them suitable for building larger building block toys.
[0010] As a further preferred option, the number of insertion posts is two.
[0011] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the insert is one of octagonal, dodecagonal, or hexagonal.
[0012] Preferably, the slot wall is provided with a fixing block, which is in close contact with the side end of the insertion post.
[0013] Preferably, each building block has a fixing hole in the middle.
[0014] Decorative blocks can be inserted into the sockets, allowing for better decoration of the assembled building block toys.
[0015] As a preferred option, the individual building blocks are cubes.
[0016] Preferably, the insert has a hollow groove in the middle.
[0017] The slotted design, similar to the insertion holes, allows for better finishing of the assembled building block toys. It also reduces the overall weight of the individual blocks, saving raw materials for the manufacturer.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] 1. By assembling multiple building blocks, children can fully unleash their imagination and create imaginary shapes, which has an educational effect.
[0020] 2. By using the interlocking of the polygonal posts and slots, the combination angles of the building blocks can be cleverly changed when they are inserted, making it easier to assemble irregularly shaped objects without being limited by the angles of the building blocks.
