Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of children's toy technology, specifically to an English puzzle block. Background Technology

[0002] Building blocks are a common toy used to develop children's brains, enhance their imagination and hands-on skills. In early childhood education, teachers often combine teaching content with toys to increase children's learning interest and improve their concentration, effectively increasing learning efficiency. For example, prior art (CN202569574U) discloses a toy learning building block set, which consists of several circular magnetic snap-fit ​​blocks, several trapezoidal magnetic snap-fit ​​blocks, and several T-shaped magnetic snap-fit ​​blocks that are interlocked to form various shapes, numbers, pinyin, Chinese characters, English letters, and words, placed on a magnetic board. However, this structure does not provide children with accurate puzzle samples, allowing them to assemble puzzles randomly, failing to achieve the ideal early childhood education effect and hindering a progressive learning model from easy to difficult. This makes it difficult to build children's interest and sense of accomplishment, significantly reducing the educational impact. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an English puzzle block.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An English puzzle block includes a puzzle board and several building blocks. The puzzle board has a card compartment with a card outlet on its side wall. The card compartment has a drive mechanism for discharging cards from the card outlet. The drive mechanism includes a roller rotatably connected inside the card compartment, with the lower end of the roller flush with the height of the card outlet. The card compartment has an elastic component for supporting the uppermost card to the height of the card outlet. The puzzle board has puzzle slots that mate with the building blocks.

[0006] In order to push the cards in the card compartment to the card outlet position, the elastic component includes a support plate slidably connected inside the card compartment, and a spring is fixedly connected between the support plate and the bottom of the card compartment.

[0007] Preferably, the puzzle slots are spaced out in several places, and the card compartment has several card cavities along the roller axis.

[0008] To prevent the cards from warping and thus failing to exit smoothly from the card outlet, a pressure rod is fixedly connected inside each card cavity. The pressure rod is parallel to the roller and has the same height.

[0009] To facilitate the placement of cards into the card compartment, the side wall of the card compartment is provided with an opening for placing cards into the card compartment, and the side wall of the card compartment is provided with a cover plate for sealing the opening.

[0010] To prevent the building blocks from falling out of the puzzle slot, a magnetic plate is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the puzzle slot, and the building blocks are made of magnetic material.

[0011] To increase the structural strength of the building blocks and facilitate their integration with the puzzle slots, the building blocks are cubes with rounded corners on all sides, and the upper opening edge of the puzzle slots is also rounded.

[0012] To facilitate the rotation of the roller, one end of the roller passes through the card compartment and extends outside the card compartment, and the end of the roller outside the card compartment is provided with a rotating handle.

[0013] To increase the frictional resistance between the roller and the card, the outer wall of the section of the roller located inside the card cavity is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model is an English puzzle block. By rotating a roller and using friction between the roller and the top card, the card is ejected from the card outlet. After completing a word, parents can rotate the roller again to eject the next card. Parents can create cards with increasingly difficult words based on their child's progress, thus gradually improving the child's puzzle-solving skills. The card compartment can hold multiple cards, and the roller and elastic components allow the cards to be arranged sequentially from simple to complex.

[0016] 2. After the building blocks are inserted into the puzzle slots, the magnetic plate can magnetically attract the building blocks, preventing them from falling out of the puzzle slots.

[0017] 3. The sides of all the building blocks are rounded, and the upper opening edge of the puzzle slot is also rounded. This design increases the structural strength of the building blocks and the puzzle slot, and also facilitates the cooperation between the building blocks and the puzzle slot.

[0018] 4. The opening facilitates the insertion of cards into the card cavity. The cover plate and the opening are connected by an interference fit to seal the opening and prevent cards from falling out.

[0019] 5. The spring and support plate can support and lift the card to the card outlet, so that the top card is always aligned with the card outlet, so that it can be smoothly discharged from the card outlet under the action of the roller.

[0020] 6. For beginners in puzzles, parents can first place a card in one of the card slots so that one card can be released with each rotation of the roller. As the child's ability improves, parents can increase the difficulty of the words on the cards and the number of card slots so that multiple word cards can be released with each rotation of the roller, gradually improving the child's ability.

[0021] 7. The pressure bar can press and limit the middle of the word card placed in the card cavity, preventing the edge of the card from warping and deviating from the card exit, thus preventing the card from being smoothly discharged from the card exit.

[0022] 8. The anti-slip layer effectively increases the frictional resistance between the roller and the card, making it easier for the roller to rotate and eject the card from the card outlet. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example

[0034] Reference Figures 1-5An English puzzle block set includes a puzzle board 1 and several building blocks 3. The puzzle board 1 has puzzle slots 11 that cooperate with the building blocks 3. The building blocks 3 are cubes with six identical faces, and the width of each face is no greater than the width of the puzzle slot 11. During production, the six end faces of each building block 3 are printed with six adjacent letters in alphabetical order, that is, the twenty-six English letters are printed sequentially on five building blocks 3. The last building block 3 has letters printed on only two end faces, and the other four faces can be printed with cartoons or other designs to cater to children's interests. At least four building blocks 3 are set with the same letters to avoid the inability to spell words when there are multiple identical letters. The puzzle board 1 has a card compartment 2, and a card outlet 24 is located on the side wall of the card compartment 2. The card compartment 2 contains a drive mechanism for discharging cards from the card outlet 24. The drive mechanism includes a roller 4 rotatably connected within the card compartment 2, with the lower end of the roller 4 flush with the height of the card outlet 24. The card compartment 2 also contains an elastic component for supporting the topmost card at the height of the card outlet 24. Parents and children can interact and guide the child through the puzzle activity. Parents prepare several cards printed with different English words and place them in the card compartment 2. The cards can be arranged from top to bottom, increasing in difficulty. After the cards are placed in the card compartment 2, the elastic component supports the topmost card against the card outlet 24, with the center of the topmost card contacting the roller 4. After the child is ready to work on the puzzle, the parent rotates roller 4 to rub against the top card, ejecting it from card outlet 24. The child, guided by the parent, finds the corresponding block 3 and inserts it into the puzzle slot 11, continuing until the word is spelled out in alphabetical order. After completing a word, the parent rotates roller 4 again to eject the next card, guiding the child to continue. Once the child is proficient, they can rotate roller 4 independently and complete the puzzle. Parents can create more challenging puzzle cards based on the child's progress, gradually improving their puzzle skills. Card compartment 2 can hold multiple cards, and roller 4 and flexible components allow cards to be arranged from easy to difficult, exercising the child's puzzle-solving abilities while preventing impatience, increasing their sense of accomplishment, maintaining their interest, and improving their learning quality. Furthermore, the cards include English words, Chinese explanations, and illustrations, enhancing the child's understanding of the words.

[0035] The bottom inner wall of the puzzle slot 11 is equipped with a magnetic plate. The building block 3 is made of magnetic material. After the building block 3 is inserted into the puzzle slot 11, the magnetic plate can magnetically attract the building block 3, preventing the building block 3 from falling out of the puzzle slot 11.

[0036] In addition, the sides of the building blocks 3 are all rounded, and the upper opening edge of the puzzle slot 11 is also rounded. This design not only increases the structural strength of the building blocks 3 and the puzzle slot 11, but also facilitates the cooperation between the building blocks 3 and the puzzle slot 11.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The card compartment 2 has a slot on its side wall for placing cards into the card cavity 21, and a cover plate 25 on its side wall for sealing the slot. The slot facilitates the placement of cards into the card cavity 21, and the cover plate 25 is connected to the slot by an interference fit to seal the slot and prevent cards from falling out of the slot.

[0038] As a specific implementation of the elastic component, refer to Figure 4 The elastic component includes a support plate 22 slidably connected inside the card compartment 2, and a spring 23 fixedly connected between the support plate 22 and the bottom of the card compartment 2. The spring 23 and the support plate 22 can support the cards and lift them to the card outlet 24, so that the topmost card is always aligned with the card outlet 24, so that it can be smoothly discharged from the card outlet 24 under the action of the roller 4.

[0039] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The puzzle slots 11 are spaced out with several intervals, and the card compartments 2 have several card cavities 21 along the axis of the roller 4. For puzzle beginners, parents can first place a card in one of the card cavities 21 so that one card can be dispensed at a time when the roller 4 is rotated. As the child's ability improves, parents can increase the difficulty of the words on the cards and the number of card cavities 21 to dispense multiple word cards at a time when the roller 4 is rotated, thus gradually improving the child's ability.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 Each card cavity 21 is fixedly connected to a pressure rod 5, which is parallel to the roller 4 and at the same height. The pressure rod 5 can press and limit the middle of the word card placed in the card cavity 21, preventing the edge of the card from curling off from the card outlet 24 and causing the card to be unable to be discharged smoothly from the card outlet 24.

[0041] Reference Figures 3-4 In order to facilitate the rotation of the roller 4, one end of the roller 4 passes through the card compartment 2 and extends outside the card compartment 2. The end of the roller 4 outside the card compartment 2 is provided with a rotating handle 41.

[0042] The section of roller 4 located in card cavity 21 has an anti-slip layer on its outer wall. The anti-slip layer can effectively increase the frictional resistance between roller 4 and card, making it easier for roller 4 to rotate and discharge card from card outlet 24.
