Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toys, and more particularly to a magnetic cube toy. Background Technology

[0002] Building blocks are assembled into various shapes by arranging and stacking them for children to play with. Playing with them helps develop children's intelligence and train their hand-eye coordination. However, traditional block toys cannot be placed horizontally after being lifted off the ground, and the ways to play with them are relatively limited. To solve the above problems, a magnetic block toy, as disclosed in application number 201920323600.X, uses magnets inside the blocks to allow adjacent blocks to be attracted and connected together, improving the playability of the blocks. However, the main body is clamped by the protrusions between two cover plates. Because the main body is thin and not strong enough, it is easily deformed and damaged by children pressing it during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a magnetic cube toy with a stable structure that is not easily deformed.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a magnetic cube toy, comprising a main body and two cover plates. The main body is formed into a cube shape by four side plates. The main body has openings on the top and bottom sides, and the two cover plates cover the openings on both sides of the main body. Receiving cavities are provided at the top and bottom corners of the main body, and magnets are provided in the receiving cavities. The magnets can be rotated within the receiving cavities. A support part is provided in the middle of the main body, and eight support plates are provided on the support part. The support plates are located on the diagonal of the main body from a top view and on the vertical line of the side plates.

[0005] Furthermore, an arc-shaped reinforcing plate is provided on the inner side of the connecting edge of the adjacent side plates, and the receiving cavity is located inside the reinforcing plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a partition plate is provided in the middle of the reinforcing plate, and partition columns are provided at the upper and lower ends of the partition plate, with the receiving cavity located outside the partition columns.

[0007] Furthermore, an installation cylinder is provided in the middle of the inner side of the side plate, and an installation post matching the installation cylinder is provided on the cover plate, with the installation post inserted into the installation cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the reinforcing plate is the same as that of the mounting cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the cover plate and the top of the side plate are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The extension line of the support plate located on the diagonal of the main body from a top-down view can form a triangle with the two adjacent side plates on the main body, which can increase the main body's resistance to lateral pushing and prevent the main body from deforming during play. The support plate located perpendicular to the side plates in the top-down view of the main body can improve the block toy's resistance to pressing in the direction perpendicular to the side plates, preventing damage to the main body due to pushing and pressing during play; 2. The arc-shaped reinforcing plate further enhances the main body's resistance to lateral pushing and pressing. In addition, the reinforcing plate is at the same height as the mounting cylinder, and the bottom of the cover plate contacts the reinforcing plate after installation. The reinforcing plate can improve the block toy's resistance to pressing in the direction perpendicular to the cover plate; 3. The cover plate is provided with reinforcing ribs to increase the strength of the cover plate. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Example: Referring to the accompanying drawings, a magnetic cube toy includes a main body 1 and two cover plates 2. The main body 1 is formed into a cube shape by four side plates 11. The main body 1 has openings on the top and bottom sides, and the two cover plates 2 cover the openings on both sides of the main body 1. Receiving cavities 4 are provided at the top and bottom corners of the main body 1. Magnets 3 are placed inside the receiving cavities 4. The magnets 3 can rotate within the receiving cavities 4. When approaching other magnetic cubes, due to the repulsion of like poles and the attraction of unlike poles, the magnets in the receiving cavities 4 will automatically rotate and attract to the magnets 3 in adjacent magnetic cubes, allowing multiple magnetic cubes to be attracted and connected together. The main body 1 has a support part 5 in the middle, and eight support plates 51 are provided on the support part 5. The support plates 51 are located on the diagonal of the main body 1 from a top view and on the vertical line of the side plate 11. The extension line of the support plate 51 on the diagonal of the main body from a top view can form a triangle with the two adjacent side plates 11 on the main body 1, which increases the resistance of the main body 1 to lateral pushing and prevents the main body 1 from deforming when playing. The support plate 51 located on the top view of the main body and perpendicular to the side plate can improve the magnetic cube's resistance to pressing in the direction perpendicular to the side plate 11, prevent damage to the main body, and increase the life of the magnetic cube.

[0018] Furthermore, an arc-shaped reinforcing plate 6 is provided on the inner side of the connecting edge of the adjacent side plate 11. The arc-shaped reinforcing plate 6 has a good ability to resist lateral pushing and pressing, which further improves the stability of the magnetic block. The receiving cavity 4 is located inside the reinforcing plate 6.

[0019] Furthermore, a partition plate 62 is provided in the middle of the reinforcing plate 6, and partition columns 61 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the partition plate 62. The receiving cavity 4 is located outside the partition column 61. The partition column can separate the magnets 3 in the receiving cavities 4 on the upper and lower sides of the same reinforcing plate 6, so as to prevent them from being attracted together.

[0020] Furthermore, an installation cylinder 71 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the side plate 11, and an installation post 72 matching the installation cylinder 71 is provided on the cover plate 2. The installation post 72 is inserted into the installation cylinder 71, thereby installing the cover plate 2 onto the main body 1.

[0021] Furthermore, the height of the reinforcing plate 6 is the same as that of the mounting cylinder 71. The installed cover plate 2 is in contact with the reinforcing plate 6. The reinforcing plate can share the pressing pressure applied vertically to the cover plate 2, increase the strength of the cover plate 2, and prevent the cover plate 2 from being damaged during play.

[0022] Furthermore, the top of the cover plate 2 and the top of the side plate 11 are located on the same horizontal plane, which is conducive to mechanized automated production.

[0023] Furthermore, the cover plate 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 21 to further increase the strength of the cover plate 2.

[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
