[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this solution provides a multifunctional chessboard, including an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 that can be interlocked to form an installation cavity. The surface of the upper shell 1 is provided with a chessboard groove 101, and the surface of the chessboard groove 101 is provided with a lampshade assembly 3. The lampshade assembly 3 is confined within the chessboard groove 101 by a building block panel 4.

[0034] The lampshade assembly 3 is composed of several lampshade units 301 of the same specifications arranged in an array. Each lampshade unit 301 includes a hollow lampshade cavity and a lampshade through hole at the bottom that connects the lampshade cavity to the outside.

[0035] A PCB motherboard is installed within the mounting cavity, and a number of indicator lights matching the number of individual lampshades are connected to the PCB motherboard. The indicator lights pass through indicator light through-holes in the checkerboard groove 101 and extend into the lampshade cavity through the lampshade through-holes. It should be noted that connecting the indicator lights to the PCB motherboard and then controlling their color or on / off state via a control key module is common electrical knowledge and will not be described in detail in this embodiment, nor are the PCB motherboard and indicator lights illustrated. In this embodiment, the indicator lights can be crystal diodes.

[0036] The shape of the building block panel 4 matches the chessboard groove 101, and a number of building block splicing positions 401 corresponding to the building block individual 501 are provided on its surface. Adjacent building block splicing positions 401 are connected by building block slots 402.

[0037] The axial center of the building block splicing position 401 is provided with a lampshade through groove 403 that can be sleeved on the lampshade unit 301.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lampshade assembly 3 is firmly locked into the chessboard groove 101 by the building block panel 4, and then the color or on / off control of the indicator light embedded in the lampshade cavity can be realized by the control key module connected to the PCB motherboard, thereby realizing the operation of electronic games; and the building block panel 4 with building block slot 402 facilitates the splicing of building blocks 5.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the lampshade unit 301 is arranged in an N×M array on the surface of the chessboard groove 101, where N is a positive integer not less than 5 and M is a positive integer not less than N.

[0040] By limiting the specifications of the lampshade unit 301, the range of the chessboard lighting display area can be set.

[0041] Furthermore, since the number of lampshade slots 403 in this embodiment corresponds to the number of lampshade units 301, and the number of lampshade slots 403 corresponds to the number of building block splicing positions 401, the size of the area that the building blocks 5 can splice is also set.

[0042] As an example of this solution, both N and M are set to 13, thus forming a 13×13 game area.

[0043] As a second embodiment of this scheme, both N and M are set to 15, thus forming a 15×15 game area.

[0044] As the third embodiment of this scheme, both N and M are set to 19, thus forming a 19×19 game area.

[0045] The cross-section of the lampshade unit 301 is square, and correspondingly, the lampshade through groove 403 is square.

[0046] In addition, a sloping groove 404 is provided on the inner wall of the lampshade channel 403. Through the four sloping grooves 404 on each block splicing position, the light of the lampshade unit 301 can be guided outward, thereby obtaining a better light display effect.

[0047] It should be noted that the lampshade unit described in this embodiment is made of transparent material to facilitate the transmission of light.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes building blocks 5 that can be assembled with the building block assembly 4. The building block 5 includes at least one building block unit 501. The bottom side of the building block unit 501 is provided with a building block insert 502 that can be inserted into the building block slot 402, and a building block handle 503 is provided on the top so that the operator can carry the building block 503 for placement, thereby realizing the insertion and assembly of the building blocks 5.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the building block 5 includes at least one building block unit 501, thereby forming various irregular shapes of building blocks, such as a rectangular building block composed of 2 building block units 501, a small square building block composed of 4 building block units 501 connected together, an L-shaped or T-shaped building block composed of 5 building block units 501 connected together, etc.

[0050] In this embodiment, the block slot 402 can accommodate two block pins 502. Under this structure, when two adjacent blocks 5 are spliced ​​on the block panel 4, the sides of the two adjacent blocks 5 will fit together, and the block pins 502 located on the bottom side corresponding to these two sides will be inserted into the same block slot 402.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as an optimization of the building block unit 501, the building block unit 501 includes four building block pins 502, each corresponding to the axial position of the side of the building block unit 501; specifically, the four building block pins 502 are arranged in pairs, with one pair located at the axial position of one set of symmetrical sides and the other pair located at the axial position of another set of symmetrical sides; the outer sides of the four building block pins 502 are flush with the side of their corresponding building block unit 501.

[0052] Correspondingly, the block slots 402 located in the same row or column are located on the same horizontal line.

[0053] By restricting the rows and columns as described above, each block slot 402 can be arranged into an array with equal spacing, which facilitates the perfect splicing of multiple blocks 5.

[0054] In this embodiment, the building block pins 502 are cubes, which can be stably connected to the bottom of the building block unit 501, and the four building block pins 502 can provide stable support for the building block unit 501.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, as an optimization of the chessboard groove 101 in this embodiment, a pair of outwardly extending ear grooves 102 are provided on one side of the chessboard groove 101, and an ear plate 405 corresponding to the ear grooves 102 is provided on one side of the building block 4. The ear plate 405 can be embedded in the ear grooves 102. Through the setting of the ear plate 405 and the ear grooves 102, the embedding and connection of the building block 4 and its chessboard groove 101 can be better satisfied, realizing the stable positioning and fixing of the lampshade assembly 3; it can also facilitate the quick assembly between the building block 4 and its chessboard groove 101.

[0056] As a further optimization of this embodiment, the side of the building block panel 4 is also provided with a vertically upward flange 406. The flange 406 facilitates better embedding of the building block panel 4 into the chessboard groove 101. Furthermore, the flange 406 also ensures that the building blocks 5 are confined to the building block panel 4, preventing the building blocks 5 from being lost.

[0057] The above description is only for illustrating the embodiments of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
