Among them, base plate 10, elastic buckle 20 and convex column 30 adopt non-conductive material (for example plastic etc.) integrated molding and are made, to simplify manufacturing process, save production cost. The cross-sectional area of base plate 10 is greater than the cross-sectional area of elastic buckle 20 and the cross-sectional area of convex column 30, plays the role of support and positioning. Elastic buckle 20 is used for the recess structure 110 of first building block 100 buckle cooperation, convex column 30 is used for the button type joint 210 of second building block 200 insertion cooperation. In other implementation modes of the utility model, base plate 10, elastic buckle 20 and convex column 30 can also adopt conductive material (for example metal etc.) integrated molding and are made.

[0039] Among them, recess structure 110 includes any recess structure that can buckle connection convex component, such as through hole, recess, button type joint 210 includes male button part 2101 and female button part 2102 distributed in vertical direction. The specific structure and function application of button type joint 210 are more common on button type electrical building block toy, including insertion fixed button joint, spring snap button joint, wherein the insertion fixed button joint realizes the fixation of two through the close fit of female button part 2102 with convex column 30, and the spring snap button joint realizes the insertion fixation of two through the two spring parts of female button part 2102 inner wall clamping convex column 30. Since the button type joint 210 adopted in the embodiment is disclosed in the prior art, it is not described here.

[0040] In the embodiment, the substrate 10 is a round cake structure, the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30 are both cylindrical structures, the height of the protruding column 30 is less than the height of the elastic buckle 20, and the height of the substrate 10 is less than the height of the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30. The diameter of the substrate 10 is slightly greater than the diameter of the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30, the diameter of the elastic buckle 20 can be adapted to the size of the cavity structure 110 of most buckle building blocks on the market, and the diameter of the protruding column 30 can be adapted to the cavity size of the female button part 2102 of the button type joint 210 in most button building blocks on the market.

[0041] The number of the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30 is one, and the central axis of the elastic buckle 20 and the central axis of the protruding column 30 coincide on the central axis of the substrate 10. It can be understood that the substrate 10 is a symmetrical structure, and the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30 are arranged at the symmetrical center position of the substrate 10, which can ensure that the structure strength of the adapter is high, the stability is good, and the service life is improved.

[0042] The end of the elastic buckle 20 away from the substrate 10 is provided with two movable feet 21, and a clamping block 211 is arranged on the outer wall of each movable foot 21. The clamping block 211 is used for elastically moving with the movable foot 21 to abut against the outer wall (or the inner wall) of the cavity structure 110, thereby enhancing the connection strength of the elastic buckle 20 on the buckle building block. A limiting protrusion 22 is formed on the outer wall of the end of the elastic buckle 20 connected with the substrate 10, the diameter of the limiting protrusion 22 is equal to the diameter of the substrate 10, and the limiting protrusion 22 is used for abutting against the outer wall of the buckle building block and limiting the insertion distance of the elastic buckle 20 in the cavity structure 110.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the toy building block adapter of the second embodiment of the utility model is shown. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the substrate 10 in the embodiment is a regular hexagonal plate structure, and the diameter of the limiting protrusion 22 is less than the length of the side of the substrate 10. The cross-sectional area of the substrate 10 is much larger than the cross-sectional area of the elastic buckle 20 and the cross-sectional area of the protruding column 30. Specifically, the diagonal length of the substrate 10 is about five times the diameter of the protruding column 30. It can be understood that reasonably expanding the area of the substrate 10 can increase the contact area of the substrate 10 and the button building block, play a role in receiving and fixing, accurate positioning, and enhance the connection strength of the adapter and the button building block.

[0044] In other embodiments of the utility model, the substrate 10 can also be other symmetrical structures, for example, a circular plate, and the diameter of the circular plate can be set to 3.5-4.5 times the diameter of the protruding column 30, for example, the diameter of the circular plate can be 3.5 times, 4 times, 4.5 times, etc. the diameter of the protruding column 30.

[0045] The two side planes of the substrate 10 connected with the elastic buckle 20 and the protruding column 30 are provided with rounded corners 11, so as to improve the safety of the adapter and prevent the sharp edges from hurting people.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the toy building block adapter of the third embodiment of the utility model is shown. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the substrate 10 in the embodiment is a long strip-shaped plate structure, and the number of the elastic buckles 20 is two. The central axis line L1 of the two elastic buckles 20 coincides with the axis of symmetry of the substrate 10, and the length of the axis of symmetry is slightly greater than the sum of the diameter of the elastic buckle 20 and the central axis line L1, and the central axis of the protruding column 30 is located at the midpoint of the central axis line L1.

[0047] In the embodiment, in order to make the structure of the adapter compact enough, the sum of the diameter of the protruding column 30 and the elastic buckle 20 is greater than the length of the central axis line L1, that is, the protruding column 30 and the elastic buckle 20 exist interference in the longitudinal cross-sectional direction. It can be understood that when the adapter provided by the embodiment is connected to the buckle building block, the protruding column 30 can be located between the two recess structures of the buckle building block, so as to adjust the position of the button building block connected to the buckle building block.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the toy building block adapter of the fourth embodiment of the utility model is shown. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the third embodiment is that the central axis of the protruding column 30 is located on the perpendicular line L2 of the midpoint of the central axis line L1. Among them, the distance from the central axis of the protruding column 30 to the central axis line L1 is equal to half the length of the central axis line L1, that is, the central axis of any elastic buckle 20, the central axis of the protruding column 30 and the midpoint of the central axis line L1 can form an isosceles right triangle.

[0049] It can be understood that the protruding column 30 is located on the shorter axis of symmetry of the substrate 10, and the distance between the center of the protruding column 30 and the central axis line L1 is limited, which can on the one hand ensure that the structure of the adapter has high strength and good stability, thereby improving the service life, and on the other hand facilitate the adjustment of the position of the button building block connected to the buckle building block. Specifically, when the adapter provided by the embodiment is connected to the buckle building block, the protruding column 30 can be located between the four recess structures of the buckle building block.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11, the utility model discloses a toy building block adapter. The difference between the fifth embodiment and the third embodiment is that the base plate 10 is a long circular plate structure. Among them, the middle axis line connection line L1 of two elastic buckles 20 coincides with the longer axis symmetry line of the base plate 10, the length of the middle axis line connection line L1 is greater than (or equal to) the distance from the middle axis line of any elastic buckle 20 to the outer edge line of the base plate 10 on the same straight line, and the length of the farthest connection line on both sides of the two elastic buckles 20 is greater than the difference between the length of the longer axis symmetry line of the base plate 10 and the length of the farthest connection line. That is to say, if the longer axis symmetry line of the base plate 10 is L3, the connection line of the middle axis line of any elastic buckle 20 to the outer edge line of the base plate 10 is L4, and the farthest connection line on both sides of the two elastic buckles 20 is L5, then the length relationship of each line segment in the embodiment is L1>L4, L5>L3-L5.

[0051] It can be understood that the above structure can limit the position relationship and size relationship between the base plate 10 and the elastic buckle 20 and the convex column 30, reasonably expand the area of the base plate 10, on the one hand, can ensure that the structure strength of the adapter is high, the stability is good, and then improves the service life, on the other hand, can increase the contact area of the base plate 10 and the button building block, plays the role of receiving and fixing, accurate positioning, enhances the connection strength of the adapter and the button building block. In other embodiments of the utility model, the base plate 10 can also be other axisymmetric structures, for example, polygonal plates such as gourd-shaped plates, octagonal plates and the like.

[0052] The edges of the two side planes of the base plate 10 connected with the elastic buckle 20 and the convex column 30 are all provided with rounded corners 11, for improving the use safety of the adapter, preventing the case of sharp edges hurting people.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the utility model discloses a toy building block adapter. The difference between the sixth embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that the middle axis line of the convex column 30 is located on the midpoint perpendicular line L2 of the middle axis line connection line L1. Among them, the distance from the middle axis line of the convex column 30 to the middle axis line connection line L1 is equal to half of the length of the middle axis line connection line L1, that is, the center of any elastic buckle 20, the center of the convex column 30 and the midpoint connection line of the middle axis line connection line L1 can form an isosceles right triangle.

[0054] It can be understood that the convex column 30 is located on the shorter axis of symmetry line in the base plate 10, and the distance between the center of the convex column 30 and the connecting line L1 of the central axis is limited, which can ensure that the structure strength of the adapter is high, the stability is good, and the service life is improved, and on the other hand, it is convenient to adjust the position of the button building block connected to the buckle building block, and the contact area of the base plate 10 and the button building block is increased, which plays a role of receiving and fixing, accurate positioning, and enhances the connection strength of the adapter and the button building block.

[0055] In summary, the toy building block adapter provided by the utility model can limit the size relationship between the base plate 10 and the elastic buckle 20 and the convex column 30, and also limit the quantity relationship and the relative position relationship of the elastic buckle 20 and the convex column 30 on the base plate 10, so that any adapter structure meeting the above limiting relationship can have better structure strength and stability, and the service life is improved. Moreover, different structures of the adapter can meet the connection position requirement between the buckle building block and the button building block, and the utility is high.
