[0002] A building block motor is a special toy motor used to drive the movement of a building block structure, and is often used as a motorized accessory of a building block toy. Most existing building block motors are LEGO-type motorized gears, which are often used together with a LEGO-type battery module to form a power unit of a building block vehicle.
[0003] For a building block structure assembled into a four-legged walking beast, if the automatic walking function is to be realized, the body structure of the walking beast needs to be assembled with building blocks first, and then a LEGO-type motorized gear is installed in the body structure to drive the movement of the four limbs. Although this design can realize the automatic walking of the four-legged walking beast building block structure, it has a difficult problem to solve, i.e., how to place the LEGO-type battery module electrically connected to the LEGO-type motorized gear. The four-legged walking beast building block structure is different from the building block vehicle structure, and the LEGO-type battery module can be placed in the vehicle cabin without affecting the appearance of the building block vehicle structure. However, if the four-legged walking beast building block structure is burdened with a lump of LEGO-type battery module, the appearance of the four-legged walking beast building block structure will be significantly affected. Therefore, we propose a novel power module which can be used as the body of a four-legged walking beast building block. SUMMARY
