[0009] Preferably, the side plate is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the base.
[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the base is provided with a connecting section that is threadedly connected to the side plate, and the lower part of the base is provided with a limiting section that abuts against the bottom of the side plate, the outer periphery of the limiting section being flush with the outer periphery of the side plate.
[0011] Preferably, the support column is stepped and includes an insertion part and a support part arranged vertically, the outer diameter of the insertion part is smaller than the outer diameter of the support part; the bottom of the box body is provided with an insertion hole adapted to the insertion part, and the top of the support part abuts against the bottom of the box body.
[0012] Preferably, four support columns are evenly distributed around the bottom wall of the mounting cavity.
[0013] The present invention has the following advantages: The chess piece of the present invention is a split design, the cover and the base are detachably connected, and the core with the chess piece pattern is inserted into the slot. When needed, the cover can be opened and the core can be taken out for replacement to change the pattern of the chess piece, thereby facilitating customization according to the user's needs and expanding the application scenarios of chess.

[0020] It should be noted that the functions and methods involved in this utility model are merely conventional adaptive applications of existing technology. Therefore, the improvement of existing technology by this utility model lies in the connection relationship between hardware components, rather than in the functions and methods themselves. In other words, although this utility model involves some functions and methods, it does not include any improvements to the functions and methods themselves. The description of functions and methods in this utility model is for the purpose of better explaining and understanding this utility model.
[0021] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a chess piece, including a base 1. The base 1 has an open mounting cavity 11 on its inner periphery. A box 2 made of transparent material is disposed in the mounting cavity 11. The box 2 has a slot. One side of the slot passes through the side of the box 2 to form an insertion port 21. A core 3 is inserted into the slot. The top of the core 3 is drawn with a chess piece pattern (not shown in the figure).
[0024] Four support columns 12 are evenly distributed around the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11. Each support column 12 is stepped and includes an insertion part and a support part arranged vertically. The outer diameter of the insertion part is smaller than the outer diameter of the support part. The bottom of the box body 2 is provided with four insertion holes that fit the insertion part, and the top of the support part abuts against the bottom of the box body 2.
[0025] Specifically, the aforementioned box 2 is cylindrical, and a slot for accommodating the chip 3 is coaxially arranged on the upper part of the box 2. This slot divides the box 2 into a top cover 22 and a base 23. A notch 221 is provided on the top cover 22, which communicates with the slot and is located in the middle of the insertion port 21. In this embodiment, the chip 3 can be installed and removed into the slot via the insertion port 21 for easy replacement, and the design of the notch 221 facilitates the removal of the chip 3 from the slot.
[0026] Furthermore, the chess piece in this embodiment also includes a cover 4, which is detachably connected to the top of the base 1. Specifically, the cover 4 includes an integrally formed top plate 41 and a side plate 42. The top plate 41 has a tapered opening 411 that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The chess piece pattern is located inside the opening 411, and the notch 221 is located outside the opening 411 to prevent the notch 221 from being exposed from inside the opening 411. In this embodiment, the side plate 42 is threaded to the outer periphery of the base 1, and the bottom of the top plate 41 abuts against the top of the box 2, so that the box 2 is tightly clamped between the top plate 41 and the support column 12 to prevent the box 2 from shifting.
[0027] Furthermore, the upper part of the base 1 is provided with a connecting section 13 that is threadedly connected to the side plate 42, and the lower part of the base 1 is provided with a limiting section 14 that abuts against the bottom of the side plate 42. The outer periphery of the limiting section 14 is flush with the outer periphery of the side plate 42, so that the outer periphery of the chess piece is relatively smooth.
[0028] In this embodiment, the chess pieces are designed as separate units. The cover 4 and the base 1 are threaded together, making them detachable. The core 3, bearing the chess piece pattern, is inserted into a slot. When needed, the cover 4 can be opened, and the core 3 removed for replacement, thus changing the pattern of the chess piece and facilitating customization according to user needs. When users develop personalized chess pieces based on chess rules for professional training, the pattern of the core 3 can be changed, expanding the application scenarios of chess. For example, in practice, the traditional "General" and "King" can be replaced with "Business Opportunity," the traditional "Cannon" with "Technical Operations," the "Chariot" with "Strategic Capital," the "Horse" with "Marketing Team," the "Advisor" with "Strategic Model," the "Elephant" with "Management and Public Relations," and the "Pawn" and "Soldier" with "Brand Promotion Rules" and "After-Sales Profit," respectively, thus applying chess to the field of business management.
[0029] Specifically, the pattern of the core 3 can be changed through customization, hand drawing, or stickers.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
