Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of structural assembly technology, specifically a building block structural component for expanding connections. Background Technology
[0002] There are many structural building blocks on the market. However, they all have some drawbacks. When building a taller or longer structure, the number of building blocks required increases exponentially. With more blocks, the requirements for the building process become more demanding and the assembly becomes more cumbersome. Furthermore, with a large number of blocks, the stability and strength of the structure become very poor. Even worse, when structures extending from multiple directions are connected to each other, the hole spacing may not align. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a modular structural component for expanding connections that is highly compatible, easy to use, and has a wide range of applications.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A modular structural component for extended connection is characterized in that: the modular structural component consists of a base with a horizontal bottom, a connecting body with a vertical middle section, and an inclined top with an sloping top. The bottom of the connecting body is fixed to the top of the base, and the top of the connecting body is fixed with the inclined top. Connecting holes are arranged on the front and bottom surfaces of the base, the front, back, left and right surfaces of the connecting body, and the front, back, left and right inclined surfaces of the inclined top. The base, the connecting body, and the inclined top constitute a modular connector with connecting holes on seven sides.
[0006] The seven sides refer to: front, back, left, right, bottom, front slope, and back slope.
[0007] The connecting body has a wiring groove, and at least one wiring hole is opened at the bottom of the wiring groove.
[0008] The wiring channel is located in the middle of the connecting body, and connection holes are opened on the connecting body on both sides of the wiring channel.
[0009] The back of the base, the back of the connecting body, and the lower edge of the rear slope of the sloping top are located on the same plane, so that the base and the sloping top extend forward relative to the connecting body.
[0010] The base is provided with horizontal and vertical holes that are perpendicular to each other. The vertical holes are located directly below the connecting body. The horizontal and vertical holes are used to fix building blocks, install other components, or connect with other structural components.
[0011] The base can be regarded as being integrally formed by a horizontal part with a horizontal hole and a vertical part with a vertical hole. The horizontal holes of the base are all through holes, but their inner ends are blocked by the outer wall of the vertical part with the vertical hole. The vertical holes of the base are all through holes, but their inner ends are blocked by the bottom end of the connecting body.
[0012] When the base has 3 horizontal holes and 3 vertical holes, the base has a length of 3 LEGO hole units, a width of 2 LEGO hole units, and a height of 1 LEGO hole unit.
[0013] The connecting body includes front and rear central hole areas and left and right side hole areas arranged at intervals. The connecting holes arranged in the front and rear central hole areas and the left and right side hole areas are all through holes, and the bottom of the wiring groove in the front and rear central hole areas has corresponding wiring holes.
[0014] The front and rear main hole areas and the left and right side hole areas arranged on both sides of the wiring groove in the middle of the connecting body are the same, or the front and rear main hole areas and the left and right side hole areas arranged on both sides of the wiring groove in the middle of the connecting body are staggered.
[0015] The overall height of the front and rear main hole areas is lower than the overall height of the left and right side hole areas.
[0016] The aforementioned front and rear positive hole areas include a lower positive hole area with lower positive holes, a middle positive hole area with middle positive holes, and an upper positive hole area with upper positive holes. The aforementioned left and right side hole areas include a lower side hole area with lower side holes and an upper side hole area with upper side holes. The lower positive hole area, lower side hole area, middle positive hole area, upper side hole area, and upper positive hole area arranged sequentially from bottom to top constitute a partial connecting body located on one side of the cable tray. At this time, the above two sets of partial connecting bodies located on one side of the cable tray are combined with the bottom of the cable tray to form the entire connecting body; and the number of lower side holes is greater than the number of upper side holes.
[0017] The lower main hole area has 3 lower main holes on each side, the lower side hole area has 7 lower side holes on each side, the middle main hole area has 3 middle main holes on each side, the upper side hole area has 5 upper side holes on each side, and the upper main hole area has 3 upper main holes on each side; at this time, the length of the connecting body is 3 LEGO hole units, the width is 1 LEGO hole unit, and the height is 21 LEGO hole units.
[0018] The left and right side hole areas include a lower side hole area with lower side holes, a middle side hole area with middle side holes, and an upper side hole area with upper side holes. The front and rear front hole areas include a lower front hole area with lower front holes and an upper front hole area with upper front holes. The lower side hole area, lower front hole area, middle side hole area, upper front hole area, and upper side hole area arranged sequentially from bottom to top constitute a partial connecting body located on one side of the cable tray. At this time, the above two sets of partial connecting bodies located on one side of the cable tray are combined with the bottom of the cable tray to form the entire connecting body. Moreover, the number of lower side holes, the number of middle side holes, and the number of upper side holes gradually decrease.
[0019] The front and side holes are mainly used to fix various sensor modules, and can also be used to fix building blocks, install other parts, and connect with other structural components; the wiring holes and wiring channels are used to pass wires through and route them when there are sensor modules on the building blocks, so that the final structure is neat and tidy.
[0020] The inclined top includes an inclined hole area with inclined holes and inclined top side hole areas located at both ends of the inclined hole area. Inclined top side holes are provided in the inclined top side hole areas. Both the inclined holes and the inclined top side holes are through holes. The inclined top side hole area located at the bottom of the inclined top is used to connect to the top of the connecting body.
[0021] Angled holes and angled top side holes are mainly used to fix the orientation of various sensor structures. Of course, they can also be used to fix building blocks, install other parts, and connect with other structural components.
[0022] A break groove is provided in the middle of the sloping top side hole in the sloping top side hole area, and the length of the break groove is not less than one LEGO hole unit.
[0023] Three rows of nine inclined holes and four inclined top side holes are arranged on the inclined top. When the inclined top is set at a 45° angle, the length of the inclined top is three LEGO hole units, the width is four LEGO hole units, and the height is four LEGO hole units.
[0024] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0025] This utility model provides a modular structural component with strong compatibility, ease of use, and wide application. The component's stability and structural strength are improved by widening, its convenience by increasing height, and its seven sides have holes to enhance the ease and versatility of assembly. The sloping top structure makes structural rotation particularly easy, ensuring perfect interconnection of structures extending from multiple directions. The component also features wiring channels and multiple wiring holes, compatible with XH2.54 terminals and RJ45 crystal head terminals for wiring and threading. This makes it compatible with most sensor modules on the market, and the assembly process is both convenient and neat. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.
[0033] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended meaning of inclusion and that other elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.
[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown: A building block structure for extended connection, the building block structure consists of a base 1 with a horizontal bottom, a connecting body 2 with a vertical middle section, and an inclined top 3 with an sloping top. The bottom of the connecting body 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1, and the top of the connecting body 2 is fixed to the inclined top 3. Connecting holes are arranged on the front and bottom surfaces of the base 1, the front, back, left and right surfaces of the connecting body 2, and the front, back, left and right inclined surfaces of the inclined top 3. The base 1, the connecting body 2, and the inclined top 3 constitute a building block connector with connecting holes on seven sides. The seven sides refer to: front, back, left, right, bottom, front inclined surface, and back inclined surface.
[0035] To ensure the structural stability and aesthetics of this building block component, the back of the base 1, the back of the connecting body 2, and the lower edge of the rear slope of the sloping top 3 are located on the same plane, such that the base 1 and the sloping top 3 extend forward relative to the connecting body 2 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 4 (As shown).
[0036] Specifically, the base 1 has horizontal holes 11 and vertical holes 12 arranged perpendicularly to each other, with the vertical holes 12 located directly below the connecting body 2. The base 1 can be regarded as being integrally formed by a horizontal part with horizontal holes 11 and a vertical part with vertical holes 12. The horizontal holes 11 are all through holes, but their inner ends are blocked by the outer wall of the vertical part with vertical holes 12. The vertical holes 12 are all through holes, but their inner ends are partially blocked by the bottom end of the connecting body 2.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3 As shown: A wiring groove 26 is formed in the middle of the connecting body 2, and at least one wiring hole 27 is formed at the bottom of the wiring groove 26. Connection holes are formed on both sides of the connecting body 2. Specifically, in the area where the connection holes are provided, the connecting body 2 includes front and rear main hole areas and left and right side hole areas arranged at intervals. The connection holes arranged in the front and rear main hole areas and the left and right side hole areas are all through holes. The front and rear main hole areas and the left and right side hole areas arranged on both sides of the wiring groove 26 in the middle of the connecting body 2 are the same, or the front and rear main hole areas and the left and right side hole areas arranged on both sides of the wiring groove 26 in the middle of the connecting body 2 are staggered. A preferred option is that the overall height of the front and rear main hole areas is lower than the overall height of the left and right side hole areas.
[0038] like Figure 1-5One structure of the connecting body 2 shown is as follows: the front and rear positive hole areas include a lower positive hole area with a lower positive hole 21, a middle positive hole area with a middle positive hole 23, and an upper positive hole area with an upper positive hole 25; the left and right side hole areas include a lower side hole area with a lower side hole 22 and an upper side hole area with an upper side hole 24. The lower positive hole area, lower side hole area, middle positive hole area, upper side hole area, and upper positive hole area arranged sequentially from bottom to top constitute a part of the connecting body 2 located on one side of the cable tray 26. At this time, the above two sets of part of the connecting body 2 located on one side of the cable tray 26 are combined with the bottom of the cable tray 26 to form the entire connecting body 2; and the number of lower side holes 22 is greater than the number of upper side holes 24.
[0039] like Figure 1-5 As shown, there are 3 lower front holes 21 on each side in the lower front hole area, 7 lower side holes 22 on each side in the lower side hole area, 3 middle front holes 23 on each side in the middle front hole area, 5 upper side holes 24 on each side in the upper side hole area, and 3 upper front holes 25 on each side in the upper front hole area. At this time, the length of the connecting body 2 is 3 LEGO hole units, the width is 1 LEGO hole unit, and the height is 21 LEGO hole units.
[0040] Another configuration of the connecting body 2 is as follows: the left and right side hole areas include a lower side hole area with lower side holes 22, a middle side hole area with middle side holes, and an upper side hole area with upper side holes 24. The front and rear positive hole areas include a lower positive hole area with lower positive holes 21 and an upper positive hole area with upper positive holes 25. The lower side hole area, lower positive hole area, middle side hole area, upper positive hole area, and upper side hole area arranged sequentially from bottom to top constitute a part of the connecting body 2 located on one side of the cable tray 26. At this time, the two sets of the part of the connecting body 2 located on one side of the cable tray 26 are combined with the bottom of the cable tray 26 to form the entire connecting body 2. The number of lower side holes 22, the number of middle side holes, and the number of upper side holes 24 are gradually decreasing.
[0041] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the inclined top 3 includes an inclined hole area with inclined holes 31 arranged therein and inclined top side hole areas located at both ends of the inclined hole area. An inclined top side hole 32 is provided in the inclined top side hole area. Both the inclined holes 31 and the inclined top side holes 32 are through holes. The inclined top side hole area located at the bottom of the inclined top 3 is used to connect to the top of the connecting body 2.
[0042] like Figure 1-5 The sloping top side hole 32 in the sloping top side hole area shown has a break groove in the middle, and the length of the break groove is not less than one LEGO hole unit.
[0043] when Figure 1 and Figure 4The sloping top 3 is set at a 45° angle and has three rows of nine sloping holes 31 and four sloping top side holes 32 arranged on it. At this time, the length of the sloping top 3 is three LEGO hole units, the width is four LEGO hole units, and the height is four LEGO hole units.
[0044] It should be noted that the building block structure provided by this utility model for expanding connection has gaps between the connecting holes on the base 1, between the connecting holes on the connecting body 2, and between the inclined holes 31 on the inclined top 3. The purpose of setting the gaps is twofold: first, to enhance the flexibility of the connecting holes and allow for a small expansion space; and second, to reduce the overall weight. Example
[0045] This embodiment provides, for example Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a building block structure for extended connection. The building block structure is composed of a base 1, a connecting body 2, and a sloping top 3. The bottom of the connecting body 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1, and the top of the connecting body 2 is fixed to the sloping top 3. Connecting holes are arranged on the front and bottom surfaces of the base 1, the front, back, left and right surfaces of the connecting body 2, and the front, back, left and right sloping surfaces of the sloping top 3. The base 1, the connecting body 2, and the sloping top 3 constitute a building block connector with connecting holes on seven sides. The length of the building block structure is 3 LEGO hole units, the width is 4 LEGO hole units, and the height is 26 LEGO hole units.
[0046] The base 1 of this modular structure has two sets of three-hole connecting holes, one set of which is a horizontal hole 11 on the base facing the front (e.g., Figure 1 , 3 As shown), another set of connecting holes is the vertically downward-facing base vertical hole 12 (as shown). Figure 5 As shown), the base 1 is 3 LEGO hole units long, 2 LEGO hole units wide, and 1 LEGO hole unit high; the horizontal hole 11 and the vertical hole 12 of the base are used to fix the building block structure, install other parts, and connect with other building block structures. The connecting body 2 of this building block structure has three sets of positive holes on each side (as shown). Figure 1-4 The six lower main holes 21, six middle main holes 23, and six upper main holes 25, and three sets of side holes on each side (e.g.) Figure 1-4The main body 2 has 14 lower side holes 22 and 10 upper side holes 24. Its length is 3 LEGO hole units, its width is 1 LEGO hole unit, and its height is 21 LEGO hole units. The front of the main body 2 has a wiring groove 26 in the center, with three wiring holes 27 on each groove. The areas of the wiring holes 27 correspond one-to-one with the areas of the three sets of front holes. The front and side holes are mainly used to fix various sensor modules, and can also be used to fix building block components, install other parts, and connect with other building block components. When there are sensor modules on the building block components, wires are threaded through the wiring holes 27 and the wiring groove 26, resulting in a neat and orderly final structure. The sloping top 3 of the building block component is a 45° angled structure with 9 sloping holes 31 on its sloping surface (e.g., ...). Figure 1-3 As shown in Figure 5), there is one sloping top side hole 32 on each side (as shown in Figure 5). Figure 1 , 4 As shown), of course, due to the existence of the disconnecting groove, it can also be said that there are two sloping top side holes 32 on the upper and lower sides. The length of the sloping top 3 is 3 LEGO hole units, the width is 4 LEGO hole units, and the height is 4 LEGO hole units. The sloping holes 31 and sloping top side holes 32 are mainly used to fix the rotation of various sensor structures. Of course, they can also be used to fix building block structural parts, install other parts, and connect with other building block structural parts.
[0047] This utility model provides a modular structural component with strong compatibility, ease of use, and wide application. The component improves stability and structural strength through widening, enhances convenience through height, and features holes on seven sides to improve ease of assembly and versatility. The sloping top structure makes structural rotation particularly easy, ensuring perfect interconnection of structures extending from multiple directions. The component also includes wiring channels 26 and multiple wiring holes 27, compatible with XH2.54 terminals and RJ45 crystal head terminals for wiring and threading. This makes the structure compatible with most sensor modules on the market, and the assembly process is convenient while maintaining a neat appearance.
