Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of educational toys, more specifically, it relates to a twisted sorting building block assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of toy design, building block toys have been a classic educational toy that children have loved for a long time. The design of traditional building block toys is relatively simple, and the general method of use is to insert various shapes and sizes of building block pieces into columns or connecting pieces, and to build different shapes and structures by splicing and combining. However, these building block toys have relatively simple shapes and functions, and lack more complex and diverse structural elements. Children often only engage in relatively simple splicing and combination during play.

[0003] Existing building block toys lack sufficient exploration and challenge. After children become familiar with the basic splicing method, they may feel monotonous and boring, thereby reducing their sustained interest and participation in building block toys. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the application is to provide a twisted sorting building block assembly to solve the technical problem of the existing technology that the structure is too simple and lacks interest.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the application is:

[0006] A twisted sorting building block assembly is provided, comprising:

[0007] A base comprising a bottom plate portion and a column portion, the column portion having a protrusion in the radial direction;

[0008] A plurality of building block pieces, each having a through hole corresponding to the axial profile of the column portion and the protrusion, each building block piece being insertable into the column portion, and each building block piece being arranged in layers. Traditional building block assemblies often appear slightly monotonous due to the simplicity of the insertion method, while the twisted sorting building block assembly in the application makes the insertion process of the building block pieces both challenging and fun through the design of the protrusion. Children need to constantly try and adjust to find the correct insertion path, thereby inserting the building block pieces onto the column portion.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0010] Optionally, one end of the column part is connected to the bottom plate part, and the other end of the column part has an elbow part. The elbow part not only enriches the structural form of the entire building block assembly, but also enhances the complexity and interest of the operation. Compared with the traditional straight column part, the introduction of the elbow part makes the building block need to undergo more space transformation and angle adjustment during the insertion process. Careful observation of the overall profile of the column part and the elbow part is required to ensure that the through hole on the building block can be aligned and passed through to the designated position, which not only tests the child's spatial cognition ability and hand-eye coordination ability, but also enhances the challenge and interest of the operation.

[0011] Optionally, the included angle between the axis of the column part and the axis of the elbow part ranges from 0° to 90°.

[0012] Optionally, the number of protrusions is multiple, and each protrusion is sequentially arranged along the axis direction of the column part. Multiple protrusions are equivalent to setting a series of "checkpoints" on the travel path of the building block. Each time a protrusion is passed, the building block needs to be adjusted accordingly to finally reach the designated position. Multiple protrusions not only enhance the operation challenge of the building block assembly, but also enhance the use interest.

[0013] Optionally, two protrusions adjacent to each other are arranged in the axial direction of the column part, and the two protrusions adjacent to each other are arranged staggered in the circumferential direction of the column part.

[0014] Optionally, the column part is provided with a slot extending in the radial direction, and the protrusion is inserted into the slot.

[0015] Optionally, the planar projection of each building block on the bottom plate part sequentially decreases from bottom to top along the axis direction of the column part, ensuring that each building block is arranged in order from large to small from bottom to top.

[0016] Optionally, the building block comprises a convex lobe extending in the radial direction of the column part and arranged in a radial manner, and the positions of the convex lobes of two adjacent building blocks correspond to each other.

[0017] The twisted and sorted building block assembly provided in the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The twisted sorting block assembly provided in this application includes a base and multiple blocks. A base plate supports the entire assembly, ensuring structural stability. Upright posts connect to the base plate, serving as guide posts for the blocks. Notably, the outer surface of the upright posts has protrusions extending radially. Each block has a through-hole corresponding to the axial contour of the upright post and the protrusion. Therefore, when inserting a block into the upright post, an alignment process is required. Children must align the through-holes on the block with the contours of the upright post and its protrusion to successfully pass the block through and move it to the designated position. This process not only tests children's observation and hands-on skills but also enriches the operability and challenge, thereby enhancing the fun of using the twisted sorting block assembly. Each block can be inserted into the upright post, and the blocks are arranged in a stacked manner. The addition of the protrusions not only enriches the overall structure of the block assembly but also adds an extra dimension to the block insertion process. Traditional building block sets often appear somewhat monotonous due to their simple assembly methods. However, the twisted sorting building block set in this application, through its raised design, makes the assembly process both challenging and fun. Children need to try and adjust repeatedly to find the correct insertion path and insert the blocks onto the pillars. Attached Figure Description

[0036] In the following description, suffixes such as "circuit," "component," "assembly," or "unit" are used only for the purpose of describing this utility model and have no specific meaning in themselves. Therefore, they can be used in combination.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a twisted sorting block assembly, including a base 1 and a plurality of blocks 2.

[0039] The base plate 11 supports the entire assembly, ensuring structural stability. The column 12 is connected to the base plate 11 and serves as a guide post for the building blocks 2. Notably, the outer surface of the column 12 has a protrusion 13 extending radially therein.

[0040] Each building block 2 has a through hole 21 corresponding to the axial profile of the columnar portion 12 and the protrusion 13, so that when the building block 2 is inserted into the columnar portion 12, it must undergo an alignment process. Specifically, the child needs to align the through hole 21 on the building block 2 with the profile of the columnar portion 12 and its protrusion 13, so as to smoothly pass the building block 2 and move it to the designated position. This process not only tests the child's observation and hands-on ability, but also enriches the operability and challenge, thereby enhancing the use interest of the twisted sorting building block assembly. Each building block 2 can be inserted into the columnar portion 12, and each building block 2 is arranged in layers. The addition of the protrusion 13 not only enriches the overall structure of the building block assembly, but also adds an extra dimension to the insertion process of the building block 2. The traditional building block assembly is often slightly monotonous due to the single insertion method, while the twisted sorting building block assembly in the present application makes the insertion process of the building block 2 both challenging and fun through the design of the protrusion 13. The child needs to constantly try and adjust to find the correct insertion path, so as to insert the building block 2 into the columnar portion 12.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In one specific embodiment of the present application, one end of the columnar portion 12 is connected to the bottom plate portion 11, and the other end of the columnar portion 12 has a bend portion 14. The bend portion 14 not only enriches the structural form of the entire building block assembly, but also enhances the complexity and interest of the operation. Compared with the traditional straight columnar portion, the introduction of the bend portion 14 makes the building block 2 need to undergo more spatial transformation and angle adjustment during the insertion process. The overall profile of the columnar portion 12 and the bend portion 14 needs to be carefully observed to ensure that the through hole 21 on the building block 2 can be aligned and passed to the designated position, which not only tests the child's spatial cognition ability and hand-eye coordination ability, but also enhances the challenge and interest of the operation.

[0042] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the included angle between the axis of the columnar portion 12 and the axis of the bend portion 14 ranges from 0° to 90°. In actual application, the specific bending angle can be selected according to product requirements.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 In one specific embodiment of the present application, the number of protrusions 13 is multiple, and each protrusion 13 is arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the columnar portion 12. The multiple protrusions 13 are equivalent to setting a series of "checkpoints" on the travel path of the building block 2. Each time a protrusion 13 is passed, the building block 2 needs to be adjusted accordingly to finally reach the designated position. The multiple protrusions 13 not only enhance the operation challenge of the building block assembly, but also enhance the use interest.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, two adjacent protrusions 13 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the column portion 12, and two adjacent protrusions 13 are staggered in the circumferential direction of the column portion 12.

[0045] Along the axial direction, the spaced protrusions 13 provide enough space for the building block 2 to adjust its posture, so that the building block 2 can smoothly pass from one protrusion 13 to the next protrusion 13.

[0046] On the circumferential direction, the staggered arrangement of the protrusions 13 further increases the difficulty and fun of the block 2 passing through. It requires more careful observation of the distribution of the protrusions 13 to ensure that the block 2 can successfully bypass each protrusion 13 obstacle and continue to move forward.

[0047] In one specific embodiment of this application, the column portion 12 is provided with a slot extending in the radial direction, and the protrusion 13 is inserted into the slot, thereby simplifying the connection between the protrusion 13 and the column portion 12 and reducing the assembly difficulty. Players can also change the complexity and difficulty of the twisted sorting block assembly by changing the number, shape, size and distribution of the protrusions 13 according to their own preferences and needs.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the planar projection of each block 2 on the base plate 11 decreases sequentially from bottom to top along the axial direction of the column 12, ensuring that each block 2 is arranged in descending order from bottom to top.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the building block 2 includes convex lobes extending radially along the column portion 12 and arranged in a radial pattern. The specific shape of the convex lobes can be petals, starbursts, etc., to improve the aesthetics of the building block 2. The positions of the convex lobes of two adjacent building blocks 2 correspond to each other, so that the shape of each building block 2 is more uniform and the overall aesthetics of the twisted sorting building block assembly are improved.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
