Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toys, and in particular to a building block unit that supports multi-faceted magnetic assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Building blocks are educational and stress-relieving toys designed to develop logical thinking and spatial construction skills. To achieve more flexible assembly, Chinese utility model patent application CN202121528435.5 discloses a building block unit and a magnetically connected building block system. In this system, several magnetic components are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the housing. These magnetic components connect two adjacent building blocks by magnetic attraction. The magnetic components are concealed within the housing, resulting in a simple structure, attractive appearance, and convenient and quick installation and disassembly of the building blocks, improving user experience. User experience; however, in actual production, it was found that the above structure is quite complicated to assemble, requiring the magnetic components on the sides to be installed sequentially, making the production process complex and creating a bottleneck in production speed. Furthermore, during use, it was found that the actual magnetic attraction area formed by the assembly of the magnetic components and the shell is small, resulting in a limited splicing effect between two building blocks. If the positions of the magnetic components do not align, the magnetic force is significantly reduced, making it impossible to effectively connect multiple building blocks and limiting the possibility of splicing between them. Therefore, a more structurally sound building block unit is urgently needed to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the technical problems of high production and assembly difficulty and the resulting magnetic structure in existing magnetic building blocks, this utility model provides a solution.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a building block unit that supports multi-faceted magnetic assembly, including a shell. The surface of the shell forms two first connecting surfaces located at the end faces and multiple second connecting surfaces located on the sides. The shell is also provided with a magnetic component, the cross-sectional projected area of which accounts for 55-70% of the cross-sectional projected area of the shell, so that the first connecting surfaces and the second connecting surfaces can be magnetically attracted to any connecting surface of another building block unit.
[0005] As an improvement of this application, the housing consists of a main shell with an opening and a cover shell, the cover shell covering the opening of the main shell to form a sealed cavity for accommodating the magnetic component; the outer wall of the main shell is composed of a plurality of planes of equal area.
[0006] As an improvement of this application, the main shell and the cover shell are provided with a plurality of first mounting posts and second mounting posts on their opposite sides, and the end face of the first mounting post is provided with a mounting hole for insertion into the second mounting post; the magnetic component is located within the area enclosed by the plurality of first mounting posts.
[0007] As an improvement of this application, the second mounting post is interference-fitted with the first mounting post.
[0008] As an improvement of this application, multiple sets of the first mounting posts are jointly attached to the outer side of the magnetic component, thereby restricting the movement of the magnetic component.
[0009] As an improvement of this application, the cover is interference-fitted to the housing to press the two end faces of the magnetic component.
[0010] As an improvement of this application, the inner wall of the main shell is provided with a step facing the center of the sealing cavity, and the step is used to place the cover shell.
[0011] As an improvement to this application, the two first connecting surfaces are also formed with patterned markings.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a building block unit that supports multi-faceted magnetic assembly, including a shell. The surface of the shell forms two first connecting surfaces located at the ends and multiple second connecting surfaces located on the sides. The shell is also provided with a magnetic component, the cross-sectional projection area of which accounts for 55-70% of the cross-sectional projection area of the shell, so that the first and second connecting surfaces can be magnetically attracted to any connecting surface of another building block unit. By setting a single magnetic component to provide magnetic attraction, the assembly and production difficulty is reduced, and rapid production is achieved. The special proportion design makes the entire plane of the first and second connecting surfaces magnetically adsorbent, supporting users to achieve more combination possibilities and increasing the fun.

[0020] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.
[0021] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0022] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
[0023] To address the challenges of manufacturing and assembling existing magnetic building blocks, particularly the resulting magnetic structure, this application provides a building block unit that supports multi-faceted magnetic assembly. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The system includes a shell, the surface of which forms two first connecting surfaces at the ends and multiple second connecting surfaces on the sides. The shell also contains a magnetic component 3, the cross-sectional projected area of which occupies 55-70% of the shell's cross-sectional projected area, allowing the first and second connecting surfaces to magnetically attract any connecting surface of another building block. By using a single magnetic component 3 to provide magnetic attraction, assembly and production difficulties are reduced, enabling rapid production. The special proportion design ensures that the entire plane of the first and second connecting surfaces has magnetic adsorption capabilities, supporting more combination possibilities and increasing the fun.
[0024] In the specific design, the housing consists of a main shell 1 with an opening and a cover shell 2. The cover shell 2 covers the opening of the main shell 1 to form a sealed cavity for accommodating the magnetic component 3. The outer wall of the main shell 1 is composed of multiple planes of equal area. It is easy to understand that the cover shell 2 and the main shell 1 are fitted together to accommodate the magnetic component 3. This assembly method is simple and can achieve rapid production. In a further design, the facing sides of the main shell 1 and the cover shell 2 are provided with multiple sets of first mounting posts 11 and second mounting posts 21. The end face of the first mounting post 11 is provided with mounting holes 12 that are inserted into the second mounting posts 21. The magnetic component 3 is located within the enclosure of the multiple sets of first mounting posts 11. Within the specified range, the magnetic force generated will not have a large difference, facilitating quick connection for users; the first mounting post 11 and the second mounting post 21 can enable quick assembly of the cover shell 2 and the main shell 1, increasing the overall stability of the shell and simplifying the process; the specific installation process is as follows: after obtaining the materials, the magnetic component 3 is placed between multiple first mounting posts 11, and the first mounting posts 11 and the second mounting posts 21 are inserted to achieve a tight installation of the main shell 1 and the cover shell 2, making the overall installation process simpler; in a specific application embodiment, the building block unit is a regular octagonal prism, but is not limited to regular hexagonal prisms, regular triangular prisms, regular prisms, etc.
[0025] In a further embodiment, the second mounting post 21 is interference-fitted with the first mounting post 11. This interference fit provides a more secure assembly, preventing young users from bumping into the cover 2, main shell 1, and magnetic component 3, which could lead to disintegration. In this embodiment, multiple sets of first mounting posts 11 are fitted together against the outer side of the magnetic component 3, thereby restricting its movement and preventing movement within the cavity of the magnetic component 3. This would result in a large magnetic error between the first and second connecting surfaces, making it impossible to effectively continue assembling individual building blocks. To further increase the fixing ability of the magnetic component 3, the cover 2 is interference-fitted with the shell to press the two end faces of the magnetic component 3.
[0026] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the main shell 1 is provided with a step 13 facing the center of the sealing cavity. The step 13 is used to place the cover shell 2. The step 13 enables stable assembly of the cover shell 2 and improves the integrity of the assembly. Furthermore, the edge of the main shell 1 protects the edge of the cover shell 2, which also increases its service life.
[0027] In this embodiment, the two first connecting surfaces also form a pattern mark 4 to inform the user how to use the device and guide the user through the process.
[0028] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0029] 1. By setting a single magnetic component to provide magnetic attraction, the assembly and production difficulty is reduced, and rapid production is achieved; the special proportion design makes the entire plane of the first and second connecting surfaces have magnetic attraction capabilities, which can support users to realize more combination possibilities and increase the fun.
[0030] 2. The magnetic components are located within the area enclosed by multiple sets of first mounting posts, ensuring that the magnetic force does not vary significantly and facilitating quick connection for users. The first and second mounting posts enable rapid assembly of the cover and main shell, increasing the overall stability of the housing.
[0031] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
