Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LEGO building block toy technology, and in particular to a module for connecting LEGO building blocks. Background Technology

[0002] LEGO bricks are a very popular plastic building block toy. LEGO bricks are known for their unique designs, rich colors, and endless creative possibilities, and are loved by children and adults worldwide. The connecting modules of LEGO bricks are the core part of the LEGO system. They allow bricks to be connected and combined through specific interfaces. LEGO brick interface design is standardized, which means that bricks of different series and sizes can be connected to each other. This design allows the bricks to be freely combined, creating endless possibilities.

[0003] Existing modules for connecting LEGO bricks are first fixed to a wall or other object using pre-drilled screw holes and screws. This allows for the installation of both large and small LEGO bricks, and also enables the installation of modules or toys that do not contain large or small LEGO bricks. Users can assemble various types of modules or toys according to their needs. When connecting a module to a LEGO brick, the brick is first held in hand, and the connection point is... The two LEGO bricks are aligned with their protrusions and grooves, then pressed vertically downwards to ensure the protrusions are fully inserted into the grooves. A "click" sound or a noticeable tightening sensation indicates a successful connection. However, with repeated connection and disassembly, the edges and surfaces of the protrusions on existing LEGO brick-connecting modules gradually wear down, becoming less sharp and regular. This reduces the precision and tightening force of the fit with the grooves. As the edges and surfaces of the protrusions wear down, the fit between them and the grooves becomes less tight, potentially causing the bricks to loosen and affecting the overall stability and sturdiness of the structure.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new module for connecting LEGO bricks to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, and a fixed block is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic element away from the fixed frame. The fixed block is detachably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame by screws, and a trapezoidal block is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed block away from the elastic element. A movable plate is rotatably connected to one side wall of the fixed block via a connecting rod. Two fixed claws are rotatably connected to the end of the trapezoidal block away from the fixed block. A positioning rod is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate away from the fixed block. The limiting component is fixedly connected to one side wall of the fixed frame, and the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the LEGO brick.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a fixing plate and a limiting plate, the fixing plate being fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame, and the limiting plate being fixedly connected to one side wall of the fixing frame.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic element is a telescopic spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, and the end of the telescopic spring away from the fixed frame is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed block.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the module for connecting Lego bricks provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] With the designed connection mechanism, when it is necessary to connect the module body to the LEGO bricks, first align the LEGO bricks with the module body and press them down.
