Detailed implementation method:

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a hexagonal structure with a male and female buckle on each side, including a regular hexagonal body 1 and a locking plate assembly 4. The structure on each side of the regular hexagonal body 1 is identical, with a male buckle opening slot 101 and a female buckle opening slot 102 provided on each side. A male buckle 2 is provided in the male buckle opening slot 101, and the male buckle 2 includes a connecting post 201 and a ball head 202. One end of the connecting post 201 is connected to the bottom wall of the male buckle opening slot 101, and the other end of the connecting post 201 is connected to the ball head 202. The connecting post 201 is a cylindrical structure, and its central axis is one of the central axes of the ball head 202.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a female buckle 3 is provided in the female buckle opening slot 102. The female buckle 3 includes a first elastic clamping plate 301 and a second elastic clamping plate 302 spaced apart. The opposing walls of the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 are each provided with a spherical groove 303 adapted to the ball head 202 of the male buckle 2. There is space between the ball head 202 and the two side walls of the male buckle opening slot 101 to accommodate the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302. The ball head 202 of the male buckle 2 can open the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302, engaging with the spherical groove 303 of the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302, at which point the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 clamp the ball head 202. There is a certain distance between the side of the first elastic clamping plate 301 away from the second elastic clamping plate 302 and one side wall of the female buckle opening groove 102, and between the side of the second elastic clamping plate 302 away from the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the other side wall of the female buckle opening groove 102, to provide space for the elastic deformation of the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302. This distance cannot be too small, otherwise the ball head 202 will not be able to open the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302. It also cannot be too large, otherwise it will not provide a blocking effect and may easily cause the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 to break.

[0028] In this embodiment, the hexagonal main body 1, the male buckle 2, and the female buckle 3 are integrally formed and made of plastic material, which facilitates production.

[0029] The splicing principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting a male buckle 2 and a female buckle 3 on each side of the regular hexagonal body 1, any number of regular hexagonal bodies 1 can be arbitrarily assembled in a planar manner. For example, the structural diagram of two regular hexagonal bodies 1 being spliced ​​in a planar manner is shown below. Figure 6 As shown. The male buckle 2 of this utility model has a ball head 202, and the female buckle 3 of this utility model has a first elastic clamping plate 301 and a second elastic clamping plate 302. Both the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 have spherical grooves 303 on their opposing walls that are adapted to the ball head 202 of the male buckle 2. The ball head 202 of the male buckle 2 can open the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302, and engage with the spherical grooves 303 of the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302. At this time, the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 clamp the ball head 202. Therefore, the two regular hexagonal bodies 1 can rotate relative to each other through the cooperation of the ball head 202 and the spherical grooves 303, and thus be spliced ​​into a structure with a certain angle, such as the structure of two regular hexagonal bodies 1 spliced ​​into an acute angle, as shown in the figure. Figure 7As shown, the first elastic clamping plate 301 and the second elastic clamping plate 302 clamp the ball head 202, which makes the spliced ​​structure have a certain stability and can maintain the spliced ​​shape.

[0030] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a regular hexagonal main body 1 is provided with a through-hole structure 103 penetrating the regular hexagonal main body 1, and a card plate assembly 4 is detachably installed in the through-hole structure 103. A retaining edge structure 104 is provided on the hole wall of the through-hole structure 103. The card plate assembly 4 includes a first card plate 401 and a second card plate 402, both of which are regular hexagonal and their dimensions are adapted to the through-hole structure 103. The outer edges of the first card plate 401 and the second card plate 402 are provided with clearance step grooves 403 adapted to the retaining edge structure 104. The inner wall of the first card plate 401 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic suction grooves, and a first magnetic suction piece 404 is provided in the first magnetic suction groove. The inner wall of the second card plate 402 is provided with multiple second magnetic grooves, and a second magnetic piece 405 is provided in each second magnetic groove. The number of first magnetic pieces 404 and second magnetic pieces 405 is the same, and the positions of each first magnetic piece 404 and each second magnetic piece 405 correspond one-to-one. By providing a detachable card plate assembly 4, it is convenient to replace the card plate assembly 4 with different patterns, colors, and internal structures to achieve the desired appearance and function, effectively improving the diversity, flexibility, adaptability, user experience, and market competitiveness of this utility model. Moreover, the magnetic connection structure between the first card plate 401 and the second card plate 402 of the card plate assembly 4 has the advantages of simple structure and convenient manufacturing.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall surfaces of the first card plate 401 and the second card plate 402 are smooth planes, or the outer wall surfaces of the first card plate 401 and the second card plate 402 have at least one smooth plane area, which facilitates the removal of the card plate assembly 4 using a plastic suction cup.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first card plate 401 and / or the second card plate 402 are provided with through removal holes 406, through which the card plate assembly 4 can be easily removed. When both the first card plate 401 and the second card plate 402 are provided with through removal holes 406, the through removal holes 406 of the two should avoid each other.

[0033] In summary, this utility model, by setting the male buckle 2 and the female buckle 3, allows for the splicing of any number of planar components. Furthermore, two of these utility models can be spliced ​​together by combining the male buckle 2 and the female buckle 3 to create complex, varied, creative, and stable shapes, which can meet the growing creative and exploratory needs of children.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
