Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic toy technology, specifically to a magnetic assembly toy that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic toys are a type of toy that uses the attractive or repulsive forces between magnets to be assembled, combined, and constructed. Commercially available magnetic toys typically contain various small parts with magnets, such as magnetic sheets, magnetic rods, and magnetic balls. In use, multiple sets of these toys are usually connected magnetically to freely combine them into various planar or three-dimensional shapes and structures.

[0003] For example, patent application number 202120896799.2 discloses a magnetic building mat, which includes building blocks of various shapes and sizes, all connected by different internal magnets. In this patent, the interior of the building blocks has reserved space for the magnets to move, allowing them to rotate and move within the reserved space. Therefore, the magnetic attraction between the building blocks allows for various combinations and combinations, providing a wide range of play options.

[0004] However, outside of playtime, the storage of these magnetic building blocks often presents problems. First, to save storage space, the building blocks are usually stacked. Since each side of the building blocks has a cavity containing a magnet, the stacked blocks retain strong magnetism and are easily attracted to surrounding loose blocks or even other stacked blocks. This can cause the blocks to move close together and collide, ultimately resulting in the stacked blocks being disordered again.

[0005] In conclusion, the magnetic properties of existing magnetic building blocks make storage difficult. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a magnetic assembly toy that is easy to store. During the storage process, it can appropriately weaken its external magnetism to facilitate the smooth stacking and storage process.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A magnetic assembly toy that is easy to store includes: a main body with an edge groove and mounting holes on both sides; and a magnetic connecting part comprising a cylinder, a magnetic block, and mounting blocks. The cylinder is hollow, the magnetic block is eccentrically mounted in the inner cavity of the cylinder, and the mounting blocks are located at both ends of the cylinder. The mounting blocks are rotatably mounted in the mounting holes, allowing the magnetic connecting part to be rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. The mounting groove also includes a first limiting part, and the magnetic connecting part further includes a second limiting part adapted to the first limiting part, such that when the magnetic connecting part rotates to the second limiting part and is fixed relative to the first limiting part, the magnetic block faces the side where the main body is located.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first limiting part is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove, and the second limiting part is disposed at the end of the cylinder.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first limiting part includes a limiting block, and one end of the limiting block away from the side wall is a locking end, and a limiting groove is provided on the locking end; the second limiting part includes a limiting protrusion for engaging with the limiting groove.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a first gap is formed between the engaging end and the end face of the cylinder, and the height of the limiting protrusion is greater than the first gap.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a guiding arc surface structure is provided at the edge of the engaging end to guide the movement path of the limiting protrusion into the limiting groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side of the cylinder is provided with friction-enhancing texture.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the cylinder includes a main shell, a closing cover, and a clamping block, wherein one end of the main shell is provided with a combined opening, the closing cover is installed on and covers the combined opening, and the clamping block is provided inside the cylinder for eccentrically mounting the magnetic block.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the clamping block includes two sets of clamping plates, and a clamping space for accommodating the magnetic block is formed between the two sets of clamping plates. A first clamping block is provided in the clamping space. A second clamping block is provided on the closed cover, so that when the closed cover covers the combined opening, the first clamping block and the second clamping block form a clamping and fixing of the magnetic block in the axial direction.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, an anti-collision arc surface structure is provided on the edge portion.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, a separation auxiliary surface structure is also provided on the edge portion, so that when the magnetic splicing toys are stacked, the separation auxiliary surface structure on the two adjacent magnetic splicing toys forms a separation force application groove.

[0018] Under the structure of this utility model, during the non-storage stage, users can use the magnetic connecting parts on the magnetic assembly toys to magnetically connect multiple sets of magnetic assembly toys to build different three-dimensional structures without affecting the normal use of the magnetic assembly toys. However, when storing magnetic building toys, the user can rotate the magnetic connecting block to lock the first and second limiting parts together, fixing the magnetic block facing the side of the main body away from its edge. In this configuration, the spacing between the magnetic blocks is appropriate, allowing them to attract each other and preventing relative sliding between adjacent sets of magnetic building toys, thus improving the stability of the stack. Furthermore, because the magnetic blocks are away from the edge of the main body, the overall horizontal magnetic attraction of the magnetic building toy is reduced, effectively decreasing the strength of the attraction between the magnetic building toy and other adjacent magnetic building toys (excluding those in the vertical direction). This reduces the likelihood of them colliding due to magnetic attraction, thus facilitating the storage of the magnetic building toys.

[0019] In the preferred structure, the anti-collision arc surface structure and the force-sharing auxiliary inclined surface structure provided on the edge can form a separation force-applying groove between two adjacent magnetic assembly toys. This groove makes it easy for users to insert the tip of their fingers or other auxiliary prying blocks and apply force to complete the separation of the two adjacent magnetic assembly toys. Therefore, it is also convenient for users to retrieve the magnetic assembly toys after they have been stored. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the construction shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] This embodiment provides a magnetic assembly toy that is easy to store, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it mainly comprises a main body 1 and a magnetic connection part 2. Among them, as... Figure 1 and 7 As shown, a mounting groove 102 is provided on the edge portion 101 of the main body 1, and mounting holes 103 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 102; Figures 3-5 As shown, the magnetic connection part 2 includes a cylindrical body 201, a magnetic block 202, and a mounting block 203. The cylindrical body 201 has a hollow structure. The magnetic block 202 is eccentrically installed in the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 201. The mounting block 203 is disposed at both ends of the cylindrical body 201. The mounting block 203 is rotatably installed in the mounting hole 103 so that the magnetic connection part 2 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 102.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a first limiting part 104 is also provided in the mounting groove 102, and the magnetic connecting part 2 includes a second limiting part 204 adapted to the first limiting part 104, so that when the magnetic connecting part 2 rotates to the point where the second limiting part 204 engages and is fixed with the first limiting part 104, the magnetic block 202 faces the side where the main body part 1 is located, so that the magnetic assembly toy is in a stored state. In this state, the overall outward magnetic attraction of the magnetic assembly toy in the horizontal direction is reduced, effectively reducing the strength of the mutual attraction between the magnetic assembly toy and other adjacent magnetic assembly toys except in the vertical direction. However, at the same time, as Figure 10 As shown, in this state, the magnetic blocks 202 on the stacked magnetic puzzle toys still maintain an appropriate spacing, that is, they can generate a suitable magnetic attraction force so that they can attract each other, thus preventing relative sliding between the two adjacent sets of magnetic puzzle toys, which is beneficial to the stability of the stack formed by the magnetic puzzle toys. In this embodiment, the first limiting part 104 and the second limiting part 204 can adopt a combination structure of convex and concave parts to form mutual locking and fixing, or form mutual magnetic attraction and fixing by embedding small magnetic blocks 202 and iron blocks, that is, any structure in which the two can be fixed to each other is acceptable; at the same time, the first limiting part 104 can be arranged on the side wall 102-1 where the mounting hole 103 is located on the mounting groove 102, and the corresponding second limiting part 204 is arranged on the end face of the cylinder 201, or the first limiting part 104 is arranged on the inner wall 102-2 of the mounting groove 102, and the corresponding second limiting part 204 is arranged on the side of the cylinder 201.

[0036] Preferably, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first limiting part 104 is disposed on the side wall 102-1 of the mounting groove 102, and the second limiting part 204 is disposed on the end 201a of the cylinder 201. When the two sets of magnetic assembly toys attract each other and become relatively connected, they usually contact each other through the side of the cylinder 201 on the magnetic connection part 2. With this structure, the second limiting part 204 is avoided from being disposed on the side of the cylinder 201, thus avoiding the situation where the magnetic connection between the two sets of magnetic assembly toys is affected.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, the first limiting part 104 includes a limiting block 104-1, and one end of the limiting block 104-1 away from the side wall is a locking end, on which a limiting groove 104-2 is provided; as Figure 3As shown, the second limiting part 204 includes a limiting protrusion 204-1 for engaging with the limiting groove 104-2. In this structure, the first limiting part 104 and the second limiting part 204 are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The damping sensation during the snap-fit ​​process and the collision sound after the snap-fit ​​is completed can remind the user that the snap-fit ​​is in place and that the magnetic assembly toy can be stored away.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, a first gap L1 is formed between the engaging end and the end face of the cylinder 201. The height of the limiting protrusion 204-1 is greater than the first gap L1. The setting of the first gap L1 under this structure ensures that the limiting block 104-1 will not affect the rotation of the cylinder 201 when it is not engaged, thereby avoiding the setting of the first limiting structure in the normal use of the magnetic splicing toy; while the limitation of the height of the limiting protrusion 204-1 ensures the firmness of the engagement between the first limiting part 104 and the second limiting part 204.

[0039] Preferably, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, a guide arc surface structure 104-3 is provided at the edge of the engaging end to guide the movement path of the limiting protrusion 204-1 into the limiting groove 104-2. This structure reduces the wear and tear on the convex surface of the limiting protrusion 204-1 during long-term use and extends its service life.

[0040] Preferably, the side of the cylinder 201 is provided with friction-enhancing textures. On the one hand, the friction-enhancing textures reduce the possibility of the two sets of magnetic assembly toys sliding against each other after they are attracted to each other by increasing friction. On the other hand, the friction-enhancing textures can also provide sufficient friction when the user rotates the magnetic connecting part 2 to fix the first limiting part 104 and the second limiting part 204 together, making it easier for the user to turn the magnetic assembly toy into a storage state.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the cylinder 201 includes a main shell 201-1, a closing cover 201-2, and a clamping block 201-3. One end of the main shell 201-1 is provided with a combined opening, and the closing cover 201-2 is installed and covers the combined opening. The clamping block 201-3 is provided on the inner wall of the main shell 201-1 for eccentrically mounting the magnetic block 202.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the clamping block 201-3 includes two sets of clamping plates 201-3a, and a clamping space for accommodating the magnetic block 202 is formed between the two sets of clamping plates 201-3a. The two sets of clamping plates 201-3a clamp and fix the magnetic block 202 in the radial direction. A first clamping block 201-3b is provided in the clamping space. A second clamping block 201-3c is provided on the closing cover 201-2, so that when the closing cover 201-2 covers the combined opening, the first clamping block 201-3b and the second clamping block 201-3c clamp and fix the magnetic block 202 in the axial direction.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] The magnetic assembly toy provided in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that, as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an anti-collision arc surface structure 101-1 is provided on the edge portion 101. On the one hand, this structure prevents young users from being injured by bumping into the edge portion 101 on the main body 1. On the other hand, as... Figure 9 As shown, when the magnetic building toys are stacked vertically, the anti-collision arc surface structure 101-1 together forms an opening at the edge 101 between the two. Compared with the storage state in Embodiment 1, where the magnetic block 202 reaches the appropriate position and provides appropriate magnetic attraction, allowing the two sets of magnetic building toys to be magnetically attracted and fixed to each other without being difficult to separate, the opening in this embodiment can further facilitate the user to quickly separate the two when taking out the magnetic building toys again. That is, the user can apply force from the opening to quickly achieve the separation of the two.

[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, a separation auxiliary surface structure 101-2 is also provided on the edge portion 101, so that when the magnetic splicing toys are stacked, the separation auxiliary surface structure 101-2 on the two adjacent magnetic splicing toys forms a separation force application groove α. The groove is connected to the opening, which further provides the user with a suitable force application space. When performing separation work, the user can insert the tip of the finger or other auxiliary blocks into the separation force application groove α, and then apply a pushing force to the two sets of magnetic splicing toys to easily complete the separation between them.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
