Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toys, and in particular to a magnetic tangram puzzle toy. Background Technology

[0002] Tangram is an ancient Chinese traditional intellectual toy. As the name suggests, it consists of seven pieces, forming a complete square: five isosceles right triangles (two small triangles, one medium triangle, and two large triangles), one square, and one parallelogram. These seven pieces can be combined to form many shapes (over 1600), such as triangles, parallelograms, and irregular polygons. Players can also use them to create various figures, images, animals, bridges, houses, towers, and even Chinese and English letters.

[0003] Traditional tangrams can only be arranged horizontally to form various patterns, and are not suitable for vertical arrangement. To address this, a magnetic tangram has been introduced to the market. For example, the utility model patent "CN2936353Y," entitled "Traditional Tangram for Easy Vertical Assembly," discloses a traditional tangram that facilitates vertical assembly. Magnets are embedded on the back of each tangram piece, allowing them to be placed vertically on a sheet metal surface. Through magnetic force, the pieces are attracted to the sheet metal surface in their vertical positions. While this achieves magnetic positioning, there is no dedicated storage box for the tangrams when not in use, making storage and carrying inconvenient, and also leading to the problem of losing pieces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a magnetic tangram puzzle toy with a reasonable structural design that facilitates the storage and play of tangram pieces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A magnetic tangram puzzle toy includes a magnetic plate and a box. The box has several storage cavities with their openings facing upwards. The box has a horizontal pull-out groove corresponding to the opening. The magnetic plate can close or open the opening by pushing it into or pulling it out of the horizontal pull-out groove. The box has an inclined slot that passes through the horizontal pull-out groove and extends to the bottom of the storage cavity. The magnetic plate can be inserted into the inclined slot at an obtuse angle to the upper surface of the box.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the magnetic plate has a frame around its edge, which can further enhance the structural strength, improve the structural stability, and make it aesthetically pleasing.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the frame is a wooden frame and the box is a wooden box, which improves the toy's aesthetics, practicality, and durability, and provides a better texture and feel, making it more comfortable for children to play with.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the box contains several crisscrossing partitions forming the storage cavity. This ensures that each piece of the tangram puzzle has a dedicated storage space. This not only facilitates the classification and storage of the tangram puzzles but also prevents pieces of different shapes from being squeezed and damaged during storage.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the magnetic plate is an iron plate or a magnetic rubber plate, which can effectively attract the tangram pieces and ensure the stability and accuracy of the assembly.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the obtuse angle is 100-140 degrees, which is a suitable angle and convenient for playing and operation.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure of this utility model is reasonably designed, with several storage cavities on the box body, ensuring that each piece of the tangram has a dedicated storage location. This not only facilitates the classification and storage of the tangram pieces but also prevents pieces of different shapes from being squeezed and damaged during storage. It effectively solves the problem of traditional magnetic tangrams being difficult to store and carry when not in use, allowing the tangram pieces to be neatly stored after play, preventing loss and scattering. Simultaneously, the magnetic plate pushing into the horizontal pull-out slot supports horizontal assembly of the tangram pieces, and the magnetic plate inserting into the inclined slot supports vertical assembly, increasing the toy's functionality and practicality, and further enhancing children's interest in playing.

[0016] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the utility model in use.

[0017] Figure 5 This is a side view structural schematic diagram of the utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example: See Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a magnetic tangram puzzle toy, comprising a magnetic plate 1 and a box 2. The magnetic plate 1 can be an iron plate or a magnetic rubber plate, effectively attracting the tangram pieces by magnetically attracting them to the magnets on the tangram pieces, ensuring the stability and accuracy of assembly. A frame 3 is provided along the edge of the magnetic plate 1, further enhancing structural strength, stability, and aesthetics. The frame 3 is preferably a wooden frame, and the box 2 is preferably a wooden box, improving the toy's appearance, practicality, and durability, providing a better texture and feel, and making it more comfortable for children to play with.

[0019] The box body 2 is provided with several storage cavities 21, the openings of which face upwards. Specifically, the box body 2 has several crisscrossing partitions forming the storage cavities 21, ensuring that each piece of the tangram has a dedicated storage place. This not only facilitates the classification and storage of the tangram pieces but also prevents tangram pieces of different shapes from being squeezed and damaged during storage.

[0020] The box body 2 has a horizontal pull-out groove 22 corresponding to the opening. The magnetic plate 1 can close or open the opening by pushing it into or pulling it out of the horizontal pull-out groove 22. The box body 2 has an inclined slot 23 that passes through the horizontal pull-out groove 22 and extends to the bottom of the storage cavity 21. The magnetic plate 1 can be inserted into the inclined slot 23 at an obtuse angle α with the upper surface of the box body 2. The obtuse angle α is 100-140 degrees, preferably 115 degrees, for ease of play and operation. Preferably, a magnet can be provided at the bottom surface corresponding to the inclined slot 23, and the magnet can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic plate 1 to improve placement stability.

[0021] When not in use, the box 2 has several storage cavities 21, which allows each piece of the tangram to have a dedicated storage place. This not only facilitates the classification and storage of the tangram, but also prevents tangram pieces of different shapes from being squeezed and damaged during storage. It effectively solves the problem of traditional magnetic tangrams being difficult to store and carry when not in use, allowing the tangram to be neatly stored after playing, avoiding loss and scattering.

[0022] When playing, it has two assembly modes: horizontal and vertical. For example, it can be assembled horizontally or vertically. Figure 2 and Figure 1 As shown, the magnetic plate 1 is pushed into the horizontal pull-out slot 22 to achieve the horizontal assembly of the tangram pieces.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, inserting the magnetic plate 1 into the tilted slot 23 enables the vertical assembly of the tangram pieces, providing a variety of play options to meet different play needs.

[0024] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention. As described in the above embodiments of the present invention, other building block toys obtained using the same or similar structures are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
