Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of children's toys, specifically to a light maze teaching toy. Background Technology

[0002] In preschool education, exploring physical phenomena such as sound, light, and electromagnetism is an important part of cultivating children's scientific literacy. Currently, kindergartens' exploration of light mainly focuses on basic concepts of light, the relationship between light and shadow, and the propagation of light. The propagation of light is primarily addressed through experiments and observation activities, such as covering the light source with cardboard to allow children to visually observe the phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line. However, there are some shortcomings in these light exploration activities. The depth of exploration is insufficient; activities often remain superficial. For some optical phenomena, such as light refraction and reflection, there is only simple observation and description, lacking in-depth exploration and failing to fully stimulate children's thinking and creativity. Furthermore, the exploration of light reflection is not combined with spatial visual experience, lacking innovation. For example, a light and shadow box made of acrylic sheet simply projects different shapes using light reflection. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a simple, easy-to-understand light path reflection teaching toy that combines hands-on ability and offers multiple light reflection paths. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a light maze teaching toy that features a simple structure, easy understanding of light path reflection, hands-on ability, and multiple light path reflection routes.

[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: It includes a cubic main body with openings on the front and top. The main body contains N rows of M columns of L layers (N, M, and L are all integers greater than 1) of light path refraction cubes. These light path refraction cubes are made of transparent material, and each cube has a reflector that alters the laser path. The left side of the main body has M columns of L layers of laser projection holes corresponding to the light path refraction cubes. One laser projection hole contains a laser pointer, and the remaining laser projection holes contain projection hole plugs. The right side of the main body has M columns of L layers of laser transmission holes corresponding to the light path refraction cubes. One laser transmission hole contains a projected beam, and the remaining laser transmission holes contain projection hole plugs.

[0005] Furthermore, the light path refraction cube includes a left transparent cylinder and a right transparent cylinder. The left and right transparent cylinders have the same structure and are both right quadrangular prisms. A reflector is fixed between the left and right transparent cylinders, and the reflector, the left transparent cylinder, and the right transparent cylinder form a cube.

[0006] Furthermore, the left and right transparent cylinders are made of glass or acrylic.

[0007] Furthermore, the laser pointer is fitted with a gap between the laser projection hole and the laser pointer, and a first rubber retaining ring is provided on the outside of the laser pointer to fit with the laser projection hole; the projected beam is fitted with a gap between the laser emission hole and the laser emission hole, and a second rubber retaining ring is provided on the outside of the projected beam to fit with the laser emission hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the projected light beam is made of glass or acrylic material.

[0009] Furthermore, the projected light beam is filled with pearlescent powder, which is used to form visible laser beams.

[0010] Furthermore, the laser projection hole and the projection hole plug are either interference-fitted or overfitted, and the laser transmission hole and the projection hole plug are also interference-fitted or overfitted.

[0011] Furthermore, both the projection plug and the ejection plug have a straight gripping part on their outer sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner sides of the projection hole plug and the ejection hole plug are chamfered.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the main housing is provided with dividing convex lines that cooperate with the light path refraction cube.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model.

[0016] This invention installs a laser pointer in laser projection holes at different positions and a projected beam in laser exit holes at different positions. This allows the position of the laser source and the laser exit to be changed. By changing the reflection direction of the light path refraction cubes and stacking them, the reflection path of the laser can be changed, thereby guiding the laser beam out from the exit.

[0017] This invention can change the position of the laser source and the laser outlet to obtain different laser light path routes, making the light maze teaching toy more playable.

[0018] This new type of light maze teaching toy helps young children explore and discover the conditions or influencing factors that produce common optical phenomena, stimulates their interest in exploration, allows them to experience the exploration process, develops their preliminary exploration abilities, and enhances their scientific cognition and hands-on skills. At the same time, by manipulating the teaching aids, children can explore the principle of light reflection and better understand the principle of light reflection by changing the way the mirrors are stacked, thus improving their exploration abilities.

[0019] This invention can be used as a teaching aid for exploring light path reflection experiments. By stacking light path refraction cubes to reflect laser light, it enhances the interactivity of light path reflection experiments and facilitates understanding of the principle of light path reflection. It can also be used as an educational toy for preschool children. By stacking light path refraction cubes to reflect laser light, it can exercise the hands-on ability of preschool children, stimulate their interest in exploration, experience the exploration process, and develop preliminary exploration skills.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model. However, it should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious. All utility model creations utilizing the concept of this utility model are within the scope of protection.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the light path maze teaching toy includes a cubic main body 1 with openings on the front and top. Inside the main body 1 are N rows, M columns, and L layers of light path refraction cubes 3 (N, M, and L are all integers greater than 1). In this embodiment, the light path refraction cubes 3 are preferably arranged in eight locations, corresponding to two rows, two columns, and two layers. The light path refraction cubes 3 are made of transparent material, and each light path refraction cube 3 is equipped with a reflector 33 that alters the laser path. The reflector 33 is positioned within the plane of the diagonal edges of the light path refraction cube 3. On the left side of the main body 1, there are M columns and L layers of laser projection holes 11 corresponding to the light path refraction cubes 3. One laser projection hole 11 contains a laser pointer 2 with a power switch for easy control of the laser light source. The laser color produced by the laser pointer 2 can be green or red. The remaining laser projection holes 11 are fitted with projection hole plugs 13. On the right side of the main housing 1, there is an M-column L-layer laser transmission hole 12 corresponding to the light path refraction cube 3. A projection beam 4 is installed in one laser transmission hole 12, and a projection hole plug 14 is installed in the remaining laser transmission holes 12.

[0030] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the light path refraction cube 3 includes a left transparent cylinder 31 and a right transparent cylinder 32. The left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32 have identical structures and are preferably made of glass or acrylic. Both the left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32 are right quadrangular prisms. A reflector 33 is fixed between the left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32, forming a cube. Both the left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32 have grooves for mounting the reflector 33. The reflector 33 is embedded in the groove, and the left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32 are bonded together through the sides of the grooves, thus fixing the reflector 33, the left and right transparent cylinders 31 and 32 together to form a cube.

[0031] In this embodiment, the laser pointer 2 is clearance-fitted with the laser projection hole 11. A first rubber retaining ring is provided on the outside of the laser pointer 2 to mate with the laser projection hole 11. This first rubber retaining ring allows the laser pointer 2 to be easily fixed within the laser projection hole 11 at different positions. Multiple first rubber retaining rings of varying thicknesses can be provided to accommodate laser pointers 2 of different diameters. The projected beam 4 is clearance-fitted with the laser transmission hole 12. A second rubber retaining ring is provided on the outside of the projected beam 4 to mate with the laser transmission hole 12. This second rubber retaining ring facilitates the locking and fixing of the projected beam 4 within the laser transmission hole 12 at different positions.

[0032] In this embodiment, the projection beam 4 is filled with pearlescent powder, which is used to form a visible laser beam. The projection beam 4 is made of glass or acrylic. During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of pearlescent powder is mixed into the glass or acrylic. The pearlescent powder can form a dust-like effect inside the transparent projection beam 4, thereby making the laser beam passing through the projection beam 4 visible, thus facilitating the observation of the laser beam emanating from the projection beam 4. Appropriate amounts of pearlescent powder can also be filled into the left transparent beam 31 and the right transparent beam 32 to facilitate observation of the entire laser beam path. The pearlescent powder can also be replaced with other powder materials, such as flour or metal powder.

[0033] In the embodiment, the laser projection hole 11 and the projection hole plug 13 are interference-fitted or overfitted, and the laser emission hole 12 and the emission hole plug 14 are interference-fitted or overfitted, so that the projection hole plug 13 and the emission hole plug 14 can be firmly locked in the laser projection hole 11 and the projection hole plug 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the projection hole plug 13 and the ejection hole plug 14 are provided with a straight gripping part on their outer side. The straight gripping part makes it easy to grip the projection hole plug 13 and the ejection hole plug 14, and also makes it easy to pull out and install the projection hole plug 13 and the ejection hole plug 14.

[0035] In the embodiment, the inner sides of the projection hole plug 13 and the emission hole plug 14 are provided with chamfers. The chamfers can be right angles or rounded corners, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the projection hole plug 13 and the emission hole plug 14 into the laser projection hole 11 and the laser emission hole 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom of the main housing 1 is provided with a dividing convex line 15 that cooperates with the light path refraction cube 3. The dividing convex line 15 is used to guide and limit the stacking of the bottom layer of light path refraction cubes 3, making it convenient for the bottom layer of light path refraction cubes 3 to be stacked. When the light path refraction cubes 3 are arranged in two rows and two columns, the dividing convex line 15 is cross-shaped; when the light path refraction cubes 3 are arranged in three rows and three columns, the dividing convex line 15 is tic-tac-toe.

[0037] In this embodiment, the light path refraction cube 3 is preferably provided with 27, corresponding to three rows, three columns, and three layers.

[0038] Working process and its principle: such as Figure 6In this embodiment, the directions of N rows, M columns, and L layers correspond to the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, respectively. Taking an 8-point light path refraction cube 3 as an example, the 8 light path refraction cubes 3 are arranged in two rows, two columns, and two layers. When playing with the light path maze teaching toy, a laser pointer 2 is fixed in different laser projection holes 11, and projection beams 4 are fixed in different laser exit holes 12. Projection hole plugs 13 are installed in the remaining laser projection holes 11, and projection beams 4 are installed in the remaining laser exit holes 12. The laser pointer 2 generates laser light, and the projection beams 4 form laser light path exits. By arranging the 8 light path refraction cubes 3, the laser light is emitted from the projection beams 4, thereby achieving interactive reflection of the laser light path. For example, in... Figure 6 In the middle, the laser pointer 2 is set in the first row and first column (facing the left side of the main box 1), and the projection beam 4 is set in the second row and first column (facing the right side of the main box 1). At this time, the laser beam 5 needs to be reflected along the projection beam 51 (making the laser beam outward), the second beam reflection point 52 (making the laser beam to the right), the third beam reflection point 53 (making the laser beam downward), and the fourth beam reflection point 54 (making the laser beam to the right). By rotating and changing the direction and stacking position of several beam refraction cubes 3, the laser beam 5 can be led out from the projection beam 4. After the beam of the projection beam 4 is led out, a clear laser beam can be seen in the projection beam 4.
