[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem that traditional building blocks usually rely on unidirectional interlocking or planar splicing, making it difficult to achieve multi-angle and multi-directional three-dimensional expansion, which limits the inspiration of innovative thinking. The overall idea is as follows:

[0031] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-directional connectable and expandable building block kit, including a connecting kit. The connecting kit includes a connecting piece 1, a side piece 2, a connecting tube 3, a spacer 5, a bolt 6, a nut 7, a slotted connector 8, a five-way connector 9, a star-shaped connector 11, and a base plate 12. The side piece 2 is located at both ends of the connecting piece 1, and the connecting tube 3 has a hollow structure.

[0032] The isolator 5 is a hollow structure, and the bolts 6 and nuts 7 are threaded together. The cross joint 11 is provided with a plug rod 13 and a socket 14. The cross joint 11 is folded in half and fixed by the plug rod 13 and the socket 14. The edges of the base plate 12 are provided with interlaced clamping plates 15.

[0033] The substrate 12 has uniformly opened connection holes 16. The connecting piece 1 is connected to the connecting tube 3 by inserting the side piece 2 into the connecting tube 3. The straight connector 8 is connected to the connecting tube 3 by inserting into the connecting tube 3. The five-way connector 9 is connected to the connecting tube 3 by inserting into the connecting tube 3.

[0034] Connecting piece 1: Made of aluminum, it is a basic connecting component in the building block kit. It has side pieces 2 at both ends, which connect to the connecting tube 3, allowing for straight or corner splicing. It can also be combined with other connecting pieces 1 via spacers 5, bolts 6, and nuts 7, providing multiple connection methods for building. It is an important basic component for constructing different shapes and structures.

[0035] Side piece 2: Made of aluminum, located at both ends of connecting piece 1, used to insert connecting tube 3 to connect connecting piece 1 and connecting tube 3. Different angle splicing can be completed by bending the angle of side piece 2, which increases the flexibility of connection and enriches the possibilities of building shapes.

[0036] Connecting tube 3: Hollow structure, serving as a bridge for connection. Components such as the side piece 2 of connecting piece 1, the straight connector 8, and the five-way connector 9 can all be inserted into it to achieve connection and combination between different components. It provides an important connection path for the multi-directional connection of building blocks and helps to build complex three-dimensional structures.

[0037] Isolator 5: Hollow structure, used to be inserted between the through holes aligned with the centers of the two connecting pieces 1 when they are combined. Its length is equal to the diameter of the connecting tube 3, which can prevent the connecting pieces 1 from flattening the connecting tube 3, and at the same time provide space for the bolt 6 to be inserted, ensuring the stability of the connection between the connecting pieces 1 and the normal use of the connecting tube 3.

[0038] Bolt 6: Threaded connection with nut 7. When the two connecting pieces 1 are assembled, it is inserted into the isolator 5 and cooperates with nut 7 to firmly fix the two connecting pieces 1 together, ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0039] Nut 7: It works with bolt 6 and is tightened onto bolt 6 inserted into spacer 5 to ensure that the two connecting pieces 1 are tightly connected. It is one of the key components to ensure the stable assembly of connecting pieces 1.

[0040] The straight connector 8: Two connecting tubes 3 can be inserted into both ends, so that the two connecting tubes 3 can be smoothly spliced ​​in length. When placed on the cross connector 11 and folded in conjunction with the cross connector 11, the connection angle can be expanded, providing more diverse connection methods and shape possibilities for construction.

[0041] Five-way connector 9: Connecting tube 3 can be inserted in five directions, allowing the same point to be installed in five directions, greatly increasing the connection directions and possibilities of building blocks at the same position, which helps to build complex and multi-directional expansion three-dimensional structures;

[0042] The cross-shaped connector 11 has a plug rod 13 and a plug hole 14. After being folded in half, it is fixed by the plug rod 13 and the plug hole 14. It can be used with the straight connector 8 to connect the connecting tube 3 to itself, expand the connection angle, provide more different connection angles for building blocks, and enrich the creativity and shape of the building.

[0043] Substrate 12: The edges are staggered with clamping plates 15, which can be used to insert the connecting tube 3 into the clamping plates 15 to achieve connection with the connecting tube 3. The clamping plates 15 can also be used to splice two substrates 12 onto the same connecting tube 3. The substrate 12 has evenly spaced connecting holes 16, which can be used to insert the connecting tube 3 to build a three-dimensional splice. It is a basic platform for building large or complex three-dimensional structures, providing more space expansion possibilities for construction.

[0044] Insert rod 13: Set on the cross connector 11, when the cross connector 11 is folded in half, insert it into the insertion hole 14 on the cross connector 11 to fix the folded cross connector 11, thereby realizing the connection with the straight connector 8 and the connecting tube 3 and expanding the connection angle;

[0045] Socket 14: It is formed on the cross connector 11 and cooperates with the plug rod 13. After the cross connector 11 is folded in half, it is used to insert the plug rod 13 to achieve fixation, and provides structural support for the cross connector 11 to achieve specific connection methods and expand the connection angle.

[0046] Clamping plates 15: They are staggered at the edge of the substrate 12 to hold the connecting pipe 3, so as to connect the substrate 12 and the connecting pipe 3. At the same time, two substrates 12 can be clamped on the same connecting pipe 3 by clamping plates 15, so as to splice the substrates 12 and increase the possibility of combining the structure in plane and space.

[0047] Connection holes 16: evenly distributed on the base plate 12, into which connecting tubes 3 can be inserted, providing connection points for building three-dimensional splicing, further enriching the spatial dimension and creative possibilities of building blocks, enabling builders to create more complex three-dimensional models;

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] When in use, the side piece 2 at the side end of the connecting piece 1 can be directly inserted into the connecting tube 3 to complete a straight connection. Alternatively, the side piece 2 at the side end of the connecting piece 1 can be bent to any angle before being inserted into the connecting tube 3 to complete a corner splice. When combining two connecting pieces 1, align the center through holes of the two connecting pieces 1, then insert the spacer 5 into the through hole between the two connecting pieces 1, then insert the bolt 6 into the spacer 5, and finally screw the nut 7 onto the bolt 6 to complete the assembly. The length of the spacer 5 is equal to the diameter of the connecting tube 3. When the side piece 2 is inserted into the connecting tube 3, it prevents the connecting piece 1 from flattening the connecting tube 3. Similarly, the through hole on the side piece 2 can be aligned with the center through hole of the connecting piece 1 for connection. The five-way connector 9 can be inserted in five directions for connection. The tube 3 allows for installation of connecting tubes 3 in five directions from the same point. By inserting both ends of the flat connector 8 into the two connecting tubes 3, the two connecting tubes 3 can be smoothly spliced ​​in length. If the flat connector 8 is placed on the star connector 11 and then the star connector 11 is folded in half, the insert rod 13 can be inserted into the insertion hole 14, thus connecting the connecting tube 3 with the star connector 11 to expand the connection angle. The connecting tube 3 can be inserted into the clamping plate 15 on the side of the substrate 12 to complete the connection between the connecting tube 3 and the substrate 12. Since the clamping plates 15 are arranged in an alternating manner, two substrates 12 can be clamped onto the same connecting tube 3 through the clamping plates 15 to achieve the effect of splicing the two substrates 12. The connecting hole 16 opened on the substrate 12 can be used to insert the connecting tube 3 to construct a three-dimensional splicing.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
