Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a multi-purpose magnetic module. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic toys, a popular category combining educational value and entertainment, are widely used in early childhood education, creative building, and parent-child interaction scenarios due to their convenient magnetic assembly and flexible shapes. The market continues to expand, with magnetic building blocks dominating the market. Existing magnetic toys typically consist of modules of various specific geometric shapes, such as squares, triangles, and arcs. These modules are assembled through the attraction of magnets within them, allowing for the creation of fixed shapes such as castles, vehicles, and animals.

[0003] However, the aforementioned magnetic toys suffer from technical defects such as limited functionality and fixed shapes: the structural design of most magnetic modules is strongly bound to their preset functions, and a single module can only serve as a component of a specific shape. For example, an arc-shaped module is only used to construct curved structures, and a long strip module is only used to assemble frames. They lack the versatility to independently achieve multi-scenario applications, which limits the expansion of playability and makes it difficult to fully stimulate users' creativity. At the same time, the form expression of existing magnetic toys is highly dependent on the combination of modules. A single module cannot achieve functional transformation through simple adjustments. For example, the same module cannot be used as a "chair" in an architectural structure, nor as a "leaf" or "hair" in a decorative element, nor can it be used directly as different figurative structures such as octopus tentacles or flames. This makes the toys less fun and less reusable, and they easily lose their appeal after long-term use.

[0004] While some existing technologies have achieved omnidirectional adsorption of modules by optimizing magnet layout or increased splicing diversity by adding various module shapes, none of them have solved the core problem of the single module's limited functionality. They have failed to allow a single module to break free from the constraints of its preset function and achieve "one shape, multiple uses" scenario adaptation. Existing magnetic modules are still unable to escape the limitation of single function, and the application scenarios of a single module are strictly limited, making it difficult to achieve flexible transformation of form. Consequently, they cannot meet users' needs for toys with multifunctionality, high reusability, and strong creativity.

[0005] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application embodiment provides a multi-purpose magnetic module, including: a base plate 1, a cover shell 2, and multiple magnetic components 3. Multiple strips 11 are arranged on one side of the base plate 1 along its thickness direction. Each strip 11 extends along the thickness direction of the base plate 1. At least the strips 11 located at the corners of the base plate 1 have the same extension length along the thickness direction. The ends of the strips 11 located at each corner of the base plate 1 have supporting surfaces 1111, and each supporting surface 1111 is located in the same plane. The ends of the strips 11 located along the edge of the base plate 1 are bent outwards from the base plate 1. At least some of the strips 11 on the base plate 1 have different extension lengths. The design of the corner strips 111 of the base plate 1 with consistent extension length and coplanar support surfaces 1111 ensures the stable placement of the module. The structure of the edge strips 11 with outward bending at the ends and different extension lengths of some strips 11 forms a staggered and naturally outward-spreading adaptive shape. This shape can be flexibly matched with a variety of figurative expressions: the curved and varying lengths of the strips 11 can directly simulate the natural and graceful shape of "grass" and "leaves", or the fluffy and layered feel of "hair". The overall outward-protruding curved structure can serve as the supporting outline of a "chair", and can also present the dynamic posture of "flame" through shape association. It can also use the extension and curvature of the strips 11 to figuratively represent the soft shape of "octopus tentacles". The cover shell 2 has a bottom wall 21, a peripheral side wall 22, and a partition 23. The peripheral side wall 22 is disposed at the edge of the bottom wall 21, and the partition 23 is located inside the peripheral side wall 22 and connects to the bottom wall 21 and the peripheral side wall 22. The partition 23, the bottom wall 21, and the peripheral side wall 22 enclose a magnet slot and a groove connecting the magnet slot. The bottom plate 1 is connected to the cover shell 2 and closes the groove of each magnet slot. Each magnetic component 3 is respectively accommodated in the corresponding magnet slot. The multi-purpose magnetic module of this application can flexibly achieve diverse functions and varied shapes without complex combinations. It can be used as a variety of figurative forms such as grass, chairs, flames, hair, leaves, and octopus tentacles. It can also be adapted to different expression needs through color matching, effectively solving the problems of limited application scenarios and low reusability of existing products, significantly improving the creative expansion and fun of toys, and fully stimulating the creativity of users.

[0047] Each of the strip bodies 11 includes multiple corner strip bodies 111 and several middle strip bodies 112. Each corner strip body 111 is located on a corresponding corner of the base plate 1, and each middle strip body 112 is located between the corner strip bodies 111. Along the thickness direction of the base plate 1, the extension length of the corner strip bodies 111 is greater than the extension length of the middle strip bodies 112. This ensures the coplanarity of the corner support surfaces 1111 for stable placement, and the staggered structure formed by the difference in length gives the multi-purpose magnetic module of this application more possibilities for shape adaptation, helping it to flexibly transform into different figurative structures and further strengthening the functional advantage of "multi-purpose".

[0048] In one possible implementation, each of the strips 11 further includes a reinforcing strip 113, which is located at the corner of the base plate 1 and connected to the base plate 1. The peripheral sidewalls 22 of each reinforcing strip 113 are connected to the corresponding corner strip 111. The reinforcing strip 113 enhances the connection strength between the corner strip 111 and the base plate 1 and improves the overall structural stability, ensuring structural reliability during repeated assembly and shape transformation of the module. It also does not affect the coplanarity of the corner support surfaces 1111 or the "one shape, multiple uses" adaptability brought by the staggered structure of the strips 11, further improving the module's durability and user experience.

[0049] The reinforcing strip 113 is integrally formed with the corner strip 111 at one end near the base plate 1, and separates from the corresponding corner strip 111 at the other end away from the base plate 1. By integrally forming the reinforcing strip 113 with the corner strip 111 at one end near the base plate 1, the structural strength and stability of the connection between the two are greatly improved, ensuring the durability of the module during repeated splicing and shape transformation. At the same time, the separation of the reinforcing strip 113 from the corner strip 111 at the other end avoids interference with the staggered structure of the strip 11, and does not affect the coplanarity of the corner support surface 1111 and the module's "one shape, multiple uses" shape adaptability. While strengthening structural reliability, the core functional advantages are fully preserved.

[0050] The cross-section of the strip 11 gradually decreases from its root to its end, which not only enriches the module's morphological adaptation dimensions through a gradient structure, but also makes it easier to simulate the natural forms of figurative structures such as leaves, flames, and octopus tentacles, strengthening the functional advantage of "one form, multiple uses". At the same time, it reduces the risk of interference during module splicing, improves the convenience of splicing operations, and does not affect the coplanarity of the corner support surfaces 1111 or the overall structural stability, thus taking into account both functional diversity and practicality.

[0051] In one possible implementation, each of the strips 11 has a cavity, and the base plate 1 has an opening communicating with the cavity. While ensuring that the staggered structure, bending shape, and supporting stability of the strips 11 are not affected, the overall weight of the module is effectively reduced, and ease of use is improved.

[0052] In one possible implementation, a welding rib 12 is provided on the base plate 1. When the cover shell 2 and the base plate 1 are connected, the welding rib 12 fits against the thickness end face of the partition rib 23 on the cover shell 2 and is welded and fixed to the partition rib 23 by ultrasonic welding equipment. This achieves precise positioning and firm connection between the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2, ensuring the structural stability and sealing of the module during repeated splicing and shape transformation. It also avoids interference of the welding structure with the staggered shape of the strip body 11, the coplanarity of the support surface 1111, and the assembly of the magnetic component 3. While strengthening the reliability of the connection, it fully retains the core functional advantage of the module's "one shape, multiple uses". Moreover, the ultrasonic welding process is efficient and convenient, which is conducive to mass production.

[0053] The welding rib 12 includes a main rib 121 and thin ribs 122 disposed on the main rib 121. The thin ribs 122 are located on the top end face of the main rib 121. The cross-section of the thin ribs 122 is triangular. The tip of the thin ribs 122 contacts the thickness end face of the partition rib 23 and is welded and fixed to the partition rib 23 by ultrasonic welding equipment. During welding, the tip of the triangular thin rib 122 makes precise contact with the thickness end face of the partition rib 23. This not only enhances the energy concentration of ultrasonic welding through the tip energy focusing effect, achieving a firm weld between the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2, ensuring the stability and sealing of the module structure, but also enables rapid positioning during assembly by utilizing the precise contact of the thin ribs 122, improving assembly efficiency.

[0054] In one possible implementation, a sleeve 13 is provided in the middle of the base plate 1. When the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2 are connected, the open end of the sleeve 13 contacts the bottom wall 21 of the cover shell 2. This provides an additional precise positioning point for the assembly of the two, further improving the coaxiality and assembly accuracy of the splicing. It also enhances the connection stability between the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2 through the middle support, preventing deformation and loosening of the module during use.

[0055] The base plate 1 is provided with multiple convex shafts 14, each with a pointed end 141. The bottom wall 21 of the cover shell 2 is provided with multiple inserts 211. When the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2 are connected, the convex shafts 14 are inserted into the inserts 211. The insertion structure of the convex shafts 14 and the inserts 211 provides pre-fixed support for the base plate 1 and the cover shell 2, which, together with subsequent welding fixation, further enhances the overall connection stability. Moreover, this structure does not interfere with the staggered shape of the strip 11, the coplanarity of the support surface 1111, or the assembly of the magnetic component 3. At the same time, the pointed end 141 significantly reduces the difficulty of aligning the convex shafts 14 and the inserts 211, enabling rapid and accurate positioning and insertion assembly, thus improving the module assembly efficiency.

[0056] The preferred embodiments disclosed above are merely illustrative of this application. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the application to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize this application. This application is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
