Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to 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.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a conveying structure for building blocks is provided, including: a puzzle support platform 1 and a building block conveying unit 2. The puzzle support platform 1; the building block conveying unit 2, having several groups arranged along the circumference of the puzzle support platform 1, is used to store and orderly transport building blocks to the side of the puzzle support platform 1 for assembly.

[0031] This utility model provides a block conveying structure. By setting up block conveying units 2, it can automatically transport the required blocks to a convenient position for assembly, significantly shortening the time spent searching for specific blocks and improving puzzle-solving efficiency. Several sets of block conveying units 2 are distributed circumferentially around the puzzle-carrying platform 1, achieving a rational plan for the block conveying units 2, making the entire structure compact and efficient. On the one hand, it saves space and is suitable for use in different spatial conditions; on the other hand, it ensures sufficient storage capacity to meet the needs of puzzles of different sizes. In addition, blocks of different types or colors can be placed in different block conveying units 2, realizing the classified storage of blocks. This facilitates quick retrieval of the required blocks, reduces the time spent searching for blocks, enables smoother puzzle-solving operations, and thus improves the puzzle-solving effect and user experience.

[0032] In this embodiment, the block conveying unit 2 is provided in at least twelve groups, which are distributed around the periphery of the puzzle carrying platform 1. The twelve groups of block conveying units 2 greatly expand the block storage capacity, improve the continuity of the puzzle, and thus improve the overall puzzle efficiency.

[0033] Preferably, the block conveying unit 2 includes block conveying drive sources arranged circumferentially around the periphery of the puzzle support platform 1, with the output block ends of the drive sources extending along the side of the puzzle support platform 1. At least two sets of block conveying drive sources have their output block ends symmetrically arranged about the puzzle support platform 1, and the symmetrically arranged output block ends are adjacent to each other. The symmetrical and adjacent output block ends allow for easy acquisition of the required blocks regardless of which side the puzzle is being performed on. Compared to a single-sided output end arrangement, it eliminates the need for frequent changes in operating position, allowing for the acquisition of different types of blocks in a shorter time, effectively improving operational convenience and puzzle-solving efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, the block conveying drive source consists of a vibratory feeder, which is circumferentially arranged around the periphery of the puzzle-carrying platform 1. The interior of the vibratory feeder is defined as the block storage cavity. The vibratory feeder can automatically sort and directionally convey the blocks placed in its internal block storage cavity using its own vibration characteristics. This eliminates the need for complex manual operation and additional sorting equipment, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of block conveying and enabling the rapid acquisition of the required blocks for puzzle assembly.

[0035] Specifically, a blocking component 3 is connected between the block conveying drive source and the puzzle support platform 1. The blocking component 3 is used to temporarily store blocks in a predetermined orientation. During the puzzle-solving process, blocks may not be continuously retrieved. When the block conveying drive source continuously outputs blocks, the blocking component 3 can temporarily store the blocks, preventing them from piling up or becoming disordered. During the assembly of the blocks, the blocking component 3 can also supply blocks to the puzzle support platform 1 at an appropriate rhythm, ensuring a smoother and more orderly process for retrieving blocks, effectively improving the continuity and efficiency of the puzzle-solving operation.

[0036] Preferably, the material-blocking component 3 includes a conveyor frame 31, a positioning platform 32, and a groove 33. The conveyor frame 31 is positioned on the side of the puzzle-carrying platform 1, the positioning platform 32 is located on the top surface of the conveyor frame 31, and the groove 33 is formed in the positioning platform 32. The open end of the groove 33 connects to the output block end of the conveying drive source, and the closed end of the groove 33 faces the puzzle-carrying platform 1. The blocks in the block storage cavity are orderly conveyed to the material-blocking component 3 along the conveying track of the vibratory feeder. The groove 33 provides a precise guiding path for the block conveying. Its open end is seamlessly connected to the output end of the conveying drive source, which allows the blocks from the vibratory feeder conveying track to enter the groove 33 accurately. The closed end faces the puzzle support platform 1, ensuring that the blocks are stably stored and directionally conveyed in the groove 33. This effectively avoids the blocks from shifting, rolling or scattering during the conveying process, greatly improving the accuracy of the blocks being conveyed to the puzzle support platform 1. This provides convenience for the assembly of blocks and achieves a more efficient acquisition of blocks for assembly.

[0037] Furthermore, adjustable holes 34 can be provided at the bottom of the conveyor frame 31, allowing the conveyor frame 31 to flexibly adjust its connection position and angle with the puzzle support platform 1. In practical use, by selecting different hole positions for installation according to the specific size and shape of the puzzle support platform 1, the optimal fit between the conveyor frame 31 and the puzzle support platform 1 can be achieved, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the structure.

[0038] Preferably, the top surface of the puzzle support platform 1 is provided with positioning holes 4, which are linearly and divergingly distributed along the center of the puzzle support platform 1 on the top surface. The linearly diverging positioning holes 4 provide a precise positional reference for the flat plate on which the building blocks are loaded, increasing the stability when the building blocks are assembled.

[0039] Preferably, the assembly also includes a housing 5, with the puzzle support platform 1 and the block conveying unit 2 installed inside the housing 5. The housing 5 provides reliable physical protection for the puzzle support platform 1 and the block conveying unit 2. During daily use, handling, or storage, it effectively prevents damage to these components caused by accidental collisions, scratches, drops, etc., reducing component wear and the risk of failure, extending the overall service life of the structure, reducing maintenance and replacement costs, and providing users with a more durable and stable puzzle-solving experience.

[0040] Specifically, the side of the housing 5 is provided as an exhibition opening 6, which is located relative to the top of the puzzle support platform 1 and the block conveying unit 2. The setting of the exhibition opening 6 allows the operation process of the puzzle support platform 1 and the block conveying unit 2 to be displayed intuitively, allowing the audience to see the puzzle assembly process and the block conveying principle more clearly, greatly improving the display effect and viewing experience.

[0041] Preferably, the housing 5 includes a base frame 51, a base plate 52, and a guardrail 53. The base frame 51 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The base plate 52 is symmetrically laid inside the base frame 51 to facilitate the placement of the vibratory feeders on both sides. The jigsaw puzzle support platform 1 is located in the middle. The guardrail 53 is positioned at the upper end of the base frame 51, surrounding the jigsaw puzzle support platform 1 and the vibratory feeders. The structure of the base frame 51, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, lowers the center of gravity of the housing 5, allowing it to better resist external interference during placement and use, reducing the risk of shaking and tipping caused by collisions, vibrations, or uneven ground, and providing a stable and reliable operating environment for the jigsaw puzzle support platform 1 and the vibratory feeders inside. The guardrail 53, positioned at the upper end of the base frame 51, tightly surrounds the jigsaw puzzle support platform 1 and the vibratory feeders, forming an effective protective barrier, reminding users to pay attention to the equipment boundaries and avoiding damage to the equipment due to misoperation.

[0042] Furthermore, the exhibition opening 6 of the housing 5 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor component 7, which protects the internal structure from external interference. The photoelectric sensor component 7 separates the interior of the housing 5 from the outside world without affecting the exhibition effect. It can detect whether any object approaches or enters the exhibition area. Once an abnormality is detected, corresponding measures can be taken in a timely manner, such as issuing an alarm or suspending the operation of the block conveying unit 2, thereby effectively protecting the internal puzzle-carrying platform 1 and the block conveying unit 2 from accidental external contact, interference, or damage, ensuring their normal and stable operation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensing component 7 can be a safety light curtain, and the specific model can be selected according to the size of the exhibition opening 6.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the housing 5 is equipped with a movable component 8 to move the puzzle support platform 1 and the block transport unit 2. The presence of the movable component 8 frees the structure from the limitation of a fixed position, allowing it to be used in different locations according to different activity scenarios, which greatly improves the flexibility of the structure.

[0045] Preferably, the movable component 8 includes a movable wheel 9 and a foot pad 10. The movable wheel 9 is movably disposed at the bottom of the housing 5 relative to the housing 5. The foot pad 10 is disposed to the side of the movable wheel 9. A connecting rod 11 connects the foot pad 10 and the movable wheel 9. The foot pad 10 is movably positioned on the connecting rod 11 in a direction perpendicular to the housing 5, and the position of the connecting rod 11 can be positioned by rotating a screw. When it is necessary to move the structure, the foot pad 10 is adjusted upward so that the movable wheel 9 is fully in contact with the ground, at which point the structure can be easily pushed. When the structure reaches the designated position for use, the foot pad 10 is adjusted downward so that it contacts the ground and is fixed, so that the weight of the structure is mainly borne by the foot pad 10, and the movable wheel 9 is off the ground or only plays an auxiliary support role, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the structure and avoiding the impact of structure movement on operation during the puzzle-solving process.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
