Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of educational toys, specifically a third-order icosahedral Rubik's Cube. Background Technology

[0002] The 3x3 20-sided Rubik's Cube is an irregularly shaped cube, generally consisting of axes, center pieces, corner pieces, and inner edge pieces. Its color arrangement can be changed by rotating it; players can solve the cube using formulas.

[0003] The existing 3x3 icosahedron is difficult to align during rotation, easily causing it to jam. Therefore, improvements are needed to the existing 3x3 icosahedron. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a 3x3 icosahedral Rubik's Cube, aiming to solve the problem of difficulty in aligning the cube during rotation, which easily causes jamming, thereby improving the cube's solving speed and player experience. The implementation of this technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A 3x3 20-sided Rubik's Cube includes:

[0006] A ball shaft, and several ball shafts include several magnetic shaft columns;

[0007] Several central blocks, each containing several first magnets;

[0008] Several corner pieces, each containing several second magnets;

[0009] Several inner edge blocks, and several third magnets are placed inside the several inner edge blocks;

[0010] The first magnet and the third magnet attract each other, and the second magnet and the third magnet attract each other.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of central blocks include a first body and a plurality of first cover plates, and a first magnet is fixedly disposed within the first body.

[0012] Preferably, the corner blocks include a second body and a second cover plate, and the second magnet is fixedly disposed inside the second body.

[0013] Preferably, the plurality of inner prism blocks include a third body and a plurality of third cover plates, and a third magnet is fixedly disposed within the third body.

[0014] Preferably, three first cover plates, three second cover plates, and three third cover plates form a surface.

[0015] Preferably, the first magnet and the third magnet attract each other, and the second magnet and the third magnet attract each other.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of fourth magnets are provided on the ball shaft, and a fifth magnet is provided at one end of the magnetic shaft post, and the magnetic shaft post is magnetically connected to the fourth magnets.

[0017] Preferably, the ball axis is provided with a plurality of screw holes for fixing the Rubik's Cube and adjusting the tightness.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0019] This technical solution utilizes a first, second, and third magnet to generate an attractive force when adjacent pieces are close together, guiding each piece to automatically align to the correct position. Through this magnetic attraction, center pieces, corner pieces, and inner edge pieces can quickly align and return to their original positions after rotation, reducing the time players spend adjusting and aligning during the solving process, thus significantly improving solving speed. The magnets also make the cube's rotation smoother and more precise, reducing stuttering and misoperations, and enhancing the overall user experience.

[0020] In this technical solution, the Rubik's Cube is magnetically connected to the fifth magnet on the magnetic axis via the fourth magnet on the ball axis. This connection helps the cube pieces to quickly return to their original positions during rotation, further enhancing the cube's stability and alignment accuracy during rotation.

The attraction between the magnets helps the player quickly reset and align the Rubik's Cube when solving it, improving the solving speed and the player's experience.

[0040] In some implementations, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the central blocks 2 include a first body 21 and a number of first cover plates 22. A first magnet 23 is fixedly disposed inside the first body 21. The central blocks 2 are preferably 12. Specifically, there are preferably 5 first cover plates 22. The shape of the first cover plates 22 is triangular, and the 5 first cover plates 22 of different colors are disposed above the first body 21. There are preferably 5 first magnets 23. The upper opening of the first body 21 is pentagonal, and the 5 first magnets 23 are respectively disposed on the side inside the first body 21.

[0041] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the corner blocks 3 include a second body 31 and a number of second cover plates 32. The second magnets 33 are fixedly disposed inside the second body 31. The corner blocks 3 are preferably 20. Specifically, there are preferably two second cover plates 32. The shape of the second cover plates 32 is triangular, and two second cover plates 32 of different colors are disposed above the second body 31. There are preferably four second magnets 33. The upper opening of the second body 31 is quadrilateral, and the four second magnets 33 are respectively disposed on the side inside the second body 31.

[0042] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of inner prism blocks 4 include a third body 41 and a plurality of third cover plates 42, and a third magnet 43 is fixedly disposed inside the third body 41. The number of inner prism blocks 4 is preferably 60. Specifically, there is preferably one third cover plate 42, which is triangular in shape, and a second cover plate 32 is disposed above the third body 41. There are preferably three third magnets 43, with the upper opening of the third body 41 being triangular, and the three third magnets 43 being disposed on the side of the third body 41.

[0043] In some implementations, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, each face of the Rubik's Cube is an equilateral triangle, and three first cover pieces 22, three second cover pieces 32, and three third cover pieces 42 form a face.

[0044] In some implementations, such as Figure 2-5As shown, the first magnet 23 and the third magnet 43 attract each other, specifically, the side of the center piece 2 is attached to the side of the inner edge piece 4, forming an attraction effect; the second magnet 33 and the third magnet 43 attract each other, that is, the side of the corner piece 3 is attached to the side of the inner edge piece 4, forming an attraction effect; so that no matter how the Rubik's Cube is rotated, the corresponding two pieces are in an attractive state, thereby helping the player to quickly reset and align the Rubik's Cube when solving it, improving the solving speed and the player's experience.

[0045] In some implementations, such as Figure 7-9 As shown, a plurality of fourth magnets 11 are provided on the ball axis 1, and a fifth magnet 121 is provided at one end of the magnetic shaft post 12.

Specifically, there are preferably 20 fourth magnets 11, which are evenly distributed on the ball axis 1 and correspond to the center points of the 20 faces. When the Rubik's Cube is rotated, the fourth magnets 11 and the fifth magnets 121 attract each other, which helps the Rubik's Cube to quickly align and return to its original position.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 7-9 As shown, the ball axis 1 is provided with a number of screw post holes, preferably 12 screw post holes, and a corresponding locking post 14 is provided. The Rubik's Cube is fixed by inserting a screw (not shown) through the locking post 14 into the screw post hole and tightening it; at the same time, the tightness of the Rubik's Cube can be adjusted.

[0048] The working principle of the 3x3 icosahedral Rubik's Cube in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] In this technical solution, the first magnet 23, the second magnet 33, and the third magnet 43 of the 3x3 icosahedral cube generate an attractive force when adjacent pieces are close together, guiding each piece to automatically align to the correct position. Specifically, the five first magnets 23 on the side of the center piece 2 attract the third magnets 43 of the adjacent inner edge piece 4, and the four second magnets 33 on the corner piece 3 attract the third magnets 43 of the inner edge piece 4, forming a cycle so that no matter how the cube is rotated, the corresponding two faces are always in an attractive state. At the same time, the fourth magnet 11 on the ball axis 1 and the fifth magnet 121 on the magnetic axis post 12 are magnetically connected, assisting each piece to quickly return to its position during the cube's rotation, further enhancing the cube's stability and alignment accuracy during rotation.
