Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toy technology, and in particular to a modular magnetic assembly and teaching play component. Background Technology

[0002] Building blocks are usually cubic wooden or plastic solid toys, typically decorated with letters or pictures on each surface, allowing for different arrangements or building activities. Building blocks come in various styles, can develop children's intelligence, and can be assembled into houses, various animals, etc.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream building blocks rely on mechanical interlocking principles for modular assembly, but this technology has significant limitations. Aside from basic stackable blocks, most products on the market use traditional physical connection methods such as slots or snap-fit ​​joints. These rigid structures reveal several constraints in practice: First, the contact surfaces between modules often require precise alignment, demanding significant pressure from children to assemble them, creating a barrier for young users whose hand strength is not yet fully developed. Second, mechanical interlocking points are prone to wear and tear from frequent disassembly and assembly, often leading to loose connections and structural fragility after long-term use, severely impacting the durability and complexity of the finished product. Third, the standardized interfaces of existing modules generally use a single-plane or axial docking mode, greatly limiting the expansion of combination dimensions and making it difficult to achieve advanced structural requirements such as multi-directional extension, curved surfaces, or dynamic linkages. This technological bottleneck not only inhibits the possibility of innovative assembly forms but also limits the educational value of building blocks to two-dimensional planar construction, failing to fully stimulate spatial imagination and engineering thinking, thus creating a barrier to the development of both practicality and fun in products.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a modular magnetic assembly educational toy component. Utility Model Content

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular magnetic assembly educational toy component, including a block frame 1. The block frame 1 has an equal number of mounting slots 2 on all four sides. Two fasteners 3 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the interior of each mounting slot 2. It should be noted that the mounting slots 2 are U-shaped, and the fasteners 3 are L-shaped, with the two fasteners 3 fitting perfectly into the mounting slots 2 after assembly. This design of the U-shaped mounting slots 2 and L-shaped fasteners 3 makes the overall structure more compact and stable, effectively preventing misalignment during assembly.

[0026] Two receiving plates 4 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of each of the two fasteners 3. The receiving plates 4 on the two fasteners 3 are correspondingly arranged, and each receiving plate 4 has a snap-fit ​​groove 5, in which a magnetic sheet is snapped and installed. A first groove 11 is formed on the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 2 corresponding to the position of the receiving plate 4. The double receiving plate 4 structure enhances the fixing strength of the magnetic sheet and prevents the magnetic sheet from falling off during use. The precise size design of the snap-fit ​​groove 5 ensures that the magnetic sheet will not wobble after installation, ensuring the stability of the magnetic attraction. The first groove 11 is formed on the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 2 corresponding to the position of the receiving plate 4. This groove design provides sufficient installation space for the receiving plate 4 and avoids assembly interference.

[0027] Limiting components are provided on both sides of the inner wall of fastener 3. The limiting components include a sleeve 6 and a rod 7, which are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of fastener 3. The sleeve 6 on one side of fastener 3 engages with the rod 7 on the other side of fastener 3. Relief holes 8 are provided on both sides of the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 2, and these two relief holes 8 engage with the sleeves 6 on both sides. This design allows fastener 3 to be installed quickly and accurately, improving assembly efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention: a limiting groove 9 is formed on one side of the inner wall of the fastener 3, and a wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 10 is fixedly connected to the other side of the inner wall of the fastener 3. The limiting groove 9 on one side of the fastener 3 and the wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 10 on the other side of the fastener 3 slide and snap-fit ​​together. Furthermore, a second groove 12 is formed on the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 2 at the positions corresponding to the limiting groove 9 and the wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 10. The second groove 12 provides sufficient movement space for the limiting component, ensuring a smooth snap-fit ​​process.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, all corners of the fastener 3 are rounded. This enhances the product's aesthetic appearance and, more importantly, eliminates sharp edges, significantly improving safety for children.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In use, first, precisely embed the magnetic piece into the snap-fit ​​groove 5 inside the fastener 3, ensuring that the magnetic piece is completely in contact with the receiving plate 4. Then, smoothly push the assembled fastener 3 along the bottom track of the mounting groove 2, while adjusting the orientation of the fastener 3 so that its sleeve 6 and insertion rod 7 are accurately aligned with the two clearance holes 8 on the bottom side of the mounting groove 2, and apply appropriate pressure to complete the insertion. Next, take the second fastener 3 and fasten it to the upper side of the mounting groove 2 in a mirror manner. During operation, the symmetry of the upper and lower fasteners 3 must be maintained. By fine adjustment, the sleeve 6 of the upper fastener 3 and the insertion rod 7 of the lower fastener 3 are perpendicularly inserted, while ensuring that the two sets of wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​plates 10 are respectively snapped into the corresponding limiting grooves 9. At this time, a clear "click" locking sound will be heard, indicating that the two fasteners 3 have been firmly limited in the mounting groove 2, and the magnetic piece is stably fixed by the clamping structure formed by the upper and lower snap-fit ​​grooves 5.

[0032] Each side of the building block frame 1 uses a standardized magnetic tile layout, and all four sides are equipped with high-strength neodymium magnet modules, supporting 360° omnidirectional magnetic assembly. During actual assembly, adjacent frames can automatically correct their positions through magnetic force, achieving rapid multi-angle connections in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal directions. Its innovative universal magnetic structure supports unlimited combination possibilities, allowing for the construction of both planar shapes and three-dimensional structures. The magnetic connection method significantly reduces assembly resistance, making it easy even for children to assemble and disassemble complex shapes, greatly enhancing entertainment and creativity.

[0033] During maintenance, if a specific magnetic sheet is found to have weakened magnetic force or surface damage, the faulty magnetic sheet can be removed and replaced individually simply by removing the corresponding fastener 3. This modular design avoids the cumbersome traditional whole-system disassembly, and the surrounding modules maintain their integrity during maintenance. All magnetic sheets use uniform specifications, improving maintenance efficiency and ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the splicing system.

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
