Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to toy components, and more particularly to a novel toy building block and building block sculpture. Background Technology

[0002] The disadvantages of existing toy building blocks include:

[0003] 1. Common building block assembly methods are limited and lack stability. Common building block assembly methods are relatively simple, typically involving a protrusion and a recess on each block. Different blocks are assembled into specific shapes by interlocking the protrusion and recess. However, because there is only one way to connect the blocks, there are many limitations when assembling them, making many shapes difficult or impossible to create. Furthermore, horizontally joined blocks are not securely connected and are prone to detaching.

[0004] 2. Limited shape of the building blocks, resulting in poor assembly effects. Most common building blocks are rectangular, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of flexible creation when assembling three-dimensional block sculptures. The assembled block sculptures are prone to problems such as disproportionate shapes and deformities, affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0005] 3. The defects of cascading building blocks are obvious. Common cascading building blocks typically have protrusions and slots on all four sides. Horizontally, assembling them using these protrusions and slots is difficult, and the assembled blocks are prone to vertical misalignment, resulting in weak connections and easy detachment. Furthermore, during assembly, the protrusions and slots can easily scratch fingers, and the overall appearance of the assembled blocks is rough and lacks aesthetic appeal.

[0006] 4. Common building block puzzles have limitations. Building puzzles using common building blocks is complex and costly. Not only do they require a base plate to hold the blocks in place, but they also need various shapes of blocks to form the frame, increasing both the difficulty and cost.

[0007] 5. There are limitations to assembling three-dimensional block sculptures using common building blocks. Using common building blocks to assemble three-dimensional block sculptures also presents many inconveniences. It requires prior design using professional design software, followed by strict adherence to the blueprints, and often necessitates the use of numerous other shaped building blocks. This significantly limits creative flexibility, resulting in complex assembly, a high barrier to entry, and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the technical problems of existing building block technologies, such as limited assembly methods, poor connection stability, restricted block shape, unsatisfactory assembly effects, obvious defects in connected building blocks, and limitations in assembling common building block puzzles and three-dimensional building block sculptures, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A novel toy building block includes a body, the top of which has a protrusion and the bottom of which has a recess, the recess and the protrusion being sized to match each other and can be interlocked; at least one side of the body has a through hole, the through hole having a protrusion and a locking position, the locking position and the protrusion being interlocked.

[0010] Preferably, the through hole is circular, and the through hole is provided with two protrusions, the protrusions being in the shape of a 1 / 4 circular arc pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the through hole is circular, and the through hole is provided with three protrusions, the protrusions being in the shape of a 1 / 6 circular arc pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the through hole is square or rectangular, and the through hole is provided with two or more protrusions, the protrusions being cuboid in shape.

[0013] Preferably, the bump can also be L-shaped.

[0014] Preferably, the bumps and locking positions are evenly distributed on the through holes.

[0015] Preferably, the shape of the body can be any one of the following: cube, cuboid, rectangular frustum, truncated cone, cylinder, triangular prism, regular hexagonal prism, regular tetrahedron, 1 / 8 sphere, 1 / 4 sphere, 1 / 2 sphere, or sphere.

[0016] This utility model also provides the following technical solutions:

[0017] A building block sculpture is composed of several novel toy building blocks as described above. The building block sculpture can be a plate-shaped building block puzzle or a three-dimensional building block sculpture composed of interlocking blocks.

[0018] Preferably, the block sculpture further includes several auxiliary fixing blocks, the bottom of which is provided with a recess that can be interlocked with the protrusion, and the auxiliary fixing blocks are installed on the plate-shaped block puzzle or three-dimensional block sculpture through the recess.

[0019] Preferably, the bottom of the auxiliary fixing block has at least two recesses.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. Multiple connection methods, high degree of assembly freedom. The building blocks of this utility model have two connection methods: the interlocking of protrusions and recesses, and the interlocking of protrusions and locking slots. This gives the building blocks more freedom when assembling, allowing assembly from both horizontal and vertical directions. This greatly enriches the assembly methods, ensuring consistency between horizontal and vertical assembly, making it easier to assemble, and ensuring a firm connection that is not easy to loosen, does not shift vertically, has a smooth appearance, does not hurt hands, provides a better building experience and higher artistic appreciation, while also increasing the fun and attractiveness of the building blocks. Moreover, as an educational toy, it also has a better intellectual development effect.

[0022] 2. Cube-shaped body design for flexible and efficient assembly. The building block body of this utility model is a cube. When assembling panel-shaped building block puzzles or three-dimensional building block sculptures, this shape can meet the needs of flexible creation. The assembled building block puzzles or sculptures have normal proportions and harmonious appearance, and users can quickly assemble building block puzzles or sculptures with any pattern.

[0023] 3. Innovative Sculpture Model: Secure and Easy to Operate. This utility model also provides a completely new sculpture creation model. Users can freely disassemble and assemble building blocks into panel-shaped puzzles or three-dimensional block sculptures, while ensuring the integrity of the puzzles or sculptures. This model features easy-to-operate block assembly, secure connections, resistance to loosening, a smooth appearance, and good aesthetic appeal. Attached Figure Description

[0050] To address the technical problems of existing building block technologies, such as limited assembly methods, poor connection stability, restricted block shape, unsatisfactory assembly effects, obvious defects in connected building blocks, and limitations in assembling common building block puzzles and three-dimensional building block sculptures, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0051] Example 1,

[0052] like Figure 1-20As shown, a novel toy building block includes a body with a protrusion on the top and a recess on the bottom.
