[0067] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0068] This utility model provides a jointed building block. Figures 1 to 7As shown, the device includes a first component 1, a second component 2, and a third component 3. The first component 1 is equipped with a first connecting part 11. The inner end of the second component 2 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting part 11, allowing the outer end to rotate around the inner end within an angle range of no more than 180°, thereby enabling the second component 2 to switch between a first posture and a second posture. The third component 3 has a second connecting part 31, which is rotatably mounted on the outer end of the second component 2. When the third component 3 rotates relative to the first component 1, it can drive the second component 2 to complete the switch between the first posture and the second posture. The maximum angle at which the third component 3 can rotate relative to the second component 2 is no less than 180°. The third component 3 can partially or completely cover the second component 2 and part of the first component 1, achieving the effect of concealing imperfections. This invention adds a second component 2 between the first component 1 and the third component 3 to form a rotating joint, allowing for a large range of rotation angles between adjacent components. This enables the joint block to perform movements with a higher degree of joint mobility than ordinary people, overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art. The structure is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to manufacture. The overall volume of the structure can also be controlled, making it suitable for both small-volume models and large-volume characters, with good versatility.
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the first accessory 1 includes a first body 12 and a third connecting part 13. The first body 12 has a plate-like structure. The first connecting part 11 is disposed on the first body 12. Preferably, two first connecting parts 11 are disposed on the first body 12. The two first connecting parts 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first body 12. The third connecting part 13 is disposed between the two first connecting parts 11.
[0070] Furthermore, the third connecting part 13 is circumferentially equipped with a reinforcing rib 14, making the third connecting part 13 more secure on the first body 12. The side of the reinforcing rib 14 is connected to the third connecting part 13, and the bottom of the reinforcing rib 14 is arranged on the top of the first body 12. For ease of assembly, the first connecting part 11 can be configured as a male or female connector, and the third connecting part 13 can also be configured as a male or female connector. In this utility model, the axes of the first connecting part 11 and the third connecting part 13 are preferably parallel.
[0071] It should be noted that, in addition to its sturdiness, the reinforcing rib 14 also limits the rotation of the second component 2, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0072] like Figure 1As shown, the second accessory 2 includes a second body 23, with a first splicing hole 21 and a second splicing hole 22 at the inner and outer ends, respectively. Both the first splicing hole 21 and the second splicing hole 22 are located at both ends of the second body 23. The second body 23 is preferably an elongated oval structure when viewed from above. The first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 31 are both splicing shafts. In practical applications, the first splicing hole 21 and the second splicing hole 22 can be designed to be different in size or the same in size. The specific design can be flexibly selected according to the actual structure.
[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the third accessory 3 includes a third body 33. When the second accessory 2 is in a first posture or a second posture, the third body 33 can partially or completely cover the second accessory 2. Specifically, when the second accessory 2 is in the first posture, such as... Figure 8 As shown in (1), the third body 33 can partially cover the second accessory 2; when the second accessory 2 is in the second posture, as Figure 8 As shown in (7), the third body 33 can completely cover the second accessory 2. The third body 33 is a semi-enclosed plate structure. The second connecting part 31 is arranged on the inner side of the third body 33. When the building blocks are assembled into a human-shaped doll, the third body 33 can cover the second accessory 2 and the first connecting part 11 on the side, top, front and back of the doll, so that the user cannot see the internal rotating connection structure when observing from the outside, which greatly enhances the overall aesthetics of the toy and increases the fun of the toy.
[0074] In practical applications, both the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 31 are splicing shafts. The second connecting part 31 is spliced onto the second splicing hole 22, and the first connecting part 11 is spliced onto the first splicing hole 21.
[0075] Furthermore, the third body 33 is provided with a fourth connecting part 32, which is used to connect the fourth accessory 4. The fourth connecting part 32 is either a male or a female connector. Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the fourth accessory 4 and the third accessory 3 are preferably connected by a male-female connector structure.
[0076] In this embodiment, the fourth accessory 4 is an arm, the third accessory 3 forms a shoulder, and the first body 12 is also provided with a fifth connecting part 15. The third connecting part 13 is disposed on the top of the first body 12, and the fifth connecting part 15 is disposed on the bottom of the first body 12. The third connecting part 13 can be used to connect the neck, and the fifth connecting part 15 is used to connect the abdomen of the body. The fifth connecting part 15 adopts a male or female head.
[0077] like Figure 1As shown, the rotation range of the third body 33 is limited by the first body 12 of the first accessory 1. The third body 33 includes a top plate 331 and an arc plate 332 extending downward along the outer edge of the top plate 331. Preferably, the top plate 331 and the arc plate 332 are integrally formed. The second connecting part 31 is disposed at the lower part of the top plate 331.
[0078] This utility model also provides a toy, including articulated building blocks. The toy can be a humanoid doll. By using articulated building blocks, it can achieve movements with a high degree of joint mobility, simulate movements of special shapes, and enhance the fun of the toy.
[0079] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0080] like Figure 8 As shown in (1), the second component 2 is in the first posture. When the fourth component 4 moves, it can drive the second component 2 to rotate around the axis of the first connecting part 11. During the rotation, the fourth component 4 can adjust its own posture. When the rotation angle of the second component 2 reaches 180°, the second component 2 is in the second posture, as shown in (1). Figure 8 As shown in (7).
