Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toys, and in particular to a unit building block pixel and a building block pixel painting. Background Technology

[0002] Among existing building block games, there exists a rather creative new way to play. Instead of building three-dimensional structures, players use a flat board covered with interlocking points, treating each square block as an individual "pixel." By arranging and combining different colors and positions, they create a rich variety of two-dimensional patterns. This method combines the fun of puzzles with the tactile experience of building blocks, and has become popular with many players.

[0003] However, this method of play also has obvious limitations. Currently available building block boards use a standard rectangular grid of interlocking points. Each block must be precisely aligned with a single interlocking point, unlike bricklaying where upper and lower blocks can be offset. In other words, all blocks can only be distributed along the horizontal and vertical grid lines, with no possibility of offset between them. This structural limitation directly results in the following consequence: when curves or diagonal lines appear in the pattern, the edges can only appear as stepped, jagged edges, failing to form truly smooth curves. The final pattern often appears rigid, stiff, and lacks artistic expression. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a unit building block pixel component and a building block pixel painting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a unit building block pixel component, comprising a square portion, the upper end face of the square portion being used as a pixel point of the building block pixel drawing, and the lower end face of the square portion being provided with a first snap-fit ​​protrusion and a second snap-fit ​​protrusion, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion having the same structure as the first snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the two being symmetrical from left to right.

[0006] The first snap-fit ​​protrusion has an inner arc concave surface, an outer arc convex surface, and an end arc surface connected to the inner arc concave surface and the outer arc convex surface. The inner arc concave surface has a first snap-fit ​​point, the end arc surface has a second snap-fit ​​point, and the outer arc convex surface has a third snap-fit ​​point.

[0007] When a unit block pixel engages with a single snap-on protrusion on the block plate, the first snap-on protrusion and the second snap-on protrusion are located on the left and right sides of the snap-on protrusion on the block plate, and the unit block pixel engages with the snap-on protrusion on the block plate at the first snap-on point.

[0008] When the unit block pixel is snapped between the two snap-on protrusions on the block plate, both the first snap-on protrusion and the second snap-on protrusion span between the two snap-on protrusions on the block plate, and the unit block pixel is snapped into the second snap-on point.

[0009] When the unit block pixel is engaged between the four snap-fit ​​protrusions on the block plate, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion and the second snap-fit ​​protrusion are both located between the four snap-fit ​​protrusions on the block plate, and the unit block pixel is engaged with the snap-fit ​​protrusions on the block plate at the third snap-fit ​​point.

[0010] Specifically, the first contact point is located at the junction of the inner concave surface and the end arc surface.

[0011] Specifically, the third contact point is located at the junction of the outer arc convex surface and the end arc surface.

[0012] Specifically, the radius of a single snap protrusion of the block plate is r, the distance between two adjacent snap protrusions of the block plate is d, the center of the unit block pixel is point A, the center of the end arc surface of the unit block pixel is point B, the distance between A and B is (√2)d / 2, and the radius R1 of the end arc surface of the unit block pixel is [(√2)d-2r] / 2.

[0013] Specifically, the radius of the outer arc convex surface of the unit block pixel is R2 = r + 2 * R1 = (√2) * 3d / 2 - 2r.

[0014] The block pixel art includes a block plate and unit block pixel pieces. The surface of the block plate is provided with a number of equally spaced snap-fit ​​protrusions, and a number of unit block pixel pieces serve as pixels, forming a pattern on the block plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The unit building block pixel of this utility model adopts a special structural design, which can be engaged with a single buckle protrusion on the building block plate, or between two buckle protrusions on the building block plate, or between four buckle protrusions on the building block plate. Thus, a smooth arc can be pieced together according to the curved edge of the pattern, and the pieced pattern is more flexible, vivid and artistic. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a unit block pixel component includes a block portion 13. The upper end face of the block portion 13 is used as a pixel point of the block pixel drawing. The lower end face of the block portion 13 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​protrusion 11 and a second snap-fit ​​protrusion 12. The second snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 has the same structure as the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 11 and the two are symmetrical from left to right.

[0025] The first engaging protrusion 11 has an inner concave surface 101, an outer convex surface 103, and an end arc surface 102 connected to the inner concave surface 101 and the outer convex surface 103. The inner concave surface 101 has a first engaging point T1, the end arc surface 102 has a second engaging point T2, and the outer convex surface 103 has a third engaging point T3. The first engaging point T1 is located at the junction of the inner concave surface 101 and the end arc surface 102. The third engaging point T3 is located at the junction of the outer convex surface 103 and the end arc surface 102.

[0026] As attached Figure 4 As shown, when the unit block pixel is engaged with the single snap-on protrusion 21 on the block plate 20, the first snap-on protrusion 11 and the second snap-on protrusion 12 are located on the left and right sides of the snap-on protrusion 21 on the block plate 20, and the unit block pixel is engaged with the snap-on protrusion 21 on the block plate 20 at the first snap-on point T1.

[0027] As attached Figure 5As shown, when the unit block pixel is snapped between the two snapping protrusions 21 on the block plate 20, the first snapping protrusion 11 and the second snapping protrusion 12 are both connected across the two snapping protrusions 21 on the block plate 20, and the unit block pixel is snapped with the snapping protrusions 21 on the block plate 20 at the second snapping point T2.

[0028] As attached Figure 6 As shown, when the unit block pixel is snapped between the four snap-fit ​​protrusions 21 on the block plate 20, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 11 and the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 are both located between the four snap-fit ​​protrusions 21 on the block plate 20, and the unit block pixel is snapped with the snap-fit ​​protrusions 21 on the block plate 20 at the third snap-fit ​​point T3.

[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, the radius of a single snap-on protrusion 21 of the block board 20 is r, and the distance between two adjacent snap-on protrusions 21 of the block board 20 is d. Currently, there are two main specifications for block boards: one with d of 8mm, suitable for children aged 6+, primarily used for precision building; and the other with d of 16mm, suitable for children aged 2-5, with larger blocks that are easier to grasp and prevent accidental swallowing. The center of a unit block pixel is point A, the center of the end arc surface 102 of the unit block pixel is point B, the distance between A and B is (√2)d / 2, and the radius R1 of the end arc surface 102 of the unit block pixel is [(√2)d-2r] / 2. The radius R2 of the outer arc convex surface 103 of the unit block pixel is R2=r+2*R1=(√2)*3d / 2 - 2r.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the block pixel art, based on the aforementioned unit block pixel pieces, includes a block plate 20. The surface of the block plate 20 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced snap-fit ​​protrusions 21, and a plurality of unit block pixel pieces 10 serve as pixels, forming a pattern on the block plate 20.

[0031] The unit building block pixel of this utility model adopts a special structural design. It can be engaged with a single snap-on protrusion 21 on the building block plate 20, or between two snap-on protrusions 21 on the building block plate 20, or between four snap-on protrusions 21 on the building block plate 20. It can be pieced together to form a smooth arc according to the curved edge of the pattern, and the pieced pattern is more flexible, vivid and artistic.

[0032] Since the top surface of each unit block pixel is flat, the pattern created using these unit block pixels on block board 20 can be directly transferred onto paper, further enhancing the fun. Before transferring, edible paint needs to be applied to the pattern composed of unit block pixels using a roller, and then paper is attached to complete the transfer.
