Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Building blocks can be traced back to ancient Chinese and ancient Egyptian civilizations. Originally used for construction and education, they can help children learn basic knowledge such as geometric shapes, colors, numbers, and letters, understand the shape and structure of different objects, and intuitively experience spatial relationships by stacking and arranging blocks, understand spatial concepts such as up and down, left and right, and front and back, and improve their spatial thinking ability.

[0003] Traditional building block toys are usually assembled using snaps, slots, or friction, making the assembly and disassembly process cumbersome. As a result, a type of building block toy that uses magnetic attraction to achieve assembly has emerged on the market. These magnetic building blocks are assembled by adsorption using built-in magnets. However, since the position of the magnets is fixed, the direction of their magnetic pole adsorption is also fixed. Most of them can only be assembled according to the assembly method designed for the building blocks, resulting in low flexibility.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve magnetic building block toys in order to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a magnetic building block toy, which includes several polygonal building block units 10. Each building block unit 10 includes an upper shell 20 and a lower shell 30 distributed vertically. Several upper clamping plates 21 are fixedly installed on the side of the upper shell 20. A lower clamping plate 31 corresponding to the upper clamping plates 21 is fixedly installed on the side of the lower shell 30. A long bar magnet 40 is fixedly installed inside between the upper clamping plates 21 and the lower clamping plates 31. The long bar magnet 40 has a semi-circular cross-section, and its arc surface faces the outer surface of the building block unit 10.

[0028] Each building block unit 10 includes an upper shell 20, a lower shell 30, and a long magnet 40. The upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30 are injection molded from plastic or environmentally friendly materials. The assembled building block unit 10 has a flat polygonal shape. The long magnet 40 is a semi-cylindrical magnet made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet. When the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30 are assembled, they are embedded inside the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31, with their curved surfaces facing the outer surface of the building block unit 10. The long magnets 40 of each building block unit 10 are arranged in a preset direction to ensure that the opposite poles of the magnets of adjacent building blocks are opposite to each other, generating an attraction force. Two or more building blocks 10 can be quickly assembled by magnetic attraction, supporting multi-angle and multi-directional combinations. It has the advantages of simple operation, stable assembly, and high flexibility.

[0029] Specifically, the long magnets 40 of each building block unit 10 are arranged in a preset direction to ensure that the opposite poles of the magnets of adjacent building block units 10 are opposite. The arc shape of the semi-cylinder naturally has the characteristic of matching curvature. When the arc surfaces of two semi-cylinders are opposite each other, their curved surfaces can fit tightly together, increasing the effective contact area, reducing the leakage of magnetic field lines, thereby improving the adsorption strength and generating adsorption force. The arc design of the semi-cylinder will make the magnetic field lines more concentrated in the arc area (similar to the edge effect of a magnet), thereby enhancing the local magnetic field strength. When two or more arc surfaces are in contact, the magnetic field lines will form a closed loop through the other magnet. Multiple semi-cylinder magnets can form a ring or chain structure (such as end to end) through the adsorption of the arc surface, and achieve stable connection by utilizing the closed characteristic of the magnetic field to generate effective adsorption.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31 are distributed on the side of the building block unit 10. The number of upper plate 21 and lower plate 31 is the same as the number of sides of the building block unit 10. Each building block unit 10 has multiple faces equipped with long strip magnets 40 to support splicing at multiple angles and in multiple directions.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, several evenly distributed fixing posts 51 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper housing 20, and rivets 52 are fixedly installed on the lower housing 30 at the positions corresponding to the fixing posts 51. The upper housing 20 and the lower housing 30 are fixedly connected as a whole by the fixing posts 51 and the rivets 52. The cooperation of the fixing posts 51 and the rivets 52 can firmly connect the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 30 together to form a stable whole structure. This ensures that the upper and lower housings will not easily separate when the whole device is subjected to external forces, such as vibration, collision or slight pulling during daily use, thus ensuring the integrity and durability of the product.

[0032] During the production process, the design of the fixing post 51 and the rivet 52 makes the assembly of the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30 simple and efficient. Workers only need to align the rivet 52 of the lower shell 30 with the fixing post 51 of the upper shell 20 to complete the assembly of the two shells, which reduces assembly time and difficulty and improves production efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31 are arc-shaped. After the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30 are combined, a semi-cylindrical mounting groove 60 is formed between the arc-shaped upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31. The cross-sectional shape of the long magnet 40 matches the mounting groove 60. The length of the long magnet 40 is not less than two-thirds of the length of the mounting groove 60. The arc-shaped upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31 help to increase the contact area and improve the adsorption stability. The fact that the length of the long magnet 40 is not less than two-thirds of the length of the mounting groove 60 allows the magnetic field generated by the magnet to better cover the area of ​​the building block that needs magnetic action, thereby enhancing the magnetic effect.

[0034] At the same time, such as Figure 5 As shown, it can be used as a classroom teaching aid. The triangular building block unit 10 can be assembled into a triangular pyramid or triangular prism, and the quadrilateral building block unit 10 can be assembled into a square or rectangle, which facilitates the understanding of the relevant knowledge of solid geometry in the textbook and improves students' learning interest.

[0035] In addition, such as Figures 1-5As shown, anti-slip textures 11 are fixedly provided on both the upper shell 20 and the lower shell 30. The anti-slip textures can increase the friction between the hand and the shell. When the child picks up or operates the building blocks, even if the hands are sweaty or the surface of the building blocks is dusty, the child can hold them more firmly and they are less likely to slip. The long magnet 40 can also be broken open and replaced if it becomes demagnetized over time.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the principle of the magnetic building block toy provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] During installation, multiple long magnets 40 are placed inside the lower plate 31. The upper shell 20 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 30 as a whole by fixing posts 51 and rivets 52. At this time, the long magnets 40 will be firmly stuck in the mounting groove 60 between the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 31. Adjacent building block units 10 can be quickly assembled and disassembled by magnetic adsorption. The operation is simple and the assembly is highly flexible. Triangular building block units 10 can be assembled into triangular pyramids or triangular prisms, and quadrilateral building block units 10 can be assembled into squares or rectangles. It supports multi-angle and multi-directional assembly.
