[0022] Chessboard 1, lower plate 101, middle plate 102, upper plate 103, hexagonal column 104, fastener 105, first placement area 2, second placement area 3, third placement area 4, first placement hole 5, second placement hole 6, third placement hole 7, chess piece 8, fourth placement area 9, limiting groove 91, first display hole 92, second display hole 93, arc-shaped notch 94, inclined surface structure 95. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] See Figures 1-5 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an educational toy is proposed, including a chessboard 1. The chessboard 1 has a first placement area 2 set along the X direction, a second placement area 3 set along the Y direction, and a third placement area 4 set along the Z direction. The X direction is 120° to both the Y and Z directions. By limiting the angle, the first placement area 2, the second placement area 3, and the third placement area 4 have a three-dimensional stereoscopic projection vision, forming a coordinate plane in a three-dimensional space. This facilitates the projection puzzle operation of three-dimensional graphics during the game, that is, the corresponding three-dimensional graphics are projected onto the coordinate plane to form a puzzle. Furthermore, by combining the first placement area 2, the second placement area 3, and the third placement area 4, the transformation process from a three-dimensional image to a projected image can be quickly understood, enhancing the fun of thinking and cultivating interest.

[0025] To facilitate puzzle-solving operations for different shapes, the first placement area 2 is provided with several first placement holes 5 arranged in an array along the X direction, the second placement area 3 is provided with several second placement holes 6 arranged in an array along the Y direction, and the third placement area 4 is provided with several third placement holes 7 arranged in an array along the Z direction. This ensures visual consistency and provides sufficient space for puzzle-solving operations when the shapes are complex. Specifically, the first placement holes 5, the second placement holes 6, and the third placement holes 7 are used for detachable placement of the game pieces 8. The game pieces 8 can be detached to meet the puzzle-solving operation requirements, allowing the selection and replacement of game pieces 8 according to the shape of the puzzle.

[0026] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the placement and storage of interactive question cards and to display the corresponding three-dimensional graphics, a fourth placement area 9 for inserting question cards is provided on the chessboard 1. Thus, the fourth placement area 9 can store and display question cards.

[0027] To ensure the assemblability of the chessboard 1 and meet its structural stability requirements, the chessboard 1 specifically includes a lower plate 101, a middle plate 102, and an upper plate 103 stacked sequentially. The middle plate 102 has multiple connecting holes along its edge, and hexagonal posts 104 are fixed in the connecting holes. The lower plate 101 is locked to the hexagonal posts 104 by fasteners 105, and the upper plate 103 is locked to the hexagonal posts 104 by fasteners 105. On the 04, after the hexagonal post 104 is inserted into the middle layer plate 102, the upper layer plate 103 and the lower layer plate 101 are fastened to the hexagonal post 104 and attached to the middle layer plate 102 by fasteners 105. The first placement hole 5, the second placement hole 6 and the third placement hole 7 are provided on the upper layer plate 103 to ensure that the chess piece 8 is limited on the middle layer plate 102 after being placed in the first placement hole 5, the second placement hole 6 and the third placement hole 7.

[0028] Specifically, the fourth placement area 9 includes a limiting groove 91 formed on the middle layer plate 102. The limiting groove 91 has an opening located at the edge of the middle layer plate 102. The limiting groove 91 is used to embed the question card, and the question card is positioned after insertion through the limiting groove 91. At the same time, a first display hole 92 is formed on the upper layer plate 103 to expose the graphic area on the question card, and a second display hole 93 is formed on the upper layer plate 103 to expose the numbering area on the question card. The first display hole 92 exposes the graphic area on the question card, while the second display hole 93 displays the numbering area on the question card, making it easy to intuitively understand the current question card information.

[0029] The first display hole 92 is hexagonal, and the second display hole 93 is circular. The second display hole 93 is located to the lower left of the first display hole 92, so that the shapes of the first display hole 92 and the second display hole 93 match the shapes of the areas on the question card, thus achieving a more consistent structural display while satisfying the complete display of both areas.

[0030] To facilitate the insertion or removal of the question cards, arc-shaped notches 94 are provided on both the upper plate 103 and the lower plate 101, which connect to the openings of the limiting grooves 91. The arc-shaped notches 94 allow fingers to easily insert and pinch the question cards for operation.

[0031] Meanwhile, in order to prevent mistaken insertion of the question card and ensure the correct display of information on the question card, a bevel structure 95 is provided at one corner of the bottom edge of the limiting groove 91. After adding the bevel structure 95, the question card can only be inserted in the correct direction to display the corresponding information at the first display hole 92 and the second display hole 93.

[0032] To facilitate a three-dimensional spatial effect from a visual perspective, the first placement hole 5, the second placement hole 6, and the third placement hole 7 are all rhomboid in shape. At the same time, the cross-section of the chess piece 8 is also rhomboid. The color of the chess piece 8 includes at least yellow, orange, and red. The shape is not limited to rhomboid; it can also be round or oval, etc. The color type is not limited to the three mentioned above. The main purpose is to allow different colors to be used to distinguish the chess pieces 8 when they are placed in different areas, thus creating a more intuitive visual experience.
