Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track building block toys, specifically to a variable-direction building block and a track building block toy with the building block. Background Technology

[0002] Building blocks, especially track-based building blocks, are early education toys that help develop children's intelligence. However, in some entertainment scenarios involving track-based cars, the existing tracks are usually fixed after assembly, resulting in a monotonous and uninteresting driving experience. Chinese patent (publication number CN306119362S) discloses a magnetic track-based building block system. This system uses different shaped blocks with a recessed track in the middle. The blocks are magnetically connected to form a complete track, and the car's wheels move forward on the surface of the blocks. Positioning wheels on the car engage with the track, allowing it to change direction. The problem is that once the track is assembled, the car's trajectory is fixed and monotonous, resulting in limited entertainment value. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a building block with a variable track direction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A variable-direction building block includes a base body and a rotating body, both of which are thin sheets. The base body has four first track grooves at its center in four directions for a building block cart to move forward, with each of the four first track grooves pointing in a different direction. A circular rotating body is located in the center of the base body and can rotate relative to the base body. The rotating body has one second track groove and two third track grooves, and it has a first working position and a second working position. In the first working position, the second track groove is simultaneously connected to all four first track grooves. In the second working position, each of the third track grooves is connected to two adjacent first track grooves.

[0006] Preferably, the base body has a circular through hole in the middle, the size of which is similar to that of the circular rotating body, and the circular rotating body is secured to the circular through hole by a slot design.

[0007] Preferably, magnets are provided inside the four edges of the base body to connect other track magnetic blocks by magnetic attraction.

[0008] Preferably, the second track groove is a cross-shaped groove.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating body is circular, and the center point of the second track groove is coaxial with the center of the rotating body.

[0010] Preferably, the two third track grooves are arc-shaped grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the two third track slots are arranged symmetrically about the second track slot.

[0012] Preferably, the first track groove, the second track groove, and the third track groove have the same width and the same depth.

[0013] Preferably, the base body is square or cross-shaped.

[0014] Preferably, the base body has a circular through hole in the middle, the size of which is similar to that of the circular rotating body, and a slot is provided on the edge of the circular rotating body, which is engaged with the edge of the circular through hole.

[0015] Preferably, a track-shaped building block toy includes blocks with a variable track orientation.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0017] This invention features a rotating body in the middle of the base, allowing the first track groove to connect with the second or third track groove during adjustment. This changes the track direction, enabling the toy car to travel along different trajectories and increasing the fun and operability during play.

[0018] This application has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is flexible and portable, making it suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a building block with variable track direction, including a base body 2 and a rotating body 4, both of which are thin sheet-like. The base body 2 has a first track groove 3 for the building block cart to move forward in four directions at the center of its surface, and the four first track grooves 3 point to four different directions respectively. The rotating body 4 is provided in the middle of the base body 2 and can rotate relative to the base body 2. The rotating body 4 has a second track groove 5 and two third track grooves 6, and the rotating body 4 has a first working position and a second working position. When the rotating body 4 is in the first working position, one second track groove 5 is connected to all four first track grooves 3 at the same time. When the rotating body 4 is in the second working position, each third track groove 6 is connected to two adjacent first track grooves 3 respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, a circular through hole is provided in the middle of the base body 2. The size of the through hole is similar to that of the circular rotating body 4. The circular rotating body 4 is secured to the circular through hole by a slot design. Because the circular through hole and the circular rotating body 4 are engaged by the slot, the rotating body 4 can rotate in the middle of the base body 2 and is not easy to fall out.

[0029] Furthermore, the four edges of the base body 2 form two sets of parallel edges, and the two first track grooves 3 on each set of parallel edges are arranged opposite each other. The base body 2 is equipped with magnets (not shown in the figure) on its edges. The base body 2 is magnetically connected to other track magnetic blocks, such as track blocks 1.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the second track groove 5 is cross-shaped, and the rotating body 4 is circular. The center point of the second track groove 5 is coaxial with the center of the rotating body 4. The inner width of the second track groove 5 is equal to the inner width of the first track groove 3. Through the cross-shaped second track groove 5, when the rotating body 4 is in the first working position, the second track groove 5 can communicate with the four first track grooves 3 respectively, thereby enabling the trolley to travel in a straight line.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the two third track grooves 6 are arc-shaped grooves, and both third track grooves 6 are connected to the second track groove 5. The two third track grooves 6 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the rotating body 4 as an axis of symmetry, and the inner width of the third track groove 6 is equal to the inner width of the first track groove 3. When the third track groove 6 connects with the two adjacent first track grooves 3, a 90° turning change can be achieved, thus changing the trajectory of the vehicle.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment, the base body 2 is a hollow rectangular (square) body.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in the second embodiment, the base body 2 is hollow and cross-shaped.

[0034] This utility model also proposes a track-shaped building block toy, which includes the aforementioned building blocks with variable track direction.

[0035] In summary, the solution proposed by this utility model can easily change the track direction, allowing the car to travel along different trajectories, increasing the fun and operability during play.
