[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a modular educational toy includes a block assembly 1, which comprises multiple first blocks 2 and second blocks 4. The first blocks 2 and second blocks 4 have identical structures and each includes a cube 100. Three sides of the cube 100 are fixedly connected to an open outer plate 3, which possesses good structural strength to ensure the reliability of the block connections. The other three sides of the cube 100 have magnetic slots 6, and the open outer plate 3 contains annular iron pieces that can be attracted by magnets. A magnetic piece is provided in the magnetic slot 6, and a protective ring 7 for fixing the magnetic piece is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the magnetic slot 6. The protective ring 7 not only fixes the magnetic piece, but also protects the magnetic slot 6 and extends its service life. The open outer plate 3 of block 1 2 is inserted into the magnetic slot 6 of block 2 4 and they attract each other. Of course, it is the same if the open outer plate 3 of block 2 4 is inserted into the magnetic slot 6 of block 1 2. Block 1 2 and block 2 4 are just for the convenience of describing two independent blocks.

[0024] This magnetic connection method makes assembling building blocks more convenient and effortless, and children can easily operate it.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 On the cube 100, a plug-in slot 8 is provided on the side with the magnetic slot 6. The plug-in slot 8 is specifically configured as follows: the upper and lower four corners of the side with the magnetic slot 6 are fixedly connected to support blocks 9 protruding from the side. Each support block 9 has a chamfer 13. The two upper support blocks 9 have side feet 1 5, and the two lower support blocks 9 have side feet 2 12. Side feet 1 5 and side feet 2 12 extend from both sides to the middle. The two side feet 1 5, the two side feet 2 12 and the side constitute the plug-in slot 8. Various shapes of accessories can be inserted into the plug-in slot 8 to meet the needs of various model building.

[0026] In the specific design, a notch 11 is provided on the lower surface of the second side foot 12. The notch 11 avoids the outer plate 3 when the building blocks are assembled and plays a positioning role when they are stacked.

[0027] In the specific design, the distance between the inner ends of the two side feet 15, the distance between the inner ends of the two side feet 212, and the distance between side feet 15 and side feet 212 are all greater than the diameter of the outer open plate 3. The width of the slot 8 is greater than the thickness of the outer open plate 3. With this setting, the outer open plate 3 can slide in the slot 8, so that block 12 can slide relative to block 24, adjusting the angle and position of the block connection to build some special shapes, such as partial hollowing.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] In use, users can connect and attach the open outer plate 3 of block 1 2 to the magnetic slot 6 on block 2 4 according to their creativity, thus completing the assembly of the blocks. Due to the magnetic attraction between the open outer plate 3 and the magnetic slot 6, the assembled block structure has good stability and is not easy to fall apart. When building different shapes, various shaped accessories can be inserted using the insertion slot 8. The magnetic slot 6 is generally set very shallow, with a depth of 1 to 3 mm. Therefore, as long as the open outer plate 3 is partially inserted into the magnetic slot 6, they can still be attracted to each other. Thus, the angle and position of the block connection can be adjusted by sliding the position of the open outer plate 3 in the insertion slot 8, thereby creating a variety of shapes.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
