[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a Gomoku (Five in a Row) game board, comprising two game boxes 1. A hinge 11 is fixedly connected to the rear outer wall of each game box 1, facilitating folding and unfolding. Two locking cylinders 3 are fixedly connected to the front outer wall of each game box 1. A pin 2 is slidably connected inside each locking cylinder 3. A spring 19 is fitted onto the outer wall of each pin 2. A locking block 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each pin 2. Two drawers 7 are slidably connected inside each game box 1. A slot 17 is formed inside each drawer 7. The pin 2 slides... The movable connection is inside the slot 17. The drawer 7 holds black and white chess pieces respectively. When in use, turn the latch 2. Using the elastic potential energy of the spring 2 19 and the force between it and the locking cylinder 3, the locking block 18 on the latch 2 is separated from the slot 17. The latch 2 can be removed to unlock the drawer 7. Conversely, when installing, turn the latch 2 to lock the locking block 18 into the slot 17. This makes disassembly and assembly convenient, avoids confusion between black and white chess pieces, facilitates storage, and does not take up too much space.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3Two piston cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chess box 1. A piston rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 5. A groove 13 is opened on the inner wall of the piston cylinder 5. A slider 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the piston rod 6. The slider 12 is slidably connected inside the groove 13. A threaded hole 14 is opened inside the piston rod 6. A nut 16 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the piston cylinder 5. A spring 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston rod 6. A vent hole 20 is opened at the bottom of the piston cylinder 5. A suction cup 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston cylinder 5. When the piston rod 6 is pressed down, the slider 12 on the piston rod 6 slides along the groove 13 to prevent the spring 15 from causing random displacement and to play a limiting role. The air is pressed down and discharged from the vent hole 20, which can enhance the suction force of the suction cup 4 and make it adhere more tightly and stably to the support surface, preventing the chessboard from shaking due to collision during use. After it is fixed, the piston rod 6 is fixed with the nut 16 to prevent the spring force of the spring 15 from driving the piston rod 6 upward and affecting the suction capacity of the suction cup 4.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A locking block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chess box 1, and a spring buckle 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chess box 1. The locking block 8 and the spring buckle 9 engage with each other, making it easy to lock and unlock, and the operation is simple.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The outer wall of the chess box 1 is equipped with a musical notation 10 to facilitate placing the pieces.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The end of spring 15 away from piston rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of piston cylinder 5. Spring 15 extends and contracts with piston rod 6 and piston cylinder 5, generating force and also having a buffering effect.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 The suction cup 4 fits snugly against the support surface, resulting in stronger adhesion, greater stability, and prevention of shaking.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 Nut 16 is threaded inside threaded hole 14 for easy fixing.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The locking block 18 and the slot 17 engage, making the installation more stable.

[0039] Working principle: First, pull out the locking block 8 from the elastic buckle 9 to unlock it. Then, unfold the chess box 1 through the hinge 11. The two drawers 7 inside the chess box 1 are for placing black and white chess pieces respectively. When in use, turn the pin 2. The elastic potential energy of the second spring 19 will generate force to separate the locking block 18 from the slot 17 and unlock it. Pull out the pin 2 and the drawer 7 can be taken out for use. Conversely, the compression force between the second spring 19 and the locking cylinder 3 will lock the locking block 18 and the slot 17 together to complete the storage and installation. During the game, the chess box 1 is prone to shaking, which will cause the chess pieces to be disordered. Therefore, press down the piston rod 6. The elasticity and buffer of the first spring 15 will cause the slider 12 to slide inside the slide groove 13 to prevent the piston rod 6 from shifting. The air inside is expelled through the vent hole 20, which can enhance the suction force of the suction cup 4. After fixing the suction cup 4 to the support surface, turn the nut 16 into the threaded hole 14 to complete the fixation and prevent the chess box 1 from moving.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
