Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and more specifically to a building-type educational toy. Background Technology
[0002] Building blocks are solid toys made of cubic wood or plastic. With the development of society, most parents buy building block toys for their children to develop their hands-on skills and spatial imagination. However, in real life, children's hands-on and logical abilities need to be developed gradually from simple to complex. Therefore, there is a need for educational building toys that can cultivate children's logical and hands-on abilities. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a building-based educational toy that can cultivate children's logical and hands-on abilities through the snap-fit of sleeves and corresponding connecting rods.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] An educational toy includes two symmetrically arranged rectangular frames, each with a connecting rod at its corner, sleeves attached to corresponding connecting rods on the two rectangular frames, and balls placed between the two rectangular frames and multiple sleeves.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a protrusion, and each sleeve is provided with a groove that couples with the corresponding protrusion and connecting rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a slot is provided at the lower part of the sleeve groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower part of the sleeve groove is provided with spring holes, and each spring hole is provided with a spring.
[0009] Furthermore, the rectangular frame is connected to the corresponding connecting rod by a thread.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention, a building-type educational toy, are: it can cultivate children's logical and hands-on abilities through the snap-fit of the sleeve and the corresponding connecting rod; and it can attract children's attention and increase their curiosity through the ball.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 , 2 Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 detail the implementation of building the toy:
[0021] An educational toy includes two symmetrically arranged rectangular frames 11. Each rectangular frame 11 has a connecting rod 12 at its corner. The rectangular frames 11 and the corresponding connecting rods 12 are connected by threads, allowing the connecting rods 12 to be detached from the rectangular frames 11 by rotating them. Sleeves 21 are fitted onto corresponding connecting rods 12 on the two rectangular frames 11. Protrusions 13 are fixedly connected to the connecting rods 12. Each sleeve 21 has a groove 23 that couples with the corresponding protrusion 13 and connecting rod 12. A retaining groove 24 is provided at the lower part of each groove 23. Thus, the sleeve 21 is aligned with the corresponding protrusion 13 and connecting rod 12 through the coupling of the slot 23 with the corresponding protrusion 13 and connecting rod 12. When the protrusion 13 slides into the slot 24, the sleeve 21 is rotated to misalign the protrusion 13 with the slot 23, preventing the protrusion 13 from being pulled out. This allows for quick connection between the sleeve 21 and the connecting rod 12, enabling children to build a three-dimensional structure by assembling two rectangular frames 11 and four sleeves 21. The connection method between the sleeves 21 and the connecting rod 12 guides children's logical thinking. A ball 31 is placed between the two rectangular frames 11 and multiple sleeves 21. After installing the two rectangular frames 11 and multiple sleeves 21, the ball 31 can also increase children's curiosity to disassemble the connection between the rectangular frames 11 and the sleeves 21, thereby cultivating children's logical abilities. The ball 31 can also be replaced with a bell, attracting children's attention with the sound of the bell, thus cultivating children's logical and hands-on abilities by disassembling and assembling the rectangular frames 11 and the sleeves 21.
[0022] refer to Figure 4 ,5 Examples 6 and 7 detail embodiments for preventing the sleeve 21 from detaching from the rectangular frame 11:
[0023] The lower part of the sleeve groove 23 is machined with spring holes 25, and a spring 22 is fixedly connected in each spring hole 25. When the sleeve 21 is inserted into the corresponding connecting rod 12, the corresponding spring 22 is compressed. Then, after the sleeve 21 is rotated, the spring force of the spring 22 applies pressure to the clamped connecting rod 12, thereby increasing the friction between the connecting rod 12 and the slot 24, thus preventing the connecting rod 12 from automatically disengaging from the sleeve 21 without disassembly.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 Detailed description of an embodiment of the rotating connecting rod 12:
[0025] A groove 14 is machined on the end face of the connecting rod 12. The groove 14 is in the shape of a straight line, so that force can be applied to the connecting rod 12 through the straight groove 14 to realize the rotation of the connecting rod 12.
[0026] refer to Figure 2 , 6 Section 7 details an embodiment of the clamping sleeve 21:
[0027] The slot 24 has a circular groove in the middle and two fan-shaped grooves on the outside that communicate with the circular groove. The fan-shaped grooves, which are offset from the sleeve groove 23, limit the position of the protrusion 13, thereby enabling the installation of the sleeve 21. The distance between the two end faces of the slot 24 is equal to the distance between the upper and lower end faces of the protrusion 13, thus ensuring that the slot 24 can properly engage the protrusion 13.
[0028] refer to Figure 7 Detailed description of an embodiment where spring 22 presses against connecting rod 12:
[0029] The diameter of the spring hole 25 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting rod 12, thereby ensuring that the spring 22 contacts the connecting rod 12 and pushes the connecting rod 12, preventing the spring 22 from contacting the corresponding protrusion 13 and causing jamming, which would affect the rotation of the connecting rod 12.
