Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building block toy technology, and in particular to a building block windmill structure. Background Technology
[0002] Building block windmills are a category of building block products that combine fun, creativity, and aesthetics. Whether for children's early building, adults' creative DIY, or home decoration, they can meet the needs through different designs and ways of playing. Different designs of building block windmills can meet the needs of different groups of people, and the "safety, low cost, and easy maintenance" of plastic materials make them suitable for multiple scenarios.
[0003] Currently, most building blocks on the market are made of plastic. Plastic building blocks are lightweight and easy for users to assemble. However, in actual use, it has been found that the overall structure of the assembled building blocks is weak in resisting external impacts, which can easily cause deformation of the plastic structure. Therefore, later assembly or addition of structures can cause the overall windmill to bend, affecting the aesthetics.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a modular windmill structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0006] This utility model provides a building block windmill structure that can solve the problem of the instability of plastic building block structures. The specific solution is as follows:
[0007] A modular windmill structure includes a base with a built-in load-bearing block; a positioning groove is formed at the center of the top of the base, and a column is fixedly connected to the center of the positioning groove; a disc-shaped plate is snapped into the center of the top of the column; both the disc-shaped plate and the column have protrusions on their surfaces; fan blades are snapped into the four corners of the front of the disc-shaped plate through protrusions, and four sets of fan blades form a windmill structure on the disc-shaped plate; the back of the column is a hollow structure with an internal cavity, and reinforcing components are set inside the cavity.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing component includes multiple reinforcing seats, the side walls of the multiple reinforcing seats are fixed to the inner side of the cavity, and reinforcing strips are fixedly connected between the multiple reinforcing seats, with grooves provided on both sides of the reinforcing strips.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of LED beads are fixedly connected inside the groove, and the plurality of LED beads are interconnected by wires. Connecting strips are preset on the back of the LED beads located at the upper and lower ends, and the connecting strips are interconnected with the inner wall of the groove.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the reinforcing seat is fixedly connected to a support column, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the edge of the support column. The end of the fixing rod is connected to the inner wall of the cavity. Both the fixing rod and the support column are made of plastic.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the inner wall of the cavity is pre-set with iron sheets.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a magnetic suction plate is fixedly installed on the back of the reinforcing strip, and the magnetic suction plate is magnetically connected to the iron sheet.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The windmill is assembled by setting up columns, disc plates, and fan blades with their raised surface structures. A cavity is opened on the back of the column, and a reinforcing component is installed inside the cavity to make the column more robust. The column serves as the support point for the entire windmill structure, increasing the stability of the subsequent assembly and preventing deformation of the column due to the increase in the number of splicing structures.
[0015] Furthermore, the reinforcing components are magnetically connected within the cavity via magnetic plates, making the connection more convenient. For simple assembly, the reinforcing components can be omitted, making the overall device lighter, easier to carry, and improving convenience.
[0016] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the written description and the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and, together with the embodiments of the present invention, serve to illustrate the principles of the present invention.
[0025] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a building block windmill structure, including a base 1 with a built-in load-bearing block; a positioning groove 2 is opened at the top center of the base 1, and a column 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the positioning groove 2. A disc plate 4 is snapped into the top center of the column 3. Both the disc plate 4 and the column 3 have protrusions 6 on their surfaces. Fan blades 5 are snapped into the four corners of the front of the disc plate 4 through the protrusions 6. The four sets of fan blades 5 form a windmill structure on the disc plate 4; the back of the column 3 is a hollow structure with a cavity 7 inside, and a reinforcing component is installed in the cavity 7.
[0026] The reinforcing component includes multiple reinforcing seats 11, the side walls of the multiple reinforcing seats 11 are fixed to the inside of the cavity 7, and reinforcing strips 10 are fixedly connected between the multiple reinforcing seats 11. Grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the reinforcing strips 10.
[0027] Several LED beads 14 are fixedly connected inside the groove 8. The LED beads 14 are interconnected by wires. Connecting strips are pre-set on the back of the LED beads 14 located at the upper and lower ends. The connecting strips are connected to the inner wall of the groove 8. The column 3 serves as the "support trunk" of the windmill. The LED beads 14 inside can be designed to have modes such as "gradual bright and dark", "flowing flashing", and "color cycle". After adding the LED beads 14, the column 3 will become one of the visual focal points, forming a layered contrast with the blades, making the entire windmill structure more three-dimensional and avoiding visual fatigue caused by the single rotation of the blades.
[0028] The end of the reinforcing seat 11 is fixedly connected to the support column 12. The support column 12 has fixed rods 9 on both sides of its edge. The ends of the fixed rods 9 are connected to the inner wall of the cavity 7. Both the fixed rods 9 and the support column 12 are made of plastic. The plastic can be integrally molded by a mold. The surfaces of the support column 12 and the fixed rods 9 can be made smooth and burr-free with rounded edges. Unlike metal rods or wooden rods, they will not scratch hands during assembly or play. Even if there is an accidental collision, the softness of the plastic can reduce the pain of bumps and reduce the probability of injury. The density of plastic is much lower than that of metal. Using plastic to make the support column 12 and the fixed rods 9 can significantly reduce the overall weight of the windmill.
[0029] The inner wall of cavity 7 is pre-set with iron sheets. The iron sheets inside cavity 7 are circular or square in structure, which is conducive to connecting with magnetic plate 13.
[0030] A magnetic suction plate 13 is fixedly installed on the back of the reinforcing strip 10. The magnetic suction plate 13 is magnetically connected to the iron sheet. Through the magnetic structure, the connection between the reinforcing strip 10 and the reinforcing seat 11 inside the cavity 7 is made more convenient. In use, the reinforcing strip 10 is placed inside the cavity 7, and its magnetic suction plate 13 is connected to the iron sheet. Figure 2 As shown, both sides of the reinforcing seat 11 are also embedded inside the cavity 7, and the side walls of the reinforcing seat 11 and the cavity 7 fit together to form a fixation, so that the entire reinforcing component is embedded in the cavity 7, making the column 3 more solid.
[0031] The windmill is assembled by setting up columns 3, disc plates 4 and fan blades 5 with the protrusions 6 on their surfaces. A cavity 7 is opened on the back of the column 3, and a reinforcing component is set in the cavity 7 to make the column 3 more solid. The column 3 serves as the support point of the entire windmill structure, which increases the stability of the later splicing and avoids the deformation of the column 3 due to the increase of splicing structure.
[0032] Furthermore, the reinforcing components are magnetically connected within the cavity via magnetic plates 13, making the connection more convenient. For simple assembly, the reinforcing components can be omitted, making the overall device lighter, easier to carry, and improving convenience.
