Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to a magnetic maze toy. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of educational toys, magnetic maze toys are a popular early childhood education tool. Players can use a magnetic pen to control an iron ball to start from a preset starting point and travel along the winding path of the maze to reach the end.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215609268U discloses a magnetic pen-operated maze toy, including a base and a ball-operated pen. The base has a maze groove for the ball to move through. The maze groove has a starting point and multiple ending points, and multiple branch paths are provided on the maze groove. Multiple path adjustment seats are horizontally rotatably mounted on the base along the extended path of the maze groove. The path adjustment seats have adjustment seat channels for connecting to the maze groove. In use, the ball is driven by the ball-operated pen to move along the maze groove from the starting point. When the ball reaches a branch path, it selects a path according to the target ending point. When the ball reaches the path adjustment seat, the path adjustment seat is rotated to connect the adjustment seat channel with the maze groove. The ball is then driven by the ball-operated pen to pass through the adjustment seat channel. This cycle is repeated until the ball finally reaches the target ending point on the maze groove.

[0004] In the aforementioned game, players search for a way out of the maze and manipulate a ball to navigate it, thus exercising their cognitive abilities and hand-eye coordination. However, after playing the game several times, players can easily memorize the controls and maze routes to master the solution, reducing the game's difficulty and negatively impacting the player experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing magnetic maze toys allow players to easily memorize the operation methods and maze routes after playing the game several times, thus reducing the game's difficulty and worsening the player experience.

The rotating component is horizontally mounted on the base in the rotating groove. A slider is provided on the other end of the connecting rod. A first sliding groove is provided on the base. The slider is slidably mounted in the first sliding groove.

[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with an escape channel, the entrance of which is connected to the rotating groove, and the exit of which is connected to the main groove.

[0011] Preferably, a second magnetic attractor is provided at one end of the connecting rod near the slider, and a metal limiting member is fixedly installed at both ends of the first slide groove, with the metal limiting member and the second magnetic attractor being magnetically attracted to each other.

[0012] Preferably, a rotating groove is provided on the path of the main groove near the first end of the launch channel. A gear is horizontally rotatably mounted on the base inside the rotating groove. The tooth groove of the gear matches the shape of a metal ball. Rotating the gear can make one of the tooth grooves of the gear connect with the main groove.

[0013] Preferably, a diversion channel connected to the main channel is provided on the main channel path, and multiple vertically arranged cylinders are provided in the diversion channel to divide the diversion channel into multiple paths; The outlet of the diversion channel is provided with a receiving tank, and the outlet of at least one path is connected to the main channel, while the outlets of other paths are connected to the receiving tank.

[0014] Preferably, the main channel includes a first main channel and a second main channel, and the first main channel and the second main channel are connected to each other; The path of the first main channel is provided with a first blind channel, a first through channel and multiple first collection channels.

[0015] Preferably, a mounting part is provided at the bottom edge of the base, and a connector is vertically rotatably mounted on the mounting part. A support leg is provided at the end of the connector away from the mounting part, and the top surface of the support leg is flush with the upper surface of the connector. When the upper surface of the connector is in contact with the bottom surface of the base, the support leg is located below the base; when the lower surface of the connector is in contact with the bottom of the base, the support leg is located outside the base.

[0016] Preferably, the base is provided with a top cover made of transparent material; The first driving component is a magnetic pen, with a magnetic head at one end. The magnetic head is spaced apart from the top cover and is magnetically attracted to the metal ball.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the magnetic maze toy of this utility model has the following advantages: This invention discloses a magnetic maze toy. The base has a maze groove, which includes multiple branch grooves and a main groove connected end-to-end. The branch grooves are connected to the main groove and other branch grooves, forming a multi-path, multi-endpoint maze. A launching element is positioned along the path of the main groove. The launching element has a launching channel; its first end is closed and opposite to the path of the main groove, while its second end is connected to the path of the main groove. A metal ball is placed within the launching channel or the main groove.

[0018] In operation, the first driving component propels the first metal ball along the main slot. When it reaches the main slot near the first end of the launch channel, the magnetic component drives the first metal ball to collide with the launcher. The launcher then propels the second metal ball, located within the launch channel, out at high speed. The second metal ball rolls along the main slot or into a branch slot. The collision of the metal ball with the launcher and the acceleration of the metal ball within the launch channel both create a strong visual impact, stimulating the player's excitement and enjoyment, thus enhancing their interest. Simultaneously, the launched metal ball enters a maze with multiple branches and endpoints, randomly falling into different maze slots; this unpredictability further enhances the player's enjoyment.

[0019] After each round of launches, the player must use the adjusting mechanism to transport the metal ball that struck the launcher to the main slot at the second end of the launch channel, replenishing the launch ball supply. Then, the first driving mechanism propels the metal balls that have fallen into the slots back along the maze-like path to the main slot near the first end of the launch channel, ready to strike the launcher in the next round. The launch path and destination of the metal balls are random, meaning that the path the metal balls take back to the main slot each time is not unique. This ensures that the entire loop path from the second end of the launch channel to the first end is different each time, allowing players to experience entirely new paths even after multiple playthroughs. This solves the technical problem in existing technologies where players easily memorize the operation methods and maze routes after repeated playthroughs, reducing game difficulty and thus degrading the player experience.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the magnetic maze toy of this utility model includes a base 1, on which a maze groove 12, a launching element 2, at least two metal balls 3, a first driving element 7, a magnetic attracting element 21, and an adjusting element 4 are disposed. The maze groove 12 includes a main groove 121 and multiple branch grooves, the main groove 121 being connected end to end, and the branch grooves being connected to the main groove 121 and / or branch grooves. In this embodiment of the utility model, the main groove 121 includes a first main groove 1211 and a second main groove 1212, the first main groove 1211 and the second main groove 1212 being interconnected. The first main channel 1211 and the second main channel 1212 are arranged sequentially in the left-right direction. The right side channel of the first main channel 1211 overlaps with the left side channel of the second main channel 1212, forming a shared channel to achieve communication between the two main channels 1211 and 1212. The path of the first main channel 1211 is provided with a first blind channel 1211a, a first through channel 1211b, and multiple first collection channels 1211c. The first blind channel 1211a and the first through channel 1211b... / or the first main channel 1211 is connected, and a plurality of first collection channels 1211c are respectively disposed on the first blind channel 1211a and / or the first through channel 1211b; the second main channel 1212 is provided with a second blind channel 1212a, a second through channel 1212b and a plurality of second collection channels 1212c, the second blind channel 1212a is connected to the second through channel 1212b and / or the second main channel 1212, and the second collection channels 1212c are disposed on the second blind channel 1212a and / or the second through channel 1212b. In this embodiment of the invention, the first main slot 1211, the second main slot 1212, and the branch slots such as blind slots and through slots disposed on the first main slot 1211 and the second main slot 1212 together form a maze with multiple branches and multiple endpoints. The movement path of the metal ball 3 in the maze slot 12 is more abundant, and the uncertainty of the endpoint it reaches after launch is greatly increased. This not only increases the fun of the magnetic maze toy, but also attracts players. Moreover, the maze with multiple branches and multiple endpoints also satisfies the traditional game mode of driving the metal ball 3 to find the target endpoint, providing players with multiple choices and improving the player's game experience.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the base 1 is rectangular and includes a bottom shell 1a and a mounting plate 1b disposed on the bottom shell 1a. The mounting plate 1b and the bottom shell 1a are glued together to form a main body. The bottom shell 1a is a rectangular plate with a game window. The maze slot 12, the launching component 2, the metal ball 3, the first driving component 7, the magnetic component 21, and the adjusting component 4 are all disposed on the mounting plate 1b. An iron plate 1c is disposed between the mounting plate 1b and the bottom shell 1a. Players can attach magnetic patches to the iron plate 1c inside the game window of the bottom shell 1a to play magnetic patch games inside the game window of the bottom shell 1a. A transparent top cover 24 is disposed on the top of the mounting plate 1b. The top cover 24 is fixedly connected to the main body composed of the mounting plate 1b and the bottom shell 1a by screws 26.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the launcher 2 is disposed on the path of the main slot 121. The launcher 2 has a launch channel 22, the first end of which is closed and opposite to the path of the main slot 121, and the second end of which is connected to the path of the main slot 121. In this embodiment of the invention, there are two launchers 2, respectively disposed on the left side of the first main slot 1211 and the right side of the second main slot 1212. The magnetic maze toy also includes at least two metal balls 3, each of which is rotatably disposed within the launch channel 22 or the main slot 121. The first driving member 7 is used to drive the first metal ball 3 to move along the main groove 121; the magnetic suction member 21 is used to drive the first metal ball 3 to hit the side wall of the launcher 2 at the first end of the launch channel 22, so that the second metal ball 3 located in the launch channel 22 accelerates and rolls along the main groove 121, so that the second metal ball 3 rolls along the main groove 121 or rolls into the branch groove; the adjusting member 4 is set on the base 1 at the launcher 2, and the adjusting member 4 is used to move the metal ball 3 in the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22 to the main groove 121 at the second end of the launch channel 22.

[0029] In use, the first driving component 7 drives the first metal ball 3 to move along the main groove 121. When it moves to the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22, the magnetic suction component 21 drives the first metal ball 3 to collide with the launching component 2. The launching component 2 then accelerates and launches the second metal ball 3 located in the launch channel 22. The second metal ball 3 rolls along the main groove 121 or rolls into a branch groove. The collision of the metal ball 3 with the launching component 2 and the acceleration of the metal ball 3 within the launch channel 22 both have a strong visual impact, which can stimulate the player's excitement and enjoyment, and enhance the player's interest. At the same time, the launched metal ball 3 enters a maze with multiple branches and multiple destinations, and the metal ball 3 randomly falls into different maze grooves 12. This unpredictability further enhances the player's interest.

[0030] After this round of launches, the player needs to use the adjusting component 4 to transport the metal ball that impacts the launcher 2 to the main slot 121 at the second end of the launch channel 22, allowing it to enter the launch channel 22 to replenish the launch balls. Then, the first driving component 7 uses the metal ball 3 that has fallen into each slot to return along the maze slot 12 to the main slot 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22, for use in the next round of launches to impact the launcher 2. The forward path of the launched metal ball 3 is random, and the destination of the metal ball 3 is random, so the path of the metal ball 3 back to the main slot 121 that impacts the launcher 2 is not unique each time. This means that the entire loop path of the metal ball 3 from the second end of the launch channel 22 to the first end of the launch channel 22 is different each time. Even after multiple games, the player is still experiencing a completely new path. This solves the technical problem in the existing technology where players easily memorize the operation methods and maze routes to master the solution after playing the game several times, reducing the game difficulty and worsening the player experience.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the first driving component 7 is a magnetic pen. One end of the magnetic pen is provided with a magnetic head. The magnetic head is spaced apart from the top cover 24 and is magnetically attracted to the metal ball 3. The magnetic head can magnetically control the metal ball 3 on the maze groove 12 through the transparent top cover 24. The rear end of the magnetic pen is provided with a connecting rope 71. The rear end of the connecting rope 71 is provided with a mounting nut 72. The mounting nut 72 is installed in the threaded hole on the mounting plate 1b. The mounting plate 1b is provided with a slot 25. One end of the slot 25 extends through the side wall of the mounting plate 1b. The magnetic pen can be inserted and removed into the slot 25. When in use, the magnetic pen can be pulled out of the slot 25.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic attractor 21 is disposed on the emitter 2 at the first end of the emission channel 22, and the magnetic attractor 21 attracts the metal balls 3 on both sides of the magnetic attractor 21. In this embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic attractor 21 is a magnet block, and the emitter 2 at the first end of the emission channel 22 is provided with a mounting hole, and the magnet block is nested and fixed in the mounting hole. Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4As shown, there are three metal balls 3 located at the launcher 2: a first metal ball 31, a second metal ball 32, and a third metal ball 33. The first metal ball 31 is located in the main slot 121; the third metal ball 33 is located at the second end of the launch channel 22; the second metal ball 32 is fixed to the launcher 2 at the first end of the launch channel 22, and the second metal ball 32 and the third metal ball 33 abut against each other; the second metal ball 32 is magnetically fixed to the magnet block, and the third metal ball 33 is also magnetically attracted and attached to the second metal ball 32. When the first driving member 7 drives the first metal ball 31 to the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22, the magnetic suction member 21 drives the first metal ball 31 to impact the side wall of the launch member 2 at the first end of the launch channel 22, so that the second metal ball 3 located in the launch channel 22 transmits the impact force to the third metal ball 33. The kinetic energy of the first metal ball 31 is transmitted to the third metal ball 33 through the magnet block and the second metal ball 32. The third metal ball 33 overcomes the magnetic attraction force applied to it by the magnet block, so that the third metal ball 33 accelerates and rolls along the main groove 121.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting component 4 includes a connecting rod 41 and a rotating component 42 disposed at one end of the connecting rod 41. The rotating component 42 is provided with an inner ring groove 421, and the launching component 2 is disposed in the inner ring groove 421. The rotating component 42 is provided with through grooves 422 at both ends of the launching channel 22. The through groove 422 located at the second end of the launching channel 22 is used to connect the launching channel 22 and the main groove 121. A rotating groove 11 is provided on the path of the main groove 121. The rotating component 42 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the base 1 in the rotating groove 11. The other end of the connecting rod 41 is provided with a slider 43. The base 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 14. The slider 43 is slidably mounted in the first sliding groove 14. A second magnetic suction component 411 is provided on the end of the connecting rod 41 near the slider 43. After launch, the first driving member 7 magnetically attracts the second magnetic member 411 through the top cover 24, and drives the slider 43 to slide along the first slide groove 14, thereby driving the rotating member 42 to rotate. The metal ball 3 in the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22 is attracted to the magnetic block under the action of the magnetic block, and the metal ball 3 is located in the through groove 422 near the first end of the launch channel 2 on the launch member 2. The rotating member 42 transports the metal ball 3 to the main groove 121 at the second end of the launch channel 22. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block, the metal ball 3 is sucked into the launch channel 22, completing the replenishment of the metal ball 3 to be launched.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, an escape channel 13 is provided on the base 1. The entrance of the escape channel 13 is connected to the rotating groove 11, and the exit of the escape channel 13 is connected to the main groove 121. The launch limit of this utility model embodiment is that there are only two metal balls 3 in the launch channel 22. When there are three or more metal balls 3 in the launch channel 22, the metal balls 3 impacting the launcher 2 may not provide enough power to launch the outermost metal ball 3. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the excess metal balls 3. In this utility model embodiment, the first driving member 7 drives the slider 43 to rotate along the first sliding groove 14, and drives the rotating member 42 to rotate. The rotating member 42 transports the excess metal balls 3 in the through groove 422 at the second end of the launch channel 22 to the entrance of the escape channel 13. Then, the first driving member 7 drives the metal balls 3 into the main groove 121 or the branch groove. When the through slot 422 reconnects the launch channel 22 and the main slot 121, the other excess metal balls 3 fall into the through slot 422. Repeat the above steps of removing the metal balls 3 until there are two metal balls 3 at the launch channel 22.

[0035] Furthermore, a metal limiting member 141 is fixedly installed at both ends of the first slide groove 14, and the metal limiting member 141 is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic attractor 411. In this embodiment of the present invention, the metal limiting member 141 is a small metal ball. When the slider 43 slides close to the two ends of the first slide groove 14, the second magnetic attractor 411 near the end of the connecting rod 41 is magnetically attracted to the small metal ball, so as to temporarily fix the slider 43.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after one round of firing, the metal ball 3 impacting the launcher 2 is transported to the launch channel 22 by the adjusting component 4 to replenish the metal ball 3 to be fired. Therefore, before the next round of firing begins, the player needs to replenish the metal ball 3 impacting the launcher 2. When replenishing the metal ball 3 impacting the launcher 2, if the number of replenishments is greater than one at a time, it will seriously interfere with the impact of the metal ball 3 on the launcher 2. To this end, in this embodiment of the invention, a rotating groove 16 is provided on the path of the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22. A gear 161 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the base 1 inside the rotating groove 16. The tooth groove of the gear 161 matches the shape of a metal ball 3. Rotating the gear 161 allows one of the tooth grooves of the gear 161 to connect with the main groove 121. The tooth groove of the gear 161 can only accommodate one metal ball 3. When replenishing the metal ball 3 of the impact launcher 2, the first driving member 7 drives a metal ball 3 to roll along the main groove 121 and enter a tooth groove of the gear 161. The metal ball 3 is controlled to drive the gear 161 to rotate so that the tooth groove where the metal ball 3 is located is connected to the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22. After the metal ball 3 is released, the metal ball 3 accelerates to impact the launcher 2 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attractor 21 to start a new round of launch process.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a diversion channel 15 connected to the main channel 121 is provided on the path of the main channel 121. Multiple vertically arranged cylinders 151 are provided in the diversion channel 15 to divide the diversion channel 15 into multiple paths. A receiving channel 152 is provided at the outlet of the diversion channel 15. The outlet of at least one path is connected to the main channel 121, and the outlets of other paths are connected to the receiving channel 152. In this embodiment of the invention, a diversion channel 15 is disposed on the common channel of the first main channel 1211 and the second main channel 1212. Multiple cylinders 151 are vertically fixed to a connecting plate, which is fixed to a base 1 within the diversion channel 15. The arrangement of the multiple cylinders 151 divides the diversion channel 15 into multiple passageways. When a metal ball 3 enters one path, it impacts a cylinder 151, changing its direction of movement and entering another path. This process repeats continuously until the metal ball 3 exits from a certain path. The outlet of the diversion channel 15 has the common channel of the first main channel 1211 and the second main channel 1212, and two receiving slots 152. The outlets of the multiple paths are connected to the common channel and the two receiving slots 152. When the launched metal ball 3 enters the diversion channel 15, it continuously impacts different cylinders 151 as it enters the path, frequently changing its direction of movement. The metal ball 3 frequently switches between multiple different paths, eventually entering either the receiving slot 152 or the common channel. By frequently changing the direction of the movement of the metal ball 3 through the cylinder 151, the uncertainty of the movement of the metal ball 3 is increased, and the metal ball 3 enters different grooves. The movement path of the metal ball 3 is difficult to predict, which increases the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when not in the launch game, this embodiment of the invention also features a traditional game mode for controlling a metal ball 3 to reach the end of the maze. To enhance the fun of this game mode, a second slide 17 is provided on the first blind slot 1211a and the second blind slot 1212a. One end of the second slide 17 is connected to either the first blind slot 1211a or the second blind slot 1212a, and a metal slider 171 is slidably installed inside the second slide 17. In use, the metal slider 171 is driven by the first driving member 7 to slide into the first blind slot 1211a or the second blind slot 1212a to close part of the slot, thereby changing and restricting the movement path of the metal ball 3 in the maze slot 12. Players can adjust the metal slider 171 according to the target end point to find the movement path of the metal ball 3 to reach the target end point. The entire game process exercises the player's brain thinking ability and hand-eye coordination, enhancing the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the metal balls 3 are of various colors. After launch, the metal balls 3 scatter within the maze groove 12. Players categorize the metal balls 3 according to their colors and use the first driving component 7 to drive each metal ball 3 along the maze groove 12 into different first collection slots 1211c and / or second collection slots 1212c. During the game, players need to determine the correspondence between each color of the metal ball 3 and the first collection slot 1211c or second collection slot 1212c, then determine the path for each metal ball 3 to enter the corresponding collection slot, and then use the first driving component 7 to drive the metal balls 3 to move. In the above game process, players find the correct path and manipulate the metal balls 3 to enter different collection slots, which exercises the player's brain thinking ability and hand-eye coordination, further enriches the game mode of the magnetic maze toy, and enhances the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, a mounting part 19 is provided at the bottom edge of the base 1. A connector 20 is vertically rotatably mounted on the mounting part 19. A support leg 23 is provided at the end of the connector 20 away from the mounting part 19, and the top surface of the support leg 23 is flush with the upper surface of the connector 20. In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting part 19 is a fixing nut, and protrusions 191 are provided on both sides of the screw head of the fixing nut. The fixing nut is fixed to the bottom of the bottom shell 1a. The connector 20 consists of two connecting rods 201. The support leg 23 is fixedly mounted at one end of the two connecting rods 201, and the other end of the two connecting rods 201 is provided with a through hole 202 that matches the protrusion 191. The connector 20 composed of the two connecting rods 201 is clamped on the screw head of the fixing nut. The protrusion 191 is inserted into the through hole 202. Rotating the support leg 23 causes the connecting rod 201 to rotate relative to the protrusion 191.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 is rectangular, and there are two support legs 23. Both support legs 23 are mounted on one long side of the bottom of the rectangular base shell 1a. When the connecting piece 20 is rotated and its upper surface is in contact with the bottom surface of the base 1, the support legs 23 are located below the base 1. Figure 9 As shown. When the lower surface of the connector 20 is in contact with the bottom of the base 1, the support leg 23 is located on the outside of the base 1, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. By rotating the connector 20 to adjust the support leg 23, the tilt angle of the magnetic maze toy can be adjusted. By adding the tilt angle parameter, not only can the rolling power of the metal ball 3 in the diversion groove 15 be enhanced, preventing the metal ball 3 from being blocked by the cylinder 151 and stopping in the diversion groove 15, but the difficulty of the player to control the metal ball 3 can also be increased, thereby enhancing the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0042] The working process of this utility model is as follows: the first driving member 7 drives the first metal ball 3 to the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22. The magnetic attractor 21 attracts the first metal ball 3 to accelerate along the main groove 121 and hit the launcher 2 through magnetic force. The kinetic energy of the first metal ball 3 is transferred to the second metal ball 3 located at the second end of the launch channel 22 through the magnet block and the third metal ball 3. The second metal ball 3 overcomes the magnetic attraction force applied to it by the magnet block and accelerates out along the launch channel 22. The second metal ball 3 rolls along the main groove 121 or rolls into the branch groove. After launch, the first driving component 7 magnetically attracts the second magnetic component 411, and drives the slider 43 to slide along the first sliding groove 14, thereby driving the rotating component 42 to rotate. The metal ball 3 in the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22 is attracted to the magnetic block under the action of the magnetic block, and the metal ball 3 is located in the through groove 422 near the first end of the launch channel 2 on the launch component 2. The rotating component 42 transports the metal ball 3 to the main groove 121 at the second end of the launch channel 22. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block, the metal ball 3 is sucked into the launch channel 22, completing the replenishment of the metal ball 3 to be launched. Then, the first driving component 7 drives a metal ball 3 to roll along the main groove 121 and enter a tooth groove of the gear 161. The metal ball 3 is controlled to drive the gear 161 to rotate so that the tooth groove where the metal ball 3 is located connects to the main groove 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22. After the metal ball 3 is released, the metal ball 3 accelerates and impacts the launch component 2 under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction component 21 to start a new round of launch process.

[0043] In summary, this embodiment of the invention provides a magnetic maze toy. A first driving component 7 drives a first metal ball 3 to move along the main groove 121. When the ball reaches a point near the first end of the launch channel 22, the magnetic attractor 21 drives the first metal ball 3 to collide with the launcher 2. The launcher 2 then accelerates and launches a second metal ball 3 located within the launch channel 22. The second metal ball 3 rolls along the main groove 121 or into a branch groove. The collision of the metal ball 3 with the launcher 2 and the acceleration of the metal ball 3 within the launch channel 22 both create a strong visual impact, stimulating the player's excitement and enjoyment, and enhancing their interest. Simultaneously, the launched metal ball 3 enters a maze with multiple branches and endpoints, randomly falling into different maze grooves 12. This unpredictability further enhances the player's interest.

[0044] After this round of launches, the player needs to use the adjusting component 4 to transport the metal ball that impacts the launcher 2 to the main slot 121 at the second end of the launch channel 22, allowing it to enter the launch channel 22 to replenish the launch balls. Then, the first driving component 7 uses the metal ball 3 that has fallen into each slot to return along the maze slot 12 to the main slot 121 near the first end of the launch channel 22, for use in the next round of launches to impact the launcher 2. The forward path of the launched metal ball 3 is random, and the destination of the metal ball 3 is random, so the path of the metal ball 3 back to the main slot 121 that impacts the launcher 2 is not unique each time. This means that the entire loop path of the metal ball 3 from the second end of the launch channel 22 to the first end of the launch channel 22 is different each time. Even after multiple games, the player is still experiencing a completely new path. This solves the technical problem in the existing technology where players easily memorize the operation methods and maze routes to master the solution after playing the game several times, reducing the game difficulty and worsening the player experience.

[0045] By setting cylinders 151 within the diversion channel 15, the channel 15 is divided into multiple paths. The metal ball 3, entering the channel 15, moves along different paths, eventually entering different sections. The movement routes of the metal ball 3 are unpredictable, increasing the randomness of the game and enhancing the fun of the magnetic maze toy. Simultaneously, this embodiment also incorporates the traditional game mode of controlling the metal ball 3 to reach the maze's endpoint. The first driving component 7 drives the metal slider 171 to slide into the first blind slot 1211a or the second blind slot 1212a, closing part of the channel and altering and restricting the movement path of the metal ball 3 within the maze slot 12. Players can adjust the metal slider 171 according to the target endpoint to find the path for the metal ball 3 to reach the target endpoint. The entire game process exercises the player's brain thinking ability and hand-eye coordination, enhancing the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0046] The metal balls 3 in this embodiment of the invention are of various colors. After being launched, the metal balls 3 scatter in the maze groove 12. Players sort the metal balls 3 according to their colors and drive each metal ball 3 along the maze groove 12 into different first collection grooves 1211c and / or second collection grooves 1212c through the first driving component 7. This exercises the player's brain thinking ability and hand-eye coordination, further enriches the game mode of the magnetic maze toy, and enhances the fun of the magnetic maze toy.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
