Each of the panels comprises a plurality of magnetic connectors, each of which encloses a respective spherical magnet therein. Some of the magnetic connectors are located at the corners of each panel, so as to enable magnetic connection between a first panel and a second panel via the spherical magnets within each of the connectors when the first panel is adjacently disposed relative to the second panel at an angle equal to or greater than 0 degrees.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to modular assembly panels for constructing spaces and space partitions. Background Technology

[0002] Children love to create their own play spaces. To build such spaces, children use sheets, pillows, and any furniture available in their home, such as chairs, tables, and sofas. These homemade "fortresses," "castles," or "houses" often take up a lot of space and are cluttered, making it difficult for other family members to use the room for their own needs.

[0003] In addition, partitions made of lightweight materials such as drywall or even wood panels are sometimes used to divide a room into smaller sections for different designated areas within the room. Drywall or wood panels may not be as sturdy, especially when several boards are needed to assemble a relatively large partition.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide user-friendly, easy-to-assemble modular assembly panels that enable children to build their own play spaces and can even be used as partitions within rooms or other spaces. These modular assembly panels should also be easy to disassemble and store, without taking up significant space during use or storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] One aspect of embodiments of this disclosure relates to a plurality of assembly plates that can be easily connected to each other and provide stability, while also providing easy disconnection from each other.

[0006] Typically, these boards are made from materials that are both soft and strong to provide stability while being suitable for young children. The materials from which the assembly boards are made are often natural and may be recyclable.

[0007] The assembly panel disclosed herein has an attractive appearance, can be easily stored with minimal space requirements, and offers an unlimited range of assembly options.

[0008] This disclosure provides multiple modular assembly panels for creating space. The modular assembly panels include multiple flat plates made of a polymer fiber material such as polyester staple fiber. In some embodiments, each flat plate includes multiple magnetic connectors, each magnetic connector encapsulating a corresponding spherical magnet therein. In some embodiments, the magnetic connectors are located at the corners of each flat plate so that when a first flat plate is placed at an angle adjacent to a second flat plate, a magnetic connection between the first and second flat plates is achieved via the spherical magnet within each magnetic connector, the angle being equal to or greater than 0 degrees.

[0009] Optionally, the assembly panel also includes a foldable panel made of polymer fiber materials such as polyester staple fiber. In some embodiments, the foldable panel may include at least one foldable region comprising a plurality of parallel cuts extending from one end to the opposite end along the vertical axis of the foldable panel, thereby creating parallel vertical segments. The depth of the plurality of parallel cuts is less than the overall thickness of the foldable panel, such that the parallel segments remain connected on the side of the foldable panel opposite to the side where the cuts were made. In some embodiments, the foldable panel can be interchanged between a flat-shaped panel and different curved panels by changing the position of the parallel vertical segments of at least one foldable region relative to each other.

[0010] In some embodiments, each foldable plate includes multiple magnetic connectors, each encapsulating a corresponding spherical magnet. In some embodiments, the magnetic connectors are located at the corners of each foldable plate to achieve a magnetic connection between the first and second plates, whereby the first and second plates are flat, foldable, or any combination thereof. When the first plate is positioned adjacent to the second plate at an angle, the magnetic connection is achieved via the spherical magnet within each magnetic connector, the angle of which may be equal to or greater than 0 degrees.

[0011] In some embodiments, the assembly board may include additional magnetic connectors that encapsulate spherical magnets, located at additional locations along the periphery of the assembly board, such as between magnetic connectors at the corners of the board, and at the apex of the arch when the board includes an arch.

[0012] In some embodiments, the magnetic connector includes two parts, a first part including a flat surface with a designated space for a spherical magnet and at least one protruding recess attached to the flat surface, and a second part including a flat surface with at least one corresponding protruding convex attachment, such that when the second part is connected to the first part, the spherical magnet is encapsulated within the magnetic connector, and the magnetic connector has flat surfaces on both sides of the magnetic connector.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least one protruding concave mating member and at least one convex mating member are cylindrical.

[0014] In some implementations, the designated space for the spherical magnet tightly surrounds the spherical magnet, or the designated space is elongated so that the spherical magnet can move along the elongated designated space and thus change its position along the designated space.

[0015] In some embodiments, the flat plate has a height between 60 cm and 100 cm, a width between 20 cm and 70 cm, and a thickness between 12 mm and 24 mm.

[0016] In some embodiments, the foldable panel has a height between 60cm and 100cm, a width between 20cm and 70cm, and a thickness between 12mm and 24mm.

[0017] In some embodiments, the polyester staple fiber can be PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] According to this disclosure, multiple modular assembly panels can be provided for constructing play areas for children and for dividing spaces or rooms into smaller zones. Modular assembly panels or groups of modular assembly panels can include panels of various shapes, some having flat surfaces, while others may have a combination of flat surface areas and foldable areas, and some panels may be fully foldable. Foldable panels may contain slots or cuts that extend through the thickness of the panel but do not penetrate to opposite ends. The depth of the cuts is less than the thickness of the foldable panel. Accordingly, foldable panels may contain multiple parallel cuts, thereby creating multiple parallel segments along the vertical axis of the panel on one side, while the parallel segments remain connected to each other on the side opposite to the side where the cuts are made. Thus, the cuts allow each of the parallel segments to be angled relative to adjacent parallel segments to achieve a semi-circular shape, such as a semi-circular roof or semi-circular space divider. When the foldable panel is not folded, it can create a flat surface, for example, when the parallel segments are positioned at 0 degrees or substantially 0 degrees to each other. While the unfolded state of a foldable panel may be easier to store, in some cases, the folded state may be more suitable for storage.

[0031] The size of the board should ensure that it allows a child shorter than the board to sit inside the assembled board, for example, when the child is sitting on the floor next to the assembled board, or when they are standing—if the child is short enough. The thickness of the board is important for the stability of the assembled board so that once two boards are joined to each other at an angle equal to or greater than 0 degrees, the board can be placed in an upright position without collapsing.

[0032] When used as a space divider, the height of the panel can be greater than that required when used with children. The width of the panel can also be greater than that required when used with children. In some implementations, for example, when used as a space divider (although not only for this purpose), the panels can be stacked one by one and magnetically connected to create a taller panel.

[0033] A magnet can be used to connect the assembly boards of this disclosure, enabling quick and easy connection and disconnection. The magnets of this disclosure are preferably spherical, allowing them to rotate freely and adjust their position relative to adjacent spherical magnets, ensuring magnetic attraction rather than magnetic repulsion between the two magnets even if they are not perfectly aligned. In this way, regardless of which board is connected to which other board, and regardless of the angle at which they are positioned relative to each other, the free rotation of the spherical magnets (as explained below within their magnetic connectors) will ensure that the boards are always connected by strong magnetic attraction.

[0034] Now for reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic front perspective view of an example of an assembled assembly of the board assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an enlarged front perspective view of the assembled panel assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The assembled panel assembly 100 may include a plurality of panels of different shapes, some of which may be rectangular, such as panels 102, 104, 106, 108, and 118, while others may be rectangular with arched tops, such as panel 116. Some panels may include foldable areas, such as panel 110, which includes a flat surface area 110A and a foldable area 110B, while some panels may be fully foldable, such as panel 112.

[0035] Each assembly board includes magnetic connectors 200 disposed at at least one corner of each assembly board (e.g., for each board 102 and for all boards of the modular assembly board group 100, as shown). In some embodiments, additional magnetic connectors may be disposed along the perimeter of the board, for example, between the magnetic connectors located at the corners of the board. The longer the edge of the board, whether in length or width, the more magnetic connectors can be implemented therein. As detailed below, the magnetic connectors 200 can be of one of two types.

[0036] In some embodiments, the foldable plate 112 and the semi-foldable plate 110 may have a rectangular shape in their folded state, and may have various foldable shapes. These plates 110 and 112 may include magnetic connectors located at the corners of these plates—the corners are considered to be the corners of these plates in their folded state.

[0037] In the case of assembling board 116, magnetic connectors 200 are positioned at each of the four corners of the rectangular portion of board 116, with two magnetic connectors 200 along a region where the rectangle becomes an arch. Additional magnetic connectors 200 may be positioned at the top or apex of the arch. As detailed below, such connectors 201 may resemble either of the two types of magnetic connectors.

[0038] In the case of a substantially fully foldable assembly plate 112, plate 112 may include magnetic connectors 200 located at each corner of plate 112. In some embodiments, plate 112 may include additional magnetic connectors 211 between the magnetic connectors 200 located at the corners. The number of intervening magnetic connectors 211 may depend on the length and / or width of plate 112. Figures 1-2 In the example shown, board 112 includes two magnetic connectors 211 located between “corner” magnetic connectors 200, but other numbers of magnetic connectors 211 may also be implemented.

[0039] In some embodiments, the plate 112 may also include a magnetic connector 213 located at the center of the plate 112 along the vertical axis of the plate 112.

[0040] In some implementations, different assembly panels may include openings of different shapes, which may be made for aesthetic reasons and to allow airflow through the openings. Such openings are beneficial for allowing airflow when modular assembly panels create enclosed spaces.

[0041] For example, plate 102 includes a rectangular opening 122 with an arcuate top, and plate 104 may include a rectangular opening 124 with an arcuate top, which is larger than opening 122. Additional examples of openings can be seen in plate 110 (which includes a circular opening 120 located in its flat area 110A) and in plates 106, 108, 116, and 118 (which may include different numbers and different arrangements of small openings 126, 128, 136, and 138). These openings may be smaller than the circular opening 120 of the arched openings 112 and 124. These openings 126, 128, 136, and 138 may be rhomboid, but other shapes, sizes, and arrangements may be implemented for each of the various openings of the assembled plates.

[0042] Each board in board assembly 100 may have one or more openings of substantially any shape and size (smaller than the surface area of ​​each board, i.e., smaller than the length and width of the board). Each opening may exist anywhere along the board, as long as the opening is located at a certain distance from all edges of the board.

[0043] Now for reference Figures 3A-3B Accordingly, these are schematic diagrams of semi-foldable and foldable assembly panels in different layouts according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3A As shown, in some embodiments, the semi-foldable panel 110 may include a flat region 110A and a foldable region 110B. The flat region 110A includes a flat surface, while the foldable region 110B includes a plurality of parallel cuts 310 extending along the vertical axis of the semi-foldable panel 110 from one end of the panel 110 to opposite ends, thereby creating parallel vertical segments 320. Each segment 320 is created between two adjacent parallel cuts 310. The depth of the plurality of parallel cuts 310 is less than the overall thickness of the semi-foldable panel 110, such that the parallel segments 320 remain connected at the side 330 of the foldable panel opposite the side in which the cuts 310 are made.

[0044] According to some embodiments, the semi-foldable panel 110 can be interchanged between a completely flat panel and different curved panels by changing the position of the parallel vertical sections 320 of the foldable region 110B relative to each other.

[0045] like Figure 3BAs shown, in some embodiments, the foldable panel 112 may include foldable parallel sections 322 along its vertical axis, and may also have a central section 314 located in the middle of the foldable panel 112. The foldable panel 112 includes a plurality of parallel cuts 312 extending along the vertical axis of the foldable panel 112 from one end of the panel 112 to opposite ends of the panel, thereby creating parallel vertical sections 322. Each section 322 is created between two adjacent parallel cuts 312. The depth of the plurality of parallel cuts 312 is less than the overall thickness of the foldable panel 112, such that the parallel sections 322 remain connected to the side 332 of the foldable panel opposite to the side in which the cuts 312 are made.

[0046] According to some implementations, the foldable plate 112 can be interchanged between a completely flat plate and different curved plates by changing the position of the parallel vertical sections 322 relative to each other, so as to even create a closed circular shape 340.

[0047] Now for reference Figures 4A-4C Accordingly, it is a schematic diagram of a front top perspective view, a rear top perspective view, and a rear view of another assembled example of an assembly plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 4A-4C Another option among several options for arranging the modular assembly panel group 100 is illustrated schematically. In this example, not all assembly panels are shown. As shown, some panels (e.g., panel 106) can be positioned and connected to adjacent panels (e.g., panel 104) such that their longitudinal axes are rotated 90 degrees so that they become the transverse axis of that panel. That is, each assembly panel can be rotated 90 degrees before being connected to an adjacent panel, typically on either side of the rotated panel.

[0048] Now for reference Figures 5A-5D Accordingly, this is a schematic diagram of a rear top perspective view, a right front top perspective view, a left front top perspective view, and a rear view of another assembled example of an assembly plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 5A-5D The illustration shows yet another example of the multiple options for arranging modular assembly panels 100. Figures 5A-5D The illustration shows an option to place a board perpendicular to another board. For example, board 108 can be placed perpendicular to board 106 before being attached to another board that will provide support to hold board 108 in place.

[0049] It should be understood that any board of the modular assembly board group 100 can be placed at different angles and orientations relative to any other adjacent board to which it is connected via magnetic connectors.

[0050] Now for reference Figures 6A-6DAccordingly, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, there are schematic diagrams of a top perspective view of a disassembled magnetic connector, a top left perspective view of one of the parts of a disassembled magnetic connector, a top perspective view of an assembled connector, and a side perspective view of an assembled magnetic connector illustrating the position of a spherical magnet encapsulated within the magnetic connector.

[0051] like Figures 6A-6D As shown, connector 200 may include two portions 200A and 200B. In some embodiments, portion 200A may include a flat surface 210 with a designated space 202 within which a spherical magnet 250 can be placed and rotated freely. The designated space 202 may be in the shape of a circular recess surrounded by a wall 262, the height of which is slightly longer than the diameter of the spherical magnet 250. Spherical magnets can be used to ensure that the spherical magnets encapsulated within the corresponding magnetic connectors attract each other regardless of the angle at which the two assembly plates are placed relative to each other. The spherical magnet 250 can rotate freely within the designated space 202, thereby adjusting its position relative to adjacent spherical magnets to ensure magnetic attraction between two adjacent spherical magnets encapsulated within the respective magnetic connectors.

[0052] In some embodiments, portion 200A may further include at least one protruding recess 204 that protrudes from the flat surface 210. At least one protruding recess 204 may be a component of connector portion 200A. Figure 6A In the example shown, at least one protruding recess 204 includes two protruding recess 204, but other numbers may also be implemented.

[0053] Part 200A may also include a wall 206 perpendicular to surface 210 and which may act as a cover for the inner wall 216 of the second part 200B. Once part 200A is attached to part 200B, the vertical wall 206 is positioned parallel to the inner wall 216, and because the inner wall 216 does not reach the edge of surface 220 and is positioned slightly inward along surface 220 to leave space for the wall 206 to abut against surface 220, the wall 206 rests against the edge of the flat surface 220 of the second part 200B. Thus, the wall 206 is effectively a visible outer wall across the thickness of the assembly plate containing the magnetic connector 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the inner wall 216 may include an opening 226 configured to receive a protrusion 236 projecting from the wall 206 of the second portion 200A. The positions of the protrusions 236 correspond to the positions of the openings 226, such that each protrusion 236 is inserted into the corresponding opening 226 to lock the second portion 200A to the first portion 200B. In some embodiments, the magnetic connector 200 may include aesthetic recesses, such as recesses 240, 242, and 244.

[0055] According to some embodiments, the second portion of the magnetic connector 200, namely portion 200B, may include a flat surface 220 having at least one protruding mating member 214 attached to the flat surface 220. Figure 6A In the example shown, at least one convex mating member 214 includes two convex mating members 214, but other numbers may also be implemented. At least one convex mating member 214 may correspond to at least one concave mating member 204.

[0056] In some embodiments, portion 200B may include a notch 212. The notch 212 corresponds to a designated space 202 in portion 200A, such that when portion 200A is connected to portion 200B, the spherical magnet 250 is encapsulated between the notch 212 and the recess in the designated space 202.

[0057] According to some embodiments, when the second portion 200B is connected to the first portion 200A, the spherical magnet 250 is encapsulated within the magnetic connector 200. Furthermore, after the connection of portions 200A and 200B, the magnetic connector 200 may have flat surfaces on both sides, for example, the outer side of the flat surface 210 on one side of the magnetic connector 200, and the outer side of the flat surface 220 on the opposite side of the magnetic connector 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, at least one protruding recessed mating member 204 and at least one protruding convex mating member 214 are cylindrical. The recessed mating member 204 may include a groove into which the corresponding convex mating member 214 is inserted to provide a snap-fit ​​connection between the two mating members, which tightly connects the convex mating member to the recessed mating member. The connection between the two mating members locks the magnetic connector 200 to an assembly plate, wherein a portion of the assembly plate is sandwiched between portions 200A and 200B of the magnetic connector 200. In some embodiments, the assembly plate is perforated to include holes through which the recessed and convex mating members can pass, and thus, once connected to each other, the assembly plate can be tightly held between the recessed and convex mating members, and therefore between the two portions 200A and 200B of the magnetic connector 200.

[0059] Now for reference Figures 7A-7D Accordingly, based on embodiments of the present disclosure, there are top perspective views of the second disassembled magnetic connector, top left perspective views of one of the parts of the disassembled magnetic connector, top perspective views of the second assembled magnetic connector, and side perspective views of the second assembled magnetic connector illustrating the position of the spherical magnet encapsulated within the second magnetic connector.

[0060] like Figures 7A-7D As shown, connector 700 may include two parts, 700A and 700B. In some embodiments, part 700A may include a flat surface 710 with a designated space 702 in which a spherical magnet 250 may be placed. The designated space 702 may be in the shape of an elongated recess, wherein the circular end is surrounded by a wall 762, the height of which is slightly longer than the diameter of the spherical magnet 250. The elongated designated space 702 allows the spherical magnet 250 to rotate freely within and move freely along the elongated designated space 702 when it is magnetically attracted by another spherical magnet located in a different adjacent magnetic connector. The position of the spherical magnet 250 along the elongated or tunnel-like designated space 702 may be determined by the position of the other spherical magnet—when the two magnets are magnetically attracted, or when two assembly plates are placed next to each other with their corresponding magnetic connectors in contact. The spherical magnet 250 can rotate freely within and move freely along the elongated designated space 702, thereby adjusting the position of the regulator relative to adjacent spherical magnets to ensure magnetic attraction between two adjacent spherical magnets encapsulated within their respective magnetic connectors.

[0061] Spherical magnets can be used to ensure that the spherical magnets encapsulated in their respective magnetic connectors will attract each other regardless of the angle at which the two assembly boards are placed relative to each other.

[0062] In some embodiments, portion 700A may further include at least one protruding recess 704 that protrudes from the flat surface 710. The at least one recess 704 may be a component of connector portion 700A. Figure 7A In the example shown, at least one protruding recess 704 includes two protruding recesses 704, but other numbers may also be implemented.

[0063] Part 700A may also include a wall 706 perpendicular to surface 710 and serving as a cover for the inner wall 716 of the second part 700B. Once part 700A is attached to part 700B, the vertical wall 706 is positioned parallel to the inner wall 716, and because the inner wall 716 does not reach the edge of surface 720 and is positioned slightly inward along surface 720 to leave space for the wall 706 to abut against surface 720, the wall 706 rests against the edge of the flat surface 720 of the second part 700B. Thus, the wall 706 is effectively a visible outer wall across the thickness of the assembly plate containing the magnetic connector 700.

[0064] In some embodiments, the inner wall 716 may include an opening 726 configured to receive a protrusion 736 projecting from the wall 706 of the second portion 700A. The position of the protrusion 736 corresponds to the position of the opening 726, such that each protrusion 736 is inserted into the corresponding opening 726 to lock the second portion 700A to the first portion 700B. In some embodiments, the magnetic connector 700 may include aesthetic recesses, such as recesses 740 and 742.

[0065] According to some embodiments, the second portion of the magnetic connector 200, namely portion 700B, may include a flat surface 720 having at least one corresponding protruding mating member 714 attached to the flat surface 720. Figure 7A In the example shown, at least one convex mating member 712 includes two convex mating members 714, but other numbers may also be implemented. At least one convex mating member 714 may correspond to at least one concave mating member 704.

[0066] In some embodiments, portion 700B may include a notch 712. The notch 712 corresponds to a designated elongated designated space 702 in portion 700A, such that when portion 700A is connected to portion 700B, the spherical magnet 250 is enclosed between the notch 712 and the elongated recess of the elongated designated space 702.

[0067] According to some embodiments, when the second portion 700B is connected to the first portion 700A, the spherical magnet 250 is encapsulated within the magnetic connector 700. Furthermore, after the connection of portions 700A and 700B, the magnetic connector 700 may have flat surfaces on all two sides, for example, the outer side of a flat surface 710 on one side of the magnetic connector 700, and the outer side of a flat surface 720 on the opposite side of the magnetic connector 700.

[0068] In some embodiments, at least one protruding recessed mating member 704 and at least one protruding convex mating member 714 are cylindrical. The recessed mating member 704 may include a groove into which the corresponding convex mating member 714 is inserted to provide a snap-fit ​​connection between the two mating members, which tightly connects the convex mating member to the recessed mating member. The connection between the two mating members locks the magnetic connector 700 to an assembly plate, wherein a portion of the assembly plate is sandwiched between portions 700A and 700B of the magnetic connector 700. In some embodiments, the assembly plate is perforated to include holes through which the recessed and convex mating members can pass, and thus, once connected to each other, the assembly plate can be tightly held between the recessed and convex mating members, and therefore between the two portions 700A and 700B of the magnetic connector 700.

[0069] In some embodiments, the positions of at least one concave mating member and at least one convex mating member of either magnetic connector 200 or magnetic connector 700 can be any position along their corresponding flat surfaces. It should be noted that connectors 200 and 700 are merely examples of other similar magnetic connectors. It should also be noted that the size of magnetic connector 200, magnetic connector 700, or any other similar magnetic connector can be determined by the size of the assembly board to which it is connected.

[0070] In some embodiments, the designated space for the spherical magnet 250 tightly surrounds the spherical magnet 250 (as in the magnetic connector 200) while allowing the spherical magnet to rotate freely within the designated space, or the designated space is elongated (as in the magnetic connector 700) so that the spherical magnet 250 can rotate freely within the elongated designated space and move freely along the elongated designated space, thereby changing its position along the designated space.

[0071] Now for reference Figures 8-11 The illustration depicts the stages of preparing a magnetic connector and attaching the magnetic connector to an assembly board according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 This is an enlarged view of two corners of two adjacent assembly boards according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, illustrating material cuts made at the corners to prepare for two types of connectors. Examples of the two assembly boards could be boards 116 and 118, but the description below applies to all boards in group 100. Several operations are required to attach a magnetic connector (e.g., magnetic connector 200 or magnetic connector 700) to any assembly board.

[0072] The first operation is Figure 8The diagram illustrates, and includes, drilling holes at the corners of assembly plates 116 and 118, or at any other location where the magnetic connector should be attached. A hole 802 in plate 116 may include cutting away an area of ​​the assembly plate. The shape of the cut corresponds to the shape of the magnetic connector. The perforation also includes cutting at least one hole 814 configured to allow at least one male mating element (e.g., a male mating element of the magnetic connector 700) to pass through it. In the illustrated example, two holes 814 are punched in plate 116.

[0073] Similarly, holes are punched in board 118 to remove areas of board 118 from the board. The shape of the cut corresponds to the shape of the magnetic connector. Punching also includes cutting at least one hole 824. The at least one hole 824 is configured to allow at least one male mating member (e.g., a male mating member of the magnetic connector 200) to pass through it. In the illustrated example, two holes 824 are punched in board 118.

[0074] Now for reference Figure 9 This is a schematic enlarged view of two corners of two adjacent assembly plates according to an embodiment of the invention, illustrating material calendering at the corners for preparing two types of connectors. In some embodiments, the operation following the punching of the plate material is to calender some of the punched areas. Calendering is performed on the assembly plates where the edges of the magnetic connectors are attached to the assembly plates (e.g., where the periphery of the magnetic connectors is to be placed). Calendering results in a plate thickness less than the overall plate thickness. This is to ensure that once the magnetic connectors are joined so that all two parts snap together, they are flush with the surface of the entire assembly plate. This is illustrated, for example, by regions 832 and 834, which have a smaller thickness compared to the overall thickness of the assembly plate.

[0075] Now for reference Figure 10 This is a schematic enlarged view of two corners of two adjacent assembly plates according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating the attachment of the first portion of each of two types of connectors at the corners of the assembly plates. Figure 10 As shown, after calendering, one of the two portions of the magnetic connector is attached to the assembly plate to cover one of the sides of the assembly plate with its flat surface, and at least one male mating member is inserted into its corresponding hole punched in the assembly plate. For example, portion 700B of the magnetic connector 700 can be positioned against one side of the assembly plate 116 such that one or more male mating members 714 are inserted into one or more holes 814. Similarly, portion 200B can be positioned against one side of the assembly plate 118 such that one or more male mating members 214 are inserted into one or more holes 824.

[0076] Now for reference Figure 11 This is a schematic enlarged view of two corners of two adjacent assembly plates according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, illustrating the attachment of the second closed portion of each of the two types of assemblies at the corner of the assembly plate. After one of the two parts of the magnetic connector is placed, the second part is then connected to the first part. The concave mating part of the second part is engaged with the corresponding convex mating part of the first part of the magnetic connector to create a permanent, tight connection. Figure 11 The illustration shows a magnetic connector flush with the surface of the entire assembly board. For example, the second portion 700A of magnetic connector 700 is tightly connected to the first portion 700B, and magnetic connector 700 is now flush with the surface of board 116. Similarly, the second portion 200A of magnetic connector 200 is tightly connected to the first portion 200B, and magnetic connector 200 is now flush with the surface of board 118.

[0077] In some embodiments, the flat plates of the modular assembly panel group 100 (e.g., plates 102, 104, 106, 108, 116, and 118) may have a height between 60 cm and 100 cm, a width between 20 cm and 70 cm, and a thickness between 12 mm and 24 mm.

[0078] In some embodiments, the foldable panels (e.g., semi-foldable panels 110 and foldable panels 112) may have a height between 60 cm and 100 cm, a width between 20 cm and 70 cm, and a thickness between 12 mm and 24 mm.

[0079] According to some embodiments, each modular assembly panel can be made of polyester staple fiber. In some embodiments, the polyester staple fiber is PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

[0080] In some embodiments, the polyester staple fiber may contain at least one coloring pigment, but a wider variety of coloring pigments may also be used. In other embodiments, the natural color of the polyester staple fiber may be used.

[0081] In some embodiments, the polyester staple fiber may contain flame-retardant substances as a coating on the surface of the assembly panel, or incorporated into the material.

[0082] In some embodiments, the assembly panels of the modular assembly panel assembly 100 may include attachments. Attachments may be configured to be attached to the panels at various locations along the assembly panel. Attachments may include lighting devices (such as lamps), speakers (e.g., for playing music), mirrors, hooks, flags, and any other accessories, which may be functional or purely aesthetically pleasing for decorative purposes.
