Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of educational Rubik's Cubes, and more particularly to educational Rubik's Cubes with protruding structures. [Background technology]
[0002] The educational Rubik's Cube is a mechanical educational toy that trains spatial awareness, logical thinking, and manual dexterity by rotating the cube back and forth between a confused and restored state. The rotation principle of the six-story Rubik's Cube is based on the "descending method," in which the center and edge pieces are combined to restore the cube to a larger three-story cube. However, prior art educational Rubik's Cubes lack distinct protrusions on each side, making them unsuitable for visually impaired users and ineffective to operate. This limits the user base and reduces usability. Furthermore, the lack of a structure for auxiliary rotation makes the cube prone to coming loose during the rotation process, resulting in reduced stability. To address these issues, the present invention provides an educational Rubik's Cube with protrusions. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides an educational Rubik's Cube with a protruding structure.
[0004] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical means.
[0005] An educational Rubik's Cube with a protrusion structure includes a Rubik's Cube body, which includes six center pieces and a plurality of edge pieces. Three support pillars are provided in the center of the six center pieces, and arc-shaped grooves are formed in the center pieces. A sliding tube is fitted onto each end of the support pillar, and the sliding tube is connected to the center piece. A buffer spring is fitted into the sliding tube. The edge pieces are connected via locking blocks, and arc-shaped rings are attached to the edge pieces.
[0006] In the above technical means, the center piece and edge pieces located on the front side of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with triangular protrusions, and the number of the triangular protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0007] In the above technical means, the center piece and the edge piece located at the rear side of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with an ellipsoid-shaped protrusion, and the number of the ellipsoid-shaped protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0008] In the above technical means, the center piece and edge piece located on the left side of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with a spherical protrusion, and the number of the spherical protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0009] In the above technical means, the center piece and edge piece located on the right side of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with a circular protrusion, and the number of the circular protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0010] In the above technical means, the center piece and edge pieces located at the top of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with rectangular protrusions, and the number of the rectangular protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0011] In the above technical means, the center piece and edge pieces located at the bottom of the Rubik's Cube body are each provided with a pentagonal protrusion, and the number of the pentagonal protrusions is 1 to 9.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This device has different protrusion structures on each side, which makes it suitable for use by visually impaired people, enables effective operation, improves the range of application and efficiency of use, and enables auxiliary rotation, making it less likely to come off during the rotation process and improving stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments, and all other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] As shown in Figures 1-6, the educational Rubik's Cube with protrusion structures according to the present invention includes a Rubik's Cube body 1. The Rubik's Cube body 1 includes six center pieces 101 and a plurality of edge pieces 102. Three support columns 104 are provided at the centers of the six center pieces 101. The center pieces 101 have arc-shaped grooves 105. Sliding tubes 103 are fitted onto both ends of the support columns 104. The sliding tubes 103 are connected to the center pieces 101. A buffer spring is fitted within the sliding tube 103. The edge pieces 102 are connected via locking blocks. Arc-shaped rings 5 are attached to the edge pieces 102.
[0018] In the above embodiment, the center piece 101 and edge pieces 102 located on the front side of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with triangular protrusions 2. The number of triangular protrusions 2 ranges from 1 to 9. The center piece 101 and edge pieces 102 located on the rear side of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with ellipsoidal protrusions 8. The number of ellipsoidal protrusions 8 ranges from 1 to 9. Providing different protrusion structures on each surface makes it suitable for use by visually impaired people, enables effective operation, and improves the range of application and usage efficiency.
[0019] In the above embodiment, the center piece 101 and the edge pieces 102 located on the left side of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with spherical protrusions 6. The number of spherical protrusions 6 ranges from 1 to 9. The center piece 101 and the edge pieces 102 located on the right side of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with circular protrusions 3. The number of circular protrusions 3 ranges from 1 to 9. The center piece 101 and the edge pieces 102 located at the top of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with rectangular protrusions 4. The number of rectangular protrusions 4 ranges from 1 to 9. The center piece 101 and the edge pieces 102 located at the bottom of the Rubik's Cube body 1 are each provided with pentagonal protrusions 7. The number of pentagonal protrusions 7 ranges from 1 to 9. This allows for auxiliary rotation, makes it less likely to come off during the rotation process, and improves stability.
[0020] Operating principle: During normal use, the six faces can be distinguished by their different colors. Meanwhile, visually impaired users can distinguish the six different faces by palpating the triangular protrusions 2, circular protrusions 3, rectangular protrusions 4, spherical protrusions 6, pentagonal protrusions 7, and ellipsoidal protrusions 8. Furthermore, the different numbers of protrusions on each face allow for identification of identical edge pieces 102. Providing different protrusion structures on each face makes the device adaptable to visually impaired users, enabling effective operation and improving application range and efficiency. Furthermore, when rotating, the arc-shaped ring 5 can be used to push and move the pieces for auxiliary rotation, making them less likely to come off during the rotation process and improving stability.
[0021] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of the utility model registration claims, rather than the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the utility model registration claims. Any reference numerals in the claims should not be considered as limiting claims.
[0022] It should be noted that although this specification is described according to embodiments, each embodiment does not include only one independent technical solution, and such descriptions in the specification are merely for clarity, and those skilled in the art may regard the specification as a whole and appropriately combine the technical solutions in each example to form other embodiments that are understandable to those skilled in the art.
