Description

MODULAR WITH CHAINED INDUCTIVE ENERGY TRANSFER GAME BLOCK TECHNICAL FIELD This invention encompasses modular toy systems, contactless energy transfer technologies, and inductive power. It is related to transmission systems. The invention specifically utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction between multiple modular game blocks. enabling contactless energy transfer, and each module can both receive and transmit energy. a modular system that includes an inductive energy transmission architecture capable of transferring energy to the next module It includes a game block structure. The system in question allows for energy transfer between modules from a single source. It is not limited to transmission to the module, but instead is transmitted sequentially and continuously between modules. It offers a chain-revolution energy transmission structure that can be implemented. STATE OF THE ART Contactless energy transfer systems operate based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. These are technologies widely used, especially in portable electronic devices. In these systems, energy is transferred through an electromagnetic field created by a transmitting coil. The signal is transmitted to the receiver coil. In current technical solutions, inductive energy transfer is usually "point-to-point". (point) structure. In such systems, energy is transferred directly from a main transmitter unit to a single receiver unit. The signal is transmitted, and each receiving element must be directly aligned with the power source. In solutions used particularly in modular toy systems, energy is often a base. The power is transferred from the unit or a constant energy source to the modules, and each module receives this power. It is nourished independently of the source. 1 5 In various applications described in the patent literature, the modules are generally only energy receivers. It is configured as a receiver. In contrast, it functions as an energy transmitter (transmitter). It is mostly limited to a fixed unit or an external energy source. Therefore a structure that allows direct energy transfer between modules in existing systems It is not available. In addition, in existing inductive systems, energy transfer must be carried out efficiently. The transmitter and receiver coils must be positioned in a specific alignment. This situation is relevant in modular toy systems in terms of block structures that can be connected in different directions. It constitutes a limitation. Some examples of multi-hop inductive energy transfer in industrial applications. Although solutions exist, these systems generally have fixed geometries and are high-performance. requiring precision and directly applicable to modular toy systems. These are non-modular structures. In these solutions, the energy transfer architecture is independent of mechanical modularity. It is designed in this way and user interaction is not taken into consideration. Therefore, in the current state of the art; • No direct energy transfer between modules, • Each module can be configured as either a receiver only or a transmitter only, • the transfer of energy depends on a fixed source, • and a system that enables direction-independent energy transmission in modular structures absence There are technical limitations such as these. Therefore, in modular toy blocks, each module is both capable of receiving and transmitting energy. energy transfer between modules with a structure that can transfer energy to the next module A new technical solution is needed that can be implemented in a chain reaction. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The purpose of this invention is to provide contactless energy transfer for use in modular toy systems. the development of their structures and energy transmission between modules from only a single source An inductive energy transfer that eliminates the limitation of being limited to a module of 2 or 5. The goal is to provide the system. In current modular toy systems, energy transfer typically occurs from a stationary energy source. It is limited to a point-to-point transmission structure implemented directly to a module, and the modules There is no structure that allows for energy sharing between them. This situation makes modular This limits the scalability of systems and restricts access to energy to only the energy source. It restricts itself to modules that are in direct contact. Furthermore, in current solutions, modules are usually only energy receivers or only energy transmitters. It is structured as a modular system capable of performing both functions simultaneously. This is not the case. This prevents direct energy transmission between the modules and This prevents the creation of an energy distribution architecture that is compatible with the modular nature of the system. is happening. In this context, the aim of the invention is to create a system where each module can both receive inductive energy and convert the energy it receives. It is equipped with a structure that can transfer to the next module, thus allowing for sequential transfer between modules. The goal is to provide a chain-reaction inductive energy transmission system in which energy transfer can be achieved. Another aim of the invention is to transfer energy between modules using electromagnetic methods. Based on the induction principle, contactless operation, and modules in different directions. The goal is to create a structure that enables the connection to be made possible. The invention also involves the transfer of energy received through the energy redirection circuit located within the module. an active element that allows it to be used within the module and also passed on to the next module. It aims to provide a system that includes a power relay mechanism. In this way, in modular toy systems, energy can be transferred from one module to another via a bridge. to create a structure and obtain an energy transmission architecture that shows continuity throughout the modular structure. is being done.
