Description

A magnetic toy Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of children's toy technology, and in particular to a magnetic toy. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the increasing demands for quality of life, more and more attention has been paid to the upbringing of children, with most families prioritizing the intellectual development of young children. The market is flooded with various educational toys for early childhood development, such as magnetic building blocks.

[0003] Magnetic building blocks are toys made by assembling various magnetic tiles into different shapes. Children can use their imagination to create their own models based on the shapes of the tiles. However, most magnetic building blocks are currently non-detachable. This non-detachable design makes it difficult to determine the correct placement of the magnets, leading to misalignment during assembly and reducing playability.

[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art have studied detachable magnetic mounting structures. For example, a magnetic connector device disclosed in patent number CN2012104352960 on May 8, 2013, includes one or more magnetic housings, each housing including one or more magnets disposed therein, thereby rotating within the magnetic housing. The device can be configured to use one or more safety measures to prevent the magnets from being removed and / or approached. The device includes an inner retaining ring block connected to one or more magnetic housings, and a first outer housing block and a second outer housing block connected to the inner retaining ring block. The first outer housing block can be positioned on one side of the connector device, opposite to the second outer housing block, so that the inner retaining ring block can be located between the first and second outer housing blocks. After the first and second outer housing blocks are aligned, the inner retaining ring block is connected by a pin.

[0005] The shortcomings of existing technology are: the magnetic shell protrudes from the device, and when using pins or clips to connect the magnetic shell and the device, the magnetic shell is easily detached, posing a risk that the magnet may fall out and be swallowed by a young child. Furthermore, the connection point is exposed on the device surface, making it susceptible to damage and safety hazards. If screws or similar methods are used for fixation, the overall surface performance of the device is poor, making it easy to scratch a young child, also posing a safety hazard. Technical issues

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a magnetic toy with high anti-detachment performance of parts, good surface integrity, and improved safety performance of the magnetic toy.

[0007] Another objective of this invention is to improve the bonding ability of magnetic toys during assembly. Technical solutions

[0008] A magnetic toy includes a toy body and a mounting component. The mounting component is provided with a magnet and is mounted on the toy body so that at least a portion of the toy body has magnetic force. The mounting component includes a snap-fit ​​portion, and the toy body has a hollow portion. The snap-fit ​​portion snaps into the hollow portion to form a hidden setting and connect the toy body and the mounting component. The outer surface of the mounting component smoothly transitions with the surface of the toy body.

[0009] The mounting components contain magnets. When the mounting components are installed on the toy body, at least part of the toy body becomes magnetic. Different toy bodies can be connected by magnetism and combined into different shapes, which is beneficial for developing children's intelligence.

[0010] The mounting components and the toy body are connected by snap-fit ​​joints, which are convenient to use. The snap-fit ​​joints are hidden inside the hollowed-out parts, so they are not exposed and are not easy to separate. The magnetic toy has high anti-detachment performance.

[0011] The outer surface of the mounting components transitions smoothly with the surface of the toy body, without any sharp corners. The snap-fit ​​parts are hidden inside the hollowed-out parts, resulting in a good overall appearance for the magnetic toy, preventing scratches to young children and ensuring high safety.

[0012] Preferably, the locking direction of the snap-fit ​​part is collinear with the hollowing direction of the cutout part. In the locking direction, the snap-fit ​​part cannot be separated after snapping in that direction; it must enter the cutout part to snap into place. Separation of the snap-fit ​​part also requires it to detach from the cutout part. Because the locking direction of the snap-fit ​​part is collinear with the hollowing direction of the cutout part, the snap-fit ​​part is difficult to snap into and separate, resulting in high anti-detachment performance.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting assembly also includes a deformable component that provides displacement allowance for the snap-fit ​​portion to extend into the cutout portion and engage. The deformable component allows for adjustment of the snap-fit ​​portion's position, facilitating its snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the deformable part has a recessed portion to form a bendable section. The recessed portion reduces the strength of the deformable part at that location, making the position easier to bend, thereby allowing the locking part to rotate around the bendable section, achieving a definite positional adjustment of the locking part, and facilitating the locking part to extend into the hollowed-out section for locking.

[0015] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​portion includes a first snap-fit ​​portion and a second snap-fit ​​portion that snap together. The snap-fit ​​positions of the first and second snap-fit ​​portions are located within the hollow portion, and when snapped together, the mounting component hugs one side of the hollow portion. Molding the snap-fit ​​structure within the hollow portion requires high processing costs. This preferred snap-fit ​​portion includes a first and second snap-fit ​​portion that can snap together, which is easy to mold and has low molding costs. After the first and second snap-fit ​​portions snap together, the mounting component hugs one side of the hollow portion, achieving a reliable connection between the mounting component and the toy body.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a receiving member with a receiving cavity for accommodating the magnet. The receiving cavity has a mounting opening for the magnet to enter and exit. A first engaging portion and a second engaging portion are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening. When the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaged, the mounting opening is blocked. The magnet enters the receiving cavity through the mounting opening, making installation convenient. The magnet can be removed and reused. When the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaged within the hollow portion, the mounting assembly holds one side of the hollow portion tightly. The mounting opening is located between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, thus the mounting opening is blocked by one side of the hollow portion, preventing the magnet from falling out and ensuring reliable installation of the magnet.

[0017] Preferably, the deformable part includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector connects the first snap-fit ​​portion and the receiving portion, and the second connector connects the second snap-fit ​​portion and the receiving portion. The opposite sides of the first and second connectors are respectively provided with a first recess and a second recess. The first and second recesses are located on opposite sides of the first and second connectors, which not only facilitates the deformation of the deformable part to allow for the installation of the first and second snap-fit ​​portions, but also ensures the integrity of the opposite sides of the first and second connectors. After the first and second snap-fit ​​portions engage within the hollowed-out portion, the complete surface structure of the first and second connectors helps ensure the overall integrity of the magnetic toy's surface, thereby improving the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0018] Preferably, the first snap-fit ​​portion includes a first snap-fit ​​block and a snap-fit ​​plate extending from the first snap-fit ​​block, the snap-fit ​​plate having protruding teeth. The second snap-fit ​​portion includes a second snap-fit ​​block and a snap-fit ​​groove located within the second snap-fit ​​block, the snap-fit ​​groove engaging with the protruding teeth. One of the first and second snap-fit ​​blocks has an insertion portion, and the other has a receiving portion. The insertion portion and the receiving portion are inserted into each other in a direction parallel to the snap-fit ​​plate. At least one of the first and second snap-fit ​​blocks fills the end face of the hollow portion. The engagement of the first and second snap-fit ​​portions includes both the snap-fit ​​engagement of the snap-fit ​​groove and the protruding teeth, and the insertion engagement of the insertion portion and the receiving portion. The engagement of the snap-fit ​​groove and the protruding teeth achieves anti-disengagement along the direction of the snap-fit ​​plate, and the engagement of the insertion portion and the receiving portion achieves anti-disengagement perpendicular to the direction of the snap-fit ​​plate. The reliability of the anti-disengagement engagement of the first and second snap-fit ​​portions is high.

[0019] Preferably, the toy body has an opening groove, within which a positioning post is located. A hollow section is formed between the positioning post and the bottom of the opening groove. When the first and second locking parts engage, the mounting component, through the annular structure formed by the receiving member, the first connecting member, the second connecting member, the first locking part, and the second locking part, tightly holds the positioning post. The mounting component's tight grip on the positioning post during engagement of the first and second locking parts ensures a reliable connection between the toy body and the mounting component.

[0020] Preferably, the side of the positioning post is located inside the surface of the toy body to form a receiving groove for accommodating the first connector, the second connector, and the receiving member. The outer side of the mounting assembly composed of the first connector, the second connector, and the receiving member is flush with the surface of the toy body. After the first and second snap-fit ​​parts snap into place within the hollowed-out portion, the concealed arrangement of the receiving groove ensures that the outer side of the mounting assembly is flush with the surface of the toy body, guaranteeing the integrity of the magnetic toy's surface, resulting in a smooth appearance without sharp protrusions or depressions, and ensuring high safety for young children during play.

[0021] Preferably, the toy body is a flat, plate-like shape, with the mounting components located on the flat side of the toy body, which is curved. The magnetic toy consists of flat magnetic sheets; multiple magnetic sheets are connected magnetically to form different shapes, thus developing children's intelligence. The curved flat side allows the toy body to rotate around the flat side, ensuring reliable magnetic connection at any angle when different magnetic toys are attached to the same flat side.

[0022] Preferably, the flat sides of the toy body are polygonal, with the shortest face being one of the flattest sides, and the lengths of the other flattest sides being positive integer multiples of the shortest face length. Different magnetic toys with the same shortest face length can be reliably assembled without large gaps, which is more conducive to the development of children's intelligence.

[0023] Preferably, the flat side has several mounting components along its length, with adjacent mounting components equidistantly spaced. The distance between the mounting components at both ends and their adjacent ends on the flat side is half the distance between adjacent mounting components. The magnets in each mounting component can be used for magnetic connection, ensuring the stability of the magnetic toy when connected magnetically. The equidistant arrangement of adjacent mounting components on the flat side facilitates the assembly of magnetic toys of the same size but different shapes.

[0024] Preferably, the magnet is shaped like a rotating body, with its magnetic poles distributed on both sides of its rotation axis. The mounting assembly includes a cavity to accommodate the magnet's rotation. The magnet can rotate within this cavity, allowing its N and S poles to rotate with the toy's main body, ensuring the reliability of the magnetic force. Beneficial effects

[0025] The components have high anti-detachment performance and good surface integrity, which improves the safety performance of magnetic toys.

[0026] Improve the assembly and joining capabilities of magnetic toys. Attached Figure Description

[0042] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a magnetic toy, as shown in Figures 1 to 10, which includes a toy body 1 and a mounting component 2. The mounting component 2 is provided with a magnet 302. The mounting component 2 is mounted on the toy body 1 so that at least a part of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. The mounting component 2 includes a snap-fit ​​part 201. The toy body 1 has a hollow part 101. The snap-fit ​​part 201 snaps into the hollow part 101 to form a hidden setting and connect the toy body 1 and the mounting component 2. The outer side of the mounting component 2 smoothly transitions with the surface of the toy body 1.

[0043] In the scheme disclosed in this embodiment, the mounting component 2 contains a magnet 302. The mounting component 2 is installed on the toy body 1, so that at least a part of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. Different toy bodies 1 can be connected by magnetic force and combined into different shapes, which is beneficial to the development of children's intelligence. The mounting component 2 and the toy body 1 are connected by the snap-fit ​​part 201. The connection is convenient. The snap-fit ​​part 201 is hidden inside the hollow part 101, not exposed, and not easy to separate, so the magnetic toy has high anti-detachment performance. Here, "the snap-fit ​​part 201 snaps in the hollow part 101" includes not only the snap-fit ​​part 201 snapping in the hollow part 101, but also the snap-fit ​​of multiple parts to hold one side of the hollow part 101. The snap-fit ​​positions of multiple parts are located inside the hollow part 101. The outer side of the mounting component 2 and the surface of the toy body 1 are smoothly transitioned without any sharp protruding corners. The snap-fit ​​part 201 is hidden inside the hollow part 101, so the overall appearance of the magnetic toy is good, it will not scratch children, and it is highly safe. Smooth transitions include, but are not limited to, tangent curved surfaces and flush planes. The toy body 1 can be of any shape; in this embodiment, the toy body 1 is a flat, plate-like shape, meaning the magnetic toy uses magnetic sheets, fully utilizing the stacking capacity of the magnetic sheets while ensuring lightweight design. The edges and corners of the toy body 1 are rounded to prevent sharp protrusions from scratching children and ensure safety. Embodiments of the present invention

[0044] As one embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic toy is disclosed, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, comprising a toy body 1 and a mounting component 2. The mounting component 2 is provided with a magnet 302 and is mounted on the toy body 1 so that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. The mounting component 2 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 201. The toy body 1 has a hollow portion 101. The snap-fit ​​portion 201 snaps into the hollow portion 101 to form a hidden arrangement and connect the toy body 1 and the mounting component 2. The outer surface of the mounting component 2 smoothly transitions with the surface of the toy body 1. The snap-fit ​​limiting direction of the snap-fit ​​portion 201 is collinear with the hollowing direction of the hollow portion 101. As shown in Figure 1, the hollow portion 101 is a straight groove, and one side of the hollow portion 101 is a positioning post 102. The locking portion 201 includes a first locking portion 403 and a second locking portion 503 that lock together. The locking positions of the first locking portion 403 and the second locking portion 503 are located inside the hollow portion 101, and when locked, the mounting component 2 holds one side of the hollow portion 101, which is the positioning post 102. When the first locking portion 403 and the second locking portion 503 lock together, they extend into the hollow portion 101 of the straight groove structure. In the locking limiting direction, the locking portion 201 cannot separate from the straight direction of the straight groove after locking, resulting in high anti-detachment performance.

[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly 2 further includes a deformable member, which provides displacement allowance for the snap-fit ​​portion 201 to extend into the hollow portion 101 for snap-fit. The deformable member allows for adjustment of the position of the snap-fit ​​portion 201, facilitating its snap-fit ​​assembly. The deformable member is a thin plate structure with a certain elastic deformation capacity. Furthermore, the deformable member has a recessed portion to form a bendable part. The recessed portion reduces the strength of the deformable member at that location, making it easy to bend. This allows the snap-fit ​​portion 201 to rotate around the bendable part, achieving a determinable positional adjustment of the snap-fit ​​portion 201, facilitating its extension into the hollow portion 101 for snap-fit.

[0046] Molding a snap-fit ​​structure within the hollowed-out portion 101 requires high processing costs. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion 201 includes a first snap-fit ​​portion 403 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 503 capable of snap-fit ​​engagement, which is easy to mold and has low molding costs. After the first snap-fit ​​portion 403 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 503 snap-fit ​​together, the mounting component 2 hugs one side of the hollowed-out portion 101, achieving a reliable connection between the mounting component 2 and the toy body 1. Furthermore, the deformable component includes a first connector 401 and a second connector 501. The first connector 401 connects the first snap-fit ​​portion 403 and the receiving component 3, and the second connector 501 connects the second snap-fit ​​portion 503 and the receiving component 3. The opposite sides of the first connector 401 and the second connector 501 are respectively provided with a first recess 402 and a second recess 502. The first recess 402 is located at the connection between the first connector 401 and the receiving member 3, and the second recess 502 is located at the connection between the second connector 501 and the receiving member 3. Both the first connector 401 and the second connector 501 adopt a thin plate structure and have elastic deformation capability. The first recess 402 and the second recess 502 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the first connector 401 and the second connector 501. This not only enables the deformation of the deformable parts to facilitate the installation of the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 503, but also ensures the integrity of the opposite sides of the first connector 401 and the second connector 501. After the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 503 are engaged in the hollow part 101, the complete surface structure of the first connector 401 and the second connector 501 helps to ensure the integrity of the surface of the magnetic toy, thereby improving the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0047] As a simple alternative to the above solution, the recessed portion is replaced with a section made of elastic material, so that the snap-fit ​​portion 201 has a certain amount of mobility.

[0048] As a simple alternative to the above solution, the deformable part is a rod. The deflection of the rod is its ability to elastically deform, which can also provide displacement margin for the snap-fit ​​part 201.

[0049] The mounting assembly 2 also includes a receiving member 3, which has a receiving cavity 301 for accommodating the magnet 302. The receiving cavity 301 has a mounting opening for the magnet 302 to enter and exit. The first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening. When the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503 are engaged, the mounting opening is blocked. The magnet 302 enters the receiving cavity 301 through the mounting opening, which is convenient for installation. The magnet 302 can be removed and reused. When the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503 are engaged in the hollow part 101, the mounting assembly 2 holds one side of the hollow part 101 tightly. The mounting opening is located between the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503. Therefore, the mounting opening is blocked by one side of the hollow part 101, preventing the magnet 302 from falling out and ensuring the reliable installation of the magnet 302. The magnet 302 is a rotating body with its magnetic poles distributed on both sides of its rotation axis. The mounting assembly 2 has a receiving cavity 301 to accommodate the rotation of the magnet 302. The rotating body includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, toroidals, and spheres, with the N and S poles of the rotating body being arranged in equal proportions.

[0050] As one embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic toy is disclosed, as shown in Figures 1 to 5. The first locking part 403 includes a first locking block 404 and a locking plate 405 extending out of the first locking block 404. The locking plate 405 is provided with protruding teeth 406, which are located at the outer end of the locking plate 405. The locking plate 405 forms a cantilever beam structure relative to the first locking block 404, which has a certain degree of deflection and can be elastically deformed. The second engaging part 503 includes a second engaging block 504 and an engaging groove 505 located within the second engaging block 504. The engaging groove 505 engages with the protruding tooth 406. The engaging groove 505 includes a through groove 506 and a sliding groove 507. When the protruding tooth 406 engages with the engaging groove 505, it slides along the sliding groove 507 to the through groove 506. The protruding tooth 406 is a quadrangular prism with a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section. The inclined surface of the protruding tooth 406 faces outward to facilitate the engagement of the protruding tooth 406 and the engaging groove 505. After the protruding tooth 406 engages with the engaging groove 505, the right-angled surface of the protruding tooth 406 abuts against one side of the through groove 506 to form a locking engagement. The first snap-fit ​​block 404 is provided with a plug-in portion 407, and the second snap-fit ​​block 504 is provided with a socket portion 508. The plug-in portion 407 and the socket portion 508 are plugged in and the plugging direction is parallel to the snap-fit ​​plate 405. In this embodiment, the plug-in portion 407 is a quadrangular prism located on the edge of the first snap-fit ​​block 404 and extending along the edge of the first snap-fit ​​block 404. The socket portion 508 is located in a notch groove on the edge of the second snap-fit ​​block 504. When the protrusion 406 and the snap-fit ​​groove 505 are engaged, the plug-in portion 407 is inserted into the socket portion 508 to form a plug-in fit. The end face dimensions of the first locking block 404 and the second locking block 504 are the same as the end face dimensions of the hollow part 101. When the protruding tooth 406 and the locking groove 505 are engaged, the first locking block 404 and the second locking block 504 fill the end face of the hollow part 101, ensuring that there are no gaps on the surface of the magnetic toy at the position of the hollow part 101, thus guaranteeing the safety of the magnetic toy. The cooperation between the first locking part 403 and the second locking part 503 includes both the engagement of the locking groove 505 and the protruding tooth 406 and the engagement of the insertion part 407 and the socket part 508. The engagement of the locking groove 505 and the protruding tooth 406 achieves anti-detachment along the direction of the locking plate 405, and the engagement of the insertion part 407 and the socket part 508 achieves anti-detachment in the direction perpendicular to the locking plate 405. The reliability of the anti-detachment of the first locking part 403 and the second locking part 503 is high.

[0051] As a simple alternative to the above solution, the end face size of the first snap-fit ​​block 404 or the second snap-fit ​​block 504 is the same as the end face size of the hollow part 101, and the other is smaller than the end face size of the hollow part 101. Only one of them needs to be the same as the end face size of the hollow part 101 to determine the position of the mounting component 2 and the toy body 1, thus avoiding the position of the mounting component 2 from shifting. The other smaller snap-fit ​​block can fill the gap by filling the edge with silicone pads or other methods.

[0052] As one implementation of the hollowed-out portion 101, the toy body 1 has an opening groove 103, within which a positioning post 102 is provided. The positioning post 102 is shaped like a right quadrangular prism, and its two ends are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the opening groove 103. A hollowed-out portion 101 is formed between the positioning post 102 and the bottom of the opening groove 103. When the first snap-fit ​​portion 403 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 503 snap-fit ​​together, the mounting assembly 2 holds the positioning post 102 tightly through the annular structure formed by the receiving member 3, the first connecting member 401, the second connecting member 501, the first snap-fit ​​portion 403, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 503. The side of the positioning post 102 is located on the inner side of the surface of the toy body 1 to form a receiving groove 104 for receiving the first connecting member 401, the second connecting member 501, and the receiving member 3. The outer side of the mounting assembly 2, composed of the first connecting member 401, the second connecting member 501, and the receiving member 3, is flush with the surface of the toy body 1. After the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 503 snap into place in the hollow part 101, the first connector 401, the second connector 501 and the receiving part 3 are hidden in the receiving groove 104 so that the outer side of the mounting component 2 is flush with the surface of the toy body 1, ensuring the integrity of the surface of the magnetic toy, with a smooth appearance, no sharp protrusions or depressions, and high safety when children play with it.

[0053] When the magnetic toy is used as a magnetic sheet, the toy body 1 is flat and plate-shaped. The mounting component 2 is located on the flat side 105 of the toy body 1, which is curved. The flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is polygonal, including the shortest face, and the lengths of the other flat sides 105 are positive integer multiples of the shortest face length. The magnetic toy is a flat magnetic sheet, and multiple magnetic sheets are connected by magnetic force to form different shapes, which helps develop children's intelligence. The curved flat side 105 structure facilitates the rotation of the toy body 1 around the flat side 105, ensuring a reliable magnetic connection at any angle when different magnetic toys are attached to the same flat side 105. Different magnetic toys with the same shortest face length can be reliably spliced ​​together without large gaps, which is more conducive to developing children's intelligence. The outer end face of the receiving component 3 is also curved, and the receiving component 3 is flush with the flat side 105 on which it is located.

[0054] In the magnetic toy shown in Figure 1 or Figure 7, the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is square, and all sides of the toy body 1 are the shortest surfaces.

[0055] As shown in Figure 9, in the magnetic toy, the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is set in an isosceles trapezoid. The legs and short sides of the isosceles trapezoid are of equal length and are the shortest face. The long side of the isosceles trapezoid is the two ends of the length of the short side. When the shortest face lengths are equal in the schemes shown in Figure 1 and Figure 7, it is obvious that the two magnetic toys shown in Figure 1 can be assembled on the flat side 105 where the long side of the magnetic toy in Figure 7 is located.

[0056] As shown in Figure 10, in the magnetic toy, the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is arranged in an equilateral triangle.

[0057] The flat side 105 has several mounting components 2 along its length. Adjacent mounting components 2 are equidistantly spaced, and the distance between the mounting components 2 at both ends and their adjacent ends of the flat side 105 is half the distance between adjacent mounting components 2. The distance between adjacent mounting components is the center-to-center distance between them. The magnets 302 in the mounting components 2 can all be used for magnetic connection, ensuring the stability of the magnetic toy when connected by magnetic force. The equidistant arrangement of adjacent mounting components 2 on the flat side 105 facilitates the assembly of magnetic toys of the same size but different shapes.

[0058] In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, two mounting components 2 are provided on the three shortest faces, and four mounting components 2 are provided on the flat side 105 corresponding to the long side of the isosceles trapezoid. When the shortest face lengths of the magnetic toys shown in Figure 10 and Figure 9 are equal, they can be assembled. The magnetic toys shown in Figure 10 can be assembled one-to-one with the shortest face of the magnetic toys shown in Figure 9, or two magnetic toys shown in Figure 10 can be assembled together onto the flat side 105 corresponding to the long side of the isosceles trapezoid.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the distance between adjacent mounting components on the same flat side is half the length of the shortest face.

[0060] In all the magnetic toy examples disclosed in this invention, the magnetic toys are provided with friction textures 106 inside, which not only improves the aesthetics but also enhances the friction, making it easier for young children to pick them up. In the embodiments shown in Figures 7 and 8, the friction textures 106 are approximately petal-shaped, and in the embodiments shown in Figures 9 and 10, the friction textures 106 are triangular or approximately triangular.

[0061] It should be noted that, to ensure the safety of the magnetic toy, the corners of the polygon formed by the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 need to be rounded. Here, the length of the flat side 105 and the length of the shortest face refer to the length of the polygon without rounded corners. The distance from the mounting component 2 to the end of the flat side 105 also refers to the length of the polygon without rounded corners.
