  • the magnet may be a magnetic iron, or an electromagnet.
  • the electromagnet is a device which may generate electromagnetism when being energized, and consists of a built-in coil and an iron core.
  • the intensity of the magnetism of the electromagnet may be controlled by the intensity of a current or a number of turns of the coil.

  • the puzzle parts in the conventional technology are assembled by hole plugging or snap fitting, and since most puzzle parts are made of materials such as paper, wood or plastic, and repeated plugging and unplugging or snap fitting are prone to cause abrasion or damage of the parts to be spliced (including wedge heads or engaging teeth), which shortens the service life of the puzzle and reduces the reutilization rate of the puzzle.
  • the puzzle component and the base plate are connected by a magnetic force between the magnet and the metal substance. In such connecting method, the player does not need to plug/unplug or snap fit the puzzle components, thereby effectively reducing the abrasion of the puzzle components and improving the reutilization rate of the puzzle.
  • the scene puzzle according to the above embodiment using the magnetic force for connection may enable the connection between the components to be more stable.
  • a junction is provided in each of the puzzle parts, which limits the position of the puzzle part to be connected, for example, an automobile part can only be inserted in a fixed position.
  • no junction is provided on the base plate and the puzzle component, thus the position to be connected is not limited, and the player may arrange and connect the puzzle components as desired according to his own imagination, to create any various settings of different layouts and structures, thereby facilitating developing the spatial imagination of the player.
  • the number of the puzzle components in the scene puzzle may be one or multiple. Preferably, the number of the puzzle components is multiple.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view showing a setting of the scene puzzle according to the present application.
  • the puzzle components may be connected to the base plate, but also the puzzle components may be connected to each other by a magnetic force, thereby constructing a setting having a certain layout structure.
  • a surface of the puzzle component to be connected to another puzzle component is defined as a connecting surface of the puzzle component.
  • the magnet Since the magnet has a characteristic that unlike poles attract and like poles repel, and if the magnet inside the puzzle component is fixed, an end of the puzzle component close to the connecting surface has a fixed magnetic polarity, i.e., can only be a negative pole or a positive pole, thus the connection between various puzzle components is limited, that is, if ends, close to the connecting surfaces, of two puzzle components has the same magnetic polarity, the two puzzle components cannot be connected.
  • reference numeral 5 in this figure refers to a puzzle component, and a magnet mounting seat is provided inside the puzzle component 5, the magnet mounting seat is indicated by reference numeral 51, and the connecting surface of the puzzle component is indicated by reference numeral 52.
  • the magnet mounting seat 51 is rotatably connected to the puzzle component 5, and a rotating axis of the magnet mounting seat 51 is parallel to the connecting surface 52 of the puzzle component, thus after the magnet inside the magnet mounting seat 51 is rotated, the polarity of the magnet close to the connecting surface 52 may be adjusted according to practical connection requirements.
  • the puzzle component 1 when the puzzle component 1 is to be connected to the puzzle component 2, if sides of the magnets in the puzzle component 1 and the puzzle component 2 close to the connecting surfaces both have a negative polarity, then due to the attraction between magnetic polarities, the magnet mounting seat in the puzzle component 1 is rotated, which then rotates the positive polarity of the magnet on the magnet mounting seat to be close to the connecting surface, and finally, the puzzle component 1 and the puzzle component 2 are connected via the connecting surfaces.
  • the magnet mounting seat is provided with a rotating shaft and the puzzle component is provided with a rotating hole
  • the puzzle component is provided with a rotating shaft and the magnet mounting seat is provided with a rotating hole, and then the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole.
  • the rotatable connection may also be realized in a way as shown in Figure 6 , in the figure, a sliding groove 53 is provided inside the puzzle component, a protrusion 510 is provided on the magnet mounting seat 51, and a maximum linear length of the protrusion in the sliding groove is slightly smaller than a width of the sliding groove, thus the magnet mounting seat is rotatable inside the sliding groove.
  • puzzle components can be connected by configuring the magnet mounting seat to be rotatably connected to the puzzle component, thereby improving the flexibility of the connection between the puzzle components.
  • Connecting two puzzle components via connecting surfaces refers to that the two puzzle components are connected by magnetism of the magnets inside the puzzle components.
  • the tightness of the connection between the puzzle components is related to the magnitude of the magnetic force between the magnets, which in turn is related to a distance between the two magnets, i.e., when the distance between two magnets has the smallest value, the magnetic force has the greatest value, and the connection between the puzzle components is firmest.
  • the position of the magnet mounting seat with respect to the connecting surface may not be fixed, and as shown in Figure 6 , the sliding groove 53 in the puzzle component 5 is perpendicular to the connecting surface 52, and a magnet 511 is placed inside the magnet mounting seat 51.
  • the magnet mounting seat 51 is rotatable inside the puzzle component, and when the magnet mounting seat 51 is rotated to an appropriate position and the puzzle component is to be connected to another puzzle component, due to the attraction of the magnetic force, the magnet mounting seat 51 is driven to slide along the sliding groove 53 to a position in the same plane with the connecting surface 52, and thus the magnet 511 is at a position closest to the magnet inside the another puzzle component, thus the magnetic force between the two magnets has the maximum value, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the puzzle components.
  • the magnet mounting seat 51 is provided with a protrusion 510
  • the connecting surface 52 of the puzzle component is provided with a retaining portion 520
  • the protrusion is configured to cooperate with the retaining portion.

  • the portion 71 or the portion 72 of the protrusion 510 may be stuck in the retaining portion, thereby enabling the magnet mounting seat to be in a fixed state, and facilitating the connection with another puzzle component.
  • an outer end surface of the magnet mounting seat is provided with a positioning groove, to further improve the firmness of the connection between two puzzle components.
  • the outer end surface refers to a surface of the magnet mounting seat close to the connecting surface.
  • the positioning groove may be a sawtooth-shaped protrusion, or a spherical protrusion and a spherical groove.
  • the positions of the spherical protrusion and the spherical groove are not limited, for example, a spherical protrusion is provided on an outer end surface of a magnet mounting seat of a puzzle component, and a spherical groove is provided on an outer end surface of a magnet mounting seat of another puzzle component; or, both a spherical protrusion and a spherical groove are provided on an outer end surface of a magnet mounting seat of the same puzzle component.
