Of course, depending on the application, the battery 9, the speaker 10 and the voice electric signal module 8 need not be arranged in one block, and if they can be electrically connected, it is also preferable that they are arranged in different blocks. .

On the other hand, the electric circuit is arranged inside the blocks to complete the circuit including the electric 9, the speaker 10, the voice electric signal module 8 by the coupling of the connection terminals.

Hereinafter, the operation process will be described in detail by dividing the case in which the sentence is completed or the case incomplete by the combination of the blocks.

<If sentence is completed>

As shown in FIG. 4, when the three blocks (1) (2) (3) are combined according to word order, meaning, grammar, and the like to form “I am a boy”, the internal circuits of each block are connected to each other. Power supplied from the battery 9 of the first block 1 is supplied to the circuit. The voice electric signal module 8 receives power from the battery 9 and transmits a voice electric signal corresponding to the “IMA Boy” on the upper surface of the block to the speaker 10. Therefore, the "I Am Boy" voice is output from the speaker 10 to the outside, and the user (child) who combines the blocks intuitively recognizes that the combined block is pronounced as "I Am Boy". You can learn. In the voice electric signal module 8, voice data information corresponding to "IMA Boy" may be stored in advance in a storage unit. In this case, a sentence is completed by a correct combination of blocks, and when the circuit is configured, the voice Data information may be configured to be a voice electric signal from the voice electrical signal module 8 to be delivered to the speaker 10. In addition, the voice electrical signal module 8 is preferably provided with a control device to control the voice output to the speaker 10 only a certain number of times. Furthermore, the voice data storage unit and the recording unit are further configured, and the voice data storage unit is configured so that the parent or teacher can delete and record the voice arbitrarily through the recording unit, so that a part of words and sentences are embossed on the upper surface of the block. , Attaching removable plates, such as intaglio or printed stickers, or using writing instruments to write and erase parts of words and sentences on the top of a block. It is more desirable to be able to express and learn and to listen to the sentence.

The part shown by the dashed-dotted line of FIG. 4 shows that the internal circuit of each block is connected with each other, and a circuit is completed.

<If the sentence is not complete>

Referring to FIG. 5, when only the first block 1 and the second block 2 are combined, the sentence is not completed, and the connection terminal 6 provided on the right side of the second block 2 is The circuits are not completed because they are open without being connected to each other. Therefore, the unfinished circuit of the combined block cannot accept the electric power supplied from the battery 9 arranged in the first block 1. Therefore, no sound is output from the speaker 10 arranged in the first block 1, so that the user (child) intuitively knows that the sentence is not yet completed. This also applies to the case where only the second block 2 and the third block 3 are combined.

FIG. 3A illustrates a case where a combination of the first block 1 and the third block 3 is shown. The connection terminal 4 and the third block disposed on the right side of the first block 1 are illustrated in FIG. Since the connecting terminals 7 disposed on the left side of the (3) are different in size from each other and cannot be fitted, the connecting terminals 4 and 7 cannot be connected to each other, so that the first block 1 ) And the internal circuits of the third block 3 are not connected to each other, so that no sound is output from the speaker 10 arranged in the first block 1. FIG. 3A illustrates a case in which the connection terminals 4 and 7 are different in size from each other, but in some cases, as shown in FIG. 3B, the positions of the connection terminals 4 and 7-1 are mutually different. The non-corresponding positioning may prevent the internal circuits of the first block 1 and the third block 3-1 from being connected to each other.

<Application Example of First Embodiment>

In the first embodiment, a case of completing a sentence by a combination of blocks has been described as an example. However, depending on the application, the entire figure or figure is formed by a combination of blocks in which a part of the figure or figure is embossed, engraved, or printed on the upper surface. Even when the shape is completed, it can be applied in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. When the 'flower' shape is completed by combining a plurality of blocks constituting the 'flower', the 'flower' is arranged in the speaker 51 arranged in any one of the blocks. Outputs the voice "or" flower ". The operation process of outputting the voice is the same as the operation process in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof will be omitted. The part shown by the dashed-dotted line of FIG. 6 shows that the internal circuit of each block is connected with each other, and a circuit is completed.

Second Embodiment

In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, a block toy implemented to learn the sentences "I am a boy" and "I am a student" will be described as an example.

Referring to FIG. 7, the first block 61 labeled 'I' on the upper surface, the second block 62 labeled 'am' on the upper surface, and the third block 63-1 labeled 'a boy' on the upper surface And a fourth block 63-2 marked 'a student' on the top surface. A connection terminal 64 connected to the second block 62 is disposed on the right side of the first block 61. In addition, connection terminals 65 and 66 connected to the first block 61 and the third block 63-1 (or the fourth block 63-2) are also connected to the second block 62. It is arranged on the left-right side. In addition, a connection terminal 67 connected to the third block 63-1 (or the fourth block 63-2) is also arranged on the left side. The connection terminals may have various shapes, but for example, one block may be formed as a protrusion, and the other block may be formed as an insertion groove to be connected to each other. Since the first block 61 and the second block 62 must be connected to each other to complete a sentence, the connection terminals 64 and 65 have a shape that can be fitted to each other, and the connection terminal ( The arrangement positions of 64 and 65 are also provided at positions corresponding to each other. The same applies to the connection terminal 67 of the second block 62 and the third block 63-1 (or the fourth block 63-2). However, when the first block 61 and the third block 63-1 (or the fourth block 63-2) are connected to each other, the first block 61 and the third block 63-1 do not match the word order, meaning, grammar, or the like of the sentence. The connecting terminal 64 of the 61 and the connecting terminal 67 of the third block 63-1 (or the fourth block 63-2) have a shape that cannot be fitted to each other, or the connecting terminal It is provided to vary the arranged position. Of course, even in the present embodiment, the connection terminal only serves to electrically connect between neighboring blocks, but proper assembly between blocks uses magnet attraction or repulsive force between neighboring blocks by attaching magnets to the block sides. Alternatively, the shape, number of formations, arrangement positions, etc. of protrusions or protrusion grooves between neighboring blocks may be used.

On the other hand, the electric circuit is arranged inside the blocks so that the circuit is completed by the coupling of the connection terminals. In addition, the first block 61 is provided with a battery 69 for supplying power to the circuit formed by the combination of the blocks, a speaker 60 for outputting voice to the outside is disposed, A voice electric signal corresponding to "I am a boy" or "I am a student" completed by the combination is sent to the speaker 60 so that the voice of "I Am Boy" or "I Am Student" is output to the outside. A voice electric signal module 68 is disposed to enable the voice signal. In addition, a first identification code module 62a in which an identification code corresponding to 'am' displayed on the upper surface of the block is stored is disposed in the second block 62, and inside the third block 63-1. In the fourth block 63-2, a second identification code module 63-1a, in which an identification code corresponding to 'a boy' displayed on the upper surface of the block is stored, is disposed. A third identification code module 63-2a, in which an identification code corresponding to student 'is stored, is disposed.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 8, the voice electrical signal module 68 disposed in the first block 61 includes a voice electrical signal unit 71 and a block for transmitting the voice electrical signal to the speaker 60. When the sentence is completed by the combination of the voice data storage unit 72 for storing a plurality of voice data information, such as "I AM Boy", "I AM Student" corresponding to the completed sentence and disposed in each block After receiving the identification code of each block from the first identification code and the second or third identification code module, the processing of the "I Am Boy" or "I Am Student" stored in the voice data storage unit 72 And a controller 73 for selectively extracting voice data information and controlling the voice data information to be sent to the speaker 60 through the voice electric signal unit 71.

Let's look at an example of such a constructive feature with a specific example. For example, an identification code corresponding to "I" is 00, an identification code corresponding to "am" is 11, an identification code corresponding to "a boy" is 10, and corresponds to "a student". Assuming that the identification code is 01, the identification code corresponding to "I" is owned by the voice electric signal module 68, and the identification code corresponding to "am", 11 is the first identification code module ( 62a), the identification code 10 corresponding to "a boy" has a second identification code module 63-1a, and the identification code 01 corresponding to "a student" has a third identification code module ( 63-2a). Therefore, when "I am a boy" is completed by assembling the blocks, the first and second identification code modules 62a and 63-1a send 11 and 10 to the voice electric signal module 68, and the voice electric signal module. In the control unit (68), the voice information regarding "I AM Boy", which is a voice corresponding to 00, 11, 10 (or 00, 10, 11), is stored in the voice data storage unit 72. Extract and transmit to the speaker 60 through the voice electrical signal unit 71. Similarly, when "I am a student" is completed, the first and third identification code modules 62a and 63-1a send 11 and 01 to the voice electrical signal module 68, and the control unit of the voice electrical signal module 68 In the voice information for the "I AM STUDENT" that is the voice corresponding to 00, 11, 01 is extracted from the voice data storage unit 72 and transmitted to the speaker 60 through the voice electric signal unit 71.

Hereinafter, the operation process when the sentence is completed by the combination of the blocks will be described in detail, but description overlapping with the first embodiment will be avoided for the sake of brevity.

8 and 9, when a user (child) completes the sentence of "I am a boy" by appropriately combining the first to third blocks 61, 62, and 63-1, The entire circuit is completed and power is supplied to the circuit, and the first identification code module 62a disposed in the second block 62 transmits its own identification code through the circuit to the control unit of the first block 61. Transmit to (73). In addition, the second identification code module 63-1a disposed in the third block 63-1 also transmits its own identification code to the control unit 73 of the first block 61 through the circuit. The control unit 73 disposed in the first block 61 receives and processes the transmitted identification codes to recognize that the completed sentence is “I am a boy.” Therefore, the control unit 73 The voice data information stored in the voice data storage unit 72 is transmitted to the voice electric signal unit 71. The voice data information of "IMA Boy" sent to the voice electric signal unit 71 is converted into a voice electric signal by the voice electric signal unit 71 and sent to the speaker 60. Accordingly, the speaker 60 outputs the "IMA Boy" voice to the outside, and the user (child) who combines the blocks intuitively recognizes that the combined block is pronounced as "IMA Boy". You will be able to learn naturally. If the user (child) combines the blocks to complete the sentence "I am a student", the control unit 73 is an identification code corresponding to 'a student' from the third identification code module 63-2a. Receives the received sentence to recognize that the "I am a student", and thus through the above process, the speaker 60 selects the voice information of "I am Student" of the plurality of stored voice information to the outside Print it out. In addition, the control unit 73 of the voice electrical signal module 68 may be added to the function to control the voice to be output only a predetermined number of times to the speaker (60).

Of course, in the present embodiment, it is also preferable to configure the voice information stored in the voice data storage unit 72 so that parents or teachers can arbitrarily record, store, or delete the voice information. In this case, it is necessary to further configure the recording unit, and configured to record or erase arbitrary voice in the voice data storage unit 72 through this recording unit, If a word or sentence is attached to a detachable plate such as an embossed, engraved or printed sticker on the upper surface of the block, or a writing tool is used to write and erase a portion of the word or sentence on the upper surface of the block. Even with the block of, it is more desirable to be able to express and learn countless sentences and to listen to the sentences.

In the first and second embodiments, a part of a sentence is displayed on the upper surface of each block, and a part of the sentence is combined to form a completed sentence, so that a user (child) can learn the sentence. Although the present invention has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto, and consonants and vowels of alphabets or Korean characters are displayed on the upper surface of each block. When a word or letter is completed by a combination of blocks, a pronunciation corresponding to the word or letter is spoken. You can also output from.

In addition, in the first and second embodiments, the battery, the voice electrical signal module and the speaker are all described as being disposed on the first block as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
