Description

Toy block with lamp

The present invention relates to a toy block having a lamp, and more particularly, to a toy block for turning on / off a switch to light up or turn off a light when another block is inserted, assembled or detached.

Normally, a toy block is a toy that makes various shapes by assembling protrusions and grooves between blocks.

By the way, in some shapes, the light inside the block to give a three-dimensional effect, but there is a lack of a lamp mechanism in the conventional toy block there is a lack of three-dimensional feeling. (Of course, a toy or doll that is not an assembly type may have a lamp inside and a person may turn on / off the switch when desired, but there is no toy block for the assembly type.)

On the other hand, in a lamp switch, a spring is used to restore the switching unit for moving the movable contact with respect to the fixed contact and making contact or non-contact to turn on / off the lamp.

However, the spring itself is heavy, and additional processes or parts such as welding or jamming jaw are required during assembly, and the weight is heavier and more expensive due to the addition of such processes or parts.

In addition, the pressing force or restoring force of the switching unit varies depending on the elastic modulus of the spring, which is cumbersome to provide a separate spring each time. That is, one spring cannot cover various elastic modulus.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a toy block having a lamp for turning on and off the switch during assembly or disassembly.

In order to achieve the above object, a toy block having a lamp according to claim 1 of the present invention,

A block body having an insertion receiving groove; A lamp mechanism mounted inside the block body; Including,

The lamp mechanism comprises a lamp, a battery for supplying power to the lamp and a switch for turning on / off the battery,

The switch is turned on when an external force is applied to the insertion receiving groove, and the switch is turned off when the external force is removed from the insertion receiving groove.

The toy block provided with the lamp of Claim 2 of this invention,

The switch includes a fixed contact to which the lamp and the battery are connected, a movable contact, a switching part to turn the movable contact on and off with respect to the fixed contact, and an elastic part to restore the switching part. At the bottom of the switch is characterized in that the opening and closing the cashier is formed. .

Lamp switch according to claim 3 of the present invention,

The elastic portion is made of a shrinkable and expandable tube,

When an external force is applied to the insertion receiving groove, the switching unit is pressed to contract the tube to contact the movable contact with the fixed contact,

When the external force is removed from the insertion receiving groove, pressurization of the switching unit is released so that the movable contact is not in contact with the fixed contact by expansion of the tube.

Lamp switch according to claim 4 of the present invention,

The movable contact is preferably installed in the tube.

According to the toy block having a lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following effects.

By applying or removing an external force (that is, the insertion of the other receiving body of the block body to be assembled) into the insertion receiving groove, the switch can be turned on and off so that the light comes on at the desired position when forming various shapes. .

In addition, since the switching part is used as an elastic part for pressurizing or restoring, a tube that can be expanded and contracted is light in weight and can be bonded to a degree that does not move with a bond, thereby simplifying assembly and avoiding complexity in design. According to the amount, various elastic modulus can be controlled by one tube.

In particular, since the movable contact is provided in the tube, the movable contact makes contact with the fixed contact due to the contraction of the tube, and at the same time, the movable contact acts as non-contact with the fixed contact due to the expansion of the tube.

In addition, the switch can be easily installed and separated in a narrow space, so that the elastic point can be moved within a large range without any design change.

In addition, it is possible to distinguish the on / off of the switch by a fine force by the tube which is gas rather than mechanical.

In addition, the buffering role of the tube can absorb and operate even if there is a design defect.

1A and 1B are schematic cross-sectional views in which a switch for a lamp in an ON and OFF state according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied to a toy block;
2A and 2B are schematic diagrams showing switches for lamps in ON and OFF states according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
3A and 3B are schematic diagrams showing switches for lamps in an ON and OFF state according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1A and 1B are schematic cross-sectional views in which a switch for a lamp in an ON and OFF state according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied to a toy block.

1A and 1B, the toy block 1 according to the present embodiment includes a block body 10 and a lamp mechanism 30 mounted inside the block body 10.

The block body 10 is preferably formed with an insertion receiving protrusion 11 and the insertion receiving groove (13).

The insertion receiving protrusion 11 is a protrusion fitted into the insertion receiving groove 23 of the other block body 20.

The insertion receiving groove 13 is a groove into which the insertion receiving protrusion 21 formed on the block body 20 of the other toy block 2 is fitted.

At the bottom of the insertion accommodating groove 13, a cashier 15 for discharging the switching unit 36 described later is formed.

That is, the switching unit 36 maintains a state of protruding slightly out of the cashier 15 (see FIG. 1A), and when the insertion receiving protrusion 21 is fitted and assembled, it is pushed inward (see FIG. 1B) to ON. )

It is preferable that the locking step 17 is formed at the edge of the cashier 15.

The catching jaw 17 serves to prevent this because an excessive force is applied to the switching part 36 when the insertion receiving protrusion 21 enters deeper due to a manufacturing error.

The lamp mechanism 30 is mounted inside the block body 10, and the block body 10 may be divided into two parts, and then manufactured to be integrated and detachably coupled after mounting the lamp mechanism 30.

The lamp mechanism 30 includes a lamp 31, a battery 32 for supplying power to the lamp 31, and a switch 33 for turning on / off the battery 32.

Therefore, when the insertion receiving protrusion 21 which is an external force is inserted into the insertion receiving groove 13 and the switch 33 is turned on, the lamp 31 is turned on, and the insertion receiving protrusion 21 is inserted into the insertion receiving groove 13. Is removed, the switch 33 is turned off and the lamp 31 is turned off.

The switch 33 includes a fixed contact 34 to which the lamp 31 and the battery 32 are connected, a movable contact 35, and a switching unit to which the movable contact 35 is turned on / off with respect to the fixed contact 34. 36 and an elastic portion 37 for restoring the switching portion 36.

1A and 1B, the fixed contact 34 is provided inside the block body 10, and the movable contact 35 is provided at one end of the switch 36 in the form of a lever.

The other end of the switching unit 36 is pivotally provided inside the block body 10.

The elastic part 37 is a spring 37 and is provided between the block body 10 and the switching part 36 to provide a restoring force of the switching part 36.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2a and 2b, instead of the spring 37, the tube 137 capable of shrinkage expansion can be implemented.

The tube 137 may be bonded and fixed to the block body 10 and the switching unit 36 by bonding or the like so as not to move.

Therefore, when the insertion receiving protrusion 21 which is an external force is applied to the insertion receiving groove 13, the switching unit 36 is pressed to contract the tube 137 to contact the movable contact 35 with the fixed contact 34. Energize.

When the insertion receiving protrusion 21, which is an external force, is removed from the insertion receiving groove 13, the pressure of the switching unit 36 is released and the movable contact 35 is not in contact with the fixed contact 34 by the expansion of the tube 137. To cut off the current.

On the other hand, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, it is preferable that the movable contact 135 is provided in the tube 237.

In this case, two fixed contacts 134 are provided to be connected to the lamp 31 and the battery 32, respectively.

Therefore, when the switching unit 36 is pressed, the tube 137 is contracted and comes into contact with the movable contact 135 toward the fixed contact 134.

On the contrary, when the pressurized state of the switching unit 36 is released, the movable contact 135 is separated from the fixed contact 134 while the tube 237 is inflated and is not in contact.

As such, as the tube 237 contracts and expands, the movable contact 135 approaches or moves away from the fixed contact 134 to turn the lamp 31 ON / OFF.

In addition, the tube 137 or the tube 237 can adjust the amount of wind to obtain an elastic portion having a variety of elastic modulus in one tube.

As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention can be variously modified or modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims Those skilled in the art will appreciate.

The present invention may be any article to be assembled or disassembled.
