BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention, and how to achieve them, will be apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art. And the present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a layered puzzle apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a coupling diagram of a layered puzzle apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. Sectional view of the puzzle plate.

In general, a puzzle device is a play device that separates a picture, a photograph, a pattern, and the like into a plurality of pieces, and then allows the user to put together pieces of the separated puzzle unit (P) Such a puzzle device is to fit a puzzle unit (P) formed in the shape of an object into various shapes.

In the layered puzzle apparatus 10 of the present invention, a plurality of puzzle boards 100 on which puzzle units can be arranged are combined and stacked. Refers to a puzzle device in which a plurality of puzzle boards 100 are coupled to each other and stacked. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the puzzle board 100 is stacked to allow one game to be finished and another game to be continuously performed.

3, the puzzle plate 100 includes a bottom plate 112 on which a plurality of puzzle units are arranged, a horizontal frame 1112 having one end horizontally adjacent to the bottom plate 112, And a frame frame 111 formed of a vertical frame 1111 which is perpendicularly projected at the other end of the frame 1112 and is vertical. When the second puzzle plate 100b on the lower side of the first puzzle plate 100a is engaged with the second puzzle plate 100b on the bottom surface of the vertical frame 1111a of the first puzzle plate 100a, The upper surface of the second substrate 1112b comes into contact.

The plurality of puzzle boards 100 to be stacked and joined together can be coupled through various coupling means such as a bolt B, a fastener, or the like.

Furthermore, the layered puzzle device 10 of the present invention can be stacked with a plurality of puzzle plates 100 on which the puzzle units P can be arranged by being coupled to each other by a magnetic force. The magnetic force is controlled in accordance with the puzzle arrangement state of the puzzle unit P arranged on the puzzle plate 100. [ Therefore, each puzzle plate 100 can be coupled to each other by a magnetic force, and each puzzle plate 100 can be separated without generating a magnetic force. This is to enable puzzle fitting to the puzzle plate 100 of the next stage when the fitting of the puzzle unit P to one puzzle plate 100 is completed. This will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 4 to 7. Fig.

When the puzzle fitting of the first puzzle plate 100a located at the uppermost position in the puzzle device in which the plurality of puzzle plates 100 are coupled to each other by the magnetic force is completed, the generation of the magnetic force of the first puzzle plate 100a The first puzzle plate 100a and the second puzzle plate 100b can be separated from each other. Accordingly, the user can enjoy puzzle fitting with respect to the second puzzle plate 100b exposed on the first top surface due to the removal of the first puzzle plate 100a. Similarly, when the puzzle fitting to the second puzzle plate 100b is completed, the second puzzle plate 100b stops the generation of the magnetic force of the second puzzle plate 100b, separates the second puzzle plate 100b from the third puzzle plate 100c, So that the plate 100c can be exposed on the top surface. Accordingly, the user can complete each puzzle plate 100 step by step and enjoy puzzle fitting sequentially.

4, the puzzle plate 100 includes a bottom plate 112, a frame frame 111, an electromagnet core 114, a magnetic body 115, a battery (not shown), a detection sensor 113, , And a control module (not shown).

The bottom plate 112 is a plate plate on which a plurality of puzzle units P are arranged. Therefore, the puzzle unit P separated into a plurality of pieces of pictures, photographs, patterns, etc. can be arranged on the bottom plate 112 in the shape of a plate plate in accordance with the pictures, photographs, and patterns of the user.

A battery (not shown) is a module that provides driving power to the electromagnet core 114, the control module (not shown), and the like. The battery may be implemented for disposable or removable charging.

The frame frame 111 is a frame that surrounds the perimeter of the bottom plate 112. The shape of the frame frame 111 may be embodied in a variety of shapes such as a circle, a triangle, and the like. The frame frame 111 may be made of various materials such as a plastic material, a magnetic material 115, and the like.

The magnetic body 115 can be embedded inside the frame frame 111, or can be implemented with the frame frame 111 itself. The magnetic substance 115 (magnetic substance) is a substance having magnetism that can be bonded in response to a magnetic force, and is a substance that magnetizes in a magnetic field. A magnetic body 115 having strong magnetism sticking to the magnet, or the like.

The electromagnet core 114 is embedded in the frame 111 and can generate magnetic force. The electromagnet core 114 is a coil-shaped core that generates a magnetic force by an electric current. A plurality of electromagnet cores 114 may be embedded in the frame 111. For example, when the frame frame 111 is implemented as a frame frame, the electromagnet core 114 may be embedded at each corner of the frame frame 111.

By providing the electromagnet core 114 and the magnetic body 115 on the frame 111 as described above, by the magnetic force generated in the electromagnet core 114 in the frame 111, The magnetic material 115 of the puzzle plate 111 is pulled and the coupling between the two puzzle plates 100 can be achieved as a result of the magnetic coupling between the frame frames 111. 5, when a magnetic force is generated in the first electromagnet core 114a in the first frame frame 111a of the first puzzle plate 100b, The second magnetic body 115b of the second frame frame 111b of the second puzzle plate 100b is pulled by the magnetic force so that the first frame frame 111a and the second frame frame 111b are engaged with each other. For reference, in the coupled state, the magnetic force of the electromagnet core 114 can be made large so that separation between adjacent frame frames 111 does not occur due to human an artificial force.

The detection sensor 113 detects the puzzle arrangement state of the puzzle unit P disposed on the bottom plate 112. [ The sensing sensor 113 may be implemented by a plurality of illuminance sensors arranged on the bottom plate 112 as shown in FIG. That is, the sensing sensor is implemented by a plurality of illuminance sensors provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate 112, and is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 112 using a roughness detected through the plurality of illuminance sensors. The puzzle arrangement state of the unit P can be detected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to detect that the puzzle unit P is disposed only about half of the entire area of the bottom plate 112 through the sensing sensor 113 implemented by the illuminance sensor. Similarly, although not shown, it is possible to sense that the puzzle unit P is disposed only about 1/4 of the total area of the bottom plate 112.

This is because light is not detected in the light intensity sensor located in the area where the puzzle unit P is disposed on the bottom plate 112 so that the placement state of the puzzle unit P arranged on the bottom plate 112 can be recognized do.

The control module (not shown) controls whether or not a magnetic force of the electromagnet core 114 is generated in accordance with the puzzle arrangement state sensed by the sensing sensor 113.

Control of the control module (not shown) The first embodiment prevents magnetic forces from being generated in the electromagnet core 114 when it is detected that all the puzzle units P are disposed on the entire area of the bottom plate 112. Therefore, since the magnetic force is not generated, it can be separated from the adjacent puzzle plate 100.

Magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet core 114 when the puzzle units P are not all disposed in the entire area of the bottom plate 112. [ For example, when all the puzzle units P are not disposed in the first puzzle plate 100a located at the top of the stacked layered puzzle apparatus 10, the first puzzle plate 100a The control module (not shown) of the first puzzle plate 100a generates a magnetic force in the first electromagnet core 114a in the first frame frame 111a of the first puzzle plate 100a, To be coupled with the second magnetic body 115b in the second frame frame 111b of the second puzzle plate 100b in contact with the first electromagnet core 114a in the frame frame 111a. Since the first puzzle plate 100a and the second puzzle plate 100b are coupled to each other, it is difficult to separate them.

Thereafter, when the placement of the puzzle is completed through the alignment of the puzzle unit P with respect to the first puzzle plate 100a and the illumination is not detected by the illuminance sensor, the puzzle unit P ), And controls the electromagnet core 114 so that no magnetic force is generated. Therefore, the user can remove the first puzzle plate 100a and enjoy the puzzle fitting of the second puzzle plate 100b only after performing the puzzle fitting with respect to the first puzzle plate 100a.

Further, the second control example of the control module (not shown) calculates the ratio of the layout area, which is the ratio of the area where the puzzle unit P is arranged to the total area of the bottom plate 112, The magnitude of the magnetic force can be controlled differently for the core 114. The ratio of the arrangement area of the puzzle unit P and the magnitude of the magnetic force may be in inverse proportion.

For example, the A / 4 magnetic force is generated when the puzzle unit P is disposed only in an area of 25% of the total area of the bottom plate 112 of the puzzle plate 100, 2A / 4 magnetic force is generated when the puzzle unit P is disposed only in an area of 50% of the entire area of the plate 112, and 75% of the total area of the bottom plate 112 of the puzzle plate 100, 3A / 4 magnetic force can be generated when the puzzle unit P is disposed only in the area of the puzzle unit P.

In this way, since the ratio of the arrangement area of the puzzle unit P and the size of the magnetic force have an inverse relationship, the user can reduce the force according to the progress rate of arranging the puzzle unit P in the puzzle plate 100, The plate 100 can be separated.

On the other hand, the area of the stacked puzzle board 100 does not necessarily have the same area. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 7, the plurality of puzzle plates 100 can have a smaller area as they are moved upward.

The frame rim 111 of each puzzle plate 100 includes a horizontal frame 1112 having one end horizontally adjacent to the bottom plate 112 and a vertical frame 1112 projecting at a right angle at the other end of the horizontal frame 1112, And a vertical frame 1111 that is formed of a metal plate. Therefore, when the second puzzle plate 100b is coupled to the lower side of the first puzzle plate 100a, the second puzzle plate 100b is formed on the bottom surface of the first vertical frame 1111a of the first puzzle plate 100a. And the upper surface of the two horizontal frames 1112b are brought into contact with each other. A handle (not shown) is provided on the upper surface of each vertical frame 1111 so that the user can remove the puzzle board 100 using the handle.

Magnetic bodies 115 (115a, 115b, 115c, and 115d) are built in each of the horizontal frames 1112a, 1112b, 1112c, and 1112d, and vertical frames 1111 (1111a, 1111b, 1111c 1111d, and 1111d, respectively, the electromagnet core 114 (114a, 114b, 1114c, 114d) is built in. The magnetic substance 115 of the horizontal frame 1112 of the puzzle plate 100 is coupled by the magnetic force of the electromagnet core 114 of the other vertical frame 1111 adjacent to the bottom.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are selected and presented in order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art from a variety of possible examples. The technical idea of the present invention is not necessarily limited to or limited to these embodiments Various changes, modifications, and other equivalent embodiments are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
