Description

The proposed utility model relates to construction designers, and can be used in any field of activity where a combination of various elements is required. According to the claimed technical solution, any surfaces of regular polyhedrons with similar surfaces with the same arrangement of magnets can be fixed.

A toy of the type of constructor is known from the prior art (patent for invention RU 2310493, publ. November 20, 2007 Bull. No. 32), having many parts of a multifaceted shape with connecting surfaces that are configured to connect to other connecting surfaces of other parts, and containing parts, respectively, having magnetic parts on their connecting surfaces, while the magnetic part of the part and the magnetic part on the connecting surface of the parts are configured to be connected to each other by their magnets strong magnetic field, and the magnetic part contains a magnet, both magnetic poles of which are located in opposite directions, while the magnet is installed in the recess for mounting the magnet formed in the part, and means for preventing separation to prevent the magnet from separating from the recess for installing the magnet, this allowing rotation of the magnet in the inner space of the recess for mounting the magnet, and the means of preventing separation includes an axis of rotation mounted in the center between the two magnetic poles of the magnet, and a recess for mounting the axis of rotation formed on the inner surface of the recess for mounting the magnet so that the axis of rotation is parallel to the outer surface of the part. The closest in technical essence is a game constructor (patent for utility model RU 159548, publ. 02/10/2016 Bull. No. 4), including a soft block game designer, characterized in that it is made in the form of a prism, contains neodymium magnets mounted on the side the edges of the soft block with the possibility of matching it with another similar block. Neodymium magnets of positive polarity are located on one diagonal of the prism face, and neodymium magnets of negative polarity are located on the other diagonal of the prism face, while the distance between the neodymium magnets and from neodymium magnets to the edges of the prism is the same. The disadvantage of this design is that the blocks cannot be interconnected at any relative positions. The location of the magnets on the verge of a product similar to that shown in figure 1. With this arrangement of magnets, the connection of parts is not possible in all positions. Examples of joining (connecting) the faces of element 1 and element 2 are shown in FIG. 2, where a is the direct docking (connection) of the elements when turning 0 °, b - when the element 2 is rotated 90 °, c - when the element 2 is rotated 180 °, g - when the element 2 is rotated 270 °.

The technical problem to which the utility model is directed is to develop magnetic fastening of surfaces of equilateral polyhedra with another similar surface, where two similar polygons have the same dimensions and the same arrangement of magnetic elements on their surface. Particular examples: an equilateral triangle with a similar equilateral triangle, an equilateral quadrangle (square) with a similar equilateral quadrangle (square), an equilateral pentagon with a similar regular pentagon, an equilateral N-gon with a similar regular N-gon, where N is a natural number and N ≥ 3.

This problem is solved due to the fact that the designer’s part is made in the form of a polyhedron, contains magnets mounted on the face of the polyhedron with the possibility of matching it with another similar part, each face of the polygon contains at least two magnets of different magnetization, while the center of the magnet is positive of magnetization and the center of the magnet of negative magnetization are located on the line parallel to the prism face and equidistant from the perpendicular to its edge, built through the center of the face .

The technical result provided by the given set of features is the ability to connect the surfaces (faces) of regular polyhedra with another similar surface (face) for any relative position, due to the specific arrangement of magnets on the face.

The part is made in the form of a prism (polyhedron) - with a flat surface of all its faces. Fixing magnets on its side faces allows without additional fastenings protruding above the surface of the part to reliably interconnect parts in horizontal and vertical planes, which makes it possible to create both flat and three-dimensional structures. Private use of details: a game constructor, as well as gymnastic mats, ottomans or cushioning tools when falling, pillows on the windowsill, pillows on furniture and other features. Parts can also be a solid surface (wood, plastic, etc.) The base of the prism (polygon) can be any polygon (triangle, square, rectangle, etc.), which allows you to make a variety of appearance of the parts.

The magnets used to connect parts are located on the faces of the parts. The strength of the magnet allows you to create large-sized durable reliable and unique flat and three-dimensional figures that do not collapse during the game, or other use. Due to the special arrangement of magnets, designer parts can be connected to each other at any position. The number of magnets on one face is determined by the necessary adhesion force, which depends on the mass of the part and the length of its side face. Designer parts can be protected by a cover. Magnets can be placed in the inner case, can be mounted directly on the case without using an internal case. Magnetic elements can be placed in a “pocket”, the dimensions of which can exceed the dimensions of the magnetic element itself by 50%, inside the pocket the magnetic element can be displaced. Any magnetized elements can be used as magnets: electromagnets creating a constant magnetic field, neodymium magnets, ferrite magnets, etc.

In order for the parts to be interconnected at any relative positions, the magnets are arranged as follows. Each face of the N-gon must have at least two magnets of different polarity, while the center of the magnet with positive polarity and the center of the magnet with negative polarity should be located symmetrically with respect to the line of the perpendicular dropped to the edge from the center of the prism face.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

figure 1 is an example of the location of the magnets on the blocks of the patent analogue;

Where

m– - magnet with negative magnetization

m + - magnet with positive magnetization

t is the distance of the removal of magnets from the edge

1 - magnets

2 - perpendicular (diagonal)

3 - edge of the face.

A magnetic pair is a set of two magnets, one of which is with positive magnetization, and the other with negative.

Figure 3 shows the basic principle of the arrangement of magnets. The face of the N-gon is the side of the triangle ABC. AE is the perpendicular from the top of the triangle to the edge of the face of the N-gon. Magnet m- must be inscribed (inside) of triangle ABE. The m + magnet must be inscribed (inside) the ACE triangle. Magnets m- and m + can be interchanged. Magnets of a magnetic pair should have an equal distance t from the edge BC of the sector of the prism face. Thus, the magnetic pair is located inside the sector of the edge of the prism face, which is an isosceles triangle constructed from the edge of the polygon to the center of the polygon.

Inside the triangle ABC, an arbitrary number of magnetic pairs is allowed, including positive and negative magnets (Fig. 4, a). Using several magnetic pairs (a pair of magnets with positive and negative magnetizations) inside the ABC sector, several problems are solved:

- uniform distribution of magnets provides a more tight grip of the pads,

- several magnetic pairs can be cheaper than one strong magnetic pair, however, due to the uniform distribution in the ABC sector, stronger adhesion is provided.

Figures 5-7 show that with different rotation options (in the rotation positions of the faces around their axis by 0⁰, 90⁰, 180⁰, 270⁰) of the parts to each other, the faces of the polygons join. Such a connection is not possible when using an analog.

Magnetic pairs should be inside the sectors constructed through the points of the prism edge and the center of the polygon. In a magnetic pair, the center of the magnet of positive magnetization and the center of the magnet of negative magnetization are located on a line parallel to the prism face and equidistant from the perpendicular built through the center of the prism face.

To obtain a flat or three-dimensional figure, parts selected by size and shape must be attached to each other so that their side faces are in contact. Due to the magnets on the side faces of the part, they are firmly and reliably connected to each other with the receipt of various options for flat and three-dimensional figures.
