Description

Active building blocks

The present invention relates to a building block, in particular a plurality of building blocks that can be rotated in two orthogonal directions after assembly to adjust the movable building blocks of various shapes.

Traditional building blocks are combined in a stacked manner. Later modified blocks allow the blocks to be fixedly or positionally connected (eg Lego bricks). However, all the conventional building blocks cannot be changed into new shapes after being combined into a shape. If a new shape is to be obtained, the blocks must be disassembled and re-stacked or grouped.

The purpose of this creation is to provide a movable building block, so that after the building blocks are combined into one shape, the building blocks can be directly bent and adjusted to be transformed into a new shape without disassembling the combined building blocks.

The present invention provides a movable building block having a base, a first side of the base forming a first connecting portion, and a second connecting portion of the base opposite to a second side of the first side, Wherein, one movable building block is connected to the second connecting portion or the first connecting portion of another movable building block through the first connecting portion or the second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion has a convex block, and the protruding block has a convex block Forming a center hole penetrating in a first direction, and forming an opening communicating with the center hole in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the protrusion in the first direction An outer surface of at least one side of the block is formed with a plurality of first positioning portions arranged in a ring shape centered on the center hole; the second connecting portion includes a pair of side walls symmetrically disposed in the second direction, the pair Connecting a rotation axis parallel to the second direction between the sidewalls, and the opposite inner side surfaces of at least one of the sidewalls of the sidewalls form at least one second positioning portion corresponding to the first positioning portion; wherein the bump matching combination In this Between the pair of side walls, and the shaft enters through the opening of the central bore, so that between the two building blocks in the central bore of the shaft and a circle can be rotated.

In an embodiment, the movable building block of the present invention may be formed with a plurality of first positioning portions arranged in a ring shape centering on the center hole in an outer surface of opposite sides of the protrusion in the first direction, and The opposite inner side surfaces of the pair of side walls each form at least one second positioning portion that can correspondingly match the first positioning portions. With this configuration, when the two blocks are rotated to a position by the rotating shaft, the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion can be matched and positioned with each other.

In an embodiment, a width of the opening toward a first end of the central hole may be smaller than a width of a second end relatively far from the first end, and a diameter of the rotating shaft is larger than a width of the first end but smaller than the first The width of the two ends. With this configuration, the shaft can enter the opening via the wide second end and forcefully enter the center hole through the first end, thereby preventing the shaft from coming off the center hole.

Preferably, the first positioning portion may be a recess, and the at least one second positioning portion may be a convex portion corresponding to the recess.

In an embodiment, at least one of the concave portions may be a large concave portion having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the convex portion; by the structure, the convex portion is at a position corresponding to the large concave portion. It can be shaken slightly.

In one embodiment, the movable building block of the present invention may have two large recesses, and the two large recesses are symmetrically disposed on both sides of a line connecting the center of the center hole and the center of the opening.

In an embodiment, the movable building block of the present invention may have two such convex portions in at least one of the side walls, and the two convex portions are disposed at 180 degrees apart from each other with the axis of the rotating shaft. By this structure, the rotation between the two blocks can be made more balanced and stable.

By the above-mentioned building block structure, the building block can be directly rotated and bent under the shape to be transformed into a new shape after being assembled into a shape, and the assembled building block can be disassembled without providing the player to provide another player. A choice of building blocks.

The implementation of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and component symbols, so that those skilled in the art can implement the present specification after studying the present specification.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the first connecting portion 12 preferably has a bump 120 formed with a central hole 14 penetrating in a first direction, and the bump is formed at the bump An opening 16 that communicates with the center hole 14 is formed in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; specifically, the first direction is the direction of the X axis shown in FIG. 1, and the second direction is The direction of the Y-axis shown in FIG. 1; the axis A of the central bore 14 is parallel to the X-axis, and the opening 16 communicates with the central bore 14 in the direction of the Y-axis. Furthermore, a width W1 of the opening 16 facing a first end of the central hole is smaller than a width W2 of a second end relatively far from the first end, so as to form a first inclined surface 161 and a corresponding one on opposite sides of the opening 16 respectively. Second slope 162.

Furthermore, the present invention can further form a plurality of first positioning portions 18 that are annularly arranged with the axis of the central hole 14 as a circle, on the outer surface of at least one side of the bump 120 in the first direction. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer surfaces of the opposite sides of the bumps 120 in the first direction are formed with a plurality of first positioning portions 18 arranged in a ring shape centered on the central hole 14; The first positioning portion 18 may be a recess, preferably a recess having a circular contour. Further, at least one of the first positioning portions 18 may be formed as a large recess 20; for example, there may be two large recesses 20, and the two large recesses 20 are symmetrically disposed at a center corresponding to the center hole 14. Relative sides.

The second connecting portion 22 includes a pair of side walls 220 extending from the base 10 and symmetrically disposed in the second direction, the distance between the pair of side walls 220 substantially corresponding to the width of the bumps 120, such that The protrusion 120 may be inserted between the two side walls 220; furthermore, a rotating shaft 24 parallel to the second direction is connected between the two side walls 220 such that the axis of the rotating shaft 24 is orthogonal to the axis A of the central hole 14; The diameter is greater than the width W1 of the first end of the opening 16 but smaller than the width of the second end W2; and at least one of the opposite inner side surfaces of the side walls 220 of the side walls 220 is formed to correspond to the first positioning portion 18 Preferably, the second positioning portion 26 defines a second positioning portion 26 corresponding to the first positioning portion 18 on both sides of the matching protrusion 120 on the opposite inner side surfaces of the two side walls 220; preferably formed on the inner side surface of the side wall 220 Two convex portions are disposed, and the two convex portions are disposed at 180 degrees apart from each other around the axis B of the rotating shaft 24.
