Abstract

Provided is a steering assembly and building block comprising the steering assembly. The steering assembly comprises a housing, a bracket (2) disposed in the housing, a driving bevel gear (31) and three driven bevel gears (32). The bracket (2) is provided with four pins (21) that are in a same plane and perpendicular to each other. The driving bevel gear (31) and the driven bevel gears (32) are rotatably fixed on the pins (21), and the driving bevel gear (31) and/or driven bevel gears (32) that are adjacent are engaged with each other. The steering assembly and the building block do not need to be rebuilt when needing to be steered to a certain direction during a building process, and only a different number of steering assemblies needs to be used to carry out assembly so as to achieve necessary steering. Meanwhile, the steering assembly occupies a small space.

Description

Steering component and building block

Technical field

The invention relates to the field of puzzle building blocks, in particular to a steering assembly and a building block.

Background technique

In the current building blocks, there are many places that need to be turned during the force transmission process.

For example, the building block shown in Figure 1 can only provide steering in both the left and right directions. If it is necessary to increase the steering in other directions, it may need to be rebuilt, or directly increase the structure shown in Figure 1 for steering. This will take up a lot of volume.

Summary of the invention

In view of the problems in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a steering assembly that requires no re-construction when it is required to turn to a certain direction during the construction of the building block, and only needs to use a different number of steering components. When assembled, the required steering can be achieved; at the same time, the steering assembly takes up less space.

The invention provides a steering assembly, comprising a housing, a bracket disposed in the housing, a driving bevel and three driven cone teeth, the bracket is provided with four pins in the same plane and perpendicular to each other, and the active bevel The driven bevel teeth are rotatably fixed to the pin shaft, and the adjacent driving bevel teeth and/or the driven taper teeth mesh with each other.

Further, the driving bevel teeth are connected to the first connecting portion, and the driven taper teeth are connected to the second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion can be engaged with the second connecting portion.

Further, the housing is a hollow, positive cube.

Further, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are disposed on a surface of the positive cube of the housing.

Further, a surface of the positive cube provided with the first connecting portion is provided with a first buckle, and a surface of the regular cube provided with the second connecting portion is provided with a flange.

Further, the first buckle includes four strip snaps disposed along the edge of the regular cube.

Further, the flange is located on the outer side of the outwardly extending square projection on the surface of the cube.

Further, the housing includes a first housing and a second housing connected by a second snap.

The present invention also provides a building block comprising the above steering assembly.

Further, two or more steering assemblies are coupled to the second connecting portion through the first connecting portion to effect steering in the force transmission.

Compared with the prior art, the steering assembly and the building block provided by the invention have the following beneficial effects: during the construction of the building block, when it is required to turn to a certain direction, it is not necessary to re-build, and only a different number of steering components are needed. The required steering can be achieved by assembly; at the same time the steering assembly takes up less space.

detailed description

The present invention provides a building block that includes a steering assembly that is capable of achieving the desired steering through the steering assembly.

As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, a steering assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a bracket 2 disposed in the housing, a driving bevel 31 and three driven cone teeth 32, and the bracket 2 is disposed at a position Four pin shafts 21 in the same plane and perpendicular to each other, the driving cone teeth 31 and the driven cone teeth 32 are rotatably fixed to the pin shaft 21, and the adjacent driving cone teeth 31 and/or the driven cone teeth 32 mesh with each other. .

The driving bevel 31 is connected to the first connecting portion 41, and the driven bevel 32 is connected to the second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion 41 can be engaged with the second connecting portion.

The housing is a hollow, positive cube.

The housing includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that are connected by a second buckle 13.

The first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion are provided on the surface of the cube of the housing 1.

A first buckle is provided on the surface 14 of the cube which is provided with the first connecting portion 41, and a flange 151 is provided on the surface 15 of the cube which is provided with the second connecting portion.

The first buckle includes four strip snaps 141 disposed along the edge of the regular cube.

The first connecting portion 41 is a first hollow cylinder, and the hollow portion 411 has a rectangular cross section cut into four corners.

The second connecting portion includes a first cylindrical body 421 and a second hollow cylindrical body 422 having a rectangular cross section cut into four corners, and the first hollow cylindrical body is embedded between the first cylindrical body 421 and the second hollow cylindrical body 422.

The flange 151 is located on the outside of the outwardly extending square projection 152 on the surface 15 of the cube.

Two or more steering assemblies are coupled to the second connection through the first connection to effect steering in the force transmission.

The above has described in detail the preferred embodiments of the invention. It will be appreciated that many modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the prior art based on the prior art by logic analysis, reasoning or limited experimentation should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
