Description
本発明は、立体的な三次元表現が可能な組立ブロックに関するものである。
The present invention relates to an assembly block capable of three-dimensional three-dimensional expression.
従来、主流の組立ブロックは、一面に1~複数個の突起部を設け、その反対側は突起を包み込み、突起を側面から押さえて固定できる篏合壁面が設けられた構造で、1方向にしか篏合できない。これに対し、特許文献1の組立ブロックは、3方向(横方向、高さ方向、奥行き方向)に突起とそれに篏合する凹部を備えるため、3方向に篏合が可能となり、複雑な形状を容易に組み立てることができる。
Conventionally, the mainstream assembly block has a structure in which one or more protrusions are provided on one surface, the opposite side wraps the protrusions, and the protrusions can be pressed and fixed from the side surface, and the structure is provided in only one direction. I can't match. On the other hand, since the assembly block of Patent Document 1 is provided with protrusions and recesses that fit into the protrusions in three directions (horizontal direction, height direction, and depth direction), it is possible to fit them in three directions, resulting in a complicated shape. Easy to assemble.
しかし、特許文献1の組立ブロックは、全ての突起部および全ての凹部が面の中央にあるため、ブロックの成型方法が複雑となり、作製が難しい点等が問題となる。また特許文献2の組立ブロックは、作製上、特許文献1のような複雑さはないといえるが、立体的な表現をするため上記3方向に広がる組立てをするには、接続部材の役割を担う異なる形状のブロックを組み合わせる必要がある。
さらに従来の組立ブロックは静的な鑑賞用であり、動的に動作させるには外部配線および駆動系の付加が必要であり、それらを考慮したものではなかった。 However, in the assembly block ofPatent Document 1, since all the protrusions and all the recesses are in the center of the surface, the method of molding the block becomes complicated and it is difficult to manufacture the block. Further, although it can be said that the assembly block of Patent Document 2 is not as complicated as Patent Document 1 in terms of production, it plays the role of a connecting member in order to assemble the assembly so as to spread in the above three directions in order to express three-dimensionally. It is necessary to combine blocks of different shapes.
Furthermore, the conventional assembly block is for static viewing, and it is necessary to add external wiring and a drive system to operate it dynamically, and these are not taken into consideration.

Consolidation between blocks can be reliably maintained, and electrical connection between blocks is also possible.

まずは本発明の第一実施形態に係る立方体組立ブロックを図1~図3を用いて説明する。
図1は側面に1対の凹凸篏合部を持つ組立ブロックの実施例で、図1(a)と図1(bは)各々その上面方向からの斜視図と下面方向からの斜視図を示す。立方体1の上面12に凸部Aを持ち、下面13には上面12の凸部Aと篏合する凹部Bを持つ。上面12と下面13を囲む側面14,15,16,17は各面毎に凸部C(代表部のみ記号付)と凹部D(代表部のみ記号付)を隣接して持つ。側面の凹凸部は全て上面12、下面13に垂直に形成され、かつ一端が上面もしくは下面と一致する。側面14の凹凸部D,Cは対抗する側面16の凸凹部C,Dと篏合する。側面15凹凸部D,Cは対抗する側面17の凸凹部C,Dと篏合する。 First, the cube assembly block according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
FIG. 1 is an example of an assembly block having a pair of uneven joint portions on the side surface, and FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) show a perspective view from the upper surface direction and a perspective view from the lower surface direction, respectively. .. Theupper surface 12 of the cube 1 has a convex portion A, and the lower surface 13 has a concave portion B that is aligned with the convex portion A of the upper surface 12. The side surfaces 14, 15, 16 and 17 surrounding the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13 have a convex portion C (with a symbol only for the representative portion) and a concave portion D (with a symbol only for the representative portion) adjacent to each surface. All the uneven portions on the side surface are formed perpendicular to the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13, and one end coincides with the upper surface or the lower surface. The uneven portions D and C of the side surface 14 are aligned with the uneven portions C and D of the opposing side surface 16. The uneven portions D and C of the side surface 15 are aligned with the uneven portions C and D of the opposite side surface 17.
図1は側面に1対の凹凸篏合部を持つ組立ブロックの実施例で、図1(a)と図1(bは)各々その上面方向からの斜視図と下面方向からの斜視図を示す。立方体1の上面12に凸部Aを持ち、下面13には上面12の凸部Aと篏合する凹部Bを持つ。上面12と下面13を囲む側面14,15,16,17は各面毎に凸部C(代表部のみ記号付)と凹部D(代表部のみ記号付)を隣接して持つ。側面の凹凸部は全て上面12、下面13に垂直に形成され、かつ一端が上面もしくは下面と一致する。側面14の凹凸部D,Cは対抗する側面16の凸凹部C,Dと篏合する。側面15凹凸部D,Cは対抗する側面17の凸凹部C,Dと篏合する。 First, the cube assembly block according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
FIG. 1 is an example of an assembly block having a pair of uneven joint portions on the side surface, and FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) show a perspective view from the upper surface direction and a perspective view from the lower surface direction, respectively. .. The
側面14~17に凹部Dと凸部Cを同時に持つことにより、篏合部が篏合後に上下面方向にずれることが防止され、組立ブロック間の結合が安定する。
By having the concave portion D and the convex portion C on the side surfaces 14 to 17 at the same time, it is possible to prevent the combined portion from shifting in the vertical direction after the combined portion, and the connection between the assembly blocks is stable.
側面14~17の凹凸部壁が上面12、下面13と垂直で、凹凸部壁が互いに隣接し、さらに隣接壁と対抗する壁が上面12もしくは下面13と接する構造は、組立ブロックを作製する際に、凹凸部壁が接する面で分割する型枠を用いることにより、容易に組立ブロックを作製することができる。
A structure in which the uneven wall of the side surfaces 14 to 17 is perpendicular to the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13, the uneven wall is adjacent to each other, and the wall facing the adjacent wall is in contact with the upper surface 12 or the lower surface 13 is used when the assembly block is manufactured. In addition, an assembly block can be easily manufactured by using a formwork that is divided at the surface where the uneven wall is in contact.
上面12、下面13、および側面14~17に形成された凹凸部D,Cの側壁は図2の凹凸篏合部の断面形状に示すように基部に対し外に向かって広がる傾斜を持つことにより、篏合後の篏合部が基面に垂直にずれることが防止され、篏合が安定する。組立ブロックはABS樹脂等の剛性および弾性を持つ材質で形成されるが、篏合時に組立ブロック材の弾性限界を超えない程度に歪ませることにより、篏合の安定性を保持することができる。この歪み量が大きすぎると篏合を繰り返した時の耐久性が低下する。
The side walls of the concavo-convex portions D and C formed on the upper surface 12, the lower surface 13, and the side surfaces 14 to 17 have an inclination that spreads outward with respect to the base as shown in the cross-sectional shape of the concavo-convex combined portion in FIG. , It is prevented that the combined portion after the combination is vertically displaced from the base surface, and the combination is stable. The assembly block is made of a rigid and elastic material such as ABS resin, but the stability of the assembly can be maintained by distorting the assembly block material to the extent that it does not exceed the elastic limit of the assembly block material. If this amount of strain is too large, the durability when the merging is repeated is lowered.
この歪みは、力学的には「片持ち梁」モデルで考察することができる。基端を固定した水平の片持ち梁の先端に荷重した時に片持ち梁が傾斜し、応力は固定部に集中する。固定部の応力が弾性限界を超えると塑性変形が発生する。塑性変形を起こさない限界の傾斜角度は、経験上5度以下である。さらに弾性体の取り扱いの経験から、歪み角度が経験上3度以上になると繰り返し歪みに対する耐久性が低下することが判った。従って、凹凸部D,C壁面の基面に対する(広がり)傾斜角度2は5度以下が必要であり、さらに繰り返しの耐久性を向上させるには、傾斜角度2は3度以下が望ましい。また、篏合を容易にするためには、側壁先端部3は鈍角化しておくことが望ましい。
This distortion can be mechanically considered with the "cantilever" model. When a load is applied to the tip of a horizontal cantilever with a fixed base end, the cantilever tilts and stress is concentrated on the fixed portion. When the stress of the fixed portion exceeds the elastic limit, plastic deformation occurs. Experience shows that the limit inclination angle at which plastic deformation does not occur is 5 degrees or less. Furthermore, from experience in handling elastic bodies, it was found from experience that the durability against repeated strains decreases when the strain angle is 3 degrees or more. Therefore, the (spreading) inclination angle 2 with respect to the base surface of the uneven portions D and C wall surfaces needs to be 5 degrees or less, and in order to further improve the durability of repetition, the inclination angle 2 is preferably 3 degrees or less. Further, in order to facilitate the alignment, it is desirable that the side wall tip portion 3 has an obtuse angle.
本実施形態における組立ブロックで組み立てた八角堂模型4を図3に示す。従来の一方向篏合ブロックや接続用部品の必要なブロック(特許文献2)とは異なり、1種類のブロックのみで3方向(横方向、高さ方向及び奥行き方向、より具体的には、3次元空間の直交座標系の空間内で互いに直交する3本の数直線X軸、 Y軸、Z軸方向のことをいう)に接続が広がり、複雑で立体的な形状を容易に作製することができる。
FIG. 3 shows an octagonal model 4 assembled with the assembly block in this embodiment. Unlike the conventional one-way integrated block and the block that requires connecting parts (Patent Document 2), only one type of block is used in three directions (horizontal direction, height direction and depth direction, more specifically, 3). In the space of the Cartesian coordinate system of the dimensional space, the connection is widened to three number straight lines X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions that are orthogonal to each other), and it is possible to easily create a complicated and three-dimensional shape. can.
本実施形態の組立ブロックは図1に示すブロックを単位とするが、図3のような複雑な形状を簡単に組み立てるために予め複数個のブロックを結合した形状のブロックを作製することができる。また、基本形状を立方体で説明したが、直方体の適用も可能である。
