Further, magnetic parts 31 are also arranged inside the building block 1 to make the building block 1 adsorbed on other components. The other components here include other building blocks 1 with magnetic attraction function or metal material objects.
Preferably, the building block 1 includes a cover. The interior of the cover is provided with at least two installment cavities 3, and the magnetic parts 31 is arranged inside the installment cavities 3. At least one installment cavity 3 is respectively located at a top side and a bottom side of the cover.
Understandably, the top side and the bottom side of the cover are both provided with magnetic parts 31 to make it easier for users to have the building block 1 attracted other components.
Preferably, the magnetic force of the magnetic parts 31 located at the top side of the cover is opposite to that of the magnetic parts 31 located at the bottom side of the cover.
When users splice multiple building blocks 1 together, the ends of the two building blocks 1 with different magnetism must be brought close together so that they can attract each other. If the ends of the two building blocks 1 with the same magnetism are brought close together, they cannot attract together. By designing the magnetism of the building blocks 1, users need to follow specific steps to make multiple building blocks 1 forming a specific shape or figure. It makes playing building block 1 game more challenging and interesting.
Preferably, the power supply module 23 is a button battery. By arranging a button battery inside the building block 1 to supply power to the luminous unit 22, the building block 1 can glow without electronically connected to an external power source.
Preferably, the cover includes an installment cover 11, a top cover 12 and a bottom cover 13. Two ends of the installment cover 11 are provided with openings. The top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 can respectively close the openings at the two ends of the installment cover 11. The luminous unit 22 and the magnetic parts 31 are both arranged on the installment cover 11.
By arranging the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 to close the openings of the installment cover 11, the luminous unit 22 and the magnetic parts 31 can be retained in the installment cover 11 to prevent the loss of internal components.
Preferably, the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 are respectively detachably connected to the installment cover 11.
When the power supply module 23 runs out of power or the luminous unit 22 is broken, the luminous unit 22 will no longer glow. The detachable top cover 12 and bottom cover 13 allow users to open the installment cover 11 and replace the power supply module 23 or luminous unit 22 in time.
Further, the top cover 12 is provided with four first installment columns 121, the bottom cover 13 is provided with four second installment column 131. The two ends of the installment cover 11 are respectively provided with four first installment holes 111 and four second installment holes 112. The first installment columns 121 are adapted to the first installment holes 111, and the second installment columns 131 are adapted to the second installment holes 112, so as to connect the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 to the installment cover 11 respectively.
Preferably, the interior of the installment cover 11 is provided with a first division plate 113 dividing the installment cover 11 into two spaces. Two sides of the first division plate are provided with a number of second division plates. One second division plate 114 encloses around the angle side wall of the installment cover 11 to form one installment cavity 3, where the magnetic parts 31 are arranged.
In this embodiment, four second division plates 114 are arranged on the same side of the first division plate 113 to enclose around the four angles side wall of the installment cover 11 to form four installment cavities 3. The four installment cavities 3 correspond to the four corners of the installment cover 11 respectively. The magnetic parts 31 are arranged in the installment cavities 3 to make the magnetic force of the building block 1 evenly distributed so that the building block 1 can be stably adsorbed on other components.
When the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 are connected to the installment cover 11, the installment cavities 3 are closed. The magnetic parts 31 are closely locked inside the installment cover 11, thereby ensuring that the magnetic attraction points are fixed.
A through hole is arranged in the center of the first division plate 113 for the luminous unit 22 to pass through. The size of the through hole is larger than that of the luminous unit 22 so that the luminous unit 22 can illuminate two spaces inside divided by the first division plate 113 at the same time.
Preferably, the installment cover 11, the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 are all made of a light-transmitting material, which allows the light source inside the building block 1 to penetrate better, which make the building block 1 glow better, more evenly and brightly as a whole, so as to enhance the visual appeal.
Preferably, the top cover 12 includes a pressing area 122. The interior of the installment cover 11 is provided with a switch 21, which is used to turn on or off the luminous unit 22. The pressing area 122 is located above the switch 21, and the pressing area 122 can elastically move relative to the top cover 12 to trigger the switch 21.
Further, the pressing area 122 and the top cover 12 are integrally formed, and a hollow-out groove 123 is arranged between a portion of the pressing area 122 and the top cover 12.
Understandably, users can trigger the switch 21 through the pressing area 122 to switch the luminous unit 22 between turning on and off.
Further, the pressing area 122 and the top cover 12 are both made of elastic material, such as plastic material. By utilizing the elasticity of the plastic material, the pressing area 122 will elastically return to the initial state when no external force is applied on the pressing area.
It should be noted that the switch 21 in this embodiment is a self-locking switch, which is a common button switch. When the switch 21 is pressed for the first time, the switch 21 is turned on and maintained. That is, self-locking. When the switch 21 is pressed for the second time, the switch 21 is turned off and pops out. It can be seen that users can keep the luminous unit 22 on by pressing it once, and the luminous unit 22 can be turned off by pressing it for the second time.
Preferably, a connection plate 2 is further arranged inside the luminous building block 1. The interior of the installment cover 11 is provide with supporting columns 115 used to support the connection plate 2. The luminous unit 22, the power supply module 23 and the switch 21 are all arranged on the connection plate 2.
Specifically, the supporting columns 115 are arranged on one side of the second division plate 114 facing the center of the installment cover 11. Each second division plates 114 is provided with a support column 115. A plurality of supporting columns 115 together support the connection plate 2. When the top cover 12 is connected to the installment cover 11, the top cover 12 and the supporting columns 115 jointly clamp and fix the connection plate 2 to ensure that the connection plate 2 does not shake.
