The present invention relates to a field of building block toys, and specifically relates to an assembly structure for building block puzzle, and building block toys.
BACKGROUNDIn the field of building block in the art, a building block baseboard (constructing base) is an integrated unmovable single baseboard for building blocks. Owing to its immobility, when a plurality of building block puzzle pieces are assembled on the building block baseboard, there is no gap or a minimal gap between the building blocks. When one building block therein is surrounded by other building blocks, owing to that the building block puzzle pieces are tightly around after assembly, if the building block in the middle is to be disassembled, it is necessary to disassemble the building blocks from the edge position piece by piece to fulfill the disassembly. Besides, such disassembly is inconvenient in use. Before the disclosure of the present application, there's no related teach in the prior art, nor any reports of how to solve such problem. It is a problem that has never been solved in the field of building block, and there's no building block product that solves this problem at home and abroad. By several years of research, the applicant has tried a plurality of solutions but cannot solve the above problem properly, especially with low cost and high efficiency. Whereas, using a complicated structure to solve the problem of disassembly may not require inventive work, but it needs a relatively high cost and is unfavorable to a mass production. Even the complicated structure is unsafe to users, like children, and thus it cannot be popularized. Therefore, the key of the present invention is to creatively solve the problem that has never been solved in the field of building blocks, by a design which is nearly the most simple, the safest and the most reliable, and has the most compatibility. It may seems very simple after the disclosure of the present application, but those skilled in the art hasn't found a good solutions before the disclosure of the present application, including that the applicant didn't figure out an excellent solution before. However, as some inventions that are commonly accepted and complimented by people, the present invention ingeniously solves the problem that has never been solved before with a solution which is nearly the simplest, the most reliable with least cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAn objective of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks in the prior art, and to provide an assembly structure for building block puzzle, and building block toys.
The objective of the present invention is realized by at least one of the following technical solutions.
An assembly structure for building block puzzle, includes a movable building block constructing piece and a constructing base. and the movable building block constructing piece is supported on the constructing base by an elastic member, the elastic member achieves compression under an effect of an external pressure which acts on the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base, and makes the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base move relatively close to each other, and when the external pressure disappears, the elastic member supports the movable building block constructing piece to return to a normal position by a pre-pressure.
Further, a relationship between the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base is a one-to-one assembly relationship, a size of one constructing base only satisfies supporting one movable building block constructing piece, and meanwhile a module is made up of the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base, a bottom surface structure of the constructing base is consistent with that of a building block, so that the module has a function of the building block; and a top surface of the movable building block constructing piece shows a building block pattern or has a structure for plugging a bottom of the building block (a structure consistent with a baseboard of a building block puzzle in the prior art can be used, for example holes and cylinders of building block are provided for assembling the building blocks).
Further, a relationship between the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base is a many-to-one assembly relationship, i.e. a plurality of said movable building block constructing pieces are assembled on said one constructing base, the constructing base is an integrated structure, each of the movable building block constructing pieces is supported on the constructing base independently by the elastic member, and each of the movable building block constructing pieces moves relatively close to the constructing base under the effect of the external pressure; the plurality of said movable building block constructing pieces are arranged at equal height over said one constructing base, top surfaces of a plurality of said movable building block constructing pieces are arranged as a structure for plugging a plurality of said building blocks to complete the puzzle, and the top surface of the movable building block constructing piece has a structure for plugging a bottom of one building block (a structure consistent with a baseboard of a building block puzzle in the prior art can be used, for example holes and cylinders of building block are provided for assembling the building blocks).

The upper limit member may be a protrusion on an outer side face of the movable building block constructing piece, and the lower limit member may be a protrusion on an inner side face of the constructing base. The external pressure acting on the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base makes two protrusions squeeze over each other to achieve the snap-fit, and prevents separation between the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base when the elastic member rebounds (the separation according to the present invention referring to the return or return process of a spring makes the movable building block constructing piece separate from the constructing base).

In order to make the joining as stable as possible, the movement in this parallel direction should be minimized).
Further, a distance by which the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base move relatively closest to each other is limited by one or more of the respective side walls, the upper limit member and the lower limit member, or is limited by a press-limit member provided additionally, and the press-limit member is provided inside at least one of the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base.
Further, the elastic member is a spring (it may be any member that rebounds after being compressed, for example, a spring piece and the like), and the spring is prevented from shifting in a non-stretch direction by a member provided inside at least one of the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base with a height less than a length of the spring (it may be a hollow cylinder located at an outer side or an inner side of the spring), or the spring is prevented from shifting in the non-stretch direction by at least one of the side wall of the movable building block constructing piece and the side wall of the constructing base. The movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base are generally in the shape of rectangle.

In addition, the movable building block constructing piece and the constructing base make up a module, and a bottom of the constructing base in a single module may be a standard hole structure of building block, not only having an advantage of a movable constructing baseboard, but also matching with a conventional baseboard for building block when in use, without being limited to the size. Users can assemble puzzles at will as the size they want, and products are given more use possibilities.
