Description

Three-dimensional labyrinth structure with switchable path changes

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional labyrinth structure with switchable path changes, in particular to a three-dimensional labyrinth body that rotates each layer unit of a three-dimensional labyrinth body at different levels to switch and change the bead relative to each of the block units and the path of the labyrinth Innovative structure designer who can greatly increase the difficulty of the maze to enhance the functions of puzzle and entertainment.

According to the general knowledge, most of the maze structure is a flat design, that is, a maze path is divided by a plurality of horizontal and vertical partitions, and a ball can travel in the maze path to achieve the effect of puzzle and entertainment. However, the maze path of the conventional maze structure is relatively simple because it is set on a plane, and the user can easily get out of the maze. Even if the change of the partition makes the maze path more complicated to increase the difficulty, the difficulty is still Extremely limited, and can not make the difficulty of the maze even higher. Although there is a pen-shaped three-dimensional labyrinth, a plurality of partitions are arranged in the penholder at intervals, and a labyrinth path is formed by the notches provided on the partitions, so that a ball inside can pass through the notches on the partitions in sequence. Going downwards, in order to achieve the function of a three-dimensional labyrinth, so that the balls can travel from up to down. However, the difficulty of the conventional pen-shaped three-dimensional maze is also extremely limited. The user can easily walk out of the maze path by moving the balls one after another, and the pen-shaped three-dimensional maze is also difficult to effectively increase the difficulty of the maze. It cannot achieve better educational and entertainment effects; therefore, in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional structure, how to develop an innovative structure that is more ideal and practical, and it is also related to the industry that is eagerly awaited by consumers. Efforts must be made to research and develop breakthrough goals and directions.

That is, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional labyrinth structure with switchable path changes; the problem to be solved is to address the conventional pen-shaped three-dimensional labyrinth, and its difficulty is extremely limited. Step by step, you can easily walk out of the maze path. The pen-shaped three-dimensional maze can hardly increase the difficulty of the maze effectively, and cannot achieve better puzzle and entertainment effects. The problem points can be improved and breakthrough; The technical features for solving the problem mainly include a three-dimensional labyrinth body with a six-sided cube shape, which is co-constructed by 26 sets of block units and a central base axis, and each end of the three-dimensional labyrinth body Nine sets of block units are arranged in a nine-square grid. Each block unit is arranged in three rows and constitutes a total of nine sets of layered units. Each layered unit rotates around a central base axis. The position of each block unit can be changed by rotating position; it is characterized in that the three-dimensional maze body is provided with at least one continuous maze path relative to the surface of each block unit, and the outer surface of the maze path is further provided with a maze for the user to see Inside the labyrinth window, the labyrinth path is arranged on the surface of each block unit and has different path forms such as T-shape, cross-shape or semi-circular arc. Interconnected labyrinth channels, so that the ball can cross from the labyrinth path of one block unit to the labyrinth path of the other block unit for puzzle rolling, and the labyrinth path is made in different levels by each of the layer-transition units of the three-dimensional maze body The position of rotation is rotated to switch and change the position and path of the bead relative to each of the block units and the path of the labyrinth.
