Abstract
Description
本发明涉及一种连接部件，特别涉及一种长方体的表面具有互锁接口的连接部件。The invention relates to a connecting component, in particular to a connecting component with an interlocking interface on the surface of a cuboid.
现有的拼接组件如积木一般只能上下拼接，这种模式虽然简易，但是具有以下局限性：其一，如果玩家需要往侧面扩张，就需要用上下方搭桥的方式进行。其二，无法直接在侧面拼接需要面向侧面的零件，例如汽车的头灯。其三，长和宽可以互换，但是长和高、宽和高不可以互换。US8567149B2公开的互锁空间组件公开了一种全方位的拼接结构，但是仍然存在不足之处，例如不可以多个姿态拼接，或者拼接后组件接口阵型被打破难以在继续在其上进行拼接。Existing splicing components, such as building blocks, can only be spliced up and down. Although this mode is simple, it has the following limitations: First, if the player needs to expand to the side, he needs to use the upper and lower bridge method. Second, it is impossible to directly splice parts that need to face the side, such as car headlights. Third, the length and width can be interchanged, but the length and height, width and height are not interchangeable. The interlocking space component disclosed in US8567149B2 discloses an all-round splicing structure, but there are still shortcomings, such as it cannot be spliced in multiple postures, or the component interface formation is broken after splicing, making it difficult to continue splicing on it.

现结合附图，对本发明的较佳实施例作详细说明。Now, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
一种连接部件，其形状是长方体，该连接部件每一面可分成一个或一个以上相同尺寸的正方形区域，每个正方形区域设有相同结构尺寸的接口，各接口包括从其所在面向外延伸的凸部和从其所在面向内延伸的凹部，每一接口均能与自身的复制品拼接，各接口的中心均位于其所在的正方形区域的对角线上的相同位置。设定所述连接部件的一条体对角线上的两个顶点为一对聚焦点，又设定连接部件其中三个相交于第一聚焦点的面为阳面，另外三个相交于第二聚焦点的面为阴面，则三个阳面上的接口朝向第一聚焦点，三个阴面上的接口朝向第二聚焦点，或者则三个阳面上的接口方向背向第一聚焦点、三个阴面上的接口方向背向第二聚焦点。在连接部件的面上有一个以上接口时，同一个面所有接口的朝向相同。在拼接状态，一连接部件一面上接口的凸部和凹部正好分别与另一连接部件一面上接口的凹部和凸部相吻合，在连接部件的面上有一个以上接口时，拼接后的组件同一个面接口的朝向相同。A connecting component is in the shape of a cuboid. Each face of the connecting component can be divided into one or more square areas of the same size. Each square area is provided with an interface of the same structural size. Each interface includes a convex portion extending outward from the face where it is located and a concave portion extending inward from the face where it is located. Each interface can be spliced with its own replica, and the center of each interface is located at the same position on the diagonal of the square area where it is located. The two vertices on a body diagonal of the connecting component are set as a pair of focal points, and the three faces of the connecting component intersecting at the first focal point are set as positive faces, and the other three faces intersecting at the second focal point are set as negative faces. Then, the interfaces on the three positive faces face the first focal point, and the interfaces on the three negative faces face the second focal point, or the interfaces on the three positive faces face away from the first focal point, and the interfaces on the three negative faces face away from the second focal point. When there is more than one interface on the face of the connecting component, all interfaces on the same face have the same orientation. In the spliced state, the convex and concave parts of the interface on one side of a connecting component exactly match the concave and convex parts of the interface on one side of another connecting component. When there is more than one interface on the surface of the connecting component, the interfaces on the same surface of the spliced components have the same orientation.
所述接口从其所在面向外延伸的凸部和从其所在面向内延伸的凹部的形状可以完全相同，也可以不完全一致，只要是凸部嵌入凹部以后通过摩擦力能够卡住就可以。比如，可以是凸部的外立面与凹部的内立面完全贴合，也可以是二者立面部分贴合。The shape of the convex part extending outward from the interface and the concave part extending inward from the interface can be completely the same or different, as long as the convex part can be stuck in the concave part by friction after being embedded in the concave part. For example, the outer surface of the convex part can be completely in contact with the inner surface of the concave part, or the two surfaces can be partially in contact.
一些实施例中，连接部件100每个面都是一个正方形区域，如图1所示，即该连接部件是一个立方体单元，其六个面上都设有一个相同结构尺寸的接口110，包括从其所在面向外延伸的凸部111和从其所在面向内延伸的凹部112。本实施例中，该接口的中心设置在其所在面的中心，其它实施例中，接口的中心也可以不设置在其所在面的中心，而是所有接口设在其所在面的对角线上偏离中心的同样距离的位置。 In some embodiments, each face of the connecting component 100 is a square area, as shown in FIG1 , that is, the connecting component is a cubic unit, and each of its six faces is provided with an interface 110 of the same structural size, including a convex portion 111 extending outward from the face where the interface is located and a concave portion 112 extending inward from the face where the interface is located. In this embodiment, the center of the interface is set at the center of the face where the interface is located. In other embodiments, the center of the interface may not be set at the center of the face where the interface is located, but all interfaces are set at the same distance away from the center on the diagonal line of the face where the interface is located.
所述接口110采用雌雄同体设计，如图2所示，能与自身复制品拼接。如图3所示，所述连接部件100有一对聚焦点121、122，该对聚焦点是立方体的一条体对角线上的两个顶点。假设连接部件100其中三个相交于第一聚焦点121的面为阳面130，另外三个相交于第二聚焦点122的面为阴面140，则三个阳面130上接口方向均朝向第一聚焦点121，三个阴面140上接口方向均朝向第二聚焦点122。The interface 110 adopts a hermaphroditic design, as shown in FIG2 , and can be spliced with its own replica. As shown in FIG3 , the connecting component 100 has a pair of focal points 121 and 122, which are two vertices on a body diagonal of a cube. Assuming that three faces of the connecting component 100 intersecting at the first focal point 121 are positive faces 130, and the other three faces intersecting at the second focal point 122 are negative faces 140, then the directions of the interfaces on the three positive faces 130 are all toward the first focal point 121, and the directions of the interfaces on the three negative faces 140 are all toward the second focal point 122.
如图4所示，拼接时，一连接部件100一面上接口的凸部和凹部正好分别与另一连接部件100一面上接口的凹部和凸部相吻合。两个连接部件100依靠摩擦力固定连接。As shown in Fig. 4, when splicing, the convex part and the concave part of the interface on one side of one connecting component 100 just match the concave part and the convex part of the interface on one side of another connecting component 100. The two connecting components 100 are fixedly connected by friction.
另一些实施例中，连接部件的外轮廓相当于由一个以上的所述立方体单元拼接而成的方体。假设立方体单元的长宽高尺寸均为1个单位，则该方体的长宽高尺寸为a×b×c(a、b、c均为正整数，但不同时为1个单位)。每一面可分成一个或一个以上的正方形区域，每个正方形区域设有与上述立方体单元上的接口相同的结构尺寸的接口，各该接口的中心与其所在的正方形区域中心重合，也可以是位于其所在的正方形区域的对角线上偏离中心相同距离的位置。每个面上的接口排列方向一致。所述接口采用雌雄同体设计，具体结构与上述立方体单元中接口的结构尺寸相同。In other embodiments, the outer contour of the connecting component is equivalent to a cube formed by splicing more than one of the cubic units. Assuming that the length, width and height dimensions of the cubic unit are all 1 unit, the length, width and height dimensions of the cube are a×b×c (a, b, c are all positive integers, but not all 1 unit at the same time). Each face can be divided into one or more square areas, and each square area is provided with an interface with the same structural dimensions as the interface on the above-mentioned cubic unit. The center of each interface coincides with the center of the square area where it is located, or it can be located on the diagonal of the square area where it is located, and deviates from the center by the same distance. The interfaces on each face are arranged in the same direction. The interface adopts a hermaphroditic design, and the specific structure has the same structural dimensions as the interface in the above-mentioned cubic unit.
如图5所示的连接部件200的外轮廓，相当于由六个立方体单元拼接而成的长方体。其长宽高尺寸分别为3个单位、2个单位和1个单位。其正面和背面可分为三个正方形区域210，左面和右面可分为两个正方形区域210，顶面和底面则可分为六个正方形区域210，每个正方形区域210均设有一个与上述实施例中接口110相同的形状尺寸的接口220。本实施例中，该接口的中心与其所在的正方形区域中心重合。该连接部件200的聚焦点是长方体的一条体对角线上的两个顶点。假设连接部件200其中三个相交于第一聚焦点231的面为阳面240，另外三个相交于第二聚焦点232的面为阴面250，则三个阳面240上的所有接口220朝向第一聚焦点231，三个阴面250上的所有接口220均朝向第二聚焦点232。The outer contour of the connecting component 200 shown in FIG5 is equivalent to a cuboid formed by splicing six cubic units. Its length, width and height are 3 units, 2 units and 1 unit respectively. Its front and back sides can be divided into three square areas 210, the left and right sides can be divided into two square areas 210, and the top and bottom sides can be divided into six square areas 210, each square area 210 is provided with an interface 220 of the same shape and size as the interface 110 in the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the center of the interface coincides with the center of the square area where it is located. The focal points of the connecting component 200 are two vertices on a body diagonal of the cuboid. Assuming that three of the faces of the connecting component 200 intersecting at the first focal point 231 are the positive faces 240, and the other three faces intersecting at the second focal point 232 are the negative faces 250, then all the interfaces 220 on the three positive faces 240 face the first focal point 231, and all the interfaces 220 on the three negative faces 250 face the second focal point 232.
图6是两个连接部件200相拼接的示意图，其中一连接部件200的一接口的凸部嵌入另一连接部件200的一接口的凹部，同时，一连接部件200的同一接口的凹部用于容纳另一连接部件200的同一接口的凸部。在拼接状态，一连接部件200一面上接口的凸部和凹部分别正好与另一连接部件200一面上接口 的凹部和凸部相吻合，两个连接部件200依靠摩擦力固定连接。拼接以后的组件各个面的接口排列阵型保持一致，可以继续在其上任意拼接连接部件。FIG6 is a schematic diagram of two connecting components 200 being spliced together, wherein the convex portion of an interface of one connecting component 200 is embedded in the concave portion of an interface of the other connecting component 200, and at the same time, the concave portion of the same interface of one connecting component 200 is used to accommodate the convex portion of the same interface of the other connecting component 200. In the spliced state, the convex portion and concave portion of the interface on one side of the connecting component 200 are exactly aligned with the interface on one side of the other connecting component 200. The concave and convex parts of the two connecting parts 200 are matched, and the two connecting parts 200 are fixedly connected by friction. The interface arrangement formation of each surface of the assembly after splicing remains consistent, and connecting parts can be spliced thereon at will.
假定一个最接近聚焦点的正方形区域上的接口朝向一聚焦点的方向为北，则背离该聚焦点的方向为南，垂直于南北方向的轴为东西轴。那么，一些实施例中，接口的凸部和凹部关于接口的东西轴反对称。这里的“关于接口的东西轴反对称”是指接口的凸部绕东西轴旋转180度与接口的凹部重叠。如图7所示，接口下半部为凸部111，上半部为凹部112，既定凸部朝向聚焦点的方向为北，则背离聚焦点的方向为南S，而垂直南北方向的轴则为东西轴，图中接口下半部为凸部111与上半部为凹部112关于东西轴反对称。所述接口的横截面可以是圆形，其凸部和凹部的横截面是半圆形或者扇形等。所述接口的横截面也可以心形、三角形或者其它形状。如图8所示，左边为西W，右边为东E，接口的横截面为圆形，其凸部111和凹部112的横截面是扇形，接口关于东西轴反对称。如图9所示，同样左边为西W，右边为东E，接口的横截面为心形，其凸部111和凹部112关于东西轴反对称。Assuming that the direction of an interface on a square area closest to a focal point toward a focal point is north, the direction away from the focal point is south, and the axis perpendicular to the north-south direction is the east-west axis. Then, in some embodiments, the convex and concave parts of the interface are antisymmetric about the east-west axis of the interface. Here, "antisymmetric about the east-west axis of the interface" means that the convex part of the interface rotates 180 degrees around the east-west axis and overlaps with the concave part of the interface. As shown in Figure 7, the lower half of the interface is the convex part 111, and the upper half is the concave part 112. The direction of the given convex part toward the focal point is north, then the direction away from the focal point is south S, and the axis perpendicular to the north-south direction is the east-west axis. In the figure, the lower half of the interface is the convex part 111 and the upper half is the concave part 112, which are antisymmetric about the east-west axis. The cross-section of the interface can be circular, and the cross-sections of the convex and concave parts are semicircular or fan-shaped, etc. The cross-section of the interface can also be heart-shaped, triangular or other shapes. As shown in Figure 8, the left side is West W and the right side is East E, the cross section of the interface is circular, the cross sections of the convex part 111 and the concave part 112 are fan-shaped, and the interface is anti-symmetric about the east-west axis. As shown in Figure 9, the left side is West W and the right side is East E, the cross section of the interface is heart-shaped, and the convex part 111 and the concave part 112 are anti-symmetric about the east-west axis.
本发明连接部件的拼接方位和姿态灵活，如图10所示，连接部件任一面都可拼接。如图11所示，由于拼接后的组件每一面接口排列阵型一致，还可以无限制地任意继续拼接。否则，如果接口排列阵型不一致，如图12所示，则无法任意拼接。本发明连接部件可以是积木或者需要拼接的功能板块，包括各种长宽高是立方体单元整数倍的方块，如图13所示，各种尺寸不一致的方块之间也可以拼接。The splicing orientation and posture of the connecting parts of the present invention are flexible. As shown in FIG10 , any side of the connecting parts can be spliced. As shown in FIG11 , since the interface arrangement formation of each side of the spliced components is consistent, splicing can be continued without restriction. Otherwise, if the interface arrangement formation is inconsistent, as shown in FIG12 , it cannot be spliced arbitrarily. The connecting parts of the present invention can be building blocks or functional panels that need to be spliced, including various blocks whose length, width and height are integer multiples of the cubic unit. As shown in FIG13 , blocks of various inconsistent sizes can also be spliced.
