Connecting structures in a modular construction kit
A modular construction kit includes modular construction blocks, each includes at least one interface face. The interface face includes a recess, a plurality of connection apertures disposed proximate to the edge of the recess, and a circular interface receptacle disposed in the center of the recess. The kit also includes modular construction connectors, each includes two opposite sides, wherein each side including a body, a plurality of connection studs extending outwardly from the body, and a protrusion extending outwardly from the body. Some modular construction blocks include predetermined functions. A modular system block includes at least a processor, storage, and wireless communication.
1. A modular construction kit comprising:
at least one modular construction block, the modular construction block comprising at least one outwardly facing interface face, wherein the interface face includes a recess, a plurality of connection apertures disposed proximate to each edge of the recess, and a circular electrical interface receptacle disposed in a center of the recess;
at least one removeable flat thin planar modular construction connector, the removeable modular construction connector including:
two opposite sides, each side comprising a flat body, a plurality of flexible connection studs positioned proximate to at least two opposite edges of the removeable modular construction connector and extending outwardly from each side of the flat body and sized to fit into the connection apertures, and
a circular protrusion positioned in a center of each side of the flat body and extending outwardly from the flat body with one or more spring-loaded electrical interface pins disposed on the circular protrusion, wherein the circular protrusion is sized to fit into the circular electrical interface receptacle and wherein the one or more spring-loaded electrical interface pins enable an electrical connection between two modular construction blocks connected to the removeable modular construction connector on each of the two opposite sides;
at least one modular construction block having a predetermined function; and
a modular system block comprising at least a processor, storage, and wireless communication.
2. The modular construction kit of claim 1 further comprises a programming user interface.
3. The modular construction kit of claim 1 further comprises a control user interface.
4. The modular construction kit of claim 1 further comprises at least one removeable modular construction wired connector that includes two opposite end connectors inwardly coupled together by a connection wire, wherein each end connector includes an outward facing side one or more connection studs and a circular protrusion extending outwardly, the circular protrusion includes one or more spring-loaded electrical interface pins disposed on the circular protrusion, wherein the circular protrusion is sized to fit into the circular electrical interface receptacle and wherein the one or more spring-loaded electrical interface pins enable an electrical connection between two modular construction blocks connected to the removeable modular construction wired connector on each of the two opposite ends of the removeable modular construction wired connector.
