Abstract

A magnetic building block cover and a magnetic building block are provided. The magnetic building block includes a magnetic building block cover, a building block body, and magnetic members. The magnetic building block cover includes: a cover body, at least one first enclosure wall, and at least one second enclosure wall. The first enclosure wall and the second enclosure wall form a housing structure. One side of the first enclosure wall is connected to the cover body, and the other side of the first enclosure wall is connected to the second enclosure wall. The housing structure includes at least one first opening, and the first opening is disposed toward a corner of the cover body. The building block body is formed by four sidewalls connected end to end to define two second openings. The magnetic building block cover is configured to cover the second opening.

Claims (28)

1 . A magnetic building block cover, comprising:

at least one first enclosure wall; and

at least one second enclosure wall,

wherein the first enclosure wall and the second enclosure wall form a housing structure, one side of the first enclosure wall is connected to the cover body, and the other side of the first enclosure wall is connected to the second enclosure wall; the housing structure comprises at least one first opening enclosed by a part of the cover body, an outward surface of the first enclosure wall, and the second enclosure wall, and the first opening is oriented toward a corner of the cover body; the second enclosure wall is entirely positioned on the outward surface of the first enclosure wall.

2 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 1 , wherein the cover body further comprises a first recess, and the first recess is disposed opposite to the second enclosure wall.

3 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 2 , wherein a thickness of a sidewall at the first recess is less than a thickness of the cover body.

4 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first enclosure wall comprises at least one right angle.

5 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 1 , wherein the housing structure is provided in a quantity of four.

6 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 1 , wherein the cover body further comprises at least one first positioning post: the first positioning post comprises a first cylinder and a second cylinder, with one end of the first cylinder connected to the cover body and the other end connected to the second cylinder.

7 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 6 , wherein a diameter of the first cylinder is greater than a diameter of the second cylinder.

8 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 6 , wherein the first positioning post is provided in a quantity of four.

9 . A magnetic building block comprising:

two magnetic building block covers according to claim 1 ,

magnetic members;

wherein the building block body is formed by four sidewalls connected end-to-end to define two second openings, each magnetic building block cover is configured to cover one of the second openings, the magnetic members are rotatably disposed in the housing structure, and the housing structure cooperates with two of the sidewalls to retain the magnetic members within the housing structure.

10 . The magnetic building block according to claim 9 , wherein the building block body comprises a second recess formed on an inner wall of at least one corner thereof, the second recess being positioned in correspondence with the housing structure.

11 . The magnetic building block according to claim 10 , wherein a thickness of a sidewall at the second recess is less than a thickness of the sidewall.

12 . The magnetic building block according to claim 10 , wherein the second recess is provided in a quantity of four.

13 . The magnetic building block according to claim 9 , wherein the sidewalls comprise a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall, a first corner is formed between the fourth sidewall and the first sidewall, a second corner is formed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, a third corner is formed between the second sidewall and the third sidewall, and a fourth corner is formed between the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall.

14 . The magnetic building block according to claim 13 , wherein the housing structure comprises a first housing structure, a second housing structure, a third housing structure, and a fourth housing structure, the first housing structure is disposed at the first corner, the second housing structure is disposed at the second corner, the third housing structure is disposed at the third corner, and the fourth housing structure is disposed at the fourth corner.

15 . The magnetic building block according to claim 9 , wherein the building block body further comprises at least one second positioning post; the second positioning post comprises a positioning hole, and the second cylinder is configured to be inserted into the positioning hole.

16 . The magnetic building block according to claim 15 , wherein the second positioning post is provided in a quantity of four.

17 . The magnetic building block according to claim 15 , wherein the second positioning post is connected to the sidewall.

18 . The magnetic building block according to claim 9 , wherein the building block body further comprises a support member connecting the four sidewalls.

19 . The magnetic building block according to claim 9 , wherein the magnetic members are eight.

20 . The magnetic building block cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening opens outwards between the cover body and the second enclosure wall and along two directions which are perpendicular to each other.
