Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure pertains to the technical field of building block toys, and specifically pertains to a magnetic building block.

BACKGROUND

Building block toys, as a type of toy with strong playability and expandability, are popular with children. Current building block toys are made of wood materials and plastic materials, surfaces of the building block toys made of the plastic materials are relatively smooth and cannot be stacked well. For the building block toys made of the plastic materials in the prior art, magnets are provided in building blocks to connect them so as to facilitate stacking. A building block toy made of a plastic material comprises a main housing and two cover bodies. The two cover bodies are respectively arranged on an upper end and a lower end of the main housing to form a cylindrical magnetic building block. At least two magnet grooves are provided on both the upper end and the lower end of the main housing, and the magnet grooves are arranged at intervals. The two cover bodies respectively cover the magnet grooves arranged on the upper and lower ends of the main housing and are hermetically connected with the main housing. A magnet is accommodated in the magnet groove, and each of the magnet grooves is arranged closely adjacent to an inner wall of the main housing and is not connected to each other. However, the main housing of the building block made of plastic material has a thin thickness and weak structural strength, and is prone to deformation when subjected to an external force, so that the cover is easily detached, and even sometimes the building block is damaged, so that the durability of the building block is poor and the service life thereof is short.
