Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic block with magnetic connection, wherein end portions of the block are provided with cavities, the cavities are embedded with radially magnetized conductive circular magnets, and the circular magnets can freely rotate about their own axes within the cavities to adjust magnetic poles; the surfaces via which each end portion is attached to other end portions are cut with notches, and the circular magnets partially protrude from the notches; the end portion of one block can be attached to and electrically connected with the end portion of any other block via the circular magnets. By adopting radially magnetized and self-rotating magnets, the present invention can realize attachment and electrical connection of any multiple surfaces and multiple angles, not only ensuring close connection between blocks, but also realizing electrical connection of components in the blocks.

Claims
