The base 70 has a storage tank 72 for holding the building block group 60. The top cover 80 can cover the base 70 to conceal the building block group 60. The bottom of the storage tank 72 is provided with 35 locating grids 71 for the building block group 60 to form a single-layer planar pattern. The surface of the top cover 80 is provided with 15 locating slots 81 for the building block group 60 to stack a five-layer trilateral cone shape. Each building block of the building block group 60 comprises one to five units, the units are connected at two-dimensional angles of horizontal X or vertical Y, the building block group 60 has 35 units.

(14) When the building block unit of building block group 60 is a cube, the locating grid 71 is square, it has a quadrate bottom. The locating slot 81 is hexagonal, it comprises a triangular bottom 811 and three bevel faces 812 surrounding the bottom 811. If the building block unit of building block group 60 is spherical, the locating grid 71 must be a semicircular pit, and the locating slot 81 is a semicircular pit. The quadrate shape has better esthetics, smoothness and regularity than spherical shape.

(15) As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the base 70 is trilateral, there are ten rows of the locating grid 71 from top to bottom, including one grid in the first row, two grids in the second row, three grids in the third row, two grids in the fourth row, three grids in the fifth row, four grids in the sixth row, five grids in the seventh row, four grids in the eighth row, five grids in the ninth row, six grids in the tenth row, the grid edges of upper and lower locating grids 71 abut on each other at 45°, the grid corners of left and right locating grids 71 abut on each other at a horizontal angle. The building blocks of the building block group 60 are inserted respectively according to the positions of locating grids 71, the single-layer planar pattern is assembled at last.

(16) As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the top cover 80 is trilateral, each side is provided with five locating slots 81, and there are five rows of the locating slot 81 from top to bottom, including one slot in the first row, two slots in the second row, three slots in the third row, four slots in the fourth row and five slots in the fifth row. The slot edges of the upper and lower locating slots 81 abut on each other at 60°, the slot edges of left and right locating slots 81 abut on each other at a horizontal angle. The building blocks of the building block group 60 are inserted respectively according to the positions of locating slots 81, a pyramid-like five-layer trilateral cone shape can be stacked up at last.

(17) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the base 70 is trilateral, including an upper layer 73 and a lower layer 74, the lower layer 74 has larger outside diameter than the upper layer 73, presenting a steplike periphery, the lower layers 74 of the first and second sides are connected to long convex edges 75, the lower layer 74 of the third side forms a short notch 76, the two long convex edges 75 are longer than the short notch 76. In addition, the shape of the top cover 80 is identical with the base 70, two side edges are provided with long notches 82, the other side edge is provided with a short notch 83, the two long notches 82 are longer than the short notch 83. The bottom surface of the top cover 80 coves to wrap the upper layer 73 of base 70, and the bottom edge can be put on the top edge of lower layer 74 of base 70. The two long notches 82 of top cover 80 can match the two long convex edges 75 of base 70 without gaps. The short notch 83 and the short notch 76 of the base 70 are vertically symmetrical to form an open gap. This design is like a foolproof structure, allowing the user to complete operation accurately according to intuition, avoiding misplacing the top cover 80 on the base 70.

(18) In order to reduce the overall weight, the base 70 and top cover 80 are changed to hollow plastic shells instead of solid plates, especially the top cover 80, its bottom surface is inwardly dished, when the top cover 80 covers the base 70, it wraps the upper layer 73 of base 70, and the peripheral bottom edge is closed with the top edge of lower layer 74 of base 70, so as to stabilize the covering. In addition, each unit of the building blocks of the building block group 60 is hollow, the units communicate with each other, so the weight is reduced a lot compared with the old type of building blocks, the consumption of plastics is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
