(14) Given the technical problems discussed in the background, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a novel puzzle board is provided, including a top board 1, a frame 5, a bottom board 11, and a base 12. Herein the top board 1 includes an upper board 2, a first bounding box 3 set on one side of the upper board 2, and one or more limit blocks 4 set on a bottom of the upper board 2. The frame 5 includes a border formed by splicing second bounding boxes 6 set on four sides, and the border includes storage spaces 9 for store items, where the second bounding boxes 6 set on an upper side and a lower side each is provided with a fluted slide 10 assembled with the upper board 2, and the limit blocks 4 are placed between the storage spaces 9 and the second bounding boxes 6 to restrict the upper board 2 from slidable opening or closing the storage spaces 9 through an external force. The bottom board 11 is fixedly connected to a bottom surface of the frame 5. The base 12 includes a base board 13 and a rotating component 14 set on the base board 13, where the base board 13 is connected to the bottom board 11 through a connecting piece, and the rotating component 14 is abutted with the bottom board 11 to allow the bottom board 11 rotates relative to the base 12 drove by the external force.

(15) Referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 11, the rotating component 14 includes a ball retainer 15, a ball slot 16 set protruding from the ball retainer 15, and balls 17 embedded in the ball slot 16. The ball slot 16 is uniformly distributed along the ball retainer 15, and the balls 17 protrude from the ball slot 16 and abut with the bottom board 11. When the frame 5 rotates relative to the base 12, a bottom surface of the bottom board 11 comes into rolling contact with the balls 17.

(16) Herein two thirds of surfaces of the balls 17 are wrapped by the ball slot 16, and the balls 17 roll relative to the ball slot 16.

(17) Herein the ball retainer 15 has a circular ring shape, the ball slot 16 is provided with at least two or more, and the ball slot 16 is distributed in an array along a circumference of the ball retainer 15.

(18) Herein the base board 13 is concavely provided with an annular groove 18, and at least a part of the ball retainer 15 is embedded in the annular groove 18.

(19) Herein a thickness between the upper and lower sides of the upper board 2 is adapted to a groove width of the fluted slide 10 to allow the upper board 2 being embedded in the fluted slide 10. The slot width of the fluted slide 10 is adapted to the thickness of the upper board 2 to ensure that the upper board 2 can be firmly embedded in the fluted slide 10 and slide smoothly.

(20) Referring to FIG. 6, the boarder includes a long partition wall 7 arranged inside the border and a short partition wall 8 arranged inside the border. The long partition wall 7 and the short partition wall 8 are arranged alternately and form the storage spaces 9 with the second bounding boxes 6. The long partition wall 7 is provided with one, and the long partition wall 7 is provided in a middle of the border and parallel to the second bounding boxes 6 set on a long side. The short partition wall 8 is provided with one or more, and the short partition wall 8 is parallel to the second bounding boxes 6 set on a short side.

(21) Herein a vertical height of the long partition wall 7 relative to a surface of the bottom board 11 is the same as a vertical height of the short partition wall 8 relative to the surface of the bottom board 11, and the vertical height is close to a position of a lower edge of the fluted slide 10.

(22) Referring to FIG. 10, a bottom surface of the base board 13 is provided with one or more non-slip mats 19.

(23) Herein a hole 20 is provided in a center position of the base board 13, and the connecting piece passes through the hole 20 to connect with the bottom board 11.

(24) In the above technical solutions, a novel puzzle board is provided, which mainly consists of the top board 1, the frame 5, the bottom board 11, and the base board 13.

(25) The top board 1 includes the upper board 2, the first bounding box 3 and the limit blocks 4. The top board 1 is made of sturdy and smooth materials, such as high-density fiberboard or acrylic board, for use as a control console of puzzle game. The first bounding box 3 is fixed on the longer side of the top board 1, when the top board 1 closes the storage spaces 9, the first bounding box 3 contacts the second bounding box 6, and the upper and lower sides of the upper board 2 are placed on the fluted slide 10. Referring to FIG. 7, at the same time, the limit blocks 4 may be set in the form of one or more blocks. The limit blocks 4 are contacted with the upper board 2, and the limit blocks 4 are placed between the long partition wall 7 and the second bounding boxes 6. Therefore, when the upper board 2 is opened by external force, it cannot be completely pulled out, avoiding the upper board 2 from being pulled out and causing it to fall. And meanwhile, it can open all storage spaces 9, making it easier for users to find and place, and more convenient.

(26) Referring to FIG. 6, the frame 5 is made of sturdy and durable materials, such as wood or plastic, to ensure overall stability and durability. The frame 5 includes the second bounding boxes 6, the long partition walls 7 and the short partition walls 8. The second bounding boxes 6 on the four sides are enclosed to form the border. The appropriate number of the long partition walls 7 and the short partition walls 8 can be selected according to the actual situation, and there is not restriction on this. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, it is preferred to use one long partition wall 7 and three short partition walls 8, and the border has a rectangular structure. The long partition wall 7 is provided in the middle of the border and parallel to the second bounding boxes 6 set on a long side of the border, the three short partition walls 8 are parallel to the second bounding boxes 6 set on a short side of the border. Furthermore, the long partition wall 7, the short partition walls 8, the second bounding boxes 6, and the bottom board 11 together form the storage spaces 9. The vertical height of long partition wall 7 and the short partition walls 8 relative to the surface of the bottom board is the same, and the vertical height is close to the position of the lower edge of the fluted slide 10, which does not obstruct the closure of the upper board 2.

(27) Referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 11, the base 12 consists of the base board 13, the rotating component 14, and the non-slip mats 19. The center position of the base board 13 is fixed to the bottom board with screws or iron nails. There are one or more nail holes on the center surface of the base board 13, which are used for the screws or iron nails to be fixed to the bottom board. The base board 13 has a stable support structure to ensure that it can be stably placed on the ground.

(28) The ball retainer 15 has a circular ring shape and is embedded in the concave annular groove 18 on the base board 13. The ball slots 16 are set protruding from the ball retainer 15, and the ball slots 16 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ball retainer 15, with each ball slot 16 is mobile embedded with the balls 17. The balls 17 are in contact with the bottom surface of the upper board 2, when the frame 5 rotates relative to the base 12, the bottom surface of the upper board 2 rolls in contact with the balls 17, achieving a smooth rotation effect.

(29) Through the description of the specific implementations above, it can be seen that the novel puzzle board of the present disclosure has the advantages of compact structure, diverse functions, and convenient operation, which can meet the comprehensive needs of players for storage, convenient use, and game fun.

(30) The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention in any way. Any amendments, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present disclosure shall fall within the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
