The engineering team replaced the original heavy bolts with a spring-loaded design for safer operation and a smoother feel. During assembly, children can understand "how locks work" and "how ancient people solved problems," fostering logical reasoning and curiosity. 🔒 Upon opening the wooden lock, you'll discover the "coin sorting mechanism" inside: coins automatically fall into their corresponding slots due to differing incline angles and falling speeds, allowing children to intuitively grasp acceleration and physics concepts. 💡 A Little Knowledge About Yangshao Culture💡 Wooden locks were the earliest type of locks in ancient China. Many modern locks have evolved from these ancient wooden ones. Their basic structure was simple: a hole in the door allowed tools like bamboo or wood to be inserted from the outside to engage a wooden bolt and secure the door from the inside. Legend has it that during the Yangshao Culture (5000 BC to 3000 BC), people already used wood to create ancient locks, though no authentic artifacts remain today. ⚙️ Product Specifications⚙️ Product Name/Model: Wooden House Coin Sorter / 9AH04201 Finished Product Size: 17cm x 11cm x 24cm Package Size: 31.5cm x 21cm x 4.2cm Recommended Age: 14+ years Challenge Level: ★★★☆☆ Assembly Time: Approx. 2-2.5 hours Material: Eco-friendly non-toxic wood, springs Origin: Taiwan **[Luban Lock]** The Luban Lock is a STEAM educational puzzle for unlocking, combining mortise and tenon joints, spatial geometry, and logical reasoning. It's a hands-on tool for developing structural thinking. Suitable for extending elementary and middle school curricula, after-school learning, parent-child activities, and training in logic and spatial abilities. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51553555095_f833c71203_k.jpg ⭐️ Globally unique set of 21 interlocking pieces with multi-country patents ⭐️ Faithfully reproduces the classic "Six Brothers and Sisters" mortise and tenon structure of the Luban Lock 🧠 A STEAM educational tool that integrates spatial logic × structural understanding × focus × creativity This product is designed with high-precision manufacturing, with each piece controlled to within 0.01 cm to ensure structural fit and stability during repeated disassembly. The interlocking pieces fit tightly without loosening, making them suitable for extended manipulation and repeated challenges. Compared to traditional wooden Luban locks, the plastic material is more wear-resistant and durable, maintaining structural stability and a good feel. It's less prone to deformation or loosening with long-term use. Made from non-toxic plastic, it's safe and ideal for learning, with multiple color options available. Through the process of disassembling and reassembling the Luban Lock, learners can practically understand the interbalancing and supporting relationships between mortise and tenon joints, further developing spatial imagination, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. This Luban Lock offers over 50 combination methods, with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to advanced. It can be approached progressively according to learning level, or creatively reconfigured, serving as a practical teaching material in STEAM education for training structural thinking and 3D construction skills. 💡 A Little Knowledge About the Luban Lock💡 In ancient architecture, mortise and tenon joints were utilized extensively in wooden furniture and structures. This technique allowed for stable construction and load-bearing without nails. Such ingenuity has been incorporated into the playable Luban Lock. Legend attributes its design to the master craftsman Luban, while another theory suggests Zhuge Liang invented it based on Bagua metaphysics, hence its alternative name, Kongming Lock. Luban Locks come in various forms, with the classic "Six Brothers and Sisters" set consisting of six long pieces. These pieces interlock via grooves and protrusions to form a 3D cross shape. ⚙️ Product Specifications⚙️ Product Name/Model: Luban Lock / 9AB02201 Package Size: 30.5cm x 13.5cm x 2cm Recommended Age: Unlimited Challenge Level: ★★★☆☆ Material: Safe non-toxic plastic Origin: Taiwan **[Oscillating Mechanical Clock]** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51552639826_e38e96758a_h.jpg ⭐️Developed with guidance from Professor Huang Chin-Fei's Brain-STEAM Brainwave Research at National Kaohsiung Normal University⭐️ ⭐️Endorsed by over a hundred elementary and middle school teachers⭐️ Developed under the guidance of Professor Huang Chin-Fei's Brain-STEAM Brainwave Research team at National Kaohsiung Normal University, this recreates the classic technique of Matteo Ricci bringing Western mechanical clocks to the East. The entire set is self-powered, requiring no electricity or winding. It operates using gears, weights, and an adjustable pendulum. By adjusting the pendulum length and weight, children can observe changes in the speed of the hands, naturally understanding the core scientific principles of oscillation, gears, and time through operation. It's a high-quality STEAM educational tool that combines physics and mechanical engineering. The "Oscillating Mechanical Clock" is highly recommended by over a hundred elementary and middle school teachers, intuitively presenting the technology and aesthetics of ancient mechanical clocks. It guides children through the evolution of timekeeping technology—from ancient water clocks and clepsydras to Ming Dynasty mechanical clocks—providing a comprehensive understanding from history to science. Whether at home or in the classroom, it serves as an excellent introductory science tool to spark curiosity and cultivate logical thinking, empowering children to truly play and learn science and creativity. 💡 A Little Knowledge About the Escapement System💡 In the world of timekeeping, you often hear about the "escapement system." What exactly is it? The escapement mechanism was first invented by Philo of Byzantium in ancient Greece. However, the escapement mechanism used in clocks was developed by Master Monk Yixing during the Tang Dynasty, who was also an astronomer, mathematician, and engineer. Literally interpreted, "escapement" means "to catch and release." Through this mechanism of releasing and catching, power can be stored and then regulated by other parts, allowing the movement to maintain stable and accurate operation. The second hand moves in an orderly fashion, and the quality of the escapement mechanism affects the precision of a mechanical watch. ⚙️ Product Specifications⚙️ Product Name/Model: Oscillating Mechanical Clock / 9AL01201 Finished Product Size: 22cm x 9.5cm x 28cm (excluding pendulum rod) Recommended Age: 14+ years Challenge Level: ★★★★☆ Assembly Time: Approx. 2-2.5 hours Material: Eco-friendly non-toxic wood, acrylic Origin: Taiwan https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51376178085_f04ecc5997_h.jpg ⚠️ Important Notes - Please use the included sandpaper to smooth wooden parts before assembly.
