I don't think it has a name, rather it's a series of tactics called forks and pins.
What are the name and circumstances of this puzzle pattern?

What quite often comes up in chess.com puzzles is a pattern like this:
-You check the uncalled king diagonally using your queen.
-They block with a pawn
-You take the pawn with your knight
-The opponent takes the Knight with another pawn
-This reveals an attack of the queen on the rook, which you take (often with check).
chess.com puzzles are based on real games, and this comes up in puzzles about as often as some named checkmates.
So I feel like it the pattern must have some kind of name. What is that name, and what kind of real games does that pattern typically come up in?
