Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a toy bumper car, including a toy car and a projectile 1. The toy car includes a body, a collision and projectile mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The body includes an upper shell 2, a middle shell 3, and a lower shell 4. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 51, a drive power supply 52, and drive wheels 53, and is located inside the lower shell 4. The collision and projectile mechanism is located inside the middle shell 3, and a collision switch 61 is mounted on the middle shell 3. The upper shell 2 has a projectile slot 21 for accommodating the projectile 1. The lower shell 4 has multiple support protrusions for placing parts. The middle shell 3 is a hollow annular frame used to connect the upper and lower shells and provide fixed support. The upper shell 2 is the outer frame of the toy bumper car, used to support the projectile 1, and the upper shell 2 can be designed with different shapes to increase the variety of appearances of the toy bumper car.

[0028] Further integration Figure 2The ejection unit includes a laterally sliding slider 62, which abuts against a lateral spring 63. The slider 62 has a sliding groove 621, within which an ejection post 65 is installed. A collision switch 61 abuts against the slider 62 and is used to push the slider 62 to slide and unlock the ejection post 65 when the collision switch 61 is triggered. The lateral spring 62 locks the slider 62 in a fixed position, allowing the ejection post 65 to remain locked in a permanent state. When the collision switch 61 is impacted, pushing the slider 62 to move laterally, the ejection post 65 is unlocked, causing it to spring up under the action of the launch spring 64, thus ejecting the projectile 1.

[0029] See further Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ejector post 65 has a cylindrical upper part 651 and a frustum 652 in the middle. An ejector latch 653 is machined at the bottom of the ejector post 65. The ejector latch 653 is an inverted frustum structure, and the sliding groove 621 is a concave arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the ejector latch 653. When the ejector post 65 is pressed down, the ejector latch 653 presses against the sliding groove 621, causing the slider 62 to slide. This allows the ejector latch 653 to pass through the sliding groove 621, and the upper surface of the ejector latch 653 abuts against the lower surface of the slider 62, achieving locking.

[0030] The ejector groove 21 is machined with an ejector post guide sleeve 22, which matches the shape of the frustum 652. The cylinder 651 of the ejector post 65 passes through the ejector post guide sleeve 22. The upper part of the ejector post guide sleeve 22 is a cylindrical groove to ensure that the ejector post does not deviate when it is launched. The ejector post guide sleeve 22 also limits the frustum 652 to ensure the ejection stroke of the ejector post 65.

[0031] A launching spring 64 is installed at the bottom of the ejection column 65. The other end of the launching spring 64 abuts against the lower housing 4. Specifically, a gear box 51 is installed inside the lower housing 4. A column for fixing and abutting the launching spring 64 is provided on the gear box 51. When the ejection column 65 is pressed down, the launching spring 64 is in a compressed state. When the ejection column 65 is unlocked, the launching spring 64 springs up, causing the ejection column 65 to rise.

[0032] See further Figure 3 and Figure 5 The bottom of the projectile 1 has a nesting groove 11 that matches the projectile post 65 and the projectile post guide sleeve 22. The projectile post 65 passes through the guide sleeve 22 and is inserted into the nesting groove 11 to support the projectile 1. When the projectile 1 is placed into the projectile groove 21, the projectile 1 is pressed down, and the upper end face of the nesting groove 11 presses against the projectile post 65, causing the projectile post 65 to move vertically downward. The end of its stroke is when the inner end face of the nesting groove 11 contacts the upper end face of the projectile post guide sleeve 22.

[0033] See also Figure 1The drive motor is placed inside the gearbox 51, and the drive shaft of the drive motor is geared to the drive wheel 53. The drive motor is electrically connected to the drive power supply 52.

[0034] See further Figure 6 In another embodiment of this utility model, the ejection unit includes a slider 62, which includes a first stop 622 and a second stop 623. The first stop 622 and the second stop 623 are arranged one after the other. The first stop 622 is machined with a first stop blocking part 6221, and the second stop 623 is machined with a second stop triggering part 6231. The first stop blocking part 6221 and the second stop triggering part 6231 are spatially parallel and coincident. When the collision switch 61 receives an impact, it triggers the second stop 623 of the slider to move inward, unlocking the ejection post 65 on the second stop 623 and causing it to bounce. If the impact force is sufficient, the second stop triggering part 6231 on the second stop 623 abuts against the first stop blocking part 6221 and pushes the first stop 622 to move laterally, unlocking the ejection post 65 on the first stop 622 and causing it to bounce. The unlocking of the first stop 622 and the second stop 623 can be categorized as follows: 1) With extremely high impact force, the second stop 623 and the first stop 622 unlock in a very short time, ejecting two projectiles. 2) With relatively low impact force, only the second stop 623 unlocks, and only one projectile ejects. Further impact on the collision switch 61 is required to unlock the ejection post on the first stop 622, causing the projectile to eject. The sequential unlocking of the second stop 623 and the first stop 622 increases the playability of the bumper car.

[0035] In this embodiment, the collision switches 61 are located on both sides of the toy bumper car, each controlling the release of two launchers. The collision switches 61 do not have any interconnection, so a large impact force is required to strike the left and right collision switches respectively to make the four launchers pop out, which further optimizes the fun of the toy bumper car.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 624 is also machined on the first stop 622 and the second stop 623. The limiting groove 624 is elliptical. The mounting screw slides the first stop 622 / second stop 623 onto the lower housing 4 through the limiting groove 624. At the same time, the movement stroke of the first stop 622 and the second stop 623 is limited by the limiting groove 624.

[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, the ejection unit further includes a pushing part 625. One side of the pushing part 625 abuts against the collision switch 61, and the other side of the pushing part 625 is machined with a first pushing block 6251 and a second pushing block 6252. The second pushing block 6252 abuts against the second stop block 623, and the first pushing block 6251 spatially abuts against the first stop block 622 with a certain gap. Because there is a gap between the first pushing block 6251 and the first stop block 622, when the collision switch 61 pushes the pushing part 625, the second pushing block 6252 and the first pushing block 6251 push the second stop block 623 and the first stop block 622 in sequence, which can also achieve the function of unlocking the two ejected objects in sequence.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, the drive motor and the drive power supply 52 are also electrically connected to the control board 55, and the toy bumper car can be controlled by communicating with the control board 55 via a remote control.

[0039] In another embodiment of this utility model, the drive shaft of the drive motor includes a left drive shaft and a right drive shaft. The drive motor can control the power output of the left drive shaft and the right drive shaft respectively. When there is a speed difference between the left drive wheel and the right drive wheel, the toy bumper car can turn.

[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, there are two drive motors, which control the left drive wheel and the right drive wheel respectively, so as to realize the steering function of the toy bumper car.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present invention, the toy bumper car also includes an auxiliary driven wheel 54, which is mounted on the lower housing 4 to assist the toy bumper car in balancing.

[0042] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
