[0041] Specifically, the present invention proposes a train model dynamic display collection box. When the user is not performing a dynamic running train model display, the user can directly use the train model dynamic display collection box for the traditional static display collection of train models, thereby achieving seamless switching between dynamic display and static collection, simplifying daily management, and solving the problem of space limitation, which is suitable for use in personal homes and small display spaces.

[0055] In this embodiment, one end of the PCB board 3 is provided with a left signal light inward socket 31, a left signal light outward socket 32, a Type-C power left interface 33, and a micro display left socket 34, and the other end is provided with a right signal light outward socket 35, a right signal light inward socket 36, a Type-C power right interface 37, and a micro display right socket 38.

[0056] In this embodiment, the left micro-display socket 34 and the right micro-display socket 38 are used to plug in a micro-display, which can be used to display train model parameters, such as speed, direction, etc.

[0057] The structure and working principle of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention are further described below.

[0058] The bottom of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention is a whole PCB board 3. The PCB board 3 is integrated with a mobile phone TYPE-C fast charging decoy power module, an MCU (microcontroller unit) and a power carrier modulation circuit (train model drive module) and interfaces such as peripheral street lights, signal lights, atmosphere lights, switches, and left and right cascades of the box. As the core controller, the MCU is responsible for detecting and responding to the status set by the user through external knobs and switches to change the corresponding modules (such as the on and off of street lights, the on and off of atmosphere lights, the speed and default direction of the train model, and making the train emit corresponding sound effects and jet effects, etc.), monitoring the status of the sensor module, and controlling the color of the traffic LED indicator to indicate the direction of travel of the train model and adjust the travel status of the train model. The power carrier modulation circuit is used to combine the power supply and control signals together and transmit them to the train model through two tracks to achieve wireless power supply and command transmission. The MCU sends the power and signal to the two tracks together through the power carrier modulation technology, and the train model receives the power and command information to perform corresponding actions. Users can input commands to the MCU via DIP switches, such as starting / stopping the train, adjusting the speed, and activating / deactivating lighting and various sound effects. Sensors are installed at both ends of the track. The sensor module detects the position of the train model. When it detects that the train model is approaching the end of the track, it automatically triggers a reversal mechanism, causing the train model to automatically change direction.

[0059] When the model approaches the end of the track, the MCU triggers a reversal mechanism. This invention employs traffic LEDs on both sides of the track, displaying red (forbidden direction) and green (allowed direction), respectively, to indicate the current travelable direction of the train model. The LED indicator module dynamically adjusts the red and green light status based on the train model's travel direction.

[0060] The present invention can also realize the physical cascade of multiple train model dynamic display collection boxes through the track insulation connecting piece. Each train model dynamic display collection box can be equipped with an independent control box or be uniformly controlled by the first display box through switch switching.

[0061] The box body 1 can be freely cascaded to achieve length splicing and can be flexibly adjusted according to the length and quantity of the train model.

[0062] The control mechanism of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention is as follows: by setting the dial switch of the dynamic display collection box, the train model on the track can be controlled to accelerate, decelerate, travel at a constant speed, and the sound effects and lighting states can be controlled, thereby improving the realism and fun of the dynamic display.

[0063] The cascading and control scheme of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention is as follows: track insulation connecting pieces can be used to achieve physical cascading of multiple train model dynamic display collection boxes of the present invention; independent control boxes can be equipped, and each control box can control one or more cascaded display boxes.

[0064] The dynamic train model display and collection box of the present invention features a switchable on / off function, allowing users to choose whether to independently control a single control box or to centrally control all cascaded display boxes from the first control box. Alternatively, the left control box can take over control of any of the right control boxes, ensuring maximum storage space utilization. It also accommodates train models of varying lengths and display needs, such as dynamic sports cars.

[0065] The train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention is provided with LED lights on both sides of the end of the track. The red light indicates a prohibited direction of passage, and the green light indicates a permitted direction of passage, thereby enhancing the visual indication effect.

[0066] The monitoring sensor module of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention features sensors installed on both sides of the track end to detect the position of the train model. When the sensors detect that the train model is approaching the track end, a reversing mechanism is automatically triggered, causing the train model to change direction. The color of the traffic LED indicator lights also indicates the train model's direction of travel.

[0067] The train model dynamic display collection box allows for convenient storage and display conversion: through the innovative design of the box body 1 structure that is easy to open and close, the user can directly return the train model to the dynamic display collection box when not on dynamic display, replacing the traditional train model static display collection box.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that the train model involved in the present invention receives and executes corresponding instructions, such as speed, direction, sound effects, and lighting effects, etc., through the power carrier on the track.

[0069] Power carrier refers to Digital Command Control, or DCC for short. DCC is a standard for digitally controlling model train systems. When a model train is equipped with DCC, multiple model trains can be independently controlled on the same section or set of tracks.

[0070] The train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention supports both analog train models and digital train models. The principle of analog train models is to adjust the direction and speed of the analog train model on the track by adjusting the voltage value and polarity on the track. The digital train model refers to a train model with corresponding decoding circuit inside.

[0071] The principle of analog control (DC: Direct Current) is to adjust the output voltage and transmit it to the motor in the train model through two tracks. The received voltage will change with different speeds.

[0072] The principle of digital control is that a controller issues a command signal, which is then translated into an electrical signal by a digital encoder and loaded onto the track. A pre-installed chip in the locomotive receives the electrical signal and translates it into the command signal, initiating an action. The locomotive's digital functions are determined by the locomotive's onboard digital (sound effect) chip. Digital chips are generally classified into two categories: standard digital chips and digital sound effect chips. Standard digital chips offer limited functionality, with the most common being lighting control (which allows turning a specific set of lights on or off at will) and locomotive control (each locomotive chip can have a unique control address. For example, if control address is 3, only when the controller operates the locomotive chip at address 3 will the corresponding locomotive execute the command). Even more advanced chips are digital sound effect chips, which not only perform all the functions of standard digital chips but also simulate the sounds of a real locomotive, such as a whistle and the roar of a diesel engine.

[0073] The fundamental difference between analog and digital control is that with digital control, the train models have specific addresses. The controller tells the train model to move, and only that train model moves accordingly. Other train models ignore the controller. Analog control, on the other hand, relies solely on the voltage and current flow on the track. All train models respond simultaneously.

[0074] The digital control principle uses a pair of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) waves with adjustable pulse widths as differential signals at both ends of the track. These signals are then used to control and power the train model. Specifically, when one PWM wave is high, the other is low. A rectifier bridge generates a DC voltage for power supply, which is then detected by a detector circuit to generate a pulse signal that can be collected by an MCU (microcontroller), enabling data decoding and control.

[0075] In summary, the technical effects of the train model dynamic display collection box of the present invention are:

[0076] 1. Improved display effect: The present invention can dynamically display train models, enhancing viewing and interactivity.

[0077] 2. Flexible scalability: The present invention can adapt to train models of different lengths and display requirements through cascade design.

[0078] 3. Intelligent control: The present invention can automatically adjust the driving direction, reduce user operations and improve the experience.

[0079] 4. Space optimization: This invention can effectively solve the problem of space limitation and is suitable for use in homes and small display spaces.

[0080] 5. Convenient storage: The present invention can achieve seamless switching between dynamic display and static collection, simplifying daily management.
