Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of educational toys, in particular to a track ball toy. Background Art

[0002] Existing track ball toys, such as CN219517766U, a plug-in track ball toy, includes a toy support base, a stable support frame, a performance ball track, an inclined ball track, a drop guide tube, a horizontal splicing track, game balls and a child control rod, wherein: the stable support frame is installed on the surface of the toy support base by bolts, and the performance ball track is set on the outside of the stable support frame, and the inclined ball track is installed on both ends of the performance ball track by buckles; the drop guide tube is installed on the surface of the toy support base by bolts, and the opening at the upper end of the drop guide tube is connected to one end of the performance ball track; the horizontal splicing track is installed on one end of the inclined ball track by buckles, and the other end of the horizontal splicing track is connected to the opening at the bottom end of the drop guide tube. The setting of the horizontal splicing track and the child control rod of the utility model can enable children to install it independently, and the ball cannot move on the track surface actively.

[0003] The existing track ball toys of this type require the balls that have rolled to the lowest point to be picked up manually and then placed on the top of the track, which is troublesome. Especially when a large number of balls are to be placed on the top of the track at one time, it is very inconvenient to pick them up one by one by hand.

[0004] Therefore, a track ball toy is needed which can more conveniently put a large number of balls at the bottom into the track top at one time. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a track ball toy which can more conveniently put a large number of balls at the bottom into the top of the track at one time.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A track ball toy, comprising a ball performance track and a ball lifting assembly, wherein the ball lifting assembly comprises a lifting rotating wheel;

[0008] The lifting wheel comprises a back plate, which is arranged vertically or inclined; a lifting wheel disc is rotatably arranged in front of the back plate, which is arranged parallel to the back plate, a ball transport hole is arranged on the lifting wheel disc, and a ball outlet hole is arranged on the back plate on the moving path of the ball transport hole;

[0009] The ball performance track includes an upper ball entry track and a lower ball exit area, wherein the ball entry track is connected to the ball exit hole, and the ball exit area is connected to the front of the lifting wheel.

[0010] Specifically, a hand crank can be installed on the lifting wheel to facilitate the rotation of the lifting wheel, and the distance between the lifting wheel and the back plate is not greater than the diameter of the ball.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the balls that roll down to the end of the ball performance track enter the ball transport hole from the ball exit area. As long as the lifting wheel is turned, the ball transport hole will be driven until the balls inside move to the ball exit hole position. Since the ball exit hole is set on a vertically or inclined back plate, when the ball transport hole reaches the ball exit hole position, the balls will automatically roll out of the ball exit hole and fall into the ball entry track of the ball performance track and start rolling down the ball performance track. It is only necessary to continuously rotate the lifting wheel to continuously and continuously load the balls that roll down the ball performance track to the ball entry track of the ball performance track and roll them down from top to bottom again, which is very convenient. It is even possible to set a number of identical ball transport holes at the same distance of the circular ring around the rotating shaft of the lifting wheel, so that the lifting wheel can transport more balls into the ball entry track of the ball performance track when it rotates one circle.

[0012] As an improved solution, the back plate is provided with multiple ball outlet holes, at least two of which are located on the moving path of the same ball transport hole, and the ball performance track is provided with multiple ball entry tracks, and the multiple ball entry tracks are respectively connected to the multiple ball outlet holes.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting wheel can transport the same ball to different ball outlet holes by choosing to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby improving playability.

[0014] As an improved solution, the lifting wheel disc is provided with a plurality of ball transport holes at unequal distances from the rotation axis of the lifting wheel disc, and the back plate is provided with a plurality of ball outlet holes at unequal distances from the rotation axis of the lifting wheel disc.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple concentric rings can be set at the same distance around the rotating axis of the lifting wheel, and corresponding ball outlet holes and ball transport holes are set on each concentric ring, so that a lifting wheel can transport balls on multiple different transport paths at the same time.

[0016] As an improved solution, the ball performance track is provided with a plurality of ball outlet areas, and the plurality of ball outlet areas are connected to the moving path of the same ball transport hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a plurality of branch roads can be set up on the ball performance track, and the plurality of branch roads finally lead to different ball outlet areas, but these ball outlet areas are finally connected to the moving path of the same bead transport hole, so that no matter which branch road the ball goes to, it will eventually converge on the moving path of the same bead transport hole, and thus return to the same ball entry track.

[0018] As an improved solution, the ball lifting assembly includes several groups of back plates and lifting wheels, which are connected up and down, and among the two adjacent groups of back plates and lifting wheels, the back plate of the lower group is arranged in front of the higher lifting wheel, and the ball outlet hole of the back plate of the lower group is arranged on the moving path of the ball transport hole of the higher lifting wheel.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, several groups of back plates and lifting wheels are connected in series up and down, and the lifting wheel below transports the balls to the adjacent lifting wheel above, and then relays in sequence. The advantage of this is that compared with directly using a lifting wheel with a large diameter, the large diameter of the lifting wheel will not hinder the setting of the ball performance track on both sides, leaving more space and providing more possibilities for ball performances.

[0020] As an improved solution, the ball lifting assembly also includes a transmission motor, and the transmission motor is connected to the lifting wheel in a transmission manner.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, there is no need to manually rotate the lifting wheel every time the balls are transported. The balls can be transported continuously by using the transmission motor.

[0022] As an improved solution, a clutch is provided on the transmission motor, and the clutch can cut off / connect the transmission connection between the transmission motor and the lifting wheel.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to freely switch between electric and manual transportation of the balls.

[0024] As an improved solution, the ball performance track is provided with two ball entry tracks leading to the same ball outlet hole, and the ends of the two ball entry tracks are connected with switchers, which can make the balls coming out of the ball outlet hole enter the two ball entry tracks in turn.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the same ball outlet hole can transport balls to two different ball entry tracks in turn, thereby increasing the possibility of more performances and games.

[0026] As an improved solution, the switch is T-shaped including a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, and the switch is hinged between the two ball entry tracks; the balls coming out of the ball outlet holes fall onto the vertical plate and roll down, leaving the switch through one side of the horizontal plate while driving the switch to rotate.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0028] The ball rolling down to the end of the ball performance track enters the ball transport hole from the ball exit area. As long as the lifting wheel is turned, the ball transport hole will be driven until the ball inside moves to the ball exit hole position. Since the ball exit hole is set on a vertical or inclined back plate, when the ball transport hole reaches the ball exit hole position, the ball will automatically roll out of the ball exit hole and fall into the ball entry track of the ball performance track and start rolling down the ball performance track. Just by continuously turning the lifting wheel, the balls rolling down to the end of the ball performance track can be continuously and continuously loaded into the ball entry track of the ball performance track and rolled down from top to bottom again, which is very convenient.
