[0029] The internal drive assembly 100 includes a drive wheel set 110 driven by a motor and a control system 120, and the control system 120 is electrically connected to the motor.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the two first lamp boards 200 are symmetrically laid on the top surface of the internal drive assembly 100 and connected to the control system 120. A first lamp bead 210 is provided on the side of the first lamp board 200 facing away from the internal drive assembly 100. The first lamp board 200 is connected with a surrounding block 220, and the surrounding block 220 is arranged around the first lamp bead 210 to form a first light shielding chamber 221.

[0031] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it can be understood that the first lamp board 200 is provided with at least two positioning holes 250 , and the enclosure block 220 is provided with a plurality of positioning columns, which are correspondingly passed through the positioning holes 250 and connected to the internal drive assembly 100 .

[0032] By providing the positioning posts and the positioning holes 250 , it is convenient for the user to position and install the first lamp board 200 , thereby improving the installation stability of the first lamp board 200 .

[0033] The car shell 300 covers the internal drive assembly 100 and the first light panel 200. The car shell 300 is provided with a refractor 310 and a first light guide 320. The first light guide 320 is located on one side of the refractor 310. The refractor 310 is located above the first light blocking chamber 221.

The first light board 200 is provided with a second lamp bead 230, which is accommodated in the second light blocking chamber 223.

[0035] By setting up the second light-blocking chamber 223, the light of the second lamp bead 230 can be blocked to prevent the light from leaking out. The light in the second light-blocking chamber 223 passes through the first light-transmitting component 340 and out of the car shell 300, simulating the cab light, ensuring the transparency and brightness of the cab light, and improving the authenticity of the train model.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, it can be understood that a third light-shielding chamber 224 is formed between the first protrusion 222, the second protrusion 331 and the vehicle body 300. The first light board 200 is provided with a third light-emitting diode 240, which is received in the third light-shielding chamber 224. The vehicle body 300 is connected with a second light guide member 350. The second light guide member 350 includes an integrally formed upper part 351 and a lower part 352.

[0037] By providing the third light-shielding chamber 224, the third light-shielding chamber 224 can block the light of the third light-emitting diode 240 to prevent light leakage. The second light guide member 350 guides all the light in the third light-shielding chamber 224 to the upper part 351 through the lower part 352, and the light passes through the decorative shell 353 through the light leakage holes, simulating a roof searchlight, ensuring the permeability and brightness of the searchlight light, and further improving the authenticity of the train model.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that a cabin cover 360 is provided in the middle section of the vehicle body 300. Fourth light-shielding chambers 361 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the cabin cover 360. A second light-transmitting member 362 is provided on the side wall of the fourth light-shielding chamber 361. The inner driving assembly 100 is provided with a groove 113 communicating with the fourth light-shielding chamber 361. The control system 120 is connected with a second light board 400. The second light board 400 is located above the groove 113. A fourth light-emitting diode 410 is provided on the side of the second light board 400 facing the groove 113.

[0039] By providing the fourth light-shielding chamber 361 and the second light-transmitting member 362, the cabin light can be simulated, further improving the authenticity of the train model.

[0040] Furthermore, a reflective coating is provided on the inner wall of the cabin cover 360. The reflective coating is a special type of coating, mainly made of acrylic resin as the base material and mixed with a certain proportion of directional reflective materials. The reflective microbeads contained in such coatings can effectively reflect light, forming an obvious reflective effect, thus improving the visibility of objects.

[0041] By providing the reflective coating, the reflective coating reflects the light in the fourth light-shielding chamber 361 to the second light-transmitting member 362 multiple times, effectively enhancing the simulation effect of the cabin light.

[0042] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that a plurality of fourth light-emitting diodes 410 are provided, and the plurality of fourth light-emitting diodes 410 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vehicle body 300.

[0043] Since the fourth light-shielding chamber 361 has a relatively large volume, multiple fourth lamp beads 410 are provided, which can further enhance the brightness and uniformity of the fourth lamp beads 410, effectively enhancing the simulation effect of the cabin lighting.

[0044] Referring to Figure 6 as shown, it can be understood that the first lamp board 200 and the second lamp board 400 are integrally formed parts.

[0045] Setting the first lamp board 200 and the second lamp board 400 as integrally formed parts can facilitate the production, manufacturing, positioning and installation of the first lamp board 200 and the second lamp board 400, improving the loading and unloading convenience of the train model.

[0046] Referring to Figure 5 as shown, it can be understood that the inner drive assembly 100 includes a pressing block 130, and the pressing block 130 is located above the second lamp board 400 and abuts against the second lamp board 400.

[0047] By providing the pressing block 130, the second lamp board 400 can be limited in the vertical direction, improving the installation stability of the second lamp board 400.

[0048] It can be understood that by providing the enclosing block 220 and the cushion block 330, the first light-shielding chamber 221 enclosed by the enclosing block 220 can tightly enclose the first lamp bead 210, preventing the light of the first lamp bead 210 from leaking out, ensuring that the refracting mirror 310 can set the light to the first light guide member 320, and ensuring the lighting quality. In addition, the first lamp board 200 is laid on the top surface of the inner drive assembly 100, which can save additional installation control space, reduce the volume of the train model, and save manufacturing costs.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
