Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toy cars, in particular to a toy car with a camera. Background Art

[0002] In some remote-controlled toy cars, the front-wheel steering mechanisms mostly use a grouped drive motor to drive the car to turn. This is mainly achieved by the drive motor driving the transmission gear, thereby changing the angle of the two front wheels to achieve the toy car's steering action. Therefore, during the steering process, the front wheels cannot rotate synchronously with the rear wheels at high speed, resulting in a slower speed during the turn and an inability to achieve drifting. Some front-wheel steering mechanisms use electromagnetic coils to generate magnetism to achieve wheel steering. This is mainly achieved by the mutual attraction and repulsion between the magnetism generated by the coil wound around a circular iron core and a permanent magnetic ring fixed to the bottom of the car. However, this structural device has poor operational reliability and its steering is basically unadjustable, which makes it difficult to accurately operate the remote-controlled toy car and also makes it impossible to achieve drifting. At present, some toy cars use universal joints to achieve the steering mechanism. Although universal joints can achieve the toy car turning while the wheels continue to rotate at high speed, achieving drifting, the existing universal joints are complex in structure and use many parts, resulting in high manufacturing costs. In addition, the existing toy cars have a limited function, which affects the playability of the toy cars. Utility Model Content
