[0029] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides a toy device for simulating a driving game, comprising a housing 1, an operating mechanism 2, a transparent window 3, and a dynamic interactive mechanism arranged on the housing 1; the housing 1 is in the shape of a car front; the dynamic interactive mechanism comprises a car model 4, a film 5, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly, and a drive assembly; the car model 4 is located between the transparent window 3 and the film 5, and is connected to the steering wheel 201 of the operating mechanism 2 via the first transmission assembly; the drive assembly is in transmission connection with the film 5 via the second transmission assembly.

[0031] When a child turns the steering wheel 201, the car model 4 moves back and forth on the film 5 below the transparent window 3, simulating the child's actual driving maneuvers. The film 5 is printed with a driving scene pattern, and a drive assembly rotates the film 5 to display the dynamically changing driving scene. This allows children to clearly and intuitively see the car model 4 through the transparent window 3, combining it with the dynamic driving scene on the film 5 to simulate driving in the dynamic driving scene, enhancing the game's fun and interactivity. Furthermore, the housing 1 is designed like the front of a car, eliminating the need to sit inside the cockpit for operation. This simplifies the structure and reduces operational difficulty, making it suitable for children of all ages and easily adaptable to various settings, such as at home or in amusement parks.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the first transmission assembly includes a first gear 6, a second gear 7, a third gear 8 and a rack 9. The second gear 7 has a first tooth portion 701 and a second tooth portion 702. The third gear 8 has a third tooth portion 801 and a fourth tooth portion 802. The first gear 6 is connected to the steering wheel 201 through the rotating shaft 202 of the operating mechanism 2. The first tooth portion 701 is engaged with the first gear 6, the second tooth portion 702 is engaged with the third tooth portion 801, and the fourth tooth portion 802 is engaged with the rack 9. The rack 9 is connected to the car model 4 through the connecting member 10.

[0033] Furthermore, the rack 9 is arranged parallel to the length direction of the film 5 .

[0034] When a child turns steering wheel 201, rotating shaft 202 rotates first gear 6. This meshes with first tooth 701 of second gear 7, which in turn drives second gear 7 to rotate. Second tooth 702 of second gear 7 meshes with third tooth 801 of third gear 8, further driving third gear 8 to rotate. Fourth tooth 802 of third gear 8 meshes with rack 9, converting rotational motion into linear motion of rack 9. This linear motion is then transmitted to vehicle model 4 via connector 10, causing it to reciprocate across film 5, simulating the effect of a moving vehicle.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a micro switch 15 is also included. The first gear 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 202 through a connecting seat 14. A trigger protrusion 1401 is provided on the lower part of the connecting seat 14. The trigger end of the micro switch 15 is located on the rotation path of the trigger protrusion 1401.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting seat 14 is connected to the rotating shaft 202 by bolts. The first gear 6 is sleeved on the connecting seat 14. The triggering protrusions 1401 are multiple and are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the connecting seat 14.

[0037] When the steering wheel 201 is rotated, the connecting base 14 and the trigger protrusion 1401 rotate accordingly. When the trigger protrusion 1401 passes the trigger end of the micro switch 15, the micro switch 15 is triggered and sends a signal to the control board 24. After receiving the signal, the control board 24 determines that the toy device is being operated and controls the motor 11 to continuously rotate, driving the film 5 to continuously scroll and maintain the dynamic changes in the driving scene of the game.

[0038] If the steering wheel 201 is not turned for a long time, resulting in the micro switch 15 not being triggered within a preset time range, the control motherboard 24 determines that the toy device is not operated and automatically shuts down to enter the power saving mode.

[0039] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a limiting protrusion 1402 is provided on the upper part of the connecting seat 14 , and a first limiting plate 16 and a second limiting plate 17 are provided on the operating shell 203 of the operating mechanism 2 . The first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17 are located on the rotation path of the limiting protrusion 1402 .

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 1402 and the triggering protrusion 1401 are provided correspondingly.

[0041] The rotation range of the steering wheel 201 is limited by the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 1402 and the first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17. That is, when the limiting protrusion 1402 contacts any limiting plate, further rotation of the steering wheel 201 will be prevented to avoid damage to components that may be caused by excessive rotation. At the same time, it is ensured that the movement range of the car model 4 on the film 5 is controllable.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly includes a motor 11, the second transmission assembly includes a driving wheel 13 and a transmission frame, the transmission frame includes three rotating shafts 12 arranged in a triangle, and the film 5 is laid on the rotating shafts 12; the driving wheel 13 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 11, and together with a rotating shaft 12, clamps and drives the film 5 to roll.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotating shafts 12 are arranged in a form of two at the top and one at the bottom. The rotating shaft 12 at the top and the driving wheel 13 clamp the film 5 together and drive it to roll.

[0044] A soft rubber ring 1301 is mounted on the driving wheel 13 to increase the friction between the driving wheel 13 and the film 5 .

[0045] Motor 11 acts as a power source. When motor 11 drives driving wheel 13 to rotate, the soft rubber ring 1301 on driving wheel 13 comes into close contact with film 5, generating friction. This, in conjunction with a rotating shaft 12 located above, causes film 5 to continuously roll as driving wheel 13 rotates, displaying a dynamically changing driving scene.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a sound generating component is also included, which is arranged on the steering wheel 201 of the operating mechanism 2 .

[0047] The sound generating assembly includes a sound generating button 22 and a sound generator which are sequentially arranged on the steering wheel 201 from top to bottom. By pressing the sound generating button 22, the sound generator is driven to emit a horn sound during the simulated driving process, thereby increasing the fun.

[0048] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the loudspeaker 18 is also included. A receiving slot is provided on the housing 1, and the loudspeaker 18 is detachably connected to the receiving slot.

[0049] The function of the loudspeaker 18 is to simulate intercom communication during driving and increase the interactivity of the game.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a gear lever 21 and a toggle switch 23 . The gear lever 21 is movably arranged on the housing 1 . The toggle switch 23 is located on the movable path of the gear lever 21 and is electrically connected to the control mainboard 24 .

[0051] The gear lever 21 simulates the gear operation in a real car, increasing the realism and interactivity of the game. Furthermore, when the gear lever 21 changes position, it triggers the on / off state of the toggle switch 23, which in turn sends a signal to the control board 24. Based on this signal, the control board 24 changes the speed of the motor 11 to adjust the difficulty of the game.

[0052] As an optional embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a control motherboard 24 and a switch button 19. The control motherboard 24 is arranged in the shell 1, and the switch is arranged on the shell 1. The switch button 19, the motor 11, the micro switch 15, the sound component and the loudspeaker 18 are electrically connected to the control motherboard 24 respectively.

[0053] The switch button 19 is used to start or shut down the toy device.

[0054] The function of the control main board 24 is to receive signals from the motor 11, the micro switch 15, the sound generating component, the loudspeaker 18 and the toggle switch 23 and control the aforementioned components to perform corresponding actions.

[0055] Furthermore, a battery box 25 is included. The battery box 25 is arranged on the bottom plate of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the control main board 24 to provide power to the aforementioned power-consuming components.

[0056] It should be noted that the circuit connection relationship of each component is prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a wheel 20, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1.

[0058] Furthermore, the ground contact surface of the wheels 20 is equal to or higher than the bottom plate of the housing 1, so that the housing 1 is more stable when placed and is convenient for children to operate.
