[0049] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0050] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the track toy of this embodiment includes several sections of toy tracks 10 for toy vehicles to pass through. The toy track 10 can adopt any existing track structure including longitudinal guide rails and transverse sleepers.

[0051] The track support mechanism of this embodiment includes a track connector 1 , a first track clamp 2 , and a support base 3 to form a connection and support for the toy track 10 .

[0052] Specifically, the track connector 1 is used to be set at the connection of two adjacent toy tracks 10. Two insertion slots 11 are provided on the inner side thereof for inserting the ends of adjacent sleepers to achieve the connection of adjacent tracks. A clamping shaft 12 is provided on the outer side of the track connector 1.

[0053] The first track clamp 2 is located at the bottom of the toy track 10 and has upwardly extending loop buckles 21 on both sides. The loop buckles 21 are respectively connected to the clamping shafts 12 of the track connector 1 on both sides of the toy track 10 to secure the track connector 1. The lower part of the first track clamp 2 is provided with a clamping post 22. Preferably, two clamping posts are symmetrically arranged.

[0054] The support base 3 has a snap-in interface 31 on its upper surface, corresponding to the snap-in posts 22. When the snap-in posts 22 are snapped into the snap-in interface 31, the first track clip 2 is connected to the support base 3, ultimately providing support for the connection between two adjacent toy tracks. The snap-in posts 22 and snap-in interfaces 31 are swingable, facilitating angle adjustment between the support base 3 and the toy track 10 during the climbing phase, ensuring flexible assembly.

[0055] Of course, as attached Figure 6 As shown, both sides of the lower clamping column 22 of the first track clamp 2 are provided with anti-rotation planar structures 221 for ensuring a stable clamping between the clamping column 22 and the clamping interface 31 .

[0056] Refer to the attached Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the track support mechanism also includes a second track clamp 4 for being set at any position in the middle of the toy track. The lower part of the second track clamp 4 has the same structure as the lower part of the first track clamp 2, that is, both are provided with a clamping column for setting the second track clamp 4 on the support base 3. Both ends of the second track clamp 4 are provided with a sleeper support platform 41 for supporting two adjacent sleepers, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 and 9 The middle inner side of the sleeper support platform 41 is further provided with a buckling protrusion 42 , and the two buckling protrusions 42 are arranged opposite to each other and are used to buckle the outer sides of the guide rails on both sides of the toy track 10 respectively, so as to support the long-distance toy track 10 .

In other words, the support beam 5 can completely replace the support base 3 to support the toy track 10. Both ends of the support beam 5 are configured as support column mounting structures for connection to the support columns.

[0058] Specifically, as attached Figure 11 and 12As shown, the support column assembly structure includes an upper support column assembly position 52 and a lower support column assembly position 53. In this embodiment, the upper support column assembly position 52 is a fixed structure for plugging with the lower end of the support column.

The detachable structure of the lower support column assembly position 53 in this embodiment is flexible to assemble and convenient for future expansion. Of course, the detachable plug-in connection between the upper part of the pillar assembly part 532 and the assembly groove 531 can also be a concave-convex structure, as shown in the attached Figure 12 shown.

[0059] Please refer to the attached Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the track support mechanism in this embodiment also includes an extended crossbeam 6, and the middle upper surface of the extended crossbeam 6 is provided with a card interface 61 that is the same as the upper surface of the support base 3, and is also used to clamp the first track clamp 2 or the second track clamp 4. That is, the extended crossbeam 6 can also replace the support base 3 to achieve support for the toy track 10. One end of the extended crossbeam 6 is configured as a support column assembly structure 62, and the other end thereof is provided with an extension groove 63. The outer side of the support column assembly structure 62 is provided with an extension protrusion 64 that matches the extension groove 63. When in use, the left and right extension of the extended crossbeam 6 is achieved by the cooperation of the end-to-end extension groove 63 and the extension protrusion 64, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 14 Of course, the extension groove 63 can also cooperate with the extension protrusions on other crossbeams to achieve the extension of other crossbeams.

[0060] The support column assembly structure 62 is the same as the support column assembly structure on both sides of the support beam 5, including the upper support column assembly position and the lower support column assembly position. The construction of the extended beam 6 can achieve unlimited extension of the beam, realize the span of multiple tracks, and also reduce the use of bottom support columns.

[0061] Please refer to the attached Figures 17 to 19As shown, the track support mechanism in this embodiment also includes a steering support beam 7, which includes a first support beam 71 and a second support beam 72. The middle upper surfaces of the first support beam 71 and the second support beam 72 are provided with the same card interface as the upper surface of the support base 3, which is also used to clamp the first track clamp 2 or the second track clamp 4. That is, the steering support beam 7 can also replace the support base 3 to achieve support for the toy track 10. The first end of the first support beam 71 and the first end of the second support beam 72 are rotatably connected, and the second end of the first support beam 71 and the second end of the second support beam 72 are both configured to form a support column assembly structure. Of course, the support column assembly structure is the same as the support column assembly structure on both sides of the support beam 5, including an upper support column assembly position and a lower support column assembly position.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first support beam 71 and the second support beam 72 can be rotatably connected by any existing rotatable connection method, such as a bearing connection.

[0063] Please refer to the attached Figures 20 to 22 As shown, the track support mechanism in this embodiment also includes support columns 8 and piers 9. The support columns 8 are available in multiple height specifications for assembling the climbing mechanism of the toy track. This embodiment provides 1-5 specifications to meet the climbing and elevation requirements of general tracks.

[0064] Please refer to the attached Figure 21 As shown, the track climbing mechanism further includes a pillar extension sleeve 81. The upper and lower parts of the pillar extension sleeve 81 are respectively used to connect the support column 8 to extend the height of the support column to meet the assembly requirements of different slopes.

[0065] In this embodiment, the upper part of the bridge pier member 9 is provided with an upper support column assembly position 91, the lower end of the support column 8 is detachably connected to the upper support column assembly position 91 of the bridge pier member 9, and the upper end of the support column 8 is detachably connected to the lower support column assembly position of the support column assembly structure, thereby raising the toy track and the supporting beam and forming a climbing mechanism as needed, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 23 and 24 Of course, the crossbeam in the lifting mechanism or climbing mechanism can also be an extended crossbeam or a steering support crossbeam to expand the ductility of the toy track.

[0066] The track support mechanism in this embodiment also includes a pier connector. Figure 25 As shown, the pier connector includes a single-interface pier connector 101 and a double-interface pier connector 102. Figure 26As shown, one end of the single-interface pier connector 101 is configured as a snap-in groove 1011 connected to the snap-in protrusion 93, and the other end is configured as a single plug-in interface 1012 inserted into a sleeper of the toy track 10. Figure 27 As shown, one end of the dual-interface pier connector 102 is configured as a snap-in groove 1021 that connects to the snap-in protrusion 93, and the other end is configured as a dual-interface 1022 that intersects with the two sleepers of the toy track 10. The single-interface pier connector 101 and the dual-interface pier connector 102 can not only secure the position of the pier member, but also further ensure the stability of the support mechanism.

[0067] The utility model track toy can flexibly and variously set various assembly modes of the toy track through the arrangement of the various components in the track support mechanism. Figure 28 It shows a splicing mode, which can not only realize multi-track, multi-turn and large-span track assembly of flat track, but also realize the climbing and raising of track, meet the diversity of game, greatly improve the fun of game, meet market demand and enhance market competitiveness.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Those skilled in the art can make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications based on the technical content disclosed above, which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
