[0046] 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.

[0047] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 10 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.

[0048] The track climbing mechanism of this embodiment includes a track connector 1 , a first track clamp 2 , a support beam 3 and a plurality of support columns 4 to form a climbing assembly of a toy track 10 .

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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 respectively connect 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 portion of the first track clamp 2 is provided with a clamping post 22. Preferably, two clamping posts are symmetrically arranged.

[0051] The support beam 3 is located below the first track clamp 2. Its central upper surface is provided with a snap-in interface 31 corresponding to the snap-in post 22, with its ends configured as support column mounting structures. The snap-in post 22 and snap-in interface 31 are swivellable, facilitating angle adjustment between the support beam 3 and the toy track 10 during the climbing phase and providing flexible assembly. Of course, the two sides of the snap-in post 22 can also be flat to ensure a fixed snap-in angle.

[0052] The support column assembly structure includes an upper support column assembly position 32 and a lower support column assembly position 33. In this embodiment, the upper support column assembly position 32 is a fixed structure for plugging with the lower end of the support column 4. The lower support column assembly position 33 adopts a detachable structure, including an assembly groove 331 and a pillar assembly part 332 located at the lower part of the two ends of the support beam 3. The upper part of the pillar assembly part 332 is detachably plugged into the assembly groove 331, and the lower part of the pillar assembly part 332 is detachably plugged into the upper end of the support column 4. Figure 8 and 9The detachable structure of the lower support column assembly position 33 in this embodiment is flexible to assemble and is convenient for future expansion.

[0053] The support posts 4 are provided in multiple height specifications, and are respectively used to connect with the upper support post assembly position 32 and the lower support post assembly position 33 of the support beam 3 to achieve support, climbing and raising, and stacking assembly of the toy track 10. This embodiment provides 1-5 specifications to meet the climbing and raising requirements of general tracks.

[0054] Please refer to the attached Figure 11 As shown, the track climbing mechanism further includes a pillar extension sleeve 41. The upper and lower parts of the pillar extension sleeve 41 are respectively used to connect the support column 4 to extend the height of the support column to meet the assembly requirements of different slopes.

[0055] Better, such as Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the track climbing mechanism also includes a support base 5 for installation at the starting point of the toy track climbing. The upper surface of the support base 5 is provided with a latching interface 51 identical to the upper surface of the support beam 3. This allows the support base 5 to engage with the first track clip 2, providing minimal support for the toy track 10 and mitigating jerks when the track vehicle climbs.

[0056] Also, refer to the attached Figure 15 and 16 As shown, this embodiment also includes a pier member 6, and an upper support column assembly position 61 is provided on the upper part of the pier member 6 for detachable connection with the lower end of the support column 4, for stabilizing the climbing mechanism and ensuring the stability of the support column 4.

[0057] More preferably, the track climbing mechanism further comprises a pull rod 8. Pull rings are provided on the sides of the pier member 6 and the supporting beam 3. One end of the pull rod 8 is connected to the pull ring 62 on the side of the pier member 6, and the other end is connected to the pull ring 34 on the side wall of the supporting beam 3 adjacent to the pier member 6. Figure 16 As shown, the upright strength of the climbing mechanism is greatly improved.

[0058] Furthermore, if a toy track 10 is required between the two piers 6, to ensure the overall stability of the track, the inner and outer sides of the piers 6 are provided with snap-fit protrusions 63 for connection and subsequent extension. The track climbing mechanism also includes pier connectors 7 for securing the assembly position of the piers 6.

[0059] As attached Figure 17 As shown, the pier connector 7 includes a single-interface pier connector 71 and a double-interface pier connector 72. Figure 18As shown, one end of the single-interface bridge pier connector 71 is configured as a snap-in groove 711 connected to the snap-in protrusion 63, and the other end is configured as a single plug-in interface 712 inserted into a sleeper of the toy track 10. Figure 19 As shown, one end of the dual-interface bridge pier connector 72 is configured as a snap-in groove 721 that connects to the snap-in protrusion 63, and the other end is configured as a double-interface 722 that intersects with the two sleepers of the toy track 10. The single-interface bridge pier connector 71 and the dual-interface bridge pier connector 72 can not only secure the position of the bridge pier, but also further ensure the stability of the climbing mechanism.

[0060] In addition, as attached Figures 20 to 22 As shown, the track climbing mechanism also includes a second track clamp 9 for being set at any position in the middle of the toy track 10. The lower part of the second track clamp 9 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 9 on the support beam 3 or the support base 5. Both ends of the second track clamp 9 are provided with a sleeper support platform 91 for supporting two adjacent sleepers, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 21 and 22 The middle inner side of the sleeper support platform 91 is further provided with a buckling protrusion 92 , and the two buckling protrusions 92 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 .

[0061] The track toy of the utility model can flexibly and diversely set various assembly modes of the toy track through the arrangement of the various components in the track climbing mechanism, meet the game diversity, greatly improve the game interest, meet market demand, and enhance market competitiveness.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.
