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.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 13 、 14As shown, the supporting beam 1 of the toy track of this embodiment includes a beam middle portion 11 located below the toy track 10 and beam end portions 12 located at both ends of the beam middle portion 11. A card interface 111 is provided on the upper surface of the beam middle portion 11, and the beam end portions 12 are configured as a support column assembly structure for connecting to the support column 30.

[0037] In this embodiment, the card interface 111 is configured to mate with the track clip 20. The track clip 20 is positioned below the toy track 10 and has upwardly extending eco-friendly buckles at each end for securing to the toy track 10, thereby enabling the support beam 1 to support the toy track 10. Of course, other clips can also be used to connect the toy track to the support beam.

[0038] The support column assembly structure described in this embodiment includes an upper support column assembly position 121 and a lower support column assembly position 122. The upper support column assembly position 121 is a fixed structure, which is used to be plugged and fixed with the upper support column 30. The lower support column assembly position 122 adopts a detachable structure, including an assembly groove 1221 and a pillar assembly part 1222 located at the lower part of the beam end 12. The upper part of the pillar assembly part 1222 is detachably plugged into the assembly groove 1221, and the lower part of the pillar assembly part 1222 is plugged and fixed with the support column below. When the lower support column assembly position 122 is not used, the pillar assembly part 1222 can be removed. The detachable structure of the lower support column assembly position 122 in this embodiment is flexible to assemble and is 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, such as the attached Figure 3 shown.

[0039] In this embodiment, the front and rear sides of the cross beam end 12 are further provided with pull rings 123 for connecting with the pull rod 40 to ensure the stability of the track overlap.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer side of the crossbeam end 12 is provided with an extension protrusion 124 for extending the support crossbeam 1. The extension protrusion 124 is used to match and connect with the extension groove at the end of the extension crossbeam 2 in the following embodiment 2 to extend the support crossbeam 1.

[0041] The middle part of the support beam 1 in this embodiment is used to support the toy track 10, and the two ends can achieve the elevation and multi-layer overlap of the toy track 10 through the insertion of the upper and lower support columns 30, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 13 and 14 shown.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Refer to the attached Figures 4 to 7As shown, the extended crossbeam 2 of the toy track in this embodiment is different from the supporting crossbeam 1 described above in that one end of the supporting crossbeam 1 is simplified, so that it is directly provided with an end having an extension groove 21. In this way, the extension groove 21 can be matched and connected with the extension protrusion 22 of the other end of the crossbeam to form a crossbeam structure that can be connected end to end, meeting the requirements of overlapping multiple tracks in parallel, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 5 to 7 shown.

[0044] Furthermore, the extension groove 21 of the extension beam 2 of this embodiment can also be connected to the extension protrusion 124 of the support beam 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, thereby connecting the extension beam 2 and the support beam 1, thereby horizontally extending the support beam 1. Of course, the extension groove 21 of the extension beam 2 can also be connected to the extension protrusion of the steering support beam 3 of the following embodiment 3, similarly connecting the extension beam 2 and the steering support beam 3, thereby extending the steering support beam 3 and meeting various splicing requirements of toy tracks.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Refer to the attached Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the turning support beam 3 of the toy track of this embodiment includes a first support beam 31 and a second support beam 32. The upper surfaces of the middle portions of the first and second support beams 31, 32 are each provided with a snap-on interface for engaging the toy track 10. The first end of the first support beam 31 is rotatably connected to the first end of the second support beam 32, and the second ends of the first support beam 31 and the second support beam 32 are each configured to form a support column assembly structure for connecting to a support column.

[0047] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 11 and 12 As shown, a downwardly opening annular groove 311 is formed at the first end of the first support beam 31. A central fixing pin 312 and a stop pin 313 disposed on the outer periphery of the central fixing pin 312 are disposed on the inner top surface of the annular groove 311. A positioning ring 314 is disposed within the annular groove 311. A stop hole 315 corresponding to the stop pin 313 is disposed within the positioning ring 314, ensuring that the positioning ring 314 is fixed relative to the annular groove 311.

[0048] A circular rotating disk 321 is provided at the first end of the second support beam 32. An annular lip 322 extending toward the annular groove 311 is provided on the outer side of the rotating disk 321. Evenly spaced rollers 323 are provided on the inner side of the annular lip 322. A central hub 324 extending upward is also provided on the inner side of the rotating disk 321. A connecting sleeve 325 extending into the central hub 324 is provided below the rotating disk 321. A screw 326 passes through the connecting sleeve 325 from bottom to top and engages with the internally threaded hole of the central fixing pin 312, rotatably securing the annular lip 322 and rollers 323 between the annular groove 311 and the positioning ring 314, thereby forming a rotatable connection between the first and second support beams 31 and 32.

[0049] In this embodiment, the outer side of the positioning ring 314 is provided with a limiting protrusion 316 extending between two adjacent rollers 323. In this way, the limiting protrusion 316 can achieve a relative fixation of the angle between the second support beam 32 and the first support beam 31 without affecting the rotation of each other.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second support beam 32 can achieve 180-degree rotation relative to the first support beam 31 , that is, the angle between the second support beam 32 and the first support beam 31 is 90 degrees to 270 degrees.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support column assembly structure provided at the second ends of the first support beam 31 and the second support beam 32 includes an upper support column assembly position and a lower support column assembly position, which can meet the requirements of the upper and lower support columns. The lower support column assembly position also adopts the detachable structure described in Example 1, which is convenient for subsequent development and expansion.

[0052] In addition, an upper support column assembly position is also provided on the upper portion of the first end portion of the first support beam 31, so as to ensure that the use of the steering support beam 3 does not affect the overlap of its upper track.

[0053] In addition, the front and rear sides of the second ends of the first support beam 31 and the second support beam 32 are also provided with pull rings for connecting to the pull rods, and the outer sides of the second ends are also provided with extension protrusions for extending the steering support beam, which is beneficial to the overlap of the steering support beam 3 and the extension beam 2.

[0054] The supporting beam 1, the extending beam 2 and the steering supporting beam 3 of the toy track can be arbitrarily combined to form a beam combination of the track toy, so as to meet the beam support of the toy track 10. Figure 13 and 14As shown, it includes a supporting beam 1, an extension beam 2 and a steering support beam 3, which can meet the parallel splicing of multiple tracks, the upper and lower multi-layer splicing of tracks, and the large-span splicing requirements that affect the upright setting of the support column when the track is changed. It also does not affect the splicing of the track above the steering support beam 3, making the splicing of toy tracks more diverse and richer, and enhancing the fun of game splicing.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.
