Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of children's toys, and in particular to a toy car assembly structure and a toy car. Background Technology
[0002] In the current children's toy market, toy cars are a popular type of toy among children, and their design and manufacturing involve a variety of technologies and processes. However, with the continuous expansion of the toy car market and the intensification of competition, some potential safety risks have gradually been exposed, especially in the assembly of the toy car's body structure.
[0003] Traditional children's toy cars are typically assembled from multiple parts, including but not limited to roof panels, doors, and windows. To ensure these parts are securely fixed to the base, manufacturers usually use fasteners such as screws. While this method is simple and reliable, it still poses safety risks. First, during assembly, the screws are often fastened to the base from top to bottom, leaving the screw heads exposed. This not only affects the overall aesthetics of the toy car but may also arouse children's curiosity and exploratory drive. Children may try to touch, twist, or even pull out these screws while playing, increasing the risk of accidental injury.
[0004] Secondly, since children typically use toys by grabbing the body panels, the existing assembly and fastening methods make the fasteners more prone to loosening and falling off. Because toy cars experience various vibrations and impacts during use, screws may loosen and fall off over time. If screws or other fasteners fall off and are picked up by children, they could pose a risk of accidental swallowing or injury, seriously threatening children's health and safety.

[0039] Example 1:
[0040] To address the problems of exposed fasteners in current toy car assembly structures, which result in unsightly car body panels, potential child touch during play, and limited screw layout leading to loose screws and serious safety hazards, this embodiment provides a toy car assembly structure. This structure includes a base 10, a panel 20 that mates with the base 10, and a decorative piece 30. The panel 20 has a cavity 21 on its side for mounting the decorative piece 30. The base 10 has a fastening seat 11 at a corresponding position inside the cavity 21. The decorative piece 30 has a mating seat 31 that engages with the fastening seat 11 for locking. Furthermore, the fastening seat 11 has a mounting hole 111 penetrating the base 10. The mating seat 31 of the decorative piece 30 is embedded in the cavity 21 and mounted on the panel 20. During assembly, the base 10 mates with the panel 20, and the base 10 and panel 20 are fixedly connected by the fastening seat 11, the mating seat 31, and the fasteners.
[0041] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the base 10 is the chassis of the toy car. Fasteners can be mounted from bottom to top on this chassis to securely connect the base 10 and the panel 20. This design allows for concealed assembly, preventing children from seeing the fasteners and attempting to touch them, thus reducing safety risks. The panel 20 is the toy car body, used to fit and connect with the base 10. The outer surface of the panel 20 does not have mounting holes 212, ensuring the toy car's aesthetic appeal. A decorative piece 30 is added to cooperate with the base 10 in mounting the panel 20 onto it. This has the advantage of reducing assembly difficulty, minimizing the complexity and steps involved in parts production, and thus reducing costs. This is because, in this assembly method, the decorative piece 30 can be formed separately through injection molding, without being separated from the car body, reducing parts production requirements, increasing the production yield, reducing costs, and facilitating assembly line assembly, thus reducing assembly time.
[0042] On the other hand, this assembly method reduces the risk of fasteners loosening and falling off. Toy cars are usually used by lifting the car body. If the fasteners are directly connected to the bottom of the car body, the lifting force on the screws and other fasteners during handling can cause them to vibrate internally, leading to loosening over time. In this assembly method, the fasteners are mounted on the base 10 and the decorative panel 30. When lifting the car body (panel 20), the fasteners will not be directly touched, reducing the risk of loosening. Furthermore, this assembly method allows for concealed assembly on the outer surface, greatly improving its aesthetics and increasing the product's market competitiveness.
[0043] For a better user experience, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-10 The following provides some specific implementation methods for this embodiment.
[0044] Preferably, the cavity 21 includes a recessed groove 211 and a mounting hole 212. The recessed groove 211 is recessed from the side of the panel 20, and its shape and size match the decorative piece 30. The mounting hole 212 is located in the recessed groove 211 and extends through the side of the panel 20. The mating seat 31 of the decorative piece 30 is inserted into the inside of the panel 20 through the mounting hole 212. The shape and thickness of the decorative piece 30 match the recessed groove 211. After its main body is inserted into the recessed groove 211, its outer surface is relatively flush with the surface of the vehicle body, which improves its aesthetics and provides a certain limiting function. The mating seat 31 is inside the panel 20 and cooperates with the fasteners that pass through the fastening seat 11 of the base 10 to lock the panel 20 onto the base 10.
[0045] Preferably, the cavity 21 is located on one or more of the following sides: the left side, the right side, the rear side, and the front side of the panel 20. For example, in one specific embodiment, the toy car assembly structure is provided with multiple decorative pieces 30, and the panel 20 is provided with cavities 21 on the left and right sides and the rear side. The decorative pieces 30 are inserted into the cavity 21, and a fastening connection is achieved between the left and right sides and the rear side of the panel 20 and the base 10, thus realizing the installation of the panel 20 in various positions.
[0046] In terms of specific arrangement, preferably, the fastening seat 11 is recessed upward from the bottom of the base 10, and a boss 112 is formed on the top of the base 10. The mounting hole 111 is provided on the boss 112. The mating seat 31 protrudes from one side of the decorative piece 30 and extends towards the base 10 to form a connecting seat 311 for fastener mating. During assembly, fasteners such as round-head screws enter the fastening seat 11 at the bottom of the base 10, pass through the mounting hole 111, and are threadedly connected to the connecting seat 311, thereby realizing the fastening installation of the panel 20 and the decorative piece 30 on the panel 20.
[0047] To address the issue of cumbersome and repetitive installation of other components in current toy cars, the toy car assembly structure of this embodiment further includes a central control panel 40. The central control panel 40 is equipped with a first positioning member 41, and the bottom of the panel 20 is provided with a second positioning member 22 corresponding to the first positioning member 41. Specifically, the central control panel 40 is placed on the mounting base of the base 10, pressed onto the base 10 by the panel 20, and positioned between the panel 20 and the base 10 by the cooperation of the first positioning member 41 and the second positioning member 22. Preferably, the first positioning member 41 is a positioning hole, and the second positioning member 22 is a positioning seat. During assembly, the center console plate 40 is placed on the mounting seat of the base 10, the panel 20 is moved to the position where it aligns with the base 10, the first positioning component 41 and the second positioning component 22 are aligned and closed, and the panel 20 is fixedly installed on the base 10 by the above-mentioned fastening method. At the same time, the installation of the panel 20 limits the center console plate 40 between the panel 20 and the base 10, so as to realize the assembly of the toy car parts.
[0048] In a further preferred embodiment, the toy car assembly structure also includes a hood 50, which is provided with a connecting arm 51 and a rotating shaft 52. One end of the connecting arm 51 is connected to the hood 50, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 52. A rotating seat 42 is provided at the bottom of the center console 40, and the rotating shaft 52 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 42. A slot 23 for the connecting arm 51 to rotate is provided between the panel 20 and the center console 40. The hood 50 is rotatably connected to the center console 40 via the connecting arm 51 and the rotating shaft 52. Specifically, the rotating seat 42 is provided with a groove for the axial rotation of the rotating shaft 52. The hood 50 flips relative to the panel 20 by rotating the rotating shaft 52, thus achieving the action of flipping up the hood 50. As a preferred embodiment of this design, a damping block 511 is provided on the bottom protrusion of the connecting arm 51. The damping block 511 abuts against the side wall of the slot 23 when the hood 50 is in the flipped-up state, providing damping force to support the hood 50 in this flipped-up position. The advantage of this connection structure is that the hood 50 is assembled onto the toy car with the center console panel 40 and the panel 20, a clever and reliable fit. The hood 50 cannot fall off when the panel 20 is not opened after assembly. Furthermore, the flip-up function of the hood 50 is flexible and effective; after flipping, the damping block 511 prevents it from falling freely due to gravity, achieving a flip-up retention effect and improving the user experience.
[0049] Example 2:
[0050] Please see Figure 1-10This embodiment provides a toy car, which includes a body structure. Specifically, the body structure includes multiple components such as a base 10, a panel 20, a decorative piece 30, a center console panel 40, and an engine cover 50. The components are assembled using the toy car assembly structure in Embodiment 1 to form the toy car. The toy car does not have a fastening seat 11 installed on the top outer surface, which makes it aesthetically pleasing, reduces the risk of screws loosening and falling off, and provides a high level of safety and user experience.
