Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway tracks, specifically to a railway track planar intersection component and an O-scale train model. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in existing technology, "O scale" typically refers to the size ratio of a model train or model making, where 1 unit of actual length corresponds to 48 units of length in the model. This scale is commonly used in model making, especially for train models, to ensure that the model's size relationship with the actual object remains consistent. For example, if a real train car is 48 feet long, then the model train car in O scale would be 1 foot long. This scale is very popular among model enthusiasts because it allows for models that are large enough to display details without being too large to handle or display.

[0032] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0033] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] The following reference Figures 1 to 11 This invention describes a rail planar intersection assembly and an O-scale train model according to some embodiments of the present invention.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a rail planar crossing assembly is proposed, comprising: a crossing assembly body 1, on which two sets of grooves are provided; multiple conductive components 2, which are respectively disposed at the inbound end and the outbound end of the crossing assembly body 1, and the conductive components 2 are connected to the rails 3; wherein, the length between the wheel sets is greater than the length of the grooves, the grooves are adapted to the wheel sets, and the conductive components 2 at the outbound end are electrically connected to the conductive components 2 at the inbound end.
[0036] This invention proposes a planar cross-rail assembly for use in 0-scale train models, comprising: a cross-assembly body 1 and multiple conductive components 2. The conductive components 2 are respectively located at the train-entry end and the train-exit end of the cross-assembly body 1, and are connected to rails 3. Because the 0-scale train model receives kinetic energy through the rails 3, the conductive components 2 connected to the rails 3 can also supply power to the conductive components 2 at the train-entry end. Furthermore, the length between the wheel sets of the train model is greater than the length of the groove, ensuring that at least one wheel of the train model is always in contact with the rail 3, thus ensuring a continuous supply of kinetic energy to the train model. The planar cross-rail assembly makes the simulation of the train model more realistic, increasing the playability and flexibility of the device.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cross component body 1 includes: a first cross component 12 body 1, the first cross component 12 body 1 having a notch for the vehicle entry end; a second cross component 14 body 1, the second cross component 14 body 1 having a notch for the vehicle exit end, the second cross component 14 body 1 being connected to the first cross component 12 body 1; wherein, both the first cross component 12 body 1 and the second cross component 14 body 1 have protrusions and connecting ports, the protrusions being adapted to the connecting buckles.
[0038] In this embodiment, the cross component body 1 includes a first cross component 12 body 1 and a second cross component 14 body 1. The first cross component 12 body 1 and the second cross component 14 body 1 are joined together by protrusions and connecting ports, which improves the overall stability of the device and allows for immediate replacement should either the first cross component 12 body 1 or the second cross component 14 body 1 be damaged, thus enhancing the reliability of the device.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the conductive component 2 includes: a first copper sheet 22, which is connected to two rails 3; and a second copper sheet 24, which is connected to one rail 3 and is located on both sides of the first copper sheet 22. There are two first copper sheets 22, which are connected by conductive sheets and wires.

The first copper sheet 22 is connected to two rails 3, and the second copper sheet 24 is connected to one rail 3. The second copper sheet 24 is located on both sides of the first copper sheet 22. The two second copper sheets 24 located diagonally are connected by conductive sheets and wires. The two second copper sheets 24 at the train entry end are connected by wires, thereby energizing rails of the same nature between different rails 3 (for example, if one rail 3 is the positive pole, then its electrical connection is still connected to the positive pole rail 3), thus realizing the power supply to two sections of rails 3 while changing the running trajectory of the train model.
[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the screw passes through the conductive sheet and the first copper sheet 22 in sequence and is connected to the cross component body 1; the screw passes through the conductive sheet and the second copper sheet 24 in sequence and is connected to the cross component body 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, the connection between the conductive sheet and the second copper sheet 24, and the connection between the conductive sheet and the first copper sheet 22 are achieved by screws. This not only increases the stability of the connection, but also ensures that the power can be effectively transmitted, thereby increasing the reliability of the device.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the acute angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 30°.
[0044] In this embodiment, the acute angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 30°, which can simulate the situation where two trains entering or leaving the station are at 30°, increasing the realism and playability of the device.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the acute angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 45°.
[0046] In this embodiment, the acute angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 45°, which can simulate the situation where two trains entering or leaving the station are at 45°, increasing the realism and playability of the device.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the conductive component 2 includes: a cross component body 1 which is a cube; a third copper sheet 26, one end of which is located at the notch at the entry end and the other end of which is located at the notch at the exit end, both ends of which are connected to the rail 3, and the third copper sheet 26 is located at the center line of the cross component body 1; and a fourth copper sheet 28 which is L-shaped, both ends of which are connected to the rail 3, and the fourth copper sheet 28 is located on both sides of the third copper sheet 26; wherein, there are two third copper sheets 26, each of which is a cuboid, and the two third copper sheets 26 intersect perpendicularly.
[0048] In this embodiment, the conductive component 2 includes a third copper sheet 26 and a fourth copper sheet 28, which enables power supply to the two sections of rail 3 while changing the trajectory of the train model.
[0049] Specifically, the intersection of the two third copper plates 26 is connected to the cross assembly body 1 by screws.
[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the included angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 90°.
[0051] In this embodiment, the acute angle formed by the intersection of any two grooves is 90°, which can simulate the situation where two trains entering or leaving the station are at 90°, increasing the realism and playability of the device.
