Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy train technology, specifically a connecting mechanism for toy trains. Background Technology

[0002] Sightseeing trains, also known as miniature sightseeing trains, are a type of transportation specifically designed for scenic spots, parks, and resorts. They aim to provide a unique sightseeing experience, primarily for transporting tourists and facilitating sightseeing tours. They can shuttle between various attractions within a scenic area, offering convenient transportation services. Sightseeing trains can be categorized into tracked trains and trackless trains based on their operating method. Trackless trains use tires or tracks, are not restricted by tracks, and are more flexible, allowing for adjustments based on the terrain and distribution of attractions within the scenic area. (The following text appears to be unrelated and possibly a separate document: "In the existing technology, authorized publication number CN...") 213407720U proposes a mobile amusement train, including a base, a locomotive, a drive mechanism, and a buffer assembly. First, the second connecting rod on the right side of the carriage is aligned with the first connecting rod on the left side of the locomotive. Then, the first and second connecting rods are connected by fixing bolts. The drive motor is started, driving the drive rod located inside the base to drive the locomotive. The number of carriages can be increased by adding the first and second connecting rods according to the number of passengers, facilitating more passengers' rides. However, during the train's movement, forces are transmitted between the trains, especially during the start and stop of movement, resulting in significant impact forces and reduced ride comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a connecting mechanism for a toy train. This mechanism converts the horizontal movement between toy trains into vertical movement, causing the buffer component to deform. This reduces the angle limitation of the buffer component's operation and provides good cushioning during the toy train's straight-line and turning processes, thereby improving the comfort of riding the toy train and effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a connecting mechanism for a toy train, comprising two fixed plates distributed left and right, connecting plates provided on the opposite inner sides of the two fixed plates, sliding grooves provided on the surface of the connecting plates, a connecting column slidably connected between the two sliding grooves, and a buffer assembly.

[0005] The buffer assembly includes a sliding plate, a spring, a rotating plate, and a support plate. The sliding plates are vertically slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer arc surface of the connecting column. A spring is provided between each of the two sliding plates and the middle of the connecting column. The spring is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the connecting column. The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the rotating groove on the surface of the sliding plate through a rotating shaft. The end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the support plate through a rotating shaft. The support plate is fixedly connected to the adjacent fixed plate. This converts the horizontal movement between the toy trains into vertical movement, causing the buffer component to deform. This reduces the angle limitation of the buffer component's operation and provides good cushioning during the toy train's straight-line movement and turning, improving the comfort of riding the toy train.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting column includes a connecting pipe and a sleeve. The connecting pipe is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove. The outer arc surface of the threaded ring at the end of the connecting pipe is threaded with the sleeve. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the outer arc surface of the sleeve. The spring is respectively disposed between the connecting pipe and the adjacent sliding plate. The spring is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the sleeve to provide guiding support for the movement of the sliding plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting post also includes a cylinder, which is inserted between the two sleeves and passes through the interior of the connecting tube to connect the two sleeves.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting column also includes a sliding column, which is respectively disposed at the front and rear ends of the outer arc face of the connecting tube. The sliding column is laterally slidably connected to the limiting sliding groove on the front and rear inner walls of the sliding groove to restrict the movement trajectory of the sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting column also includes a limiting plate, which is respectively disposed at the end of the sleeve away from the connecting plate to limit the movement range of the sliding plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer assembly also includes a second support plate, a second sliding plate, and a second rotating plate. The second sliding plate is vertically slidably connected to the outer arc surface of the sleeve. The rotating groove on the surface of the second sliding plate is rotatably connected to the second rotating plate via a third rotating shaft. The ends of the second rotating plate are rotatably connected to the second support plate via a fourth rotating shaft. The second support plate is fixedly connected to the adjacent fixed plate. The second rotating plate and the first rotating plate are symmetrical from left to right. Through the cooperation of the second rotating plate and the first rotating plate, a more stable buffer is provided.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a second spring, which is respectively disposed on the opposite inner sides of the two limiting discs. The second spring is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the sleeve, and the deformation of the second spring is used to improve the buffering effect.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The connecting mechanism of this toy train has the following advantages:

[0013] Converting the horizontal movement between the ride trains into vertical movement causes the buffer components to deform, reducing the angle limitation of the buffer components and providing good cushioning during the ride train's straight-line and turning processes, thereby improving the comfort of the ride.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a connecting mechanism for a ride train, including a fixed plate 1, which facilitates the connection between the connecting mechanism and the ride train. There are two fixed plates 1, which are distributed left and right. Each of the two fixed plates 1 has a connecting plate 2 on its opposite inner side. Each of the connecting plates 2 has a sliding groove 5 on its surface. A connecting post 3 is slidably connected between the two sliding grooves 5. The two connecting plates 2 are connected by the connecting post 3 to realize the connection between the ride trains. It also includes a buffer component 4.

[0020] Buffer assembly 4 includes a sliding plate 41, a spring 42, a rotating plate 43, and a support plate 44. The sliding plates 41 are vertically slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer arc surface of the connecting column 3. A spring 42 is provided between each of the two sliding plates 41 and the middle of the connecting column 3, and the spring 42 is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the connecting column 3. A rotating plate 43 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove on the surface of each sliding plate 41 via a rotating shaft 1. The end of each rotating plate 43 is rotatably connected to a support plate 44 via a rotating shaft 2. The support plates 44 are fixedly connected to adjacent fixed plates 1. Regardless of whether the toy train is moving straight or turning, when force is transmitted between the toy trains, the force will cause a change in the distance between the two fixed plates 1. This change is achieved through the rotation of the rotating plates 43 and 44. Connecting the connecting pipe 32, the sliding plate 41 slides on the outer arc surface of the sleeve 33, and the spring 42 extends and retracts. The extension and retraction of the spring 42 reduces the impact between the toy trains and improves the riding comfort. The connecting column 3 includes a connecting pipe 32 and a sleeve 33. The connecting pipe 32 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 5. The outer arc surface of the threaded ring at the end of the connecting pipe 32 is threaded with the sleeve 33. The sliding plate 41 is slidably connected to the outer arc surface of the sleeve 33. The spring 42 is respectively set between the connecting pipe 32 and the adjacent sliding plate 41. The spring 42 is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the sleeve 33. First, the cylinder 31 is passed through the middle hole of the sliding plate 41, the middle hole of the rotating plate 47, and the inside of the connecting pipe 32. Then, the sleeve 33 passes through the central round hole of the slide plate 41 and the central round hole of the rotating plate 47 on the same side, and is finally threaded into the connecting pipe 32 to complete the connection of the toy train. The connecting post 3 also includes a cylinder 31, which is inserted between the two sleeves 33 and passes through the inside of the connecting pipe 32 to connect the two sleeves 33. The connecting post 3 also includes a sliding post 35, which is respectively set at the front and rear ends of the outer arc of the connecting pipe 32. The sliding post 35 is laterally slidably connected to the limiting sliding groove on the front and rear inner walls of the sliding groove 5 to limit the movement trajectory of the connecting pipe 32. The connecting post 3 also includes a limiting plate 34, which is respectively set at the end of the sleeve 33 away from the connecting plate 2 to limit the movement range of the slide plate 41. The buffer assembly 4 also includes a support plate 2. 45. Slide plate 2 46 and rotating plate 2 47. Slide plate 2 46 is vertically slidably connected to the outer arc surface of sleeve 33. Rotating plate 2 47 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove on the surface of slide plate 2 46 through rotating shaft 3. The end of rotating plate 2 47 is rotatably connected to support plate 2 45 through rotating shaft 4. Support plate 2 45 is fixedly connected to the adjacent fixed plate 1. Rotating plate 2 47 and rotating plate 1 43 are symmetrical. The cooperation between rotating plate 2 47 and rotating plate 1 43 makes the buffering of the connecting mechanism more stable. It also includes spring 2 6. Spring 2 6 is respectively set on the opposite inner side of the two limiting plates 34. Spring 2 6 is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of sleeve 33. During the relative separation of rotating plate 2 47, rotating plate 2 47 squeezes spring 2 6 to contract, improving the impact resistance of the connecting mechanism.

[0021] The working principle of the connecting mechanism for a toy train provided by this utility model is as follows: In use, the fixing plate 1 is fixed to the surface of the toy train using bolts. When connecting the toy train, firstly, the cylinder 31 passes through the central hole of the sliding plate 41, the central hole of the rotating plate 47, and the interior of the connecting pipe 32. Then, two sleeves 33 pass through the central holes of the sliding plate 41 and the rotating plate 47 on the same side, respectively, and are finally threaded to the adjacent connecting pipe 32. The sleeves 33 provide guiding support for the movement of the sliding plate 41 and the rotating plate 47, completing the connection of the toy train. During the movement of the toy train, when… When the ride train turns, the slide plate 41 rotates relative to the sleeve 33, and the connecting pipe 32 rotates relative to the cylinder 31. Whether the ride train is going straight or turning, when the force is transmitted between the ride trains, the force will cause the distance between the two fixed plates 1 to change. Through the rotational connection of the rotating plate 43 and the rotating plate 47, the connecting pipe 32 slides in the groove 5, and the slide plate 41 slides on the outer arc surface of the sleeve 33, converting the horizontal force into a vertical force, which pushes the spring 42 to extend and retract. The extension and retraction of the spring 42 reduces the impact between the ride trains and improves the ride comfort.

[0022] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
