[0001] This utility model relates to a track toy. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, there are track toys with the following structure: when the drive wheel of one of the multiple self-propelled toys, namely the first self-propelled toy, is spinning in the idling area, another of the multiple self-propelled toys, namely the second self-propelled toy, approaches from behind the first self-propelled toy, thereby causing the drive wheel of the first self-propelled toy to disengage from the idling area (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-57496

[0004] However, the parking mechanism of the above technology is such that when there is a first self-propelled toy parked on a driving road, the first self-propelled toy will start when the second self-propelled toy approaches from behind. Even if the driving roads are set up in parallel and parking mechanisms are set up separately, the parking mechanisms will not be coordinated.

[0005] This invention was made in view of this purpose, and its object is to provide a track toy in which track discs with parking mechanisms are arranged side by side and can move in conjunction. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following description uses the accompanying drawings to illustrate the track toy of the present invention.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the track disc 10 of the track toy 100 according to this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a bottom view of the track disc 10. The track toy 100 has a track disc 10. The track disc 10 is installed, for example, at a station. The track disc 10 is used to connect with other track discs. Therefore, the track disc 10 has fixed connecting pieces 2a-2n for connecting with other track discs. Among them, fixed connecting pieces 2a and 2d are used to connect other track discs in the direction of travel, fixed connecting pieces 2b, 2c, 2e, and 2f are used to connect other track discs in the lateral direction, and fixed connecting pieces 2g-2n are used to connect other track discs in the longitudinal direction.

[0023] The track panel 10 has a parking mechanism 3 ( Figure 3 The parking mechanism 3 enables the self-propelled toy vehicle 1 to park in a designated location (station) or enables the parked toy vehicle 1 to depart.

[0024] Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a 3D view of parking mechanism 3.

[0025] The parking mechanism 3 has a lifting platform 20 that is capable of being raised and lowered. When the lifting platform 20 rises, it comes into contact with the lower part of the vehicle body by the rise of the vehicle toy 1, causing the driving wheels to float off the ground and become non-grounded, thus stopping the vehicle toy 1. When it descends, it releases the contact, causing the driving wheels of the vehicle toy 1 to ground with the ground and start moving.

[0026] (Operating component 31)

[0027] The lifting platform 20 is configured to rise when the toy vehicle 1 enters the station from a predetermined direction, via the operation of the operating component 31. The operating component 31 is located on the entry side of the station and is equipped with a right-angled triangular protrusion 30 projecting towards the road surface. Figure 5 As shown, the tab 30 is rotatably mounted on the operating member 31 via the shaft 30a within a specified range. A sliding contact portion 32, which is longer in the width direction, is provided at the front end of the tab 30. This sliding contact portion 32 is slidably supported on two support plates 33 that extend parallel to the travel path.

[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, the protrusion 1a located under the body of the toy vehicle 1 abuts against the tab 30. When the toy vehicle 1 enters the station, the protrusion 1a abuts against the tab 30. This presses the tab 30, causing the operating member 31 to move in the direction of travel of the toy vehicle 1. Furthermore, as the operating member 31 moves in a certain direction of travel, the support plate 33 disengages from the sliding contact portion 32, causing the tab 30 to rotate in the pressing direction. The movement of the operating member 31 in the direction of travel then stops, and at the point where the protrusion 1a of the toy vehicle 1 exceeds the tab 30, the operating member 31 returns to its original position (initial position) by the force of the coil spring 34. At this point, the tab 30 protrudes onto the road surface again.

[0029] (Sliding plate 40)

[0030] Additionally, the parking mechanism 3 includes a sliding plate 40 that moves in the driving direction when pressed by the operating member 31. The sliding plate 40 is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in the driving direction of the toy vehicle 1. The first position is the initial position of the sliding plate 40. In the initial position, the lifting platform 20 is in the lowered position.

[0031] (Motion conversion mechanism 50)

[0032] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the parking mechanism 3 has a motion conversion mechanism 50, which is disposed between the sliding plate 40 and the lifting platform 20, and converts the reciprocating motion of the sliding plate 40 into the lifting motion of the lifting platform 20. This motion conversion mechanism 50 can also be a direct-acting cam mechanism that directly converts the reciprocating motion of the sliding plate 40 into the lifting motion of the lifting platform 20. Here, a mechanism is used that converts the reciprocating motion of the sliding plate 40 into the rotational motion of an intermediate component, and then converts the rotational motion of the intermediate component into the lifting motion of the lifting platform 20. As the intermediate component in this case, a shaft 52 with an operating knob 51 attached to one end is provided.

[0033] A first protrusion 53 is provided on the shaft 52 to engage with a locking recess 41 formed on the sliding plate 40, and a second protrusion 54 is provided to press against the lower surface of the lifting platform 20. According to this shaft 52, when the sliding plate 40 moves to the second position, one wall of the locking recess 41 pushes against the first protrusion 53, causing the shaft 52 to rotate in a predetermined direction, and the second protrusion 54 pushes the lifting platform 20 up. At this time, the operating knob 51 is in the "STOP position". On the other hand, when the operating knob 51 is manually operated from the "STOP position" to the "GO position", the second protrusion 54 disengages from the lower surface of the lifting platform 20, the lifting platform 20 descends under its own weight, and the sliding plate 40 returns to the first position by pressing against the other wall of the locking recess 41 by the first protrusion 53.

[0034] (Modible connecting pieces 61 and 62)

[0035] Additionally, the parking mechanism 3 has a movable connecting piece 61 for power transmission between itself and other laterally arranged track panels 10 (see reference). Figure 2 The movable connecting piece 61 and the movable connecting piece 62 have shapes that allow them to be connected to each other. The movable connecting piece 61 can be connected to the movable connecting piece 62 of another track plate 10 arranged side by side on the right, and the movable connecting piece 62 can be connected to the movable connecting piece 61 of another track plate 10 arranged side by side on the left.

[0036] Here, the movable connecting piece 61 will be described. The movable connecting piece 61 is located on the right side of the track plate 10.

[0037] A movable connecting piece 61 is formed on the sliding plate 40. That is, it has the shape of a cylindrical protrusion 63a provided on the protrusion 63 protruding from the right side of the sliding plate 40.

[0038] The movable connecting piece 61 moves in the same direction in conjunction with the sliding plate 40, and the sliding plate 40 also moves in its operating direction through the operation of the movable connecting piece 61.

[0039] On the other hand, regarding the movable connecting piece 62, it is located on the left side of the track plate 10. The middle part of the movable connecting piece 62 is supported by the shaft 64, and a semi-circular cutout 62a at one end engages with the pin 42 of the sliding plate 40. In addition, a semi-circular cutout 62c is provided at the other end of the movable connecting piece 62.

[0040] The movable connecting piece 62 rotates in the opposite direction in conjunction with the movement of the sliding plate 40, and the sliding plate 40 moves in the opposite direction through the rotation of the movable connecting piece 62.

[0041] Therefore, if the track discs 10, 10 with the same parking mechanism 3 are arranged side by side in the transverse direction with the movable connecting pieces 61 and 62 connected, then when the sliding plate 40 of one side moves to the first position side, the sliding plate 40 of the other side moves to the second position side. This means that when the lifting platform 20 of one of the track discs 10, 10 is raised, the lifting platform 20 of the other side is lowered.

[0042] (Modible connecting pieces 71 and 72)

[0043] In addition, the parking mechanism 3 has movable connecting plates 71 and 72 (see reference) for transmitting power between the other longitudinally parallel track panels 10. Figure 2 The movable connecting piece 71 and the movable connecting piece 72 have shapes that allow them to be connected to each other. The movable connecting piece 71 can be connected to the movable connecting pieces 72 of other track plates 10 arranged side by side on the upper side, and the movable connecting piece 72 can be connected to the movable connecting pieces 71 of other track plates 10 arranged side by side on the lower side.

[0044] Here, the movable connecting piece 71 will be described. The movable connecting piece 71 is provided on the support column 70 of the track plate 10 (see reference). Figure 1 )Inside.

[0045] The movable connecting piece 71 extends vertically within the support column 70, with its middle portion rotatably mounted on the support column 70 via a shaft 73, and its lower end engaging with the recess 43 of the sliding plate 40. Additionally, a protrusion 74 is attached to the upper end of the movable connecting piece 71. The movable connecting piece 71 moves in the opposite direction to the sliding plate 40, and the rotation of the movable connecting piece 71 causes the sliding plate 40 to move in the opposite direction.

[0046] On the other hand, a movable connecting piece 72 is disposed below the sliding plate 40. This movable connecting piece 72 is integrally disposed with the movable connecting piece 61. That is, a chamber 76 is formed at the base end of the movable connecting piece 61 to engage with the movable connecting piece 71. The movable connecting piece 72 moves in the same direction in conjunction with the movement of the sliding plate 40, and the sliding plate 40 also moves in its operating direction due to the operation of the movable connecting piece 72.

[0047] Therefore, if the track discs 10, 10 with the same parking mechanism 3 are arranged longitudinally side by side with the movable connecting pieces 71 and 72 connected, when the sliding plate 40 of one side moves to the first position side, the sliding plate 40 of the other side moves to the second position side. This means that when the lifting platform 20 of one of the track discs 10, 10 is raised, the lifting platform 20 of the other side is lowered.

[0048] (action)

[0049] (in the case of horizontal side-by-side arrangement) Figure 7 ))

[0050] For ease of explanation, the left track plate is designated as track plate 10, and the right track plate as track plate 10R. The components of the right track plate and the toy vehicles are also described using the reference numeral "R". The lifting platform 20R of track plate 10R is raised, and the lifting platform 20 of track plate 10 is lowered. In this state, track plates 10 and 10R are connected to each other. The movable connecting piece 61 of track plate 10 is then connected to the movable connecting piece 62R of track plate 10R. Toy vehicles 1 and 1R are then mounted and driven in the same direction on both the track including track plate 10 and the track including track plate 10R.

[0051] First, when the toy vehicle 1R enters the track panel 10R at the station, the toy vehicle 1R stops via the lifting platform 20R. Then, when the toy vehicle 1 enters the track panel 10, the operating part 31 of the track panel 10 moves in the direction of travel, the sliding plate 40 also moves in the direction of travel, the lifting platform 20 rises, and the toy vehicle 1 stops.

[0052] At this time, as the sliding plate 40 moves, the sliding plate 40R of the track disk 10R moves in the opposite direction, the lifting platform 20R descends, and the toy vehicle 1R departs.

[0053] Then, when toy vehicle 1R re-enters the station's track panel 10R, toy vehicle 1R stops via the lifting platform 20R, and this time toy vehicle 1 departs.

[0054] Repeat this action.

[0055] (when set up vertically side by side) Figure 8 )

[0056] For ease of explanation, the lower track plate is designated as track plate 10, and the upper track plate as track plate 10U. The components of the upper track plate and the reference numerals "U" are also added to the accompanying drawings. At this time, the lifting platform 20U of track plate 10U is raised, and the lifting platform 20 of track plate 10 is lowered. In this state, track plates 10 and 10U are connected to each other. At this time, the movable connecting piece 71 of track plate 10 is connected to the movable connecting piece 72U of track plate 10U.

[0057] Furthermore, the toy vehicles 1 and 1U are mounted and driven in the same direction on the track including track disk 10 and the track including track disk 10U.

[0058] First, when the toy vehicle 1U enters the track panel 10U of the station, the toy vehicle 1U stops via the lifting platform 20U. Then, when the toy vehicle 1 enters the track panel 10, the operating part 31 of the track panel 10 moves in the direction of travel, the sliding plate 40 also moves in the direction of travel, the lifting platform 20 rises, and the toy vehicle 1 stops.

[0059] At this time, as the sliding plate 40 moves, the sliding plate 40U of the track plate 10U moves in the opposite direction, the lifting platform 20U descends, and the toy vehicle 1U departs.

[0060] Then, when the toy vehicle 1U re-enters the station's track panel 10U, the toy vehicle 1U is stopped by the lifting platform 20U, and this time the toy vehicle 1 departs.

[0061] Repeat this action.

[0062] (Effects of the implementation method)

[0063] The following effects can be achieved by using the track disk 10 constructed in this way.

[0064] That is, according to the track disk 10 of this embodiment, by arranging the track disks 10 in the same direction longitudinally and / or laterally side by side, the track disks 10, 10 arranged side by side can be linked together.

[0065] (Modified Example)

[0066] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above, but this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Of course, various modifications can be made within the scope of its spirit.

[0067] For example, in the above embodiments, the cases of two track disks 10, 10 arranged side by side in the horizontal direction and two track disks 10, 10 arranged side by side in the vertical direction are described. However, track disks can also be arranged side by side in both the horizontal and vertical directions. In addition, the number of track disks arranged side by side in the same direction is not limited to two.

[0068] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the movable connecting piece 62 is configured to rotate in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the sliding plate 40, causing the sliding plates 40 of the track discs 10, 10 with the same direction of travel to move in opposite directions. That is, when the sliding plate 40 of one track disc 10, 10 moves in the direction of travel, the sliding plate 40 of the other track disc moves in the opposite direction of travel. Moreover, when the lifting platform 20 of one track disc 10, 10 with the same direction of travel rises, the lifting platform 20 of the other track disc 10, 10 falls. However, this invention is also applicable to the case where the track discs 10, 10 are arranged side by side with different directions of travel for the toy vehicle 1.

[0069] In this case, if the movable connecting piece 61 and the movable connecting piece 62 are not formed into different shapes, but into the same shape such as a hook or a comb, then even if the driving directions of the toy vehicle 1 are the same or different, it is possible to configure the track plates 10, 10 to be connected to each other, so that when the lifting platform 20 of one track plate 10 rises, the lifting platform 20 of the other track plate 10, 10 falls. Of course, in this case, the connecting pieces of the fixed connecting parts are also preferably the same shape such as a hook or a comb.

[0070] In addition, in the above embodiments, in order to be able to arrange other track disks 10 side by side or above and below the track disk 10, movable connecting pieces 61 and 62 are provided on one track disk 10. However, it is also possible to provide only movable connecting piece 61 on one side of the track disks 10 arranged side by side, and only movable connecting piece 62 on the other side.

[0071] In addition, in the above embodiment, when the track disks 10 are arranged longitudinally side by side, the track disks 10 are arranged in the same orientation. However, for example, it can also be configured such that movable connecting pieces of the same shape are separately provided on the two pillars on both sides, and movable connecting pieces of the same shape are separately provided on both sides of the lower surface of the track disks 10. When the track disks 10 are arranged side by side in different orientations, when one of the lifting platforms 20 rises, the other lifting platform 20 of the track disks 10 falls.
