Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a toy car. Background Technology

[0002] One type of toy car is the pullback car, also known as an inertia-driven pullback car. Its core gameplay involves pressing down on the car body to build up momentum, then using inertia to propel it forward. Because it's simple and safe to operate, it's especially popular with children. However, most pullback cars on the market today only move in one direction after releasing the pressure, lacking fun and failing to hold children's attention for long.

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application embodiment provides a toy car, including a car body 1, a driving mechanism 2, a support base 3, and a top-shaped shell 4. Wheels 5 are rotatably mounted on the car body 1. The driving mechanism 2 is disposed on the car body 1, and the driving mechanism 2 and the wheels 5 are connected in a transmission manner. The support base 3 is disposed on the top of the car body 1. The support base 3 has a peripheral sidewall 31, which encloses an inner cavity and a top opening communicating with the inner cavity. Notches 3111 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the peripheral sidewall 31. A lower convex shell 41 is provided on the top-shaped shell 4. A convex shaft 411 is provided on opposite sides of the lower convex shell 41. The lower convex shell 41 is inserted into the inner cavity. The two convex shafts 411 are rotatably supported by corresponding notches 3111. The peripheral sidewall 31 restricts the swing angle of the top-shaped shell 4. During the movement of the toy car, the top-shaped shell 4 can swing around the axis of the convex shafts 411.

[0053] The toy car provided in this application features innovative improvements upon the traditional push-pull car design. Its unique top-mounted shell 4 design allows the toy car to swing around the axis of the convex shaft 411 during movement, breaking the limitation of the single forward movement mode of traditional push-pull cars and bringing children a completely new visual experience and playful fun. Children will find the swinging of the top-mounted shell 4 novel and will be more willing to actively explore and operate the toy car, greatly enhancing its fun and playability, and better meeting children's needs for toy diversity and enjoyment.

[0054] In some possible implementations, the width of the notch 3111 gradually increases in the direction from the vehicle body 1 to the top shell 4, and the lower edge of the notch 3111 has an arc-shaped support surface. The wider opening and narrower lower edge of the notch 3111 make it easier for the convex shaft 411 to be inserted into the notch 3111. During the toy car's movement, the arc-shaped support surface can better contact the convex shaft 411, providing stable and smooth support for the swinging of the top shell 4, reducing the occurrence of swinging effects due to friction or jamming, and further improving the stability and reliability of the toy car's operation.

[0055] In some possible embodiments, the convex shaft 411 has a cylindrical wall 4111 and an end face 4112 located at the end of the cylindrical wall 4111. The convex shaft 411 is provided with an inclined surface 4113 extending from the cylindrical wall 4111 to the end face 4112, the inclined surface 4113 being located on the side of the convex shaft 411 opposite to the root of the lower convex shell 41. This design of the inclined surface 4113 has a guiding effect, allowing the convex shaft 411 to enter the notch 3111 more smoothly, reducing resistance during insertion and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, when the top shaped shell 4 swings, the inclined surface 4113 also plays a guiding role, making the swing more stable.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the peripheral sidewall 31 includes two first sidewalls 311 and two second sidewalls 312. The two first sidewalls 311 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the vehicle body 1, and the two second sidewalls 312 are located between the two first sidewalls 311 and connected to the two first sidewalls 311 respectively. The two second sidewalls 312 are spaced apart. The notch 3111 is provided on the first sidewall 311. The two second sidewalls 312 and the lower convex shell 41 are mutually restrictive, limiting the swing range of the top shaped shell 4. The restrictive fit design between the two second sidewalls 312 and the lower convex shell 41 can precisely control the swing range of the top shaped shell 4. It prevents the top shaped shell 4 from swinging too little, resulting in insufficient fun, or from swinging too much, exceeding a reasonable range and affecting the overall stability and structural integrity of the toy car.

[0057] In some possible implementations, a limiting opening 3121 is provided on the second sidewall 312, and the lower convex shell 41 has protruding shafts 411 respectively on both sides along the first direction, and locking protrusions 412 respectively on both sides along the second direction. With the protruding shafts 411 on the lower convex shell 41 supported by the notch 3111, the locking protrusions 412 on the lower convex shell 41 are movably accommodated in the limiting opening 3121. When the top shaped shell 4 swings to its limit position, the locking protrusions 412 abut against the edge of the limiting opening 3121. This design, through the cooperation of the locking protrusions 412 and the limiting opening 3121, further precisely limits the swing limit position of the top shaped shell 4. When the top shaped shell 4 swings to its limit position, the locking protrusions 412 abut against the edge of the limiting opening 3121, thereby preventing the top shaped shell 4 from continuing to swing, avoiding potential damage to the toy car due to excessive swinging, and also ensuring the safety of the toy car during operation. Moreover, this limiting method has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and reduces production costs.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the side of the protrusion 412 facing away from the lower protrusion 41 is provided with an inclined surface 4121, which gradually approaches the surface of the lower protrusion 41 in the direction from the top shaped shell 4 to the vehicle body 1. The inclined surface 4121 has a guiding function, making it easier and less strenuous to position the top shaped shell 4 when it is installed in the support 3.

[0059] In some possible implementations, the top styling shell 4 has a clearance recess 42 on the side facing the vehicle body 1, and a lower convex shell 41 is provided on the bottom wall of the clearance recess 42. A gap exists between the lower convex shell 41 and the peripheral inner wall of the clearance recess 42. The clearance recess 42 not only provides an installation position for the support shaft but also provides a certain amount of space for the top styling shell 4 to swing. This gap prevents the lower convex shell 41 from interfering with other parts of the top styling shell 4 during swinging, ensuring that the top styling shell 4 can swing freely around the convex shaft 411.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the walking drive mechanism 2 is a push-to-return device, which is located inside the vehicle body 1. It has a pressing part 21, an elastic component, and a rotating drive part. Both the pressing part 21 and the rotating drive part are driveably connected to the elastic component. The rotating drive part is driveably connected to the wheel 5. A support seat 3 is movably mounted on the vehicle body 1 and supports the pressing part 21. Under external force, the support seat 3 moves and presses the pressing part 21, causing the elastic component to deform and store energy. When the external force is removed, the elastic component recovers its deformation, driving the rotating drive part to rotate. This push-to-return device cleverly utilizes the deformation and recovery characteristics of the elastic component. When a child applies external force to the support seat 3, the support seat 3 presses the pressing part 21, causing the elastic component to deform and store energy. When the external force is removed, the elastic component recovers its deformation, releasing the stored energy, driving the rotating drive part to rotate, and thus driving the wheel 5 to rotate, making the toy car move forward. This driving method is simple and easy to understand, and convenient to operate. Children can make the toy car move by simply pressing it, which is in line with children's cognitive and operational abilities and increases the fun of playing.

[0061] The push-to-return mechanism is widely used in existing toy cars and is a relatively mature existing technology. The toy car of this application can use the mature push-to-return mechanism in existing toy technology.

[0062] In some possible implementations, the vehicle body 1 has a cavity 11 and an upper opening communicating with the cavity 11, and the walking drive mechanism 2 is disposed within the cavity 11. The support base 3 includes a base plate 32, and a peripheral sidewall 31 is disposed on one side of the base plate 32. The base plate 32 is confined within the cavity 11 and supported by the pressing part 21, and the peripheral sidewall 31 extends through the upper opening.

[0063] This structural design provides ample installation space within the vehicle body 1 for the walking drive mechanism 2, ensuring its stable operation. Simultaneously, the base plate 32 of the support seat 3 is confined within the cavity 11 and supported by the pressing part 21, with the peripheral sidewall 31 extending through the upper opening. This layout ensures effective transmission between the support seat 3 and the pressing part 21, and also establishes a stable connection between the support seat 3 and the vehicle body 1. Furthermore, the peripheral sidewall 31 extending through the upper opening also limits the lifting trajectory of the support seat 3, preventing it from swaying or shifting during toy car operation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the top shell 4's swing.

[0064] In some possible implementations, the top shell 4 has an inner shell 401 and an outer shell 402. The outer shell 402 has a downward-facing open cavity, the inner shell 401 is located inside the open cavity and connected to the outer shell 402, and the lower convex shell 41 is provided on the inner shell 401. The top of the vehicle body 1 is located inside the cavity 11, and there is a gap between the vehicle body 1 and the outer shell 402. The outer shell 402 can cover the connection position between the vehicle body 1 and the top shell 402, making its appearance neater and more beautiful, and also providing a certain degree of protection to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior and affecting the normal operation of the toy car. The existence of the gap has several advantages. First, it can avoid friction or collision between the vehicle body 1 and the outer shell 402 during the movement of the toy car, reducing noise and energy loss caused by friction, making the toy car run more quietly and smoothly. Secondly, the gap provides a certain amount of space for the top shell 4 to swing, ensuring that the top shell 4 is not restricted by the vehicle body 1 when swinging, and can swing freely around the convex axis 411, thereby better showcasing its unique swinging effect and enhancing the fun and playability of the toy car.

[0065] Furthermore, the top shell 4 can be designed in various unique and recognizable shapes, such as the beloved unicorn. This unicorn shape not only attracts attention but also enhances the product's artistic appeal and personalized characteristics, making it stand out among numerous designs.
