Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy car technology, and in particular to a wheel and a wheel light-emitting structure. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance the aesthetics and fun of toy cars, some toy car wheels are designed to light up. Current toy car wheel lighting solutions typically involve embedding a self-generating motor and LEDs within a transparent rubber wheel. The motor powers the LEDs, and when lit, the wiring shines through the transparent or semi-transparent wheel. Alternatively, the LEDs are positioned on the outside of the wheel hub, powered by the toy car's battery, thus illuminating the wheel. However, these wheel lighting solutions suffer from poor lighting effects, failing to create specific patterns and exhibiting strong diffused illumination. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wheel and a wheel light-emitting structure that can achieve a patterned light-emitting method.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a wheel, which includes a wheel body and at least one light-shielding component. The wheel body is made of a light-transmitting material, and all the light-shielding components are fitted around the outside of the wheel body and connected to the wheel body. Some or all of the light-shielding components are provided with a plurality of perforated holes for exposing parts of the wheel body.

[0005] With the above-described design, a light source only needs to be placed in or near the wheel body. Light passes through the wheel body and shines out through the perforated holes. By arranging the perforations in a pattern, a luminous pattern can be seen on the outside of the wheel. Furthermore, due to the non-perforated area of ​​the light-shielding component, the luminous pattern is clearly visible, significantly enhancing the visual appeal and fun of toy cars using this wheel. In addition, the wheel has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is low in cost.

[0006] Preferably, some or all of the light-shielding components are engaged with the wheel body for positioning. This arrangement ensures the positional stability of the light-shielding components and also improves their connection stability.

[0007] Preferably, the wheel body is provided with a first limiting member that corresponds to and fits one-to-one with the hollow holes. The first limiting member is light-transmitting and is inserted into the hollow holes. Alternatively, some or all of the light-shielding members are provided with a second limiting member, and the wheel body is provided with a third limiting member that corresponds to and fits one-to-one with the second limiting member. The first limiting member can fill the hollow holes to a certain extent. From the outside of the wheel, the first limiting member becomes a light-emitting point, which can improve the clarity of the light-emitting pattern and simplify the structure of the light-shielding member. The number of the second and third limiting members can be set as needed, making the setting more flexible and not limited by the number of hollow holes.

[0008] Preferably, the first limiting member does not protrude from the hollow hole. This arrangement can better ensure the clarity of the luminous pattern.

[0009] Preferably, on the light-shielding member, at least the edge of the perforated hole is in contact with the wheel body. This arrangement can better ensure the clarity of the luminous pattern.

[0010] Preferably, the light-shielding component is molded onto the wheel body using an overmolding process. This design simplifies wheel manufacturing, reduces costs, and improves structural stability.

[0011] Preferably, the wheel body has a bowl-shaped structure; or, the wheel body has a hollow structure and a sealed inner cavity. The bowl-shaped wheel body is suitable for land travel and has a simple structure with lower manufacturing costs. The hollow wheel body is suitable for both land and water travel and offers relatively high support strength.

[0012] Preferably, the wheel body is a hollow structure; a plurality of blades are provided on the light-shielding members located on the inner and / or outer sides of the wheel body, and the blades are evenly distributed circumferentially on their corresponding light-shielding members; the blades do not extend beyond the wheel surface of the wheel body. By providing blades, the wheel can move better on water.

[0013] Preferably, the wheel body has a rubber band on its surface. The rubber band allows the wheel to move more smoothly on land.

[0014] This utility model also discloses a toy car, which includes a body, a light-emitting element, and the aforementioned wheels. The wheel body is connected to the axle of the body. Some or all of the light-shielding elements form a light-blocking cover, or a light-blocking ring is provided on the light-shielding element near the body. The inner cavity of the light-blocking cover or light-blocking ring cooperates with the hollow hole to form a light channel. The light-emitting element is disposed on the side of the body, and the light-emitting element is close to or extends into the light channel. With this arrangement, the light emitted by the light-emitting element can better pass through the hollow hole, which can ensure that the light-emitting pattern of the toy car's wheels is bright and clear, and also facilitates assembly and protection of the light-emitting element.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention allows light emitted from the light-emitting component to pass through the perforated holes. By arranging the perforations in a pattern, a luminous pattern can be seen on the outside of the wheel. Moreover, due to the non-perforated area of ​​the light-shielding component, the luminous pattern is highlighted and clearly visible, significantly enhancing the toy car's visual appeal and entertainment value. Furthermore, the wheel's structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and inexpensive. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a toy car, which includes a body 10, a light-emitting element 20, and wheels. The light-emitting element 20 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the wheels, and the wheels (specifically, wheel bodies 31) are connected to the axle 11 of the body 10. This invention mainly focuses on the design of the light-emitting method of the toy car wheels, as detailed below.

[0034] The wheel described in this embodiment includes a wheel body 31 and two light-shielding components 32. The wheel body 31 has a hollow structure and a sealed inner cavity, giving it good buoyancy and allowing it to float on water. This allows the toy car to be designed for water-based or amphibious operation. Furthermore, this structure provides relatively high structural strength and reduces the likelihood of deformation. The wheel body 31 in this embodiment can be a single piece or assembled from separate parts. The wheel body is made of a light-transmitting material.

[0035] The light-shielding components 32 are made of opaque material and are respectively disposed on the inner and outer sides of the wheel body 31. All the light-shielding components 32 fit together and wrap around the outside of the wheel body 31, connecting the light-shielding components 32 to the wheel body 31 to prevent the light-shielding components 32 from loosening or falling off. Specifically, to prevent the light-shielding components 32 from rotating, each of the two light-shielding components 32 is provided with three second limiting components 33 (protruding posts). The wheel body 31 is provided with third limiting components 34 (limiting blind holes) that correspond one-to-one with the second limiting components 33 and limit their engagement. The second limiting components 33 are inserted into the third limiting components 34, thereby limiting the light-shielding components 32. In this embodiment, the light-shielding component 32 located on the outside of the wheel body 31 is fastened by screws threaded to the wheel axle 11 of the vehicle body 10, while the other light-shielding component 32 is axially limited by the engagement of the wheel body 31 with the vehicle body 10. Of course, the light-shielding components 32 can also be reinforced once or multiple times by means such as snap-fit ​​connection or adhesive bonding.

[0036] To ensure the wheel can reliably travel on water, a plurality of blades 35 are provided on the light-shielding members 32 located on the inner and / or outer sides of the wheel body 31. The blades 35 are evenly distributed circumferentially on their corresponding light-shielding members 32, and the blades 35 do not extend beyond the wheel surface of the wheel body 31 to avoid interfering with the wheel's movement on land. To ensure the strength of the blades 35, the light-shielding members 32 are made of a rigid material in this embodiment. In addition, to enable the wheel to travel better on land, a rubber strip 36 is provided on the wheel surface of the wheel body 31. The outer surface of the rubber strip 36 may be provided with raised or recessed textures to prevent slippage. In this embodiment, the rubber strip 36 is opaque and can also be regarded as a light-shielding member 32. The inner surface of the rubber strip 36 may be glued to or limit the wheel surface of the wheel body 31 (for example, transverse protrusions are provided on both the inner surface of the rubber strip 36 and the wheel surface of the wheel body 31, and the transverse protrusions abut against each other to achieve limiting), so as to ensure that the wheel rolls smoothly on land.

[0037] At least a plurality of perforated holes 37 are provided on the light-shielding member 32 located on the outer side of the wheel body 31 to expose parts of the wheel body 31. In this embodiment, perforated holes 37 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the light-shielding member 32 of the wheel body 31. In this embodiment, the perforated holes 37 are arranged radially to form a snowflake-shaped pattern. When the inner cavity of the wheel body 31 is lit by the light-emitting member 20, light shines through the perforated holes 37, and a clear snowflake-shaped luminous pattern can be seen from the outside of the wheel. Of course, the perforated holes 37 can also be combined into other shapes, such as a star shape or a cross shape. On the light-shielding member 32, at least the area along the perforation of the perforated holes 37 is in close contact with the wheel body 31 to better ensure the clarity of the luminous pattern. Preferably, the entire light-shielding member 32 is in close contact with the wheel body 31, so that there is no gap or the gap between the light-shielding member 32 and the wheel body 31 is very small, and it is not easy for dust or other debris to accumulate.

[0038] To highlight the luminous pattern and allow the light emitted by the luminous element 20 to better pass through the perforated hole 37, a light-blocking ring 38 is provided on the light-blocking element 32 (i.e., the light-blocking element 32 located inside the wheel body 31) near the vehicle body 10. The inner cavity of the light-blocking ring 38 cooperates with the perforated hole 37 to form a light channel. The luminous element 20 is located on the side of the vehicle body 10 and near the axle 11. After the wheel is connected to the axle 11, the luminous element 20 approaches or extends into the light channel. Of course, a light-blocking ring 12 corresponding to each wheel is also provided on the vehicle body 10. The luminous element 20 is placed in the light-blocking ring 12, and the light-blocking ring 12 blocks the entrance of the light channel (i.e., the light-blocking ring 38) as much as possible, so that the light emitted by the luminous element 20 passes through the perforated hole 37 as much as possible.

[0039] In this embodiment, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 20 passes through the wheel body 31 and shines through the perforated holes 37. By simply arranging the perforated holes 37 in a pattern, a luminous pattern can be seen on the outside of the wheel. Furthermore, due to the non-perforated area of ​​the light-shielding element 32, the luminous pattern is clearly visible, significantly enhancing the toy car's visual appeal and entertainment value. In addition, the wheel's structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and low in cost. With the light-emitting element 20 located on the body 10, assembly of the toy car is more convenient, and the light-emitting element 20 is less prone to damage.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the modification of the wheel structure, specifically as follows: Figure 6-10 As shown. In this embodiment, the wheel body 31 has a bowl-shaped structure with the opening facing the vehicle body 10. The wheel body 31 is directly inserted into the axle 11. Because the bowl-shaped structure does not have a closed inner cavity, this wheel is more suitable for land travel. Correspondingly, the wheel in this embodiment does not have a paddle blade 35. In this embodiment, only one light-shielding member 32 is provided, which is formed on the wheel body 31 by overmolding. In this embodiment, the light-shielding member 32 can be used as a rubber belt 36. The wheel of this embodiment is simpler to manufacture, has lower cost, and better structural stability.

[0042] In addition, this embodiment does not include a second limiting member 33 and a third limiting member 34. Instead, a first limiting member 39 is provided on the wheel body 31, corresponding to and adapted to the hollowed-out holes 37. Preferably, the first limiting member 39 is integrally formed with the wheel body 31. The first limiting member 39 is light-transmitting and is inserted into the hollowed-out holes 37 without protruding. The first limiting member 39 can fill the hollowed-out holes 37 to a certain extent. From the outside of the wheel, the first limiting member 39 becomes a light-emitting point, which can improve the clarity of the light-emitting pattern and simplify the structure of the light-shielding member 32.

[0043] In this embodiment, there is only one light-shielding member 32, which is wrapped around the outside of the bowl-shaped wheel body 31. At this time, the light-shielding member 32 constitutes a light shield, and the inner cavity of the light shield and the hollow hole 37 cooperate to form a light channel.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
