Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toy car technology, specifically relating to a toy car with a shooting function. Background Technology
[0002] Many children are fascinated by toy cars and games. The toy cars currently on the market exhibit a high degree of diversity and creativity in design. They come in various shapes, such as fun dump trucks and track cars, and cover a wide range of modes of transportation, including cars, trucks, buses, and trains, fully satisfying children's curiosity and desire to explore different modes of transport. Functionally, toy cars have evolved from simple hand-pushed vehicles to mechanically powered, electrically driven vehicles, and even transformable forms. These creative toy cars not only accompany children throughout their growth but also serve as a medium for early education, stimulating children's initial understanding and exploration of the principles of physics and motion.
[0003] However, despite the significant achievements of existing toy cars in terms of movement and shape transformation, their entertainment functions remain relatively limited, mainly focusing on basic control actions such as moving forward, turning left, turning right, moving backward, and stopping. Although some products have added music and indicator light effects, which are very popular with children and even adults, there is still considerable room for improvement in enhancing the fun of toy cars.
[0004] Therefore, in order to further enhance the entertainment value of toy cars, we propose a toy car with a shooting function to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A toy car with a shooting function includes a toy car frame, a walking mechanism, a shooting mechanism, a control component, and a power supply compartment. The walking mechanism is located at the bottom of the toy car frame, while the shooting mechanism, control component, and power supply compartment are all located on the top surface of the toy car frame. The shooting mechanism includes a mounting shell, a filling cylinder, and a firing assembly. The mounting shell is connected to the top surface of the toy car frame, and the filling cylinder is connected to the front end of the mounting shell. The top of the filling cylinder is open, and multiple ejector plates are provided inside the filling cylinder. A firing port for the ejector plates to pass through is provided at the front end of the bottom of the filling cylinder. The firing assembly is located inside the mounting shell and is used to fire the ejector plates inside the filling cylinder. The control component contains a controller and a signal receiver, and the walking mechanism, firing assembly, power supply compartment, and signal receiver are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0008] In a further technical solution, the firing assembly includes a firing rod, a spring, and a firing generator. The mounting housing has a compression chamber and a firing chamber inside. The firing chamber is located in front of the compression chamber and communicates with the filling cylinder. The front end of the firing rod is located inside the firing chamber, and the tail end of the firing rod is slidably mounted inside the compression chamber. The tail end of the firing rod is provided with a positioning plate. A limiting block is provided between the compression chamber and the firing chamber to restrict the sliding out of the positioning plate. The spring is disposed in the compression chamber, and both ends of the spring abut against the inner walls of the tail end of the firing rod and the tail end of the mounting housing, respectively. The firing generator is disposed on the mounting housing. The output shaft of the firing generator extends into the mounting housing and is connected to a loading shaft by gear meshing. A toothed gear is fixedly sleeved on the loading shaft. The firing rod is provided with a rack that meshes with the toothed gear. The firing generator is electrically connected to a controller.
[0009] In a further technical solution, the walking mechanism includes four sets of walking drive components, which are respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the toy car frame, and Mecanum wheels are driven to the outer side of each walking drive mechanism.
[0010] In a further technical solution, the walking drive assembly includes a power box, a rotating shaft, and a walking drive motor.

[0024] See Figures 1-3 To enhance the fun of toy cars, this utility model provides a toy car with a shooting function, including a toy car frame 1, a walking mechanism, a shooting mechanism, a control component 2, and a power supply compartment 3. The walking mechanism is located at the bottom of the toy car frame 1, and the shooting mechanism, control component 2, and power supply compartment 3 are all located on the top surface of the toy car frame 1. The shooting mechanism includes a mounting shell 4, a filling cylinder 5, and a firing assembly. The mounting shell 4 is connected to the top surface of the toy car frame 1, and the filling cylinder 5 is connected to the front end of the mounting shell 4. The top of the filling cylinder 5 is open, and multiple ejector plates 6 are provided inside the filling cylinder 5. A firing port 7 for the ejector plates 6 to pass through is provided at the front end of the bottom of the filling cylinder 5. The firing assembly is located inside the mounting shell 4 and is used to fire the ejector plates 6 inside the filling cylinder 5. The control component 2 has a controller and a signal receiver inside, and the walking mechanism, firing assembly, power supply compartment 3, and signal receiver are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0025] This toy car with shooting function consists of a toy car frame 1, a walking mechanism, a shooting mechanism, a control component 2, and a power supply compartment 3. Each component performs its own function, as detailed below:
[0026] Walking mechanism: Located at the bottom of the toy car frame 1, it can drive the toy car to move forward, backward, turn left, turn right, etc., thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the toy car;
[0027] Shooting mechanism: Located on the top surface of the toy car frame 1, the projectile 6 is loaded through the filling cylinder 5, and the firing assembly pushes the projectile 6 out of the launching port 7 at a certain speed and angle, adding shooting fun to the toy car;
[0028] Control component 2: Through the cooperation of the controller and the signal receiver, the signal receiver receives and transmits remote control signals, while the controller issues commands to the walking mechanism and the firing component based on these remote control signals to achieve operation, thereby controlling the movement of the toy car and the launch of the catapult 6;
[0029] Power supply compartment 3: Provides power to the entire toy car, ensuring the proper functioning of the walking mechanism, shooting mechanism, and control components 2.
[0030] Compared to traditional toy cars, this invention adds a shooting function. This design not only provides children with more diverse ways to play and greater interactivity, but also greatly enhances the fun and entertainment experience of the toy car. At the same time, the addition of the shooting function can stimulate children's interest and desire to explore physical principles and laws of motion, allowing them to gain knowledge while playing. This achieves a perfect combination of entertainment and education, and is likely to demonstrate strong competitiveness and appeal in the market, satisfying the entertainment needs and expectations of more children.
[0031] In one specific implementation, see Figure 2 The firing assembly includes a firing rod 8, a spring 9, and a firing generator 10. The mounting housing 4 has a compression chamber 11 and a firing chamber 12 inside. The firing chamber 12 is located in front of the compression chamber 11 and communicates with the filling cylinder 5. The front end of the firing rod 8 is located inside the firing chamber 12, and the tail end of the firing rod 8 is slidably mounted inside the compression chamber 11. The tail end of the firing rod 8 is provided with a positioning plate 13. A limiting block 14 is provided between the compression chamber 11 and the firing chamber 12 to restrict the sliding of the positioning plate 13. The spring 9 is disposed in the compression chamber 11. The two ends of the spring 9 abut against the inner wall of the tail of the firing rod 8 and the tail of the mounting shell 4, respectively. The generator 10 is disposed on the mounting shell 4. The output shaft of the generator 10 extends into the mounting shell 4 and is connected to the loading shaft 15 by gear meshing. A toothed gear 16 is fixedly sleeved on the loading shaft 15. The firing rod 8 is provided with a rack 17 that cooperates with the toothed gear 16. The generator 10 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0032] The firing assembly, as the core component of the firing mechanism, mainly includes the firing lever 8, the spring 9, and the firing generator 10. Through a series of mechanical actions, it efficiently ejects the ejector piece 6 from the filling cylinder 5, realizing the shooting function of the toy car. Specifically, when the firing generator 10 receives the operating command from the controller, it immediately starts operating, driving the loading shaft 15 to rotate through gear meshing. The toothed gear 16 rotates along with the loading shaft 15. When the toothed part of the toothed gear 16 meshes with the rack 17 on the firing lever 8, it pushes the firing lever 8 to move backward and compresses the spring 9, accumulating energy for the subsequent firing action. Simultaneously, as the firing lever 8 moves backward, the ejector plate 6 inside the filling cylinder 5 also moves downward due to the lack of support from the firing lever 8. When the toothless part of the missing-tooth gear 16 rotates to the position of the rack 17, the two no longer mesh. The previously compressed spring 9 quickly releases its stored energy, propelling the firing lever 8 forward at extremely high speed, thereby pushing the ejector plate 6 at the bottom of the filling cylinder 5 forward at a relatively fast speed, achieving firing. During firing, a periodic meshing and disengaging action is formed between the missing-tooth gear 16 and the rack 17 on the firing lever 8. This mechanism realizes the continuous execution of the "charge-release" cycle, enabling the firing assembly to stably achieve the function of continuously firing the ejector plate 6, greatly improving the shooting efficiency and fun of the toy car, and bringing a more exciting and diverse gaming experience to children.
[0033] In one specific implementation, see Figure 1 The walking mechanism includes four sets of walking drive components, which are respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the toy car frame 1. Mecanum wheels 18 are connected to the outer side of each walking drive mechanism.
[0034] In this shooting-functional toy car, the Mecanum wheels 18 at each of the four corners of the frame 1 are independently controlled by the drive mechanism. This design is the core mechanism for the toy car to switch between diverse movement modes. Specifically, the Mecanum wheel 18 is an omnidirectional wheel with a special tread structure. Its unique feature is that many small rollers are evenly distributed on its tread, and these rollers are tilted at a 45° angle. When adjusting the position of the toy car, it is only necessary to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels to achieve flexible movement in various directions such as forward, backward, lateral translation, and rotation in place. This flexibility not only improves the toy car's handling performance but also brings a richer gaming experience and more fun to children.
[0035] In one specific implementation, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The walking drive assembly includes a power housing 19, a rotating shaft 20, and a walking drive motor 21. The power housing 19 is installed at the bottom of the toy car frame 1. The rotating shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the outside of the power housing 19. The Mecanum wheel 18 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft. The walking drive motor 21 is located inside the power housing 19 and is connected to the rotating shaft 20 through gear meshing. The walking drive motor 21 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0036] The drive assembly is the key component of the toy car's movement system. It consists of a power housing 19, a rotating shaft 20, and a drive motor 21. The drive motor 21 is built into the power housing 19 and is connected to the rotating shaft 20 through a gear meshing mechanism, ensuring precise power transmission and accurate control. This, in turn, stably drives the Mecanum wheel 18, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 20, enabling the toy car to perform various movement actions with extremely high precision, thus improving handling performance and the gaming experience.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the toy car frame 1, the walking mechanism, the shooting mechanism, the control component 2, and the power supply compartment 3 are all assembled using LEGO models.
[0038] The toy car frame 1, walking mechanism, shooting mechanism, control components 2, and power compartment 3 utilize LEGO standard interface design, giving the toy car expandability. This means children can freely combine and customize the various parts of the toy car according to their own preferences and needs, and can even add new modules. Furthermore, the assembly process can develop children's hands-on skills and stimulate their innovative thinking. By assembling the toy car, they can learn about basic knowledge such as mechanical structures and electronic controls, cultivating an interest in science and technology. This is not only a form of entertainment but also an excellent way to learn.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, the filling cylinder 5 is equipped with an infrared sight.
[0040] The infrared emitter projects an aiming dot onto the filling cylinder 5. Users can adjust the shooting direction by the position of the dot, simulating the aiming process of shooting and enhancing the entertainment experience.
