Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to magnetic track transportation toys, and more particularly to track docking blocks and magnetic docking track transportation toys. Background Technology

[0002] 3D rail transit toys are three-dimensional, modular toy train track systems formed by connecting several track connecting blocks. Their flexible and versatile structure is highly creative and fun. While playing, children can use their imagination and hands-on skills to freely combine track connecting blocks of different shapes, such as straight tracks, curved tracks, spiral tracks, and ramp tracks, to build various 3D track models, ranging from simple circular tracks to complex multi-level interchange structures. Currently, the connection between track connecting blocks of different shapes is mainly achieved through magnetic attraction technology. This design is not only simple to operate and provides a stable connection, but also effectively improves assembly efficiency and user experience. Each track connecting block has N-level and S-level magnetic attraction surfaces at both ends. Utilizing the principle of opposite poles attracting, the modules can quickly attract and fix each other, making it convenient for children to repeatedly assemble and disassemble.

[0003] When constructing a three-dimensional track, situations often arise where assembly is impossible due to magnetic repulsion. (See attached...) Figure 14 As shown, if a "circular arc" track docking block needs to be connected, and this "circular arc" track docking block is required to be laid in a left-turning position, a problem arises: because the docking surface of the "straight" track docking block at the end is an N-pole magnetic attraction surface, and the docking surface of the left-turning "circular arc" track docking block is also an N-pole magnetic attraction surface, according to the principle that like poles repel each other, a significant repulsive force will be generated between the two, making magnetic docking impossible. This phenomenon exposes a flaw in the current product design. Therefore, it is evident that current 3D track transportation toys cannot achieve free docking of any two track docking blocks. Users are still limited by the magnetic pole direction during actual assembly, making it difficult to fully unleash their creativity and freely combine track shapes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide track docking blocks and magnetic docking track transportation toys.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a track docking block, comprising a main body component and a guide rail component, wherein the guide rail component is fixedly installed on the main body component, the main body component has at least two contact surfaces for docking with other track docking blocks, each contact surface having an internal cavity for housing a disc magnet, the internal cavity being located at the center of the contact surface, the internal cavity having an inclined portion, the two sides of the disc magnet being N-pole and S-pole respectively, and the disc magnet being able to freely flip within the internal cavity by means of the inclined portion.

[0006] To elaborate further, the inclined portion is located on the inner wall of the built-in cavity away from the contact surface.

[0007] To further elaborate, the built-in cavity is provided with a support portion for supporting the disc-shaped magnet. The support portion is cross-shaped, and the inclined portion is located at the support portion.

[0008] To elaborate further, the contact surface is provided with a protruding foot and a recessed part. When the two track docking blocks are docked, the protruding foot of one track docking block is engaged into the recessed part of the other track docking block.

[0009] To further elaborate, the two protruding feet are respectively located at one set of opposite corners of the contact surface, the two recessed parts are respectively located at another set of opposite corners of the contact surface, and the internal cavity is located at the intersection of the line connecting the two protruding feet and the line connecting the two recessed parts.

[0010] To elaborate further, the main component includes a first housing and a second housing that are connected to each other. Both the first housing and the second housing are provided with slots for locking the wing plates on both sides of the guide rail component. The guide rail component is engaged between the first housing and the second housing.

[0011] To elaborate further, the two contact surfaces can be perpendicular to each other.

[0012] To elaborate further, the guide rail component can be in the shape of a straight line, a cross, an arc, a convex slope, or a concave slope.

[0013] A magnetic docking rail transit toy, based on the aforementioned track docking blocks, includes a toy car and a three-dimensional transportation track that can be assembled from several track docking blocks, and the toy car can move along the three-dimensional transportation track.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has an internal cavity for housing a disc magnet inside each contact surface. The internal cavity has an inclined part. The disc magnet can be freely flipped inside the internal cavity with the help of the inclined part. When any two track docking blocks are close to each other, the disc magnets in their contact surfaces will automatically flip into magnetic poles that can attract each other with the help of the inclined part, thereby realizing that any two track docking blocks can be freely docked, effectively overcoming the defects of existing three-dimensional track transportation toys.
