Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of model technology, and in particular to a track assembly structure for a train model. Background Technology
[0002] Most model trains use a DC dual-rail power supply. The tracks are made of metal, and the train's power comes from a controller. The controller's current is connected to the two metal tracks through two wires with different electrodes. The two metal tracks must be kept insulated from each other; otherwise, it will cause a short circuit in the controller circuit. Furthermore, the two metal tracks are connected to the wheels on both sides of the model train via contact points. The wheels are connected to the two poles of the locomotive motor through conductive plates, thus driving the model train.
[0003] Toy train models use metal tracks to power the motors on the train body. The tracks are mounted on a base and connected to a controller power supply, converting 220V to 12-16V before energizing the tracks. Existing toy models integrate the tracks and sleepers into a single structure, resulting in low simulation and failing to replicate the detachable structure of real train tracks and sleepers. Furthermore, the power supply to the tracks is typically achieved by soldering wires to the tracks, which is easily damaged during installation and transport, requiring resoldering.
[0004] In addition, when the operator places the model train on the track, it is usually difficult to quickly align the wheels with the track because the axial rotation of the bogies of the model train wheels is very flexible. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing train model track structure design has low simulation degree and the power connection structure is easily damaged. This utility model provides a track mounting base with high simulation degree.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A track mounting base for a train model is composed of multiple segmented bases. Each segmented base has a simulated sleeper for mounting the track. The ends of adjacent segmented bases are connected by tenons 1 and mortises. Two electrode mounting slots 2 are provided on the track mounting base at regular intervals.
[0008] There is an upper rail parking area 3 on the rail mounting base. The upper rail parking area 3 consists of guardrails on both sides and a guide platform in the middle. The rail mounting groove is between the guardrails and the guide platform.
[0009] Between the two guard platforms and the guide platform are two hollowed-out track mounting slots, and there are outward-extending track brackets 31 on both sides of the bottom of the guide platform.
[0010] The guide platform of the upper rail parking lot 3 has cone-shaped ends.
[0011] The upper surface of the upper rail parking area 3 is higher than the lower bottom surface of the rail but lower than the upper surface of the rail.
[0012] Both ends of the segmental base have tenons and mortises.
[0013] The simulated sleeper is integrally molded with track mounting grooves and simulated track bolts.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The structure of the two tracks and the track base is separated, making it more similar to the structure of a real train track. The track base is connected in multiple stages, and the structure can be lengthened as needed.
[0016] 2. Electrode mounting slots are designed between the sleepers on the track base, allowing electrodes to be inserted into the bottom of the track to achieve conductivity.
[0017] 3. A specially designed upper rail parking area allows for the quick assembly of locomotive or vehicle models' wheels and tracks. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example:
[0023] The train model's track mounting base is composed of multiple segmented bases. Each segmented base has simulated sleepers for mounting the tracks. The simulated sleepers have integrated track mounting slots and simulated track bolts. The track mounting slots are hollow structures, and the track's cross-section is an I-beam shape designed to mimic a real railway track. The tracks can be inserted into the track mounting slots one by one, starting from one end of the segmented base. The ends of adjacent segmented bases are connected by a tenon and a mortise. Each end of a segmented base has a tenon and a mortise.
[0024] Two electrode mounting slots 2 are set at regular intervals on the track mounting base. The electrode mounting slots 2 are located between two adjacent simulated sleepers. The electrodes are sheet-shaped and have spring clips. After the electrodes are inserted into the electrode mounting slots 2, the spring clips press against the track to achieve conductivity. The positions of the spring clips on the positive and negative electrodes are different, corresponding to different guide rails.
[0025] One section of the base has an upper rail parking platform 3, which consists of side guards and a central guide platform. The upper surface of the upper rail parking platform 3 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the track. Between the two guards and the guide platform are two hollowed-out track mounting grooves. Track brackets 31 extend outwards from both sides of the bottom of the guide platform. The guide platform of the upper rail parking platform 3 has tapered ends. The main purpose of the upper rail parking platform 3 is to allow the train model operator to quickly align the wheels with the track when placing the train model on the track, as the axial rotation of the train model's wheel bogies is very flexible. The upper rail parking platform allows the train model to be placed on it and guided by the grooves, enabling the wheels to quickly align with the track.
