Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy car technology, specifically a foldable and storage toy car. Background Technology
[0002] Toy cars, as classic toys in children's development, have long been favored by the market. Traditional toy cars usually adopt a fixed integrated structure or a simple modular assembly design. While they have a certain degree of fun, they still have significant shortcomings in actual use and urgently need optimization: The contradiction between structural stability and ease of storage is prominent. Toy cars with simplified connection methods (such as pure snap-fit or magnetic attachment), although easy to assemble and disassemble, often suffer from insufficient connection strength, leading to parts accidentally loosening or interfaces breaking during play (such as snap-fit failure due to frequent plugging and unplugging), resulting in poor durability. They also lack functionality, expandability, and fun: most products lack customization options, have fixed appearances, and children easily lose interest. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a foldable toy car that overcomes the shortcomings described in the background art.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A folding and storage toy car includes a carriage and a base. The carriage is divided into a left carriage and a right carriage.

[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a folding and storage toy car, including a carriage 1 and a base 2. The carriage 1 is divided into a left carriage 11 and a right carriage 12. The left carriage 11 is connected to the right carriage 12 through a hinge structure 3. Several first connecting holes 13 are provided through the bottom of the left carriage 11 and the right carriage 12. The base 2 is provided with first screws 14 that connect and cooperate with the first connecting holes 13, so that the base 2 and the carriage 1 are assembled and connected. The left carriage 11 and the right carriage 12 can be opened outward after being separated from the base 2. The base 2 is divided into a first base 21 and a second base 22. The first base 21 is spliced to the second base 22 through connecting blocks 23. Several connecting blocks 4 are provided on the first base 21 and the second base 22. Adjacent connecting blocks 4 are fastened together by second screws 41. Wheels 24 are symmetrically installed on the first base 21 and the second base 22.
[0039] A second connecting hole 5 is provided on the side end of the base 2, and a third connecting hole 6 is provided through the connecting plug 23. After the first base 21 and the second base 22 are connected and fitted, the reinforcing screw 7 is screwed into the second connecting hole 5 and the third connecting hole 6 in sequence. The first screw 14, the second screw 41, and the reinforcing screw 7 all include a threaded rod 71 and a tightening head 72. The tightening head 72 is welded to the threaded rod 71, and the radius of the tightening head 72 is larger than the radius of the threaded rod 71. The tightening head 72 has a cylindrical structure, and its surface is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0040] The hinge structure 3 includes a first base 31, a second base 32, and a hinge rod 33. The first base 31 and the second base 32 are mated together, and the hinge rod 33 is sequentially inserted into the center of the first base 31 and the second base 32. The hinge rod 33 is a cylindrical structure, and the outer surface of the hinge rod 33 is clearance-fitted with the inner surfaces of the first base 31 and the second base 32. A limiting part 331 is provided at the end of the hinge rod 33.
[0041] Wheel 24 is mounted to base 2 via a rotating shaft, with the rotating shaft and base 2 having a clearance fit. Several decorative positions are provided on the carriage 1, and decorative modules are nested in the decorative positions. The decorative module is a transparent windshield 8, which is divided into two parts and is spliced to the left carriage 11 and the right carriage 12 respectively.
[0042] The folding toy car in this embodiment is described in its unfolding configuration. It includes a split-type carriage 1 structure, consisting of a left carriage 11 and a right carriage 12 connected by a hinge structure 3. The hinge structure 3 includes: a first base 31 fixed to the inside of the left carriage 11; and a second base 32 fixed to the inside of the right carriage 12, which matches the shape of the first base 31 for docking. A hinge rod 33 is a cylindrical structure, sequentially inserted into the central holes of the first base 31 and the second base 32. A limiting part 331 (such as a head expansion or a latch) located at the end of the hinge rod 33 prevents the hinge rod 33 from accidentally detaching from the base. The engagement method is that the outer surface of the hinge rod 33 is clearance-fitted with the inner hole surfaces of the first base 31 and the second base 32, ensuring that the carriage 1 can rotate smoothly (fold / unfold) around the hinge rod 33 while maintaining a stable connection.
[0043] Both the left and right carriages 12 have several first connecting holes 13 at their bottom ends, facilitating the connection of the carriage 1 as a whole to the base 2. The base 2 adopts a modular structure, consisting of a first base 21 and a second base 22. The main connection method involves using a connecting block 23, which is located at the end of one of the bases (such as the first base 21). The connecting block 23 is inserted into the corresponding slot of the other base (such as the second base 22) to achieve initial positioning and connection.
[0044] Strengthening the fixing method: Several connecting blocks 4 are provided on the edges of the first base 21 and the second base 22. The connecting blocks 4 on adjacent bases are tightened and fixed by second screws 41 to provide the main connection strength. The side end of the vehicle base 2 (usually near the splice seam) is provided with a second connecting hole 5, and a third connecting hole 6 is provided through the connecting plug 23. After the first base 21 and the second base 22 are initially spliced by the connecting plug 23, the reinforcing screws 7 are used to pass through the second connecting hole 5 and the third connecting hole 6 in sequence and tighten them to further strengthen the splice seam and prevent the base from separating or misaligning under force.
[0045] Wheels 24 are symmetrically installed on the first base 21 and the second base 22. The wheels 24 are installed via a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft and the mounting hole of the base 2 are clearance fit to ensure that the wheels 24 rotate smoothly.
[0046] The carriage 1 is connected to the base by the first screw 14. The first screw 14 passes through the base 2 (the specific position corresponds to the first connecting hole 13 of the carriage 1) and is screwed into the first connecting hole 13 at the bottom of the carriage 1, thus fixing the carriage 1 to the base 2.
[0047] The first screw 14, the second screw 41, and the reinforcing screw 7 all include a threaded rod 71 and a tightening head 72. The radius of the tightening head 72 is larger than the radius of the threaded rod 71, which facilitates manual operation and provides sufficient tightening force. The tightening head 72 has a cylindrical structure and its surface is machined with anti-slip textures (such as knurling), which significantly increases friction and makes it easy for children or users to tighten with their fingers or simple tools.
[0048] Several decorative slots (such as recesses and snap-fits) are reserved on carriage 1 (left and right carriages 12). Decorative modules can be nested and installed on these decorative slots; in this example, the transparent windshield component 8 is used. Installation method: The transparent windshield component 8 itself is also divided into two parts, which are nested and installed on the designated decorative slots of the left carriage 11 and the right carriage 12, respectively. When carriage 1 is closed, the two windshield components are joined together in the middle to form a complete windshield shape.
[0049] The base 2 uses a multi-connection method consisting of an insert block, a second screw, and a reinforcing screw 7, ensuring strength while facilitating easy assembly and disassembly. All screws are designed with enlarged, anti-slip turning heads 72, making them easy for children or users to operate manually without the need for complicated tools.
[0050] The decorative design allows users to add or replace different decorative modules (such as windshields, headlight stickers, etc.) to increase the fun. Details such as the hinge limiting design, 7 reinforcing screws on the base, and 24 clearance fits on the wheels ensure the stability and playability of the toy car when unfolded. This design cleverly combines the toy's fun, structural stability, and convenient storage.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
