Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and more specifically, to a toy car. Background Technology

[0002] In the toy industry, toy cars, as a type of toy that is very popular with children, have been constantly innovating and developing. Traditional toy cars are mostly limited in function, mainly focusing on simple driving functions, that is, controlling the toy car to move forward, backward, turn and other basic actions via remote control to achieve the purpose of entertainment.

[0003] With advancements in technology and rising consumer demands, people have higher expectations for the fun and interactivity of toy cars. While some existing toy cars have attempted to add features to enhance their appeal, they still fall short in terms of vehicle status feedback and user experience.

[0004] Currently, some toy cars on the market with basic feedback functions often have rather rudimentary feedback mechanisms. For example, some toy cars can only indicate a certain status of the vehicle, such as low battery, through simple light flashing, but they cannot accurately and comprehensively provide the operator with various status information during actual operation, such as whether the vehicle is on a bumpy road, turning, or its speed. This makes it difficult for the operator to fully understand the toy car's operating status, reducing the interactivity and fun between the toy car and the operator.

[0005] Most existing toy cars lack a robust detection and transmission mechanism for feedback on wheel operation. While some toy cars can roughly control wheel rotation, they cannot accurately convert detailed information such as the dynamic changes between the wheels and the road surface—e.g., the car's vibrations when turning, and the forces acting on the road at different speeds—into electrical signals and transmit them to the remote control. This prevents the operator from intuitively understanding the actual operation of the wheels, affecting the precision and enjoyment of the operation.

[0006] Regarding steering functionality, while existing toy car steering mechanisms can perform basic steering actions, their detection and feedback of steering signals are not perfect. For example, they lack the ability to judge road resistance when the car is turning, and cannot accurately transmit the specific force changes of the steering mechanism to the remote control, making it difficult for the operator to accurately grasp the turning status of the toy car.

[0007] Furthermore, the functions of existing toy car remote controls are relatively limited, mostly only capable of sending basic control signals. They cannot provide intuitive responses based on signals from the vehicle itself, thus failing to enhance the user experience. For example, when the vehicle is in different states, the remote control cannot visually demonstrate the vehicle's operation through its own structural movements, such as speed or road surface smoothness, making the interaction between the operator and the toy car lack intuitiveness and fun. Utility Model Content

[0008] The main purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned defects and deficiencies by detecting the wheel running and vehicle vibration and incorporating them into the driven structure on the remote control to enhance the user experience. Based on this, a toy car is provided.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] The toy car of this invention includes a car body and a remote control for controlling the operation of the car body. The car body includes a frame, wheels, and a first power unit for providing steering power to the wheels. The wheels and the first power unit are both mounted on the frame, and the first power unit is transmissively connected to the wheels. The car body also includes a shock absorption mechanism, a pressure sensing unit, and a processor. The wheels are connected to the frame via the shock absorption mechanism and are electrically connected to the processor. The shock absorption mechanism is connected to the pressure sensing unit, and the pressure sensing unit is electrically connected to the processor. The remote control includes a main body, a signal receiving unit, a second power unit, and a driven structure. The signal receiving unit, the second power unit, and the driven structure are all mounted on the main body. The signal receiving unit is electrically connected to the processor, the second power unit is electrically connected to the signal receiving unit, and the driven structure is electrically connected to the second power unit. When the signal receiving unit receives a signal sent by the processor, it activates the second power unit, which drives the driven structure to operate. In this configuration, the car body appears to be on a bumpy road or turning.

[0011] Preferably, the wheel includes an axle, which is driveably connected to a first power unit, and the first power unit is electrically connected to the processor via an encoder.

[0012] Preferably, the pressure sensing unit is mounted on the swing arm of the steering mechanism, and the pressure sensing unit is connected to the shock absorption mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the main body of the remote control is configured as a handle.

[0014] Preferably, the driven structure is configured as a wheel.

[0015] Preferably, the first power unit is configured as a servo motor.

[0016] Preferably, the second power unit is configured as a motor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention, through the cooperation of a shock-absorbing mechanism, a pressure sensing unit, a processor, and a remote control, enables the pressure sensing unit to detect the vibration of the shock-absorbing mechanism in a timely manner when the wheels are running on bumpy roads. The signal is then transmitted to the processor and then to the remote control, allowing the operator to accurately know the road conditions of the vehicle.

[0019] In addition, the wheel axle is connected to the pressure sensing unit through a shock absorption mechanism. During operation, the encoder can convert the steering pressure signal between the wheel and the ground at different speeds into an electrical signal and transmit it to the processor. The processor then sends the signal to the remote control. After receiving the signal from the processor, the remote control starts the second power unit to drive the driven structure and adjusts the reverse torque of the second power unit according to the electrical signal. The movement of the second power unit directly reflects the real-time feedback of the vehicle to the road conditions, increasing the fun and experience of operation and allowing the operator to intuitively understand the steering status of the wheels.

[0020] In addition to being designed as wheels, the driven structure can also be designed as steering wheels, rocker arms, or other rotatable parts commonly found in toys, making it easy to replace them according to different design requirements and usage scenarios, thus improving the product's versatility and diversity.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0028] Example

[0029] This embodiment provides a toy car, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a vehicle body 10 and a remote controller. The vehicle body 10 and the remote controller are electrically connected via electrical signals. The vehicle body 10 includes a frame 11, wheels, and a first power unit. Both the wheels and the first power unit are mounted on the frame 11. The first power unit is driveably connected to the wheels and is used to provide steering power to the wheels. The vehicle body 10 also includes a shock absorption mechanism 14, a pressure sensing unit 15, and a processor. The wheels are connected to the frame 11 via the shock absorption mechanism 14. The shock absorption mechanism 14 is connected to the pressure sensing unit 15, which is electrically connected to the processor. The processor is electrically connected to the remote controller. When the pressure sensing unit 15 detects vibration of the shock absorption mechanism 14, i.e., when the wheels are running on bumpy roads, it transmits the detection signal to the processor, which then sends a signal to the remote controller.

[0030] Specifically, the wheel includes an axle, which is transmissibly connected to the first power unit. When the wheel is running, the running signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the processor. For example, the wheel speed and number of rotations are converted into electrical signals by an encoder connected to the axle. Then, the processor sends the signal to the remote controller.

[0031] Specifically, the axle is connected to the first power unit via a steering mechanism, which is also electrically connected to the processor. When the steering mechanism performs a steering action, a signal is transmitted to the processor via an angle detector (such as a steering detector) connected to the steering mechanism. Then, the processor sends a signal to the remote controller.

[0032] Specifically, the steering mechanism includes a swing arm, the pressure sensing unit is mounted on the swing arm, and the wheel axle is connected to the swing arm; when the damping mechanism 14 vibrates, the swing arm vibrates accordingly and transmits the vibration to the pressure sensing unit.

[0033] Specifically, the steering mechanism can be configured as a bevel gear set, and the bevel gear set can adopt a conventional construction form in the art. This application does not make any improvement to the specific steering mechanism.

[0034] This invention is an improvement on existing conventional toy cars. Except for the driven structure on the remote control and the pressure sensing unit, all other components are existing technologies. These existing technologies include wheel steering mechanisms. In this invention, a pressure sensing unit is connected to an existing steering mechanism to achieve the technical objective of this invention.

[0035] Specifically, the remote control includes a handle (i.e., a specific structural form of the main body of the remote control), a signal receiving unit, a second power unit, and a driven structure 24. The signal receiving unit, the second power unit, and the driven structure 24 are all mounted on the handle. The signal receiving unit is electrically connected to the processor, the second power unit is electrically connected to the signal receiving unit, and the driven structure 24 is electrically connected to the second power unit. When the signal receiving unit receives a signal sent by the processor, it starts the second power unit, which drives the driven structure 24 to run. With this structural form, the vehicle body 10 appears to be on a bumpy road or turning.

[0036] Specifically, the first power unit can be configured as a servo motor 16.

[0037] Specifically, the second power unit can also be configured as a motor.

[0038] Specifically, the driven structure 24 can be configured as a wheel. When the signal receiving unit receives a signal, the wheel rotates, and the speed of the wheel rotation can be used to intuitively judge the status of the vehicle body 10, thereby increasing the user experience. In addition, the purpose of the driven structure 24 is to reflect the speed of the vehicle body 10 and whether the road conditions are smooth. This is done by the movement of the driven structure 24. In addition to configuring the driven structure 24 as a wheel, it can also be configured as other structural forms, such as a windmill or a rotating swing arm. Any other common rotatable parts in the toy industry can replace the wheel.

[0039] This utility model has been described through embodiments, but it does not constitute a limitation on this utility model. Other variations of the disclosed embodiments, which are readily apparent to those skilled in the art, should fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model, with reference to the description of this utility model.
