Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Toy cars are one of the most beloved toys for children, and toy car tracks usually form a loop route on which toy cars travel in a circular fashion.

[0003] However, current toy car tracks are continuous, so toy cars cannot rise in a straight line. This not only reduces the fun, but also prevents the tracks from being laid out when there is a certain height difference in the installation environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a toy elevator.

[0005] One embodiment of this utility model provides a toy elevator, comprising:

[0006] The elevator body has an elevator shaft formed within it. The elevator shaft has a first-floor entrance, a second-floor exit, and a third-floor exit on its side. The first-floor entrance and the second-floor exit are located on opposite sides of the elevator shaft, while the second-floor exit and the third-floor exit are located on the same side of the elevator shaft. The first-floor entrance, the second-floor exit, and the third-floor exit are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The elevator shaft also has a transmission structure.

[0007] The elevator movable part has a rotating drum rotatably mounted on it. The rotating drum is connected to the transmission structure. When the rotating drum rotates relative to the transmission structure in a preset direction, it can drive the elevator movable part to rise and fall, and the elevator shaft to rise.

[0008] A floor control mechanism is installed on the elevator body, and the floor control mechanism is capable of switching between a first state and a second state;

[0009] When the floor control mechanism is in the first state, when the movable part of the elevator rises to a position that matches the second floor exit, the floor control mechanism and the movable part of the elevator limit each other to restrict the rise of the movable part of the elevator.

[0010] When the floor control mechanism is in the second state, when the movable part of the elevator rises to a position matching the second-floor exit, the floor control mechanism restricts the toy car on the movable part of the elevator from detaching from the second-floor exit.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, the transmission structure includes a plurality of transmission gears and a plurality of transmission racks, the transmission gears being connected to the rotating drum, the transmission racks being disposed on the inner side of the elevator shaft and extending in the vertical direction, and the transmission gears meshing with the transmission racks.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the rotating roller is a magnetic wheel for magnetically engaging with the wheels of a toy car.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the movable part of the elevator is provided with an inlet magnetic suction plate and an outlet magnetic suction plate, the inlet magnetic suction plate being located on the side of the rotating drum facing the first-floor entrance, and the outlet magnetic suction plate being located on the side of the rotating drum facing the second-floor exit.

[0014] In some alternative implementations, an entrance magnetic plate is provided at the first-floor entrance, and exit magnetic plates are provided at the second-floor and third-floor exits;

[0015] When the movable part of the elevator is in a position that matches the entrance on the first floor, the position of the guide magnetic plate matches the entrance magnetic plate.

[0016] When the movable part of the elevator is in a position that matches the second-floor exit or the third-floor exit, the position of the exit magnetic plate matches the corresponding exit magnetic plate.

[0017] In some optional embodiments, the floor control mechanism includes a second-floor stop block, a second-floor exit stop block, and an operation button assembly. The second-floor stop block and the second-floor exit stop block are movably mounted on the elevator body, and the operation button assembly is drivenly connected to the second-floor stop block and the second-floor exit stop block, respectively.

[0018] When the floor control mechanism is in the first state, the operation button assembly drives the second-floor stop to move above the movable part of the elevator, so that when the movable part of the elevator rises to a position matching the second-floor exit, the movable part of the elevator can engage with the second-floor stop for limiting.

[0019] When the floor control mechanism is in the second state, the operation button assembly drives the second-floor exit block to move to the second-floor exit, so that when the movable part of the elevator rises to a position matching the second-floor exit, the second-floor exit block can prevent the toy car from leaving the second-floor exit.

[0020] In some optional embodiments, both the second-floor exit and the third-floor exit are rotatably equipped with door panels. When the floor control mechanism is in the second state, the second-floor exit block restricts the door panel of the second-floor exit from moving outwards from the second-floor exit. The second-floor exit block restricts the toy car from leaving the second-floor exit through the door panel of the second-floor exit.

[0021] In some alternative embodiments, the second-floor exit block is vertically and flexibly disposed on the side of the elevator shaft and located above the second-floor exit. The second-floor exit block is provided with a movable groove. The second-floor block is rotatably disposed on the elevator body and located on the side of the second-floor exit block away from the movable part of the elevator. A portion of the second-floor block passes through the movable groove.

[0022] When the floor control mechanism is in the first state, the second-floor exit block moves upward to drive the second-floor block to rotate, so that part of the second-floor block passes through the movable slot and extends above the movable part of the elevator.

[0023] When the floor control mechanism is in the second state, the second-floor exit block moves down to restrict the second-floor exit, and the second-floor block rotates away from the elevator movable part to move to a position that avoids the elevator movable part.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the second-floor stop includes a limiting part, a rotating part, and a counterweight part connected in sequence, the rotating part being rotatably engaged with the elevator body, and the limiting part passing through the movable slot;

[0025] When the floor control mechanism is in the first state, the second-floor exit block moves upward, and the gravity of the counterweight drives the limiting part to rotate upward. The limiting part passes through the movable slot and extends above the movable part of the elevator.

[0026] When the floor control mechanism is in the second state, the second-floor exit block moves down to restrict the second-floor exit. The downward movement of the second-floor exit block drives the limiting part to rotate downward, thereby causing the limiting part to move to a position to avoid the movable part of the elevator.

[0027] In some optional embodiments, the operating button assembly includes a second-floor button, a third-floor button, and a switching crank. The second-floor button and the third-floor button are both movably mounted on the elevator body. The switching crank is rotatably mounted on the elevator body, with its two ends connected to the second-floor button and the third-floor button, respectively. When the second-floor button is pressed, it will drive the switching crank to rotate, causing the switching crank to push the third-floor button out. When the third-floor button is pressed, it will drive the switching crank to rotate, causing the switching crank to push the second-floor button out. The third-floor button is connected to the second-floor exit block.

[0028] Compared to existing technologies, the toy elevator of this invention can use the power of the toy car to lift the toy car to the corresponding height, which is more interesting, allows for more diverse toy car tracks, is more convenient for complex environments, and does not require an additional power source, with a clever structural design.

[0044] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides a toy elevator in one embodiment, comprising:

[0046] The elevator body 10 has an elevator shaft 11 inside. The elevator shaft 11 has a first-floor entrance 12, a second-floor exit 13, and a third-floor exit 14 on its side. The first-floor entrance 12 and the second-floor exit 13 are located on opposite sides of the elevator shaft 11, while the second-floor exit 13 and the third-floor exit 14 are located on the same side of the elevator shaft 11. The first-floor entrance 12, the second-floor exit 13, and the third-floor exit 14 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The elevator shaft 11 also has a transmission structure 15.

[0047] The elevator movable part 20 has a rotating drum 21 rotatably mounted on it. The rotating drum 21 is connected to the transmission structure 15. When the rotating drum 21 rotates relative to the transmission structure 15 in a preset direction, it can drive the elevator movable part 20 to lift the elevator shaft 11 upward.

[0048] Floor control mechanism 30 is installed on elevator body 10. Floor control mechanism 30 can switch between first state and second state.

[0049] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the first state, when the movable part of the elevator 20 rises to the position matching the second floor exit 13, the floor control mechanism 30 and the movable part of the elevator 20 are limited to restrict the rise of the movable part of the elevator 20.

[0050] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, when the movable part of the elevator 20 rises to a position that matches the second-floor exit 13, the floor control mechanism 30 restricts the toy car on the movable part of the elevator 20 from detaching from the second-floor exit 13.

[0051] In this embodiment, the toy elevator is composed of an elevator body 10 assembled from the left side part 16 and the right side part 17, plus an elevator movable part 20 and a floor control mechanism 30.

[0052] The toy elevator of this invention needs to be compatible with toy cars that have a power source. The working principle of the toy elevator of one embodiment of this invention is explained below:

[0053] Please see Figures 4 to 5When the toy car needs to exit from the second-floor exit 13, the floor control mechanism 30 is set to the first state. After the toy car enters the elevator movable part 20 in the elevator shaft 11 from the first-floor entrance 12 along the driving track, the wheels of the toy car will contact the rotating drum 21. Due to the restriction of the inner wall of the elevator shaft 11, it cannot continue to move forward. At this time, the friction between the toy car and the rotating drum 21 is used to make the wheels of the toy car drive the rotating drum 21 to rotate in the preset direction. The rotation of the rotating drum 21 will drive the elevator movable part 20 to rise through the transmission structure 15. When the elevator movable part 20 rises to the position matching the second-floor exit 13, the elevator movable part 20 is restricted by the floor control mechanism 30 and cannot continue to rise. At this time, since the elevator movable part 20 stops at the second-floor exit 13, the toy car is no longer restricted by the inner wall of the elevator shaft 11 and can continue to move forward. Then it can leave the elevator shaft 11 from the second-floor exit 13.

[0054] Please see Figures 6 to 10 When the toy car needs to exit from the third-floor exit 14, the floor control mechanism 30 is put into the second state. After the toy car enters the elevator movable part 20 in the elevator shaft 11 from the second-floor entrance along the driving track, the toy car's wheels will contact the rotating roller 21. Due to being restricted by the inner wall of the elevator shaft 11, it cannot continue to move forward. At this time, the friction between the toy car and the rotating roller 21 is used to make the toy car's wheels rotate, causing the rotating roller 21 to rotate in the preset direction. The rotation of the rotating roller 21 will drive the elevator movable part 20 to rise through the transmission structure 15. When the movable part 20 of the elevator rises to the position that matches the second-floor exit 13, the toy car is no longer restricted by the inner wall of the elevator shaft 11. However, due to the restriction of the floor control mechanism 30, the toy car cannot move forward. Therefore, the toy car cannot leave the elevator shaft 11 from the second-floor exit 13. Thus, the movable part 20 of the elevator can continue to rise by the wheels of the toy car until the movable part 20 of the elevator rises to the position that matches the third-floor exit 14. At this point, the toy car is no longer restricted by the inner wall of the elevator shaft 11 and can continue to move forward. Then, it can leave the elevator shaft 11 from the third-floor exit 14.

[0055] It should be noted that since the movable part 20 of the elevator only needs to rise to the position that matches the third-floor exit 14, the travel of the movable part 20 of the elevator can be designed so that the movable part 20 of the elevator can only rise to the position that matches the third-floor exit 14.

[0056] Please see Figure 11The specific structure of the transmission structure 15 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the transmission structure 15 includes several transmission gears 151 and several transmission racks 152. The transmission gears 151 are connected to the rotating drum 21, and the transmission racks 152 are disposed on the inner side of the elevator shaft 11 and extend in the vertical direction. The transmission gears 151 mesh with the transmission racks 152. When the wheels of the toy car drive the rotating drum 21 to rotate, the rotating drum 21 will drive the transmission gears 151 to rotate, and the transmission gears 151 will rise along the transmission racks 152. The rise of the transmission gears 151 will drive the rotating drum 21 and the movable elevator part 20 to rise. After the toy car disengages from the movable elevator part 20, the gravity of the movable elevator part 20 causes it to descend along the elevator shaft 11 to a position matching the first-floor entrance 12. When the movable elevator part 20 descends, the transmission gears 151 will be driven by the transmission racks 152 to rotate in the opposite direction of the preset direction.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, the rotating roller 21 is a magnetic wheel for magnetically engaging with the wheels of the toy car. This magnetic engagement improves the positional stability of the toy car on the movable part 20 of the elevator, preventing the toy car from wobbling. In this embodiment, the magnetic wheel is made of iron, and magnets are designed on the wheels of the toy car, allowing the magnetic wheel to magnetically engage with the wheels.

[0058] The rotating drum 21 is assembled by clamping a drum metal plate 211 between the circumference of the left side portion 212 and the right side portion 213 of the drum. The drum metal plate 211 is clamped between the left side portion 212 and the right side portion 213 of the drum and presses in a metal rotating shaft 214, which then passes through the rotating shaft holes of the lifting left side portion 25 and the lifting right side portion 26 of the elevator movable part 20. The exposed part of the metal rotating shaft 214 is pressed into the transmission gears 151 on the left and right sides of the rotating drum 21 and fixed in the designated position.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, the movable part 20 of the elevator is provided with an inlet magnetic plate 22 and an outlet magnetic plate 23. The inlet magnetic plate 22 is located on the side of the rotating roller 21 facing the first-floor entrance 12, and the outlet magnetic plate 23 is located on the side of the rotating roller 21 facing the second-floor exit 13. After the toy car's wheels enter the elevator shaft 11 from the first-floor entrance 12, they can move along the inlet magnetic plate 22 and then reach the rotating roller 21. After the toy car's wheels are on the rotating roller 21, the front of the toy car should engage with the interior of the elevator shaft 11 to prevent the toy car from moving forward. When the movable part 20 of the elevator rises to a position that matches the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14, the toy car is no longer obstructed and can move outwards along the outlet magnetic plate 23 towards the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14. The inlet magnetic plate 22 and the outlet magnetic plate 23 can improve the stability of the toy car's movement. The movable part 20 of the elevator is also equipped with an inlet magnetic plate 22, an outlet magnetic plate 23, and an opening and closing track 355. The opening and closing track 355 is rotatably set on one side of the outlet magnetic plate 23. When it reaches the second floor exit 13 or the third floor exit 14, it will automatically rotate outwards due to gravity. When the movable part 20 of the elevator descends, it will automatically rotate upwards back to its original position due to the edge of the second floor exit 13 or the third floor exit 14. The opening and closing track can be used to limit the position of the toy car.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, an entrance magnetic plate 121 is provided at the first-floor entrance, and exit magnetic plates 131 are provided at the second-floor exit 13 and the third-floor exit 14. When the movable part of the elevator 20 is in a position matching the first-floor entrance 12, the position of the guide magnetic plate 22 matches the position of the entrance magnetic plate 121. When the movable part of the elevator 20 is in a position matching the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14, the position of the exit magnetic plate 23 matches the corresponding exit magnetic plate 131. Similarly to the guide magnetic plate 22 and the exit magnetic plate 23, the wheels of the toy car can enter the elevator shaft 11 along the entrance magnetic plate 121. After the toy car detaches from the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14, the toy car can move along the exit magnetic plate 131. The entrance magnetic plate 121 and the exit magnetic plate 131 can improve the stability of the toy car's movement.

[0061] The specific structure of the floor control mechanism 30 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the floor control mechanism 30 includes a second-floor stop 31, a second-floor exit stop 32, and an operation button assembly 33. The second-floor stop 31 and the second-floor exit stop 32 are movably mounted on the elevator body 10, and the operation button assembly 33 is drivenly connected to the second-floor stop 31 and the second-floor exit stop 32 respectively. When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the first state, the operation button assembly 33 drives the second-floor stop 31 to move above the movable part 20 of the elevator, so that the elevator... When the movable part 20 of the elevator rises to the position matching the second-floor exit 13, the movable part 20 of the elevator can cooperate with the second-floor stop 31 to limit the movable part 20 of the elevator to continue rising; when the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, the operation button assembly 33 drives the second-floor exit stop 32 to move to the second-floor exit 13, so that when the movable part 20 of the elevator rises to the position matching the second-floor exit 13, the second-floor exit stop 32 can limit the toy car from leaving the second-floor exit 13, thereby preventing the toy car from leaving the second-floor exit 13.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, both the second-floor exit 13 and the third-floor exit 14 are rotatably equipped with door panels 132. When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, the second-floor exit block 32 restricts the door panels 132 of the second-floor exit 13 from moving outwards. The second-floor exit block 32, through the door panels 132 of the second-floor exit 13, prevents the toy car from detaching from the second-floor exit 13. When the toy car detaches from the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14, the door panels 132 can be pushed by the toy car and rotate outwards from the second-floor exit 13 and the third-floor exit 14, thereby preventing the door panels 132 from blocking the toy car from smoothly detaching from the elevator shaft 11. When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, the second-floor exit block 32 restricts the rotation of the door panels 132, thereby preventing the toy car from pushing the door panels 132 and thus preventing the toy car from detaching from the second-floor exit 13. The door panels 132 of the second-floor exit 13 improve the stability of limiting the toy car. In addition, door panel 132 can improve aesthetics and prevent dust and impurities from entering elevator shaft 11.

[0063] An adjustment knob 24 extending out of the elevator shaft 11 is also provided on one side of the movable part 20 of the elevator. The adjustment knob 24 is connected to the transmission gear 151. The adjustment knob 24 is used to manually adjust the position of the movable part 20 of the elevator. When the movable part 20 of the elevator stops before the selected exit during the ascent, or when the toy car leaves the movable part 20 of the elevator and the movable part 20 of the elevator fails to descend back to the first floor entrance 12 due to its own weight, the vertical position of the movable part 20 of the elevator can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob 23.

[0064] Please see Figure 12In some alternative embodiments, the second-floor exit block 32 is vertically and flexibly disposed on the side of the elevator shaft 11 and located above the second-floor exit 13. The second-floor exit block 32 is provided with a movable groove 321. The second-floor block 31 is rotatably disposed on the elevator body 10 and is located on the side of the second-floor exit block 32 away from the movable part 20 of the elevator. A portion of the second-floor block 31 passes through the movable groove 321.

[0065] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the first state, the operation button assembly 33 controls the second floor exit block 32 to move upward to drive the second floor block 31 to rotate, so that part of the second floor block 31 passes through the movable slot 321 and extends above the elevator movable part 20. When the elevator movable part 20 reaches the position matching the second floor exit 13, the second floor block 31 will block the elevator movable part 20 from continuing to rise, thereby limiting the elevator movable part 20.

[0066] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, the operation button assembly 33 controls the second-floor exit block 32 to move downwards to restrict it at the second-floor exit 13. The second-floor block 31 rotates away from the elevator movable part 20, thus moving to a position to avoid the elevator movable part 20. At this time, the second-floor block 31 is equivalent to retracting into the movable slot 321 to avoid the upward path of the elevator movable part 20, thereby preventing the second-floor block 31 from obstructing the upward movement of the elevator movable part 20. Of course, if a door panel 132 is designed, the restriction at the second-floor exit 13 is achieved through the door panel 132. In this case, the second-floor exit block 32 does not necessarily have to be inside the second-floor exit 13.

[0067] The specific structure of the second-floor stop 31 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the second-floor stop 31 includes a limiting part 311, a rotating part 312 and a counterweight part 313 connected in sequence. The rotating part 312 rotates with the elevator body 10, and the limiting part 311 passes through the movable groove 321.

[0068] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the first state, the operation button assembly 33 controls the second-floor exit block 32 to move upward. The gravity of the counterweight 313 causes it to rotate downward, which in turn drives the limiting part 311 to rotate upward. The limiting part 311, rotating upward, passes through the movable slot 321 and extends above the movable part 20 of the elevator, thus restricting the upward movement of the movable part 20. A blocking structure 314 can be added to abut against the counterweight 313 or the limiting part 311, thereby maintaining the position of the counterweight 313 or the limiting part 311 so that the limiting part 311 will not move when the movable part 20 of the elevator contacts it. In this embodiment, the gravity of the counterweight 313 causes it to rotate downward and then contact the blocking structure 314.

[0069] When the floor control mechanism 30 is in the second state, the operation button assembly 33 controls the second floor exit block 32 to move down so that the second floor exit block 32 is restricted to the second floor exit 13. The downward movement of the second floor exit block 32 drives the limiting part 311 to rotate downward and retract into the movable groove 321, so that the limiting part 311 moves to a position to avoid the elevator movable part 20 without affecting the rise of the elevator movable part 20.

[0070] The specific structure of the operation button assembly 33 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the operation button assembly 33 includes a second-floor button 331, a third-floor button 332, and a switching crank 333. The second-floor button 331 and the third-floor button 332 are both movably mounted on the elevator body 10, and the switching crank 333 is rotatably mounted on the elevator body 10, with its two ends connected to the second-floor button 331 and the third-floor button 332, respectively. The second-floor button 331 and the third-floor button 332 can be used to switch the stop position of the elevator movable part 20 during ascent.

[0071] When the second-floor button 331 is pressed, it will drive the shift crank 333 to rotate, causing the shift crank 333 to push the third-floor button 332 out. When the third-floor button 332 is pressed, it will drive the shift crank 333 to rotate, causing the shift crank 333 to push the second-floor button 331 out. The third-floor button 332 is connected to the second-floor exit stop 32. When the third-floor button 332 is pressed, it will drive the second-floor exit stop 32 to move downward, while when the second-floor button 331 is pressed, it will drive the third-floor button 332 to move upward and out, thus causing the third-floor button 332 to drive the second-floor exit stop 32 to move upward. The shift crank 333 is similar to a seesaw structure. Pressing the second-floor button 331 will drive the third-floor button 332 out, and pressing the third-floor button 332 will drive the second-floor button 331 out. The shift crank 333 can be connected to a torsion spring or other suitable elastic structure, so that the shift crank 333 keeps both the third-floor button 332 and the second-floor button 331 out.

[0072] Of course, the operation button assembly 33 can also be divided into two button structures that are directly driven and connected to the second-floor stop 31 and the second-floor exit stop 32 respectively, and is not limited to the above example.

[0073] The elevator body 10 has connecting protrusions 18 below the second-floor exit 13 and the third-floor exit 14, and connecting grooves 19 below the first-floor entrance 12. Both the connecting grooves 19 and the connecting protrusions 18 can be used to dock with other magnetic adsorption tracks. The toy car can move along the magnetic adsorption track to the first-floor entrance 12 and then enter the movable part of the elevator 20, and then drive out of the elevator body 10 from the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14.

[0074] In one embodiment of the toy elevator of this utility model, as the movable end point of the movable part 20 of the elevator, the toy car can be selected to drive out of the elevator body 10 from the second floor exit 13 or the third floor exit 14 by pressing the second floor button 331 or the third floor button 332 on the top of the elevator.

[0075] When the second-floor button 331 is pressed, the second-floor stop 31 will protrude towards the movable part 20 of the elevator due to the counterweight, causing the movable part 20 of the elevator to stop at the second-floor exit 13. At this time, the rotating roller 21 also stops rotating, and the toy car will push the opening and closing track 27 forward, pushing open the door panel 132 of the second-floor exit 13. The magnetic wheels of the toy car are magnetically attached to the magnetic suction plate 131 of the exit, and travel along the second-floor exit 13, and then enter the magnetic travel track connected to the bottom of the exit.

[0076] On the other hand, if the third-floor button 332 is pressed, the protruding second-floor stop 31 will retract, and the second-floor door stop will descend, preventing the door panel 132 of the second-floor exit 13 from opening. The movable part 20 of the elevator will continue to rise and stop at the third-floor exit 14. At this time, the toy car will also push the opening and closing track 27 forward, pushing open the door panel 132 of the third-floor exit 14. The magnetic wheels of the toy car will be magnetically attached to the exit magnetic plate 131 and move forward along the third-floor exit 14, entering the magnetic running track connected to the bottom of the exit.

[0077] After the toy car leaves the elevator movable part 20 from the second-floor exit 13 or the third-floor exit 14, the elevator movable part 20 remains stationary because the toy car is pressed on the opening and closing track 27. After the toy car passes, the elevator movable part 20, no longer driven by the toy car, will begin to descend due to its own weight. The elevator movable part 20 descends in the opposite direction along the left and right transmission racks 152 via the left and right transmission gears 151, returning to the position of the first-floor entrance 12.

[0078] After the toy car passes through, the door panel 132 of exit 13 on the second floor and the door panel 132 of exit 14 on the third floor will automatically close due to gravity and return to their initial natural state.

[0079] Then, the next toy car can be accepted from the first-floor entrance 12, and the exit direction can be selected by the second-floor button 331 or the third-floor button 332 to achieve a continuous cycle of action.

[0080] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
