Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of train model turnout technology, specifically a movable turnout that reduces harmful space in train model turnouts. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional N-scale train model switches typically use a mixture of metal and plastic parts at the switch tips, or use one-piece molded metal frogs and wing rails to ensure the stability of the train model and its power supply when passing through.

[0003] However, in currently available N-scale train model switches, the connection between the frog and the wing rail slightly lifts the wheel when it passes through the switch tip area, causing swaying and a brief power outage during passage, which in turn causes the model lights to flicker, thus reducing its aesthetic appeal to some extent.

[0004] Furthermore, most of the current mainstream N-scale train model switches use electromagnets to control the movement of the switch rails. Although this structure is simple, after voltage fluctuations or prolonged use, the switch rails may not operate properly, leading to train derailment and vehicle damage.

[0005] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, a movable-point turnout that reduces harmful space in train model turnouts is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a movable point turnout that reduces harmful space in a train model turnout, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a movable-center turnout for reducing harmful space in a train model turnout, comprising a turnout base plate, on which a movable-center slider and a switch rail portion are respectively installed. The movable-center slider includes a first actuating rod and a metal slider, with a first metal contact and a second metal contact respectively disposed below the metal slider. The switch rail portion includes a first switch rail, a second switch rail, and a second actuating rod, with a third metal contact above the second actuating rod. A first guide curve rail, a second guide curve rail, a first frog rail, a second frog rail, a first main rail, and a second main rail are respectively installed on the surface of the turnout base plate. A first conductive groove is installed at the intersection of the first frog rail and the second frog rail, and a second conductive groove is installed at the intersection of the first guide curve rail and the second guide curve rail. A fourth metal contact and a fifth metal contact are disposed at the root of the switch rail portion.

[0008] Preferably, the first metal contact and the second metal contact move in the first conductive groove and the second conductive groove respectively, and conduct current to the first guide curve rail, the second guide curve rail, the first frog rail and the second frog rail through the conductive sheets in the first conductive groove and the second conductive groove.

[0009] Preferably, the first actuator is made of a plastic structure and is moved by being manually turned or driven by a servo motor, thereby moving the metal slider.

[0010] Preferably, the second actuator is made of a plastic structure and is moved by manual operation or by a servo motor, thereby moving the first and second switch rails.

[0011] Preferably, the third metal contact is used to contact the first and second base rails and conduct electricity to the first and second switch rails when the switch rail portion moves.

[0012] Preferably, the root of the tip rail portion is connected to the fourth and fifth metal contacts, while simultaneously drawing power from the second conductive groove to the first and second base rails.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] In this invention, during the use of the turnout, the slider and switch rail move under the action of the actuator, and the current is conducted to every part of the turnout through the conductive sheet and metal contacts, ensuring that the model can obtain uninterrupted power when passing through the turnout. At the same time, because the switch part is moved as a whole by using split parts, harmful space is greatly reduced, and the risk of derailment during the operation of the model is reduced, so that the consumer's model can obtain better viewing when in operation.

It includes a turnout base plate 3, on which a movable-center slider 1 and a switch rail portion 2 are respectively installed. The movable-center slider 1 includes a first actuating rod 4 and a metal slider 6. A first metal contact 5 and a second metal contact 7 are respectively provided below the metal slider 6. The switch rail portion 2 includes a first switch rail 8, a second switch rail 9, and a second actuating rod 11. A third metal contact 10 is located above the second actuating rod 11. A first guide curve rail 16, a second guide curve rail 17, a first frog rail 12, a second frog rail 13, a first main rail 18, and a second main rail 19 are respectively installed on the surface of the turnout base plate 3. A first conductive groove 14 is installed at the intersection of the first frog rail 12 and the second frog rail 13, and a second conductive groove 15 is installed at the intersection of the first guide curve rail 16 and the second guide curve rail 17. A fourth metal contact 20 and a fifth metal contact 21 are provided at the root of the switch rail portion 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the first metal contact 5 and the second metal contact 7 move in the first conductive groove 14 and the second conductive groove 15 respectively, and conduct current to the first guide curve rail 16, the second guide curve rail 17, the first frog rail 12 and the second frog rail 13 through the conductive sheets in the first conductive groove 14 and the second conductive groove 15.

[0024] Furthermore, the first actuator 4 is made of plastic and is driven by manual operation or a servo motor to move, thereby moving the metal slider 6.

[0025] Furthermore, the second actuator 11 is made of plastic and is driven by manual operation or a servo motor to move, thereby moving the first switch rail 8 and the second switch rail 9.

[0026] Furthermore, the third metal contact 10 is used to contact the first base rail 18 and the second base rail 19 and conduct electricity to the first switch rail 8 and the second switch rail 9 when the switch rail portion 2 moves.

[0027] Furthermore, the root of the switch section 2 is connected to the fourth metal contact 20 and the fifth metal contact 21, while simultaneously drawing power from the second conductive groove 15 to the first base rail 18 and the second base rail 19.

[0028] Working principle: The turnout is designed based on the turnout base plate 3, and three connection structures are designed on the three end faces of the turnout base plate 3. Electrical connection with other tracks can be achieved by adding conductive plates. The main moving mechanism of the turnout is the movable center slider 1 and the switch rail part 2. The movable center slider 1 is responsible for reducing the harmful space when the model passes through the turnout, and the switch rail part 2 is responsible for guiding the model to different tracks.

[0029] The movable slider 1 consists of a first actuating rod 4 and a metal slider 6. The first actuating rod 4 is made of plastic and can be moved by hand or driven by a servo motor, thereby moving the metal slider 6. Below the metal slider 6 are a first metal contact 5 and a second metal contact 7, which move within the first conductive groove 14 and the second conductive groove 15, respectively. Current is conducted through conductive plates in the first and second conductive grooves 14 and 15 to the first guide curve rail 16, the second guide curve rail 17, the first frog rail 12, and the second frog rail 13, thus ensuring a stable power supply for the model when it passes through this section.

[0030] The switch rail section 2 consists of a first switch rail 8, a second switch rail 9, and a second actuating rod 11. The second actuating rod 11 is also made of plastic and can be moved manually or driven by a servo motor to move the first switch rail 8 and the second switch rail 9. Above the second actuating rod 11 is a third metal contact 10, which contacts the first base rail 18 and the second base rail 19 during the movement of the switch rail section 2, conducting electricity to the first switch rail 8 and the second switch rail 9. The root of the switch rail section 2 connects to a fourth metal contact 20 and a fifth metal contact 21, allowing it to simultaneously draw power from the second conductive groove 15 and the first base rail 18 and the second base rail 19, ensuring a stable power supply for the model as it passes through the switch rail section 2.
