Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toy car track technology, specifically relating to a toy car assembly track and kit. Background Technology
[0002] Track-based toy cars are educational toys where toy cars are placed on freely assembled tracks. Due to their diverse features and unique track configurations, these toys enhance children's fun and play experience, making them very popular with children and parents. To improve the entertainment value and excitement of the game, existing toy car tracks are often designed with alternating straight and circular tracks. In this design, the straight tracks on the inbound and outbound sides of the circular track often need to be offset by a track width, meaning the straight tracks on both sides of the circular track need to be staggered. This affects the overall aesthetics of the track, and the staggered design also introduces shear forces into the circular track, affecting its stability and durability. Therefore, a toy car assembly track and kit are needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, a toy car assembly track and kit are proposed.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows: On the one hand, a toy car assembly track is proposed, including a base, the middle of which protrudes upward to form a leap section; the two ends of the base are respectively connected to an upper platform, and a through space is formed between the bottom of the upper platform and the base; the top of the upper platform forms an inclined arc, the outer end of the inclined arc is higher than the inner end, and the toy car flying out from the leap section can land at the inner end of the inclined arc; the two outer ends are connected to a track assembly.
[0005] Preferably, the runway assembly includes two curved tracks, which are arranged opposite each other; one end of the two curved tracks is connected by a connector; the other end of the two curved tracks is respectively engaged with the outer end of their respective inclined arc tracks, so that the jump section, the upper platform, the curved tracks and the connector are connected to form a circular track.
[0006] Preferably, the connector includes a through rail, one side of which is fixedly connected to a broken rail with a hollowed-out center; two arc-shaped bends are connected to the two ends of the through rail or the two ends of the broken rail.
[0007] Preferably, a first connecting part is provided at both ends of the through rail and at both ends of the broken rail. The first connecting part includes at least one set of inserts and slots. A first connecting part is also provided at the upper end of the corresponding arc-shaped curved rail. The inserts on the first connecting part of the arc-shaped curved rail engage with the slots on the first connecting part of the connector. The inserts on the first connecting part of the connector engage with the slots on the first connecting part of the arc-shaped curved rail.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting groove is provided on the side of the base, corresponding to the connecting block at the bottom of the upper platform. The connecting block can be inserted into the connecting groove to connect the upper platform and the base.
[0009] Preferably, each end of the base is connected to a straight rail, and both the end of the straight rail and the end of the base are provided with a second connecting part. The second connecting part includes at least one set of locking blocks and locking slots. The locking blocks on the straight rail can engage with the locking slots on the base, and the locking blocks on the base can engage with the locking slots on the straight rail.
[0010] On the other hand, an assembly track set is proposed, including at least one set of the aforementioned toy car assembly tracks; it also includes several straight tracks and curved tracks, with the straight tracks, toy car assembly tracks and curved tracks connected end to end to form the toy car assembly track set.
[0011] Preferably, adjacent curved rails are also connected by connectors, and wide brackets are used to reinforce the adjacent connectors; the top and bottom of the wide brackets are respectively provided with sliding grooves, and the two sliding grooves are arranged back to back on both sides of the wide brackets. The sides of the adjacent connectors are slidably locked in the two sliding grooves to realize the connection of the adjacent connectors.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: 1. This utility model achieves a coordinated connection between the base jump section, the inclined arc of the upper platform, and the track assembly, forming a circular track without the need for misalignment. This eliminates the visual disharmony caused by misalignment, reduces the effect of shear force on the track, lowers the risk of track deformation, significantly extends the track's service life, and ensures long-term stable use.
[0013] 2. The upper platform of this utility model is connected to the base by a connecting block and a connecting groove. The straight rail is spliced to the base by a second connecting part, and the curved rail is combined with the connecting piece by a first connecting part. The set includes several straight rails and curved rails, which can support children to freely combine straight lines, circles, leaps and other track configurations according to their preferences.
[0014] 3. This utility model adds a wide support reinforcement structure. The wide support slides and engages with adjacent connecting parts through back-to-back sliding grooves on both sides, which can stabilize and limit the overall track. This effectively prevents the track from shifting or parts from falling off due to vibration or collision when children are playing. It reduces the safety risk of children tripping over loose parts or accidentally swallowing small parts, and also prevents toy cars from getting stuck or derailing due to loose tracks. This ensures that the vehicles travel smoothly along the track and improves the continuity and immersion of the game. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment proposes a self-looping toy car assembly track, including a base 1 made of environmentally friendly polypropylene plastic. The center of the base 1 protrudes upwards to form a jump section 12, with a height of 3-5 cm and a smooth arc surface with a radius of 5-8 cm, ensuring the toy car can take off smoothly along the arc surface. Both ends of the base 1 are detachably connected to an upper platform 3, made of the same material as the base 1, with an overall height of 8-10 cm. A through space 4 is formed between the bottom of the upper platform 3 and the base 1, allowing the toy car to pass through. The top of the upper platform 3 has an integrally formed inclined arc track 31. The outer end 32 of the inclined arc track 31, i.e., the end furthest from the center of the base 1, is higher than the inner end 33, i.e., the end closest to the center of the base 1, with a height difference of 2-3 cm. The toy car can take off smoothly from the jump section 12 at a speed of 5-8 km / h. The toy car, launched at high speed, can accurately land at the inner end 33 of the inclined arc track 31 along a parabolic trajectory, and after falling, it can naturally slide to the outside along the inclined arc track 31; the outer ends 32 of the two upper platforms 3 are detachably connected to the runway assembly 5 to form a complete driving path.
[0023] This design of the assembly track allows the toy car to remain on the same plane after completing a full circle along the track, without shifting. At the same time, the leaping section 12 in the middle of the base 1 breaks the limitations of the planar track, adding a "flying" element to the toy car, enhancing its fun and visual impact, and satisfying children's curiosity about dynamic scenes. In addition, the base 1 can be connected to the straight track 2, which can be used as a jumping platform or track obstacle, providing diverse ways to play.
[0024] Example 2: Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the track assembly 5 includes two arc-shaped curved rails 51, which are arranged opposite each other. One end of the two arc-shaped curved rails 51 is connected by a connector 52. The other end of the two arc-shaped curved rails 51 is respectively engaged on the outer end 32 of their respective inclined curved track 31. A groove 35 can be opened in the outer end 32, and a protrusion 55 can be opened at the bottom of the arc-shaped curved rail 51. The protrusion 55 is inserted into the groove 35 to realize the connection between the arc-shaped curved rail 51 and the upper jump platform 3. The jump section 12, the upper jump platform 3, the arc-shaped curved track and the connector 52 are connected to each other to form a circular track.
[0025] Example 3: Based on Embodiment 2, in addition to direct connection via the straight plate-shaped connector 52, another type of connector 52 can be used for connection. The connector 52 includes a through rail 521, with a hollowed-out broken rail 522 fixedly connected to one side of the through rail 521. Two arc-shaped bends connect to either the two ends of the through rail 521 or the two ends of the broken rail 522. This allows one connector 52 to not only achieve connection but also, in specific scenarios, enable the toy car to leap through the air using the broken rail 522 as needed. Example 4: Continue reading Figures 1-2 Regarding the connection between the connector 52 and the curved rail 51, this embodiment designs a first connecting part. The two ends of the through rail 521 and the two ends of the broken rail 522 are each provided with a first connecting part. The first connecting part includes at least one set of inserts 53 and slots 54. The upper end of the curved rail 51 is also provided with a first connecting part. The inserts 53 on the first connecting part of the curved rail 51 are engaged with the slots 54 on the first connecting part of the connector 52. The inserts 53 on the first connecting part of the connector 52 are engaged with the slots 54 on the first connecting part of the curved rail 51.
[0026] In addition, in the connection between the base 1 and the upper platform 3, this embodiment has a connecting groove 11 on the side of the base 1, and a connecting block 34 is connected to the bottom of the upper platform 3. The connecting block 34 can be inserted into the connecting groove 11 to realize the connection between the upper platform 3 and the base 1.
[0027] The base 1 is connected to straight rails 2 at both ends. In this embodiment, a second connecting part is provided at the connection between the base 1 and the straight rails 2. The second connecting part is provided at the end of the straight rails 2 and the end of the base 1. The second connecting part includes at least one set of locking blocks 14 and locking slots 13. The locking blocks 14 on the straight rails 2 can engage with the locking slots 13 on the base 1. The locking blocks 14 on the base 1 can engage with the locking slots 13 on the straight rails 2.
[0028] Example 5: Please see Figures 1-4 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment proposes an assembly track set, including at least one set of toy car assembly tracks; it also includes several straight tracks 2 and curved tracks 51, with the straight tracks 2, toy car assembly tracks and curved tracks 51 connected end to end to form an assembly track set.
[0029] This modular track set is not a fixed structure, but rather designed around combination. The set includes at least one set of the aforementioned toy car assembly tracks; it also includes several independent straight tracks 2 and curved tracks 51. During assembly, users can assemble them according to their needs. For example, straight tracks 2 can be used to extend the length of the basic track, curved tracks 51 can be used to change the direction of the basic track, or multiple sets of basic track units can be combined with extension track units to create more complex shapes, such as ovals or figure-eight shapes, ultimately forming a modular track set that suits individual preferences.
[0030] When multiple sets of curved rails 51 are used in the assembled track kit, adjacent curved rails 51 are not directly connected, but are connected through connectors 52 to ensure a smooth transition between adjacent curved rails 51. To prevent the overall structure from loosening after multiple sets of connectors 52 are connected, a wide bracket 6 is also provided between adjacent connectors 52 for reinforcement. The wide bracket 6 is a long strip-shaped support structure with a groove 61 at the top and bottom. The two grooves 61 are not in the same direction, but are distributed in opposite directions, that is, the top groove 61 opens to the left and the bottom groove 61 opens to the right, and the width of the groove 61 is perfectly matched with the thickness of the side of the connector 52. During reinforcement, the sides of two adjacent connectors 52 are aligned with the top groove 61 and the bottom groove 61 of the wide bracket 6, respectively, and slid in along the extension direction of the groove 61, so that the two connectors 52 are horizontally fixed through the wide bracket 6, thereby improving the stability of the overall track structure.
[0031] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
