Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Track toy cars, as children's toys that combine entertainment and education, use tracks as fixed running paths and move through gravity, mechanical transmission, or remote control. They are widely loved by children and are widely used in children's entertainment, interaction, and cognitive development scenarios. Currently, the tracks that come with track toy cars generally adopt a modular design, with assembly methods mainly including conventional connection forms such as plug-in and snap-fit. The assembly of each track segment is achieved through the convex and concave fitting structure at the ends of the track.

[0003] However, existing assembly methods have significant technical flaws: First, the assembly operation requires high directional accuracy, necessitating precise alignment and force application by children. Since children's fine motor skills are not yet fully developed, the assembly process is cumbersome and complex, increasing the difficulty for children to operate independently and affecting ease of use. Second, the plug-in and snap-fit ​​connection structures themselves have limited support strength, making it difficult to provide stable and sufficient support for the toy car in operation, resulting in poor overall track stability. Third, the reliability of the connections at the assembly points is insufficient, easily leading to loosening during toy car vibration or daily movement, severely impacting the user experience. Especially after repeated disassembly and assembly, the connection structure is prone to wear and deformation, leading to increased gaps, further exacerbating the loosening problem, and even causing damage to the connection structure, rendering the track unusable and significantly shortening the lifespan of the track toy. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a toy car track.

[0005] The present invention discloses a toy car track, comprising multiple detachably connected track components. Each track component includes a track housing, the track housing having at least two connecting ends. Each toy car track connecting end is provided with at least two sets of connecting structures. Each toy car track connecting structure includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part of the toy car track is provided with a first buckle, and the second connecting part of the toy car track is provided with a second buckle.

[0006] When the connecting ends of the two track components are mated, the first connecting part of one track component is inserted into the second connecting part of the other track component; after the two track components rotate relative to each other, the first fastening part of one track component is fastened into the second fastening part of the other track component.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting part of the toy car track is a protruding structure formed by protruding along the axial direction of the connecting end, and the second connecting part of the toy car track is a recessed structure formed by recessing along the axial direction of the connecting end.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting structures on the same toy car track connection end are arranged in a rotationally symmetrical manner.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement order of the first connecting part and the second connecting part of the connecting structure of two adjacent toy car track connection ends is reversed.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second connecting part of the toy car track is further provided with a locking part. When the two track components rotate relative to each other, the first buckle of one track component passes over the locking part of the other track component and engages with the second buckle.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the toy car track locking part includes a locking arc surface and a locking slope surface. The locking arc surface and the locking slope surface of the toy car track are smoothly transitioned, and the locking arc surface of the toy car track is arranged near the second buckle part, and the locking arc surface of the toy car track is connected to the second buckle part.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first fastening part of the toy car track includes three mating inclined surfaces, which are arranged in a trapezoidal shape.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one path track is arranged on the outer periphery of the track housing, and the two ends of the toy car track path track extend to two connecting ends respectively. The toy car track path track is a unidirectional track or a cross track.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the toy car track path is a toothed surface, the toothed surface of the toy car track meshes with the moving gear of the toy car, and the toy car is movably sleeved on the track path.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the track path of the toy car is arranged in the track position of the track shell, and the track position is a groove structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the toy car track of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] This utility model relates to a toy car track. Through its reasonable structural design, this toy car track has many significant advantages, as detailed below:

[0018] First, the toy car track is composed of multiple detachable track components. Each track component's track shell connection end has a connecting structure including a first connecting part and a second connecting part, with the first connecting part having a first fastener and the second connecting part having a second fastener. During assembly, simply insert the first and second connecting parts of the two track components together, and then rotate them relative to each other to fasten the first and second fasteners. No complicated steps are required, significantly reducing the difficulty of assembly. Both children and adults can easily assemble it. This "insertion + rotation fastening" method ensures a tight fit, effectively improving connection stability and preventing loosening during use.

[0019] Secondly, the first connecting part is a raised structure that protrudes along the axial direction of the connecting end, and the second connecting part is a recessed structure that is recessed along the axial direction of the connecting end. This allows for quick directional docking of the connecting ends of the two track components. The connecting structures on the same connecting end are arranged in a rotationally symmetrical manner, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part of the connecting structures of two adjacent connecting ends are arranged in opposite order. This ensures that the track components are evenly stressed during assembly, avoids structural damage caused by local stress concentration, extends the service life of the track, and allows for flexible adjustment of the assembly direction, changes in the track path, and enriches the play scenarios.

[0020] Furthermore, the second connecting part is also provided with a locking part, which includes a locking arc surface and a locking slope surface, and the first buckle part includes three mating slope surfaces distributed in a trapezoidal shape. The two parts work together to allow the first buckle part to easily pass over the locking part and engage with the second buckle part. The locking part can limit the first buckle part, further preventing the two track components from separating. The sliding process is effortless and can be operated by children.

[0021] Finally, the path track arranged on the outer periphery of the track housing is set as a unidirectional track or a cross track. The surface of the path track is toothed, which can mesh with the moving gears of the toy car. The toy car is movably fitted onto the path track, which can stably supply force to the toy car and prevent the toy car from derailing. The path track is arranged in the groove-shaped track position of the track housing. This hidden design saves space and protects the path track from damage. Attached Figure Description

[0032] This embodiment provides a toy car track suitable for use as a running track for toy cars. This toy car track solves the problems of complex operation, insufficient structural strength, and short service life of existing toy car tracks by optimizing the connection structure 120 of the track assembly 100 and the path track 130 of the track housing 110. The specific structure and technical effects are described in detail below.

[0033] See Figure 1 and 2 The toy car track includes multiple detachable track components 100. The main body of each track component 100 is a track housing 110. The track housing 110 has at least two connecting ends 111, and at least two sets of connecting structures 120 are provided on the same connecting end 111. At the same time, the track housing 110 is also provided with multiple mounting holes 112. The mounting holes 112 are used for mounting brackets 200. By assembling the adapter brackets 200 at the mounting holes 112, the toy car track can be fixed on a table, the ground or other supporting surface. The track can also be erected at different heights according to play needs, realizing a three-dimensional track layout. This greatly improves the installation flexibility and scene adaptability of the toy car track and meets the diverse play needs of children. In terms of the number and arrangement of the connecting structures 120, it is preferable that there are four connecting structures 120 on the same connecting end 111, and these four connecting structures 120 are arranged in a rotationally symmetrical manner. The rotationally symmetrical arrangement not only helps the track assembly 100 to be subjected to uniform force during the splicing process, but also allows the spliced ​​track assembly 100 to form a stable structure with multiple points of synchronous force, laying the foundation for improving the overall load-bearing capacity and support capacity of the toy car track.

[0034] Each individual connecting structure 120 consists of a first connecting part 121 and a second connecting part 122. The two work together to splice and fix the track assembly 100, wherein the fastening function is achieved by a radially protruding fastening part. Specifically, the first connecting part 121 is a protruding structure formed along the axial direction of the connecting end 111, and the first connecting part 121 is provided with a first fastening part 1211, which is formed by a radial protrusion along the connecting end 111; the second connecting part 122 is a recessed structure formed along the axial direction of the connecting end 111, and the second connecting part 122 is provided with a second fastening part 1221, which is also formed by a radial protrusion along the connecting end 111. The radial protrusion design of the first latching part 1211 and the second latching part 1221 is the key structural foundation for the subsequent interlocking of the two track components 100 after relative rotation. The radial protrusion shape allows the interlocking surfaces to form a tight, fitting fit, significantly improving connection strength. Simultaneously, the protruding structure of the first connecting part 121 and the recessed structure of the second connecting part 122 form a precise fit. This convex-concave fit between the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122, combined with the interlocking action of the radial protruding latching parts, ensures a tight fit between the two track components 100 after assembly, effectively avoiding gaps and significantly enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the toy car track. This provides greater support for the toy car's movement, maintaining stable support even when the toy car is running at high speed or bearing a certain weight on the track. In the initial assembly stage, the convex-concave fit design also actively guides the connecting ends 111 of the two track components 100 to quickly complete directional alignment, eliminating the need for precise alignment by children or adults. The assembly method is simple and easy to use for both children and adults, greatly reducing operational difficulty.

[0035] It should be noted that the arrangement order of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122 of the connecting structure 120 of the two adjacent connecting ends 111 is reversed. This arrangement design is not only key to the effective connection of the two track components 100—when adjacent track components 100 are spliced, the first connecting part 121 of the connecting end 111 of the previous track component 100 can accurately correspond to the second connecting part 122 of the connecting end 111 of the next track component 100, and the second connecting part 122 of the connecting end 111 of the previous track component 100 can also accurately correspond to the first connecting part 121 of the connecting end 111 of the next track component 100, ensuring that the insertion action is completed smoothly; it also supports variable splicing direction. Since the connecting structure 120 of the adjacent connecting ends 111 can achieve multi-angle alignment splicing, users can adjust the splicing form of the track components 100 according to their needs. For example, by changing the relative angle of the adjacent track components 100, the track path can be flexibly changed, allowing the toy car to travel on different trajectories such as straight lines, curves, and intersections, enriching the play scenarios. Meanwhile, this reverse arrangement, combined with the rotationally symmetrical design of the connecting structure 120 on the same connecting end 111, further ensures that the track components 100 are evenly stressed during assembly, avoiding structural damage caused by localized stress concentration. This significantly improves the overall stability after assembly, making the toy car track less prone to loosening and ensuring reliable connection. Even after multiple disassemblies and reassemblies, it maintains a stable connection, effectively enhancing the durability of the toy car track. When two track components 100 need to be assembled, only two simple actions—"insertion and rotation"—are required. No tools are needed, making the operation process simple and intuitive. Both children and adults can easily master it, further enhancing its ease of use.

[0036] To further prevent the two track components 100 from separating after splicing, the second connecting part 122 is also provided with a locking part 1222. The locking part 1222 includes a locking arc surface 12221 and a locking slope 12222. The locking arc surface 12221 and the locking slope 12222 transition smoothly, and the locking arc surface 12221 is arranged near the second buckle 1221 and connects with the second buckle 1221. Correspondingly, the first buckle 1211 includes three mating slopes 12111. The three mating slopes 12111 are arranged in a trapezoidal shape. The mating slopes 12111 can precisely match the locking arc surface 12221 and the locking slope 12222. When the two track assemblies 100 rotate relative to each other, the mating slope 12111 of the first buckle 1211 will first contact the locking slope 12222 and slide along the locking slope 12222 under the rotational force. Since the locking slope 12222 and the locking arc surface 12221 transition smoothly, the mating slope 12111 can smoothly transition to the locking arc surface 12221 and slide along it, so that the first buckle 1211 passes over the locking part 1222 and engages with the second buckle 1221. At this point, the convex-concave engagement of the first connecting part 121 and the second connecting part 122 achieves initial positioning. The radially protruding first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1221 form a fastening and fixing. Combined with the limiting effect of the locking part 1222 on the first buckle 1211, a complete connection guarantee is formed from initial positioning to fixing and then to anti-detachment limiting. It can form a strong limiting effect on the first buckle 1211, effectively restricting the reverse movement of the first buckle 1211, and structurally eliminating the possibility of loosening after splicing, further ensuring the reliability of the connection. At the same time, the matching design of the locking arc surface 12221 and the matching inclined surface 12111 can reduce the friction when the first buckle 1211 passes over the locking part 1222, achieving a labor-saving effect and ensuring that children can easily complete the fastening operation. In addition, the first connecting part 121 is also provided with a reinforcing rib 1212. The reinforcing rib 1212 can enhance the structural strength of the first connecting part 121, prevent the first connecting part 121 from deforming or breaking during multiple insertions and rotations, extend the service life of the track assembly 100, further improve durability, and also provide supplementary support for the overall structural strength of the toy car track, making the toy car track have better load-bearing capacity.

[0037] At least one path track 130 is arranged on the outer periphery of the track housing 110. Both ends of the path track 130 extend to two connecting ends 111, and the path track 130 is positioned within a track position 113 of the track housing 110. The track position 113 has a recessed structure. This concealed design allows the path track 130 to be embedded inside the track housing 110, preventing it from protruding and occupying extra space. It also protects the path track 130 from damage due to collisions. Figure 2 and Figure 3The surface of the path track 130 is a toothed surface 131, which can mesh with the moving gear 310 of the toy car 300. The sleeve part 320 of the toy car is movably sleeved on the path track 130. Through the meshing transmission between the toothed surface 131 and the moving gear 310, a stable power can be provided to the toy car 300, ensuring that the toy car 300 travels smoothly on the basis of the overall high support of the toy car track. At the same time, the movable sleeve method combined with the transmission of the toothed surface 131 can keep the toy car 300 in the state of traveling along the path track 130. It can adapt to the different trajectories formed after the splicing direction changes, realize the toy car 300 traveling at multiple angles such as forward, side and backward, and effectively prevent the toy car from leaving the path track 130, ensuring the continuity and stability of the play process.

[0038] Regarding the different forms of path track 130, there are two specific structural examples of this toy car track: the first is the case where path track 130 is a unidirectional track, see [link / reference] Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this case, the track housing 110 is a columnar structure. The track housing 110 can be designed as straight or curved according to usage requirements, and it has two connecting ends 111, which are respectively distributed at both ends of the track housing 110. There are four path tracks 130, which are distributed in a rotationally symmetrical manner. This structure is suitable for constructing a single straight or curved travel path. Users can combine and splice multiple straight and curved track components 100 to change the direction of the track path, meeting the needs of toy cars to travel on different straight or curved trajectories. The second case is where the path tracks 130 are intersecting tracks, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The intersecting tracks are arranged in a cross shape, and the corresponding track housing 110 is a cuboid structure. The track housing 110 has four connecting ends 111, which are arranged in a rotationally symmetrical manner. There are two path tracks 130, which are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner. This structure can realize the intersection of different directions of travel paths. Users can flexibly splice the intersecting track component 100 with the unidirectional track component 100 to form more complex track paths, allowing the toy car to switch travel directions at the intersection, further enriching the diversity of track layout, meeting the needs of the toy car to travel on multiple tracks, and enhancing the fun and challenge of playing.

[0039] In summary, the toy car track in this embodiment achieves initial positioning through the interlocking of the first and second connecting parts, secured by the radial protruding fasteners, and further protected by a locking mechanism to prevent detachment. This multi-layered structure ensures a tight fit and high connection strength, resulting in a strong overall structure with high load-bearing capacity. It provides excellent support for the toy car, is not easily loosened, and has reliable connections. The reinforcing ribs further enhance durability. Furthermore, the reverse arrangement of adjacent connecting ends and the multi-form track components allow for variable splicing directions, enabling users to flexibly change the track path according to different splicing configurations, allowing the toy car to travel in straight lines, curves, intersections, and other trajectories. The simple "plug-in + rotation" splicing method requires no tools, is intuitive, and is easy for both children and adults to use. In terms of track design, the hidden groove structure saves space and protects the track, while the toothed drive and movable sleeve ensure the toy car adapts to different tracks without detaching. Overall, this toy car track has achieved significant improvements in ease of operation, structural stability, service life, and functional versatility, better meeting the needs of children's entertainment and education.
