Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy track technology, specifically to a multi-directional interactive toy car track. Background Technology

[0002] Existing toy car track systems achieve automatic cyclic operation of toy cars through a combination of a spiral lifting device and an inclined track component: after the vehicle is lifted to the top of the track by the spiral device, it slides along the inclined surface under gravity and eventually returns to the entrance of the lifting device, forming a closed loop.

[0003] While this basic design possesses certain educational value in physics and offers some fun, its structure suffers from the following technical problems: the spiral lifting device has only a single exit, forcing multiple vehicles to queue up and frequently causing congestion, thus affecting the smoothness of the game; simultaneously, the track is a fixed single path, lacking the function of diversion or multiple route selection, which greatly limits the diversity and strategic depth of gameplay. These issues prevent the existing product from meeting the market's demand for creative gameplay.

[0004] For example, patent publication number CN214075039U discloses a lifting platform track device. This lifting platform track device includes a lifting mechanism and a track assembly. The lifting mechanism includes: a lifting platform base; a frame mounted on the lifting platform base, with a lifting outlet at the top and a lifting inlet at the bottom. The lifting outlet is connected to the inlet end of the track assembly, and the lifting inlet is connected to the outlet end of the track assembly. The lifting platform track device provided by this utility model enables toy cars to automatically move between the lifting mechanism and the track assembly, providing high levels of fun. However, the lifting platform track device in this patent has only one outlet, and the track assembly has a single path, thus exhibiting the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings by providing a multi-directional interactive toy car track, effectively solving the problems of current display boxes being inconvenient to carry and having unstable or cumbersome connections.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] This utility model discloses a multi-directional interactive toy car track, comprising an interconnected lifting assembly and a track assembly. The lifting assembly includes a base and a tower. The tower contains a spiral ascending channel, and its upper end has at least two exits. The base or the lower end of the tower has an entrance corresponding to the number of exits. The track assembly includes several track components. The entry end of each track component is connected to one of the exits, and the exit end of the corresponding track component is connected to one of the entrances. The track component spirals downwards from the exit to the entrance. The base contains a driving mechanism that drives the spiral ascending channel to rotate. Multiple toy cars, each exiting from the exit end of their respective track component and entering the entrance, are simultaneously transported by the spiral ascending channel to their corresponding exit positions. Under gravity, they exit from the exits and enter the track component, spiraling along the track component to the entrance.

[0008] In some embodiments, the height between the exit and the entrance of the same track element satisfies the condition that a toy car entering the spiral ascending channel from the entrance drives out from the exit after rotating several times in the spiral ascending channel.

[0009] In some embodiments, the height between the inlet connecting one of the track components and the outlet connecting the other track component satisfies the condition that a toy car entering the spiral ascending channel from the inlet drives out from the outlet after rotating several times in the spiral ascending channel.

[0010] In some embodiments, at least one of the track components is designed as a cliff-shaped track component with a discontinuous track surface. The cliff-shaped track component has at least one break, and the track surface is displaced vertically at the break. When the toy car travels from the upper track surface to the break, it will fall onto the lower track surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the cliff-shaped track component has two breaks, a first break and a second break, which divide the track surface into an upper track surface, a middle track surface, and a lower track surface. The upper and lower track surfaces have the same inclination direction, while the middle track surface has the opposite inclination direction to the upper track surface. After the toy car travels forward on the upper track surface, passes through the first break, and falls onto the middle track surface, it will automatically reverse, pass through the second break, fall onto the lower track surface, and then travel forward on the lower track surface.

[0012] In some embodiments, the present invention further includes a control component, which is disposed on at least one of the track components. The toy car can stop, change lanes, accelerate, or turn on the track component by manual operation, electric automatic control, or electric remote control.

[0013] Furthermore, the track component includes a Y-shaped track segment, and the control component includes a reversing control element. The reversing control element is disposed at the intersection of the Y-shaped track segment and keeps obstructing one of the channels. The obstructed channel can be changed by controlling the reversing control element. One channel of the Y-shaped track segment leads to the exit end, and the other channel leads to the outside of the track component.

[0014] In some embodiments, multiple track components are arranged in a downward spiraling and tilted manner, intersecting each other.

[0015] In some embodiments, the present invention further includes a decorative component, wherein the decorative component and the track component are respectively provided with a connecting component that engages with each other, and the decorative component and the track component are connected by the connecting component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a motor, a transmission gear, a power supply, a charging interface, and a control switch that are electrically connected to each other. The transmission gear is used to connect the motor shaft and the spiral rising channel. The base is provided with a battery box for installing the power supply. The control switch is located on the top surface of the base to control the start and stop of the motor. The charging interface is used to connect a charging cable to charge the power supply. After the motor starts, it drives the spiral rising channel to rotate through the transmission gear.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by using at least two exits and the same number of entrances, along with several track components, the toy car track can accommodate multiple toy cars simultaneously with different route options. Toy cars exiting from different exits and entering from different entrances avoid congestion and interference, ensuring smooth gameplay. Furthermore, the multiple track components create different routes, giving the toy cars a visually dynamic and flowing effect. Players can further interact with the track components, such as changing the connection of the track components to exits or entrances, allowing the toy cars to continuously cycle and change tracks, thus expanding the diversity and strategic depth of the gameplay.

[0040] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish descriptive features, without any order or emphasis.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "fitting," "connected," "linked," and "installed" should be interpreted broadly. 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.

[0044] The multi-directional interactive toy car track of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model relates to a multi-directional interactive toy car track, including a lifting assembly 1 and a track assembly 2 connected to each other. The lifting assembly 1 includes a base 11 and a base tower 12. The base tower 12 is provided with a spiral rising channel 13. The structure and function of the spiral rising channel 13 are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here. This invention features at least two outlets 14 at the upper end of the base tower 12, and corresponding inlets 15 at the lower end of the base 11 or the base tower 12, with the same number of outlets 14. This allows at least two toy cars 7 to enter the spiral ascending channel 13 through different inlets 15 and exit through different outlets 14, thus avoiding congestion during the movement of the toy cars 7. Furthermore, the track assembly 2 of this invention includes several track components 21. The inlet end of each track component 21 is connected to one of the outlets 14, and the outlet end of the corresponding track component 21 is connected to one of the inlets 15. The track component 21 spirals downward from the outlet 14 to the inlet 15. Because there are multiple track components 21, each toy car 7 can use one track component 21, enabling multiple cars to move in an orderly cycle simultaneously without congestion and providing a better viewing experience. This invention features a drive mechanism 3 within the base 11. This drive mechanism 3 rotates the spiral ascending channel 13. Multiple toy cars 7 exit from their respective track components 21 and enter the entrance 15. Under the rotation of the spiral ascending channel 13, they are simultaneously transported to their corresponding exit 14. Since the track components 21 are inclined downwards, the toy cars 7, after exiting the exit 14, automatically slide down the track components 21 under gravity to the entrance 15, eliminating the need for additional power mechanisms. This reduces costs and prevents damage to the toy cars 7. A single drive mechanism 3 enables multiple toy cars 7 to travel simultaneously on multiple track components 21 without interference, ensuring smooth gameplay. Furthermore, it has low driving costs, expands gameplay and strategic possibilities, and enhances the overall fun.

[0046] Understandably, there can be two, three, or more exits 14 at the top of the base 12, and these exits 14 can be located at the same height or at different heights. Similarly, the corresponding number of entrances 15 can also be located at the same height or at different heights, as long as the entrance is located below the exit.

[0047] Understandably, the number of track components 21 in track assembly 2 can be more than or equal to the number of outlets 14. If the number is equal, then one track component 21 corresponds to one outlet 14 and one inlet 15, with no extra track components 21. If the number is more than the number of outlets 14, the extra track components 21 can be freely assembled to the desired connection positions. These positions can be extensions from a single track component 21 or connections between two track components 21. Of course, the number of track components 21 can also be less than the number of outlets 14, but this is generally not designed this way. If this is the case, there will be extra outlets 14, but these extra outlets 14 can be closed or connected to other positions using other components.

[0048] The entry point 15 and exit point 14 of the toy car 7 in this invention are fixed and unchangeable. This is determined by the location of the spiral ascending channel 13 and the entrance / exit 15, which are predetermined during the toy design. Furthermore, these three components are essentially unchangeable or difficult to replace unless the entire lifting assembly 1 is replaced. However, the running route of the toy car 7 can be adjusted and changed. This is mainly achieved by the player adjusting the connection position between the track component 21 and the exit 14 or entrance 15. For example, if the height between the exit 14 and entrance 15 connected to the same track component 21 satisfies the condition that the toy car 7 entering the spiral ascending channel 13 from entrance 15 rotates several times in the spiral ascending channel 13 before exiting from exit 14; this means that if the corresponding exit 14 and entrance 15 (such as the first exit 14 and the first entrance 15) are connected by the same track component 21 at their entry and exit points, then the toy car 7 will continuously cycle along this track component 21. Furthermore, if the height between the entrance 15 connecting one track component 21 and the exit 14 connecting the other track component 21 satisfies the condition that the toy car 7 entering the spiral ascending channel 13 from the entrance 15 rotates several times in the spiral ascending channel 13 and then exits from the exit 14; this means that between the pre-set non-corresponding exits 14 and entrances 15 (such as the first exit 14 and the second entrance 15), the inlet end of the first track component 211 is connected to the first exit 14 and the outlet end is connected to the second entrance 15, then after the toy car 7 enters the second entrance 15 from the outlet end of the first track component 211, under the drive of the spiral ascending channel 13, the toy car 7 will still exit from the second exit 14 corresponding to the second entrance 15, and will not exit from the first exit 14. At this time, the toy car 7 will enter the inlet end of another track component 21 (such as the second track component 212) connected to the second entrance 15, and will not enter the inlet end of the first track component 211. Furthermore, if the exit end of the second track component 212 is connected to the first entrance 15, then the toy car 7, after exiting from the second exit 14 and traveling along the second track component 212, will eventually enter through the first entrance 15, exit through the first exit 14, and return to the first track. This creates a loop where the toy car 7 travels between the first and second tracks. Of course, with more exits 14, entrances 15, and track components 21, the first entrance 15 can also be connected to other track components 21, such as a third track component 21, allowing the toy car 7 to travel across more tracks. This not only enables interaction between the player and the toy but also allows for more creative ways to play, increasing the fun and sustainability of the game.

[0049] To break away from the monotonous continuous movement of the toy car 7 along the track surface, this invention designs at least one track component 21 as a discontinuous, cliff-like track component 21. This cliff-like track component 21 has at least one break 22, creating an upward and downward jump at the break 22. When the toy car 7 travels from the upper track surface to the break 22, it will fall onto the lower track surface and continue traveling down it. By setting the break 22, the movement of the toy car 7 on the track component 21 is no longer monotonous, but rather provides a sense of leaping and airborne movement, thus increasing the toy's fun factor.

[0050] Furthermore, the break 22 can be used to change the direction of travel of the toy car 7, for example... Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment: The cliff-shaped track component 21 of this embodiment has two breaks 22, a first break 22 and a second break 22, which divide the track surface into an upper track surface 201, a middle track surface 202 and a lower track surface 203. The upper track surface 201 and the lower track surface 203 have the same inclination direction, while the middle track surface 202 has the opposite inclination direction to the upper track surface 201. After the toy car 7 travels forward from the upper track surface 201, passes through the first break 22 and falls to the middle track surface 202, it will automatically reverse and pass through the second break 22 to fall to the lower track surface 203 and then travel forward along the lower track surface 203.

[0051] To further enhance the interactivity of the toy car track, this invention also includes a control component 4, which is mounted on at least one track component 21. The toy car 7 can stop, change lanes, accelerate, or turn on the track component 21 through manual operation, electric automatic control, or electric remote control. Manual operation refers to the player using their fingers to flick, rotate, or move the control component 4, thereby changing its position and altering the toy car 7's movement or path on the track component 21. Electric automatic control means that after the player activates the electric device, it automatically cycles through the position changes of the control component 4, eliminating the need for manual operation. Electric remote control refers to the use of a remote control or button, allowing the player to control the position changes of the control component 4 without manually flicking it. The control component 4 allows the toy car 7 to be controlled according to the player's wishes, improving both interactivity and playability.

[0052] The control component 4 of this utility model can have various structural styles, such as the crossbar 41 similar to that of a parking lot entrance / exit 14. For example, the track component 21 includes a Y-shaped track segment 23, and the control component 4 corresponds to a reversing control component 43. This reversing control component 43 is located at the intersection of the Y-shaped track segment 23 and obstructs one of the passageways. Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, two ends of the Y-shaped track segment 23 (the first end 231 and the second end 232) are respectively connected to the two ends of the track component 21 to form a complete passage. That is, one end of the track component 21 is connected to the outlet 14 and the other end is connected to the inlet 15. The third end 233 of the Y-shaped track segment 23 is inclined downward and extends outside the track assembly 2. If the toy car 7 travels through the third end 233, it will eventually leave the toy. The reversing control component 43 switches between the second end 232 (the end leading to the inlet 15 of the lifting assembly 1) and the third end 233. By manually operating the reversing control component 43, the obstructed passage can be changed, and the toy car 7 can be allowed to travel to the inlet 15 of the lifting assembly 1 or leave the toy car track.

[0053] To avoid the toy car track becoming too large and taking up too much space, making it difficult to place or store, this utility model uses multiple track components 21 arranged in a crisscrossing, downward spiraling and inclined pattern, utilizing the staggered height to effectively reduce the floor space occupied. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, there are two track components 21. These two track components 21 extend from the left and right sides of the base tower 12 of the lifting assembly 1 and then bend and coil in front of the base tower 12. The two are intertwined and coiled on the left and right, so the actual space occupied is much smaller than the design of the two track components 21 coiling on the left and right and in front and behind.

[0054] To further enhance the aesthetics and fun of the toy car track, this utility model also includes a decorative component 5. The decorative component 5 and the track component 21 are respectively provided with interlocking connectors 6, which connect the decorative component 5 and the track component 21. Figure 6 As shown, the decorative piece 5 in this embodiment imitates a tunnel entrance, with two holes 51 at the top and bottom, simulating the tunnel entrance / exit 14. A connector 6 (protruding post 61) is provided at the lower edge of the hole 51, and a corresponding connector 6 (recessed hole 62) is also provided on the bottom surface of the track piece 21. The decorative piece 5 is connected to the track piece 21 via the connector 6. The two holes 51 of the decorative piece 5 in this embodiment are respectively connected to two track pieces 21, thus the track piece 21 also serves to connect the two track pieces 21 together. Of course, where the two track pieces 21 overlap in the vertical projection direction, a support post 24 can be provided to connect the upper and lower positions of the two track pieces 21, thus ensuring the stability of the entire toy car track.

[0055] To ensure better stability of the toy car track during play, the track assembly 2 has multiple support feet 25 extending downwards to the placement surface on the track piece 21 near the placement surface, thereby improving the stability of the track assembly 2 and preventing wobbling.

[0056] Although the structure of the lifting component 1 is existing technology, the drive mechanism 3 of the existing lifting component 1 is relatively simple, and its power source is a common battery that cannot be recharged, resulting in relatively high power consumption costs. The drive mechanism 3 of this invention includes a motor 31, a transmission gear 32, a power supply 33, a charging interface 34, and a control switch 35, all electrically connected. The transmission gear 32 connects the shaft of the motor 31 to the spiral rising channel 13. The base 11 has a battery box for mounting the power supply 33. The control switch 35 is located on the top surface of the base 11 to control the start and stop of the motor 31. The charging interface 34 connects to a charging cable to charge the power supply 33. After the motor 31 starts, it drives the spiral rising channel 13 to rotate via the transmission gear 32. Through the combination of the charging power supply 33 and the charging interface 34, the power supply 33 of the toy car track can be charged, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. Furthermore, even when the power supply 33 is depleted, the toy car can be played while charging via the charging cable.

[0057] The following description uses a specific embodiment as an example.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the multi-directional interactive toy car track of this embodiment includes a lifting assembly 1 and a track assembly 2 connected to each other. The lifting assembly 1 includes a base 11 and a tower 12. The tower 12 is provided with a spiral ascending channel 13, and the base 11 is provided with a drive mechanism 3. The spiral ascending channel 13 rotates at a constant speed under the drive mechanism 3, thereby continuously transporting the toy car 7 from the lower end of the tower 12 upwards. In this embodiment, an exit 14 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the upper end of the tower 12, and two entrances 15 are provided at the connection position between the base 11 and the tower 12, one on the left and one on the right. The lifting assembly 1 of this embodiment is configured such that the left entrance 15 corresponds to the right exit 14, and the right entrance 15 corresponds to the left exit 14. That is, the toy car 7 entering through the left entrance 15 will drive out through the upper right exit 14, and the toy car 7 entering through the right entrance 15 will drive out through the upper left exit 14. The track assembly 2 includes two track components 21, namely a first track component 211 and a second track component 212. The entry end of the first track component 211 is connected to the right exit 14, and the exit end is connected to the right entrance 15. The entry end of the second track component 212 is connected to the left exit 14, and the exit end is connected to the left entrance 15. At the same time, these two track components 21 spiral downwards from the exit 14 toward the front of the lifting assembly 1 and tilt downwards to the entrance 15, with the two track components 21 intertwined.

[0059] As shown in the track assembly 2 above, after the toy car 7 travels from the first track component 211 to the exit end, it enters the right entrance 15. Then, driven by the spiral ascending channel 13, it finally exits from the left exit 14 above the base tower 12, thus entering the second track component 212. It then travels downwards along the second track component 212, eventually reaching the exit end of the second track component 212, entering the left entrance 15. Next, driven by the spiral ascending channel 13, it exits from the upper right exit 14, thus entering the first track component 211. Traveling downwards along the first track component 211 to the exit end, it will again enter the right entrance 15. This cycle repeats, forming a loop where the toy car 7 travels alternately on the two track components 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first track component 211 is designed as a discontinuous, cliff-like track component 21 with two breaks 22, a first break 22 and a second break 22. These two breaks 22 divide the track surface into an upper track surface 201, a middle track surface 202, and a lower track surface 203. The upper track surface 201 and the lower track surface 203 have the same inclination direction, while the middle track surface 202 has the opposite inclination direction to the upper track surface 201. When the toy car 7 travels forward from the upper track surface 201, passes the first break 22, falls onto the middle track surface 202, and then automatically reverses, passes the second break 22, falls onto the lower track surface 203, and then travels forward along the lower track surface 203. Therefore, the toy car track achieves the effect of a cliff-like reversing motion.

[0061] The control component 4 in this embodiment has three types. The first type is a crossbar 41 located on the middle track surface 202, which can stop a toy car 7 on the middle track surface 202. The second type is a turning guardrail 42, located on the outer wall of the curve of the second track component 212. When the guardrail 42 is lowered, it forms the outer wall of the curve, preventing the toy car 7 from running off the track at the curve. If the guardrail 42 is manually raised, the toy car 7 will run off the track due to inertia at the curve and fly outside. The third type is a reversing control component 43. In this embodiment, a reversing control component 43 is provided on each of the two tracks. Both track components 21 include Y-shaped track segments 23. The reversing control component 43 is located at the intersection of the Y-shaped track segments 23 and keeps obstructing one of the channels. Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the Y-shaped track segment 23 is connected to the two ends of the track component 21 to form a complete passage connecting the outlet 14 and the inlet 15. The third end 233 of the Y-shaped track segment 23 is inclined downward and extends outside the track component 2. The reversing control 43 switches between the second end 232 (the end leading to the inlet 15 of the lifting component 1) and the third end 233. By manually operating the reversing control 43, the obstructed passage can be changed, and the toy car 7 can be driven to the inlet 15 of the lifting component 1 or driven away from the toy car track.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, the toy car track in this embodiment includes a decorative piece 5, which imitates a tunnel entrance. It has two holes 51, one above the other, simulating the tunnel entrance / exit 14. The upper hole 51 connects to the second track piece 212, and the lower hole 51 connects to the first track piece 211. Specifically, a connector 6 (protruding post 61) is provided at the lower edge of the hole 51, and a corresponding connector 6 (recessed hole 62) is also provided on the bottom surface of the track piece 21. The decorative piece 5 is connected to the track piece 21 through the connector 6.

[0063] The toy car track in this embodiment, through the cooperation of two exits 14, two entrances 15, and two track components 21, enables two or more toy cars 7 to travel simultaneously. Each toy car 7 can travel alternately and cyclically on the two track components 21 without interfering with each other, ensuring the smoothness of the game and creating a continuous visual effect. In addition, it is equipped with a control component 4, which enables strategic gameplay such as competitive play, improves the interactive effect, and expands the diversity and strategy of the gameplay.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0065] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.

The tower has a spiral ascending channel and at least two outlets at its upper end. The base or the lower end of the tower has an inlet with the same number of outlets. The track assembly includes several track components. The inlet end of each track component is connected to one of the outlets, and the outlet end of each track component is connected to one of the inlets. The track component spirals downward from the outlet to the inlet. The base is equipped with a drive mechanism, which is used to drive the spiral ascending channel to rotate. After multiple toy cars drive out from the exit end of their respective track components and enter the entrance, they are simultaneously transported by the spiral ascending channel to the corresponding exit positions. Under the action of gravity, they drive out from the exit and enter the track components and travel along the track components to the entrance.

2. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, The height between the exit and the entrance of the same track component satisfies the following condition: a toy car entering the spiral ascending channel from the entrance rotates several times in the spiral ascending channel and then exits from the exit.

3. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, The height between the inlet connecting one of the track components and the outlet connecting the other track component satisfies the condition that a toy car entering the spiral ascending channel from the inlet drives out from the outlet after rotating several times in the spiral ascending channel.

4. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, At least one of the track components is designed as a discontinuous track surface with a cliff-like structure. The cliff-like track component has at least one break, and the track surface is displaced vertically at the break. When the toy car travels from the upper track surface to the break, it will fall onto the lower track surface.

5. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 4, characterized in that, The cliff-shaped track component has two breaks, a first break and a second break, which divide the track surface into an upper track surface, a middle track surface, and a lower track surface. The upper and lower track surfaces have the same inclination direction, while the middle track surface has the opposite inclination direction to the upper track surface. After the toy car travels forward on the upper track surface, passes through the first break, and falls onto the middle track surface, it will automatically reverse, pass through the second break, fall onto the lower track surface, and then travel forward on the lower track surface.

6. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a control component, which is installed on at least one of the track components. The toy car can stop, change lanes, accelerate, or turn on the track component by manual operation, electric automatic control, or electric remote control.

7. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 6, characterized in that, The track component includes a Y-shaped track segment, and the control component includes a reversing control element. The reversing control element is located at the intersection of the Y-shaped track segment and keeps obstructing one of the channels. The obstructed channel can be changed by controlling the reversing control element. One channel of the Y-shaped track segment leads to the exit end, and the other channel leads to the outside of the track component.

8. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, The multiple track components are arranged in a downward spiraling and tilted manner, intersecting each other.

9. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes decorative parts, and the decorative parts and the track parts are respectively provided with connecting parts that mate with each other, so that the decorative parts and the track parts are connected through the connecting parts.

10. The multi-directional interactive toy car track according to claim 1, characterized in that, The drive mechanism includes a motor, a transmission gear, a power supply, a charging interface, and a control switch that are electrically connected to each other. The transmission gear is used to connect the motor shaft and the spiral rising channel. The base is provided with a battery box for the power supply to be installed. The control switch is located on the top surface of the base to control the start and stop of the motor. The charging interface is used to connect a charging cable to charge the power supply. After the motor starts, it drives the spiral rising channel to rotate through the transmission gear.
