Description

Track toy and lifting device for track toy Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of toys, in particular to a track toy and a lifting device for the track toy. Background Art

[0002] Existing track toys are constructed using building blocks to create various three-dimensional tracks. A ball slides from the upper end of the track along a set path to the lower end. To increase the fun of track toys, some track toys also have a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism's inlet and outlet are connected to the upper and lower ends of the track, automatically lifting the ball that has fallen to the lower end to the upper end of the track, achieving an automatic circular sliding motion.

[0003] For example, in the prior art, electric lifting mechanisms for spheres primarily employ a spiral-lifting structure, such as in Patent Application No. 201220060244.5, titled "A Spiral-Rising Roller Coaster Toy," which can be used to lift toy vehicles, spheres, and the like. Another common electric lifting method is the step-lifting method, such as in Patent Application No. 201220228774.6, titled "A Track Toy."

[0004] Spiral lift mechanisms are relatively common for track toys, lacking playability, visual appeal, and reliability. Stepped lifts, on the other hand, take up a lot of space and are prone to getting stuck. They also lack playability, visual appeal, and reliability. Therefore, providing a new lift mechanism is a goal for those skilled in the art.

[0073] And / or, the track is installed in a shell.

[0074] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0075] 1. In the present invention, a plurality of left and right ball-holding members are respectively provided on the left and right lifting members, which are vertically spaced apart. The corresponding ball-holding members can support the ball, and the driving mechanism drives the left and right lifting members to move vertically back and forth simultaneously, and the movement directions are opposite. When the ball is lifted by the ball-holding member on one side, the ball on the corresponding ball-holding member is pushed away by the ball-pushing member on the corresponding side and moves toward the other side and falls onto the ball-holding member on the opposite side. In this way, the ball is lifted from bottom to top, and the lifting of the ball is achieved. This lifting method is stable, and the structure is more novel, more beautiful, more interesting, and more reliable.

[0076] 2. The bottom surface of the ball pushing member in the present invention is inclined upward from the outside to the inside. When the corresponding ball holding member drives the ball to move upward and contacts the bottom surface of the ball pushing member, the inclined ball pushing member pushes the ball away from the corresponding ball holding member, so that the ball falls to the left and right sides, and the ball is lifted in a staggered manner. This is more novel and interesting, and the ball is more stable when it is separated from the ball holding member. The structure is also simple and not easy to be damaged or error-prone. This ensures the stability of the ball lifting and prevents the occurrence of sticking.

[0077] 3. In the present invention, racks are provided on the inner walls of the rear ends of the left and right lifting members, and the driving mechanism can adopt a combination of a motor and a gear. By meshing the gears with the racks on both sides, the motor drives the gears to rotate, and the racks on both sides are synchronously driven to move relative to each other, thereby realizing the movement of the lifting mechanism in relative directions, so that when the ball on the ball-holding member on the corresponding side falls off, the ball-holding member on the other side will be under the ball, and can support the fallen ball, thereby ensuring the stability of the ball lifting;

[0078] 4. The driving mechanism in the present invention can also adopt a combination of a motor, a gear and a fan-shaped gear, so that the motor rotates in the same direction all the time and can directly drive the fan-shaped tooth plate to swing back and forth, thereby driving the lifting member on one side to move back and forth up and down. When the lifting member on this side moves back and forth, the reciprocating rotation of the gear can drive the lifting member on the other side to move back and forth up and down, and the moving directions of the lifting members on both sides will be opposite, so the motor does not need to pause, which can ensure the smoothness of the reciprocating movement of the lifting members on both sides, thereby ensuring the beauty and fun of the ball lifting.

The rear end of the left lifting member 31 is slidably connected to the vertical slide groove 11 on the left, and the rear end of the right lifting member 32 is slidably connected to the vertical slide groove 11 on the right; a plurality of left ball-holding members 310 are provided on the right side surface of the left lifting member 31 from top to bottom, and each left ball-pushing member 12 is provided between adjacent left ball-holding members 310; a plurality of right ball-holding members 320 are provided on the left side surface of the right lifting member 32 from top to bottom, and each right ball-holding member 320 is provided between adjacent right ball-pushing members 13;

[0120] The driving mechanism 5 is arranged in the warehouse body 1 on the rear side of the partition 10. The rear ends of the left lifting member 31 and the right lifting member 32 pass through the corresponding vertical slide groove 11 and are arranged on the rear side of the partition 10. The driving mechanism 5 is connected to the rear ends of the left lifting member 31 and the right lifting member 32. The driving mechanism 5 drives the left lifting member 31 and the right lifting member 32 to move back and forth up and down at the same time, and the movement directions of the left lifting member 31 and the right lifting member 32 are opposite.

[0121] 3a to 3e, a ball inlet 14 and a ball outlet 15 are provided on the bottom and top of the partition 10, respectively. The ball inlet 14 is provided directly below the left ball pushing member 12 at the bottom, and the ball outlet 15 is provided directly above the left ball holding member 310 at the top. The ends of the ball inlet 14 and the ball outlet 15 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the partition 10.

[0122] When the left lifting member 32 moves downward to the bottom of the warehouse body 1, the bottom left ball holding member 310 is set below the bottom surface of the ball outlet 14; when the left lifting member 31 moves upward to the top of the warehouse body 1, the rear end top surface of the top left ball holding member 310 is set above the bottom surface of the ball outlet 14, or the rear end top surface of the top left ball holding member 310 is set flush with the bottom surface of the ball outlet 15.

[0123] In this embodiment, the partition 10 divides the warehouse body 1 into a front cavity 16 and a rear cavity 17. The left lifting member, the right lifting member, the left ball holding member, the right ball holding member, the left ball pushing member and the right ball pushing member are located in the front cavity. The rear ends of the left lifting member and the right lifting member are inserted into the rear cavity through the corresponding vertical through slots. The driving mechanism is also installed in the rear cavity. A transparent plate 18 is installed on the front side of the warehouse body 1. When the ball 22 is lifted by the lifting mechanism, the transparent plate can not only be combined with the partition to limit the forward and backward rolling of the ball, but also block the ball from falling forward from the corresponding ball holding member even if the ball is at risk of falling forward from the corresponding ball holding member. The ball is located between the partition, the transparent plate, the left lifting member and the right lifting member to limit the ball. At the same time, the presence of the transparent plate allows the user to directly observe the lifting process of the ball when the ball is lifted, thereby increasing the fun of the track toy.

[0124] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 to 9 and 14 to 16, a ball guide groove 61 is provided in the chamber body 1 on the rear side of the partition 10, and the ball inlet 14 is connected to the front end of the ball guide groove 61; the ball guide groove 61 is provided in the rear cavity 17. In this embodiment, a bottom mounting plate 6 is installed in the rear cavity of the chamber body, and the ball guide groove 61 is provided on the top surface of the bottom mounting plate 6. The front end surface of the ball guide groove 61 is connected to the front end surface of the bottom mounting plate 6. Preferably, the ball guide groove is inclined downward from the back to the front starting from the middle, and is a V-shaped surface that can support the ball. The front end of the V-shaped surface is arranged opposite to the bottom surface of the ball inlet, so that when the ball enters the ball guide groove, it will roll forward along the V-shaped surface and then enter the front side of the partition through the ball inlet. Among them, a feed port 19 connected to the rear cavity is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the silo, and the ball guide groove 61 is an overall Y-shaped structure, including a front ball guide groove 62 and two side ball guide grooves 64 provided on the left and right sides of the rear end of the front ball guide groove 62. The front ball guide groove 62 is tilted downward from the back to the front. The outer side of each side ball guide groove 64 is connected to the feed port on one side, and the inner end is connected to the rear end of the front ball guide groove. The side ball guide groove is tilted downward from the outside to the inside, and the inner end surface of the side ball guide groove is flush with the rear side of the bottom surface of the front ball guide groove. At the same time, a ball separation mechanism 7 is also provided on the top of the silo behind the partition. The ball separation mechanism is provided in the rear cavity, and a discharge port 20 connected to the rear cavity is provided on the left and right sides of the top of the silo. The ball separation mechanism is located at the rear side of the discharge port, and the two sides of the ball separation mechanism are directly opposite the discharge ports on both sides. In the present invention, tracks can be installed on both the left and right sides of the warehouse body. The tracks are installed in the shell 100. The top of the track is connected to the discharge port, and the bottom of the track is connected to the feed port. The lifting mechanism lifts the ball to the ball outlet, and the ball falls out from the ball outlet. The ball is rolled out from the discharge port on the corresponding side through the ball dividing mechanism. After rolling on the track, the ball rolls to the bottom of the track, and then rolls into the warehouse body through the feed port. After being guided by the ball guide groove (rolling from the side ball guide groove to the front ball guide groove, and then rolling to the front end of the front ball guide groove), it enters the front side of the partition from the ball outlet, and is lifted by the lifting mechanism, thereby realizing the circular rolling of the ball in the track toy, which is interesting and novel.

[0125] In this embodiment, when the lifting mechanism is in use, the ball flows back from the track to the feed port of the bin body, and then rolls forward to the goal port through the ball guide groove, and rolls to the front side of the partition through the goal port. At this time, the left lifting piece moves to the bottom of the bin body. When the ball falls from the front side of the goal port, it will fall onto the left ball-holding piece at the bottom, and the ball will be supported by the left ball-holding piece. The driving mechanism will drive the left lifting piece to move upward, and the right lifting piece will move downward at the same time. When the left lifting piece moves upward, it will synchronously drive the ball to move upward through the corresponding left ball-holding piece. Since the left ball-holding piece moves between the adjacent left ball-pushing pieces, when the ball When the top of the ball body contacts the bottom surface of the left ball-pushing piece above the ball body, since it is a ball body and the ball body is pushed upward by the left ball-holding piece, the surface of the ball body is an arc-shaped surface. Therefore, the left ball-pushing piece will give the ball a downward reaction force, which will push the ball to move to the right. Under the joint action of the left ball-pushing piece and the left ball-holding piece, the ball is pushed to the right and rolls away from the left ball-holding piece. At the same time, at this time, the right ball-holding plate at the bottom will be below the right side of the left ball-holding plate at the bottom, so that the ball will roll and fall to the top surface of the right ball-holding piece at the bottom, and then the left lifting piece will move downward, the right lifting piece will move upward, and the right ball-holding piece at the bottom will move downward. The ball-holding plate lifts the ball upward, and when the ball contacts the right ball-pushing piece above it, the ball is subjected to the upward thrust of the right ball-holding piece that supports the ball, and the outer surface of the ball is an arc-shaped surface. Therefore, the right ball-pushing piece will give the ball a downward reaction force, pushing the ball to the left. Under the joint action of the right ball-pushing piece and the right ball-holding piece, the ball is pushed to roll to the left and separate from the right ball-holding piece. At this time, the second left ball-holding plate from bottom to top on the left side will be below the left side of the bottom right ball-holding plate, and the ball will roll and fall to the top surface of the left ball-holding piece. Then the left lifting piece moves upward, and the right lifting piece moves downward. During this process, the left lifting member will also hold a ball rolling into the ball port and move it upward, and the cycle will continue until the ball is lifted upward (the lifting trajectory is: rolling from the left ball pushing member to the adjacent right ball pushing member, and then rolling to the top of the adjacent left ball pushing member, each time passing through a group of left ball pushing members and right ball pushing members from bottom to top), until the ball is pushed to the top surface of the top left ball supporting member by the top right ball pushing member, and then the left ball supporting member moves to the top, and the ball will roll backward, pass through the ball outlet and roll to the back side of the partition, and be guided by the ball dividing mechanism and sent out from a discharge port to the top of the track, and so on. In this process, multiple balls can be lifted at the same time (each ball is at the same time on a left ball supporting member or on the right ball supporting member at the same time, because when the left lifting member moves upward, it lifts the balls on each left ball supporting member upward, and then all the balls roll to the right and fall onto the right ball supporting member). The number of balls that can be lifted at the same time depends on the number of left ball supporting members and right ball supporting members.

[0126] As shown in Figures 7 to 9 and 14 to 16, a slide plate 65 is provided directly above the ball guide groove 61, and a vertical guide rod 66 is provided on the warehouse body 1 next to the ball guide groove 61. The slide plate 65 is slidably set on the vertical guide rod 66, and a ball stop member 67 is provided at the bottom of the slide plate 65. The ball stop member 67 is arranged directly opposite the ball guide groove 61; wherein, the ball stop member and the slide plate are arranged above the front ball guide groove and close to the front ball guide groove.

[0127] When the slide plate 65 moves to the bottom of the vertical guide rod 66 , the ball blocking member 67 is inserted into the ball guide groove 61 , and the ball blocking member 67 is disposed at the rear side of the ball entrance 14 .

[0128] A right side rod 68 is provided on the right side of the slide plate 65, and a push rod 325 extending backward is provided on the rear side of the bottom of the right lifting member 32. The push rod 325 is provided directly below the right side rod 68.

[0129] When the right lifting member 32 moves upward, the push rod 325 moves upward and contacts the bottom surface of the right rod 68, driving the slide plate 65 to move upward, so that the ball blocking member 67 moves above the rear side of the ball hole 14;

[0130] When the right lifting member 32 moves downward, the slide plate 65 moves downward due to gravity, causing the ball blocking member 67 to move to the rear side of the ball hole 14 .

[0131] In this embodiment, multiple balls may be placed on the track toy in sequence. Therefore, multiple balls may flow back into the ball guide groove at once. When the left lifting member moves upward, the bottom left ball holding member moves to the top of the goal hole, causing the ball to roll forward from the goal hole and fall to the bottom of the bottom left ball holding member, making it impossible for the left ball pushing member to continue to move downward to hold the ball up. Therefore, in this embodiment, a slide plate and a ball blocking member are provided, and the slide plate and the ball blocking member are provided near the rear side of the partition, that is, the ball blocking member is provided near the rear side of the goal hole. By providing the right rod and the push rod, the ball can be blocked by the ball blocking member. When the left lifting member moves upward, the right lifting member will move downward. Due to the weight of the slide plate itself, it will move downward along the vertical guide rod. There are two vertical guide rods, which are provided on the left and right sides of the front end of the front ball guide groove respectively. The two sides of the slide plate are slidably connected to the two guide rods. When the slide moves downward, the ball blocking member will also move downward, thereby blocking the ball and preventing the ball from moving forward and being limited in the ball guide groove, and will not roll forward from the ball opening to the front side of the partition. When the left lifting member moves downward, the right lifting member will move upward at the same time. At this time, the push rod on the rear side of the right lifting member will follow and move upward, and it will contact the bottom surface of the right rod. When the push rod drives the right rod to move upward along the vertical guide rod, it will also drive the slide plate and the ball blocking member to move upward, so that the ball blocking member will be separated from the ball and the limit on the ball will be released. At this time, the ball can roll forward into the goal hole, and at this time, the bottom left ball holding plate will move to the front side of the goal hole (when it is in front of the goal hole, the bottom left ball holding plate will block the ball from moving forward and falling), or move to the bottom of the goal hole (wherein, when the right lifting member moves to the bottom, there is a vertical spacing between the push rod and the right rod. Therefore, the right lifting member moves upward a certain distance, and the left lifting member moves downward, so that when the bottom ball holding member moves to the front side or below the goal hole, the ball blocking member will release the limit on the ball), thereby ensuring the normal movement of the ball.

[0132] Furthermore, when the right lifting member moves downward and releases the upward force on the slide, a counterweight is installed on the slide to increase the weight of the slide and ensure that the slide can quickly descend and the ball block can stop the ball. In this embodiment, a mounting groove 63 is provided in the middle of the slide 65, and the counterweight is installed in the mounting groove. This does not increase the space occupied by the slide and can also increase the weight of the slide. In this embodiment, the counterweight (not shown in the figure) can be directly made of a metal sphere. Directly using a ready-made accessory is also more cost-effective. The metal sphere can be installed in the mounting groove by bonding.

[0133] 7 to 9, 12, 13 and 17, the ball baffle 67 includes two ball baffle plates 671 symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the slide. The bottom surfaces of the ball baffle plates 671 are arranged below the bottom surface of the slide 65, and a distance is provided between the two ball baffle plates 671. An arc-shaped ball baffle groove 672 is provided on the bottom surface of each ball baffle plate 671.

[0134] Among them, the arc-shaped ball-blocking groove is set downward from the back to the front, and the distance between the two ball-blocking plates matches the diameter of a sphere. The arc-shaped ball-blocking groove will match the surface of the sphere. In this way, when the slide plate moves downward, the arc-shaped ball-blocking groove of the front ball-blocking plate will push the sphere on the rear side to move backward, so that the sphere is between the two ball-blocking plates. The sphere is blocked by the two ball-blocking plates so that it cannot roll forward into the goal hole. The arc-shaped ball-blocking groove of the rear ball-blocking plate will push the rear sphere to move backward, so that there is only one sphere between the two ball-blocking plates. In this way, only one ball can pass through the goal hole and enter the front side of the partition at a time.

[0135] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG17 , the ball distribution mechanism 7 includes a top mounting plate 71 and a ball distribution plate 72. The top mounting plate 72 is mounted in the chamber 1 behind the partition 10. A ball outlet guide groove 79 is provided on the top mounting plate 71. The bottom surface of the ball outlet guide groove 79 is tilted downward from front to back. The front end of the ball outlet guide groove faces the ball outlet, and the front end bottom surface of the ball outlet guide groove is below the rear end of the bottom surface of the ball outlet. In this way, when the ball rolls backward from the ball outlet, it will fall into the ball outlet guide groove 79 and can roll backward from the ball outlet guide groove. The bottom center of the ball distribution plate 72 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the top mounting plate 71 through a longitudinal rod 73. The top surface of the ball distribution plate 72 is below the rear side of the ball outlet guide groove 79. A rear baffle 74 is provided on the rear side of the top surface of the ball distribution plate 72. In one embodiment, referring to Figures 20 to 22, a middle partition plate may be provided in the middle of the top surface of the ball dividing plate. The middle partition plate is arranged perpendicular to the rear baffle plate. The rear end of the middle partition plate is vertically connected to the middle of the rear baffle plate. The front end of the middle partition plate 701 is arranged flush with the front side surface of the ball dividing plate. The left and right limit members 75 and 76 are provided on the rear side surface of the top mounting plate under the longitudinal rod. When the ball dividing plate is rotated to the left, the left bottom side of the ball dividing plate will abut against the left limit member and be restricted from rotating to the left by the left limit member. At this time, the front end of the middle partition plate will be close to the left side of the ball outlet guide groove. When the ball rolls backward and falls, it will fall on the ball dividing plate on the right side of the middle partition plate. Due to the deadweight of the ball, it will drive the middle partition plate to rotate to the right, so that the right side of the ball dividing plate is tilted downward, and the right bottom side of the ball dividing plate will be limited by the right limit member. At this time, the ball moves to the right along the inclined ball dividing plate. At this time, the right side discharge port will be set directly opposite the ball, and the ball will be sent out from the right side discharge port (and after the ball leaves the ball dividing plate, since the middle partition plate is biased to the right side of the longitudinal rod, the center of gravity of the partition plate will be biased to the right, so the partition plate will not rotate and remain in its original state). At this time, the front end of the middle partition plate will be set close to the right side of the ball outlet guide groove. When the next ball rolls backward and falls, it will fall on the ball dividing plate on the left side of the middle partition plate. Due to the weight of the ball, it will drive the middle partition plate to rotate to the left, causing the left side of the ball dividing plate to be tilted downward. The bottom left side of the ball dividing plate will be limited by the right limiter. At this time, the ball will roll to the left along the inclined ball dividing plate. At this time, the discharge port on the left will be set directly opposite the ball, and the ball will be sent out from the discharge port on the left (and after the ball leaves the ball dividing plate, since the middle partition plate is biased to the left side of the longitudinal rod, the center of gravity of the partition plate will be biased to the left, so the partition plate will not rotate and remain in its original state). In this way, tracks can be set on both sides of the warehouse body, and the balls can be sent to the tracks on the corresponding sides in turn. The ball dividing mechanism of this structure is suitable for lifting devices with tracks installed on both sides.In this embodiment, the ball inlet is located at the bottom of the partition, communicating with both the front and rear faces of the partition. The ball outlet is located above the ball distribution mechanism, i.e., there is a distance between the top of the partition and the top of the chamber body, allowing for the front end of the ball distribution mechanism to be mounted. Of course, the ball outlet can also be located above the partition, communicating with both the front and rear faces of the partition, depending on the actual situation.

[0136] The central partition plate is provided on the top surface of the ball distribution plate. This is for toys with tracks on both sides. If the track is only installed on one side of the housing, then the central partition plate is not provided on the top of the ball distribution plate. Therefore, in this embodiment, sockets 77 are provided on the rear side surfaces of the top mounting plate 71 on both sides below the longitudinal rod 73, and a plug rod 78 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the ball distribution plate 72. When the plug rod is inserted into the socket on the left side, the ball distribution plate 72 is tilted toward the lower right, so that the ball can only roll and fall to the right along the ball distribution plate 72. If the plug rod is inserted into the socket on the right side, the ball distribution plate 72 is tilted toward the lower left, and the ball will roll and fall to the left along the ball distribution plate. Depending on the location of the track installation and whether guide rails are installed on both sides, the ball distribution plate with the correct structure can be selected. In this structure, left and right limiters are not required, and the plug rod and socket can be used to directly limit the ball distribution plate.

[0137] Furthermore, in the present invention, a card slot or a slot can be set on the top surface of the ball dividing plate, the middle partition plate can be detachably installed in the card slot or the slot, and the insertion rod can also be detachably installed at the bottom of the ball dividing plate, so that it can be selected or adjusted according to whether the track is installed on one side of the lifting device or on both sides.

[0138] In the present invention, a socket, a left stopper, and a right stopper are provided on the rear side of the top mounting plate. There are two types of ball divider structures: one with a central divider but without a plug-in rod; the other with a plug-in rod but without a central divider. When rails are provided on both sides of the bin body, the ball divider with a central divider is selected and installed on the top mounting plate. When rails are provided on only one side of the bin body, the ball divider with a plug-in rod is selected and installed on the top mounting plate. You can choose according to the actual situation.

[0139] The present invention also provides a track toy, comprising the above-mentioned lifting device for track toys,

[0140] Ball outlets are provided on both sides above the warehouse body, and ball inlets are provided on both sides below the warehouse body;

[0141] The warehouse body is further provided with a track on at least one side, the upper ball opening of the track is arranged opposite to the ball outlet on one side of the warehouse body, and the ball drop opening of the track is arranged opposite to the ball opening below the ball outlet;

[0142] The track is installed in a shell.

[0143] In the present invention, a track can be provided on one side of the silo. If the track is provided on only one side of the silo, then the ball distributor plate will not be provided with a central partition plate, and a socket and plug rod structure will be adopted, so that the ball distributor plate is fixedly tilted toward the side where the track is installed, so that the balls can only roll and fall onto the track from the discharge port. If the track is provided on both sides of the silo, then the ball distributor plate will be connected in a rotating manner, with a central partition plate provided in the middle, and no socket and plug rod structure will be provided. In this way, when the ball distributor plate rotates, the balls can rotate onto the tracks on both sides respectively.

[0144] Referring to Figures 2 to 3e and 6, there is a horizontal spacing between the right side of the left ball pushing member 12 and the left side of the right ball pushing member 13, and the horizontal spacing value is greater than the diameter of the sphere. Among them, the vertical spacing value between the left ball pushing member and the adjacent right ball pushing member is greater than the diameter of the sphere, so that the ball can roll smoothly left and right, ensuring that when it falls from one ball supporting member to the ball supporting member on the opposite side, it will not be blocked by the left ball pushing member and the right ball pushing member.

[0145] 2 to 3e and 6, the bottom surface of the left-side ball pushing member 12 is tilted upward from left to right, and the bottom surface of the right-side ball pushing member 13 is tilted upward from right to left;

[0146] Each of the left-side ball-pushing members 12 is arranged on the left side between the adjacent right-side ball-pushing members 13, and a right-side ball-pushing member 13 is arranged on the right side between the adjacent left-side ball-pushing members 12. Among them, the number of left-side ball-pushing members will be one less than the number of right-side ball-pushing members, mainly to facilitate the left-side ball-holding member to receive and send out the ball. Of course, in the present invention, left and right sides are just a relative position. If the ball inlet and the ball outlet are arranged below and above the right-side ball-pushing member, then the number of right-side ball-pushing members is one less than the number of left-side ball-pushing members, and the same adaptive adjustment can be made to the left-side lifting member and the corresponding ball-holding member above the right-side lifting member on the right side. In this way, each left-side ball-holding member is arranged between adjacent left-side ball-holding members, and each right-side ball-pushing member is arranged between adjacent right-side ball-holding members, that is, the positions of the left-side lifting mechanism, the left-side ball-pushing member, the right-side lifting mechanism, and the right-side ball-pushing member can be swapped.

[0147] In this embodiment, the bottom surfaces of the left ball pushing member and the right ball pushing member are inclined surfaces, which makes it easier to push the ball away from the corresponding ball holding member, causing it to roll toward the other side and fall onto the ball holding member on the other side.

[0148] 2 to 3 e and 6 , the left side ball pushing member 12 includes a left side ball pushing plate 121 , which is arranged upwardly and tilted from left to right, and the left end of the left side ball pushing plate 121 is arranged close to the right side surface of the left side lifting member 31 ;

[0149] The right ball pushing member 13 includes a right ball pushing plate 131 , which is arranged upward and tilted from right to left, and the right end of the right ball pushing plate 131 is arranged close to the left side of the right lifting member 32 .

[0150] The left-side ball pushing member 12 also includes a left-side blocking plate 122, which is arranged upwardly and tilted from right to left, and the right end of the left-side blocking plate 122 is connected to the right end of the left-side ball pushing plate 121, and the left end of the left-side blocking plate 122 is arranged directly above the left-side ball pushing plate 131; the right-side ball pushing member 131 also includes a right-side blocking plate 132, which is arranged upwardly and tilted from left to right, and the left end of the right-side blocking plate 132 is connected to the left end of the right-side ball pushing plate 13, and the right end of the right-side blocking plate 132 is arranged directly above the right-side ball pushing plate 131.

[0151] In this embodiment, the left lifting member and the right lifting member are a vertical plate, so that a V-shaped opening that opens upwards is formed between the left ball pushing plate and the left lifting member, and a V-shaped opening that opens upwards is also formed between the right ball pushing plate and the right lifting member. If the ball accidentally falls, it may fall into this V-shaped opening and be stuck and limited. Therefore, in the present invention, an inclined left blocking plate and a right blocking plate are provided. In this way, even if the ball falls to one side and does not fall on the corresponding ball holding plate, it will be blocked by the corresponding blocking plate so that it will not be stuck in the V-shaped opening, and will be guided by the inclined blocking plate to fall to the other side, so that it will definitely fall on one of the ball holding plates. Among them, the left blocking plate and the left ball pushing plate form a V-shaped structure that opens to the left, and the right blocking plate and the right ball pushing plate form a V-shaped structure that opens to the right.

[0152] Referring to Figures 2 to 3e and 7 to 13, there is a horizontal distance between the right side of the left ball holding piece 310 and the left side of the right ball holding piece 320. The horizontal distance value is smaller than the radius of the sphere, so that when the ball falls from the left ball holding piece to the right, it can fall smoothly on the right ball holding piece, and when the ball falls from the right ball holding piece to the left, it can fall smoothly on the left ball holding piece.

[0153] The right end of the left ball supporting member 310 and the left end of the right ball supporting member 320 are arranged in the horizontal distance between the left ball pushing member 12 and the right ball pushing member 13. In this way, when a ball falls from one ball supporting member, it will not fall on the corresponding ball pushing member, but will be supported by the ball supporting member on the opposite side, thereby ensuring the lifting stability and quality of the ball.

[0154] 2 to 3e and 7 to 13, the left ball holding member 310 includes a left ball holding plate 311, a top of the left ball holding plate 311 is provided with a left ball holding groove 312, and the bottom surface of the left ball holding groove 312 is a left inclined surface inclined upward from left to right;

[0155] The right ball holding member 320 includes a right ball holding plate 321, a top of the right ball holding plate 321 is provided with a right ball holding groove 322, and the bottom surface of the right ball holding groove 322 is a right inclined surface that tilts upward from right to left;

[0156] The right side of the left ball holding groove 312 is connected to the right side of the left ball holding plate 311 ; the left side of the right ball holding groove 322 is connected to the left side of the right ball holding plate 321 .

[0157] The top surface of the left ball holding plate 311 on the rear side of the left ball holding groove 312 is arranged below the rear side of the top surface of the left ball holding plate 311 on the front side of the left ball holding groove 312;

[0158] The top surface of the right ball holding plate 321 on the rear side of the right ball holding groove 322 is arranged below the rear side of the top surface of the right ball holding plate 321 on the front side of the right ball holding groove 322;

[0159] The rear side surface of the left ball holding plate 311 and the rear side surface of the right ball holding plate 321 are arranged close to the front side surface of the partition plate 10.

[0160] In this embodiment, the height of the top surface of the ball holding plate on the rear side of the ball holding trough (the left ball holding trough or the right ball holding trough) is lower than the height of the top surface of the ball holding plate on the front side of the ball holding trough (the left ball holding trough or the right ball holding trough). When the bottom of the ball is contacted by the corresponding ball holding plate, the bottom of the ball will be supported by the corresponding ball holding trough. In order to ensure that the ball can roll backward and fall into the ball outlet and fall out of the ball outlet, the rear side of the ball holding trough cannot limit the ball from rolling backward, but can play a certain supporting and limiting role. However, since the rear side of the ball holding plate will contact the front side of the partition, the front side of the ball holding trough will limit the ball and prevent it from rolling forward and falling. In this way, when the ball holding plate moves upward, the rear side of the ball will contact the partition. When the ball moves to the ball outlet, since the left ball holding plate moves upward, the rear side of the ball is no longer limited by the partition, so the ball will roll backward, so that the ball is sent out from the ball outlet, and the ball will not fall out from the front side of the ball holding trough. Furthermore, in order to prevent the ball from falling from the inner end of the ball holding plate when being lifted, the ball holding groove is inclined upward from the outside to the inside, that is, the bottom surface of the ball holding groove is an inclined surface, so that when the ball holding plate moves upward, it will be limited by the inclined surface at the bottom of the ball holding groove. Only when pushed by the ball pushing piece will the ball move inward from the inner end of the ball holding groove and fall.

[0161] 2 to 3 e and 7 to 13 , the left side inclined surface includes a left first inclined surface 313 and a left second inclined surface 314 connected to each other. The right side of the left second inclined surface 314 is connected to the right side of the left ball holding plate 311 , and the right side of the left first inclined surface 313 is connected to the left side of the left second inclined surface 314 . The left first inclined surface 313 and the left second inclined surface 314 are arranged to be inclined upward from left to right, and an angle of 100° to 170° is formed between the left first inclined surface 313 and the left second inclined surface 314 .

[0162] The right side inclined surface includes a right side first inclined surface 323 and a right side second inclined surface 324 connected to each other, the left side of the right side second inclined surface 324 is connected to the left side of the right ball holding plate 321, the left side of the right side first inclined surface 323 is connected to the right side of the right side second inclined surface 324, the right side first inclined surface 323 and the right side second inclined surface 324 are arranged to be inclined upward from right to left, and the angle between the right side first inclined surface 323 and the right side second inclined surface 324 is 100°~170°.

[0163] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the ball from vibrating in the process of lifting due to the up and down movement of the left and right lifting members, the ball may swing horizontally left and right in the ball holding groove. If the swing amplitude is too large, the ball may fall. Therefore, the corresponding inclined planes are provided with a first inclined plane and a second inclined plane (the first inclined plane on the left, the second inclined plane on the left, and the first inclined plane on the right, the second inclined plane on the right). A V-shaped structure is formed between the first inclined plane and the second inclined plane. The V-shaped structure and the inner side surface of the corresponding lifting member are used to limit the lateral rolling of the ball to ensure that the ball does not shake left and right during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the stability of the ball lifting and preventing it from falling. Moreover, the angle between the first inclined plane and the second inclined plane is preferably greater than 150°, and the angle is relatively small. In this way, when the ball is squeezed by the ball pushing member, the ball will be pushed to roll inward and upward along the second inclined plane and fall from the ball holding plate, causing the ball to fall onto the ball holding plate on the opposite side.

[0164] 7 to 13 , racks 21 are provided on the inner walls of the left lifting member 31 and the right lifting member 32 disposed on the rear side of the partition 10 ;

[0165] The driving mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a gear 52, and a sector gear 53. The gear 52 is disposed above or below the sector gear 53. In this embodiment, the gear 52 is disposed above the sector gear 53. The gear 52 and sector gear 53 are rotatably mounted in the chamber 1. Both sides of the gear 53 are respectively engaged with the racks 21 on both sides.

[0166] One end of the sector gear 53 is rotatably mounted in the bin body 1, and the other end is engaged with the rack 21 on one side;

[0167] The motor 51 is connected to the sector gear 53 via a connecting mechanism. The motor 51 drives the sector gear 53 to swing back and forth through the connecting mechanism, pushing the rack 21 on one side to move back and forth up and down, and drives the rack 21 on the other side to move synchronously through the gear 52.

[0168] A bracket 54 is installed in the chamber 1 on the rear side of the partition 10, and the driving mechanism is installed on the bracket 54;

[0169] The motor 51 is mounted on the rear side of the bracket 54, and the sector gear 53 and the gear 52 are rotatably connected to the front side of the bracket 54;

[0170] In this embodiment, a sector gear and a gear structure are used, so that the motor rotates in one direction all the time, and drives the sector gear to swing back and forth through the connecting mechanism. Since the sector gear meshes with the rack on one side, the reciprocating swing of the sector gear drives the lifting member on that side to move up and down reciprocally through the rack on that side. Since the gear meshes with the racks of the lifting members on both sides, when the rack on one side moves, it drives the gear to rotate. The rotation of the gear drives the rack on the opposite side to move relative to each other, thereby achieving the simultaneous movement of the left and right lifting members, but in opposite directions. Moreover, the motors rotate in the same direction all the time, making the operation of the left and right lifting members smoother and more stable.

[0171] 7 to 13 , the rack 21 includes a first rack 211 and a second rack 212 , wherein the first rack 211 is arranged on the inner wall at the rear end of the left lifting member 31 , and the second rack 212 is arranged on the inner wall at the rear end of the right lifting member 32 , or the first rack 211 is arranged on the inner wall at the rear end of the right lifting member 32 , and the second rack 212 is arranged on the inner wall at the rear end of the left lifting member 31 .

[0172] Two sides of the gear 52 are respectively engaged with the first rack 211 and the second rack 212 , and the sector gear 53 is engaged with the second rack 212 .

[0173] In this embodiment, the first rack is arranged on the rear end inner wall of the left lifting member, and the second rack is arranged on the rear end inner wall of the right lifting member. Since the second rack needs to engage with the gear and the fan gear, in this embodiment, the length of the second rack will be greater than the length of the first rack.

[0174] Of course, in the present invention, the first rack can also be set on the rear end inner wall of the right lifting member, and the second rack can be set on the rear end inner wall of the left lifting member, which does not affect the driving mechanism to drive the movement of the left and right lifting members.

[0175] Among them, there is a groove 55 on the inner wall of the rear end of the corresponding lifting member, and the rack is set in the groove. In this way, when the fan gear and the gear and rack are engaged, it will limit the forward and backward movement of the corresponding lifting member, prevent the forward and backward movement of the lifting member, and realize the forward and backward limitation of the lifting member, so that the lifting member can only move up and down along the vertical slide groove. At the same time, in order to facilitate the assembly of the gears and sector gears with the racks on both sides, a notch 56 and a groove 55 are provided on the rear end face of the corresponding lifting member. There is only one notch 56 at the first rack 211, which is convenient for the convex teeth of the gear to be inserted into the groove through the notch and engage with the rack. There are two notches on the second rack, which are convenient for the gears and sector gears to be inserted into the groove and engage with the rack. The width of the notch is relatively small, because the convex teeth on the gears and sector gears that engage with the rack at the same time generally do not exceed 3. In this way, when the driving lifting member moves, the gears and sector gears will not all correspond to the notches. Only when they are in the meshing position at a specific position, the convex teeth of the gears and sector gears will face the notches. This ensures that when the driving mechanism is working, the gears and sector gears will not face the notches most of the time, which can limit the lifting member and ensure the smoothness and stability of the movement of the lifting member.

[0176] 7 to 13 , 18 and 19 , one end of the sector gear 53 is rotatably connected to the bracket 54 via the rotating shaft 57 , and the other end is engaged with the second rack 212 ;

[0177] A connecting shaft 58 is provided in the middle of the sector gear 53. The connecting mechanism includes a driving disc 59 and a driving rod 501. The driving disc 59 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the bracket 54. The motor 51 is configured to drive the driving disc 59 to rotate. The output shaft at the front end of the motor is connected to the middle of the driving disc. When the motor output shaft rotates, the driving disc is driven to rotate.

[0178] A mounting rod 502 is provided on the front end surface of the driving disk 59, and the mounting rod 502 is arranged away from the axis of the driving disk 59; one end of the driving rod 501 is rotatably connected to the mounting rod 502, and the other end of the driving rod 501 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 58;

[0179] When the motor 51 drives the driving disk 59 to rotate, the driving rod 501 drives the sector gear 53 to swing back and forth around the bracket 54 .

[0180] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism is a crank-connecting rod structure, so that when the output shaft of the motor rotates toward the same side, it can drive the sector gear to swing back and forth through the rotating shaft and the bracket, thereby realizing the reciprocating vertical movement of the lifting member.

[0181] 7 to 13 , 18 and 19 , the bracket 54 is provided with an arcuate groove 503 , which is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft. One end of the connecting shaft 58 is rotatably connected to the driving rod 501 , and the other end of the connecting shaft 58 is arranged in the arcuate groove 503 .

[0182] When the sector gear 53 swings around the bracket 54 via the rotating shaft 57 , the connecting shaft 58 slides in the arc groove 503 .

[0183] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the sector gear, the middle part of the connecting shaft is connected to the middle part of the sector gear through the setting of the arc groove, and its two ends are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the sector gear, so that the rear end of the sector gear will move in the arc groove. In this way, when the sector gear rotates around the bracket, the movement of the connecting shaft in the arc groove ensures that the swing trajectory of the sector gear is stable.

[0184] 1 and 10 , a clearance slot 23 is provided on the top and bottom of the bin body, respectively. The clearance slot is provided on the front side of the partition. A cover plate 24 is detachably mounted on each of the clearance slots. When the cover plate is mounted on the clearance slot, the cover plate will close the corresponding clearance slot.

[0185] The top and bottom of the left lifting member and the right lifting member are both provided with connecting slots 25 .

[0186] At least one bin body is detachably mounted on the top of the bin body, and a lifting mechanism is mounted on the upper bin body and a plurality of partitions with left and right ball pushing members are mounted on the front side;

[0187] Two connecting clips are further provided between the adjacent bin bodies, and the two ends of one connecting clip are respectively inserted into the connecting clip groove at the bottom of the left lifting member of the upper bin body and the connecting clip groove at the bottom of the left lifting member of the lower bin body, and the connecting clip connects the two left lifting members;

[0188] The two ends of the other connecting clip are respectively inserted into the connecting slot at the bottom of the right lifting member of the upper warehouse body and the connecting slot at the bottom of the right lifting member of the lower warehouse body, and the connecting clip connects the two right lifting members.

[0189] When the driving mechanism drives the left lifting member and the right lifting member in the lower bin body to move, the left lifting member and the right lifting member in the upper bin body are driven to follow and move via the corresponding connecting clips.

[0190] In this embodiment, the lifting device is an extendable structure, that is, the height that the sphere can be lifted can be extended. Therefore, removable clearance grooves are set at the top and bottom of the warehouse body, and the clearance grooves connect the front cavity and the outer wall of the warehouse body. Taking a single length height of N as an example, if the user only needs to lift the sphere of this height N, then one warehouse body can be used. If the user needs to lift the sphere of 2N height, the cover plate on the top of the lower warehouse body and the cover plate on the bottom of the upper warehouse body are removed, the clearance grooves are opened, and then a warehouse body is installed above the bottom warehouse body, which can be lifted by the corresponding quick release mechanism. A connecting mechanism (not shown) connects the two bins so that the front cavities of the two bins are completely connected. The upper bin structure is identical to the lower bin structure, and the structure of the lifting mechanism is also identical. In addition, a ball-dividing mechanism is also provided in the upper bin, and the upper bin also has a feed port and a discharge port, which are exactly the same as the lower bin structure, but the upper bin does not have a driving mechanism. Then, by setting a connecting strip and a connecting slot, the lifting mechanism of the upper bin is connected to the lifting mechanism of the lower bin, that is, the height of the left and right lifting members is extended, so that the lifting height of the ball is higher. Similarly, the track installed beside the lifting device can be longer and higher, and the track can also be a splicable structure, so that the two can match. Of course, three, four, or even more bins can also be installed in sequence on the bin equipped with the driving mechanism, and the adjacent left and right lifting members are connected by connecting strips, so that a driving mechanism can drive the longer lifting member to move. However, considering the driving force of the motor, it is generally not recommended to install too many bins. You can choose according to the motor model.

[0191] If the ball outlet is located above the partition, the ball outlet of the lower bin is blocked with a plug to ensure that the ball can be lifted from the lower bin into the upper bin and discharged through the upper bin. If the ball outlet is located above the ball distribution mechanism, and there is a gap between the top of the partition and the top of the bin, then the gap is equal to the width of the cover, and a snap-in groove is provided in the bin directly above the partition. The cover is directly inserted into the snap-in groove to block the gap between the partition and the top surface of the bin, so that the ball can smoothly pass through the connection between the two bins and enter the upper bin to be lifted.

[0192] This method is more playable and has greater scalability.

[0193] Example 2: A lifting device for a track toy, the structure of which is basically similar to that of Example 1, except that racks are provided on the inner walls of the left lifting member and the right lifting member disposed on the rear side of the partition respectively;

[0194] The driving mechanism includes a motor and a gear, the gear is rotatably mounted in the compartment body behind the partition, the two sides of the gear are respectively engaged with the racks on both sides, and the motor is configured to drive the gear to rotate;

[0195] When the gear rotates, the left lifting member and the right lifting member are driven to move simultaneously, and the movement directions of the left lifting member and the right lifting member are opposite.

[0196] In this embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that the driving mechanisms of the two are different. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism adopts a combination of a motor and a gear. The motor drives the gear to rotate forward and reverse reciprocatingly, that is, the output shaft of the motor drives the gear to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, and then the output shaft of the motor drives the gear to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, that is, the gear rotates clockwise by a predetermined angle, and then rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle. Thereby, the left lifting member and the right lifting member are driven to move vertically at the same time, and the movement directions of the two are opposite. In this embodiment, the structure of its driving mechanism is simpler than that of the first embodiment. However, it also has some shortcomings compared with the first embodiment, because the output shaft of the motor will pause slightly between forward and reverse rotation. However, the structure is simpler. Therefore, there are many options for the driving mechanism, and the one to be selected can be selected according to the actual situation.
