Detailed Implementation

[0093] The technical solution of this disclosure will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0094] Referring to Figures 1 to 21, a toy car includes: a frame body 1, two side wings 2, and two sets of connecting members. The frame body 1 has a seat 11 for riding on. The two side wings 2 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the frame body 1. Each side wing 2 has a folded position that is close to the frame body 1, and an unfolded position that is open relative to the frame body 1. The two sets of connecting members are located on opposite sides of the frame body 1, and each side wing 2 has a connecting member that can be folded.

[0095] The toy car has a convertible first state and a second state. When the toy car is in the first state, both side wings 2 are in the unfolded position, and the connecting parts are unfolded in the left and right directions between the side wings 2 and the frame body 1. At this time, the connecting parts form a wing-like structure on both sides of the frame body 1, making the overall appearance of the toy car cooler. When the toy car is in the second state, the side wings 2 are in the folded position, and the connecting parts are folded in the left and right directions.

[0096] In this embodiment, the connector includes at least one flexible connector 3, which can be made of cloth or other soft materials. The flexible connector 3 is directly connected between the frame body 1 and the side wings 2. Specifically, each side wing 2 has a first end 21 and a second end 22 located at opposite ends along its length. The first end 21 is movably connected to the frame body 1, and the flexible connector 3 is disposed between the first end 21 and the second end 22 along its length.

[0097] In other embodiments, the connector further includes a folding mechanism disposed between the side wing 2 and the frame body 1. This folding mechanism is foldable in the left-right direction and can be a cross brace assembly, a connecting rod assembly, a crank-slider mechanism, or other structures, allowing the side wing 2 to open or retract relative to the frame body 1. The flexible connector 3 covers the folding mechanism and is located between the side wing 2 and the frame body 1. With this structure, the flexible connector 3 can be fixed to the folding mechanism, fixed between the side wing 2 and the frame body 1, or fixed to the folding mechanism and the side wing 2 and / or the frame body 1.

[0098] The flexible connector 3 has a first side 31 and a second side 32. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first side 31 is fixed to the side wing 2 along its length, and at least a portion of the second side 32 is fixed to the frame body 1 along its length. When the side wing 2 and the frame body 1 are folded together, the first side 31 and the second side 32 move closer together. In other embodiments, when the connector includes the folding mechanism and the flexible connector 3 as described above, at least a portion of the first side 31 is fixed to the side wing 2 along its length or to the side of the folding mechanism near the side wing 2, and at least a portion of the second side 32 is fixed to the frame body 1 along its length or to the side of the folding mechanism near the frame body 1. When the side wing 2 and the frame body 1 are folded together, the first side 31 and the second side 32 also move closer together.

[0099] The following uses the orientation observed by the user while driving the toy car from seat 11 as a reference to define the directions of front, back, left, right, up, and down, in order to clearly illustrate the relative positional relationships of the components in the toy car of this embodiment. It should be noted that this orientational relationship is different from the orientation of the six views in Figures 1 to 6 and Figures 16 to 21, which use the main view as the observation angle. Instead, it uses Figure 2 as a reference, where the up and down direction in Figure 2 is the up and down direction observed while driving, and the left side of Figure 2 is front and the right side is back; and using Figure 1 as a reference, the upper side in Figure 1 is right and the lower side is left, as detailed in the schematic markings in Figures 1 and 2.

[0100] Referring to Figures 1 to 21, in this embodiment of the toy car, the frame body 1 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the seat 11 is located on the frame body 1 and is positioned relatively far back; two side wings 2 and two sets of connecting parts are respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame body 1, wherein the first end 21 of the side wing 2 is in front and the second end 22 is in the back, the first end 21 is connected to the frame body 1, and the first end 21 is also located in front of the seat 11; the second end 22 of each side wing 2 is also provided with a handle 23, so that when the user sits on the seat 11, both hands can be gripped on the handles 23 on both sides, which is convenient for maintaining body balance and controlling the toy car.

[0101] Referring to the accompanying drawings, in this embodiment, a first mounting groove 24 is provided on the side wing 2, and a first edge 31 is received in the first mounting groove 24 along the thickness direction. A first fastener (not shown in the figures) for fixing the first edge 31 to the side wing 2 is also provided on the side wing 2. This first fastener has two or more sets spaced apart along the length direction of the side wing 2. Similarly, a second mounting groove 15 is provided on the frame body 1, and a second edge 32 is received in the second mounting groove 15 along the thickness direction. A second fastener 17 for fixing the second edge 32 to the frame body 1 is also provided on the frame body 1. This second fastener 17 has two or more sets spaced apart along the length direction of the frame body 1. The aforementioned first fastener and second fastener 17 can be components such as screws. In other embodiments, the first mounting slot 24 and the second mounting slot 15 may not be provided. Instead, the first side 31 and the second side 32 may be fixed to the side wing 2 or the frame body 1 through the corners at both ends. For example, the corners of the first side 31 or the second side 32 may be directly fixed to the side wing 2 or the frame body 1 by screws.

[0102] In this embodiment, the flexible connector 3 also has a third side 33 and a fourth side 34. The third side 33 is located between the front end of the first side 31 and the front end of the second side 32, and the fourth side 34 is located between the rear end of the first side 31 and the rear end of the second side 32. The length of the third side 33 is greater than or equal to 0, while the length of the fourth side 34 is greater than the length of the third side 33. When the toy car is in the first state, the fourth side 34 is an arc shape that arches towards the third side 33. This makes the flexible connector 3 have better aesthetics between the side wing 2 and the frame 1 when it is unfolded.

[0103] In this embodiment of the toy car, the first end 21 of each side wing 2 is rotatably connected to the frame body 1, specifically by means of a pivot shaft that extends vertically along the axis of the pivot shaft. A connecting rod 9 is also provided between the side wing 2 and the frame body 1. One end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to one of the side wing 2 and the frame body 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is provided on the other side wing 2 and the frame body 1, which can both rotate relative to each other and slide in the front-back direction.

[0104] Here, one end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the side wing 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is mounted on the frame body 1, which can both rotate relative to the frame and slide in the front-back direction. Specifically, the frame body 1 is provided with a movable component 8, which can slide in the front-back direction and is rotatably connected to the movable component 8. The movable component 8 has a first position and a second position located behind the first position on the frame body 1. When the toy car is in the first state, the movable component 8 is in the first position; when the toy car is in the second state, the movable component 8 is in the second position. During the process of driving the movable component 8 to slide back and forth relative to the frame body 1, the side wings 2 on both sides can be driven by the connecting rod 9 to rotate relative to the frame body 1, thereby allowing the toy car to switch between the first state and the second state; or, when driving one side wing 2 to rotate relative to the frame body 1, under the action of the connecting rod 9 and the movable component 8, the other side wing 2 is also linked and rotates relative to the frame body 1, thereby allowing the toy car to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0105] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 9, the frame body 1 includes an upper shell 12, a lower shell 13, and a frame 14. The upper shell 12 and the lower shell 13 cooperate to form a receiving cavity, and the frame 14 is received in the receiving cavity. The seat 11 is disposed on the upper shell 12. The movable member 8 is disposed on the frame 14, and the first end 21 of the side wing 2 is also rotatably connected to the frame 14 via a pivot. The connecting rod 9 connects the side wing 2 and the movable member 8 and is received in the receiving cavity.

[0106] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the toy car in this embodiment also includes a wheel assembly. This wheel assembly includes a first wheel assembly 10 and a second wheel assembly 20 spaced apart along the front-rear direction at the bottom of the frame body 1, and a third wheel assembly 30 disposed at the bottom of the side wings 2 on both sides. The third wheel assembly 30 is located near the second end 22 of the side wing 2, and the third wheel assemblies 30 on both sides do not simultaneously support the ground. Thus, when the toy car tilts to one side, the third wheel assembly 30 on the corresponding side can support the ground, improving driving stability and providing a drifting experience. In this embodiment, the third wheel assembly 30 can be a swivel wheel assembly; in other embodiments, the third wheel assembly 30 can also be a directional wheel assembly. When the third wheel assembly 30 is a directional wheel assembly, its axis of rotation extends perpendicular to the forward direction of the toy car.

[0107] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the toy vehicle of this embodiment also includes a support frame 4, which has at least a support portion 41 located in front of the seat 11. When the user sits on the seat 11, their feet can be supported on the support portion 41. The support frame 4 is movably connected to the vehicle frame body 1, and the user can adjust the relative position between the support frame 4 and the vehicle frame body 1 according to the user's height, so that when the user sits on the seat 11, their feet can be supported on the support portion 41 in a more comfortable posture, improving riding comfort.

[0108] In this embodiment, the movement of the support frame 4 relative to the main frame 1 is independent of the movement of the side wings 2 relative to the main frame 1. This allows the support frame 4 to be adjusted regardless of whether the side wings 2 are in the extended or folded position. This enables the user to easily adjust the support position of their feet according to their height when the toy car is in its first state. Furthermore, when the toy car is in its second state, the support frame 4 can be pulled forward, moving away from the main frame 1 and unfolding relative to it, thus allowing the toy car to be upright for easy dragging. A grip 46 is also provided in the middle of the support frame 4, allowing the user to easily pull and drag the toy car by gripping this grip 46.

[0109] The toy car is also equipped with a first locking mechanism 5 and a second locking mechanism (not shown in the figure). The first locking mechanism 5 is located between the support frame 4 and the frame body 1, and is used to lock the support frame 4 and the frame body 1 together. The second locking mechanism is located between the frame body 1 and the side wing 2, and is used to lock the side wing 2 in the unfolded position and / or folded position. The toy car is also equipped with a first operating member 43 and a second operating member 7. The first operating member 43 is movably mounted on the frame body 1 or the support frame 4 and is used to unlock the first locking mechanism 5. The second operating member 7 is movably mounted on the frame body 1 or the side wing 2 and is used to unlock the second locking mechanism. The movements of the first operating member 43 and the second operating member 7 are independent of each other, so that the unlocking of the first locking mechanism 5 and the second locking mechanism are also independent of each other.

[0110] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 4 is slidably connected to the frame body 1 in the front-rear direction, and the support part 41 is always located in front of the frame body 1. The support frame 4 includes a support rod 42 extending in the front-rear direction. The support rod 42 has one or multiple rods arranged parallel to each other, and the support part 41 is located at the front of the support rod 42. The support rod 42 is slidably connected to the frame body 1 along its own length direction. The frame body 1 is provided with a sliding part 16 that can slide and cooperate with the support rod 42. By driving the support rod 42 to slide back and forth relative to the sliding part 16, the distance between the support part 41 and the seat 11 can be adjusted.

[0111] The first locking mechanism 5 is mounted on the support frame 4 and includes at least a first locking member 52, which is movably mounted on the support rod 42. The sliding portion 16 is provided with a plurality of first locking portions (not shown in the figure) for cooperating with the first locking member 52. When the first locking mechanism 5 is in the locked state, the first locking member 52 cooperates with one of the first locking portions to fix the support rod 42 relative to the frame body 1; when the first locking member 52 is in the unlocked state, the first locking member 52 disengages from the first locking portion, allowing the support rod 42 to slide back and forth relative to the frame body 1.

[0112] Referring to Figures 10 to 12, in this embodiment, the first locking member 52 is movably disposed on the support rod 42 along the length extension direction perpendicular to the support rod 42. The toy car also includes a first locking seat 51 and a first connecting member 6. The first locking seat 51 is movably disposed on the support rod 42 along the length extension direction of the support rod 42. A linkage structure is provided between the first locking seat 51 and the first locking member 52 so that when the first locking seat 51 moves relative to the support rod 42, it links the first locking member 52 to move, thereby enabling the first locking member 52 to engage or disengage with the first locking part.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the first lock seat 51 moves along the length extension direction of the support rod 42, the above-mentioned linkage structure causes the first locking member 52 to move along the length direction perpendicular to the support rod 42. Specifically, the linkage structure includes a linkage groove 53 and a linkage part 54. The linkage groove 53 is disposed on the first lock seat 51 and is inclined along the length extension direction of the support rod 42 from the side away from the first locking part to the side gradually approaching the first locking part. The linkage part 54 is disposed on the first locking member 52 and is slidably inserted into the linkage groove 53.

[0114] Here, the support rod 42 has a hollow rod cavity, the first lock seat 51 is slidably disposed in the hollow rod cavity, and the first locking member 52 has a locking tongue 52a that cooperates with the first locking part; a mounting groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the circumferential side wall of the support rod 42, the mounting groove is interconnected with the hollow rod cavity of the support rod 42, and the locking tongue 52a can be slidably disposed in the mounting groove along the radial direction of the support rod 42, and cooperate with the locking tongue 52a when it extends out of the hollow rod cavity.

[0115] The first connector 6 is connected between the first lock seat 51 and the first operating member 43 so as to drive the first lock seat 51 to move relative to the support rod 42 when the first operating member 43 is driven to move. Here, the first connector 6 is a traction cable with a connector head 6a at its end. The connector head 6a is connected to the first lock seat 51 by being embedded in the connecting hole on the first lock seat 51.

[0116] In this embodiment, the support rod 42 has two parallel and spaced-apart rods, and a connecting rod 45 is provided between the front parts of the two support rods 42. The first operating member 43 is disposed on the connecting rod 45 and located between the two support rods 42, and the first operating member 43 is configured to drive the first locking mechanism 5 to unlock when it moves forward. Specifically, the first operating member 43 can be configured as a grip, so that when the user holds the middle part of the connecting rod 45, he can hold the first operating member 43 and unlock the first locking mechanism.

[0117] The second locking mechanism is disposed between the frame body 1 and the side wing 2. In this embodiment, the second locking mechanism specifically includes a second locking member (not shown in the figure), which is disposed between the moving member 8 and the frame 14. After the moving member 8 is locked relative to the frame 14, the side wing 2 can be locked in the unfolded or folded position. The second locking mechanism can adopt a structure in the prior art, such as the cooperation of the locking tongue and the locking groove.

[0118] The second operating member 7 is connected to the moving member 8 and moves in the front-back direction, causing the moving member 8 to move back and forth relative to the frame body 1. Thus, after the second locking mechanism is unlocked by operating the second operating member 7, pulling the second operating member 7 in the front-back direction can cause the moving member 8 to move back and forth on the frame body 1, thereby driving the side wing 2 to open or fold relative to the frame body 1, and the operation is continuous.

[0119] Referring to Figure 13, the toy car is also equipped with a drive system 40 and an operating component 60. The drive system 40 is mounted on the frame body 1 and is used to drive the toy car to move. Specifically, the structure of the drive system 40 can adopt the structure of the prior art, which may include components such as a transmission mechanism connecting motors. When the power is turned on, the motor works and transmits motion through the transmission mechanism, thereby driving the wheels of the toy car to rotate and move the toy car. The operating component 60 is movably mounted on the support frame 4 and is used to start or stop the toy car. Here, the operating component 60 is specifically set as a foot pedal drive component, so that children can easily control the start and stop of the toy car by stepping on it. The operating component 60 and the drive system 40 are connected by a wire 50. The support frame 4 is also provided with a wire fixing part 44, and part of the wire 50 is fixed to the guide fixing part 44. During the back-and-forth sliding of the support frame 4 relative to the frame body 1, the wire 50 will not be excessively pulled and affect the connection between the operating component 60 and the drive system 40.

[0120] Referring to Figures 22 to 25, the toy car also includes a control system (not shown) and a trigger element 70. The control system is connected to the drive system 40 to control the operation of the drive system 40, thereby controlling, for example, the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the wheels, the rotational speed, and other operating states, and thus controlling the toy car's start, stop, forward and backward movement, and speed. The specific structure of the control system can adopt the structure in the prior art, but its specific structure is not the focus of this disclosure and will not be described in detail here.

[0121] The aforementioned control system has a connected state that is connected to the drive system 40, and a disconnected state that is disconnected from the drive system 40. In the connected state, the drive system 40 can receive control signals from the control system and operate according to the control signals; in the disconnected state, the drive system 40 cannot obtain control signals from the control system.

[0122] The trigger element 70 is connected to the control system. The trigger element 70 has a trigger state that sends a trigger signal. When the control system receives the trigger signal, it can switch from the disconnected state to the connected state. Conversely, if the trigger element 70 is not triggered, that is, if the trigger element 70 is in the non-trigger state, the control system cannot receive the trigger signal and remains in the disconnected state.

[0123] In this embodiment, when the side wing 2 changes from the folded position to the unfolded position, the trigger element 70 is triggered and switches to the triggered state. Therefore, the trigger element 70 can only be triggered when the side wing 2 is in the unfolded position, and the control system can switch to the connected state to control the drive system 40 to work; conversely, when the side wing 2 is not in the unfolded position, such as in the folded position or not fully unfolded, the control system is in the disconnected state. In this way, the drive system 40 can only work normally and the toy car can only move when the side wing 2 is fully unfolded, that is, when it is in the unfolded position. This effectively ensures the safety of children riding in the car and also avoids the risk of accidentally touching the control switch when the side wing 2 is not fully unfolded or in an unused state, thus improving the safety of using the toy car.

[0124] Specifically, referring to Figures 22 to 25, the trigger element 70 includes an element body 701 and a trigger portion 702. The trigger portion 702 is movably disposed on the element body 701, and the element body 701 is provided with a connecting portion (not shown in the figures). The trigger portion 702 has a trigger position and a non-trigger position. When the trigger portion 702 is in the trigger position, the trigger portion 702 is in contact with the connecting portion, and the trigger element 70 is in a triggered state. When the trigger portion 702 is in the non-trigger position, the trigger portion 702 is separated from the connecting portion, and the trigger element 70 is in a non-trigger state. In a specific configuration, the trigger portion 702 and the connecting portion are made of conductive material and are electrically connected when in contact, thereby switching to the trigger state and emitting a trigger signal.

[0125] In this embodiment, the trigger part 702 is rotatably disposed on the component body 701, and the connecting part is disposed on the rotation path of the trigger part 702. Specifically, the trigger part 702 can be a metal spring, one end of which is connected to the component body 701. When not subjected to external force, its length extension direction forms an acute angle with the component body 701. When subjected to external force, it undergoes elastic deformation and rotates relative to the component body 701. When the trigger part 702 moves toward the component body 701, reducing the included angle between the two, the trigger element 70 can switch from a non-triggering state to a triggering state.

[0126] In this embodiment, the movement of the movable member 8 drives the movement of the trigger part 702 relative to the element body 701. Specifically, the movement of the movable member 8 relative to the frame body 1 in the front-rear direction drives the movement of the trigger part 702 relative to the element body 701. Thus, in a specific configuration, when the side wing 2 is deployed relative to the frame body 1 to its deployed position, the movable member 8 also cooperates with the trigger element 70, causing the trigger part 702 to move relative to the element body 701 to the trigger position, allowing the trigger element 70 to switch to the triggered state at this time. Specifically, the movable member 8 is provided with a pressing part 82. When the pressing part 82 abuts against the trigger part 702, the trigger part 702 contacts the engaging part, causing the trigger element 70 to switch from the non-triggered state to the triggered state.

[0127] Specifically, the movable component 8 further includes a sliding seat 81, which is slidably connected to the frame body 1 and connected to the connecting rod 9. The pressing part 82 is rod-shaped, extending in the front-rear direction and suspended on the front side of the sliding seat 81. When the side wing 2 is in the above-mentioned unfolded position, the movable component 8 is in the first position, and the movable component 8 cooperates with the trigger element 70 to make the trigger element 70 in the triggered state; when the side wing 2 is in the folded position, the movable component 8 is in the second position located behind the first position, the movable component 8 is disengaged from the trigger element 70, and the trigger element 70 switches to the non-triggered state. In this embodiment, when the trigger element 70 is set, its trigger part 702 is connected to the end of the component body 701 near the movable component 8, that is, the rear end of the trigger part 702 is connected to the component body 701. During the process of the movable component 8 moving forward toward the trigger element 70, the pressing part 82 will cooperate with the trigger part 702 to make it move downward toward the component body 701, thereby causing the trigger element 70 to switch to the triggered state.

[0128] In summary, the toy car provided in this embodiment has the following characteristics:

[0129] (1) In this toy car, when the side wings 2 are unfolded relative to the main frame 1, the connecting parts unfold in the left and right direction between the side wings 2 and the main frame 1, making the toy car look cooler when it is moving. At the same time, in this toy car, the support frame 4 can be adjusted independently relative to the main frame 1, so that the toy car can be adapted to passengers of different heights. When the toy car is not in use, the side wings 2 and the connecting parts can be folded up relative to the main frame 1, so that the toy car can be transformed into the second state. Then, the support frame 4 can be pulled forward relative to the main frame 1, so that the toy car has a relatively long length, so that the toy car can be stood up, and the second wheel assembly 20 can be supported on the ground, making it easier to hold the support frame 4 to drag the toy car, which is more labor-saving.

[0130] (2) In this toy car, the support frame 4 can be adjusted independently relative to the main body 1 of the frame, so that the toy car can be adapted to passengers of different heights. When the toy car is not in use, the side wings 2 and the connecting parts can be folded up relative to the main body 1 of the frame, so that the toy car can be converted to the second state. Then, the support frame 4 can be pulled forward relative to the main body 1 of the frame, so that the toy car has a relatively long length, so that the toy car can be stood up, and the second wheel assembly 20 can be supported on the ground, making it easier to hold the support frame 4 to drag the toy car, which is more labor-saving.

[0131] (3) In this toy car, a trigger element 70 is provided. When the side wing 2 changes from the folded position to the unfolded position, the trigger element 70 is triggered and switches to the triggered state. In this way, the trigger element 70 can only be triggered when the side wing 2 is in the unfolded position, and the control system can switch to the connected state to control the drive system 40 to work; conversely, when the side wing 2 is not in the unfolded position, such as in the folded position or not fully unfolded, the control system is in the disconnected state. In this way, the drive system 40 can work normally and the toy car can only move when the side wing 2 is fully unfolded, which effectively ensures the safety of children when riding in the car, and also avoids the risk of accidentally touching the control switch when the side wing 2 is not fully unfolded or in a non-use state, thus improving the safety of using the toy car.
