Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spielfahrzeug für Spielfahrbahnen mit einem vom Fahrzeugchassis getragenen elektrischen Antriebsmotor, das durch Abschwenken der Vorderräder bei Fahrt an randseitigen Leitkörpern der Spielfahrbahnen abstützbar ist.The invention relates to a play vehicle for play lanes with an electric drive motor carried by the vehicle chassis, which can be supported by swiveling the front wheels when driving on edge-side guide bodies of the play lanes.

Bei Spielfahrzeugen ist es bekannt, die Vorderräder mittels getrennten Achsstummeln am einstückigen Chassis des Spielfahrzeuges zu halten und die Achsstummel über Hebelgetriebe in die eine oder andere Richtung abzuschwenken. Der Antrieb der Hebelgetriebe erfolgt vielfach über Rädergetriebe. Abgesehen davon, daß bei den bekannten Spielfahrzeugen durch die Vielzahl notwendiger Bauteile ein großer Fertigungsaufwand notwendig ist, sind diese Spielfahrzeuge infolge komplizierter Ausbildung in den Lenkfunktionen auch störanfällig.In the case of toy vehicles, it is known to hold the front wheels on the one-piece chassis of the toy vehicle by means of separate stub axles and to pivot the stub axles in one direction or the other via lever gears. The lever gearboxes are often driven via gearboxes. In addition to the fact that a large amount of production work is required in the known toy vehicles due to the large number of necessary components, these toy vehicles are also prone to failure due to the complicated design of the steering functions.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, bei Spielfahrzeugen der eingangs genannten Art den Aufwand an Bauteilen zu verkleinern und die Lenkfunktionen sicherer zu machen.It is an object of the invention to reduce the outlay on components in toy vehicles of the type mentioned at the beginning and to make the steering functions safer.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Fahrzeugchassis unter Bildung eines vorderen und eines rückwärtigen Chassisteils quergeteilt ist, daß die beiden Chassisteile durch einen Gelenkstift mit geringem Spiel dreh- und kippbeweglich verbunden sind, daß der rückwärtige Chassisteil den Antriebsmotor und der vordere Chassisteil eine gemeinsame Achse für die Vorderräder frei abschwenkbar trägt, daß die Achse mit einem plattenförmigen Fortsatz über den rückwärtigen Chassisteil greift und daß ein Abschnitt des Fortsatzes bei Fahrt zu Abschwenkungen der Achse mit einem in beiden Richtungen drehbaren Motorritzel bis zum Erreichen der einen oder anderen Schwenkstellung reibschlüssig kontaktiert und im Stand der Reibschluß von Fortsatz und Motorritzel aufgehoben ist. Bevorzugt weist dabei die Achse mittig zwischen der Vorderrädern, den Fortsatz und axial auf der dem Fortsatz abgewandten Seite einen nach vorne ragenden Ansatz für die Aufnahme einer Schwenkachse für die Vorderräderachse auf. Der weiteren Erfindung gemäß kann die Achse, der Fortsatz und der Ansatz durch einen gemeinsamen Formteil, z. B. Spritzformteil, gebildet sein. Auf diese Weise ist eine aus wenigen Teilen gebildete Lenkeinrichtung für das Spielfahrzeug geschaffen, die entsprechend der jeweiligen Drehrichtung des Motors bei Fahrt selbsttätig Abschwenkungen der Vorderräder zur einen oder anderen Seite vornimmt, während Abschwenkungen der Vorderräder im Stand unterbleiben. Die kippbewegliche Verbindung beider Chassisteile sorgt für den notwendigen Reibschluß von Fortsatz und Motorritzel bei Fahrt. Unter dem Einfluß der am rückwärtigen Chassisteil durch den Antriebsmotor ausgeübten Schubkraft kippt der vordere Chassisteil im Bereich des Gelenks nach vorne unten, wobei dann der Fortsatz an das Motorritzel angepreßt wird. Im Stand des Spielfahrzeugs hingegen kippt durch Fehlen einer Schubkraft der vordere Chassisteil mit seinem Fortsatz nach oben zurück und die Wirkverbindung von Fortsatz und Motorritzel wird aufgehoben. Schließlich führt die Anordnung des Ansatzes und die Ausbildung der Schwenkachse vor der Vorderräderachse gleichzeitig dazu, daß bei Fahrt des Spielfahrzeugs permanent ein Drehmoment auf die Achse ausgeübt wird, das im Sinne einer Ausrichtung von Achse und Vorderrädern in Längsrichtung des Fahrspielzeugs als Rückstellkraft wirkt. Es versteht sich, daß bei Fahrt die an der Achse wirksam werdenden Abschwenkkräfte größer als die Rückstellkraft sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Fahrspielzeugs führt somit dazu, daß durch einfache Umpolung und Drehrichtungsänderung des Antriebsmotors Abschwenkungen der Achse mit ihren Vorderrädern zur Herbeiführung einer Abstützung des Fahrspielzeugs an dem einen oder anderen Leitkörper, z. B. bei Spurwechsel, erfolgt.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the vehicle chassis is cross-divided to form a front and a rear chassis part, that the two chassis parts are rotatably and tiltably connected by a hinge pin with little play, that the rear chassis part the drive motor and the front chassis part a common Axle for the front wheels swings freely that the axis engages with a plate-shaped extension over the rear chassis part and that a section of the extension when driving to swivel the axis with a motor pinion rotatable in both directions until reaching one or the other swivel position frictionally contacted and in the state of friction of the extension and motor pinion is canceled. In this case, the axle preferably has a projection protruding forward for receiving a pivot axis for the front wheel axle in the center between the front wheels, the extension and axially on the side facing away from the extension. The further invention according to the axis, the extension and the approach through a common molding, z. B. injection molded part. In this way, a steering device formed from a few parts for the toy vehicle is created, which automatically swivels the front wheels to one side or the other according to the respective direction of rotation of the motor while driving, while swiveling the front wheels does not occur when the vehicle is stationary. The tiltable connection of the two chassis parts ensures the necessary frictional engagement of the extension and motor pinion when driving. Under the influence of the thrust force exerted on the rear chassis part by the drive motor, the front chassis part tilts forward and downward in the region of the joint, the extension then being pressed against the motor pinion. In the state of S pielfahrzeugs other hand, a thrust force of the front chassis member tilts by the absence of his extension top back and the operative connection of extension and motor pinion is canceled. Finally, the arrangement of the approach and the formation of the pivot axis in front of the front wheel axis simultaneously leads to a constant exertion of torque on the axle when the toy vehicle is traveling, which acts as a restoring force in the sense of an alignment of the axle and front wheels in the longitudinal direction of the toy vehicle. It is understood that when driving, the pivoting forces acting on the axle are greater than the restoring force. The inventive design of the toy thus leads to simple pivoting and changing the direction of rotation of the drive motor pivoting the axis with its front wheels to bring about support of the toy on one or the other guide body, for. B. when changing lanes.

Um bei abgeschwenkten Vorderrädern über die Dauer von Fahrbewegungen eine Entlastung des'Motorritzels zu erreichen, wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung des Spielfahrzeugs vorgeschlagen, daß der mit dem Motorritzel reibschlüssig kontaktierende Abschnitt des Fortsatzes zu beiden Seiten durch falzartige Rücksetzungen oder Nuten begrenzt ist und daß in der einen und anderen Schwenkendstellung der Achse, die Rücksetzungen oder die Nuten unterhalb des Motorritzels stehen. Hierdurch kann das Motorritzel in den Schwenkendstellungen der Achse behinderungsfrei und ohne Kraftverlust, z. B. zu Fahrbewegungen drehen, obwohl die Vorderachse in den Schwenkstellungen bei nach vorne abgekipptem vorderen Chassisteil verbleibt.In order to achieve a relief of the engine sprocket over the duration of driving movements when the front wheels are swiveled out, it is proposed in a further embodiment of the toy vehicle that the portion of the extension which makes frictional contact with the motor pinion is limited on both sides by fold-like resets or grooves and that in one and other pivoting end position of the axle, the resets or the grooves are below the motor pinion. As a result, the motor pinion in the pivoting end positions of the axis without hindrance and without loss of power, for. B. turn to driving movements, although the front axle remains in the swivel positions when the front chassis part is tilted forward.

The invention is illustrated using an exemplary embodiment. Here mean:
  • 1 is a chassis of a toy vehicle in plan view,
  • 2 shows a section of FIG. 1,
  • 3 a part of a toy vehicle in bottom view,

In den Fig. ist mit 1 das Chassis eines Spielfahrzeugs bezeichnet, das durch einen rückwärtigen Chassisteil 2 und einen vorderen Chassisteil 3 gebildet ist. Die beiden Chassisteile 2, 3 sind, wie insbesondere die Fig. 2 erkennen läßt, durch einen Gelenkstift 4 drehbeweglich miteinander verbunden. Der Gelenkstift 4 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel mit geringem Spiel in einer Ausnehmung 5 des Chassisteils 2 geführt, wodurch der Chassisteil 3 gegenüber dem Chassisteil 2 auch geringfügig abkippbar ist. Der Chassisteil 2 trägt einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor 6, der über ein Käfigwendegetriebe 7 mit Kronenrädern 8 und 9 kämmt, die auf einer Achse 10 für die Hinterräder 11 im Abstand voneinander fest aufgebracht sind. Bei Umläufen der Welle 12 des Antriebsmotors 6 können so Fahrbewegungen des Spielfahrzeugs nach vorne erreicht werden.In the figures, 1 denotes the chassis of a toy vehicle, which is formed by a rear chassis part 2 and a front chassis part 3. The two chassis parts 2, 3, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, are rotatably connected to one another by a pivot pin 4. The hinge pin 4 is guided in the embodiment with little play in a recess 5 of the chassis part 2, whereby the chassis part 3 can also be tilted slightly relative to the chassis part 2. The chassis part 2 carries an electric drive motor 6, which meshes via a cage reversing gear 7 with crown wheels 8 and 9, which are fixedly mounted on an axis 10 for the rear wheels 11 at a distance from one another. When the shaft 12 of the drive motor 6 rotates, driving movements of the toy vehicle can be achieved in the forward direction.

Auf der Welle 12 ist weiter ein Reibritzel 13 fest aufgebracht, das über einen Fortsatz 14 dreht, der mit der Achse 15 für die Vorderräder 16 fest verbunden, bevorzugt mit der Achse 15 einstückig ausgeformt ist, so daß bei Abschwenkungen des Fortsatzes 14 Schwenkbewegungen der Achse 15 entsprechend der Pfeile 17 erfolgen. Die Achse 15 ist mittels einer als Schwenkachse dienenden Schraube 18 mit dem Chassisteilbgelenkig verbunden. Die Schraube 18 durchgreift hierbei eine Bohrung in einem Ansatz 19, der die Achse 15 nach vorne überragt, wodurch bei Fahrt des Spielfahrzeugs selbsttätig eine Ausrichtkomponente zur Geradeausfahrt auf die Achse 15 ausgeübt wird.On the shaft 12, a friction pinion 13 is also firmly attached, which rotates via an extension 14 which is fixedly connected to the axle 15 for the front wheels 16, preferably integrally formed with the axle 15, so that when the extension is pivoted away 14 pivoting movements of the axle 15 take place according to the arrows 17. The axis 15 is articulated to the chassis part by means of a screw 18 serving as a pivot axis. The screw 18 passes through a hole in a shoulder 19, which the axis 15 to the front protrudes, whereby an alignment component for driving straight ahead is automatically exerted on the axis 15 when the toy vehicle is traveling.

In Ruhestellung, d. h. bei nichtdrehendem Antriebsmotor 6, kann die Achse 15,z. B. die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Stellung einnehmen. Die Vorderräder 16 nehmen dabei die Stellung für Geradeausfahrt ein. In dieser Stellung erfolgt unter dem Einfluß des Gewichts des Fortsatzes 14 eine Abkippbewegung nach rückwärts und die Reibverbindung von Fortsatz 14 und Reibritzel 15 ist, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, unterbrochen. Bei Anlegen des Antriebsmotors 6 an eine Stromquelle (nicht gezeigt) und Anfahren des Spielfahrzeugs wird unter dem Einfluß der Schubkraft ein nach vorne gerichtetes Kippmoment auf den Chassisteil 3 ausgeübt, der durch Abkippen den Fortsatz 14 im Bereich des Mittelabschnitts 14' mit dem Reib- ritzel 13 in reibschlüssige Wirkverbindung bringt (Fig. 3, 5). Entsprechend der Drehrichtung des Antriebsmotors 6 wird der Fortsatz 14 nach Links oder rechts geschwenkt. Dabei werden die Achse 15 und die Vorderräder 16 mitgeschwenkt. Bei Erreichen einer Endstellung (Fig. 3) steht das Reibritzel 13 jeweils oberhalb einer Rücksetzung 20 (Fig. 7), wodurch der Reibschluß von Fortsatz 14 und Reibritzel 13 beendet ist. In dieser Stellung des Fortsatzes 14 kann das Reibsritzel 13 ohne Motorverluste reibungsfrei weiterdrehen. Etwaige Rückstellungen des Fortsatzes 14, die unter dem Einfluß von Fahrbewegungen erfolgen, werden durch jeweils neuerliche Wirkverbindungen von Fortsatz 14 und Reibritzel 13 ausgeglichen.In the rest position, ie when the drive motor 6 is not rotating, the axis 15, for. B. assume the position shown in Fig. 1. The front wheels 16 assume the position for driving straight ahead. In this position, the extension 14 takes place under the influence of the weight of a Abkippbewegung backward and the friction joint of the extension 14 and R eibritzel 15, as shown in Fig. 4, interrupted. Upon application of the drive motor 6 (not shown) to a power source and starting of the vehicle toy is exerted under the influence of shear force, a forwardly directed tilting moment on the chassis member 3, by tilting the projection 14 in the region of the central portion 14 'with the R EIB pinion 13 brings into frictional operative connection (Fig. 3, 5). According to the direction of rotation of the drive motor 6, the extension 14 is pivoted to the left or right. The axle 15 and the front wheels 16 are also pivoted. When an end position (FIG. 3) is reached, the friction pinion 13 is above a reset 20 (FIG. 7), as a result of which the frictional engagement of extension 14 and friction pinion 13 is ended. In this position of the extension 14, the friction pinion 13 can continue to rotate without loss of motor. Any resets of the extension 14, which take place under the influence of driving movements, are compensated for by new operative connections between the extension 14 and the friction pinion 13.

Bei Beendigung der Fahrbewegungen wird der Chassisteil 3 wegen Fehlen der Schubkraft mit seinem Fortsatz 14 selbsttätig in die Stellung der Fig. 4 zurückgekippt. Dabei wird der Reibschluß von Fortsatz 14 und Reibritzel 13 aufgehoben und die Achse 15 kann unter der Einwirkung einer Ausrichtkraft um die Schraube 18 selbsttätig auf Geradeausfahrt zurückschwenken. Mit 21 sind Führungskörper für das Spielfahrzeug bezeichnet, die an seitlich mit den Fahrbahnen (nicht gezeigt) verbundenen Leitkörpern abstützbar sind.At the end of the driving movements, the chassis part 3 with its extension 14 is due to the lack of thrust automatically tilted back into the position of FIG. 4. In this case, the frictional engagement of the extension 14 and Reibritzel 13 is canceled and the axis 15 may be under the influence of a A usrichtkraft around the screw 18 automatically pivot back to straight. At 21 guiding body are denoted pielfahrzeug for the S (not shown) on the side with the roadways connected diffuser bodies are supportable.
