Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit einem Elektromotor für einen Spielzeugantrieb mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an arrangement with an electric motor for a toy drive with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind Elektromotoren zum Antrieb von beispielsweise Spielzeugkarussellen, Spielzeugwindrädem, Spielzeugwindmühlen oder fahrbaren Spielzeugmodellen wie beispielsweise Spielzeugautos bekannt. Die Elektromotoren sind vergleichsweise klein und leicht und weisen eine elektrische Leistungsaufnahme von einigen 10 mW auf. Die Anforderungen an die Stabilität einer mechanischen Befestigung eines derartigen Elektromotors an einem Spielzeugmodell sind dementsprechend gering da die aufzunehmenden Kräfte und Momente niedrig sind.There are known electric motors for driving, for example, toy carousels, toy windmills, toy windmills or mobile toy models such as toy cars. The electric motors are comparatively small and light and have an electrical power consumption of a few 10 mW. The requirements for the stability of a mechanical attachment of such an electric motor to a toy model are accordingly low because the forces and moments to be absorbed are low.

Aus der US-A-4,275,525 ist ein Elektromotor für Spielzeugmodelle wie beispielsweise eine Mühle, ein Radaraturm, eine Förderanlage oder ein Hebelgetriebe bekannt. Der Elektromotor ist in einem Gehäuse mit einer geneigten Oberseite untergebracht, die Solarzellen zum Antrieb des Elektromotors aufweist. Das Gehäuse mit dem Elektromotor ist am jeweiligen Spielzeugmodell befestigt.From US-A-4,275,525 an electric motor for toy models such as a mill, a Radaraturm, a conveyor or a lever mechanism is known. The electric motor is housed in a housing with a sloping top, the solar cells to drive the Electric motor has. The housing with the electric motor is attached to the respective toy model.

Ein weiterer Elektromotor für Spielzeugmodelle ist aus der EP-A-0 545 698 bekannt. Der Elektromotor ist wasserdicht in einem Unterwassergehäuse eines Spielzeugschiffantriebs untergebracht, an dem ein Batteriefach wechselbar und ebenfalls wasserdicht angebracht ist.Another electric motor for toy models is known from EP-A-0 545 698. The electric motor is waterproof housed in an underwater housing of a toy ship drive on which a battery compartment changeable and also attached waterproof.

Die DE-A-297 13 099 offenbart eine austauschbare Motorhalterung zum Einsatz in Modellautos. In die Halterung kann ein Elektromotor eingeclipst werden. Die Halterung ermöglicht die Verwendung eines anderen Motors anstatt des Originalmotors.DE-A-297 13 099 discloses a replaceable engine mount for use in model cars. In the holder, an electric motor can be clipped. The bracket allows the use of a different motor instead of the original motor.

Die GB-A-2 057 897 offenbart einen Spielzeugrennwagen für eine Spielzeugrennbahn mit einem in ein Chassis einctipsbaren Elektromotor.GB-A-2 057 897 discloses a toy race car for a toy race track with an electric motor to be tipped into a chassis.

Auch ist es bekannt, Spielzeugmodelle der eingangs erläuterten Art aus Spielbausteinen herzustellen, die aus einem festen Schaum bestehen. Die Spielbausteine werden durch Anfeuchten klebend und lassen sich dadurch miteinander und auch mit anderen Materialien zu Spielzeugmodellen zusammenkleben. Derartige Spielbausteine und aus ihnen hergestellte Spielzeugmodelle sind in der DE 197 03 038 offenbart, auf die insoweit Bezug genommen wird. Die Spielbausteine sind aus Stärke oder einem stärkehaltigen Material beispielsweise durch Extrudieren aufgeschäumt. Ein Herstellungsverfahren für derartige Spielbausteine ist in der DE 40 16 597 A1 offenbart. Die Spielbausteine eignen sich allerdings nicht zur Befestigung eines Elektromotors, da eine Verklebung mit einem üblicherweise aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehenden Motorgehäuse des Elektromotors eine zu geringe Festigkeit aufweist und noch nicht einmal das Gewicht des Elektromotors hält. Die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen, für Metall und/oder Kunststoff geeigneten Klebstoffs ist unerwünscht, da er der den Spielbausteinen zugrundeliegenden Philosophie, Spielzeugmodelle aus einem nachwachsenden und gesundheitlich unbedenklichen Rohstoff herzustellen, zuwiderläuft.It is also known to produce toy models of the type described above from toy bricks, which consist of a solid foam. The toy bricks become sticky by moistening and can thereby stick together with each other and with other materials to toy models. Such toy building blocks and toy models made from them are disclosed in DE 197 03 038, to which reference is made in this respect. The game bricks are foamed from starch or a starchy material, for example by extrusion. A manufacturing method for such game bricks is disclosed in DE 40 16 597 A1. However, the game blocks are not suitable for mounting an electric motor, since a bond with a usually consisting of metal or plastic motor housing of the electric motor has too low strength and does not even hold the weight of the electric motor. The use of an additional, suitable for metal and / or plastic adhesive is undesirable because it is the underlying of the game bricks Philosophy to produce toy models from a renewable and healthy harmless raw material, runs counter.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wechselmöglichkeit für einen Elektromotor an einem Spielzeugmodell zu schaffen, das aus Spielbausteinen der vorstehend erläuterten Art hergestellt ist, die aus einem festen Schaum bestehen.The invention has for its object to provide a possibility for changing an electric motor on a toy model, which is made of toy bricks of the type described above, which consist of a solid foam.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung weist eine Aufnahme auf, in die ein Elektromotor entnehmbar eingesetzt ist. Die Aufnahme besteht aus einem Material und/oder weist eine Form und/oder Oberflächenstruktur auf, die ein Verkleben mit Spielbausteinen der eingangs erläuterten Art durch Befeuchten der Spielbausteine und ohne Zusatzklebstoff ermöglicht. Die Erfindung hat zunächst den Vorteil, dass eine Befestigung des Elektromotors an Spielzeugmodellen, die aus Spielbausteinen der eingangs erläuterten Art hergestellt sind, mit ausreichender mechanischer Festigkeit herstellbar ist. Weiterer Vorteil ist, dass der Elektromotor entnehmbar und dadurch in mehreren Spielzeugmodellen verwendbar ist. Lediglich die Aufnahme wird in einer in den Spielzeugmodellen entsprechenden Anzahl benötigt, der Elektromotor braucht nur einmal vorhanden zu sein.This object is achieved by an arrangement with the features of claim 1. The arrangement according to the invention has a receptacle into which an electric motor is removably inserted. The recording consists of a material and / or has a shape and / or surface structure that allows bonding with game building blocks of the type described by moistening the game building blocks and without additional adhesive. The invention initially has the advantage that an attachment of the electric motor to toy models, which are made of toy bricks of the type described above, with sufficient mechanical strength can be produced. Another advantage is that the electric motor can be removed and thereby used in several toy models. Only the recording is required in a number corresponding to the toy models, the electric motor only needs to be present once.

Desweiteren weist die Erfindung einen Motorersatz auf, der anstelle des Elektromotors in die Aufnahme einsetzbar ist. Der Motorersatz ist einem Motorgehäuse des Elektromotors soweit nachgebildet, dass er anstelle des Elektromotors in die. Aufnahme einsetzbar ist. Der Motorersatz weist also insbesondere im Wesentlichen dieselbe Form wie das Motorgehäuse auf. Es genügt allerdings auch eine beispielsweise stemförmige Ausbildung des Motorersatzes, die dessen lagerichtige Position in der Aufnahme sicherstellt. Der Motorersatz weist eine feststehende Achse anstelle einer Motorwelle des Elektromotors auf, auf die beispielweise ein Spielzeugwindrad oder ein sonstiges bewegliches Spielzeugelement, das mit dem Elektromotor drehend antreibbar ist, aufsetzbar ist. Der Motorersatz ermöglicht die Abringung des Spielzeugelements am Spielzeugmodell wenn der Elektromotor beispielsweise in einem anderen Spielzeugmodell verwendet wird. Änderungen am Spielzeugmodell sind nicht erforderlich. Durch einen oder mehrere Motorersätze lässt sich der Elektromotor in einem von mehreren Spielzeugmodellen verwenden während die anderen Spielzeugmodelle mit dem Motorersatz zusammengebaut bleiben können.Furthermore, the invention has a motor replacement, which can be used instead of the electric motor in the recording. The engine replacement is simulated a motor housing of the electric motor so far that he instead of the electric motor in the. Recording is used. The engine replacement thus has in particular substantially the same shape as the motor housing. However, it is also sufficient, for example, a star-shaped design of the engine replacement, which ensures its positionally correct position in the recording. The motor replacement has a fixed axis instead of a motor shaft of the electric motor, to which, for example, a toy windmill or other movable toy element, which is rotatably drivable with the electric motor, can be placed. The engine replacement allows the toy element to attach to the toy model when the electric motor is used, for example, in another toy model. Changes to the toy model are not required. With one or more engine kits, the electric motor can be used in one of several toy models while the other toy models can remain assembled with the engine replacement.

Für die meisten Anwendungen genügt ein vergleichsweise loser Sitz des Elektromotors in der Aufnahme um den Elektromotor zu halten. Vorzugsweise ist der Elektromotor allerdings klemmend in der Aufnahme gehalten. Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht eine ringförmige Ausbildung der Aufnahme vor, die den in sie eingesetzten Elektromotor an einem Umfang umgreift. Unter ringförmig soll auch eine rohrförmige Ausbildung verstanden werden. Diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ermöglicht eine einfache Ausbildung der Aufnahme und eine einfache Entnahme- und Einsetzbarkeit des Elektromotors in die Aufnahme.For most applications, a comparatively loose seat of the electric motor in the receptacle is sufficient to hold the electric motor. Preferably, however, the electric motor is clamped in the receptacle. An embodiment of the invention provides an annular formation of the receptacle, which surrounds the electric motor inserted in it on a circumference. Under annular should also be understood a tubular design. This embodiment of the invention enables a simple design of the recording and a simple removal and applicability of the electric motor in the recording.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Aufnahme eine Durchbrechung zur Durchführung von Kabeln des Elektromotors auf. Die Durchbrechung kann beispielsweise ein radial durchgehender Schlitz in einer ringförmig ausgebildeten Aufnahme sein. Außer der Kabeldurchführung sichert die Durchbrechung den Elektromotor gegen Verdrehen in der Aufnahme.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the receptacle has an opening for the passage of cables of the electric motor. The opening can be, for example, a radially continuous slot in an annular receptacle. In addition to the cable gland, the opening secures the electric motor against twisting in the receptacle.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Aufnahme aus Holz hergestellt. Als nachwachsender Rohstoff passt Holz, zur Philosophie der Herstellung von Spielbausteinen und Spielzeugmodellen aus einem nachwachsenden Rohstoff. Weiterer Vorteil von Holz ist eine gute Haftung der angefeuchteten, aus einem festen Schaum bestehenden Spielbaustein, d. h. es ergibt sich eine Verklebung ausreichender Festigkeit.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the receptacle is made of wood. As a renewable raw material wood, the philosophy of producing toy bricks and toy models from a renewable raw material fits. Another advantage of wood is a good adhesion of the moistened, consisting of a solid foam game building block, d. H. it results in a bond sufficient strength.

Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die feststehende Achse beidseitig aus dem Motorersatz vorsteht und an eine Rückseite in ein Loch der Aufnahme eingreift, wenn der Motorersatz in die Aufnahme eingesetzt ist. Diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verbessert den Halt des Motorersatzes in der Aufnahme.A development of the invention provides that the fixed axis protrudes from both sides of the motor replacement and to a back in a hole of the Recording engages when the motor replacement is inserted in the receptacle. This embodiment of the invention improves the grip of the engine replacement in the receptacle.
