Description

The invention relates to a model vehicle.

Model vehicles should have doors to provide a lifelike appearance, a lifelike function and appropriate play options. The model vehicle doors that emulate the doors of original vehicles are usually pivotable about a vertical axis.

Model vehicles with doors are for example from the CN 204 073 417 U , the CN 205 699 438 U , the CN 202 446 805 U , the CN 205 434 963 U , the CN 204 637 571 U or the JP H06-75589 U known.

document CN204073417U discloses a model vehicle comprising a door having a door body, an arm, and a bearing body; a body having a bearing for the bearing body; and a spring; wherein the bearing body in the bearing performs a rotational movement about an axis of rotation, wherein the bearing body has a rotating and supporting portion in its inner and upper region; and wherein the bearing body has an eccentric. For original vehicles, however, there are also scissor doors, which are posted in the area of the A-pillar and are opened to the front top, hinged doors, which are posted in the roof area and opened upwards, and mixed forms of scissors and folding doors, which also as Butterfly doors are called and the first to the outside and then opened to the top.

So far, it has not been possible to realize butterfly doors on model vehicles. In the relatively small vehicle models, doors that can be opened via the A-pillar, not feasible. There is a lack of strength at the connection points. Furthermore, the required space is not present in the vehicle model.

The object of the invention is to propose a model vehicle with a butterfly door.

Surprisingly, the inventor has succeeded in realizing a butterfly door in a model vehicle.

The present invention provides a model vehicle according to claim 1.

The solution according to the invention comprises a butterfly door and a body. The butterfly door has a door body, an arm and a bearing body. The arm connects the bearing body with the door body. Preferably, door body, arm and bearing body are made in one piece. The body has a bearing for the bearing body.

The model vehicle has a spring. The spring is configured and / or installed such that it pushes the bearing body into the bearing. Preferably, it is a compression spring, in particular a leaf spring.

The bearing and the bearing body are formed such that the butterfly door performs a butterfly-like opening and closing movement. During the opening movement, the butterfly door is first moved outwards and then upwards, in particular pivoted. During the closing movement, the reverse movement is carried out, ie first a movement, in particular pivoting, downwards and then a movement, in particular pivoting, inwards.

The bearing body performs in the bearing a rotational movement about an axis of rotation. Bearing body and bearing are thus designed such that such a rotational movement about a rotation axis is made possible.

The axis of rotation runs in the vehicle direction forwards and outwards.

The axis of rotation moves during the opening movement of the butterfly door in its front area to the outside. As a result, a movement of the door body can be realized both outwardly and upwardly particularly advantageously.

The bearing body has in its inner and upper regions on a rotating and supporting section. This can be achieved in a particularly advantageous manner, a displacement of the front portion of the rotation axis to the outside during the opening movement of the butterfly door.

The bearing body has an eccentric. The eccentric is preferably designed as an eccentric nose.

The eccentric is supported on the spring. This makes it possible in a simple manner to lock the scissors door in certain positions, especially in the closed position and in the fully open position.

In the body 1, a bearing 15 for the bearing body 11 and a bearing 16 for the bearing body 14 is provided. The bearings 15, 16 are each formed in two parts. A part of the bearings 15, 16 is realized in the lower part 5 of the body 1, the other part of the bearings 15, 16 is realized in the upper part 6 of the body 1. The lower part of the bearings 15, 16 is in each case formed by a lower guide element 17, 18, in particular from Fig. 4 it can be seen, the upper part of the bearings 15, 16 is each formed by an upper guide member 19, 20, as in particular from Fig. 2 and 3 seen.

The model vehicle further comprises a spring 21, which in Fig. 5 is shown enlarged. The spring 21 is formed as a leaf spring. It comprises a middle part 22 and two end parts 23, 24. The spring 21 is fitted in recesses of the upper part 6 of the body 1. Her middle part 22 is locked, the end portions 23, 24 are resiliently mounted.

The bearings 15, 16 and the bearing body 11, 14 are formed such that the respective bearing body 11, 14 in the respective bearing 15, 16 can perform a rotational movement about an axis of rotation 25, 26. The axes of rotation 25, 26 of the bearing body 11, 14 in the respective bearing 15, 16 extend in the vehicle direction F forward to the outside, as in particular from Fig. 3 and 4 seen. They also extend in the vehicle direction F downwards, as in particular from Fig. 4 seen. The bearings 15, 16 are located in the body 1 of the model vehicle in the vehicle direction F in front of the front axle and under the front axle. They lie between the vehicle longitudinal axis and the respective vehicle tires.

The bearing bodies 11, 14 each have an eccentric 27, 28. The eccentrics 27, 28 are each formed as an eccentric nose. They point outwards and run parallel to and at a distance from the respective axis of rotation 25, 26. The bearing bodies 11, 14 furthermore each have a rotating and supporting section 29, 30. The rotating and supporting sections 29, 30 are located respectively in the inner and upper regions of the respective bearing body 11, 14. They run parallel to and at a distance from the respective axis of rotation 25, 26. The rotating and supporting portions 29, 30 are formed by a region having a narrow outer radius which is smaller than the radius of the respective bearing body 11, 14. They abut against corresponding bearing portions 31, 32, the have a correspondingly small inner radius. The bearing sections 31, 32 are part of the upper guide elements 19, 20.

The following description of the operation based on the Fig. 7 to 10 and 11 to 15 relates to the left butterfly door 2. It applies in a corresponding manner for the right butterfly door 3, which is symmetrical to the left butterfly door 2 ..

When the butterfly door 2 is in the closed position, the in Fig. 7 and 12 The left end portion 23 of the spring 21 abuts against the bearing body 11 and presses this bearing body 11 in the bearing 15. In this case, the eccentric 27 of the bearing body 11 is located at the elastic end portion 23 of Spring 21 on. The eccentric 27 points downward.

To open the butterfly door 2, the operator can grasp the door body 9 with his finger and move it outward. In this case, the bearing body 11 in the bearing 15 performs a rotational movement about the axis of rotation 25. As a result, the door body 9 first turns outward until the in Fig. 8 and 13 shown position is reached, in which the door is partially open.

During this opening movement, the rotating and supporting portion 29 of the bearing body 11 is supported on the bearing portion 31 of the bearing 15. The eccentric 27 moves against the force of the elastic end portion 23 of the spring 21 upwards. By the opening movement so the force of the end portion 23 of the spring 21 must be overcome.

In the course of the opening movement of the door body 9 performs a movement outwards and upwards. In this case, the bearing body 11 rotates in the camp 15. The eccentric 27 continues to move up and out and pushes the elastic end portion 23 of the spring 21 continues until in the course of this rotational movement, a vertex is reached. This is in Fig. 9 and 14 shown in which the door is open further.

During the movement of the butterfly door 2 from the partially open position according to FIG Fig. 8 and 13 in the further open position according to Fig. 9 and 14 the axis of rotation 25 moves outwards in its front area. This is achieved essentially by the support of the rotating and supporting portion 29 in the bearing portion 31, which causes the bearing body 11 to move outwardly. By the displacement of the axis of rotation 25 is achieved that the door body 9 moves not only outwards, but also upwards.

After overcoming the in Fig. 9 and 14 shown vertex, the eccentric 27 continues to move upwards. This movement is assisted by the elastic end part 23 of the spring, which presses the eccentric 27 upwards. As a result, the rotational movement of the bearing body 11 in the bearing 15 is continued until the door body 9 has reached the fully open position in Fig. 10 and 15 is shown. During this movement, the front portion of the rotation axis 25 has moved further outward. By the force exerted by the elastic end portion 23 of the spring 21 on the eccentric 27, the butterfly door 2 is held in the fully open position.

For the closing movement, the opposite way is gone through. The operator can exert a downward force on the door body 9, which is in the fully open position. In this case, the bearing body 11 rotates in the bearing 15 against the force exerted by the elastic end portion 23 of the spring 21 on the eccentric 27 of the bearing body 11. After passing through the apex, the further closing movement is supported by the force of the elastic end portion 23 of the spring 21 on the eccentric 27 of the bearing body 11 until the butterfly door 2 has reached the closed position.

The invention provides a model vehicle in which the butterfly doors can be guided around the A-pillars. The arrangement of the individual components an optimal space utilization is achieved.
