[Means for solving problems]
The toy steering device according to claim 1 has a left and right rotating body that rotates the left and right steering wheels left and right around a predetermined axis, and the left and right rotating bodies that are connected to each other and rotate around the left and right rotating bodies. In a toy steering device provided with an even-matched connecting body, the left and right rotating bodies are rotated about the predetermined axis by swinging the connecting body to the left and right, and the direction of the steering wheel is changed. One of the coil and the magnetic material is provided in the connecting body, the other of the coil and the magnetic material is provided in the fixed portion, and the coil and the magnetic material are configured to be separated from each other by the swing of the connecting body. It is characterized in that the energization to the coil is controlled by the energization control means so that the coupling body takes at least two steering positions. Here, the "magnetic material" includes not only permanent magnets but also objects that are magnetized (have magnetism) when placed in a magnetic field. Further, regarding the arrangement of the "coil" and the "magnetic material" in this case, as in the invention of claim 2, a "permanent magnet which is a magnetic material" is provided on the connecting body side, and the "coil" is fixed outside the connecting body. A "coil" may be provided on the connecting body side and a "permanent magnet" may be provided on the fixed portion outside the connecting body. Further, "energization control" includes control such as turning off the energization and changing the direction of the current.
According to this toy steering device, the left and right steering wheels are directed in at least two directions by controlling the energization of the coil by the coil energization control means to cause the coupling body to take at least two steering positions. become.

Further, the permanent magnet may be provided so that the pole of the permanent magnet points to the left or right, and the coil may be provided so that the end thereof faces the pole.
In this case, in order to "point the poles of the permanent magnets to the left and right", the poles (N pole, S pole) of one permanent magnet are arranged so as to be positioned on the left and right respectively. In the case of using two permanent magnets, one pole (N pole or S pole) of one permanent magnet is arranged on the left, and the other pole (S pole or N pole) of the other permanent magnet is arranged on the right. Or, place the same poles (N pole or S pole) of the two permanent magnets on the left and right.
Further, in the energization control for the coils in this case, the left and right coils may be operated at the same time, and the coupling may be operated by both the attractive force and the repulsive force acting between the left and right coils and the permanent magnets, or left and right. The coil may be selectively operated, and the coupling may be operated by an attractive force or a repulsive force acting between either the left or right coil and the permanent magnet.
According to this toy steering device, by controlling the energization of the coil, the coupling body operates toward one of the magnetic bodies, whereby steering is performed.

Further, the connecting body is provided with a spring that holds the connecting body in a neutral position that is not biased to the left or right when the energization to the coil is turned off, so that the connecting body can take three steering positions. You may.
According to this toy steering device, when the coil is turned off, the coupling body takes a neutral position by the spring, and when the coil is energized, the coupling body operates in the direction corresponding to the direction of the current. become.

The automobile toy according to claim 3 is characterized by comprising the steering device for toys according to claim 1 or 2.
According to this automobile toy, for example, the automobile toy can be driven in a straight line or turned in either the left or right direction by remote control.

According to the automobile toy according to claim 3, quick steering is possible, and racing on a track having a curve like a circuit can be enjoyed.

Claims (3)

  The left and right pivoting bodies rotate left and right steering wheels to the left and right about a predetermined axis, and the left and right pivoting bodies are connected to each other to form a coupling body that rotates with the left and right pivoting bodies. In a toy steering apparatus for turning the left and right pivoting bodies about the predetermined axis by swinging the body to the left and right and changing the direction of the steered wheels, one of the coil and the magnetic body is provided on the coupling body The other of the coil and the magnetic body is provided in a fixed portion, and the coil and the magnetic body are separated and brought into contact with each other by the swing of the connection body, and the coil current control means controls the current supply to the coil. The toy steering system according to claim 1, wherein the coupling body is configured to have at least two steering positions.   The toy steering apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the permanent magnet which is the magnetic body is provided in the connection body, and the coil is provided in the fixing portion.   An automobile toy comprising the toy steering device according to claim 1.
