  As shown in FIG. 8A, the lock member 82 is a vehicle toy when the tip is not pushed down by the swing control member 80 and is pushed up by the lock auxiliary member 81. When the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c are about to move from the closed position to the open position due to a collision of C or the like, the inclined portion 82b and the ear portion 82c engage with the side peripheral surface and the upper surface of the lower end portion of the engagement pin 70h. As a result, the swing of the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c is restricted and locked in the closed position, that is, the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c are brought into a locked state. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the lock member 82 is used when the tip portion is pushed down by the swing control member 80 or when it is not pushed up by the lock auxiliary member 81. When the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c are about to move from the closed position to the open position, the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c are swung to the open position side by moving the engagement pin 70h upward. The guide members 7a to 7c are brought into an unlocked state.

[2-2. Configuration of collision prevention mechanism]
The collision prevention mechanism unit 9 prevents a collision at the lane junction 13 by the vehicle toy C that has passed through the gate portions G of the first branch lane Sa to the fourth branch lane Sd, as shown in FIG. The travel detection switch 90 and the stopper control mechanism 91 are provided.

  The travel detection switch 90 detects the travel of the toy vehicle C in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd (priority lane), and the lane branch point B in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd. And a gate member G at a predetermined position.

  The front end of the plate-like member 90a in the traveling direction A is pivotally supported at the same level as the lane S by an axis (not shown) orthogonal to the traveling direction A. On the other hand, the end on the front end side of the plate-like member 90a is swingable up and down around the axis, and is positioned slightly above the upper surface of the lane S by a compression spring (not shown). It is energized from below. Thereby, the plate-like member 90a detects the weight of the vehicle toy C when the vehicle toy C travels in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd. As such a travel detection switch 90, for example, one that detects traffic jam by electrical contact with the vehicle toy C, one that detects traffic jam by blocking the optical path from the vehicle toy C, and the like are conventionally known. Things can be used.

  The stopper control mechanism 91 is disposed on the lower surface of the travel detection switch 90, and when the travel detection switch 90 detects the travel of the vehicle toy C in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd. The opening of the gate part G by the stopper 40 is prohibited for a predetermined time. As such a stopper control mechanism 91, a mechanism for forcibly stopping a gear that transmits power to the cam member that drives the stopper 40, a mechanism for disconnecting a clutch connected to the gear, or the like is used. Can do.

[3. Runway board operation]
Then, the operation | movement of the above roadbed 1 is demonstrated.

  First, when the power supply unit of the track board 1 is turned on, the belt conveyor 14a of the electric slope unit 14 starts to rotate. Further, the three sliding members 800 provided below the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c slide with respect to the rod-shaped member 80b of the swing control member 80 at a predetermined timing by the drive source, respectively. The member 80b is swung up and down. Thereby, each lock member 82 provided below the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c swings up and down at each predetermined timing, and the vehicle guide members 7a to 7c are switched to the locked state or the unlocked state (FIG. 8). (See (a) and (b)).

  Next, when a plurality of vehicle toys C are caused to travel on the roadbed 1, these vehicle toys C enter the lane branch portion 11 from the lane portion 10 before branching one by one, and then the vehicle guide in the locked state or unlocked state. The members 7a to 7c are assigned to the first branch lane Sa to the fourth branch lane Sd and enter each gate portion G.

  At this time, when the vehicle toy C enters the gate part G of the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd (priority lane), as shown in FIG. And let it enter the lane junction 13. Further, the travel detection switch 90 detects the travel of the toy vehicle C in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd.

  On the other hand, when the vehicle toy C enters the gate portion G of the first branch lane Sa and the second branch lane Sb (normal lane), the stopper 41 opens and closes the gate portion G at a predetermined timing as shown in FIG. By doing so, the travel of the vehicle toy C is restricted. When the travel detection switch 90 detects the travel of the vehicle toy C in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd, the stopper control mechanism 91 opens the gate G by the stopper 40 for a predetermined time. Since the vehicle toy C stops only inside and the vehicle toy C stops, the travel of the vehicle toy C is further restricted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, when a predetermined number of vehicle toys C stop in the first branch lane Sa (or second branch lane Sb) and a traffic jam occurs, the traffic jam detection switch 70 is detected by the last vehicle toy C. The plate-like member 70a is pushed down. Accordingly, the other end portion of the seesaw member 71b that contacts the lower surface of the plate-like member 70a is pushed down, the one end portion is pushed up, and the protruding portion 81c of the lock auxiliary member 81 is pushed up.

  When the protrusion 81c of the lock assisting member 81 is pushed up, the lock assisting member 81 performs a seesaw motion around the shaft 80e. As a result, the upper lock member 82 is lowered together with the protrusion 81b. As a result, the vehicle guide member 7a (or 7b) corresponding to the first branch lane Sa (or the second branch lane Sb) where the traffic jam is detected by the traffic jam detection switch 70 is in an unlocked state (see FIG. 8C). ).

  When the vehicle toy C collides with the unlocked vehicle guide member 7a (or 7b), the vehicle guide member 7a (or 7b) moves to the open position, and the vehicle toy C is moved to the second side on the back side. After entering the branch lane Sb to the fourth branch lane Sd (or the third branch lane Sc to the fourth branch lane Sd), it moves again to the closed position by the urging force of the tension spring 70i. Thereby, when a traffic jam is detected, the toy vehicle C is distributed to the second branch lane Sb to the fourth branch lane Sd where the traffic jam is not detected.

  Further, when the vehicle toy C in the first branch lane Sa (or the second branch lane Sb) passes through the gate portion G and the traffic jam is eliminated, the other end portion of the seesaw member 71b that contacts the lower surface of the traffic jam detection switch 70. As a result of the upward movement of the one end and the downward movement of the one end, the lock assisting member 81 pushes up the lock member 82 by the urging force of the weight member 81. As a result, the vehicle guide member 7a (or 7b) corresponding to the first branch lane Sa (or second branch lane Sb) in which the congestion has been eliminated is locked (see FIG. 8A), and the first branch lane Sa. The vehicle toy C can be guided to (or the second branch lane Sb).

Next, when the vehicle toy C enters the lane junction 13 from the first branch lane Sa to the fourth branch lane Sd, the vehicle toy C on each lane Sa to Sd is collected on one lane S, and the electric slope portion Enter the pre-branch lane 10 via 14.
Thereafter, each vehicle toy C rotates in the track board 1 and continues running.

  According to the track board 1 described above, the distribution mechanism unit 7 that distributes the plurality of vehicle toys C to the first branch lane Sa to the fourth branch lane Sd is operated by the traffic congestion detection switch 70 so that the first branch lane Sa and the second branch lane Sb. When a traffic jam in the (normal lane) is detected and a traffic jam in the first branch lane Sa (or the second branch lane Sb) is detected, the distribution controller 71 causes the plurality of first branch lanes Sa to fourth branch. Among the lanes Sd, the vehicle toys C are assigned to the second branch lane Sb to the fourth branch lane Sd (or the third branch lane Sc to the fourth branch lane Sd) where no traffic jam is detected. The vehicle toys C can be distributed and the vehicle toys C can be smoothly run.

  Further, when the travel detection switch 90 detects the travel of the vehicle toy C in the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd (priority lane), the stopper control mechanism 91 opens the gate G by the stopper 40. Since the vehicle toy C is prohibited for a predetermined time and stops, the first branch lane Sa and the second branch with respect to the vehicle toy C passing through the gate portion G of the third branch lane Sc and the fourth branch lane Sd. It is possible to prevent the toy vehicle C passing through the gate portion G of the lane Sb from colliding. Therefore, the vehicle toy C can be run more smoothly.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention can be variously deformed in the range which is not limited to this embodiment and does not deviate from the summary.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the distribution control unit 71 and the stopper control mechanism unit 91 are described as being realized by a structural mechanism, but may be realized by electrical control.
