BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a traveling toy which travels by the magnetic action of a permanent magnet and a coil.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional traveling toy, for example, a toy body is vibrated by rotation of a rotor, and the toy body is advanced using the vibration. In such a traveling toy, a prime mover is provided inside the toy main body, and a rotor is connected to a rotating shaft of the prime mover in a direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft. Also, a weight is formed at the tip of the rotor, and when the motor is rotated at high speed, the rotation of the rotor having the weight causes a slight vibration to occur in the entire traveling toy. A brush as a leg is provided on the grounding surface of the toy body, and when a component force for propelling forward is generated by the minute vibration, the component force is applied to the brush to advance the traveling toy body. Can be.

And grounding portions 12a and 12b fixed to each other. The ground parts 12a and 12b are formed from a conductive member. The front portions of the grounding portions 12a, 12b are cut at an acute angle, and the rear portions are bent, so that the toy body 1 is supported in a state of being inclined forward. A coil 13 is fixed to the back surface of the front plate 5, and the coil 13 is electrically connected to the grounding portions 12a and 12b as the pair of conductive supports. Holes 15a and 15b are formed in the pair of parallel side plates 7a and 7b, and the support shafts 19a and 19b of the propulsion body 17 are inserted into the holes 15a and 15b. The L-shaped propulsion body 17 is formed of an insulating member such as a synthetic resin, and its support shafts 19a and 19b are connected to the holes 1a.
The propulsion body 17 is swingably provided at a position facing the coil 13 by inserting the propulsion body 17 into the coils 5a and 15b. Also,
The length of the propulsion body 17 is appropriately set so that the tip of the propulsion body 17 does not contact a conductive track (running surface) described later when the propulsion body 17 swings. A permanent magnet 21 is fixed to the propulsion body 17, and the propulsion body 17 strikes the rear portion of the toy main body by a magnetic action with the coil 13. The propulsion body 17 strikes the rear portion of the toy main body, thereby giving vibration to the toy main body and moving the toy main body forward. Here, the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet 21 is set, for example, such that the side facing the coil 13 is the magnetic pole S or the magnetic pole N.
Then, a top plate 23 is attached to the upper side of the body 3. That is, a hole 23 a is formed in the top plate 23, a screw hole 25 is formed in the front plate 5, and the screw 27 is
The top plate 2 is screwed into the screw hole 25 through a.
3 is fixed to the body 3. By attaching the top plate 23, the toy body 1 having a robust structure can be realized.

Next, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG.
Will be described. The traveling board 31 is formed with a pair of conductive track bodies 33a and 33b. A pair of conductive track bodies 35a and 35b are formed in parallel with the pair of conductive track bodies 33a and 33b. As shown in FIG. 4, an insulating guide plate 37 is provided between the conductive track members 13a and 13b provided in a rail shape with a predetermined width.
Are provided vertically. Similarly, the conductive track 15a
An insulating guide plate 39 is provided vertically between the first and the second 15b. When a competitive game is played, one toy body 1 is guided by the guide plate 37 and travels on a pair of conductive track bodies 33a and 33b, and the other toy body is guided by the guide plate 39 to form a pair of toy bodies. Conductive track 35
a, 35b. At this time, the grounding portions 12a and 12b of the legs 10a and 10b on the side of the toy main body 1 come into contact with the pair of conductive track bodies 33a and 33b to receive power supply. Similarly, the leg of the other toy body (not shown) comes into contact with the pair of conductive track bodies 35a and 35b to receive power supply. Operation units 41 and 43 and a power supply unit 45 are provided at an end of the traveling board 31. The power supply section 45 includes the conductive track members 33a and 33b and the conductive track members 35a and 35a.
Power is supplied to 5b. The power supply unit 45 supplies, for example, a pulse voltage that inverts the current flowing through the coil 13 via the conductive track at predetermined intervals.
The operation unit 41 is provided with a push button switch 47, and the operation unit 43 is provided with a push button switch 49.

Next, an operation when the toy body 1 runs on the pair of conductive track bodies 33a and 33b will be described with reference to FIG. The toy body 1 is made of a pair of conductive track bodies 33a, 3
3b, the legs 10a, 1 on the toy body 1 side.
0b is a pair of conductive track bodies 33
a, 33b. Therefore, when the push button switch 47 is turned on, the power supply unit 45 is connected to the coil 13 via the pair of conductive track bodies 33a, 33b and the grounding units 12a, 12b, and a pulse current flows to the coil 13. Here, the end face of the permanent magnet 21, that is, the coil 13
The case where the side opposite to is set to the magnetic pole S will be described as an example. When a pulse of the first cycle is supplied from the power supply unit 45 and the current flowing through the coil 13 generates a magnetic pole S on the end face of the coil 13, that is, on the side facing the permanent magnet 21, the magnetic pole S of the coil 13 and the permanent magnet 2
One magnetic pole S repels. As shown in FIG.
The repulsion of the permanent magnet 21 against the
7 is rocked backward. When the direction of the current flowing to the coil 13 is reversed by the pulse of the next cycle supplied from the power supply unit 45, the end face of the coil 13, that is, the permanent magnet 2
A magnetic pole N is generated on the side opposite to 1, and the magnetic pole N of the coil 13 and the magnetic pole S of the permanent magnet 21 are attracted. When the permanent magnet 21 is attracted to the coil 13, the rear portion of the toy main body is beaten by the propulsion body 17, and vibration for moving the toy main body 1 is generated.

Similarly, the direction of the current flowing through the coil 13 is inverted at predetermined intervals, so that the repulsion and attraction are repeated between the coil 13 and the permanent magnet 21 to swing the propulsion body 17. At this time, since the propelling body 17 hits the rear portion of the toy main body, a slight vibration occurs in the entire toy main body 1. A forward propulsion force is obtained by the fine vibration, and the toy body 1 can be moved forward.

The operation when the push button switch 49 is turned on to cause the other toy body to run on the pair of conductive track bodies 35a and 35b is the same as above. Therefore, two players can turn on the push button switches 47 and 49, respectively, to play a competitive game between both toy bodies.
