Description

  The present invention relates to a toy vehicle lifting apparatus.

  As a toy vehicle lifting device, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1. In the lifting device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the toy vehicle is raised by rotating a spiral body on which the vehicle is mounted. In this lifting device, a wire is used as a spiral.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 41-9527

However, when a wire is used as a spiral body, since the wire is easily deformed, the lower end and the upper end of the wire must be fixed to the rotating body, and the diameter of the rotating body is equal to or larger than the diameter of the spiral wire. In addition, the upper and lower rotating bodies must be connected and rotated in synchronization.
Further, when a wire is used as the spiral body, if the toy vehicle is supported from below only by the wire, the toy vehicle is likely to tilt in the left-right direction when the toy vehicle is lifted. Therefore, in the toy vehicle lifting device of Patent Document 1, a guide wall is provided inside the spiral body, and the toy vehicle is sandwiched between the guide wall and the tower wall, thereby preventing the toy vehicle from tilting left and right. The toy vehicle is raised, but in this case, the following problems occur.
First, the guide wall needs to have a structure that does not rotate integrally with the spiral wire. However, as described above, a rotating body is required above and below the wire. It becomes complicated.
Second, if a guide wall is provided inside the spiral body and the toy vehicle is sandwiched between the guide wall and the tower wall, the toy vehicle that can be handled is restricted. That is, there is no problem if the toy vehicle has a width that can be sandwiched between the guide wall and the tower wall, but in the case of a toy vehicle that has a width smaller than the distance between the guide wall and the tower wall, The toy vehicle tilts left and right on the wire. Then, if the vehicle rises to the left and right and reaches the exit, there is a problem that the vehicle cannot be discharged smoothly when the vehicle is discharged to the outside. On the other hand, in the case of a toy vehicle having a width larger than the distance between the guide wall and the tower wall, it cannot be raised between the guide wall and the tower wall and cannot be raised.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a toy vehicle lifting / lowering device that can be raised or lowered while maintaining a stable posture even for toy vehicles having different widths. To do.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a toy vehicle lifting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a toy vehicle lifting apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG.

The toy vehicle lifting / lowering apparatus 1 of the present invention includes a tower 10, a traveling path 20, and a traveling path 21. The outline of the operation of the toy vehicle 1 will be described focusing on the movement of the toy vehicle A. The toy vehicle A introduced into the tower 10 from the first entrance 12 is raised in the tower 10 by the rotation of the spiral plate 14. And is discharged from the first outlet 11 to the travel path 20. The discharged toy vehicle A descends the traveling path 20 by its own weight and is guided to the second entrance 16 of the tower 10. The toy vehicle A is again introduced into the tower 10 from the second inlet 16, slightly raised in the tower 10, and discharged from the second outlet 17 to the traveling path 21. The discharged toy vehicle A descends the traveling path 21 by its own weight and reaches the first entrance 12.
In this series of movements, the toy vehicle A is temporarily stopped by the stopper 22b, then reaches the second inlet 16, and is temporarily stopped by the stopper 22a. In addition, the toy car A discharged from the second outlet 17 is temporarily stopped at the first inlet 12.
Hereinafter, the details of the toy vehicle lifting / lowering apparatus 1 will be described.

The tower 10 has a square shape in a horizontal section, and a rotation shaft 13 that is driven to rotate by a motor 31 or a human hand described later is installed at the center. When the rotary shaft 13 is driven to rotate by the motor 31, it rotates counterclockwise in plan view. On the other hand, when the rotary shaft 13 is driven to rotate manually, it can be rotated left and right in a plan view. The rotating shaft 13 extends over almost the entire height of the tower 10. An inner edge of the spiral plate 14 is fixed around the rotation shaft 13. The outer edge of the spiral plate 14 is close to the front wall, the side wall, and the rear wall of the tower 10. The spiral plate 14 is for mounting the toy vehicle A, and the upper surface of the spiral plate 14 is not particularly limited, but is formed by connecting rods orthogonal to the rotation shaft 13 in a spiral manner. Yes.
Here, the front wall of the tower 10 refers to a wall located on the front side of the toy vehicle lifting apparatus 1.

The left side wall of the tower 10 is formed with a first inlet 12 on the lower front side and a second outlet 17 on the lower back side. The first inlet 12 is formed at a position lower than the second outlet 17.
On the other hand, on the right side wall of the tower 10, a first outlet 11 is formed on the upper front side, and a second inlet 16 is formed on the lower back side.
In addition, a floor (not shown) in which the lower end of the spiral plate 14 is in sliding contact is provided in the tower 10. A toy vehicle A introduced into the tower 10 from the first inlet 12 and the second inlet 16 is once placed on the floor. Then, while the toy vehicle A placed on the floor is scooped by the lower end of the spiral plate 14 rotated by a motor 31 described later, as shown in FIG. It abuts against the inner surface of the right and front walls of the tower 10. The inner surfaces of the right side wall and the front wall of the tower 10 constitute a contact portion. Thus, the toy car A is placed on the spiral plate 14 and is raised while maintaining a predetermined posture. The toy vehicle A introduced into the tower 10 from the second inlet 16 is also raised to the second outlet 17 in the same manner. At this time, the front surface and the right side surface of the toy car A come into contact with the inner surfaces of the left side wall and the rear wall of the tower 10. The inner surface of the left side wall and the rear wall of the tower 10 constitutes a contact portion.

Further, on the inner surface of the front wall of the tower 10, a guide 15 that is inclined so as to protrude inward as it goes upward is provided immediately below the vicinity of the first outlet 11. The guide 15 directs the raised toy vehicle A toward the first outlet 11.
However, this guide 15 is not essential. Because, if the first exit 11 is in contact with the front wall of the tower 10, the toy vehicle A automatically moves up to the first exit 11 even if the toy vehicle A is raised without providing the guide 15. It is because it is discharged.
However, when the first outlet 11 is away from the front wall of the tower 10, even if the toy vehicle A is raised to the same height as the first outlet 11, if the guide 15 is not provided, the toy vehicle A will still remain. There is a possibility that the front and right sides of the automobile A remain in contact with the inner surfaces of the right and front walls of the tower 10 and are not discharged from the first outlet 11.
In the toy vehicle lifting apparatus 1 of the embodiment, the first outlet 11 is separated from the front wall of the tower 10 in order to improve the strength of the tower 10. Therefore, the guide 15 is provided in the toy vehicle lifting apparatus 1 of the embodiment.
According to this guide 15, when the toy vehicle A rises and approaches the first outlet 11, the right side surface of the toy vehicle A comes into contact with the guide 15 and slides against the inclined surface 15 a (see FIG. 1) of the guide 15. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2C, the front portion of the vehicle A is gradually turned to the left side. Accordingly, when the toy vehicle A reaches the first outlet 11, the surface of the spiral plate 14 has a downward slope, and therefore the toy vehicle A is discharged from the first outlet 11 to the travel path 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2C, the traveling path 20 has a start end connected to the lower edge of the first outlet 11. The traveling path 20 is an elliptical circular circuit having a downward slope, and the end is connected to the lower edge of the second inlet 16 of the tower 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, the traveling path 21 has a start end connected to the lower edge of the second outlet 17. The traveling path 21 is a semicircular road having a downward slope, and the end is connected to the lower edge of the first entrance 12 of the tower 10. This travel path 21 also has a downward slope.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the traveling path 20 is provided with stoppers 22 a and 22 b of the toy vehicle A before the second entrance 16. The distance between the stoppers 22a and 22b is a distance that sandwiches at least the toy vehicle A having the maximum vehicle length among the toy vehicles A that are scheduled to travel. In addition, a stopper 22 c is disposed on the traveling path 21 before the first inlet 12.
The stoppers 22a, 22b, and 22c are configured to be able to appear and retract with respect to the traveling paths 20 and 21 through holes formed in the road surfaces of the traveling paths 20 and 21. The stoppers 22a, 22b, and 22c are preferably not plate-shaped but have a predetermined thickness in the traveling direction of the toy vehicle A. In general, the stoppers 22a, 22b, and 22c are often formed of plastic resin, but in the case of a plate shape, the toy vehicle A that hits the stoppers 22a, 22b, and 22c may be rebounded by the elasticity of the stopper. is there.
Furthermore, it is preferable that at least the upper surfaces of the stoppers 22a, 22b and 22c are formed of rubber or the like having a high frictional resistance. In particular, the stopper 22b installed behind the stopper 22a is installed at a position away from the stopper 22a in accordance with the toy vehicle A having the largest vehicle length among the toy vehicles A scheduled to travel as described above. Therefore, when the toy vehicle A having a relatively short vehicle length is stopped by the stopper 22a, the next toy vehicle A may be located immediately above the stopper 22b. In order to stop the toy vehicle A, it is preferable to increase the thickness of the toy vehicle A in the traveling direction and to form the upper surface of the toy vehicle A with rubber or the like having a high frictional resistance.

Next, the internal mechanism and apparatus of the toy vehicle lifting / lowering apparatus 1 will be described.
FIG. 3 shows a driving device 30 for the rotating shaft 13 and the stoppers 22a, 22b, and 22c. This driving device 30 constitutes a rotating means of the rotating shaft 13.
The drive device 30 includes a motor 31 that is a power source and a gear mechanism that transmits the power of the motor 31 to the rotary shaft 13.
The gear mechanism includes a pinion gear 32 a fixed to the tip of the drive shaft of the motor 31. This gear mechanism transmits the rotational power of the gear 32a rotated by the motor 31 to a gear 34 fixed to one end of the shaft 33 via gears 32b and 32c. Further, this gear mechanism transmits the rotational power of the gear 34 to the gear 37 of the rotary shaft 13 through the gear 35 at the other end of the shaft 33, the crown gear 36 a and the intermediate gear 36.

In the middle of the gear mechanism, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a clutch 38 that interrupts the power transmission path from the motor 31 to the rotating shaft 13 is provided. The clutch 38 is for enabling manual operation of the rotary shaft 13.
If the structure is demonstrated concretely, the axis | shaft 33 is supported by the bearing 39 so that it can move to the axial direction. A coil spring 40 is wound between the bearing 39 and the flange 33 a of the shaft 33. The tip 38a of the clutch 38 is in contact with the flange 33a from the side opposite to the coil spring 40. Then, when a user operates the knob 38 b of the clutch 38, the clutch 38 rotates about the shaft 38 c and moves the shaft 33 against the urging force of the spring 40. As a result, the gear 34 is disengaged from the gear 32c, the power transmission path from the motor 31 to the rotating shaft 13 is interrupted, and the rotating shaft 13 can be manually operated. Manual operation can be performed by manually operating the top of the tower 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 5A and 5B, the drive device 30 includes a plate-like lever 41 having a stopper 22a erected on the first end side, and the first end side. A plate-like lever 42 with a stopper 22b erected, a plate-like lever 43 with a stopper 22c erected on the first end side, and a plate-like lever for connecting the plate-like lever 41 and the plate-like lever 42 45, a plate lever 52 for connecting the plate lever 43 and the external plate lever 57, and a plate lever 49 for restricting the operation of the plate lever 42.

  The plate-like lever 41 has a second end portion (base end portion) opposite to the first end portion rotatably supported by a shaft 41a. An intermediate portion of the plate lever 41 is urged upward by a spring 44. The first end of the plate lever 41 is connected to the first end of the plate lever 45 through a spring 46. Specifically, a spring hook portion (not shown) is provided at the first end portion of the plate-like lever 41 and the first end portion of the plate-like lever 45, and the spring 46 is placed on both spring hook portions. The spring 46 connects the first end of the plate lever 41 and the first end of the plate lever 45.

  The plate lever 45 is rotatably supported by a central shaft 45a. The second end of the plate-like lever 45 opposite to the first end is connected to the second end of the plate-like lever 42 opposite to the first end via the spring 47. It is connected. Specifically, a spring hook (not shown) is provided at the first end of the plate lever 45 and the second end of the plate lever 42, and the spring 47 is provided at both spring hooks. The spring 47 connects the first end of the plate lever 45 and the second end of the plate lever 42.

  The plate lever 42 is rotatably supported by a central shaft 42a. The plate lever 42 can be engaged with a plate lever 49.

The plate lever 49 is rotatably supported by an intermediate shaft 49a. The shaft 49a extends in the vertical direction, and the plate lever 49 is rotatable in a horizontal plane. A knob 49 b is erected on the first end of the plate lever 49. As shown in FIG. 1, the knob 49 b protrudes from the traveling path 20. A cam 50 is erected on the second end of the plate-like lever 49 opposite to the first end. The cam surface 50a of the cam 50 is formed by an inclined surface.
The plate lever 49 is normally in a state in which the cam surface 50 a of the cam 50 is separated from the lever 42. In this state, when the knob 49b is operated in one direction, the inclined surface 50a pushes up the second end of the plate-like lever 42, and the stopper 22b is submerged from the travel path 20. At this time, the lever 41 also moves through the plate lever 42, the plate lever 45, and the plate lever 45, and the stopper 22 a is submerged from the travel path 20.

  The plate lever 43 has a second end (base end) opposite to the first end supported rotatably by a shaft 43a. An intermediate portion of the plate lever 43 is urged upward by a spring 51. The first end of the plate lever 43 is connected to the first end of the plate lever 52 via a spring 54. Specifically, a spring hook portion (not shown) is provided at the first end portion of the plate lever 43 and the first end portion of the plate lever 52, and the spring 54 is provided at both spring hook portions. The spring 54 connects the first end of the plate lever 43 and the first end of the plate lever 52.

The plate lever 52 is rotatably supported by a central shaft 52a. The plate lever 52 is used when another traveling path 55 (see FIG. 6) is connected to the tower 10 instead of the traveling path 21.
In this different travel path 55, unlike the short travel path 21, a plurality of toy vehicles A may travel on the travel path 55. Therefore, in order to connect the traveling path 53 to the tower 10 to form a double stopper structure, a stopper 56 is erected on the first end of the other traveling path 55 as shown in FIG. 5B. A plate-like lever 57 is provided, and the second end opposite to the first end is inserted into the lower side of the second end of the plate-like lever 52 opposite to the first end. Are configured to contact each other. The plate lever 57 is rotatably supported by an intermediate shaft 57a.

Further, the drive device 30 includes a cam mechanism for operating the plate levers 41, 43 and the like. This driving device 30 also constitutes a stopper operating means.
That is, as shown in FIG. 5A, the plate-like lever 41 is provided with a rod-like cam follower 41b on the side surface of the intermediate portion. On the other hand, the rotating shaft 13 of the spiral plate 14 is formed with an annular surface on the lower peripheral edge, and a cam 48 is formed on the annular surface. A cam follower 41 b is in contact with the cam 48. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the plate-like lever 43 is provided with a rod-like cam follower 43b on the side surface of the intermediate portion. The cam follower 43b is in contact with the cam 48 of the rotating shaft.

Next, the operation of the cam mechanism will be described.
First, focusing on the plate-like lever 41, when the rotary shaft 13 rotates and the valley of the cam 48 comes to the position of the cam follower 41b of the lever 41, the bias of the spring 44 causes the lever 41 to move toward the valley of the cam 48. The cam follower 41b is pressed. At this time, since the tip of the lever 41 takes the raised position, the stopper 22a protrudes into the travel path 20. At this time, the levers 45 and 42 are also operated in conjunction with the operation of the lever 41, and the stopper 22 b is also projected to the traveling path 20.
On the other hand, when the rotating shaft 13 of the spiral plate 14 further rotates and the peak of the cam 48 comes to the position of the cam follower 41b of the lever 41, the cam follower 41b of the lever 41 is pressed against the peak of the cam 48 by the biasing force of the spring 44. Is done. At this time, since the tip of the lever 41 takes the lowered position, the stopper 22a is in a state of being submerged from the travel path 20. At this time, the levers 45 and 42 are also operated in conjunction with the operation of the lever 41, and the stopper 22 b is also submerged from the travel path 20.

  If attention is paid to the plate lever 43, when the rotating shaft 13 of the spiral plate 14 is rotated and the cam follower 43b is located at the valley of the cam 48, the stopper 22c is projected to the traveling path 20 by the urging force of the spring 51. is there. On the other hand, when the mountain of the cam 48 reaches the cam follower 43b, the lever 43 is pushed downward by the cam 48, and the stopper 22c is submerged in the travel path 20.

Next, the overall operation of the lifting apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.
Immediately before the lower end of the spiral plate 14 comes to the first entrance 12 due to the rotation, the stopper 22c of the travel path 21 is lowered, and the toy vehicle A is introduced into the tower 10 from the first entrance 12. When the spiral plate 14 further rotates, the lower end of the spiral plate 14 enters under the toy vehicle A. Then, the toy vehicle A is pushed by the spiral plate 14 so that the front surface of the toy vehicle A contacts the inner surface of the right side wall of the tower 10 and the right side surface of the toy vehicle A contacts the front wall of the tower 10. Thereafter, the toy vehicle A maintains its posture by its own weight. That is, the toy vehicle A placed on the spiral plate 14 tilts forward (since the spiral plate 14 has a downward slope toward the front of the toy vehicle A), and the front surface of the toy vehicle A abuts against the right side wall of the tower 10. At the same time, the right side surface of the toy vehicle A comes into contact with the front wall of the tower 10. When the spiral plate 14 further rotates, the toy vehicle A is raised by the spiral plate 14. When the raised toy vehicle A approaches the first outlet 11, the right side surface of the toy vehicle A comes into sliding contact with the guide 15, whereby the front portion of the toy vehicle A is directed inward. When the toy vehicle A reaches the first outlet 11, the toy vehicle A slides on the spiral plate 14 and is discharged from the first outlet 11 to the travel path 20. The toy vehicle A travels downward along the travel path 20 and is temporarily stopped by the stopper 22b of the travel path 20. Thereafter, the stopper 22b is lowered at the timing when the front toy vehicle A is introduced into the tower 10 from the second entrance 16 by the lowering of the stopper 22a, and the toy vehicle A travels again. Thereafter, the stopper 22a protrudes from the travel path 20, and the toy vehicle A is temporarily stopped by the stopper 22a. Then, the stopper 22a is lowered, and the toy vehicle A is introduced into the tower 10 from the second entrance 16. The timing of this introduction is immediately before the lower end of the spiral plate 14 reaches the second inlet 16 due to the rotation. Then, when the spiral plate 14 further rotates, the lower end of the spiral plate 14 enters under the toy vehicle A. The toy vehicle A is pushed by the spiral plate 14 so that the front surface of the toy vehicle A is brought into contact with the left side wall of the tower 10 and the right side surface of the toy vehicle A is brought into contact with the rear wall of the tower 10. When the spiral plate 14 further rotates, the toy vehicle A is lifted by the spiral plate 14. When the toy vehicle A reaches the second exit 17, the toy vehicle A slides on the spiral plate 14, and the toy vehicle A is discharged from the second exit 17 to the travel path 21. Thereafter, the toy vehicle A travels downward along the travel path 21 and is temporarily stopped by the stopper 22 c of the travel path 21.

  Further, when the knob 38b of the clutch 38 is operated, the power transmission path of the driving device 30 is interrupted, so that the spiral plate 14 can be manually rotated by rotating the head of the tower 10. At this time, the cam followers 41b and 43b are pressed downward by the mountain of the cam 48, or the stoppers 22a, 22b and 22c can be immersed in the traveling path 20 by operating the knob 49a.
