DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 to 3, the model vehicle traveling device is provided with a lower chain guide bottom plate 12. The lower chain guide bottom plate 12 is provided with a chain guide groove 121 formed along a driving path set on an upper surface thereof. The chain guide groove 121 forms a closed loop shape that is formed along the travel path.

The lower chain guide bottom plate 12 may include a flat or curved portion or an inclined portion. Therefore, the lower chain guide bottom plate 12 may have a slope section or a curved section according to the height of the terrain. At this time, the chain guide groove 121 is inclined in the inclined section and appears in a curved form in the curved section.

The upper road surface plate 14 used as the road surface of the model vehicle 10 is located at the upper portion of the lower chain guide bottom plate 12. The upper road surface plate 14 is spaced upwardly from the lower chain guide bottom plate 12. At this time, the upper road surface plate 14 has the same slope and curved surface as the lower chain guide bottom plate 12.

Here, the lower chain guide bottom plate 12 further includes driving support jaws 122 and 122 protruding upward along the driving path from the side of the chain guide groove 121 to support the upper road surface plate 14. Can be.

The travel chain 20 is disposed in the chain guide groove 121. The driving chain 20 is configured such that a plurality of chain blocks 22 are hinged to each other to form a closed loop as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the total length of the traveling chain 20 is configured to be the same as the entire loop length of the chain guide groove 121.

Chain block 22 has a chain block 22 is configured as shown in Figure 4 so as to pass through both the straight line and the curved section and the slope section according to the height. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the chain block 22 has a flat upper and lower surfaces to form a parallel plane with each other, and a corner portion having a round curved surface, and a pin connection hole 222a at one end of the block body 221. A female connecting ring 222 having a male connecting ring 223 having a connecting pin 223a at the other end thereof is provided. In addition, the connecting pin 223a and the pin connecting hole 222a are formed in a vertical direction with respect to the upper or lower surface of the block body 221, and the connecting pin 223a is a pin between the adjacent chain blocks 22 and 22. When coupled to the connection hole 222a, the inner diameter of the pin connection hole 222a is relatively larger than the outer diameter of the connection pin 223a so as to have a predetermined gap. At this time, the width of the block body 221 is configured to be the same or slightly smaller than the width of the chain guide groove 121. In addition, the block body 221 has a length that can be located in the adjacent teeth of the drive sprocket 32 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, the chain blocks 22 can be hinged with respect to the center axis of the interconnecting pin 223a or the pin connecting hole 222a, and the chain guide groove 121 slightly depends on the degree of inclination of the inclined section (inclined surface). It is combined with the step of.

Permanent magnets 10a and 22a are installed on at least one of the model vehicle 10 and the plurality of chain blocks 22 so that different magnetic poles face each other. For example, the permanent magnet 10a on the side of the model vehicle 10 and the permanent magnet 22a on the side of the chain block 22 may be installed to face the S pole and the N pole. Chain block 22 having a permanent magnet can be installed freely increasing by the number of installation of the model vehicle (10). Therefore, it is possible to increase the running number of the model car as the installation location of the permanent magnet to the chain block 22 increases.

A drive motor 30 for driving the driving chain 20 is installed. The driving motor 30 has a driving sprocket 32 installed on the lower chain guide bottom plate 12 side as shown in FIG. Therefore, the rotational force of the drive motor 30 is transmitted to the travel chain 20 via the drive sprocket 32. The drive motor 30 may be a geared motor having a reduction gear.

The operation of the present embodiment thus configured will be described.

Power is applied to the drive motor 30 in a state where the model vehicle 10 is located above the travel chain 20 and disposed on the upper road surface plate 14.

Therefore, the drive sprocket 32 connected to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 30 is driven to rotate in one direction (the driving direction of the vehicle), and as shown in FIG. 5, the rotational force is transmitted to the travel chain 20 which is bitten by the drive sprocket 32. At the same time, the driving chain 20 rotates along the lower chain guide bottom plate 12 side chain guide groove 121.

At this time, when the chain block 22 having the permanent magnet 22a passes below the model car 10, the permanent magnet 10a built in the model car 10 is attracted with different polarities, and the model car 10 is driven along the driving path set by the driving chain 20. That is, the model car 10 travels along the chain guide groove 121 in which the driving chain 20 is disposed while the vehicle wheel makes a rolling motion on the upper road plate 14.

At this time, the driving chain 20 passes freely through the inclined section having a curved section and a height by the hinge coupling of the connecting pin 223a and the pin connecting hole 222a between the chain blocks 22. Particularly, in the inclined section, the connecting pin 223a has a smaller diameter than the pin connecting hole 222a coupled thereto, thereby smoothly passing the inclined section of the traveling chain 20 while accommodating the height difference. Therefore, the model car 10 may be driven on a road having a height of the terrain.

In the present embodiment, the driving of one model car 10 has been described as an example, but as necessary, the number of model cars 10 may be increased by the number of permanent magnets 22a installed in the driving chain 20. Of course it can.

As described above, according to the present invention, the driving chain 20 is disposed on the lower chain guide bottom plate 12 along the driving path, and the driving chain 30 is translated by the driving chain 30 so as to follow the driving path. The model car 10 disposed on the road surface plate 14 is driven by the magnetic force to drive. At this time, the driving chain 20 is a model car by a translational motion progresses not only in a straight section and a winding curve section but also in an inclined section of a high and low terrain by a hinge coupling method through a connecting pin 223a between the chain blocks 22. The 10 runs in a straight and curved form, as well as smoothly running in the height of the terrain.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the above teachings. will be. The invention is not limited by these variations and modifications, but is limited only by the claims appended hereto.
