The control circuit is preferably Is provided in the central chassis portion 30 and includes a wireless receiver 102-preferably a radio frequency (RF) receiver; a pre-programmed microprocessor or microcontroller 1 () 4, which is in line with the receiver 1 () 2 keep working connection, please w control circuit with m moving / steering motor control circuit 106: 'The two control circuits are best completed Similarly, each drive / rotation control circuit is moved-a separate motor 46, 46, the two motors are preferably the same. The microprocessor 104 responds to the control signal received by the receiver 102 from the remote control unit ιΐ2 = To control the work of the motors 46 and 46 ', the remote control unit 112 can generate and send wireless control signals related to maneuvering. By performing control on the two motors 46 and 46', they are in the same direction, Driving the wheels 42 and 44 at the same speed can drive the toy car 10, and by controlling each motor, the wheels on the sides 16 and 18 of the chassis portions 40 and 70 on both sides are different. Driving, the different bodies 20 have different directions, different speeds, or different directions and speeds. By driving the cars 42 and 44 on opposite sides 16, 18 in opposite directions, the toy car 10 can complete the in-situ rotation. The centrifugal force causes the longitudinal free ends of the respective side chassis portions 40, 70 located at the first longitudinal end 12 of the toy vehicle 10 to expand apart from each other. The mutual expansion of the side chassis portions 40 and 70 will cause the center of gravity of the 10 M251635 toy car 10 to move further toward the second longitudinal end 14, so that if the vehicle 10 continues to circle in place, its first longitudinal end 12 will be It is raised and revolves around the second longitudinal end 14 so as to be in the upright state shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that during the execution of this maneuver, the vehicle 10 tends to be supported by 5 on the corners and side walls of the wheel 44 located on the second end 14 of the toy vehicle 10. According to the present invention, although the light source 36 can usually be hard-wired to the battery power source 38, and when an off / on switch 110 is placed in the ON position to close the circuit flowing through the battery 38, the The light source remains on, 10 but preferably: the light source 36 is individually connected to the circuit via a switch (eg, a transistor, which is not shown separately) controlled by the microprocessor 104. In this way, the lighting of each light source 36 will be independent and controlled by the selection of the microprocessor 104. In addition, according to the present invention, the control circuit 100 may be designed to control the light source 36 in more than one operation mode. The control circuit 100—more preferably, the microprocessor 104 is designed to operate the light source 36 in at least two different modes of operation. This effect can be achieved in a number of ways. The present invention is characterized in that the control circuit 100 is designed to selectively supply power in response to a signal so as to light up at least one light 36, wherein the signal indicates that the toy 20 and the car 10 are performing a special stunt action. As described above, the toy car 10 can perform a special stunt action in which it stands up with its second end 14 and turns in place with its side chassis portions 40, 70 from the center The chassis portion 30 opens outwards. Preferably, the toy car 10 is provided with a quick-closing switch 80 (see FIG. 4), and its 11 M251635 is set to: when at least one side chassis portion 40, 70 swings away from the center chassis portion 30 ( This can happen when the toy car 10 is completing some types of maneuver maneuver), and its state will change. Thus, the switch 80 is adapted to detect the position of at least one of the side chassis portions 40, 70 relative to the center chassis portion 30, so that the signal is generated by the switch. Preferably, the microprocessor 104 is designed to operate the LED 36 according to the state of the switch 80 according to two different modes. The switch 80 and the microprocessor 104 maintain communication, and the line 80 will be generated by the switch 80 along the line 82. The signal is sent to the microprocessor 104. Unless the side chassis part 40 or 70 is swung away from the center chassis 10 part 30, the switch 80 is in a first state, and the microprocessor 104 responds to this state and controls the LED 36 according to the first operating mode For example, to continuously illuminate certain LEDs (such as the pair of LEDs installed on the side chassis portion), or all LEDs. If the switch 80 is in another state, and this state indicates that at least one of the side chassis parts 15 40, 70 operatively swung away from the center chassis part 30, the microprocessor will operate in another mode For example, to light up some LEDs 36 (such as the pair of LEDs installed on the connecting rod or the pair of LEDs installed on the side chassis part), or all of the LEDs. The graph in Figure 5 indicates the light source 36. The recommended sequence of operations is 20, which includes the process of lighting all the LEDs 36 over time in a changing manner. To this end, the power supplied to the at least one light 36 is modulated as a function of time, thereby changing the luminous brightness of said at least one light. The graph in Fig. 5 shows the change of the light emission intensity with time. Preferably, the working conditions, that is, the change of the LED luminous intensity, are performed between consecutive time periods of 12 M251635, wherein the time periods are marked as Ti, T2, etc. in the figure. Although these periods are equal in the figure, they do not have to be so. For the first time period T1 (for example, about 5 seconds long), in the entire time period of the time period (that is, in a five second time period); or, if desired, in the main part of the time period 5 (for example, Within about 4 seconds), the brightness of LED36 changes from zero to 50% of the maximum brightness, and then changes back to zero. This is repeated twice, and the rate of change is uniform. If the switch 80 remains in the second state after the end of the first time period D1, the microprocessor 104 enters the second time period T2 and is in the second light emitting mode. In the process, the entire time In the 10 segment T2, the brightness of the LED 36 changes from zero to 75% of the maximum brightness according to a constant rate of change, and then becomes zero again. This is repeated four times. If after the time period T2 (that is, more than 10 seconds), the switch 80 is still in the second state, it enters the third period T3 and the third mode, in which the brightness changes from zero to the maximum at a uniform rate of change Brightness and repeat eight times. If it enters the fourth 15th period T4 in sequence, the LED 36 is continuously lit with the maximum brightness throughout the entire period. If the fifth period T5 is entered, the LED 36 is turned off during the entire period. Therefore, the periods T4 and T5 together constitute an on-off loop. If it enters the sixth period T6, the operation of the LED 36 will be intermittent, or as shown in the figure, between two pairs of full-brightness continuous flashes, there will be a complete off period, or each individual flashing There is a discontinuity between the light (not shown in the figure), so as to form a strobe effect. As each successive time period is continuously entered, other lighting modes may be formed. As an alternative, it is also possible to repeat each of the previously passed modes, or to repeat the last mode indefinitely. Some other possible modes include: reducing the brightness level to a level other than 13 M251635, or a random look-up table zero level, and lighting each light source in a tandem order in various pairs. The microprocessor 104 can use its memory to control different lighting modes. Those skilled in the art can appreciate that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope of the broad concept of the present invention. Example f The Μ processor may not work in response to a detected bear on the vehicle, but may be programmed to perform a restraint in response to different command operations. For example, when the vehicle is instructed to move forward, the first The lighting operation is performed in the mode, and when the vehicle is instructed to retreat, the lighting is performed according to another mode. 10 is another mode when turning, and another mode is used when stopping. A model. If the toy car can transform itself into a state such as described in U.S. Pat. Action, you can change the lighting mode by returning to the 15th party, executing the transformation or completing the stunt instructions. Therefore, it can be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, but all modifications within the design idea and protection scope of the present invention are covered by the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims.
