RU2359731C2 - Toy motorway for electric vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: health, games.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns the toy motorways intended for movement of electric vehicles. The toy motorway of electric vehicles which contains a roadbed from an electrically insulating material and conductors for current supply to the electric vehicles, is executed in the form of the electrocontact field distributed on a surface of the roadbed and having lines of rupture. Conductors are located on the roadbed or over it, lengthways or across the motorway with identical step. The slip rings are established on the vehicle on the distance not peer to a step of the roadbed conductors. One more pair of the slip rings which is displaced concerning the first one in a cross-section direction with exception possibility of discontinuing of supply is in addition entered, to each pair, and the device straightening the current and the electric motor with the actuation device are connected to them. Thus the width of the slip ring is less than width of the line of rupture between conductors of the roadbed with possibility of exception of short circuit of conductors of the roadbed slip rings at their shift in a cross-section direction.

EFFECT: exclusion of discontinuing of slip rings supply.

Description

The invention relates to toy freeways designed for the movement of electric vehicles. It can be used to power vehicles with electric traction.

Known toy highway, which contains a roadway made of insulating material, and conductors for supplying power to electric vehicles. The conductors are made in the form of an electric contact field distributed over the surface of the roadbed and having a longitudinal line of discontinuity (patent No. 2007208).

There are known motorways with two electrically conductive tires and a groove between them for fixing current collectors when driving ("Competition Rules", Moscow. DOSAAF Publishing House).

The disadvantage of these freeways is the impossibility of switching from one pair of conductors to another in motion, for example, when overtaking.

The objectives of the invention:

- creation of a toy motorway of electric drive vehicles with the possibility of moving from one pair of supply conductors to another in motion, for example, when overtaking or crossing to another motorway;

- the creation of current collectors, eliminating power interruption during the transition from one pair of contacts to another.

The technical result consists in eliminating the indicated disadvantages of toy freeways designed for the movement of electric vehicles. It is achieved due to the fact that the conductors (1) are located on the road surface or above it, along or across the motorway with the same pitch. Current collectors (2) are installed on the vehicle at a distance not equal to the pitch of the conductors (1) of the roadbed. Another pair of current collectors (3) was introduced, which is offset from the first in the transverse direction with the possibility of eliminating power interruption. In this case, the width of the current collector is less than the width of the line of the gap between the conductors of the roadway with the possibility of eliminating the closure of the conductors of the roadway by the current collectors when they are shifted in the transverse direction (Fig. 1).

When the current collectors move in the transverse direction, for example, when overtaking or the vehicle changes to another freeway, the polarity on the current collectors changes. Therefore, a rectifying current device (4) is connected to each pair of current collectors (2), (3), and an electric motor (5) with a control device (6) is connected to them (figure 2).

The current collectors (2), (3) can freely move along and across the electric contact field, so the conductors (1) of the roadway can be installed in the direction of movement of the vehicle or perpendicular to it (Fig.3).

To simulate trolleybus movement, conductors (1) can be located above the roadbed. In this case, there are no difficulties when overtaking other trolleybuses and switching to other lines (Fig. 4).

The inventive device has been tested. Instead of batteries, a rectifier and current collectors located on the cover of the plug-in unit were installed in the radio-controlled car model. For the track in the gym, linoleum was rolled out, on which identical strips of thin foil were glued. Figure 5 (top view) shows the electrical contact field with a drawn path (dashed line) and the location of the contacts of the current collectors on the vehicle.
