TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of toy cars, in particular to an accessory thereof, and a toy car system

BACKGROUND ART

With the continuous progress of the times and people's concern for children's growth, toy cars, as one of the classics toys for children, can exercise hand-eye coordination and develop intelligence, so they are highly favored by users all over the world.

However, there is a common problem in the current toy cars, which is the adaptability between the track and the toy car. Traditional track design usually needs to precisely match the size and structure of the toy car to ensure that the toy car can smoothly run on the track. This greatly limits the use of toy car products, resulting in production and design constraints, and in the event that one of the toy cars or toy tracks is damaged, the user is forced to purchase an entire new product to match. Moreover, since different sizes or types of toy cars may require different tracks, it greatly increases the complexity of manufacturing and production costs.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a toy car that can effectively solve the above problems, and can realize that different shapes of toy cars can be adapted to fit the same track building blocks, which greatly reduces the production and manufacturing costs.
