Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and in particular to a soft bullet launching device for a toy pistol. Background Technology
[0002] Soft bullet toy guns are among the most popular toy guns currently available. The soft bullets used in these guns typically have cotton tips or suction cups, which do not cause harm to the human body after being fired, and are gradually replacing toy guns made of other materials.
[0003] To attract players, soft bullet toy guns typically mimic the appearance of real firearms, incorporating both a chamber for loading the soft bullets and an air cylinder for firing them. Because soft bullets are relatively long, the chamber usually occupies a significant portion of the gun's frame, and the air cylinder also requires a long piston stroke to provide sufficient momentum for firing the bullets. Therefore, most existing soft bullet toy guns are large firearms with long barrels. While pistol-shaped soft bullet toy guns exist, these toy pistols, due to their shorter barrels and shorter piston strokes, often fail to fire the bullets effectively or have a shorter firing distance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a soft bullet launching device for a toy gun. This soft bullet launching device can provide sufficient stretching space for the piston rod of the air cylinder, so that the toy gun can also launch soft bullets smoothly, and can also simulate the actions of loading and firing a pistol, effectively improving the simulation of the soft bullet toy gun.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] A soft-bullet firing device for a toy pistol includes a bolt, trigger, and air cylinder mounted on the toy pistol body. The bolt is movable back and forth along the toy pistol body. The device is characterized by further including an air tube, a loading mechanism, and a limiting linkage. The air cylinder is disposed in the grip of the toy pistol body, and the air tube is connected to the air outlet of the air cylinder. The loading mechanism includes a bolt linkage assembly and a piston rod return spring. The bolt linkage assembly is disposed in the toy pistol body, and the bolt is linked to the piston rod of the air cylinder via the bolt linkage assembly. One end of the piston rod return spring is connected to the toy pistol body, and the other end of the piston rod return spring is connected to the piston rod of the air cylinder or the bolt linkage assembly. The limiting linkage is disposed in the toy pistol body, with one end linked to the trigger and the other end of the limiting linkage having a limiting element that prevents the piston rod from returning to its original position during the loading state.
[0007] The aforementioned loaded state refers to the piston rod of the air cylinder being in its maximum extended state. The toy pistol body also includes a soft-bullet chamber for holding soft bullets, and the air cylinder is connected to this chamber via an air tube. When using the soft-bullet launching device, the bolt is first pulled back to load the pistol. The bolt linkage assembly moves accordingly, pulling the piston rod of the air cylinder and simultaneously stretching the piston rod return spring. After the piston rod reaches its maximum extended state, the limiting component on the limiting linkage prevents the piston rod from immediately returning to its original position under the action of the piston rod return spring. At this point, the toy pistol is loaded. Then, simply pulling the trigger activates the limiting linkage, removing the limiting component from obstructing the piston rod. The piston rod then quickly returns to its original position under the action of the piston rod return spring, allowing the air cylinder to fire the soft bullet. This soft bullet launching device incorporates an air cylinder within the grip, connected to the soft bullet chamber via an air tube. This design allows the air cylinder to operate without taking up space in the gun body, and its extension along the grip enables a larger capacity air cylinder. It also provides a longer stroke for the air cylinder piston rod, ensuring smooth firing of the soft bullet. Furthermore, the loading and firing actions are identical to those of a real pistol, which involves pulling the bolt to load the bullet and pulling the trigger to fire, resulting in a higher degree of simulation.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the air tube includes a grip section and a receiver section. The grip section is located within the handle of the toy pistol body, and the receiver section is located within the receiver of the toy pistol body. The angle between the receiver section and the grip section is 95°-120°. Depending on the angle between the receiver and the grip in the toy pistol body, the air tube also adopts a structure with different angles between the receiver section and the grip section.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a first pushing block is provided on the inner wall of the bolt. The bolt linkage assembly includes a first linkage member and a second linkage member. The first linkage member is movably disposed in the body of the toy pistol. A first guide block is provided at the front end of the first linkage member. A first guide hole matching the first guide block is opened on the body of the toy pistol. The first guide hole gradually extends downward from front to back. The first guide block extends out from the first guide hole and is located behind the first pushing block. The second linkage member is movably disposed in the grip of the toy pistol. The upper end of the second linkage member is hinged to the rear end of the first linkage member. A second guide block is provided on the second linkage member. A second guide hole matching the second guide block is opened on the grip of the toy pistol. The direction of the second guide hole is the same as the extension direction of the cylinder piston rod. The second guide block is located in the second guide hole. The lower end of the second linkage member is linked with the lower end of the cylinder piston rod. The upper end of the piston rod return spring is connected to the toy pistol body, and the lower end of the piston rod return spring is connected to the second linkage member. When the bolt is pulled back to chamber a round, the first push block on the bolt pushes the first guide block, causing the first guide block to move backward and downward along the first guide hole. At this time, the rear end of the first linkage pushes the second linkage to move downward along the second guide hole, thereby pulling the piston rod of the gas cylinder to extend. After the trigger is pulled, the second linkage can move upward again at the piston rod return spring, thereby pushing the bolt forward again through the first linkage.
[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the first linkage is arc-shaped, and a roller is provided at its rear end. Due to the size limitations of the pistol model, the downward tilt angle of the first guide hole cannot be set too large. By making the first linkage arc-shaped, when the first guide block moves along the first guide hole, the rear end of the first linkage can move downward or upward a longer distance, ensuring the extension degree of the cylinder piston rod. Furthermore, the arc-shaped first linkage can avoid other components and will not cause obstruction during design and installation. Simultaneously, the roller at the rear end of the first linkage reduces most of the resistance when driving the first and second linkages, making loading easier. Typically, the roller is located at the hinge position of the first and second linkages.
[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the lower end of the second linkage is provided with a second pushing block, and the lower end of the air cylinder piston rod is provided with a first protruding protrusion, which is located below the second pushing block. When the lower end of the second linkage moves downward, it can push the first protrusion through the second pushing block, thereby causing the air cylinder piston rod to extend downward; when the air cylinder piston rod moves upward to reset, it can push the second pushing block through the first protrusion, thereby causing the second linkage to move upward. The aforementioned outward direction is determined by the air cylinder axis, and the position away from the air cylinder axis is considered outward.
[0012] In another further preferred embodiment, the lower end of the second linkage is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder piston rod. The second linkage and the cylinder piston rod can move synchronously.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the soft bullet launching device further includes a torsion spring. The middle part of the limiting linkage is rotatably mounted in the grip of the toy pistol body via the torsion spring. One end of the torsion spring is connected to or in close contact with the outer wall of the air cylinder, and the other end is connected to or in close contact with the grip. The upper end of the limiting linkage corresponds to the position of the trigger, and the lower end of the limiting linkage is provided with the limiting member. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger can push the upper end of the limiting linkage to rotate the limiting linkage around its middle part, so that the limiting member no longer obstructs the piston rod. After the trigger is released, the limiting linkage can rotate back to its original position under the action of the torsion spring, and the upper end of the limiting linkage can also push the trigger back to its original position.
[0014] In a further preferred embodiment, the upper end of the cylinder piston rod is provided with a second protruding protrusion, the lower surface of which gradually slopes inward from top to bottom. The limiting member is a stop block that matches the second protrusion, the upper surface of which gradually slopes inward from top to bottom. When the trigger is not pulled, the stop block is located at the lower edge of the cylinder body and extends inward. The aforementioned inward direction is determined by the cylinder axis, with the position closest to the cylinder axis being considered inward. During loading, the cylinder piston rod moves downward. When the second protrusion contacts the stop block, the upper surface of the second protrusion can contact the upper surface of the stop block, pushing the lower end of the limiting linkage to swing outward, causing the second protrusion to move from above the stop block to below the stop block. Subsequently, the limiting linkage is reset under the action of the torsion spring, and the stop block blocks the second protrusion, restricting the cylinder piston rod from resetting until the trigger is pulled.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This soft bullet launching device can provide sufficient stretching space for the piston rod of the air cylinder, so that the toy gun can also launch soft bullets smoothly, and can also simulate the action of loading and firing a pistol, effectively improving the simulation of the soft bullet toy gun.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0023] like Figure 1-6 The toy pistol shown has a soft bullet launching device, including a bolt 1, trigger 2, air cylinder 3, air tube 4, loading mechanism 5, and limiting linkage 6, all mounted on the toy pistol body. The bolt 1 can move back and forth along the toy pistol body. The air cylinder 3 is located in the grip 7 of the toy pistol body, and the air tube 4 is connected to the air outlet of the air cylinder 3. The loading mechanism 5 includes a bolt linkage assembly 501 and a piston rod return spring 502. The bolt linkage assembly 501 is located in the toy pistol body, and the bolt 1 is linked to the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 through the bolt linkage assembly 501. One end of the piston rod return spring 502 is connected to the toy pistol body, and the other end of the piston rod return spring 502 is connected to the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3. The limiting linkage 6 is located in the toy pistol body, with one end linked to the trigger 2 and the other end of the limiting linkage 6 having a limiting member 601 that can prevent the piston rod 301 from returning to its original position when the toy pistol is loaded.
[0024] The aforementioned loaded state refers to the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 being in its maximum extended state. The toy pistol body 8 is also provided with a soft bullet chamber for holding soft bullets, and the air cylinder 3 is connected to the soft bullet chamber through the air pipe 4. When using the aforementioned soft bullet launching device, first pull back the bolt 1 to chamber a round. The bolt linkage assembly 501 moves accordingly under the action of the bolt 1, thereby pulling the piston rod 301 of the gas cylinder 3. At the same time, the piston rod return spring 502 is stretched. After the piston rod 301 reaches its maximum stretch state, the limiting member 601 on the limiting linkage 6 blocks the piston rod 301, preventing the piston rod 301 from immediately returning to its original position under the action of the piston rod return spring 502. At this time, the toy pistol is chambered. Then, simply pull the trigger 2 to make the trigger 2 drive the limiting linkage 6 to move, so that the limiting member 601 on the limiting linkage 6 no longer blocks the piston rod 301. At this time, the piston rod 301 can quickly return to its original position under the action of the piston rod return spring 502, allowing the gas cylinder 3 to launch the soft bullet through air. This soft bullet launching device places the air cylinder 3 in the grip 7 and connects it to the soft bullet chamber via the air tube 4. This allows the air cylinder 3 to not occupy the space of the gun body 8 and to extend along the grip 7. The air cylinder 3 can have a larger capacity and provides a longer stroke for the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3, ensuring smooth firing of the soft bullet. At the same time, the actions of loading and firing are the same as those of pulling the bolt 1 to load the gun and pulling the trigger 2 to fire in an actual pistol, which has a higher degree of simulation.
[0025] The air tube 4 includes a grip section 401 and a receiver section 402. The grip section 401 is located in the grip 7 of the toy pistol body, and the receiver section 402 is located in the receiver 8 of the toy pistol body. The angle between the receiver section 402 and the grip section 401 is 108°. Based on the angle between the receiver 8 and the grip 7 in the toy pistol body, the air tube 4 also adopts a structure with a different angle between the receiver section 402 and the grip section 401.
[0026] The inner wall of the bolt 1 is provided with a first push block 101. The bolt linkage assembly 501 includes a first linkage member 5011 and a second linkage member 5012. The first linkage member 5011 is movably disposed in the gun body 8 of the toy pistol body. The front end of the first linkage member 5011 is provided with a first guide block 50111. The gun body 8 of the toy pistol body has a first guide hole 801 that matches the first guide block 50111. The first guide hole 801 gradually extends downward from front to back. The first guide block 50111 extends out of the first guide hole 801 and is located behind the first push block 101. The second linkage member 5012 is movably disposed in the grip of the toy pistol body. In part 7, the upper end of the second linkage 5012 is hinged to the rear end of the first linkage 5011. The second linkage 5012 is provided with a second guide block 50121. The grip 7 of the toy gun body has a second guide hole 701 that matches the second guide block 50121. The direction of the second guide hole 701 is the same as the extension direction of the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3. The second guide block 50121 is located in the second guide hole 701. The lower end of the second linkage 5012 is linked with the lower end of the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3. The upper end of the piston rod return spring 502 is connected to the toy gun body, and the lower end of the piston rod return spring 502 is connected to the second linkage 5012. When the bolt 1 is pulled back to chamber a round, the first push block 101 on the bolt 1 pushes the first guide block 50111, causing the first guide block 50111 to move backward and downward along the first guide hole 801. At this time, the rear end of the first linkage 5011 pushes the second linkage 5012 to move downward along the second guide hole 701, thereby pulling the piston rod 301 of the gas cylinder 3 to stretch. After the trigger 2 is pulled, the second linkage 5012 can move upward again in the piston rod return spring 502, thereby pushing the bolt 1 forward again through the first linkage 5011.
[0027] The first linkage 5011 is arc-shaped, and a roller 50112 is provided at its rear end. Due to the size limitations of the pistol model, the downward tilt angle of the first guide hole 801 cannot be set too large. By making the first linkage 5011 arc-shaped, when the first guide block 50111 moves along the first guide hole 801, the rear end of the first linkage 5011 can move a longer distance downward or upward, ensuring the extension degree of the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3. Furthermore, the arc-shaped first linkage 5011 can avoid other components and will not cause obstruction during design and installation. Simultaneously, the roller 50112 at the rear end of the first linkage 5011 reduces most of the resistance when driving the first linkage 5011 and the second linkage 5012, making loading easier. The roller 50112 is located at the hinge position of the first linkage 5011 and the second linkage 5012.
[0028] The lower end of the second linkage 5012 is provided with a second pushing block 50122, and the lower end of the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 is provided with a first protruding protrusion 3011, which is located below the second pushing block 50122. When the lower end of the second linkage 5012 moves downward, it can push the first protrusion 3011 through the second pushing block 50122, thereby causing the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 to be stretched downward; when the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 moves upward to reset, it can push the second pushing block 50122 through the first protrusion 3011, thereby causing the second linkage 5012 to move upward. The above-mentioned outward direction is determined by the axis of the air cylinder 3, and the position away from the axis of the air cylinder 3 is considered outward.
[0029] The soft bullet launching device also includes a torsion spring 9. The middle part of the limiting linkage 6 is rotatably mounted in the grip 7 of the toy gun body via the torsion spring 9. One end of the torsion spring 9 is connected to or in close contact with the outer wall of the air cylinder 3, and the other end of the torsion spring 9 is connected to or in close contact with the grip 7. The upper end of the limiting linkage 6 corresponds to the position of the trigger 2, and the lower end of the limiting linkage 6 is provided with a limiting member 601. When the trigger 2 is pulled, the trigger 2 can push the upper end of the limiting linkage 6 to make the limiting linkage 6 rotate around the middle part, so that the limiting member 601 no longer blocks the piston rod 301. After the trigger 2 is released, the limiting linkage 6 can rotate back to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 9, and the upper end of the limiting linkage 6 can also push the trigger 2 to return to its original position.
[0030] The upper end of the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 is provided with a second protruding protrusion 3012, the lower surface of which gradually slopes inward from top to bottom. The limiting member 601 is a stop that matches the second protrusion 3012, the upper surface of which gradually slopes inward from top to bottom. When the trigger 2 is not pulled, the stop is located at the lower edge of the air cylinder 3 and extends inward. The aforementioned inward direction is determined by the axis of the air cylinder 3, and the position closer to the axis of the air cylinder 3 is considered inward. During loading, the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 moves downward. When the second protrusion 3012 contacts the stop block, the upper surface of the second protrusion 3012 can contact the upper surface of the stop block, pushing the lower end of the limiting linkage 6 to swing outward, so that the second protrusion 3012 moves from above the stop block to below the stop block. Then, the limiting linkage 6 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 9, and the stop block blocks the second protrusion 3012, restricting the piston rod 301 of the air cylinder 3 from resetting, until the trigger 2 is pulled.
