Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of firearms equipment, and in particular to a directional unlocking firearms control system. Background Art

[0002] Shooting ranges, shooting clubs and other industries have their own particularities, allowing designated personnel to hold firearms and ammunition and perform shooting actions. However, there is also a possibility that after the designated personnel hold the firearm, they will shoot at other people around them or escape with the gun, which will cause great safety hazards. The current general management method is to fix the muzzle direction and the position of the firearm by means of iron chains, etc. to prevent the above situation from happening, but this solution will greatly affect the freedom of use, reduce the user experience of the shooting club, and there are still hidden dangers such as loose chains. There is also a method of identifying the muzzle pointing angle through a gyroscope, which is substantially different from the implementation method of the present invention, and the firearm cannot be locked. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the characteristics of the shooting club industry and the existing hidden risks, the present invention provides a method for unlocking firearms only in a specified direction, which locks the firearms to prevent random shooting and escaping with the gun. Normal shooting is allowed only when the muzzle faces the specified direction. There is no need to bind the firearms with chains, which greatly improves the safety of the firearms and the directional unlocking firearm control system with shooting experience.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a directional unlocking firearm control system, comprising a directional signal transmitting device, a directional signal receiving device and a locking device; the directional signal transmitting device is mounted on the firearm, and is used to transmit a signal within a specified angle range, and the light beam signal transmitting direction is toward the shooting point; the directional signal receiving device is fixed at the shooting target, and is used to receive a signal within a specified angle range; the locking device is mounted on the firearm, connected to the directional signal receiving device, and uses the received signal to lock or unlock the firearm.

[0005] Preferably, the directional signal transmitting device includes a signal lamp and a fixed angle device that cooperate with each other. The signal lamp is used to emit a light beam signal. The fixed angle device limits the light signal emitted by the signal lamp to a certain angle to avoid interference with other shooting points. The angle is adjusted by adjusting the inner diameter and length of the fixed angle device.

[0006] Preferably, the signal light adopts a signal source with a larger scattering angle, or adopts a directional laser signal with a smaller scattering angle.

[0007] Preferably, the directional signal receiving device includes a fixed receiving angle device, a signal receiver, a command transmitter and a battery for the receiving device; the directional signal receiving device can only receive the light beam signal from the directional signal transmitting device within a certain angle range, and send an unlocking command to the locking device on the firearm. When the direction deviates too much from the designated direction and the light beam signal cannot be received, a firearm locking command is issued, and it has a positioning function and issues an alarm when leaving the designated area.

[0008] Preferably, the receiving angle determination device determines the angle in front of the shooting target within which the signal can be received, and the angle is adjusted by adjusting the inner diameter and length of the receiving angle determination device.

[0009] Preferably, the signal receiver is used to receive and identify information of the designated light beam, and transmit the information to the command issuer.

[0010] Preferably, the command issuer determines whether the door should be unlocked based on the light beam information of the signal receiver, and sends the command to the locking device wirelessly.

[0011] Preferably, the locking device receives a command from a directional signal receiving device via a wireless signal to perform an unlocking operation on the firearm, and when the unlocking command from the directional signal receiving device cannot be received, the firearm is locked and maintained in a locked state.

[0012] Preferably, the locking device includes a servo, a locking rod and a battery for the locking device, the servo is used to receive commands from the directional signal receiving device and drive the locking rod to rotate; the locking rod is a cylinder with a groove, which can lock the firearm by holding the firearm trigger so that it is not pulled; the servo is an automatic return servo.

[0013] Preferably, the locking device maintains a normal locking state and is unlocked only when receiving an unlocking command from a directional signal receiving device. When the signal is interrupted, it is immediately forced to return to the locked state.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The present invention can realize the unlocking of directional shooting of firearms. When the firearm deviates from the target plate at an angle that is too large, the firearm is locked without physically restricting the firearm itself, thereby ensuring the shooting safety without affecting the shooting experience.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a directional unlocking firearm control system of the present invention comprises three parts: a directional signal transmitting device 1, a directional signal receiving device 2 and a locking device 3. The three parts are arranged according to Figure 1 The directional signal receiving device 2 is arranged in the manner shown, and is arranged near the target plate and facing the shooting point. The directional signal transmitting device 1 and the locking device 3 are installed on the firearm and are located at the shooting point together with the firearm. When the firearm is not in use, the locking device 3 should be in a locked state.

[0030] The directional signal transmitting device 1 comprises a signal lamp 11 and a firing angle setting device 12. The signal lamp 11 sends an optical signal toward the target board. Generally, there are multiple target boards arranged side by side in a shooting range. In order to prevent the signals between different guns from interfering with the guns at the adjacent shooting points, the directional signal transmitting device 1 is equipped with a firing angle setting device 12, which can control the scattering angle of the optical signal within a certain range, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the directional signal receiving device 2 includes a fixed receiving angle device 21, a signal transmitter 22, a command transmitter 23 and a battery 24 for the receiving device. The directional signal receiving device 2 can only receive the light beam signal from the directional signal transmitting device 1 within a certain angle range, and send an unlocking command to the locking device 3 on the firearm. When the direction deviates too much from the designated direction and the light beam signal cannot be received, a firearm locking command is issued, and the device has a positioning function, and an alarm can be issued when leaving the designated area.

[0032] In order to avoid mutual interference, a fixed receiving angle device 21 is installed on the directional signal receiving device 2 on the target board to control the scattering angle of the received optical signal, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0033] The directional signal transmitter 1 is installed in front of the firearm and below the muzzle through a universal Picatinny rail. The locking device 3 is installed near the grip and the trigger 35 of the firearm and is installed on the firearm by clamping the U-shaped frame. The directional signal transmitter 1 and the locking device 3 communicate wirelessly. Neither of them requires modification of the firearm and will not cause damage to the firearm. They can be disassembled by tools but cannot be disassembled by hand, ensuring safety. Figure 7 shown.

[0034] The directional signal receiving device 2 and the locking device 3 transmit the unlocking and closing signals through wireless signal transmission.

[0035] When the signal receiver 22 on the directional signal receiving device 2 senses the optical signal, the internal command transmitter 23 will transmit the unlocking signal to the locking device 3 via a wireless signal.

[0036] The locking device 3 includes a servo 31, a locking rod 32, a command receiver 33 and a battery 34 for the locking device, which is connected to the directional signal receiving device 2, receives commands from the directional signal receiving device 2 via wireless signals, executes an unlocking action on the firearm, and locks the firearm and maintains the locked state when the unlocking command from the directional signal receiving device 2 cannot be received.

[0037] After the locking device 3 receives the unlocking signal, the steering gear 31 rotates a certain angle, and the locking rod 32 is linked with the steering gear shaft and rotates a certain angle at the same time.

[0038] The locking rod 32 is a cylinder with a groove. When the groove is facing the trigger of the gun, the trigger of the gun can enter the groove when it is pulled to realize its own function. However, when the groove is not facing the trigger of the gun, the trigger of the gun will be blocked by the locking rod 32 when it is pulled, and it cannot move further, and the gun cannot be fired. In this way, the gun is locked. Figure 4 and 5 shown.

[0039] When the shooting is completed and the muzzle moves, the directional signal receiving device 2 loses the optical signal, that is, the signal output to the locking device 3 is interrupted. Due to reasons such as the signal being cut off, the directional signal transmitting device 1 and the directional signal receiving device 2 being blocked, etc., the locking device 3 will not be able to continuously receive the unlocking signal.

[0040] When the locking device 3 does not continuously receive the unlocking signal, the firearm is automatically locked immediately, thus ensuring safety.
