Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of toy gun technology, and more particularly to a toy gun and a toy gun system. Background Technology

[0002] Toy guns, as a classic toy, have always been popular. There are many types of toy guns, such as those with sound and light effects, those that fire soft or water bullets, firecracker guns, and those with laser emitters. However, these toy guns are either limited in function or pose a certain degree of danger when used, easily causing personal injury.

[0003] In existing technologies, to improve the safety of toy guns, shooting can be conducted without actual bullets, and a camera module can be installed at the muzzle of the toy gun to capture shooting images, with a processing module used to identify the ring count. However, confining the camera module to the barrel of the gun body limits the shape and function of the toy gun, and if the lens used in the camera module is too large, it will also make the muzzle too large, affecting the aesthetics of the toy gun.

[0041] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0042] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a toy gun provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the toy gun includes a gun body 1 and a target reporting device 2. The gun body 1 includes a trigger 11, and the target reporting device 2 includes an image acquisition device 21 and a first processor 22. The target reporting device 2 is detachably connected to the gun body 1. Figure 1 The example demonstrates the state of the target detector 2 separated from the gun body 1. The image acquisition device 21 is positioned parallel to the muzzle direction of the gun body 1 to accurately capture the firing of the gun. When the user pulls the trigger 11, the first processor 22 responds to the trigger pull by controlling the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture. The first processor 22 is electrically connected to the image acquisition device 21, therefore the first processor 22 can receive the image captured by the image acquisition device 21 and determine the firing result.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the toy gun includes a gun body 1 and a target detector 2. The target detector 2 can be fixed to the gun body 1, or it can be... Figure 1 The target reporting device 2 is shown being detached from the gun body 1. Exemplarily, if the target reporting device 2 is installed on the gun body 1, the toy gun can simultaneously report the shooting result while firing. If the target reporting device 2 is detached from the gun body 1, the gun body 1 can still perform the firing function. Therefore, in this embodiment, the gun body 1 and the target reporting device 2 can be separated or installed and connected as needed, providing users with a wide range of options.

[0045] To improve the safety of toy guns, physical bullets can be omitted from the gun body 1. To retain the fun of toy guns, such as the target reporting function, when the user pulls the trigger 11, the first processor 22 in the target reporting device 2 responds to the trigger 11 and controls the image acquisition device 21 to capture the process of the gun body 1 hitting the target. The image acquisition device 21 outputs the captured image or recorded video to the first processor 22, which processes the received image or video to determine the shooting result.

[0046] For example, when the gun body 1 and the target detector 2 are fixedly connected, the user holds the toy gun, aims the muzzle at the target, and pulls the trigger 11. The first processor 22, in response to the trigger 11, generates a control signal to control the image acquisition device 21 to capture at least one image including the target or record a video of a set duration. The image acquisition device 21 sends the captured image or recorded video to the first processor 22. The first processor 22 can call an image processing algorithm to calculate and recognize the image or video, calculating the ring number of the target corresponding to the muzzle. The image processing algorithm can combine factors such as the distance between the image acquisition device 21 and the target, the angle of the target, the gravity of the bullet, or the shooting environment to improve the accuracy of the ring number calculation. It should be noted that the choice of image processing algorithm is not limited in this embodiment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the target reporting device 2 is detachably connected to the gun body 1, and the first processor 22 and the image acquisition device 21 are disposed within the target reporting device 2. The first processor 22 receives the images captured by the image acquisition device 21 and determines the shooting result, making the use of the toy gun more flexible. Since the image acquisition device 21 is located in the target reporting device 2, it does not occupy the muzzle space of the gun body 1, does not affect the muzzle shape or size of the gun body 1, and does not affect the addition of other functional components inside the muzzle. For example, the gun body 1 can also be equipped with live-fire shooting components, muzzle laser aiming, and other functional components as needed.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a detachable connection between a gun body and a target detector, provided as an embodiment of this disclosure. Optionally, as... Figure 2 As shown, the gun body 1 includes a guide rail 12, and the target reporting device 2 includes a slide rail 23. The target reporting device 2 is mounted on the guide rail 12 of the gun body 1 via the slide rail 23.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a guide rail 12 is provided on the gun body 1, and a slide rail 23 is provided on the target alarm 2. When the target alarm 2 needs to be fixedly connected to the gun body 1, it can be installed on the guide rail 12 of the gun body 1 via the slide rail 23. When the target alarm 2 needs to be removed from the gun body 1, it can slide off the gun body 1 along the track of the guide rail 12 via the slide rail 23. Thus, the embodiments of this disclosure can flexibly realize the detachable connection between the target alarm 2 and the gun body 1, improving the user experience.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the toy gun also includes bolts 3; bolt holes 31 are provided on both the slide rail 23 and the guide rail 12; the bolts 3 pass through the bolt holes 31 to fix the gun body 1 and the target detector 2.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, to improve the firmness of the fixed connection between the gun body 1 and the target detector 2, bolt holes 31 can be provided on both the slide rail 23 and the guide rail 12. After the target detector 2 is installed on the guide rail 12 of the gun body 1 via the slide rail 23, the bolt holes 31 on the guide rail 12 and the bolt holes 31 on the slide rail 23 are aligned, and the bolts 3 pass through the bolt holes 31 on the guide rail 12 and the bolt holes 31 on the slide rail 23 to fix the gun body 1 and the target detector 2 in place.

[0052] It should be noted that other methods can also be used to detachably connect and fix the gun body 1 and the target detector 2, and this embodiment does not limit this. Figure 2 The assembly of the middle slide rail 23 and the guide rail 12, as well as the fixing of the bolt 3 and the bolt hole 31, are only one specific example provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another toy gun provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. See also... Figure 3 The gun body 1 includes a first connector 13, and the target detector 2 includes a second connector 24. After the gun body 1 and the target detector 2 are connected, the first connector 13 and the second connector 24 are electrically connected. The trigger 11 is electrically connected to the first connector 13; the first processor 22 is electrically connected to the second connector 24.

[0054] When the user pulls the trigger 11, the trigger 11 sends a control signal to the first connector 13. The first connector 13 transmits the control signal to the second connector 24, which is electrically connected to the first processor 22. The second connector 24 transmits the received control signal to the first processor 22. After receiving the control signal, the first processor 22 controls the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture. Therefore, when the user pulls the trigger 11, the first processor 22 can promptly control the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture, avoiding inaccurate identification of shooting results due to the shooting delay of the image acquisition device 21.

[0055] Optionally, the first processor 22, the second connector 24, and the image acquisition device 21 in the target reporting device 2 are all arranged on a printed circuit board, enabling the first processor 22 to be electrically connected to the second connector 24 and to the image acquisition device 21. The number of printed circuit boards can be determined based on the relative positions of the first processor 22, the second connector 24, and the image acquisition device 21. For example, the first processor 22 and the second connector 24 can be placed on the same printed circuit board, while the image acquisition device 21 can be placed on another printed circuit board to ensure that the shooting direction of the image acquisition device 21 is parallel to the muzzle pointing direction of the gun body 1. Alternatively, the first processor 22, the second connector 24, and the image acquisition device 21 can also be placed on the same printed circuit board; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this arrangement.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the trigger 11 includes a trigger mechanism 110 and a first trigger button 111. The first trigger button 111 is located in a first position. The first position is the position away from the muzzle in the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first trigger button 111 is connected to the first connector 13, and the first processor 22 responds to the triggering of the first trigger button 111 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the user aims at the target and pulls the trigger mechanism 110, when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first trigger button 111 is connected to the first connector 13, and the first connector 13 is electrically connected to the second connector 24. The first connector 13 transmits a control signal to the second connector 24, triggering the first processor 22 to operate. After the first processor 22 is triggered, it controls the image acquisition device 21 to capture images or record videos, and performs image recognition processing on the acquired images or videos to determine the shooting result, such as the number of targets.

[0058] In some embodiments, optionally, combined Figure 3The trigger 11 includes a trigger mechanism 110, a first trigger button 111, and a second trigger button 112. The second trigger button 112 is located in a second position, between the first position and the muzzle. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position, the second trigger button 112 connects to the first connector 13, and the first processor 22 responds to the triggering of the second trigger button 112 to activate the image acquisition device 21. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first trigger button 111 connects to the first connector 13, and the first processor 22 responds to the triggering of the first trigger button 111 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take pictures.

[0059] To improve user experience, a first trigger button 111 and a second trigger button 112 can be provided within the trigger 11. The second trigger button 112 is located in a second position, between the first position and the muzzle. That is, when the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110, they first pull the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, triggering the second trigger button 112. The second trigger button 112 is connected to the first connector 13, and the first connector 13 and the second connector 24 are electrically connected, thereby triggering the first processor 22 to operate and control the image acquisition device 21 to start. At this time, the image acquisition device 21 enters the working state, waiting for the instruction from the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 from the second position to the first position, the first trigger button 111 is triggered. The first trigger button 111 is connected to the first connector 13, and the first connector 13 and the second connector 24 are electrically connected, thereby triggering the first processor 22 to operate. After the first processor 22 is triggered, it controls the image acquisition device 21 to capture images or record videos, and processes the acquired images or videos to determine the shooting result, such as the number of targets hit. Therefore, the image acquisition device 21 can be activated in advance when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the first position, the first processor 22 can promptly control the image acquisition device 21 to capture images, thus avoiding delays in image capture and improving the accuracy of the first processor 22's recognition of the shooting result. Furthermore, activating the image acquisition device 21 when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position avoids the high power consumption caused by the image acquisition device 21 being constantly operational.

[0060] In some embodiments, optionally, see Figure 3The trigger 11 includes a trigger mechanism 110, a first trigger button 111, and a second trigger button 112. The first trigger button 111 is located in a first position, which is the position away from the muzzle in the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110. The second trigger button 112 is located in a second position, between the first position and the muzzle. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position, the second trigger button 112 connects to the first connector 13, and the first processor 22 responds to the triggering of the second trigger button 112 by controlling the image acquisition device 21 to periodically take pictures. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first trigger button 111 connects to the first connector 13, and the first processor 22 responds to the triggering of the first trigger button 111 by determining the shooting result from the image captured by the image acquisition device 21.

[0061] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, the second trigger button 112 connects to the first connector 13, and the first connector 13 and the second connector 24 are electrically connected, thereby triggering the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take periodic pictures, for example, by taking pictures continuously at preset intervals to acquire multiple images. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 from the second position to the first position, the first trigger button 111 connects to the first connector 13, and the first connector 13 is electrically connected to the second connector 24, thereby triggering the first processor 22 to work. The first processor 22 determines the shooting result based on the images acquired by the image acquisition device 21. For example, the first processor 22 can determine the shooting result based on the image captured by the image acquisition device 21 when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position; the first processor 22 can also perform recognition processing on multiple images taken within a preset time before and after the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position to obtain the shooting result; the first processor 22 can also perform recognition processing on images taken within a preset time before the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, or on images taken within a preset time after the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position to obtain the shooting result.

[0062] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, the image acquisition device 21 is controlled to take periodic pictures, and when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first processor 22 performs recognition processing on one or more pictures acquired by the image acquisition device 21 taking periodic pictures to obtain the shooting result, so that the first processor 22's recognition of the shooting result is more comprehensive and the accuracy of the first processor 22's recognition of the shooting result is improved.

[0063] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another toy gun provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Optionally, as... Figure 4As shown, the trigger 11 includes a trigger mechanism 110 and a first permanent magnet 113. The target detector 2 includes a first Hall effect device 24. The trigger mechanism 110 is connected to the first permanent magnet 113, and the first Hall effect device 24 is electrically connected to the first processor 22. The first permanent magnet 113 moves to different strokes of the trigger mechanism 110, and there are different distances between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall effect device 24. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first Hall effect device 24 controls the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture; wherein, the first position is the position away from the muzzle in the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first permanent magnet 113 is connected to the trigger mechanism 110. For example, the first permanent magnet 113 can be connected to the trigger mechanism 110 by adhesive or magnetic attraction. The target detector 2 is equipped with a first Hall effect device 24, which is electrically connected to the first processor 22. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110, the first Hall effect device 24 is stationary relative to the target detector 2. The first permanent magnet 113 will move closer to or further away from the first Hall effect device 24 as the trigger mechanism 110 moves. The distance between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall effect device 24 will change with the movement of the trigger mechanism 110. The first Hall effect device 24 generates different level signals based on the different distances between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall effect device 24. The above level signals can trigger the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to acquire images and identify the shooting results.

[0065] For example, when the user does not pull the trigger mechanism 110, the distance between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall device 24 is, for example, 5 cm. At this time, the first Hall device 24 generates a low-level signal, and the first processor 22 does not trigger the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture. When the user pulls the trigger 11 to the first position, the distance between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall device 24 is, for example, 3 cm. At this time, the first Hall device 24 generates a high-level signal, triggering the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to acquire an image and identify the shooting result.

[0066] It should be noted that the relationship between the distance between the first permanent magnet 113 and the first Hall device 24 and the level signal generated by the first Hall device 24, and the relationship between the level signal and whether the first processor 22 is triggered, can be set according to the actual use of the toy gun. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0067] Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of another toy gun provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The trigger 11 includes a trigger mechanism 110 and a plurality of second permanent magnets 114. The target detector 2 includes a plurality of second Hall effect devices 25. The trigger mechanism 110 is connected to the plurality of second permanent magnets 114. The plurality of second permanent magnets 114 are arranged sequentially along the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110. The plurality of second Hall effect devices 25 are arranged sequentially along the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110. The plurality of second Hall effect devices 25 are electrically connected to a first processor 22. The second permanent magnets 114 move to different strokes of the trigger mechanism 110, and there are different distances between the second permanent magnets 114 and the second Hall effect devices 25. The first position is the position away from the muzzle in the pulling direction of the trigger mechanism 110; the second position is located between the first position and the muzzle. Figure 5 The example shows a second permanent magnet 114 and three second Hall devices 25.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 When the toy gun shown is pulled, the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position, and each of the second Hall devices 25 triggers the first processor 22 to start the image acquisition device 21; when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, each of the second Hall devices 25 triggers the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take pictures.

[0069] To improve user experience, multiple second permanent magnets 114 can be installed in the trigger 11. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110, the trigger mechanism 110 moves the multiple second permanent magnets 114, meaning the direction of movement of the second permanent magnets 114 is the same as the direction of pull of the trigger mechanism 110. Multiple second Hall effect devices 25 are installed in the target detector 2, arranged sequentially along the direction of pull of the trigger mechanism 110. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110, each second Hall effect device 25 is stationary relative to the target detector 2, while each second permanent magnet 114 moves with the movement of the trigger mechanism 110. The distance between the second permanent magnets 114 and the second Hall effect devices 25 also changes accordingly. Based on the different distances between the second permanent magnets 114 and the second Hall effect devices 25, the multiple second Hall effect devices 25 generate different level signals. These level signals can trigger the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to acquire images and identify the shooting results.

[0070] For example, the gun body 1 can be equipped with two second permanent magnets 114, and the target detector 2 can be equipped with two second Hall devices 25. When the user does not pull the trigger mechanism 110, the distance between one second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x. 11 The distance between the second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x cm. 21At this point, each of the second Hall devices 25 generates a low-level signal, and the first processor 22 does not trigger the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, the distance between a second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x cm. 12 The distance between the second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x cm. 22 At this point, the first processor 22, which is electrically connected to each of the second Hall devices 25, is triggered to start the image acquisition device 21. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the first position, the distance between a second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x centimeters. 13 The distance between the second permanent magnet 114 and the corresponding second Hall device 25 is, for example, x cm. 23 At this point, each of the second Hall effect devices 25 generates a high-level signal, triggering the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to capture images. The processor then performs image algorithm recognition on the captured image or recorded video to obtain the shooting result. This avoids the problem of inaccurate shooting result recognition caused by the startup delay of the image acquisition device 21.

[0071] Therefore, by pulling the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, the image acquisition device 21 can be activated in advance. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the first position, the first processor 22 can promptly control the image acquisition device 21 to take a picture, thus avoiding delays in image acquisition and improving the accuracy of the first processor 22 in recognizing the shooting result. Furthermore, activating the image acquisition device 21 when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the second position avoids the high power consumption caused by the image acquisition device 21 being constantly operational.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 The toy gun shown can also have a trigger mechanism 110 pulled to the second position, where each second Hall device 25 triggers the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take pictures periodically; or the trigger mechanism 110 pulled to the first position, where each second Hall device 25 triggers the first processor 22 to determine the shooting result through the image captured by the image acquisition device 21.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 5The toy gun shown can be configured such that when the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, each of the second Hall effect devices 25 triggers the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to periodically capture multiple images. When the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 from the second position to the first position, the second Hall effect devices 25 trigger the first processor 22, which determines the shooting result by periodically capturing images through the image acquisition device 21. For example, the first processor 22 can determine the shooting result based on a single image captured by the image acquisition device 21 when the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, or it can perform recognition processing on multiple images captured within a preset time before and after the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, thereby obtaining the shooting result. Alternatively, the first processor 22 can perform recognition processing on images captured within a preset time before or after the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, thereby obtaining the shooting result. In this embodiment, when the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110 to the second position, the image acquisition device 21 is controlled to take periodic pictures. When the trigger mechanism 110 is pulled to the first position, the first processor 22 performs recognition processing on one or more pictures acquired by the image acquisition device 21 to obtain the shooting result, making the recognition of the shooting result by the first processor 22 more comprehensive and improving the accuracy of the recognition of the shooting result by the first processor 22.

[0074] In addition, by setting multiple second permanent magnets 114 in the trigger 11 and multiple second Hall devices 25 in the target detector 2, the accuracy of detecting the trigger mechanism 110's pull position can be improved, thereby more effectively triggering the first processor 22 to control the image acquisition device 21 to take pictures and determine the shooting results, thus improving the user experience.

[0075] It should be noted that the specific number of the second permanent magnet 114 and the second Hall device 25 can be set according to the actual use of the toy gun, and the specific number is not limited in this embodiment.

[0076] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another toy gun provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a first power supply 14 is also provided inside the gun body 1; the first power supply 14 is used to supply power to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 and / or the electrical devices in the target detector 2. Specifically, see... Figure 6A first power supply 14 is installed inside the gun body 1. The first power supply 14 can be, for example, a storage battery.

When the target detector 2 is installed and connected to the gun body 1, the first power supply 14 can also supply power to the electrical devices in the target detector 2, such as the first processor 22 and the image acquisition device 21.

[0077] It should be noted that the first power supply 14 can supply power to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 and the electrical devices in the target detector 2, or it can supply power only to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 or only to the electrical devices in the target detector 2.

[0079] Specifically, see Figure 6 The gun body 1 also includes a first firing prompting device 16, which is electrically connected to a first connector 13. When the first processor 22 calculates the firing result based on the image or video acquired by the image acquisition device 21 using image processing technology, it can send the firing result to the first firing prompting device 16 via the second connector 24 and the first connector 13. The first firing prompting device 16 can then output the firing result. For example, the first firing prompting device 16 can be a loudspeaker, which can play information such as the target score, "9 rings," or "10 rings." Alternatively, the first firing prompting device 16 can also be a display screen, which can convert the received target score information into display information and output it, such as displaying numbers from 0 to 10 for the user to know the firing score.

[0080] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another toy gun provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Optionally, see... Figure 7 The target detector 2 also includes a second power supply 26; the second power supply 26 is used to supply power to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 and / or the electrical devices in the target detector 2.

[0081] Specifically, see Figure 7A second power supply 26 is provided inside the target detector 2. The second power supply 26 can be, for example, a storage battery. When the target detector 2 is detached from the gun body 1, the second power supply 26 can supply power only to the electrical devices in the target detector 2, such as the first processor 22 and the image acquisition device 21. When the target detector 2 is fixedly connected to the gun body 1, the second power supply 26 can also supply power to the electrical devices in the gun body 1.

[0082] It should be noted that the second power supply 26 can supply power to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 and the electrical devices in the target detector 2, or it can supply power only to the electrical devices in the gun body 1 or only to the electrical devices in the target detector 2. This embodiment does not limit this.

When the first processor 22 calculates the number of targets shot using image processing technology based on the images acquired by the image acquisition device 21 or the recorded video, it can send the shooting result to the second shooting prompting device 27, which can then output the shooting result to the user. For example, the second shooting prompting device 27 can be a loudspeaker, which can broadcast information such as "9 rings" or "10 rings". Alternatively, the second shooting prompting device 27 can also be a display screen, which can convert the received target number information into display information and output it, such as displaying numbers from 0 to 10 for the user to know the ring number.

[0086] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 and Figure 8When the target detector 2 is detached from the gun body 1, the second processor 18, such as a microcontroller, can detect the trigger 11 being pulled. When the user pulls the trigger 11, the microcontroller controls the third shooting prompting device 17, such as a speaker, to output a gunshot sound. At this time, the gun body 1 can be used as an independent toy gun with a gunshot sound output function. When the target detector 2 is fixedly connected to the gun body 1, when the user pulls the trigger mechanism 110, the third shooting prompting device 17 installed on the gun body 1 can provide sound effects, such as a gunshot sound, and the second shooting prompting device 27 installed on the target detector 2, such as a speaker, can play the shooting results, such as the number of targets, obtained by the first processor 22 through image recognition. This expands the ways to use the toy gun and improves the user experience.

[0087] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of a target detector provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The left shell 201 and right shell 202 of the target detector are shown as an example. The target detector 2 may be equipped with a second shooting prompt device 27 and a second power supply 26. The image acquisition device 21 may be mounted on a printed circuit board 203. The first Hall device 24 and the second Hall device 25 may be mounted on the same printed circuit board 203 as the image acquisition device 21, or they may be mounted on different printed circuit boards 203.

[0088] In some embodiments, the present invention may further include at least one of a laser emitting device, a smoke simulation device, and a bullet launching device at the muzzle position of the gun body. Specifically, the laser emitting device can be used for laser aiming, the smoke simulation device can be used to simulate smoke during bullet firing to improve the user's shooting experience, and the bullet launching device can be used to fire physical toy bullets such as water bullets. This enriches the usage scenarios of the toy gun and improves the user experience.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, indicator lights, such as LED lights, may also be provided in the gun body 1 and / or the target detector 2. The first processor 22 in the target detector 2 can control the LED lights to illuminate when the user fires. The LED lights are provided in the gun body 1 and controlled by a second processor 18 built into the gun body 1. The LED lights illuminate when the user fires, thereby providing a flashing effect and improving the user's experience when using the toy gun.

[0090] This disclosure provides a toy gun comprising a gun body and a target detector, the target detector being detachably connected to the gun body. After the target detector is installed, since it includes an image acquisition device and a first processor, the image acquisition device's shooting direction is parallel or approximately parallel to the muzzle direction of the gun body. The first processor can control the image acquisition device to take pictures in response to the trigger pull of the gun body. The first processor determines the shooting result based on the received image from the image acquisition device, so that the shooter is aware of the shooting result. The gun body can still be used even if the target detector is removed. Therefore, the toy gun provided by this disclosure is more flexible in its use. Because the image acquisition device is located in the target detector, rather than being built into the muzzle of the gun body, it does not affect the muzzle shape of the gun body, nor does it affect the addition of other functional components inside the muzzle.
