Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of firearm shooting, and particularly to a horizontal bullet collector. Background Art

[0002] Bullets fired from various firearms all have some characteristics of that firearm. After mastering the characteristics of the bullets fired from each firearm, this is very helpful for determining which firearm the bullet was fired from in a shooting incident. In many cases, the scope of the firearm in a firearm-related incident is narrowed down to the scope of firearms with legal registration. When a case occurs after a firearm is stolen, in determining which stolen firearm was used in the case, it is necessary to judge through the bullets left at the crime scene. This requires making a file for each legal firearm, recording the common and individual characteristics of the bullets it fires, so that in the future, when the fired bullets are found at the crime scene, it can be determined which firearm fired them. Therefore, before each firearm is equipped or after the firearm has been used for a period of time, it is necessary to record the characteristics of the bullets fired by that firearm. In order to obtain the common and individual characteristics of the bullets fired by a certain firearm, it is required that the firearm continuously fires multiple bullets, and the fired bullets should be kept as complete as possible, so that as many characteristics of the bullets fired by the firearm can be retained from the as-complete-as-possible bullets, and all the characteristics are found and recorded.

[0003] Currently, water is used as the damping medium in bullet collectors. When the bullets fired from a firearm enter the bullet collector, the water in the bullet collector will generate a large damping force on the bullets, causing the bullets to lose kinetic energy and fall into the bullet collector. In this way, the characteristics on the bullets can be retained to the greatest extent without causing secondary damage to the bullets. However, it has a major defect. Since there is a large amount of water in the bullet collector, the bullets cannot be quickly collected. Only after all the bullets of the firearm have been fired, the water in the bullet collector can be drained, and the bullets are taken out manually. Bullets fired from different types of firearms need to be collected separately and cannot be mixed with the bullets of other firearms. In this way, undoubtedly, the shooting efficiency of the firearm and the collection efficiency of the bullets will be reduced, and the bullet collector needs to be repeatedly filled with water and drained of water. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and a horizontal bullet collector is designed to solve the problem that the bullets in the existing bullet collector cannot be quickly taken out.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is a horizontal bullet collector, including: A first container, a first cavity is formed in the first container, the first cavity extends along the horizontal direction, the front end of the first container has a bullet inlet for facilitating the entry of bullets into the first cavity, and the bottom of the first container has a bullet outlet; A bullet-blocking fluid, the first cavity being filled with the bullet-blocking fluid, and a bullet being able to stagnate under the damping action of the bullet-blocking fluid; A bullet recovery mechanism, the bullet recovery mechanism extending from the bullet outlet to a distance above the liquid level of the bullet-blocking fluid, the bullet recovery mechanism including a plurality of recyclable rotating recovery plates, and the opening of the limit groove on the recovery plate below the bullet outlet facing the bullet outlet.

[0006] Furthermore, the first cavity gradually narrows from top to the bullet outlet direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the bullet recovery mechanism further includes a housing and a transmission assembly, the housing being obliquely fixed on the outside of the first container, an inlet being provided on the upper side of the housing near the lower end, the inlet being docked with the bullet outlet, an outlet being provided on the lower side of the housing near the upper end, and the transmission assembly extending from the inlet to the outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a motor, a sprocket, a chain and a plurality of the recovery plates, a bracket being provided on each side of the housing, a rotating shaft being installed at each end of the bracket, a sprocket being provided on each rotating shaft, the chain being annular, the two ends of the chain being respectively engaged with the two sprockets, and a plurality of recovery plates being uniformly fixed on the circumference of the chain, the motor being in transmission connection with the rotating shaft near the upper end of the bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the recovery plate includes a bottom plate, a first side plate and a second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate being vertically connected to both sides of the bottom plate and cooperating to form the limit groove, the recovery plates being annularly and uniformly distributed on the chain, and the bottom plate being fixed on the chain.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom plate, the first side plate and the second side plate are provided with a plurality of water leakage holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a blocking plate for blocking bullets is provided at one end of the first container away from the bullet inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, it further includes: A second container, a second cavity being formed in the second container, the first container being installed in the second cavity, the bullet inlet on the first container being located in the second cavity, a damping fluid being filled below the first container in the second cavity, and a shooting port being provided at the front end of the second container; At least one pressure pump, the pressure pump being installed in the second cavity, an inlet being provided on the outer wall of the first container, the pressure pump being docked with the inlet through a pipeline, and the pressure pump being able to pump the bullet-blocking fluid in the second cavity to the first cavity.

[0013] Further, the outer wall of the second container has a bullet extraction opening, and the bullet extraction opening is docked with the outlet on the housing.

[0014] Further, a shield is provided at the top of the second container. One side of the shield is hinged to the second container, and the other side is locked and connected to the second container.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects are as follows: In the present invention, the first container is filled with bullet-blocking fluid. The bullets fired by the firearm will enter the first container from the bullet inlet along the horizontal direction. The bullets will lose their kinetic energy and stagnate under the damping action of the bullet-blocking fluid, fall into the first container, and flow out from the bullet outlet to the bullet recovery mechanism. Several recovery plates in the bullet recovery mechanism can rotate cyclically, and the bullets will fall onto one of the recovery plates. The recovery plate will convey the bullets out of the bullet-blocking fluid during the rotation process, so that the collection of bullets can be completed quickly.

Therefore, the shooting efficiency of the firearm and the collection efficiency of the bullets can be improved, ensuring that the bullets fired by each firearm can be quickly collected separately.

Detailed implementation manners

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Embodiment 1 Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a horizontal bullet collector, which mainly includes components such as a water tank 1, an inner tank 3, a bullet recycling mechanism 6, a shield 2, and a pressure pump 7. The inner tank 3 is the innermost container, and the water tank 1 is the outermost container. The water in the water tank 1 is pumped into the inner tank 3 through the pressure pump 7.

[0021] In this embodiment, water is used as the bullet-blocking fluid. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the water tank 1 is filled with water, which is generally not full. The upper part of the water tank 1 is open, and the inner tank 3 is installed at the open end of the water tank 1.

[0022] Referring to Figure 5 , the bottom of the inner tank 3 has a bullet outlet 302, and the space from the upper space of the inner tank 3 to the direction of the bullet outlet 302 gradually decreases, so that the bullets will converge along the inclined plane to the bullet outlet 302 and finally flow out from the bullet outlet 302.

[0023] As shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the inner tank 3 is composed of two parts. The upper layer is cylindrical and horizontally extended, and the lower layer is pyramidal. The pyramidal part is integrally connected to the cylindrical part. Therefore, the space inside the inner tank 3 gradually narrows from top to the bullet outlet 302 direction, so that the bullets can converge at the bullet outlet 302. The pyramidal part of the inner tank 3 is located inside the water tank 1, and the cylindrical part is located outside the water tank 1.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 , on both sides of the inner tank 3, a fixing bracket 8 is provided respectively. The inner tank 3 is fixedly installed in the water tank 1 through the fixing bracket. The shield 2 is installed on the top of the inner tank 3 to cover the inner tank 3 and protect the inner tank 3.

[0025] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the front end of the cylindrical part of the inner tank 3 has a bullet inlet 301. The bullet will enter the cavity of the inner tank 3 horizontally from the bullet inlet 301. The cavity is filled with water, and the water will generate damping on the bullet, making the bullet stagnate, so that the bullet can retain its characteristics to the maximum extent. The cylindrical part of the inner tank 3 should be long enough. After the bullet enters the inner tank 3 from the bullet inlet 301, it will not reach the other end (i.e., the end far from the bullet inlet 301) of the cylindrical part of the inner tank 3 before it stagnates.

[0026] The bullet outlet 302 is located at the bottom of the pyramidal part of the inner bullet. The inner walls of the pyramidal part are all inclined planes. Therefore, the bullet can roll down along the inclined plane and finally converge at the bullet outlet 302.

[0027] In other technical solutions, the lower part of the inner tank 3 can also be designed as a conical shape, or other shapes that can facilitate the convergence of bullets to the bullet outlet 302.

[0028] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram when removing the water tank. In this embodiment, two pressure pumps 7 are installed in the water tank 1. There are two water inlets on the outer wall of the pyramidal part of the inner tank 3. The water outlet of the pressure pump 7 is connected to the water inlet through a pipeline. Part of the water in the inner tank 3 will flow out from the bullet inlet 301 at the front end of the inner tank 3 and flow into the water tank 1, and then the water in the water tank 1 is pumped into the inner tank 3 through the inner tank 3, thus realizing the water circulation and ensuring that the water in the inner tank 3 is always full.

[0029] As Figure 4 shown, the bullet recovery mechanism 6 is installed obliquely on the outer wall of the inner tank 3.

[0030] Refer to Figures 6-9, the bullet recovery mechanism 6 is mainly composed of a housing 61 and a transmission assembly 62. On both sides of the outside of the housing 61, a fixing plate 9 is installed respectively. The bullet recovery mechanism 6 is inclined and fixed on the outside of the inner tank 3 through the fixing plate 9.

[0031] The transmission assembly 62 is used to convey the bullets flowing out from the bullet outlet 302 of the inner tank 3 out of the bullet collector. The transmission assembly 62 is located at the bottom of the housing 61 and is covered by the housing 61. On both sides of the housing 61, a bracket 63 is provided respectively. The transmission assembly 62 is located between the two brackets 63 and is installed on the brackets 63. The housing 61 is fixedly connected to the two brackets 63.

[0032] Both the housing 61 and the transmission assembly 62 are inclined. The upper part of the housing 61 near the lower end has an inlet 6101 so that the fired bullets can enter the transmission assembly 62 from the inlet 6101. The bottom of the upper end of the housing 61 has an outlet 6102. The transmission assembly 62 conveys the bullets to the upper end and then the bullets come out from the outlet 6102.

[0033] Specifically, referring to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 , the transmission assembly 62 is mainly composed of a chain 623, a driving motor 626, two sprockets 622 and a number of recovery plates 621. Between the two ends of the two brackets 63, a rotating shaft 627 is installed respectively. The rotating shaft 627 is rotatably connected to the bracket 63. The two sprockets 622 are respectively fixedly installed on the two rotating shafts 627. The two ends of the chain 623 are respectively meshed with the two sprockets 622. By driving one of the sprockets 622 to rotate, the chain 623 is driven to rotate. The chain 623 extends from the inlet 6101 of the housing 61 to the outlet 6102.

[0034] A fixed seat 624 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the bracket 63. The output end of the driving motor 626 is in transmission connection with a gearbox 625. The gearbox 625 is fixedly installed on the fixed seat 624. The output end of the gearbox 625 is connected to the rotating shaft 627 at the upper end of the bracket 63 through a coupling. By driving the rotating shaft 627 to rotate through the driving motor 626, the sprocket 622 and the chain 623 are driven to rotate.

[0035] A number of recovery plates 621 are evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the chain 623. Referring to Figure 10 , the recovery plate 621 is composed of a bottom plate 6111, a first side plate 6212 and a second side plate 6213. The first side plate 6212 and the second side plate 6213 are perpendicular to the bottom plate 6111 and are integrally connected to both sides of the bottom plate 6111. The whole recovery plate 621 is formed by bending a whole plate, and the overall shape is U-shaped, forming a limiting groove in the middle for accommodating bullets.

[0036] The opening of the recovery plate 621 located on the upper side of the chain 623 faces upward, so that the bullet will not fall out of the limiting groove. The recovery plates 621 rotate and transfer together with the chain 623. When the recovery plate 621 with the bullet rotates and transfers to the lower side of the chain 623, the opening of the recovery plate 621 gradually faces downward, so that the bullet in the limiting groove will fall out and fall out from the outlet 6102 of the housing 61, thereby transferring the bullet out of the inside of the bullet collector.

[0037] Preferably, the length of the first side plate 6212 is greater than the length of the second side plate 6213, and the first side plate 6212 is bent at a certain angle toward the direction of the second side plate 6213, so that the recovery plate 621 can shovel the bullets dropped from the entrance 6101 of the housing 61 into the limiting groove during the rotation and transmission process. The second side plate 6213 is also bent at a certain angle, so that when the opening of the recovery plate 621 faces downward, the bullets can fall out along the second side plate 6213.

[0038] A plurality of water leakage holes 6210 are provided on the first side plate 6212, the bottom plate 6111 and the second side plate 6213. The water leakage holes 6210 are provided separately on each plate, and can also extend from one plate to another plate. The housing 61 also has a water leakage hole 6210 so that water can leak out.

[0039] The shape of the water leakage hole 6210 is not specifically limited. Since there is a lot of water in the bullet collector, the water will leak out through the water leakage hole 6210 during the rotation and transmission of the recovery plate 621, thereby preventing the water inside the bullet collector from being transmitted out.

[0040] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a baffle 11 is provided at the outlet 6102 at the bottom of the housing 61, and a rotating shaft 12 is provided on the baffle 11, and the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the groove at the outlet 6102 of the housing 61. The baffle 11 is tilted and used to block the bullet. When taking out the bullet, the baffle 11 is manually moved, and the baffle 11 will rotate relative to the housing 61 through the rotating shaft 12, and finally the bullet will flow out into the material trough 10 located at the outlet 6102, and then the bullet is manually taken out from it.

[0041] The two sides of the trough 10 have long holes, and the trough 10 is fixedly mounted at the outlet 6102 of the housing 61 by bolts, and the position of the trough 10 can be adjusted through the long holes. The front end of the trough 10 has a plate, and a hole is provided on the plate for taking out bullets.

[0042] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, there are two strong wind drying air inlets 6103 on the outer side of the upper end part of the housing 61, which are used to connect to a high-speed air source. Strong wind is introduced inward through the strong wind drying air inlets 6103 to dry the bullets.

[0043] As Figure 2 , Figure 7 shown, there is a bullet taking port 102 on the outer wall of the water tank 1. One end of the material trough 10 with holes is docked with the bullet taking port 102 to take out the bullets.

[0044] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, an installation plate 13 is installed at the front end of the water tank 1 (i.e., the end close to the bullet inlet 301). There is a shooting port 101 on the installation plate 13. The shooting port 101 is concentric with the bullet inlet 301. The bullet enters the bullet collector from the shooting port 101 and then enters the inner tank 3 from the bullet inlet 301.

[0045] The fixture for clamping the firearm will be fixedly installed on the installation plate 13. The structures of the fixtures for different firearms are different. Therefore, the installation plate 13 can be used to install and fix different types of fixtures.

[0046] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , there is a certain space between the bullet inlet 301 and the shooting port 101 in the water tank 1. A filter plate is arranged in this space to filter the water flowing out from the inner tank 3 through the bullet inlet 301. The water will enter the water tank 1 and then be pumped into the inner tank 3 by the pressure pump 7 to realize the recycling of water and save water resources.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the bottom of the water tank 1 has rollers to facilitate the movement of the bullet collector. The shape of the shield 2 is adapted to the shape of the cylindrical part of the inner tank 3. One side of the shield 2 is hinged to the water tank 1, and the other side is locked and connected to the water tank 1 through a locking member. The locking member can be released during maintenance to open the shield 2.

[0048] Electronic liquid level gauges (not shown in the figure) are arranged at the rear ends of both the water tank 1 and the inner tank 3 to detect the water levels of the water tank 1 and the inner tank 3. When the electronic liquid level gauge detects that the water level in the inner tank 3 is lower than the set value, the pressure pump 7 will be triggered. The pressure pump 7 pumps the water in the water tank 1 into the inner tank 3 to ensure that the water level in the inner tank 3 always remains in the standard state.

[0049] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , a baffle plate 5 is installed at the rear end of the cylindrical part of the inner tank 3 (i.e., the end far from the bullet inlet 301). The baffle plate 5 is made of steel plate and is used to block the bullets to prevent the firearm from being accidentally triggered to shoot the bullets into the bullet collector and damage the inner tank 3 when there is no water in the inner tank 3.

[0050] Example 2 As Figure 11 shown, the structure of the recycling plate 621 in Example 2 is slightly different from that in Example 1. In this embodiment, there is also a sealing plate 6214 at both ends of the recycling plate 621. The sealing plate 6214 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 6212, the second side plate 6213 and the bottom plate 6211, closing both ends of the limiting groove, so that the collected bullets will not flow out from both ends of the limiting groove, which is helpful for the collection of bullets.

[0051] The above technical solutions only reflect the preferred technical solutions of the technical solutions of the present invention. Some changes that those skilled in the art may make to some parts thereof all reflect the principles of the present invention and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
