Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip control, and in particular to an electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip. Background Art

[0002] Electric simulated firearms are a common category in somatosensory games and experiential toys. In order to avoid danger while ensuring user experience, electric simulated firearms usually use photoelectric methods to simulate the shooting experience of firearms. The photoelectric design mode usually replaces the trigger with a traditional touch switch, combined with a micro-switch fire control structure inside the barrel to achieve simulated shooting.

[0003] Traditional touch switches are very prone to poor contact when damaged by external forces, and technically it is difficult for traditional contact switches to meet users' diverse simulated shooting needs. For example, switching between single-shot and continuous shooting modes, adjusting the pre-tension strength during gun shooting, and adjusting the brake strength are not easy to personalize. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problem or the problem in the prior art that traditional touch switches are difficult to meet the user's diverse control needs for electric simulation firearms, the present invention is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a simulated firearm electronic fire control method based on a light sensing chip.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: comprising a trigger electronic control unit provided on a gear box of an electric simulated firearm, a rate of fire adjustment unit electrically connected to the trigger electronic control unit, and a control unit provided on the electric simulated firearm;

[0007] The trigger electronic control unit includes a light-sensing chip disposed in the electric simulation firearm, a trigger sensor disposed on the light-sensing chip, a trigger reflective sticker disposed in the electric simulation firearm's gearbox and opposite to the light-sensing chip and capable of receiving external ambient light, and a trigger sponge disposed on the trigger of the electric simulation firearm.

[0008] In the initial state of the electric simulated firearm, the trigger sensor on the light-sensing chip always receives ambient light reflected from the trigger reflective sticker. When in use, by pulling the trigger, the trigger sponge blocks the trigger reflective sticker, preventing the trigger reflective sticker from receiving ambient light. As a result, the trigger sensor cannot receive light, and the trigger pull signal is transmitted to the light-sensing chip.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method of simulated firearms based on a photosensitive chip of the present invention, the rate of fire adjustment unit includes a rate of fire transmission plate arranged in the gearbox of the electric simulated firearm, a rate of fire sensor arranged on the electric simulated firearm and coordinated with the rate of fire transmission plate, a rate of fire reflective sticker arranged on the rate of fire transmission plate, and a control gear that is rotatably arranged on the rate of fire transmission plate and linked to the gear set of the electric simulated firearm.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip of the present invention, the rate-of-fire selector sensor and the trigger sensor are both configured as light-sensing sensors.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method of simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip of the present invention, the control unit includes a rotating paddle rotatably arranged on the electric simulated firearm, and the rotating paddle is arranged on the gear shaft of the control gear.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip of the present invention, the rotating paddle is provided with three gears, namely, "SAFE" safety mode, "SEMI" single-shot mode and "AUTO" continuous-fire mode.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a photosensitive chip of the present invention, in which: in the "SAFE" safety mode state, the rotating groove on the control gear is at an angle of 0° relative to the speed selector transmission plate, and the control gear controls the gear group of the electric simulated firearm to switch to the safety mode.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a photosensitive chip of the present invention, in which: in the "SEMI" safety mode, the rotating groove on the control gear is at a 90° angle relative to the speed selector transmission plate, and the control gear controls the gear group of the electric simulated firearm to switch to single-shot mode.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a photosensitive chip of the present invention, in which: in the "AUTO" safety mode, the rotating groove on the control gear is at an angle of 180° relative to the speed selector transmission plate, and the control gear controls the gear group of the electric simulated firearm to switch to the continuous firing mode.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a photosensitive chip of the present invention, the electronic fire control method is combined with the gear box of the electric simulated firearm, and the operation of the electric simulated firearm is set with a shooting mode, a brake adjustment mode, a low voltage protection mode, a pre-tension adjustment mode and a factory reset mode.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the electronic fire control method for simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip of the present invention, in which: in the five operating modes of the electric simulated firearm, the light-emitting diode on the trigger sensor displays green light, purple light, white light, pink light and red light respectively.

[0018] The present invention provides a method for electronic fire control of simulated firearms based on a light-sensing chip. The method provides the following beneficial effects: by providing a trigger electronic control unit and a rate-of-fire adjustment unit, a trigger sponge provided on the trigger is used to shield ambient light received by the trigger sensor, thereby transmitting a trigger pull excitation signal to the light-sensing chip. This eliminates the need for conventional touch switches and micro-switch fire control structures, and utilizes the common light-sensing signal coordination between the light-sensing chip and the trigger sensor to control the fire control of the entire product. Furthermore, a control unit is provided to link the light-sensing chip sensing function with the gearbox gear of a traditional mechanical simulated firearm, thereby achieving trigger sensing firing, regulating the rate-of-fire transmission plate sensing function, and counting the number of gear sensing rotations. By changing the chip fire control method, a variety of shooting modes are established. The coordination of the light-sensing chip and the rotating paddle allows for the individual enrichment of the functions of the simulated electric firearm, enabling adjustment of the braking strength and pre-tension strength of the simulated electric firearm, thereby meeting the multi-functional needs of the user. This overcomes the low playability and single function of the simulated electric firearm, simplifies the internal structure of the simulated electric firearm gearbox, and facilitates retrofit installation of the simulated electric firearm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present application provides a light-sensing chip-based simulation firearm electronic fire control method, which can overcome the single function and low playability of electric simulation firearms, simplify the internal structure of the electric simulation firearm wave tank, facilitate the installation of the electric simulation firearm, and facilitate the setting of the electric simulation firearm according to personal habits and needs. The effect thereof comprises a trigger electric control unit 100 arranged on the gear box of the electric simulation firearm, a fast and slow machine adjusting unit 200 electrically connected with the trigger electric control unit 100, and a control unit 300 arranged on the electric simulation firearm. The trigger electric control unit 100 comprises a light-sensing chip 101 arranged in the electric simulation firearm, and a trigger sensor 102 arranged on the light-sensing chip 101. The trigger sensor 102 is arranged as a light-sensing sensor. A trigger reflective sticker 103 is arranged in the electric simulation firearm wave tank and is arranged opposite to the light-sensing chip 101. The trigger reflective sticker 103 can receive ambient light. A trigger sponge 104 is arranged on the trigger of the electric simulation firearm. The trigger sponge 104 is made of light-shielding black sponge.

[0033] During use, the trigger sensor 102 on the light-sensing chip 101 always receives the ambient light reflected by the trigger reflective sticker 103 in the initial state of the electric simulation firearm. In the use state, the trigger sponge 104 is driven to block the trigger reflective sticker 103 by pulling the trigger, thereby preventing the trigger reflective sticker 103 from receiving ambient light, so that the trigger sensor 102 cannot receive light, and further transmitting the trigger pulling firing signal to the light-sensing chip 101.

[0034] Further, the fast and slow machine adjusting unit 200 comprises a fast and slow machine transmission piece 201 arranged in the electric simulation firearm wave tank, a fast and slow machine sensor 202 arranged on the electric simulation firearm and cooperatively arranged with the fast and slow machine transmission piece 201, a fast and slow machine reflective sticker 203 arranged on the fast and slow machine transmission piece 201, and a control gear 204 rotatably arranged on the fast and slow machine transmission piece 201 and linked with the gear set of the electric simulation firearm.

[0035] Preferably, the rotating knob 301 is provided with three gears, which are “SAFE” safety mode, “SEMI” single-shot mode and “AUTO” continuous shooting mode.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 In the “SAFE” safety mode state, the rotating groove on the control gear is at a 0° angle relative to the fast and slow machine transmission piece. At this time, the position of the rotating knob 301 driving the control gear 204 to rotate makes the gear set of the electric simulation firearm switch to the safety mode.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4As shown, in the "SEMI" safety mode, the rotating groove on the control gear is at a 90° angle relative to the speed selector transmission plate. At this time, the rotating paddle 301 drives the control gear 204 to rotate, so that the gear group of the electric simulation firearm switches to the single-shot mode.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in the "AUTO" safety mode, the rotating groove on the control gear is at an angle of 180 degrees relative to the speed selector transmission plate. At this time, the rotating paddle 301 drives the control gear 204 to rotate, so that the gear group of the electric simulation firearm switches to the continuous firing mode.

[0039] Preferably, this method increases the function of the gear box by replacing internal accessories on the basis of the existing electric simulated firearm gear box, and the usage mode can be adjusted according to personal habits. The replacement method is to directly set a control gear 204 that cooperates with the speed selector transmission plate 201 on the rotating shaft of the rotating paddle 301, and at the same time, the control gear 204 is meshed with the internal gear set of the gear box of the simulated electric firearm. The control logic of the internal gear set of the gear box of the simulated electric firearm is existing technology. This method directly improves the control logic of the simulated electric firearm based on the existing gear gear box.

[0040] The specific usage modes of electric simulation firearms include the following five modes: shooting mode, brake adjustment mode, low voltage protection mode, pre-tension adjustment mode and factory reset mode.

[0041] In this embodiment, the light-sensing chip combined with the gear box of the electric simulation firearm has a total of five setting gears: 1. Shooting mode setting, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 lights up green; 2. Braking intensity setting, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 lights up purple; 3. Low voltage protection setting, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 lights up white; 4. Spring preload setting, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 lights up pink; 5. Restoring factory settings, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 lights up red.

[0042] Specifically, the control logic of each mode is as follows:

[0043] like Figures 6-10As shown, after entering the setting mode and connecting the power supply, the speed selector transmission plate 201 is quickly dialed in the order of single shot (SEMI) - continuous shot (AUTO) - single shot (SEMI) - continuous shot (AUTO) within 1.5 seconds, and the light emitting diode on the trigger sensor 102 lights up green, flashes once at intervals and is accompanied by a sound. At this time, mode 1 is entered, and the light emitting diode on the chip trigger sensor 102 will turn green. This mode is the shooting mode. The setting gear can be determined according to the chip sound and the number of light flashes when entering this mode. Gear 1, the green light flashes once and is accompanied by a "beep" sound. It is the default gear in this mode. The shooting function in this gear is safety, single shot, and continuous shot; pull the trigger once in mode 1 Pull the trigger to shift to gear 2, which will flash twice under the green light and be accompanied by two "beep" sounds. In this gear, the shooting functions are safety, single shot, and two-shot burst. In Mode 1 shooting mode, pull the trigger twice to shift to gear 3, which will flash three times under the green light and be accompanied by three "beep" sounds. In this gear, the shooting functions are safety, single shot, and three-shot burst. Pull the trigger three times to shift to gear 4 under Mode 1 shooting mode, which will flash four times under the green light and be accompanied by four "beep" sounds. In this gear, the shooting functions are safety, single shot, and binary. Pull the trigger four times to shift to gear 5 under Mode 1 shooting mode, which will flash five times under the green light and be accompanied by five "beep" sounds. In this gear, the shooting functions are safety, single shot, and single shot.

[0044] In mode 1, shifting the speed selector plate 201 from continuous (AUTO) to single shot (SEMI) will enter mode 2, and the LED light on the trigger sensor 102 will turn purple. This mode is the brake strength setting. After entering the brake mode, the LED on the trigger sensor 102 flashes once and is accompanied by a "beep" sound, which is gear one. When entering gear one, the brake is in the off state; pulling the trigger once in gear one is gear two, and the LED on the trigger sensor 102 flashes twice and is accompanied by two "beeps". The brake strength is 50%. This gear is the default gear; pulling the trigger once in gear two is gear three, and the LED on the trigger sensor 102 flashes three times and is accompanied by three "beeps". The brake strength is 100%. This gear is the strongest brake state.

[0045] In mode 2, switching the rate selector plate 201 from single shot (SEMI) to continuous shot (AUTO) will enter mode 3. The LED light on the trigger sensor 102 will turn white. This mode is the low voltage protection setting. The default gear is on. The white light flashes once and is accompanied by a "beep" sound. In this mode, pulling the trigger once in the default gear will turn off the low voltage protection.

[0046] In mode 3, switch the rate selector from continuous fire to single shot to enter mode 4, the LED light on the trigger sensor 102 will turn pink, this mode is the spring preload setting, the default gear in mode 6 is gear one, the pink light flashes once accompanied by a "beep" sound, and the pre-tension mode is off; in the gear one state, pull the trigger once to gear two, the LED light on the trigger sensor 102 flashes twice and is accompanied by two "beeps", and the pre-tension strength is 50%; in the gear two state, pull the trigger once to enter gear three, the LED light on the trigger sensor 102 flashes three times and is accompanied by three "beeps", the pre-tension strength is 100%, and this gear is the strongest pre-tension.

[0047] In mode 4, move the rate of fire selector from single shot to continuous fire to enter mode 5. The LED on the trigger sensor 102 will turn red and stay on. This mode is for restoring factory settings. In this mode, the chip will emit a long beep after holding the trigger for 3 seconds. After the long beep ends, the factory settings have been successfully restored.

[0048] In Mode 5, switch the rate of fire selector from continuous fire to single fire again to exit the setting mode. After exiting the setting mode, you can use the product normally.

[0049] In summary, the shooting mode has five settings, allowing users to adjust the firing mode to their desired setting, such as single shot, continuous fire, or double burst, based on their preferences or needs. The brake adjustment mode allows users to customize internal components, such as the assist spring, gear ratio, and motor, based on their preferences, due to the versatility of electric simulation firearms. These are all existing electric simulation firearm components. Under certain configurations, the gears within the electric simulation firearm's transmission are pre-activated to achieve the desired brake mode. The specific gear ratios are standard technology for electric simulation firearms. The low-voltage protection mode allows users to install batteries of varying voltages. Dry-cell batteries typically come in 11.1V or 7.4V. If the battery voltage is low, the light sensor chip automatically shuts off to prevent damage to the chip and wear to internal mechanical components. This entire power-off process follows the existing low-voltage protection control method for chip power supplies. The pre-pull adjustment mode is similar to the brake adjustment mode, but the pre-pull mechanism is used to pre-load the trigger. In the factory reset mode, all previous settings can be cleared and the electric simulation firearm can be restored to its factory state.

[0050] E-firearms equipped with this chip boast a simple gearbox structure and easy setup, making it easier to get started with electric firearms. It also reduces wear on the gearbox and extends the useful life of the firearm. This chip overcomes the technical shortcomings of traditional electric firearms, which suffer from limited functionality and low playability. It simplifies the internal structure of the gearbox, making it easy to retrofit and install on traditional electric firearms. It also offers multiple adjustable modes, allowing the firearm to be configured to suit individual preferences and needs.

[0051] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
