Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of handgun storage, in particular to a handgun safe. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's safety awareness and the increasing demand for safe storage of handguns in specific fields, the market for household or vehicle-mounted handgun safes has gradually developed. However, the current handgun safe products on the market still have many problems to be solved in terms of design and function, which limits their further application and promotion.

[0003] The current handgun safes on the market have various opening and closing methods, but lack efficiency. Some products use a side opening or closing design. Although this opening and closing method saves space to some extent, in actual use, the user needs to find the side opening mechanism first, and then open the safe through specific operations. The operation process is relatively complex, especially in emergency situations, this cumbersome opening and closing method may delay the time to use the handgun, increasing the potential safety risk.

[0004] Some products use a downward opening method. This design can use gravity to assist opening and closing to some extent, but it also has problems. When opening downward, the safe door may be limited by the space below, and in some placement environments, there may be obstacles below, making it difficult to open smoothly, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0005] In addition, some handguns that can be opened upwards have obvious defects. The opening and closing process requires two steps to complete. The user first needs to unlock, and then open the starting operation. These two steps not only increase the complexity of the operation, but also make the entire opening and closing process take a long time, which cannot meet the user's demand for quickly accessing the handgun in an emergency In the vehicle-mounted scenario, the placement position of the handgun safe is mainly concentrated in the middle of the front row of the armrest and the seat. However, the existing products perform poorly in thickness compatibility. Because the space size between the front row of the armrest and the seat of different vehicle models is different, many handgun safes do not fully consider this diversity in design, resulting in fixed product thickness, which cannot be well adapted to various vehicle models.

[0006] Some handgun safes with large thickness will occupy too much space when placed in the middle of the front row of the armrest and the seat, affecting the comfort of the front row passengers, and even may interfere with the seat or armrest, causing it to be unable to be normally placed or used. While the thickness of the smaller safe can be placed, it may be limited in internal space layout, unable to reasonably store the handgun and related accessories, affecting the safe storage of the handgun.

[0007] In addition, due to the relatively compact interior space of some small and medium-sized vehicles, the space between the front armrest and the seat is even smaller, making the compatibility issues of existing handgun safes more prominent. Many products simply cannot be used on these vehicles, limiting the widespread application of handgun safes in the automotive field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a pistol safe, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pistol safe, comprising a safe body, a pistol storage component movably disposed inside the safe body for storing a pistol; a lock is installed on the side of the safe body, and a first support member can be selectively installed on the side of the safe body or a second support member can be selectively installed on the bottom of the safe body for wall mounting or vehicle mounting functions.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner side of the box is provided with a horizontal baffle and a stepped groove. The horizontal baffle is located above the stepped groove and is used to provide limiting support when the pistol storage component is ejected. The upper part of the box is rotatably connected to a cover plate, and the end of the cover plate is connected to a locking ring. The locking ring is locked with a lock when the cover plate is closed to form a closed storage space.

[0011] Furthermore, the pistol storage assembly includes: The support frame, movably installed inside the housing, is used to support the pistol and related components; The guide rod, installed inside the housing, provides movement guidance for the bracket; The linear bearing is mounted on the side of the bracket via a support and slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod to achieve stable sliding of the bracket; The first spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, with its bottom end abutting against the bottom end of the inside of the box and its top end abutting against the bottom end of the linear bearing, and is used to provide elastic potential energy for the bracket to pop out. The lower and upper spring positioning beads are respectively installed on the side of the bracket. The lower spring positioning bead is located below the linear bearing, and the upper spring positioning bead is located above the linear bearing. They are used to provide positioning and cushioning during the movement of the bracket. The pistol slot and magazine slot are installed inside the bracket, with the pistol placed in the pistol slot and the magazine slot used to hold the pistol's magazine.

[0012] Furthermore, a locking device is installed at the top of the bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking device includes: The base, mounted on top of the bracket, provides a mounting foundation for the internal components. The locking tongue is movably located inside the base and is used to engage with the internal structure of the box to lock when the cover is closed. The second spring, connecting the base and the latch, is used to provide the elastic force for the latch to return to its original position. The bevel, located inside the bolt, is used to cooperate with external triggering components to achieve the unlocking action; The contact is slidably connected to the upper part of the base, and its bottom end is connected to the pressure rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressure bar abuts against the inclined plane to push the latch to unlock when subjected to external pressure.

[0015] Furthermore, the lock includes: The lock cylinder, installed on the side of the lock body, is the core component of the lock. Mechanical locks, combination locks, and fingerprint locks are installed on the surface of the lock cylinder and are used to unlock the lock by fingerprint, password, or mechanical key. After unlocking, the lock cylinder separates from the lock ring, allowing the cover to be opened.

[0016] Furthermore, the second support member includes: The insert plate is installed at the bottom of the box and is used to cooperate with the vehicle-mounted fixing structure to achieve fixation. A sponge is inserted between the front seats and the center armrest, with slots inside. Inserts fit into these slots to secure the sponge in the vehicle.

[0017] This invention provides a pistol safe. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This pistol safe abandons the common multi-step, complex opening and closing designs found in the market, innovatively adopting a single-step quick-opening mechanism. Users only need to unlock it using fingerprint, password, or mechanical key. The lock instantly releases the restraint on the locking ring, and the pistol storage component quickly pops out under the action of internal elastic potential energy. Compared to the cumbersome process of traditional products where side opening requires finding a specific opening mechanism, downward opening is easily obstructed by space below, and upward opening requires two steps, this safe simplifies the opening and closing steps to the extreme, greatly shortening the opening time. In the event of an emergency, every second is crucial. This safe's single-step quick-opening function ensures that users can retrieve their pistol in the shortest possible time, respond promptly to emergencies, and buy precious time for life and property safety, significantly improving the user's security capabilities.

[0018] 2. This pistol safe boasts a high degree of flexibility in its opening and closing direction, breaking through the limitations of traditional products with a single opening and closing direction. Its ingenious structural design allows for flexible adjustment of the opening and closing direction to suit different installation environments and usage needs. Whether in a home setting requiring adaptation to confined spaces or in a vehicle setting needing to accommodate the specific layout between the front seats and the center armrest, this safe can achieve a suitable opening and closing direction through simple structural adjustments. This multi-directional adaptability design allows this product to easily integrate into various usage scenarios, providing users with great convenience and solving the installation limitations caused by the fixed opening and closing direction of traditional products, further expanding the application range of pistol safes.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a pistol safe, which adopts a modular design and is composed of main components such as a box body 1, a pistol storage component 2, a lock 4, a first support component 5 and a second support component 6. The safe storage and quick access of the pistol are achieved through the coordinated work of the components. The housing 1 is a one-piece molded structure made of high-strength alloy material, featuring robustness, durability, and strong impact resistance. Symmetrical mounting slots are provided on both sides of its interior for installing guide rods 22, with pre-set positioning holes at the bottom of the mounting slots for precise positioning and installation of the guide rods 22. A horizontal baffle 11 is welded to the center of the inner side of the housing 1. The horizontal baffle 11 is made of smooth-surfaced steel plate with a thickness of approximately 2mm. A stepped groove 12, 5mm deep, is formed between its upper surface and the side wall of the housing 1. The upper part of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to a cover plate 13 via a hinge structure. The hinge is made of high-strength stainless steel to ensure smooth and stable opening and closing of the cover plate 13. A locking ring 14 is welded to the end of the cover plate 13. The locking ring 14 is a metal ring with a diameter that matches the lock cylinder 41 of the lock 4. The pistol storage assembly includes: a bracket 21: the bracket 21 is made of aluminum alloy frame structure, manufactured through stamping and welding processes, resulting in a lightweight yet high-strength structure. The bracket 21 has symmetrically welded bracket plates on both sides for mounting linear bearings 23. Inside the bracket 21 are a pistol slot 27 and a magazine slot 28. The pistol 3 is placed in the pistol slot 27, and the magazine slot 28 is used to hold the pistol 3's magazine.

[0023] Guide rod 22 and linear bearing 23: Guide rod 22 is a solid stainless steel rod with a diameter of 10mm and a polished surface to reduce friction with linear bearing 23. Linear bearing 23 is a standard model and is fixed to the bracket plates on both sides of bracket 21 by bolts, and slidably sleeved on the outside of guide rod 22 to ensure that bracket 21 slides stably along the direction of guide rod 22 inside housing 1.

[0024] First spring 24: The first spring 24 is a high-strength compression spring with a wire diameter of about 0.8mm, an outer diameter of about 8mm, and a length of about 207mm. Its bottom end is fixed to the positioning post at the bottom of the box 1 by welding, and its top end abuts against the bottom end of the linear bearing 23, providing elastic potential energy for the ejection of the pistol storage assembly 2.

[0025] The lower spring positioning ball 25 and the upper spring positioning ball 26 are both composed of a spring, a steel ball, and a mounting base. The mounting base is installed on the side of the bracket 21 via a threaded connection. The lower spring positioning ball 25 is located 10mm below the linear bearing 23, and the upper spring positioning ball 26 is located 20mm above the linear bearing 23. The steel ball has a diameter of approximately 8mm and cooperates with the stepped groove 12 and the transverse baffle 11 to achieve positioning during ejection and retraction.

[0026] The base 291 of the locking device 29 is fixed to the top of the bracket 21 by bolts. An installation cavity is formed inside the base 291. The locking tongue 292 is movably installed in the installation cavity via a rotating shaft. Torsion springs are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft to provide a restoring force for the locking tongue 292. The second spring 294 is a tension spring, with one end connected to the inside of the base 291 and the other end connected to the tail of the locking tongue 292, further ensuring the restoring stability of the locking tongue 292. The inclined surface 293 inside the locking tongue 292 has an angle of 30°. The contact 295 is a cylindrical plastic material that is slidably connected to the upper part of the base 291 via a slide rail structure. The pressure rod 296 connected to the bottom of the contact 295 is a 4mm diameter metal rod that tightly abuts against the inclined surface 293. The lock cylinder 41 of lock 4 is bolted into a pre-drilled mounting hole on the side of the housing 1. A mechanical lock 42, a combination lock 43, and a fingerprint lock 44 are respectively mounted on the surface of the lock cylinder 41. The mechanical lock 42 uses a traditional key lock cylinder structure, with the keyhole located on the side surface of the housing 1. Unlocking is achieved by turning the lock cylinder 41 with a key. The combination lock 43 is an electronic keypad lock with a built-in microprocessor and password storage module. Users can unlock it by entering a preset password via the keypad. The fingerprint lock 44 uses a semiconductor fingerprint recognition module, featuring high accuracy and fast recognition. Users only need to place their finger in the fingerprint recognition area to unlock. All three locks are linked to the locking mechanism of the lock cylinder 41. After unlocking, the locking pin inside the lock cylinder 41 retracts and separates from the lock ring 14. The first support component 5 is a wall-mounted special component, made of stainless steel in one piece, and is installed on the side of the box 1 with screws. The second support component 6 is a vehicle-mounted special component, with the insert plate 61 being a 4mm thick stainless steel plate, and is installed on the bottom of the box 1 with screws. The sponge 62 is made of high-density polyurethane foam, and its shape is designed according to the space between the front seat and the center armrest. The internal slot 63 is shaped to fit the insert plate 61, and the slot 63 is 80mm deep. After the insert plate 61 is inserted into the slot 63, it is tightly fixed by the elastic deformation of the sponge 62. Handgun storage process: The user first places the handgun 3 into the positioning groove 271 of the handgun slot 27, ensuring that the handgun 3 fits tightly with the positioning groove 271. The magazine of the handgun 3 is placed in the magazine slot 28. Then, the handgun storage assembly 2 is pressed down, and the bracket 21 moves downward along the guide rod 22. The linear bearing 23 compresses the first spring 24, causing the first spring 24 to contract and store force. During the descent of the bracket 21, the lower spring positioning ball 25 and the upper spring positioning ball 26 pass through the stepped groove 12 and the horizontal baffle 11 in sequence. When the bracket 21 is pressed into place, the locking tongue 292 is locked under the horizontal baffle 11 by the torsion spring and the second spring 294, preventing the bracket 21 from rebounding. Finally, cover plate 13 is closed, locking ring 14 presses down contact 295, contact 295 and pressure rod 296 press down slope 293 as a whole, causing locking tongue 292 to move to the right and disengage from the locking state with horizontal baffle 11. However, since cover plate 13 is not locked by lock 4, pistol storage component 2 is still in the pressed state, waiting for the next unlocking to pop out. Handgun Retrieval Process: The user can choose to unlock the handgun using any of the following methods: mechanical lock 42, combination lock 43, or fingerprint lock 44. Taking fingerprint lock 44 as an example, the user places their finger in the fingerprint recognition area. The semiconductor fingerprint recognition module inside fingerprint lock 44 quickly recognizes the fingerprint information and compares it with the preset fingerprint template. If the comparison is successful, fingerprint lock 44 sends an unlock signal to lock cylinder 41. The lock stop pin inside lock cylinder 41 retracts and separates from lock ring 14. At the moment of unlocking, the first spring 24, which was originally compressed, quickly returns to its original shape under the action of elastic potential energy, pushing the linear bearing 23 and bracket 21 to move upward as a whole. The handgun storage component 2 causes the handgun 3 to quickly pop out of the housing 1. After popping out into position, the lower spring positioning bead 25 engages with the stepped groove 12, and the upper spring positioning bead 26 engages with the horizontal baffle 11, realizing the positioning of handgun storage component 2. The user can then directly retrieve the handgun 3.
