Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fly gun toy that utilizes compressed air and uses orange peels as bullets for the safe killing of small insects such as flies and mosquitoes. Background Technology
[0002] Existing indoor fly and mosquito control tools mainly include electric mosquito swatters, chemical insecticides, and various fly traps. Electric mosquito swatters require electricity and pose certain safety risks; chemical insecticides may have adverse effects on human health and the environment; traditional projectile toy guns mostly use plastic BB pellets, which pose a risk of accidental injury and the pellets are not easily degradable. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, environmentally friendly, fun device that can accurately target small flying insects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention aims to provide a fly-killing toy that uses orange peels as bullets, solving the problems of existing insect-killing tools being environmentally unfriendly, unsafe, or lacking in fun. Its core lies in using compressed air as power and biodegradable fruit peels as bullets to achieve safe and precise physical insect control.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A fly-killing gun toy, characterized in that it includes: a gun frame, a PP material gun barrel with a bayonet at one end, a PP tubular cartridge case, a force-bearing arm, an energy storage mechanism, a firing pin assembly, a firing pin fixing sleeve, a finger trigger mechanism, and a hand grip.
[0006] The firing pin assembly consists of a wire firing pin rod, a wooden pull block, and a buffer pad. The buffer pad is fitted onto the end of the wire firing pin rod to reduce the impact force on the firing pin retaining sleeve during firing. The wooden pull block is fixed to the rear of the firing pin rod and has a groove underneath. This groove engages with the locking teeth of a fixing protrusion located at the rear of the gun mount, used to secure the firing pin assembly during charging. The firing pin retaining sleeve is fixed to the middle section of the gun mount. Its function is to limit the firing stroke of the firing pin rod, preventing it from puncturing the bayonet at the front of the barrel. Simultaneously, during the charging state, it holds the firing pin rod to prevent accidental discharge and provides operating space for bullet loading.
[0007] The energy storage mechanism is preferably a rubber band or a spring, with its two ends connected to the slots on both sides of the front force arm of the gun mount, and its middle part connected to the tail end of the firing pin assembly to provide excitation power for the firing pin.
[0008] The trigger mechanism is located at the rear end of the gun mount and includes a trigger. This mechanism works by wrapping a rubber band around a specific position at the rear of the gun mount, causing the trigger to be inserted diagonally into the gap between the gun mount and the rubber band. Utilizing the elastic tension of the rubber band, when the trigger is pulled, the upper end of the trigger tilts upwards, thereby lifting the wooden pull block's slot and disengaging it from the locking mechanism at the rear end of the gun mount, thus achieving firing. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the energy storage mechanism and the gun frame at the intersection after firing, according to the present invention.
[0010] Figure 2 :for Figure 1 A view of the outer surface of a fly-killing toy after it has been rotated 90 degrees in a charged state. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The fly-killing gun toy of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Implementation Method 1:
[0012] See Figures 1-2 A fly-killing gun toy, with a gun holder (1) as the main support structure. A PP tube with a length of 9cm, an outer diameter of 0.45mm, and an inner diameter of 0.22mm is fixed to the front end of the gun holder (1) as the gun barrel (2). About 1cm from the port of the gun barrel (2), the tube wall is deformed by external force to form an inwardly protruding notch (21). The diameter at the notch (21) is less than 0.5 times the original inner diameter of the gun barrel (2).
[0013] At the rear end of the barrel (2), a plastic tube (22) is fitted and fixed with a piece of plastic tubing wrapped with tape. The inner diameter of the tube (22) fits tightly with the outer diameter of the barrel (2), and a length of about 0.4 cm is reserved for guiding and accommodating the loading of bullets.
[0014] The firing pin rod (32) of the firing pin assembly (3) preferably has a diameter between 0.5 and 0.95 times the inner diameter of the barrel and a length of 9 cm. The slot (34) on the wooden pull rod (31) engages with the locking teeth (8) at the rear of the gun mount (1). The firing pin retaining sleeve (6) ensures that the firing pin rod can only advance to the predetermined position near the bayonet (22) of the barrel (2) when fired.
[0015] When in use, first lock the firing pin assembly (3) into the locking teeth (8), and then prepare the bullet: take a section of PC tube with the same inner and outer diameter as the barrel (2) as the cartridge case (9), press one end of it vertically and through a piece of orange peel (10), so that the orange peel (10) is embedded in one end of the cartridge case (9). Then, insert the assembled bullet (11) from the sleeve (22) at the rear end of the barrel (2), so that the other end of the orange peel bullet (11) is connected to the barrel (2).
[0016] Then, charge up the power: insert the steel wire rod (32) of the firing pin assembly (3) into the rear end of the orange peel bullet (11), and push the orange peel (10) forward to a position close to the locking slot (21). Then, pull the wooden pull block (31) backward to overcome the tension of the rubber band (4) until its slot (34) is locked by the locking tooth (8) at the rear end of the gun mount. At this time, the rubber band (4) is stretched and charged. In this charged state, a second bullet can be loaded again: take out the previously loaded bullet casing (9), and then load another orange peel bullet (11) with the orange peel already pressed into the sleeve (22) at the rear end of the barrel (2).
[0017] Pulling the trigger (51) of the finger-operated trigger mechanism (5) causes the trigger (51) to tilt upwards and open the slot (34), causing the firing pin assembly (3) to move forward at high speed under the tension of the rubber band (4). The firing pin propels the orange peel of the second bullet forward at high speed within the barrel (2), compressing the air between it and the orange peel of the first bullet. The compressed air generates high pressure, pushing the orange peel of the first bullet located near the chuck (21), causing it to deform under the pressure of the high-pressure gas and the friction and compression of the chuck (21), and finally ejecting it from the barrel at high speed towards the target.
[0018] Because the bullets are made of fruit peel, they decompose naturally after firing, making them safe and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the fruit peel is soft, and the propulsion comes from compressed air with limited energy, therefore posing no substantial harm to humans or pets. They are safe, reliable, and suitable for recreational and pest control use by people of all ages.
[0019] Key features and advantages of this invention: 1. Environmental friendliness: The core projectile (bullet) is made from waste fruit peels, which can be completely biodegradable, solving the pollution problem of traditional plastic bullets. 2. Safety: The power source is compressed air generated by mechanical energy storage (rubber band / spring), and the energy is controllable; the bullet is soft and moist fruit peel, with low impact force, and is inherently safe. 3. Fun and Educational: Combining insect control with handicrafts and physical principles (pneumatic transmission), it is both practical and fun. 4. Precision: By adjusting the charge level and barrel length, the range and accuracy can be controlled, making it suitable for targeted elimination of indoor flying insects. 5. Economic efficiency: The main materials are everyday waste items and common plastic pipes, rubber bands, etc., with extremely low cost.
