[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1, this embodiment provides a quick-install smoke simulator, which includes a smoke generating unit and a smoke canister. Among them, the smoke generating unit further includes a shell, a fixing assembly and a driving assembly 7. Specifically, the shell includes a mounting box 1 and an upper cover 2 hinged to one side of the mounting box 1. A wire tube 16 is provided on one side of the mounting box 1 for passing signal lines, power lines and other cables, for cooperating with training exercises to perform smoke simulation and power supply to the equipment. The upper cover 2 completely covers the mounting box 1 to prevent soil from entering the mounting box 1. A vertically arranged first pipe 3 is also provided on the upper cover 2. One end of the first pipe 3 extends to the inside of the shell, and the other end extends to the outside of the shell, which has the effect of connecting the inside and outside of the shell. The smoke emitted by the smoke canister is dissipated from the shell through the first pipe 3, thereby forming a smoke simulation effect. At the same time, the length of the tube body of the first pipe 3 located outside the shell can be appropriately extended so that when the shell is buried in the shallow soil, the outlet of the first pipe 3 can extend out of the ground. At the same time, the tube body of the first pipe 3 can be used as a handle, and the upper cover 2 can be pulled out of the shallow soil through the first pipe 3. In order to facilitate opening the upper cover 2 in the shallow soil. The top of the upper cover 2 is set to an angular shape. From the cross-section, the shape of the upper cover 2 is a triangle with the sharp corner on the top. The soil covering the upper cover 2 is easy to be pushed away and slide away, so that the upper cover 2 is easy to be opened. Based on the same principle, the shape of the upper cover 2 can also be designed to have an arc-shaped upper surface.

[0029] The fixing assembly needs to be installed in the shell. Specifically, the fixing assembly includes a base 4, two clamping plates 5 and two first springs 6. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the base 4 is set as an arc surface, which is used to match the outer surface of the tank body 8 of the smoke tank to prevent it from rolling. The length direction of the base 4 points to the first pipe 3. A T-shaped slot along the length direction of the base 4 is provided in the middle position of the upper surface of the base 4. The bottoms of the two clamping plates 5 are fixedly connected with T-shaped blocks matching the T-shaped slots. The T-shaped blocks slide in the T-shaped slots, thereby enabling the two clamping plates 5 to slide on the base 4. A limiting slot is provided on the clamping plate 5 close to the first pipe 3, and this setting is not made on the other clamping plate 5. The two first springs 6 are both arranged in the T-shaped slots. And the two first springs 6 are respectively located on the sides of the two clamping plates 5 away from each other. One end of the first spring 6 abuts against the inner wall of the T-shaped slot, and the other end abuts against the T-shaped block. The initial length of the two first springs 6 is designed so that the distance between the two clamps 5 is less than the length of the tank body 8 of the smoke can, that is, the smoke can can be clamped and fixed by the two clamps 5. The drive component 7 can use a commercially available electric cylinder. The fixed end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 1, and the telescopic end is connected to the clamp 5 away from the first pipe 3. The telescopic end can be fixedly connected or abutted with the clamp 5. The retraction stroke of the electric cylinder needs to be considered when fixedly connected. When abutting, the automatic resetting of the clamp 5 is achieved by the first spring 6.

[0030] The smoke canister needs to be designed to match the smoke generating unit. Figure 2 As shown, the smoke tank includes a tank body 8, a limiting portion 9, a one-way valve nozzle 10, a baffle 11 and a second spring 12. The tank body 8 is filled with high-pressure smoke. The limiting portion 9 is arranged at the center of one end of the tank body 8, and the diameter of the limiting portion 9 matches the limiting groove. The tank body 8 is clamped between two clamping plates 5, and the limiting portion 9 is just placed in the limiting groove to ensure the direction of the one-way valve nozzle 10. The one-way valve nozzle 10 is arranged at the center of the limiting portion 9 and is connected to the tank body 8. The baffle 11 and the second spring 12 are both fixedly sleeved on the one-way valve nozzle 10, and the second spring 12 is located between the baffle 11 and the limiting portion 9. Under normal conditions, the second spring 12 props open the baffle 11 and the limiting portion 9, so that the one-way valve nozzle 10 is in a closed state. Driven by the driving assembly 7, the smoke can moves so that the one-way valve nozzle 10 is squeezed on a certain protrusion. When the one-way valve nozzle 10 overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 12, the one-way valve nozzle 10 opens, and the internal smoke is sprayed to the external environment through the first pipe 3 to achieve smoke simulation.

[0031] In another embodiment, the protrusions provided in the above embodiment may be replaced with another structure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting plate 13 and a second pipe 14 may also be provided in the housing. The limiting plate 13 is vertically connected to one end of the base 4 near the limiting groove. And a through hole concentric with the limiting groove is provided on the limiting plate 13. The diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the baffle 11 and larger than the diameter of the one-way valve mouth 10. The limiting plate 13 serves to squeeze the one-way valve mouth 10 to open it. One end of the second pipe 14 is connected to the limiting plate 13 and communicated with the through hole, and the other end is abutted and communicated with the second pipe 14 and can be detached at any time. Such a design enables the smoke in the smoke tank to be directly guided out to the outside without having to spread in the housing first. In another embodiment, the second pipe 14 may be connected to a third pipe 15. The third pipe 15 is vertically arranged, and the inlet of the third pipe 15 corresponds to the outlet of the first pipe 3, and the outlet of the third pipe 15 points to the bottom of the box of the installation box 1. The design of the third pipe 15 can make the dust accidentally dropped from the first pipe 3 fall into the bottom of the installation box 1, and will not directly block the first pipe 3, causing it to not emit smoke. To this end, the bottom of the base 4 can be connected to the bottom of the installation box 1 through a pad rod to prevent dust from covering the base 4.

[0032] Working principle: The shell is pre-buried in the shallow surface, the top of the shell is 5-10cm away from the ground, and the length of the first pipe 3 exposed above the ground is 5-10cm. When the smoke can needs to be replaced, the first pipe 3 is directly pulled with force to drive the upper cover 2 to open on the installation box 1. At this time, the soil is opened to the side as the upper cover 2 is opened, and the structure in the installation box 1 is directly exposed. Take out the used smoke can at this time. Clamp the tank body 8 of the new smoke can directly between the two clamps 5, and make the limit part 9 stand on the limit groove, and the one-way valve mouth 10 align with the through hole on the limit plate 13. At this time, the installation of the smoke can is completed. Then close the upper cover 2 again, cover the soil to complete the rapid installation of the smoke simulator. When the smoke can is required to smoke, the telescopic end of the drive electric cylinder pushes the clamp 5 outward. The clamp 5 and the smoke can move toward the limit plate 13 as a whole until the one-way valve mouth 10 is squeezed, so that the internal smoke is sprayed out from the first pipe 3. When the smoke emission stops, the telescopic end of the electric cylinder retracts, driving the clamping plate 5 and the smoke can to retract, or the clamping plate 5 automatically retracts under the action of the first spring 6. The one-way valve nozzle 10 is not squeezed and resets under the elastic force of the second spring 12, closing the can body 8 and stopping the smoke can from emitting smoke. The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are not described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0033] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
