[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the toy water gun in this embodiment includes a gun housing 1, a water storage container 2 arranged in the gun housing 1, and a water suction and spraying module arranged in the gun housing 1. The water suction and spraying module includes a two-way water pump 3, a connecting pipe 4 and a switching device 5.

[0042] like Figure 3 - Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the connecting pipe 4 is provided in the connecting pipe 4, and a first chamber 41 and a second chamber 42 which are separated from each other are provided in the connecting pipe 4, a water spray port 411 and a first water inlet and outlet 412 are axially spaced apart on the side wall of the first chamber 41, and a first water pump interface 413 for connecting to one of the interfaces of the two-way water pump 3 is provided between the water spray port 411 and the first water inlet and outlet 412. A water suction port 421 and a second water inlet and outlet 422 are axially spaced apart on the side wall of the second chamber 42, and a second water pump interface 423 for connecting to the other interface of the two-way water pump 3 is provided between the water suction port 421 and the second water inlet and outlet 422.

[0043] The water spray port 411 and the water suction port 421 of the connecting pipe 4 are relatively arranged on both sides of the water pump connection part (i.e., the first water pump interface 413 and the second water pump interface 423), that is, there is a height difference between the water spray port 411 and the water suction port 421. The first water inlet and outlet 412 and the second water inlet and outlet 422 are also relatively arranged on both sides of the water pump connection part, and the first water inlet and outlet 412 and the second water inlet and outlet 422 are both connected to the water storage container 2, so that the dual water pump 3 can be connected to the water storage container 2 through the connecting pipe 4.

[0044] The switching device 5 is movably connected to the connecting pipe 4, and the switching device 5 is controlled to move between the water spray port 411 and the water suction port 421. When the switching device 5 moves, the water pump connection part can be connected to the outside through the water spray port 411 or the water suction port 421. Specifically, Figure 5 - Fig. 9 As shown, the switching device 5 comprises a first plug rod 51, a second plug rod 52 and a switching member 53. The first plug rod 51 is slidably disposed in the first chamber 41, and the second plug rod 52 is slidably disposed in the second chamber 42.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the switching member 53 includes a slider 531 and a push plate 532. One end of the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 are connected to the slider 531. A slide groove 11 is provided in the gun housing 1, and the slider 531 is slidably provided in the slide groove 11. The push plate 532 is connected to the slider 531, and is used to drive the slider 531 to move in the slide groove 11. By moving the push plate 532, the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 can be driven to move at the same time. When the first plug rod 51 moves, the water spray port 411 and the first water pump interface 413 will be connected or closed, and the movement of the second plug rod 52 will connect or close the water suction port 421 and the second water pump interface 423.

[0046] More specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting portion 5311 is provided at the bottom of the slider 531, and plug blocks are correspondingly provided at the ends of the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52, and the plug blocks are plugged into the connecting portion 5311, so as to achieve the fixation of the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 to the slider 531. In order to facilitate user operation, a toggle portion 5321 is provided on the push plate 532, and a sliding hole 12 is provided on the outer wall of the gun housing 1, and the toggle portion 5321 is arranged in the sliding hole 12. On the outer wall of the gun housing 1, indicator marks 13 for indicating the position of the toggle portion 5321 are also provided on both sides of the sliding hole 12.

[0047] Further optimized, Figure 7 - Fig. 9 As shown, two plugs 512 are provided on the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52, and the plugs 512 are connected to the inner diameters of the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 by means of connecting sealing rings, etc. A rod body 513 is provided between the two plugs 512 on the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52, and the rod diameter of the rod body 513 is smaller than the diameter of the plugs 512, so that there is a gap between the rod body 513 and the inner walls of the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42, so that water can flow through the gap between the rod body 513 and the corresponding connecting pipe fittings.

[0048] Regarding the further optimization of the connecting pipe 4, Figure 4 As shown, the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are integrally formed. One end of the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 is open, and the other end is closed, so that the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 can be inserted. The water spray port 411 is located at the closed end of the first chamber 41 and extends outwardly in the radial direction of the first chamber 41 to facilitate access to the gun head on the gun housing 1. The water suction port 421 is located in the middle of the second chamber 42 and extends outwardly in the radial direction of the second chamber 42 to facilitate access to the gun head on the gun housing 1.

[0049] It should be noted that, since the first chamber 41 and the second chamber 42 are both open structures, in the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52, one of the plug heads 512 of each rod body 513 can move within the vertical range between the water spray port 411 and the water suction port 421, and the other plug head 512 moves outside the opening range of the first water inlet and outlet 412 and the second water inlet and outlet 422. The above arrangement is used to ensure that the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 move simultaneously, which can selectively block the passage between the water spray port 411 and the first water pump interface 413, or the passage between the water suction port 421 and the second water pump interface 423, and ensure that the first water inlet and outlet 412 and the second water inlet and outlet 422 always remain in an open state.

[0050] Figure 2 As shown, the gun housing 1 is also provided with a trigger 6, a first start switch 7, a second start switch 8 and a control circuit. The first start switch 7 and the second start switch 8 are electrically connected to the corresponding input terminals of the control circuit, respectively, and the two-way water pump 3 is electrically connected to the corresponding output terminals of the control circuit. The trigger 6 is slidably arranged in the middle of the gun housing 1, and the first start switch 7 is arranged at the rear side of the trigger 6. When the trigger 6 moves backward, the first start switch 7 is triggered, thereby controlling the two-way water pump 3 to extract water from the water storage container 2. A gripping portion 14 is arranged at the lower part of the gun housing 1, and the second start switch 8 is arranged on the gripping portion 14. By triggering the second start switch 8, the two-way water pump 3 can be controlled to pump water into the water storage container 2.

[0051] It should be noted that the operation of the bidirectional water pump 3 is realized by the cooperation of the first start switch 7 and the second start switch 8 with the control circuit, and the principle thereof is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, a gun head 9 is also provided at the end of the gun housing 1, and a water spray hole 91 and a filter screen 92 are provided on the gun head 9. The water spray hole 91 is provided corresponding to the water spray port 411, and the filter screen 92 is provided corresponding to the water suction port 421.

[0053] Working principle:

[0054] When in use, the user switches the water spraying or water suctioning mode by moving the toggle part 5321. When the toggle part 5321 is located at an indicator mark 13, the plugs 512 at the same position in the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 are both moved to the first position of the connecting pipe 4. The first plug rod 51 in the first position will block the passage between the water spraying port 411 and the first water pump interface 413, and the second plug rod 52 in the first position will connect the water suction port 421 and the second water pump interface 423. Since the water spraying port 411 and the first water inlet and outlet 412 are arranged on both sides of the first water pump interface 413, and the water suction port 421 and the second water inlet and outlet 422 are arranged on both sides of the second water pump interface 423, when the first plug rod 51 is in the first position, the first water inlet and outlet 412 is connected to the first water pump interface 413; when the second plug rod 52 is in the first position, the passage between the second water inlet and outlet 422 and the second water pump interface 423 is blocked. At this time, the external water flow can flow to the water storage container 2 through the water suction port 421, the second water pump interface 423, the first water pump interface 413 and the first water inlet and outlet 412 in sequence, and the toy water gun is in the water suction mode.

[0055] When it is necessary to switch to the water spraying mode, the user only needs to move the toggle portion 5321 to another indicator mark 13, and the plugs 512 at the same position in the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 are both moved to the second position of the connecting pipe 4. When the first plug rod 51 is in the second position, the water spraying port 411 and the first water pump interface 413 are connected, and the passage between the first water inlet and outlet 412 and the first water pump interface 413 is blocked. When the second plug rod 52 is in the second position, the passage between the water suction port 421 and the second water pump interface 423 is blocked, and the connection between the second water inlet and outlet 422 and the second water pump interface 423 is opened. At this time, the water flow in the water storage container 2 can be ejected to the outside through the second water inlet and outlet 422, the second water pump interface 423, the first water pump interface 413 and the water spraying port 411 in sequence, and the toy water gun is in the water spraying mode.

[0056] In the water spraying mode, the user starts the two-way water pump 3 by pulling the trigger 6, so that the water in the water storage container 2 is pumped into the first chamber 41 and sprayed out through the water spraying port 411 and the water spraying hole 91. In the water absorption mode, the user starts the two-way water pump 3 by pressing the second starting switch 8, so that the external water is pumped into the second chamber 42 through the filter screen 92 and the water absorption port 421, and finally stored in the water storage container 2.

[0057] Embodiment 2

[0058] Different from the first embodiment, Fig.10 - Fig.12As shown, in this embodiment, a cavity 43 is provided in the connecting pipe fitting 4, and the water pump connecting part includes a single water pump interface 44 located in the cavity 43, the single water pump interface 44 and the water storage container 2 are respectively connected with two interfaces of the two-way water pump 3, and the cavity 43 is provided with a water spray port 411 and a water suction port 421 on both sides of the single water pump interface 44.

[0059] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the switching device 5 includes a third plug rod 54 and a switching member 53. The third plug rod 54 is slidably disposed in the cavity 43. The switching member 53 is connected to the third plug rod 54, so that the third plug rod 54 can be driven to move between the water spray port 411, the single water pump interface 44 and the water suction port 421. During the movement, the third plug rod 54 can connect the water spray port 411 and the single water pump interface 44 while closing the water suction port 421 and the single water pump interface 44, or can connect the water suction port 421 and the single water pump interface 44 while closing the water spray port 411 and the single water pump interface 44.

[0060] Working principle:

[0061] When in use, the user switches the water spraying or water suctioning mode by moving the toggle portion 5321. When the toggle portion 5321 is located at an indicator mark 13, the third plug rod 54 closes the connection between the water spraying port 411 and the single water pump interface 44, and opens the connection between the water suction port 421 and the single water pump interface 44. At this time, the external water flow can enter the two-way water pump 3 through the water suction port 421 and the single water pump interface 44 in turn, and finally be drawn into the water storage container 2, and the toy water gun is in the water suction mode.

[0062] When it is necessary to switch to the water spraying mode, the user only needs to move the toggle portion 5321 to another indicator mark 13, and at this time, the third plug rod 54 connects the water spraying port 411 and the single water pump interface 44, while closing the water suction port 421 and the single water pump interface 44. The two-way water pump 3 can suck the water flow in the water storage container 2 into the cavity 43, and finally eject the water flow to the outside through the water spraying port 412.

[0063] The toy water gun of the utility model realizes the switching function of spraying water and absorbing water through a simple mechanical structure. Compared with the traditional electric toy water gun, its structure is simpler, the production cost is lower, and it is more convenient to use. At the same time, by setting the indicator mark, the user can clearly understand the current working mode, which improves the use experience.

[0064] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
