For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present utility model, this case provides a catapult toy, which includes a body 100 provided with a first cavity 110, a driving member 120, and a telescopic assembly 200 located inside the body 100. The body 100 and the driving member 120 are movably connected through the telescopic assembly 200. The telescopic assembly 200 includes a catapult tube 210, a catapult 220, and a catapult assembly 230. A catapult tube 210 is provided inside the body 100. One end of the catapult tube 210 forms an open end and extends outward. The bottom of the catapult tube 210 is provided with a catapult assembly 230. The catapult 220 is located inside the catapult tube 210. One end of it is connected to the driving member 120, and the other end is connected to the catapult assembly 230. Driven by the catapult assembly 230, the driving member 120 is catapulted outward. A number of extension parts 140 also extend outward around the body 100. An enclosed airbag cavity 130 is provided inside the extension parts 140 for protecting the body 100.

[0026] Specifically, insert the catapult 220 into the catapult tube 210 and use the catapult assembly 230 to hold the catapult 220 in place. The catapult 220 is held. One end of the catapult 220 is connected to the driving member 120, and the catapult operation of the driving member 120 is ready to be carried out. The driving member 120 can be made of a soft material such as a plush ball or a rubber toy. At this time, the catapult 220 is in the initial position, and the catapult assembly 230 is in a standby state. Press or pull the catapult assembly 230 forcefully, and the catapult 220 moves linearly inside the catapult tube 210. As the catapult 220 moves, the driving member 120 is quickly pushed out of the catapult tube 210 to complete the catapult action. During the catapult process, if the toy is impacted by an external force, the airbag cavity 130 inside the extension part 140 will absorb part of the impact energy to protect the body 100 from damage. Through the design of the telescopic assembly 200, the stable and efficient catapult of the catapult object is realized, the fun and challenge of the toy are improved, and compared with traditional catapult toys, the structure of this embodiment is simpler and more compact, and is easy to manufacture and maintain.

[0027] In another embodiment of the utility model, the ejection assembly 230 includes a first spring 240, a clamping component 250, and a linkage component 260. One end of the first spring 240 is connected to the bottom side wall of the ejection cylinder 210, and the other end of the first spring 240 is connected to the bottom of the ejector 220. An emptying groove 270 is provided at one end of the ejector 220. The linkage component 260 is arranged outside the ejection cylinder 210. One end of the linkage component 260 is connected to one end of the clamping component 250, and the other end of the clamping component 250 extends into the emptying groove 270. Specifically, the object to be launched is placed into the ejection cylinder 210, and it is ensured that the ejector 220 is correctly installed and in a locked state (i.e., the clamping component 250 extends into the emptying groove 270). The user presses the button 263 (trigger switch), and the signal is transmitted to the clamping component 250 through the linkage component 260. After receiving the signal, the clamping component 250 quickly withdraws from the emptying groove 270 of the ejector 220, releasing the lock on the ejector 220. With the unlocking of the clamping component 250, the energy stored in the first spring 240 is instantaneously released, pushing the ejector 220 and the object to be launched to move forward at high speed, achieving ejection.

[0028] In another embodiment of the utility model, the linkage component 260 includes a support base 261, a lever 262, and a button 263. One end of the lever 262 is connected to the button 263, and the other end of the lever 262 is connected to the clamping component 250. Driven by the button 263, the clamping component 250 is lifted to release the ejector 220. The support base 261 is the fixed foundation of the linkage component 260. It provides a support point for the rotation of the lever 262 and ensures the stability of the entire linkage component 260. One end of the lever 262 is connected to the button 263 by a pin shaft or other connection means, and the other end is connected to the clamping component 250 in a similar manner. The length and shape of the lever 262 are calculated to ensure that when the button 263 is pressed, sufficient force can be generated to drive the clamping component 250 to move. The user can simply press the button 263 to release the ejector 220, and the operation process is intuitive and easy to master.

[0029] In another embodiment of the utility model, the clamping component 250 includes a limiting rod 251 and a clamping edge 252. The clamping edge 252 is sleeved on the limiting rod 251. One end of the limiting rod 251 is connected to the lever 262. The clamping edge 252 slides up and down along the inner side wall in the clearance groove 270. A contact block 280 is provided on the side wall of the ejection cylinder 210. The limiting rod 251 passes through the contact block 280 and extends into the clearance groove 270, and the contact block 280 abuts against the clamping edge 252. One end of the contact block 280 is connected to the second spring 290, and the other end of the second spring 290 is connected to the clamping edge 252 to realize the reset movement of the limiting rod 251. Specifically, the limiting rod 251 is the main part of the clamping component 250, and it has a relatively high hardness and is used to extend into the clearance groove 270 to limit the ejection of the ejector 220. The clamping edge 252 is an annular or U-shaped part that is sleeved on the limiting rod 251 and can slide freely on the limiting rod 251. It can be well constrained in the clearance groove 270 to prevent the limiting rod 251 from being displaced. The main function of the contact block 280 is to limit the sliding range of the clamping edge 252 to prevent the clamping edge 252 from moving excessively during the ejection process and detaching from the limiting rod 251. At the same time, the contact block 280 also generates a certain abutting force with the clamping edge 252 to help maintain the stable position of the clamping edge 252 in the clearance groove 270. And relying on the elastic limit of the second spring 290, no matter whether the button 263 holds down the lever 262, the limiting rod 251 can always maintain a downward reset elastic force.

[0030] In another embodiment of the utility model, the left end of the upper part of the ejector 220 is higher than its right end and is in an inclined state. The clearance groove 270 is located between the upper parts of the ejector 220. When considering the retraction of the ejector 220 when it pops out, the inclined edge provided on the upper part of the ejector 220 can play a guiding role, so that the limiting rod 251 can be guided along the inclined edge into the clearance groove 270 when the ejector 220 retracts, which is convenient for storage and retraction to the initial position.

[0031] In another embodiment of the utility model, a separate second cavity 300 is further provided inside the body 100, and an audio player 310 for playing audio is provided inside the second cavity 300. The audio player 310 includes a player body 320 and a support structure 330. Both the left and right ends of the player body 320 are connected to two groups of symmetrically arranged support structures 330 for limiting the player body 320. The support structure 330 is respectively provided with two first support members 340 and two second support members 350. The body 100 of the first support member 340 abuts against the side end of the audio player 310, and the body 100 of the first support member 340 is bent outward to form a first bending portion 360, and the first bending portion 360 abuts against the upper end of the audio player 310 to clamp the upper end of the audio player 310; the second support member 350 abuts against the side end of the audio player 310, and the body 100 of the second support member 350 is bent outward to form a second bending portion 370, and the second bending portion 370 abuts against the lower end of the audio player 310 to clamp the lower end of the audio player 310. Specifically, the body part of the first support member 340 closely abuts against the left or right edge of the audio player 310. The body part of the first support member 340 is bent outward to form a first bending portion 360, and the bending portion extends upward to abut against the upper end surface of the audio player 310, so as to clamp the player body 100 from the upper end and provide stable support in the vertical direction. Similar to the first support member 340, but at a lower position, it also abuts against the side end of the audio player 310. Its body 100 is bent outward to form a second bending portion 370, but this time the bending direction is downward, and it abuts against the lower end surface of the audio player 310 to achieve clamping at the lower end. In this way, the player body 320 is effectively supported at both the upper and lower ends, ensuring that it will not shift or produce noise due to vibration during playback. At the same time, materials are also saved. The abutting support at both the upper and lower ends can also be completed relying on the support structures 330 at the left and right ends, and the module is simplified.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
