[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides an air cannon toy that is easy to store, comprising a barrel 100, a pulling assembly 200, and a handle assembly 300. The barrel 100 is a structure with two through ends, and the opening size of one end of the barrel 100 is smaller than the opening size of the other end. The pulling assembly 200 is provided separately from the barrel 100, and the handle assembly 300 is detachably fixed to the barrel 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the air cannon toy may include only the barrel 100.

[0029] The barrel 100 comprises a plurality of sequentially connected shells, with any two adjacent shells being detachably connected via a splicing structure. In this embodiment, the plurality of shells comprises a first shell 110, a second shell 120, and a third shell 130, with the third shell 130 connected between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120. In other embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of shells may comprise only a first shell 110 and a second shell 120, and accordingly, the number of third shells 130 may be two or more.

[0030] The larger open end of the first shell 110 serves as the larger open end of the barrel 100. A protruding wall edge 111 is provided on the outer periphery of the larger open end of the first shell 110. This wall edge 111 is used to securely engage the external movable cover 500. It is understood that the movable cover 500 can be secured to the wall edge 111 via an elastic band, allowing the movable cover 500 to be relatively securely attached to the larger open end of the barrel 100 through the restraint of the elastic band and the restriction of the wall edge 111. In this embodiment, the first shell 110 is further provided with a snap-fit ​​opening 112 for detachably attaching the first aiming plate of the first aiming device 400. In other embodiments of the present invention, the snap-fit ​​opening 112 may not be provided on the first shell 110.

[0031] The smaller open end of the second shell 120 serves as the smaller open end of the cylindrical body 100. A connecting portion 121 is provided on the inner wall of the smaller open end of the second shell 120. This connecting portion 121 is used to secure an external elastic cord 600. The elastic cord 600 is connected to the pulling assembly 200 and provides elastic force for reverse movement and reset of the pulling assembly 200, thereby achieving automatic reset of the pulling assembly 200. To facilitate secure connection of the elastic cord 600 within the connecting portion 121, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 121 is configured as a connecting cavity with two through-holes. The opening of the connecting cavity, located outside the second shell 120, is opened and closed by a fixing cover 122. To connect or remove the elastic cord 600 within the connecting portion 121, the fixing cover 122 can be opened to open the connecting portion 121 for the corresponding connection and removal operations. The fixing cover 122 can then be reattached to the connecting portion 121. In other embodiments of the present invention, the second housing 120 may not be provided with the fixing cover 122, and the connecting portion 121 may be configured as a fixing ring or other structure that can be fixedly connected to the elastic cord 600. Accordingly, the second housing 120 may not be provided with the connecting portion 121, in which case the pulling assembly 200 needs to be manually moved to achieve reset.

[0032] It is understood that an access block 123 is further provided on the outer wall of the second housing 120. The access block 123 is used to detachably connect an external aiming device. In this embodiment, the access block 123 is used to detachably connect the second aiming plate of the first aiming device 400. The access block 123 needs to be in the same straight line as the buckle opening 112 to facilitate the normal use of the first aiming device 400. In other embodiments provided by the present invention, such as Figure 6 In the second embodiment shown, the access block 123 can also be used to detachably connect a second aiming device 700 , which is an infrared sight.

[0033] The splicing structure includes a snap-on plate 141 and a snap-on slot 142. The snap-on plate 141 and snap-on slot 142 are disposed between two adjacent housings (e.g., the first housing 110 and the third housing 130, or the second housing 120 and the third housing 130). Both the snap-on plate 141 and the snap-on slot 142 are circumferentially disposed at the ends of the corresponding housings. In this embodiment, the other end of the first housing 110 is circumferentially provided with multiple snap-on slots 142, the other end of the second housing 110 is circumferentially provided with multiple snap-on plates 141, and one end of the third housing 130 is circumferentially provided with multiple snap-on plates 141 and the other end is circumferentially provided with multiple snap-on slots 142. In other embodiments of the present invention, the distribution of the snap-on plates 141 and the snap-on slots 142 can also be adaptively adjusted based on the configuration requirements of different housings.

[0034] It is understood that the extended length of the engaging groove 142 is less than the extended length of the engaging plate 141, and the distance between any two adjacent engaging grooves 142 is equal to (or greater than) the extended length of the engaging plate 141. This arrangement allows any engaging plate 141 to be inserted between two adjacent engaging grooves 142, and by relatively rotating the two adjacent housings, the engaging plate 141 can be rotated and engaged within the engaging groove 142 to secure the two housings, or rotated away from the engaging groove 142 to separate the two housings.

[0035] In order to increase the relative tightness of the connection between the clamping plate 141 and the clamping slot 142, a positioning groove 1411 and a positioning protrusion 1421 are respectively provided between the two opposing side walls of the clamping plate 141 and the clamping slot 142. In this embodiment, the positioning groove 1411 is located on the clamping plate 141, and the positioning protrusion 1421 is located on the bottom wall of the clamping slot 142. The positioning protrusion 1421 can be separably fitted into the positioning groove 1411. Specifically, when the clamping plate 141 is rotated until it is fully engaged with the clamping slot 142, the positioning groove 1411 and the positioning protrusion 1421 are fixed in a concave-convex manner. When the clamping plate 141 rotates in the opposite direction to separate from the clamping slot 142, the edges of the positioning groove 1411 and the positioning protrusion 1421 are smooth. As the external force applied to the clamping plate 141 increases, the positioning groove 1411 and the positioning protrusion 1421 separate, allowing the clamping plate 141 to be released from the clamping slot 142. In other embodiments of the present invention, the positioning groove 1411 and the positioning protrusion 1421 may not be provided between the clamping plate 141 and the clamping slot 142.

[0036] In this embodiment, a protrusion 143 is further provided on one end of the first housing 110 and the third housing 130. A plurality of engaging grooves 142 are spaced apart on the exterior of the protrusion 143. The protrusion 143 can be received within the adjacent housing, thereby improving the sealing between the two adjacent housings and also providing a positioning connection. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first housing 110 and the third housing 130 may not be provided with the protrusion 143.

[0037] In order to detachably connect the handle assembly 300 to the barrel 100, in this embodiment, the barrel 100 is provided with a plurality of first strip-shaped holes 151 that can be plugged into and mate with the handle assembly 300. The first strip-shaped holes 151 are distributed on the first shell 110 and the second shell 120. The inner wall of the barrel 100 is also provided with a clamping bar 152 outside the first strip-shaped holes 151 to increase the flatness of the inner wall of the barrel 100, so that the connector of the handle assembly 300 can be clamped and fixed to the interior of the barrel 100 via the clamping bar 152. In other embodiments of the present invention, the barrel 100 can also be provided with threaded holes, in which case the clamping bar 152 is not required on the inner wall of the barrel 100.

[0038] The pulling assembly 200 is used to facilitate the player to pull the cover body of the movable cover 500 to move. It can be understood that the movable cover 500 is made of a flexible and movable material, such as a film, rubber, etc. The movable cover 500 is used to reciprocate to suck air into the cylinder 100 or squeeze the air out of the cylinder 100. The pulling assembly 200 includes a fixing member 210 and a hand-pull member 220. The fixing member 210 and the hand-pull member 220 are detachably fixed to both sides of the cover body of the movable cover 500.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fixing member 210 is provided with a threaded column 211 and a perforated ring 212 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the hand pull member 220 is provided with a threaded groove 221 and a hand pull rod 222 that are arranged opposite to each other. The threaded column 211 passes through the movable cover 500 and can be threadedly connected to the threaded groove 221, so as to clamp the movable cover 500 between the fixing member 210 and the hand pull member 220. The perforated ring 212 is located inside the cylinder 100 for connecting the elastic cord 600, and the hand pull rod 222 is located outside the cylinder 100 for the player to hold and move the pulling assembly 200. In other embodiments of the present invention, other connection methods can be used to achieve a detachable connection between the fixing member 210 and the hand pull member 220, for example, replacing the threaded column 211 and the threaded groove 221 with a structure embedded with magnets of opposite magnetic properties, or replacing them with a column and groove structure that can be matched with each other.

[0040] The handle assembly 300 is used to facilitate the player's grip on the barrel 100. The handle assembly 300 includes a handle member 310 and a connector 320. The handle member 310 includes a fixing plate 311 adapted to the outer wall of the barrel 100 and a handle 312 vertically fixed to the fixing plate 311. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 311 is provided with a second strip hole 3111 at a position corresponding to the first strip hole 151. The shape of the second strip hole 3111 is the same or substantially the same as the shape of the first strip hole 151. The connector 320 is provided with a T-bar 321. The T-bar 321 can pass through the second strip hole 3111 and the first strip hole 151 in sequence. When the connector 320 is rotated so that the T-bar 321 contacts and engages with the engaging horizontal bar 152, the connector 320 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 311 and the barrel 100. It is understood that when the connector 320 is rotated in the opposite direction to separate the T-bar 321 from the engaging horizontal bar 152, the connector 320 can be dragged to separate from the first strip hole 151 and the second connecting hole 3111, thereby allowing the fixing plate 311 to be detached from the barrel 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the connector 320 can be provided with a threaded rod, and the corresponding first strip hole 151 is provided with an internal thread, and the threaded connection between the two can also achieve a detachable connection between the handle assembly 300 and the housing 100.

[0041] The first aiming device 400 is used to assist the player in aiming at external projectiles, thereby improving the accuracy of the impact airflow. The first aiming device 400 includes a first aiming plate 410 and a second aiming plate 420. The first aiming plate 410 is removably snap-fitted to the snap opening 112. The second aiming plate 420 is provided with an access slot 421 that matches the shape of the access block 123. The access slot 421 can be slidably snapped into the access block 123, allowing the second aiming plate 420 to be removably connected to the access block 123.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various changes and modifications.
