Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bullet collection technology, and in particular to a bullet recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Bullets fired from various firearms possess certain characteristics specific to that firearm. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for identifying which gun fired the bullet in a shooting incident. This is especially true after gun control regulations were implemented, reducing the number of guns in circulation and narrowing the scope of gun-related incidents to legally registered firearms. However, due to deteriorating security conditions, police and armed police are often required to carry firearms to handle emergencies. This increased armament makes it more difficult to pinpoint the exact gun that fired the bullet. Particularly in criminal cases involving stolen firearms, determining which stolen weapon was used often relies on bullets found at the scene. This necessitates maintaining a file for each legally registered firearm, recording the common and unique characteristics of its bullets. This information is essential for identifying the source of the bullet if found at the scene. Therefore, providing this information to police, armed police, and other legally registered firearms is crucial.

[0003] Before each use of a firearm or after a period of use, the characteristics of the bullets fired by that firearm must be recorded. In order to obtain the common and unique characteristics of the bullets fired by a particular firearm, it is required that the firearm fire multiple rounds continuously, and the bullets should be kept as intact as possible, so as to preserve the most complete bullets possible.

[0004] Collect as many characteristics of bullets fired from as many firearms as possible, and record all of them.

[0005] Currently, bullet collection utilizes water tanks, using the water's damping effect to stop the bullets while preserving their characteristics to the greatest extent possible. Once fired, the bullets remain in the water tank, requiring the water to be drained before they can be retrieved, which is extremely cumbersome and affects both the firing efficiency of the firearm and the efficiency of bullet collection. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by designing a bullet recovery device, which solves the problem of difficulty in quickly collecting bullets after they have been fired.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to achieve the above objectives is a bullet recovery device, comprising:

[0008] A protective cover, wherein the protective cover is inclined, the upper part of the protective cover near the lower end has an inlet, and the bottom part of the protective cover near the upper end has an outlet;

[0009] A conveying mechanism is disposed inside the protective cover and extends from the entrance to the exit. The conveying mechanism includes a plurality of rotatable and circulating recovery plates, which are bent to form limiting grooves for accommodating bullets.

[0010] Preferably, the protective cover is provided with brackets on both sides, the conveying mechanism is installed between the two brackets, and the protective cover is fixedly installed on the brackets.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism further includes a motor, sprockets, and a chain. Each end of the bracket is provided with a rotating shaft. There are two sprockets, which are fixedly installed on the two rotating shafts respectively. The output end of the motor is driven and connected to the rotating shaft on the bracket near the outlet. Both ends of the chain are respectively engaged with the two sprockets.

[0012] Preferably, the recycling plate includes a base plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are vertically connected to both sides of the base plate and cooperate to form the limiting groove. The recycling plate is evenly distributed in a ring on the chain, and the base plate is fixed on the chain.

[0013] Preferably, the base plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate have multiple drainage holes.

[0014] Preferably, the first side plate is bent toward the direction of the second side plate.

[0015] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the outlet, and the baffle is inclined.

[0016] Its advantages over existing technologies are:

[0017] This invention allows bullets to enter the protective shield through the inlet and then be transported diagonally upwards via an angled conveyor. Specifically, several collection plates within the conveyor rotate in a cycle, transporting bullets onto these plates. Once the bullets reach the top of the conveyor, they automatically fall down, thus completing the collection of bullets without spilling water from the tank. This allows for rapid collection of bullets for the corresponding firearms, thereby improving both bullet collection efficiency and firearm firing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this utility model proposes a bullet recovery device, which is mainly used in a bullet collector for bullet recovery. It mainly includes a protective cover 1 and a conveying mechanism 2, which is used to recover and convey bullets from the bullet collector.

[0028] The conveying mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the protective cover and is covered by the protective cover 1. A bracket 3 is provided on each side of the protective cover 1. The conveying mechanism 2 is located between the two brackets 3 and is installed on the brackets 3. The protective cover 1 is fixedly connected to the two brackets 3.

[0029] Both the protective shield 1 and the conveying mechanism 2 are inclined. The upper part of the protective shield 1 near the lower end has an inlet 101 so that the bullets being fired can enter the conveying mechanism 2 through the inlet 101. The bottom of the upper part of the protective shield 1 has an outlet 102 so that the conveying mechanism 2 can convey the bullets to the upper end and then exit from the outlet 102.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure when the front shell of the protective cover in the bullet recovery device is removed. Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the protective cover is removed in the bullet recovery device.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 2 mainly consists of a chain 22, a motor 26, two sprockets 21, and several recovery plates 23. A rotating shaft 27 is installed between each end of one of the two supports 3, and the rotating shafts 27 are rotatably connected to the supports 3. The two sprockets 21 are fixedly mounted on the two rotating shafts 27 respectively. Both ends of the chain 22 mesh with the two sprockets 21 respectively. By driving one of the sprockets 21 to rotate, the chain 22 is driven to rotate. The chain 22 extends from the inlet 101 of the protective cover 1 to the outlet 102.

[0032] A fixed base 24 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the bracket 3. The output end of the motor 26 is connected to the gearbox 25 for transmission. The gearbox 25 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 24. The output end of the gearbox 25 is connected to the rotating shaft 27 at the upper end of the bracket 3 through a coupling. The rotating shaft 27 is driven to rotate by the motor 26, thereby driving the sprocket 21 and the chain 22 to rotate.

[0033] Several recovery plates 23 are evenly distributed along the outer periphery of the chain 22. Driven by the chain 22, the recovery plates 23 rotate and circulate, continuously conveying bullets to the outside of the bullet collector.

[0034] refer to Figure 5 The recovery plate 23 consists of a base plate 231, a first side plate 232, and a second side plate 233. The first side plate 232 and the second side plate 233 are perpendicular to the base plate 231 and are integrally connected to both sides of the base plate 231. The entire recovery plate 23 is formed by bending a single piece of plate, and its overall shape is U-shaped, with a limiting groove in the middle for accommodating bullets.

[0035] The opening of the recovery plate 23 located on the upper side of the chain 22 faces upwards, so that the bullets will not fall out of the limiting groove. Several recovery plates 23 are rotated and conveyed together with the chain 22. When the recovery plate 23 containing bullets is rotated and conveyed to the lower side of the chain 22, the opening of the recovery plate 23 will gradually face downwards, so that the bullets in the limiting groove will fall out and fall out from the outlet 102 of the protective cover 1, thereby conveying the bullets out of the inside of the bullet collector.

[0036] A baffle 4 is installed at the outlet 102 at the bottom of the protective cover 1. The baffle 4 is inclined and is used to load bullets, which are then manually removed. The protective cover 1 also has a drainage hole 230 to allow water to leak out.

[0037] Preferably, the length of the first side plate 232 is greater than the length of the second side plate 233, and the first side plate 232 is bent at a certain angle toward the direction of the second side plate 233. This allows the recovery plate 23 to scoop bullets falling from the inlet 101 of the protective cover 1 into the limiting groove during the rotational conveying process. The second side plate 233 is also bent at a certain angle so that when the opening of the recovery plate 23 faces downward, the bullets can fall out along the second side plate 233.

[0038] The first side plate 232, the bottom plate 231, and the second side plate 233 have a plurality of drainage holes 230. Each drainage hole 230 is individually provided on each plate, or it can extend from one plate to another. The shape of the drainage holes 230 is not specifically limited. Because the ammunition collector contains a large amount of water, during the rotational conveying process of the recovery plate 23, water will leak out through the drainage holes 230, preventing the water inside the ammunition collector from being conveyed out.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the recovery plate 23 in Embodiment 2 is slightly different from that in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the recovery plate 23 also has a sealing plate 234 at both ends. The sealing plate 234 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 232, the second side plate 233 and the bottom plate 231, which closes the two ends of the limiting groove. The collected bullets will not flow out from the two ends of the limiting groove, which helps to collect the bullets.

[0041] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
