Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy guns, specifically to a novel sponge soft bullet toy launcher with a folding structure. Background Technology
[0002] A sponge bullet toy launcher is a toy gun specifically designed to fire sponge bullets. These toy guns fire soft bullets made of sponge material, are generally considered safe, and are suitable for children. Their design is based on engineering principles, such as using a spring-loaded mechanism to fire bullets continuously. When the operator pulls the handle and fires the trigger, the plunger moves and compresses the spring. The released spring energy then pushes the plunger upwards, compressing air and launching the sponge bullet.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional sponge soft bullet toy launchers typically install the launching component at the rear of the launcher. These launchers usually use large springs or cylinders. Launchers made with large springs often have relatively low power, resulting in a poor user experience. While launchers made with cylinders can provide sufficient power, pulling back the stock to compress the cylinder is laborious, and the cylinder also makes the entire launcher bulky, reducing production efficiency and increasing costs. Ultimately, the user experience remains unsatisfactory. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel mid-folding structure sponge soft bullet toy launcher, including a launch tube 1, a stock 2, and a grip 3. The end of the launch tube 1 is engaged with the stock 2, and the bottom of the end of the launch tube 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the grip 3. The stock 2 and the grip 3 are integrally formed, with the stock 2 located at the top of the grip 3. The grip 3 contains a cylinder assembly 31 and a launch trigger assembly 32. A lever link 11 is also provided between the launch tube 1 and the grip 3. One end of the lever link 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom pivot pin of the launch tube 1, and the other end of the lever link 11 is drivenly connected to the cylinder assembly 31. A launch switch 12 is also provided at the bottom of the end of the launch tube 1, and the launch switch 12 is movably connected to the launch trigger assembly 32. The launch tube 1 also contains a launch trajectory, and the cylinder assembly 31 is connected to the launch trajectory. In this embodiment, the launching tube can rotate to compress the cylinder assembly and store energy through the lever linkage. The launching switch can release the stored energy of the cylinder assembly through the launching trigger assembly to drive the movement of the sponge soft bullet in the launching trajectory. The cylinder assembly is integrated into the grip of the toy launcher, reducing the overall size of the toy launcher. At the same time, by utilizing the lever principle, the compression and energy storage of the cylinder assembly can be easily completed. The push rod has been designed to avoid air gaps, which solves the structural problem of the release assembly and the lever conflicting with each other. The structure is simple, greatly improving the user experience and reducing production costs.
[0021] like Figures 1-3As shown, the cylinder assembly 31 includes a cylinder front end 311, an energy storage cylinder 312, and a piston assembly 313. The cylinder front end 311 is fixedly installed inside the top of the grip 3. The cylinder front end 311 is hollow inside and its two ends are respectively connected to the inside of the energy storage cylinder 312 and the firing trajectory. The piston assembly 313 is slidably connected to the energy storage cylinder 312 and cooperates with the energy storage cylinder 312. The piston assembly 313 is provided with an energy storage slot and a piston spring. The bottom of the lever connecting rod 11 is slidably connected to the energy storage slot. The bottom of the piston assembly 313 can be elastically engaged with the firing trigger assembly 32 through the piston spring. The piston assembly 313 also includes a piston rod 314 and a piston 315. The top of the piston rod 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston 315. The piston 315 is slidably connected to the energy storage cylinder 312. The energy storage slot is provided on the side of the piston 315. The piston spring is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 314. The two ends of the piston spring are respectively connected to the bottom of the piston 315 and the firing trigger assembly 313. The firing trigger assembly 32 abuts against the piston rod 314, which has a piston rod engaging groove at its bottom and a chamfered end. The piston rod 314 can engage with the firing trigger assembly 32 through the piston rod engaging groove. An O-ring is provided on the piston 315, which tightly abuts against the outer side of the piston 315 and the inner wall of the energy storage cylinder 312. A firing tube pin is also provided at the bottom of the firing tube 1, which connects the bottom of the firing tube 1 to the front end of the cylinder body. 311 Top rotation connection; the launch trigger assembly 32 includes a push rod 321 and a piston gantry rod 322. The push rod 321 is slidably connected inside the grip 3. The bottom of the launch switch 12 abuts against the top of the push rod 321. The bottom of the push rod 321 is provided with a slope. The bottom slope of the push rod 321 abuts against one end of the piston gantry rod 322. The piston gantry rod 322 is also provided with a through hole that cooperates with the piston rod 314. The piston gantry rod 322 is also engaged with the piston rod locking groove. In this embodiment, the launch tube rotates downward, pushing the lever linkage to drive the piston assembly downward to compress the piston spring until the bottom of the piston rod pushes open the through hole passing through the piston gantry rod. Under the action of the gantry rod spring, the piston gantry rod moves downward and locks into the piston rod locking groove, completing the compression and storage process of the energy storage cylinder. When the launch switch is pressed, the launch switch pushes the push rod downward, and the inclined surface of the push rod pushes the lower end face of the piston gantry rod upward, causing the piston gantry rod to move upward and separate from the piston rod locking groove. At this time, the compression of the piston spring is released, pushing the entire piston forward. The air in the energy storage cylinder is compressed forward rapidly, pushing the sponge soft bullet in the launch trajectory forward.
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, the grip 3 has a bottom cover, the bottom of the push rod 321 is fitted with a push rod spring, the bottom of the push rod spring abuts against the bottom cover, the piston gantry rod 322 is fitted with a gantry rod spring, the two ends of the gantry rod spring abut against the piston gantry rod 322 and the bottom cover respectively; the top of the end of the firing tube 1 is provided with a locking pin 13 and a locking pin hole, the locking pin 13 is slidably connected in the locking pin hole, and a locking pin spring is also provided between the locking pin 13 and the firing tube; the stock 2 is provided with a locking pin slot that cooperates with the locking pin; the stock 2 is also provided with an unlocking push block 21, the unlocking push block 21 is slidably connected in the locking pin slot and cooperates with the locking pin. In this embodiment, the inclined surface at the bottom of the push rod mates with the bottom surface of the piston gantry rod. The push rod spring acts on the push rod to return it to its initial position. The launch switch is assembled with the front end of the cylinder body. The launch switch can rotate a certain angle to complete the press-to-launch action. The push rod can move downward under the pressure of the launch switch. The inclined surface of the push rod acts on the bottom surface of the piston gantry rod, causing the piston gantry rod to move upward. At the same time, the gantry rod spring is compressed under the movement of the piston gantry rod. Similarly, the push rod spring is compressed under the downward movement of the push rod. When the pressure on the launch switch is released, the force of the push rod spring pushes the push rod upward back to its initial position. The inclined surface of the push rod loses its force on the bottom surface of the piston gantry rod. The reaction force of the gantry rod spring causes the piston gantry rod to return to its initial position. The upward movement of the push rod pushes the launch switch to its initial position.
[0023] As can be seen from the above, the present invention provides a novel mid-fold structure sponge soft bullet toy launcher. This launcher incorporates a cooperating launch tube, stock, and grip. The launch tube rotates to compress and store energy through a lever linkage, while the launch switch releases the stored energy through a launch trigger component, driving the sponge soft bullet's movement within the trajectory. Integrating the cylinder assembly into the toy launcher's grip reduces the overall size. Furthermore, utilizing the lever principle, the compression and energy storage of the cylinder assembly are easily achieved. The push rod is designed to avoid airflow, resolving the structural conflict between the release assembly and the lever. The simple structure significantly improves the user experience and reduces production costs, solving the problems of excessive size, laborious energy storage, and poor user experience associated with traditional sponge soft bullet toy launchers in the prior art.
