Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of target shooting toy technology, specifically a toy target shooting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Target shooting toys use fixed target positions or simple rotating target designs. The target is mostly static or moves in one direction. The reset mechanism generally relies on springs or manual operation. After the target is knocked down, it needs to be manually lifted or reset by an exposed spring. Electric target shooting toys are also included, which can automatically reset the target after being hit by electric drive.

[0003] In the prior art, a bead launching mechanism for a toy shooting machine, disclosed in patent publication number "CN219963934U", includes a frame and a launching cylinder. The launching cylinder is rotatably mounted on the frame via a vertical pivot. A launching cavity is formed inside the launching cylinder, with the front end of the cavity serving as the launching port. A push rod is movably mounted on the launching cylinder, with its front end located within the launching cavity and its rear end connected to a pressing head protruding from the rear end of the launching cylinder. Horizontal handles extending laterally are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the launching cylinder. A bead guide column is fixedly connected above the launching cylinder. The upper part of the bead guide column is a bead storage box. The interior of the bead storage box forms a bead storage chamber. A hollow bead guide channel is formed in the middle of the bead guide column, with its lower end connecting to the launching cavity and its upper end connecting to the bead storage chamber. This invention facilitates a powerful forward pressing motion of the finger, resulting in a large launching force and relatively accurate aiming.

[0004] However, the existing technology still has significant shortcomings. Most of the target reset mechanisms in traditional shooting toys use electric drive, which requires additional power modules and control circuits, leading to increased overall costs. In addition, there is a significant response delay. Furthermore, the motor is prone to overheating and damage under frequent start-stop conditions, reducing the toy's lifespan. When jamming occurs, specialized tools are required for disassembly. Shooting toys suffer from high energy consumption and susceptibility to failure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toy shooting mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a toy target shooting mechanism, comprising a housing, with guide rails fixed at the inner edges of the housing, a movable platform slidably connected to the top surface of the guide rails, a target center located near both ends of the movable platform, a movable joint connected to the end of the target center, and the cylindrical rotating head of the movable joint rotatably connected to the connecting column of the movable platform, a reset connecting rod connected to the bottom surface of the movable joint, a reset switch located at the mounting position on the top surface of the guide rails, the reset switch comprising a housing and a reset lever, and a heightening pad fixed to the bottom surface of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, a transparent cover is fitted onto the top of the outer shell, a background plate is provided inside the outer shell, and the target is located at the opening on the top surface of the background plate. A launcher is installed on the top surface of the outer shell.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the active platform is provided with an array of toothed openings, and transmission gears are respectively installed inside the outer shell. The transmission gears are all located near the toothed openings, and the surfaces of the transmission gears mesh with the toothed openings.

[0009] Preferably, a gearbox is installed inside the housing, and an output gear is provided inside the gearbox, and the output gear meshes with the surfaces of an adjacent set of transmission gears.

[0010] Preferably, the moving area of ​​the top surface of the guide rail is located at the path of the straight movement of the target, and the reset lever is located within the moving area of ​​the top surface of the guide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the raised feet allow the center of the target to shift when the entire casing is tilted.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] When the target is knocked down by the marble, the cylindrical shaft at the movable joint rotates under the action of gravitational torque, causing the target to change from a vertical to a horizontal state. At this time, the reset linkage tilts to a preset angle. As the drive platform moves to the edge of the guide rail, the tilted reset linkage will gradually make contact with the reset lever fixed inside the reset switch. At the moment of contact, the reset lever applies a reaction force to the linkage. This force is converted into torque at the target shaft through the lever principle, overcoming the static friction of the shaft and causing the target to begin to reset. During the reset process, the raised feet tilt the toy as a whole, causing the target's center of gravity to shift, ensuring that the contact pressure between the reset linkage and the reset lever is stable within the range when lying flat. On the other hand, the gravitational component assists the target's rotation, making the reset action quick and smooth. Compared with the traditional electric reset device, the structure greatly reduces the cost, while the structure is simpler and more reliable. It retains the simplicity and reliability of the mechanical structure, can be precisely controlled during target reset, has a fast reset response speed, and greatly enhances the fun of the game.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] Example 1: A toy shooting mechanism: It includes a housing 11, with guide rails 1 fixed to the inner edges of the housing 11. A movable platform 2 is slidably connected to the top surface of the guide rails 1. Targets 3 are located near both ends of the movable platform 2. Movable connectors 4 are connected to the ends of the targets 3, and the cylindrical heads of the movable connectors 4 are rotatably connected to the connecting columns of the movable platform 2. A transparent cover 13 is fitted onto the top of the housing 11. A background plate 15 is located inside the housing 11, with the targets 3 located at the opening on the top surface of the background plate 15. A launcher 12 is mounted on the top surface of the housing 11. The toy is a shooting toy, where the launcher 12 is mainly used to launch marbles. The marbles are inserted into the launcher... Inside the device 12, by adjusting the direction of the launcher 12, the launcher is pulled to fire the marble, thus hitting the bullseye 3. During the entertainment, the moving platform 2 drives the bullseye 3 above to move horizontally in a straight line along the top surface of the track platform. The movement speed is set according to different levels to achieve the effect of passing levels. Different patterns can be attached to the background board 15 to enhance the aesthetics of the toy. The transparent cover 13 is made of transparent plastic material. After it is engaged with the outer shell 11 of the toy, the position of the bullseye 3 can be directly observed from the outside for hitting. After being hit, the marble slides down the background board 15 along the tilt direction of the toy to the exit at the front end and falls into the recycling chamber for reuse.

[0025] A reset link 6 is connected to the bottom surface of the movable joint 4. A reset switch 5 is provided at the mounting position on the top surface of the guide rail 1. The reset switch 5 includes a housing 51 and a reset lever 52. The moving area of ​​the top surface of the guide rail 1 is located along the linear movement path of the target 3, and the reset lever 52 is located within the moving area of ​​the top surface of the guide rail 1. A raising foot 14 is fixed to the bottom surface of the housing 11. The raising foot 14 allows the center of the target 3 to shift when the housing 11 is tilted. A movable joint for the target 3 is provided on the top surface of the guide rail 1. The moving area of ​​the target 3 is located within the linear movement path of the target 3, ensuring that the reset link 6 on the movable joint 4 is within the moving area when the target 3 moves with the movable platform 2. When the target 3 is knocked down by the ball, the cylindrical shaft at the movable joint 4 rotates under the action of gravitational torque, causing the target 3 to lie flat. When the target 3 moves to the edge of the guide rail 1 with the movable platform 2, the reset link 6 moves into the moving area of ​​the guide rail 1. The tilted reset link 6 will then interact with the fixed reset opening. The reset lever 52 inside the switch 5 makes progressive contact. At the moment of contact, the reset lever 52 applies a reaction force to the connecting rod. This force is converted into torque at the pivot of the target 3 through the lever principle, which overcomes the static friction of the pivot and causes the target 3 to begin resetting. During the resetting process, the raised foot 14 tilts the toy as a whole, causing the center of gravity of the target 3 to shift, ensuring that the contact pressure between the reset connecting rod 6 and the reset lever 52 is stable within the range when the toy is lying flat. On the other hand, the gravity component is used to assist the rotation of the target 3, so that the resetting action is completed quickly and smoothly. The automatic resetting of the target 3 is achieved by using the mechanical linkage principle. This process is completed entirely by gravity and the friction of the mechanism itself, without the need for additional electric drive, which reduces energy consumption and improves the reliability of the system. The design of the raised foot 14 adjusts the overall tilt angle of the toy to ensure that the target 3 can accurately trigger the resetting mechanism after being knocked down, making the resetting action smoother and more natural. The modular design of the entire mechanism facilitates maintenance. The reset switch 5 is composed of components such as the housing 51 and the reset lever 52.

[0026] The reset lever 52 can be made of conductive silicone composite material. When it contacts the reset link 6, it forms a pressure-sensitive circuit. After the target 3 is knocked down and moves to the position of the reset lever 52, the reset link 6 contacts the reset lever 52, and the reset lever 52 will undergo elastic deformation. As the pressure increases, the randomly distributed conductive particles inside the conductive silicone form a dense conductive path under the action of pressure, causing the volume resistivity to drop sharply from the normal state. At this time, the current can pass through the closed loop formed by the reset lever 52 and the housing 51. The control circuit detects the sudden change in the loop resistance value and generates a counting signal. After the pressure is released, the conductive particles return to the dispersed state and automatically cut off the circuit. The whole process does not require mechanical switch contacts. It achieves contactless signal triggering only through the piezoresistive characteristics of the material, which avoids mechanical wear. The reset switch 5 can also act as a counting component while acting as a reset structure, thereby realizing the counting of the target 3 being hit. Alternatively, a miniature infrared reflection sensor can be integrated at the root of the reset lever 52 to detect the displacement of the reset lever 52, thereby realizing the number of times the target 3 is hit.

[0027] The surface of the movable platform 2 is provided with an array of toothed openings 10. Inside the outer casing 11, transmission gears 9 are installed, all located near the toothed openings 10, and their surfaces mesh with the toothed openings 10. A gearbox 7 is installed inside the outer casing 11, containing an output gear 8 that meshes with an adjacent set of transmission gears 9. The movable platform 2 is fitted onto the top surface of the guide rail 1. The top surface of the movable platform 2 includes a straight groove for limiting movement. A limiting post can be added to the top surface of the guide rail 1, positioned within the straight groove. During the movement of the movable platform 2, the limiting post can limit its linear movement. The outer casing 11 also includes a power module for powering the toy's lights, sound effects, and motors. The gearbox 7 includes a motor and output gears 8, one set of which directly meshes with the adjacent toothed openings 10. The nearest transmission gear 9 meshes with the gear 8, while the toothed slot 10 on the movable platform 2 near the output gear 8 meshes with the adjacent transmission gear 9. There is also a transmission gear 9 between the two movable platforms 2, and the transmission gear 9 between the two movable platforms 2 meshes with the adjacent meshing slot. When the motor in the gearbox 7 is working, multiple movable platforms 2 can complete linear movement. It mainly utilizes the precise cooperation between the gear transmission and the array of toothed slots 10 on the movable platform 2 to realize the multi-level speed change movement function of the dynamic target 3. The motor in the gearbox 7 drives the output gear 8, which drives the movable platform 2 to slide linearly on the guide rail 1 through meshing with the transmission gear 9. The linkage between the movable platforms 2 is completed through the cooperation between the toothed slot 10 and the transmission gear 9. Compared with the traditional transmission structure, it not only runs smoothly and reliably, but also flexibly adjusts the movement speed of the target 3 according to the needs of different levels, greatly improving the playability and challenge of the game.

[0028] Working Principle: The target shooting toy consists of an outer shell 11, a launcher 12, and internal components such as a guide rail 1, a movable platform 2, and a target 3. The movable platform 2 is located on the top surface of the guide rail 1, which is located on both sides inside the outer shell 11. The movable platform 2 can slide linearly on the top surface of the guide rail 1, thus achieving the displacement of the target 3 during shooting. The speed of the target 3 varies depending on the level. A transmission gear 9 is located near the movable platform 2. The gearbox 7 includes a motor and an output gear 8. One set of gears in the output gear 8 directly meshes with the nearest transmission gear 9. The meshing groove on the movable platform 2 near the output gear 8 meshes with the adjacent transmission gear 9. A transmission gear 9 is also located between two movable platforms 2, and the transmission distance between the two movable platforms 2 meshes with the adjacent meshing groove. When the motor in the gearbox 7 operates, multiple movable platforms 2 can move linearly, allowing the target 3 to move. The movable joint 4 is connected to the movable platform 2 at the joint. After the ball launched by the launcher 12 knocks down the target 3, the target 3 is in a flat state. As the movable platform 2 moves, the flat target 3 moves to the outermost guide rail 1. At this point, the reset link 6 on the movable joint 4 is tilted, so that the movable link contacts the reset lever 52 of the reset switch 5. After the target 3 is knocked flat, it quickly contacts the reset lever 52. Through the force of the target 3 quickly contacting the reset lever 52, the target 3 can automatically return to its original position. The rotating part of the movable joint 4 is a rotating cylindrical joint. There are no other parts, only a rotating shaft. It stands up or lies flat by its own weight and the friction of the connecting part. The raised foot 14 is only used to tilt the toy, so that the target 3 can quickly and smoothly return to its original position after being knocked flat and contacting the reset lever 52. The raised foot 14 is to make the reset smoother.
