Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of simulation toy technology, specifically to a launching structure for a simulation rocket launcher. Background Technology

[0002] As China's military strength continues to grow and its military capabilities continue to improve, a number of military enthusiasts have emerged across the country, and many military simulation bases have sprung up in various places, mainly for family trips or hobbies.

[0003] Water rockets, also known as pneumatic water-jet rockets or water-propelled rockets, work by injecting gas into a sealed rocket body filled with water. As the gas pressure inside the rocket body increases, it bursts open the stopper at the bottom of the bottle, causing water to spray out rapidly and giving the rocket body an upward thrust. The rocket body rises and is launched like a rocket, hence the name water rocket. Based on the principle of water rockets, simulation teaching aids such as rocket launchers, mortars, and artillery can be made.

[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN201920014479.2 discloses a trigger device for a simulated rocket launcher, including a hollow cylindrical body. The outer wall of the cylindrical body is provided with a fixed seat for the rotation of a trigger. The trigger is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylindrical body, and the rotation of the trigger is limited by the outer wall of the cylindrical body. The fixed seat is provided with a hole for the reciprocating motion of a push rod. One end of the push rod abuts against the trigger and is linked, while the other end extends into the cylindrical body through a groove. The push rod reciprocates within the cylindrical body through the rotation of the trigger. This utility model utilizes a hollow cylindrical body structure combined with the launch method of a water rocket to create a trigger structure. By linking the trigger with the push rod, it perfectly simulates the launch of a rocket launcher, adding a sense of realism to ordinary models.

[0005] However, the trigger structure in this patent is too abrupt, making the rocket launcher's appearance unrealistic. Furthermore, in this patent and some existing simulated rocket launchers, the launcher requires pushing a lever with a trigger to activate a paddle and launch the water rocket. However, most users of simulated rocket launchers are elementary and middle school students. Using a trigger to actively push the lever would increase the force required to pull the trigger, potentially causing problems such as the inability to pull the trigger, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a launch structure for a simulated rocket launcher. This application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The device includes a cylindrical body, a launching base disposed at the tail of the cylindrical body, and a rear grip disposed on the side of the cylindrical body. A push rod is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the cylindrical body, and a trigger structure is disposed on the rear grip. One end of the push rod is engaged and locked with the trigger structure. An excitation spring is disposed between the push rod and the rear grip to push the push rod toward the launching base. The trigger structure includes a trigger for releasing the locked push rod.

[0008] The push rod has a slot at one end that engages with the trigger structure. The trigger structure also includes a locking block and a limiting block mounted on the rear grip with a pin. The locking block includes a hook that engages with the slot and a stop part that abuts against the limiting block to prevent the locking block from rotating. The limiting block includes a support rod and a lever. The support rod abuts against the stop part. The trigger pin is mounted on the rear grip, close to the lever, and is used to push the lever to rotate so that the support rod moves away from the stop part.

[0009] The latch also includes a reset part, which is used to be pushed and rotated by the push rod to make the hook part hook with the latch groove. The trigger structure also includes a limiting spring for pushing the reset part toward the push rod, a limiting post for limiting the rotation angle of the reset part, and a reset spring for pushing the lever toward the trigger.

[0010] An end cap is provided on the side of the cylinder, and the push rod is slidably installed inside the end cap; a safety rod is fixedly connected to the side of the push rod, and an elongated groove for the safety rod to move is provided on the side of the end cap, and a locking groove for engaging the safety rod is provided on one side of the elongated groove.

[0011] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] A spring is activated to push the push rod, which engages and locks with the trigger mechanism. When the trigger mechanism is released from the push rod, the elastic force of the spring pushes the push rod against the launch base, causing the launch base to fire water cannon bullets. No force needs to be applied to the push rod with the trigger. Furthermore, the interconnected design of the trigger, locking block, and limiting block allows for firing with minimal force, making it easy for children to operate. Simultaneously, the limiting spring and return spring apply force to the locking block and limiting block, enabling automatic locking of the push rod for repeated use. The locking block and limiting block are compact and can be hidden inside the rear grip. The exposed part of the trigger is identical to that of a rocket launcher trigger, making its appearance more similar to a real rocket launcher.

[0013] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The image shows a launch structure for a simulated rocket launcher provided by this utility model;

[0023] The device includes a cylinder 1, a launch base 11 located at the tail of the cylinder 1, and a rear grip 2 located on the side of the cylinder 1. A push rod 3 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the cylinder 1, and a trigger structure 4 is mounted on the rear grip 2. One end of the push rod 3 is engaged and locked with the trigger structure 4. An excitation spring 31 is provided between the push rod 3 and the rear grip 2 to push the push rod 3 toward the launch base 11. The trigger structure 4 includes a trigger 41 for releasing the locked push rod 3.

[0024] The push rod 3 is locked to the trigger structure 4 at one end with a slot 32. The trigger structure 4 also includes a locking block 42 and a limiting block 43 mounted on the rear grip 2 with a pin. The locking block 42 includes a hook part 421 that engages with the slot 32 and a stop part 422 that abuts against the limiting block 43 to prevent the locking block 42 from rotating. The limiting block 43 includes a support rod 431 and a lever 432. The support rod 431 abuts against the stop part 422. The trigger 41 is mounted on the rear grip 2 with a pin close to the lever 432 and is used to push the lever 432 to rotate so that the support rod 431 moves away from the stop part 422.

[0025] The locking block 42 also includes a reset part 423, which is used to be pushed and rotated by the push rod 3 to make the hook part 421 hook with the slot 32. The trigger structure 4 also includes a limiting spring 424 for pushing the reset part 423 toward the push rod 3, a limiting post 425 for limiting the rotation angle of the reset part 423, and a reset spring 433 for pushing the lever 432 toward the trigger 41. The limiting spring 424 and the reset spring 433 are both installed in the slots reserved in the rear seat 2. The limiting post 425 is fixed on the rear seat 2 and located on the side of the reset part 423 away from the limiting spring 424. It is used to abut against the limiting reset block 423 after the limiting spring 424 pushes the reset part 423 to rotate the locking block 42, so that when the push rod 3 is pushed to reset, the end of the push rod 3 does not contact the hook part 421 but directly abuts against the reset block 423.

[0026] An end cap 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the cylinder 1, and a push rod 3 is slidably installed inside the end cap 33. Specifically, an installation plate is provided inside the end cap 33, and a through hole is opened on the installation plate. The push rod 3 passes through the through hole and can move axially along the through hole. A safety rod 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the push rod 3. A long groove 331 for the safety rod 34 to move is provided on the side of the end cap 33, and a locking groove 332 for engaging the safety rod 34 is provided on one side of the long groove 331.

[0027] Furthermore, a certain distance is provided between the push rod 3 and the launch base 11, so that when the push rod 3 is pushed towards the launch base 11 by the excitation spring 31, there is enough distance to increase the speed. That is, while the push rod 3 has enough impact force to trigger the launch base 11, the elastic force of the excitation spring 31 is smaller, which makes it easier to reset the push rod 3.

[0028] It is worth noting that the launch base 11 in this application adopts existing technology, such as the launch base in the trigger device of a simulated rocket launcher disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN201920014479.2. The difference is that in that application, the launch is achieved by pushing the lever to move the lever, while in this application, the launch is achieved by the lever striking the lever. The structure and working method of the launch base are the same, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In practice, the user pulls the trigger 41, which rotates around the pivot to push the lever 432, causing the support rod 431 to move away from the stop part 422 and not to abut against the stop part 433. At this time, the locking block 42 is not limited and can rotate around the pivot. Under the elastic force of the excitation spring 31, the push rod 3 moves towards the launching base 11, while the hook part 421 is driven to rotate and cannot hook and lock the push rod 3. Under the action of the elastic force, the push rod 3 hits the launching base 11, causing the water cannon bullet to be launched. After the launch is completed, the user... Pushing the push rod 3 towards the rear grip 2 via the safety bar 34 along the long groove 331, the end of the push rod 3 abuts against the reset part 423, pushing the locking block 3 to rotate, causing the hook part 421 to rotate and hook into the slot 32. Meanwhile, the lever 432 of the limiting block 43 is pushed by the reset spring 433, causing the support rod 431 to approach the stop part 422 and abut against it. At this time, the locking block 3 is limited and cannot rotate, and the hook part 421 hooks and locks the push rod 3. Pulling the trigger 41 again will release the locking of the hook part 421 on the push rod 3.

[0030] After completing the reset operation, the user can also rotate the safety lever 34 and push it into the locking groove 333 for safety. At this time, even if the trigger 41 is pulled, the spring 31 cannot push the push rod 3 because the safety lever 34 is locked in the locking groove 333; that is, the water cannon cannot be fired. When it is necessary to fire the water cannon, the safety lever 34 must be rotated back into the long groove 331.

[0031] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application.
