Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shooting toy technology, and in particular to a toy water gun and video shooting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional toy water guns mostly lack effective aiming devices, severely impacting shooting accuracy. The few products equipped with laser sights also have significant drawbacks: firstly, most are fixed and cannot be adjusted; secondly, adjustable laser sights generally use a circumferential set screw adjustment structure. In this adjustable structure, the laser sight is typically cylindrical, with a retaining ring at the front for support and multiple set screws in different directions at the rear. Adjustment requires repeatedly tightening and loosening these set screws to orient the laser sight correctly, making the process difficult and cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0003] One of the purposes of this invention is to provide a toy water gun with a conveniently adjustable laser sight.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a toy water bullet gun, comprising a gun body, a launching tube serving as a water bullet launching channel, and a laser sight. The gun body is provided with a mounting plate, and the laser sight is mounted on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the gun body via two adjusting rods, and a support spring is sleeved on each adjusting rod. The adjusting rods can adjust the relative position between the mounting plate and the gun body, causing the support spring to undergo elastic deformation, thereby forming elastic support for the mounting plate. The gun body is provided with a support protrusion, and the support protrusion and the support spring respectively abut against different positions on the same end face of the mounting plate, jointly forming support for the mounting plate.
[0005] Furthermore, the adjusting rod is a locking bolt threaded to the gun body or a screw rod fixedly connected to the gun body and equipped with a locking nut. By tightening the locking bolt or locking nut, the mounting plate can be driven to compress the support spring, so that the mounting plate simultaneously contacts the support spring and the support protrusion to form a three-point support.
[0006] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with a through hole for the adjusting rod to pass through, and a gap is left between the through hole and the adjusting rod, so that the mounting plate can deflect relative to the adjusting rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the gun body or mounting plate is equipped with a firing-linked flashing light, which is used to automatically flash when the water bullet is fired.
[0008] Furthermore, the inlet end of the launching tube is provided with a receiving position for receiving water bullets, the upper end of the gun body is provided with a water bullet supply chamber, and the bottom outlet of the water bullet supply chamber is connected to a bullet drop channel extending above the receiving position. The water bullets fall to the receiving position along the bullet drop channel by their own gravity.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the water bomb supply chamber is funnel-shaped, and the drop channel connected below it includes an upper cone-shaped section for collecting water bombs and a lower vertical guide section, which are used to guide the water bombs to the receiving position in an orderly manner.
[0010] Furthermore, the toy water gun also includes a firing trigger mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a projectile pushing assembly, and a pneumatic firing mechanism mounted on the gun body. The firing trigger mechanism includes a trigger, a touch switch, and a reduction motor that are linked in sequence. The transmission mechanism includes an incomplete gear that is coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the reduction motor. The end face of the incomplete gear is provided with an eccentric protrusion (i.e., a protruding structure that deviates from the axis of rotation). The incomplete gear is provided with a gear meshing part in the circumferential direction. The incomplete gear is configured to periodically drive the projectile pushing assembly through the eccentric protrusion on the end face to complete the transfer of the water bullet from the receiving position to the firing tube, and to periodically drive the pneumatic firing mechanism through the gear meshing part to complete gas compression and water bullet firing.
[0011] Furthermore, the projectile pushing assembly includes a sliding seat that can slide along the axial direction of the launch tube. The upper end of the sliding seat is provided with a hollow push rod coaxial with the launch tube. The hollow push rod is located behind the launch tube and closes the projectile drop channel outlet in the initial position. The lower end of the sliding seat is provided with a hook and the hook is connected to the gun body through a tension spring, so that the tension spring stores energy when the sliding seat moves backward. The lower rear end of the sliding seat is provided with a downwardly protruding drive protrusion, and the drive protrusion periodically contacts the eccentric protrusion.
[0012] When the incomplete gear rotates to the point where the eccentric protrusion contacts the drive protrusion, the drive protrusion can be pushed by the eccentric protrusion to drive the sliding seat to move backward, so that the tension spring is stretched. At the same time, the hollow push rod moves backward to open the outlet of the drop channel, allowing the water bullet to fall to the receiving position.
[0013] When the incomplete gear rotates to the point where the eccentric protrusion disengages from the drive protrusion, the tension spring can be released, pulling the sliding seat forward, causing the hollow push rod to move forward and close the outlet of the bullet drop channel, and pushing the water bullet from the receiving position into the launch tube, while docking with the inlet end of the launch tube to form a gas channel.
[0014] Furthermore, the pneumatic firing mechanism includes a guide sleeve fixed in the gun body and a piston rod slidably installed in the guide sleeve. The front end of the guide sleeve is closed and has a gas tube communicating with its inner cavity. The hollow push rod is slidably sleeved on the gas tube. The rear end of the piston rod is connected to the gun body through a compression spring, so that the compression spring stores energy when the piston rod moves backward. The rear end of the piston rod extends out of the guide sleeve and the lower end of the extended section is provided with a driving tooth. The driving tooth periodically meshes with the gear meshing part of an incomplete gear.
[0015] When the incomplete gear rotates to the gear meshing part and meshes with the drive teeth, the drive teeth can be driven by the incomplete gear to drive the piston rod to move backward and compress the compression spring.
[0016] When the incomplete gear rotates to the point where the gear meshing part disengages from the drive teeth, the compression spring can be released, pushing the piston rod forward and compressing the air in the guide sleeve. This compressed gas is transmitted to the launch tube through the air guide tube and the hollow push rod, propelling the water bullet forward.
[0017] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove are provided between the piston rod and the gun body to ensure that the piston rod moves axially along the guide sleeve.
[0018] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a video game shooting device, which includes the aforementioned toy water gun and a video game device body that works in conjunction with it.
[0019] This invention mounts a laser sight on a mounting plate connected to the gun body via two adjusting rods. By adjusting either adjusting rod, the relative position between the mounting plate and the gun body can be changed, causing the support spring on that rod to elastically deform. In this situation, the mounting plate will deflect around the line connecting the support spring on the other adjusting rod and the fulcrum of the support protrusion, thereby causing the laser sight to deflect and achieving angle adjustment. This allows for quick adjustment of the laser sight. This design not only simplifies the adjustment process and improves adjustment efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the laser sight during use through the elastic support of the support spring and the rigid support of the support protrusion.

[0044] To facilitate a clearer understanding of the concept of this utility model by those skilled in the art, it will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings. See also... Figure 1-10 .
[0045] This embodiment provides a toy water gun whose laser sight 3a's adjustment structure abandons the traditional circumferential set screw adjustment method. Instead, a mounting plate 3b is used to mount the laser sight 3a, and the orientation of the laser sight 3a is changed by adjusting the tilt angle of the mounting plate 3b, thus achieving the adjustment of the laser sight 3a. This novel adjustment structure not only solves the problem of cumbersome operation of the traditional set screw adjustment structure but also improves the stability of the laser sight 3a after adjustment.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the toy water gun of this embodiment includes a gun body 1, a launching tube 2 serving as the water bullet launching channel, and a laser sight 3a. A mounting plate 3b is provided on the gun body 1, and the laser sight 3a is mounted on the mounting plate 3b. The mounting plate 3b is connected to the gun body 1 via two adjusting rods. A support spring 3c (such as a compression spring) is fitted onto each adjusting rod. The adjusting rods can adjust the relative position between the mounting plate 3b and the gun body 1, causing the support spring 3c to compress and elastically deform, forming elastic support for the mounting plate 3b. A support protrusion 3d is provided on the gun body 1. The support protrusion 3d and the support spring 3c respectively abut against different positions on the same end face of the mounting plate 3b, jointly supporting the mounting plate 3b. The mounting plate 3b has a through hole 3b1 for the adjusting rods to pass through, with a gap between the through hole 3b1 and the adjusting rods, allowing the mounting plate 3b to deflect relative to the adjusting rods. Furthermore, the support spring 3c can be configured to leave a gap between the mounting plate 3b and the support protrusion 3d in its natural state. Thus, when the mounting plate 3b contacts the support protrusion 3d, the support spring 3c can deform to form elastic support. The two adjusting rods are typically arranged in parallel at intervals.
[0047] In this embodiment, the laser sight 3a is mounted on a mounting plate 3b connected to the gun body 1 via two adjusting rods. By adjusting either adjusting rod, the relative position between the mounting plate 3b and the gun body 1 can be changed, causing the support spring 3c on that adjusting rod to elastically deform. In this case, the mounting plate 3b will deflect around the line connecting the fulcrum of the support spring 3c and the support protrusion 3d on the other adjusting rod, thereby causing the laser sight 3a to deflect and achieve angle adjustment. In this way, only two adjusting rods (and sometimes even only one adjusting rod) need to be adjusted to quickly complete the adjustment of the laser sight 3a. This design not only simplifies the adjustment process and improves adjustment efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the laser sight 3a during use through the elastic support of the support spring 3c and the rigid support of the support protrusion 3d.
[0048] Regarding the installation position of the mounting plate 3b, it can be installed on the upper end or front end (i.e., at the muzzle) of the gun body 1. If the mounting plate 3b is installed on the upper end of the gun body 1, a fixing seat or a protruding boss can be provided on the upper end of the gun body 1, and the mounting plate 3b can be installed on the front end of the fixing seat or boss. If the mounting plate 3b is installed on the front end of the gun body 1, a firing hole can be provided on the mounting plate 3b, which is coaxially aligned with the outlet end (i.e., the bullet outlet) of the firing tube 2, so that water bullets can be fired from it, avoiding interference with the water bullet firing. The mounting plate 3b can adopt a ring structure, and its central hole can serve as the firing hole. This embodiment mainly uses the installation of the mounting plate 3b on the front end of the gun body 1 as an example for specific explanation.
[0049] The 3D support protrusion can be designed as a conical protrusion, a circular protrusion, or an arc-shaped protrusion. Conical protrusions have a smaller contact area, providing more precise support points and are suitable for applications requiring high-precision adjustment; circular or arc-shaped protrusions have a larger contact area, providing more stable support and are suitable for applications requiring high stability.
[0050] Regarding the structure of the adjusting rod, it can be a locking bolt 3e or a screw with a locking nut. If the adjusting rod is a locking bolt 3e, its threaded end is threaded to the gun body 1, and the bolt head at the other end abuts against the front end of the mounting plate 3b. By tightening the locking bolt 3e, the mounting plate 3b can be driven to compress the support spring 3c, so that the mounting plate 3b simultaneously contacts the support spring 3c and the support protrusion 3d to form a three-point support. If the adjusting rod is a combination of a screw and a nut, one end of the screw is fixedly connected to the gun body 1, and the other end extends to the front end of the mounting plate 3b and is fitted with a locking nut. The locking nut abuts against the front end of the mounting plate 3b. By tightening the locking nut, the mounting plate 3b can be driven to compress the support spring 3c, so that the mounting plate 3b simultaneously contacts the support spring 3c and the support protrusion 3d to form a three-point support. This embodiment mainly uses the locking bolt 3e as an example for specific explanation.
[0051] In this embodiment, the laser sight 3a is located at the front end of the mounting plate 3b, for example, on the upper side of the front end. Two locking bolts 3e are respectively located on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 3b, while the support protrusion 3d is located on the upper or lower side of the rear end of the mounting plate 3b, preferably on the upper side. The two locking bolts 3e can be symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 3b, while the support protrusion 3d is located on the upper center of the mounting plate 3b. Thus, the support springs 3c on the locking bolts 3e and the support protrusion 3d at the front end of the gun body 1 together form an isosceles triangle-shaped three-point support structure, ensuring balanced force distribution. The support springs 3c on the two locking bolts 3e provide elastic support, while the support protrusion 3d provides a rigid positioning reference.
[0052] Generally, the mounting plate 3b can be set perpendicular to the axis of the transmitting tube 2. In this case, the support protrusion 3d abuts against the rear end of the mounting plate 3b, and the two support springs 3c also abut against the rear end of the mounting plate 3b, with the support springs 3c undergoing a certain deformation to form elastic support. The laser sight 3a is vertically mounted on the front end face of the mounting plate 3b, with its axis coplanar (i.e., parallel) to the axis of the transmitting tube 2. Thus, when the mounting plate 3b is placed vertically, the laser sight 3a can be in a horizontal state, which is the adjusted state. However, to allow for bidirectional adjustment margins in subsequent adjustments, the following settings can be made: the initial installation position of the mounting plate 3b is preset so that the rigid support point is slightly forward and the two elastic support points are slightly backward, making the upper side of the mounting plate 3b forward and the lower side backward. In this way, the two support springs 3c are compressed by a certain amount, forming initial elastic support. The initial installation position of the laser sight 3a is preset to a non-horizontal state with the front end of the optical axis (i.e., the laser path) tilted upwards. This configuration allows the position of the mounting plate 3b to be adjusted during subsequent adjustments by loosening or tightening the locking bolt 3e, ensuring that the laser sight 3a reaches the required horizontal position and that its axis is coplanar with the axis of the transmitting tube 2. Alternatively, the laser sight 3a axis can be pre-aligned with the axis of the transmitting tube 2, saving adjustment time.
[0053] The following is a brief description of the adjustment process for the laser sight 3a (taking the forward-facing view of the laser sight 3a as an example). Two locking bolts 3e are located on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 3b, respectively, and the support protrusion 3d is located on the upper rear end of the mounting plate 3b.
[0054] In actual operation, the user only needs to observe the offset direction of the laser impact point relative to the target center, and then rotate the corresponding locking bolt 3e (usually without alternating tightening) to make the laser impact point coincide with the target center, thus completing the calibration. After adjustment, the adjustment position (mounting plate 3b) can be locked by the self-holding characteristic of the preload of the support spring 3c.
[0055] If the laser impact point is too high relative to the target center: simultaneously tighten the two locking bolts 3e to compress the two support springs 3c, and the lower side of the mounting plate 3b will deflect backward, thereby pressing the optical axis of the laser sight 3a downward.
[0056] If the laser impact point is too low relative to the target center: simultaneously loosen the two locking bolts 3e, causing the two support springs 3c to rebound, and the lower side of the mounting plate 3b to deflect forward, thereby causing the optical axis of the laser sight 3a to tilt upward.
[0057] If the laser point is to the left of the target center: loosen the left locking bolt 3e or tighten the right locking bolt 3e to make the left side of the mounting plate 3b deflect forward and the right side deflect backward, thereby causing the optical axis of the laser sight 3a to deflect to the right.
[0058] If the laser point of impact is offset to the right relative to the target center: loosen the right locking bolt 3e or tighten the left locking bolt 3e to make the right side of the mounting plate 3b deflect forward and the left side deflect backward, thereby causing the optical axis of the laser sight 3a to deflect to the left.
[0059] When adjusting, first correct the horizontal deviation, and then correct the vertical deviation.
[0060] Traditional toy water guns, after pulling the trigger 5a, typically only produce the sound of water bullets being launched and the gun firing, lacking other interactive elements and thus offering less enjoyment. To enhance the user experience, this embodiment adds a launch-linked flashing light 3f to the gun body 1. This light automatically flashes when the water bullets are launched. In this way, when the water bullets are fired, the user can not only hear a realistic firing sound but also see a flashing light effect, enhancing the fun of shooting. The flashing light 3f can be installed on the front end of the mounting plate 3b (see [reference]). Figure 2 , 3 The number of these elements can be one or more, preferably multiple, and they are arranged in a circular, spaced pattern to ensure that the lighting effect is more intuitive and eye-catching.
[0061] Unlike traditional bottom-mounted magazine designs, this embodiment features a water ammunition supply compartment 4a located at the upper end of the gun body 1, as shown in the reference. Figure 1-6 The inlet end of the launch tube 2 (i.e., the bullet inlet) is equipped with a receiving position for receiving water bullets. The bottom outlet of the water bullet supply chamber 4a is connected to a bullet drop channel 4b extending above the receiving position. The water bullets fall to the receiving position along the bullet drop channel 4b under their own gravity. This top-mounted gravity feeding system cleverly utilizes the principle of gravity to achieve zero-power feeding, thereby eliminating the mechanical or electric feeding device previously necessary for upward feeding, simplifying the overall structure, and reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, an openable and closable dust cover can be installed on the top of the water bullet supply chamber 4a to facilitate the loading of water bullets.
[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom wall of the water bomb supply chamber 4a adopts a funnel-shaped structure, which facilitates the smooth guidance of water bombs to the drop channel 4b. The drop channel 4b is divided into two parts from top to bottom: the upper part is a cone-shaped section 4b1 that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which can temporarily store multiple water bombs to form a pre-feed buffer zone, preventing the pressure of water bombs accumulating in the upper chamber from directly affecting the falling process, thus playing a role in pressure isolation; the lower part is a vertical guide section 4b2, which is a straight pipe, perpendicular to the launch tube 2 and located directly above the receiving position behind the launch tube 2, used to guide the water bombs to the receiving position in an orderly manner. The lower outlet of the drop channel 4b can be regarded as the drop port. When the outlet of the drop channel 4b is closed, the vertical guide section 4b2 can temporarily store multiple water bombs to form a queue of water bombs to be fired. This design helps the continuous feeding of water bombs, lays a good foundation for continuous firing, and reduces the problem of firing interruption caused by feeding problems.
[0063] Furthermore, the toy water gun of this embodiment is similar to existing products in terms of its firing trigger mechanism, transmission mechanism, projectile pushing assembly, and pneumatic firing mechanism. Its innovation lies in the improvement of the motor drive method. Traditional designs typically use worm gears or multi-gear transmission mechanisms to connect the motor to the incomplete gear, a non-direct-drive structure that suffers from large space occupation and high energy consumption. In contrast, this embodiment adopts a geared motor direct-drive scheme, directly connecting the motor output shaft to the incomplete gear (e.g., using a motor with a built-in planetary gear reduction mechanism), which not only reduces the size of the mechanism but also lowers energy consumption.
[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, the toy water gun mainly includes a firing trigger mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a projectile pushing assembly, and a pneumatic firing mechanism mounted on the gun body 1. The firing trigger mechanism consists of a trigger 5a, a contact switch 5b, and a reduction motor 5c, which are linked in sequence. Pulling the trigger 5a activates the contact switch 5b, which in turn starts the reduction motor 5c. The gun body 1 also has a control board connected to the contact switch 5b and the reduction motor 5c. The transmission mechanism includes an incomplete gear 6 that serves as a drive wheel. This gear has a circumferential gear meshing section 6b and an eccentric protrusion 6a on its end face, i.e., a protrusion structure that deviates from the axis of rotation. The output shaft of the reduction motor 5c is coaxially and fixedly connected to the incomplete gear 6 (see reference). Figure 10The incomplete gear 6 is configured to periodically drive the pusher assembly via the eccentric protrusion 6a to transfer the water bullet from the receiving position to the launch tube 2, and to periodically drive the pneumatic launching mechanism via the gear meshing part 6b to compress gas and launch the water bullet. Specifically, the pusher assembly is designed to be periodically driven by the eccentric protrusion 6a. When driven, the pusher assembly opens the outlet of the drop channel 4b, allowing the water bullet to fall to the receiving position. When disengaged from the eccentric protrusion 6a, the pusher assembly pushes the water bullet from the receiving position into the launch tube 2 and re-closes the outlet of the drop channel 4b. The pneumatic launching mechanism is also designed to be periodically driven by the incomplete gear 6. When driven, it accumulates driving force for compressing air. When disengaged from the incomplete gear 6, it releases this driving force, compresses the air, generates high-pressure gas transmitted to the launch tube 2, and propels the water bullet out of the launch tube 2.
[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 7-9 As shown, the projectile pushing assembly mainly includes a sliding seat 7a that can slide along the axial direction of the firing tube 2. The upper end of the sliding seat 7a has a hollow push rod 7b coaxial with the firing tube 2. This hollow push rod 7b is located behind the firing tube 2 and, in its initial position, can close the exit of the projectile drop channel 4b. The lower end of the sliding seat 7a has a hook 7c, which is connected to a fixing block on the gun body 1 (located in front of the hook 7c) via a tension spring 7d. When the sliding seat 7a moves backward, the tension spring 7d is stretched and stores energy. Furthermore, a downward-protruding drive protrusion 7e is located on the lower rear end of the sliding seat 7a. This drive protrusion 7e periodically contacts the eccentric protrusion 6a on the end face of the incomplete gear 6. When the incomplete gear 6 rotates until the eccentric protrusion 6a contacts the drive protrusion 7e, the drive protrusion 7e, pushed by the eccentric protrusion 6a, causes the sliding seat 7a to move backward. At this point, the tension spring 7d is stretched and stores energy, and the hollow push rod 7b moves backward, opening the outlet of the drop channel 4b and allowing the water bullet to fall to the receiving position. When the incomplete gear 6 continues to rotate until the eccentric protrusion 6a disengages from the drive protrusion 7e, the tension spring 7d releases its stored energy, pulling the sliding seat 7a forward. At this time, the hollow push rod 7b moves forward and re-closes the outlet of the drop channel 4b, while simultaneously pushing the water bullet from the receiving position into the launch tube 2 and connecting it with the inlet end of the launch tube 2 to form a gas channel.
[0066] like Figure 5 and Figure 7-9As shown, the pneumatic firing mechanism mainly includes a guide sleeve 8a fixed in the gun body 1 and a piston rod 8b slidably installed in the guide sleeve 8a. The front end of the guide sleeve 8a is closed and has a gas tube 8c communicating with its inner cavity. A hollow push rod 7b is slidably sleeved or inserted into the gas tube 8c. The rear end of the piston rod 8b is connected to the gun body 1 through a compression spring 8d. When the piston rod 8b moves backward, the compression spring 8d is compressed and stores energy. The rear end of the piston rod 8b can adopt a tubular structure, with the compression spring 8d installed in its inner cavity. A positioning rod 12 coaxial with the piston rod 8b is fixedly installed on the gun body 1, and the rear end of the compression spring 8d is sleeved on the positioning rod 12. In this way, when the compression spring 8d is compressed, it can retract into the inner cavity of the piston rod 8b, thereby reducing the space occupied. The front end of the guide sleeve 8a can be closed by installing a fixing plug, and the fixing plug is provided with an O-ring seal around its circumference. A piston is mounted at the front end of the piston rod 8b, and an O-ring (such as a sliding seal) can also be installed around the piston. The rear end of the piston rod 8b extends out of the guide sleeve 8a, and the lower end of the extended section is equipped with a drive tooth 8e. This drive tooth 8e periodically meshes with the incomplete gear 6. When the incomplete gear 6 rotates until the gear meshing part 6b engages with the drive tooth 8e, the drive tooth 8e, driven by the incomplete gear 6, causes the piston rod 8b to move backward, thereby compressing the compression spring 8d. When the incomplete gear 6 continues to rotate until the gear meshing part 6b disengages from the drive tooth 8e, the compression spring 8d releases its stored energy, pushing the piston rod 8b forward rapidly. At this time, the air inside the guide sleeve 8a is compressed by the piston rod 8b, forming high-pressure gas. This high-pressure gas is transmitted to the launch tube 2 through the air guide tube 8c and the hollow push rod 7b, propelling the water bullet out.
[0067] To ensure airtightness when the hollow push rod 7b is connected to the launch tube 2, an intermediate connecting component can be installed at the rear end of the launch tube 2 (i.e., the inlet / projectile inlet). For example... Figure 6 As shown, the connecting component can be a connecting sleeve 9, which is fitted onto the launching tube 2, with its rear end extending beyond the launching tube 2. The inner wall of the extended rear end of the connecting sleeve 9 is conical, and this conical surface can be made of an elastic material. When the hollow push rod 7b is aligned with the launching tube 2, the hollow push rod 7b is inserted into the connecting sleeve 9, forming a tight fit with the inner conical surface of the rear end of the connecting sleeve 9, thereby improving the airtightness between the hollow push rod 7b and the launching tube 2. If necessary, a sliding sealing ring or a sliding sealing sleeve can be provided between the hollow push rod 7b and the air guide tube 8c.
[0068] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, a first limiting protrusion 10a and a first limiting slot 10b are provided between the piston rod 8b and the gun body 1 to ensure that the piston rod 8b moves axially along the guide sleeve 8a. A second limiting protrusion 11a and a second limiting slot 11b are provided between the sliding seat 7a and the gun body 1 to ensure that the sliding seat 7a moves axially along the firing tube 2. Of course, in this embodiment, other axially moving components may also have the aforementioned limiting structures provided between them and their mating components.
[0069] Among them, such as Figure 10 As shown, the geared motor 5c and the incomplete gear 6 can form a detachable modular structure, which is fixed to the gun body 1 by clips or screws, thus facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
[0070] The launching process of the toy water gun in this embodiment mainly includes four stages. The entire process is realized by the continuous rotation of the reduction motor 5c, and the rotation angle of each stage can be reasonably selected according to the requirements.
[0071] During the first stage of ammunition preparation, the incomplete gear 6 disengages from the drive teeth 8e of the guide sleeve 8a. When the trigger 5a is pulled, the contact switch 5b is activated, and the reduction motor 5c starts immediately, its output shaft directly driving the incomplete gear 6 to begin rotating. Immediately afterwards, the eccentric protrusion 6a on the end face of the incomplete gear 6 contacts the drive protrusion 7e of the sliding seat 7a, causing the sliding seat 7a to move backward. At the same time, the tension spring 7d is stretched to store energy, and the hollow push rod 7b also moves backward synchronously, opening the outlet of the ammunition drop channel 4b. At this time, the water bullet above falls under gravity through the upper ammunition collecting cone section 4b1, then falls freely through the lower vertical guide section 4b2, and finally falls from the outlet of the ammunition drop channel 4b to the ammunition receiving position.
[0072] The incomplete gear 6 continues to rotate, entering the second stage of pneumatic energy storage. At this time, the eccentric protrusion 6a on the end face of the incomplete gear 6 disengages from the driving protrusion 7e of the sliding seat 7a. After the eccentric protrusion 6a disengages from the driving protrusion 7e, the tension spring 7d is released, the sliding seat 7a moves forward, and the hollow push rod 7b pushes the water bullet into the launch tube 2. The front end of the hollow push rod 7b connects with the launch tube 2, forming a gas channel. At the same time, the gear meshing part 6b of the incomplete gear 6 begins to mesh with the driving tooth part 8e of the piston rod 8b, and the piston rod 8b moves backward, simultaneously compressing the compression spring 8d to store energy.
[0073] The incomplete gear 6 continues to rotate, entering the third stage of launch execution. At this time, the gear meshing part 6b of the incomplete gear 6 disengages from the drive teeth 8e of the guide sleeve 8a, while the eccentric protrusion 6a on its end face remains disengaged from the drive protrusion 7e of the sliding seat 7a. After the gear meshing part 6b of the incomplete gear 6 disengages from the drive teeth 8e of the piston rod 8b, the compression spring 8d is released, the piston rod 8b moves forward rapidly, and the air inside the guide sleeve 8a is compressed.
[0074] The incomplete gear 6 continues to rotate, entering the final fourth stage where the projectile (i.e., the water bullet) accelerates. At this point, the gear meshing part 6b of the incomplete gear 6 also disengages from the driving tooth part 8e of the guide sleeve 8a, and the eccentric protrusion 6a on its end face also disengages from the driving protrusion 7e of the sliding seat 7a. The compressed high-pressure gas enters the launching tube 2 through the air guide pipe 8c, and the gas propels the water bullet to complete its acceleration, causing it to be ejected along the launching tube 2. Simultaneously, the reduction motor 5c completes a full revolution, and the entire system resets.
[0075] This embodiment also provides a video game shooting device, including the aforementioned toy water gun and a matching video game device body. The two are connected and work together through a standardized interface. The connection method and working principle are similar to those of existing similar video game shooting devices, and will not be described in detail here.
[0076] The toy water gun in this embodiment can be equipped with a dual-mode power supply system to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. Specifically, the system includes the following two modes: 1. Mobile mode: When portable use is required, the toy water gun is independently powered by its built-in rechargeable battery pack, allowing players to play freely anywhere without being restricted by power cords. 2. Fixed mode: When the toy water gun is used in a fixed position, it can be connected to an external power supply system through the power interface, thereby providing stable power support for the device and ensuring continuous use for a long time. This dual-mode power supply system design ensures both the flexibility of the toy water gun in a mobile state and the stability when used in a fixed position, greatly improving the practicality and applicability of the product.
[0077] In summary, this embodiment allows for direct adjustment of the relative position between the mounting plate 3b and the gun body 1 by rotating the locking bolt 3e, enabling controllable deflection of the mounting plate 3b and facilitating rapid adjustment of the laser sight 3a. The operation is simple and the adjustment is relatively easy. Furthermore, the coordinated action of two support springs 3c and one support protrusion 3d forms a relatively stable three-point support structure. The support protrusion 3d, acting as a rigid fulcrum, not only provides stable basic support but also effectively suppresses deviation caused by firing vibrations; while the two support springs 3c, acting as elastic fulcrums, provide support force while absorbing impact energy. This ensures the stability of the laser sight 3a during use. Moreover, the elastic pressure of the support springs 3c allows the mounting plate 3b to automatically maintain its adjusted position, achieving a "lock-in upon adjustment" effect.
[0078] Furthermore, the addition of a launch-linked flashing light 3f in this embodiment enhances the shooting experience. Simultaneously, this embodiment abandons the traditional indirect transmission mechanism, instead employing a direct drive method where a geared motor 5c directly connects to an incomplete gear 6. This design not only reduces the installation space of the drive components but also further simplifies the installation structure and lowers manufacturing costs.
[0079] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
