Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ammunition management technology, and in particular to a bullet manager based on a magazine. Background Technology
[0002] Current methods for managing firearms and ammunition mostly involve storing them in dedicated firearm cabinets and recording changes after each use. This method cannot provide real-time information on the ammunition in the magazines, lacks real-time tracking capabilities, and cannot record the status of the ammunition within the magazines in real time.
[0003] Therefore, existing technology managers cannot meet the requirements of intelligent, efficient, and secure management and need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a magazine-based ammunition manager that can record and track the ammunition in the magazine in real time, so as to facilitate the management of the ammunition in the magazine.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A magazine-based ammunition manager is provided, comprising: a housing, a battery and a main board installed within the housing; the housing is provided with pressure-sensing contacts and a charging and data interface; the main board includes: a circuit board, a main control circuit, a charging circuit, a voltage regulator circuit, a micro-force monitoring circuit, and a communication antenna disposed on the circuit board; the charging circuit is electrically connected to the battery and the main control circuit respectively, the battery is electrically connected to the voltage regulator circuit, and the voltage regulator circuit is electrically connected to the main control circuit and the micro-force monitoring circuit respectively; the charging interface of the charging circuit is disposed at the charging and data interface, and the communication antenna is electrically connected to the main control circuit; the pressure sensor of the micro-force monitoring circuit is disposed at the pressure-sensing contacts, or the pressure-sensing contacts are provided with a sensing head, and the sensing head contacts the pressure sensor. The battery powers each electrical module, the circuit board carries each circuit, the main control circuit controls the overall system, the charging circuit charges the battery, the voltage regulator circuit regulates the battery voltage for power supply to each electrical module, the micro-force monitoring circuit senses pressure, and the communication antenna enables the main control circuit to communicate with the backend server and upload data. In this design, the pressure sensor can be directly installed at the pressure sensing contact, or a dedicated sensing head can be placed at the pressure sensing contact, with the pressure sensor then contacting the sensing head.
[0006] In application, the magazine-based ammunition manager is used as the first cartridge to be loaded into the magazine, followed by the loading of other ammunition. The magazine-based ammunition manager is located at the bottom of the magazine. The pressure of the magazine spring and the weight of the ammunition act on a pressure sensor, which can collect pressure data in real time. Different numbers of ammunition in the magazine result in different pressure readings from the pressure sensor, thus enabling real-time monitoring of the ammunition's status within the magazine. This allows for real-time recording and tracking of the ammunition in the magazine, facilitating ammunition management.
[0007] Furthermore, the magazine-based ammunition manager further includes two stabilizing wings mounted on the outer casing. The pressure-sensing contact and the two stabilizing wings are arranged in a triangular pattern, preferably an isosceles triangle. The stabilizing wings ensure that the pressure sensor does not shift during detection and ensure that the sensing head or pressure sensor is in direct contact with the spring of the magazine.
[0008] Furthermore, the motherboard also includes a battery voltage detection circuit and a battery protection circuit disposed on the circuit board. The battery voltage detection circuit is electrically connected to the battery and the main control circuit, respectively, and the battery protection circuit is electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The battery voltage detection circuit is used to detect the battery voltage. When the voltage is insufficient, the main control circuit sends a low voltage information to the backend server through a communication antenna to alert the backend administrator. The battery protection circuit is used to protect the battery.
[0009] Furthermore, the communication antenna is separately located at one end of the circuit board to reduce the impact of other circuits on the operation of the communication antenna.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer shell includes: an upper shell and a lower shell that mates with the upper shell.
[0011] Using the above solution, this utility model provides a magazine-based ammunition manager. In application, the magazine-based ammunition manager is used as the first cartridge to be inserted into the magazine, followed by the insertion of other ammunition. The magazine-based ammunition manager is located at the bottom of the magazine. The pressure of the magazine spring and the weight of the ammunition act on a pressure sensor, which can collect pressure data in real time. Different numbers of ammunition in the magazine result in different pressure data sensed by the pressure sensor, thus enabling real-time knowledge of the number of ammunition in the magazine. This achieves real-time acquisition of the ammunition status in the magazine, enabling real-time recording and tracking of the ammunition in the magazine, facilitating the management of the ammunition in the magazine.
