Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toy products, and in particular to shooting toys with an integrated target shooting game mode. Background Technology

[0002] All-in-one shooting games integrate the target and firing tube into a single toy platform. Spherical bullets are typically launched by manually pushing or pulling the firing tube or by a spring-loaded impact. The shooting game function is achieved by the bullets hitting the target, causing it to flip or triggering sound and light effects. These toys are primarily used by preschool or young children. The game requires observing and controlling the direction of the firing tube to aim at the target while simultaneously pushing or firing. This not only provides entertainment but also trains the player's shooting skills, concentration, and reaction time. Competitive games using scoring or point systems can also offer a thrilling and exciting gaming experience. Because the structure requires a closed shooting space to prevent bullets from scattering randomly upon impact, a common design involves the bullets gathering on the toy platform and then transferring to a loading chamber at the top of the firing tube. The bullets then enter the firing tube one by one under gravity, ready to be fired. This design requires the intermittent transfer of spherical bullets during use. For players of this age group, this increases the physical activity, reduces the fun, and significantly increases the likelihood of bullets falling, being retrieved, or even being lost. How to make the spherical bullets automatically concentrate after firing, or even automatically reload, to reduce other "useless" actions, is not only related to the playability of the product, but also affects its functionality. This is what manufacturers of such products are exploring. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball-shooting toy. A target chamber is set up on an integrated toy platform, and a target and a firing tube are installed. The inclined structure of the platform's base plate ensures that the launched balls roll and concentrate at a lower position, automatically entering the cavity of the firing tube one by one. The firing tube is equipped with a connecting structure that pushes the balls upward to the horizontal firing tube position, achieving a smooth loading and firing action. This addresses the shortcomings of current products of this type in terms of user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is a ball-shooting toy, comprising a target chamber and a launching tube. The target chamber is a closed space covered by a transparent shell with an opening. The launching tube is installed at the bottom plate of the target chamber at the opening, and a movable target is installed inside the target chamber. The bottom plate of the target chamber is inclined at one end and the other at the other, with the launching tube inserted into the lower end of the bottom plate. The launching tube is a cross-shaped tube, consisting of a vertical magazine tube and a horizontal launching tube. The magazine tube is hollow and has an opening on its side, close to the bottom plate of the target chamber. The launching tube is hollow and has a launching rod installed inside. A longitudinal channel is formed in the wall of the magazine tube, and a sliding plate in the shape of a square is installed in the channel. The front inclined surface of the sliding plate extends upward from the intersection of the channel and the bottom of the magazine tube and is hidden in the channel. A horizontal slot is formed at the top of the sliding plate, and the rear side is fixedly connected to the launching rod. A ring-shaped caliper with its opening facing the nozzle of the firing tube is installed at the intersection of the firing tube and the magazine tube. The inner diameter of the caliper is the same as the hollow cavity of the magazine tube. The horizontal groove of the sliding plate is arranged horizontally in a cross shape with the caliper.

[0005] This invention uses a ball-shaped bullet as the firing bullet, the diameter of which is the same as the inner diameter of the hollow channel of the magazine tube and firing tube. The integrated design and enclosed target chamber space ensure that the bullet is circulated within the target chamber without scattering. The product's structural design has the following advantages: 1. The firing tube is installed at the bottom of the target chamber floor. After the bullet is pushed and hits the target, it automatically rolls to the position of the firing tube and enters the magazine tube sequentially from the opening at the base of the firing tube, reaching the front inclined surface of the sliding plate to complete the loading preparation. This structure cleverly utilizes the characteristics of an integrated toy to achieve automatic bullet delivery, a function not available in existing products, increasing the product's fun factor. 2. The combination of the sliding plate, firing rod, and clamp plate enables a smooth loading and firing action. Specifically, after the bullet reaches the bottom of the magazine tube, the user only needs to press the firing rod, causing the sliding plate to move forward simultaneously. The front inclined surface of the sliding plate will push the ball-shaped bullet upward along the hollow channel inside the magazine tube, reaching the top of the magazine tube, entering the clamp plate, and remaining fixed. Subsequently, pushing the firing lever causes its upper horizontal slot to engage with the clamping plate, simultaneously propelling the ball-shaped bullet horizontally forward towards the opening of the clamping plate. Because the clamping plate is a ring-shaped structure, it generates potential energy upon compression and deformation, which is then transferred to the ball-shaped bullet passing within it. The ball-shaped bullet stores both this potential energy and the kinetic energy provided by the firing lever. Therefore, upon disengaging from the clamping plate opening, the energy is released, propelling it at high speed outward from the firing tube to strike the target. This functional structure enables automatic bullet lifting, loading, and firing, reducing the size of the loading chamber and eliminating the need for manual bullet reloading, significantly enhancing the product's entertainment value. Furthermore, it will attract and stimulate the curiosity of children who enjoy exploration, representing a groundbreaking innovation in this type of toy.

[0006] Furthermore, in the ball-shooting toy with the above-described structure, the sliding plate and the shooting rod are connected in a fixed manner.

[0007] The sliding plate and the firing rod can be connected and fixed using methods such as insertion or assembly. The connection position can be at the top, middle, or even bottom of the sliding plate. This structure also separates the firing tube into two parts on both sides of the magazine tube: the front part at the top, including the firing tube nozzle that serves as the bullet exit; and the rear part at the bottom, where the firing rod is installed. By staggering the height of the firing rod and the bullet exit, another game mode can be achieved, namely, separate aiming and firing operations, allowing for the setting of an aiming and observation structure at the firing height. Therefore, this utility model is a novel product that integrates multiple game operations, combining entertainment and education. Furthermore, its structure is scientifically designed and simple, with low assembly requirements, facilitating production and promotion.

[0008] This invention creates an integrated ball-shooting toy that can automatically collect and load bullets. The combination of the sliding plate structure and the hollow structure of the magazine tube scientifically simplifies the bullet loading device. Combined with the clamp plate, the firing action can be completed in one go, greatly improving the playability of this type of product. Structurally, it also has the advantages of simple and reasonable components and strong operability. Attached Figure Description

[0012] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] As attached Figure 1 A shooting toy based on an integrated pirate ship model consists of a target chamber 1 and a shooting tube 2 installed on the edge of the target chamber. The target chamber is a closed space formed by covering and installing a transparent round shell 11 on the platform base plate 10. The round shell has an opening, and the shooting tube 2 is inserted into the target chamber base plate at the opening. Multiple movable target pieces 3 are installed inside the target chamber.

[0014] The target chamber floor plate slowly rises from the opening of the round shell part to other directions to form an inclined surface. The push tube pushes the ball bullet 4, and the bullet will automatically concentrate at the insertion position of the push tube after being fired.

[0015] See appendix Figure 2As shown, the firing tube is a cross-shaped fitting consisting of a vertical magazine tube 20 and a horizontal firing tube 21. Both the magazine tube and the firing tube are hollow structures, with the inner diameter of the cavity being the same as the diameter of the ball-and-ball bullet 4, allowing the ball-and-ball bullet to move within the cavity. The magazine tube 20 has an opening 200 on its lower side. After insertion, the opening is close to the target chamber floor plate 10, and the ball-and-ball bullet automatically enters the magazine tube through the opening under the action of gravity. The magazine tube 20 has a channel 201 at its longitudinal axis position. A sliding plate 202 with a truncated square shape and an oblique side is installed in the channel. The oblique side of the front part of the sliding plate extends upward from the intersection of the channel and the bottom of the magazine tube and is hidden in the channel 201. A horizontal slot 203 is formed on the upper part of the sliding plate, and a spring 6 is installed on its side and connected to the inner wall of the firing tube.

[0016] The firing tube 21 has a firing nozzle 210 at its front end and a firing rod 211 at its rear end. A flexible, circular plastic clamp 5 is installed at the intersection with the magazine tube. The clamp has an opening facing the firing tube nozzle. The inner diameter of the clamp is the same as the hollow cavity of the magazine tube and the diameter of the ball-shaped bullet, ensuring the bullet is completely nested inside the clamp. The clamp 5 is arranged perpendicularly to the horizontal slot 203 on the upper part of the sliding plate, and the sliding plates intersect each other when pushed. The firing rod 211 is connected to the sliding plate 202, or it can be integrally formed.

[0017] After entering the magazine tube, the ball-and-ball bullet 4 remains at the bottom, contacting the lower part of the sliding plate 202. When firing the bullet, pushing the firing lever 211 moves the sliding plate 202 forward, simultaneously pushing the ball-and-ball bullet upwards along the magazine tube's channel into the inside of the clamp, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown.

[0018] Subsequently, the push rod 202 is pushed forward, and its upper horizontal slot and the caliper are interlocked. At the same time, the ball bullet 4 is pushed horizontally forward toward the opening of the caliper 5. After the elastic force of the caliper opening and closing, the ball bullet, after leaving the opening of the caliper, gains forward kinetic energy and is shot out at high speed from the nozzle of the firing tube to hit the target.

[0019] The above description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but does not imply limitation to the structure of the embodiment. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and additions falling within the technical scope of the claims of this invention, such as dividing the firing tube into two parts—a front nozzle and a rear section for mounting the firing rod—or offsetting the height of the firing rod and the bullet exit, and employing a separate connection between the firing rod and the sliding plate, etc., are also within the technical scope described in this invention.
