Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slingshot technology, specifically to a magazine-type slingshot. Background Technology

[0002] Slingshots are common toys and an increasingly popular form of fitness equipment, enjoying widespread popularity. Traditional slingshots typically consist of a bow, rubber band, and cartridge case. To fire, the marbles need to be loaded into the cartridge case, and then the rubber band is stretched before firing. This method of loading marbles is relatively slow and makes it difficult to fire quickly, which is not conducive to rapid firing for beginners. Currently, there are slingshots with magazines, but the marbles still need to be manually removed and loaded into the cartridge case, making the loading speed still relatively slow. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a magazine-type slingshot.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a magazine-type slingshot, which includes a bow body for mounting a magazine elastic band assembly, a magazine with an opening for holding marbles, and a marble driving assembly for driving at least one marble in the magazine to move toward the opening and discharging the marble closest to the opening. The upper side of the bow body has a magazine initial position. When the elastic band of the magazine elastic band assembly is in an unstretched state, the magazine is in the magazine initial position. When a marble is discharged from the opening, the marble moves toward the magazine initial position.

[0005] Furthermore, the magazine is equipped with a retractable opening that automatically retracts after being opened. When a ball is ejected from the opening, the retraction of the opening causes the ejected ball to bounce back to the initial position of the magazine.

[0006] Furthermore, the bullet pouch is equipped with magnets, and the marbles used are made of a material that can be attracted by magnets.

[0007] Furthermore, an elastic element is installed inside the magazine to apply a pushing force to the bullets inside the magazine towards the opening.

[0008] Furthermore, the ball drive assembly includes a drive component, which is movably mounted on the side of the bow body via an elastic component. One end of the drive component can extend into the magazine to drive at least one ball in the magazine to move in the opening direction. The magazine has a first through hole corresponding to the drive component.

[0009] Furthermore, the ball drive assembly also includes a limiting component. After the elastic component allows the drive component to leave the magazine, the limiting component keeps the drive component in its initial position by limiting it.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner end of the drive component is provided with a pressing surface that is not parallel to its own movement trajectory for pushing the ball. The ball is squeezed by the pressing surface and discharged from the opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper part of the bow has support ends on both sides, and the rubber bands on both sides of the bullet pouch are connected to the bow after passing through the support ends on the corresponding sides of the bow.

[0012] Furthermore, the bow body is provided with a space to accommodate the rubber band, and the two upper openings of the space are located at the two support ends respectively.

[0013] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model relates to a marble driving component, which drives a marble to open the opening and then eject it. The user can put the ejected marble into the magazine for firing. The retraction force after the opening is opened causes the ejected marble to pop out towards the magazine. The ejected marble is attracted by a magnet, which is located in the middle of the magazine. The marble is attracted by the magnet to achieve automatic reloading. The user can directly grab the magazine, stretch the elastic band, and release to complete the marble firing. The reloading speed is fast. Attached Figure Description

[0017] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1-10 As shown, this utility model provides a magazine-type slingshot, including a bow body 1. The bow body 1 is provided with a magazine 2. The magazine 2 can be an integral structure with the bow body or a detachable structure installed on the bow body. The magazine 2 is used to hold marbles 4. An elastic element is provided inside the magazine 2. A contracting opening 3 is opened at the upper end of the magazine 2. The contracting opening is not limited to contracting itself, but can also be provided with a component that makes the opening smaller. The inner diameter of the opening 3 is smaller than the diameter of the marbles 4. When marbles 4 are installed in the magazine 2, the elastic element is used to apply a pushing force to the marbles 4, which are movably set in the magazine 2, towards the opening 3. The bow body 1 is also provided with a magazine pouch rubber band assembly. The magazine pouch rubber band assembly includes a magazine pouch 5 and a rubber band 18. One end of the rubber band is connected to the magazine pouch 5, and the other end of the rubber band is connected to the bow body. The upper side of the bow body 1 has a magazine pouch initial position. When the rubber band is in an unstretched state, the magazine pouch is in the magazine pouch initial position. The magazine pouch in the initial position is located at the opening 3. The magazine pouch in the magazine pouch initial position is preferably located above the opening 3.

[0019] The bow body 1 is also equipped with a ball drive assembly, which is used to drive at least one ball in the magazine to move toward the opening 3 and make the ball closest to the opening 3 open the opening 3 and then be discharged. The user can put the discharged ball into the magazine for firing.

[0020] The opening 3 of the magazine can automatically retract after being opened. Preferably, the retracted part of the opening 3 is made of elastic material. When the marble is ejected from the opening 3, the retraction of the opening 3 after being opened gives the ejected marble a force that propels it toward the initial position of the magazine. This force can assist the marble in shooting toward the magazine. A magnet 6 is set on the magazine. The marble is made of a material that can be attracted by the magnet, such as a steel ball. The ejected marble is attracted by the magnet. The magnet is set in the middle of the magazine. The marble is attracted by the magnet to achieve automatic loading. The user can directly grab the magazine, stretch the elastic band, and release to complete the marble launch.

[0021] The constricted opening 3 has a notch on its side, which makes the opening 3 an incomplete circle. When the marble is ejected from the opening 3, the notch can facilitate the deformation of the opening 3 and prevent the opening from cracking. After the marble is ejected, the recoil force can better eject the marble.

[0022] The bow body 1 is provided with a cavity 7 for accommodating the magazine. The cavity 7 matches the shape of the magazine. The upper end of the cavity is open. After the magazine 2 is installed in the cavity, the opening 3 is located at the upper end of the cavity, preferably inside the cavity.

[0023] One embodiment of the marble drive assembly is a manual drive method. The marble drive assembly includes a drive component 8, which is movably mounted on the side of the bow body via an elastic component 9. One end of the drive component 8 can extend into the magazine to drive at least one marble in the magazine to move toward the opening 3. The magazine has a first through hole 16 corresponding to the drive component 8. The drive component only needs to extend between two marbles to squeeze the marble near the opening toward the opening end and discharge it.

[0024] The marble drive assembly also includes a limiting component 10, which cooperates with the drive component 8. When the user does not drive the drive component 8, the elastic component 9 causes the drive component 8 to leave the magazine, and the limiting component 10 keeps the drive component in its initial position by limiting it. The elastic component 9 is a first spring. The installation method of the first spring is not limited. One end can be connected to the bow body and the other end can be connected to the drive component. The bow body has a second through hole corresponding to the drive component. When the user presses the outer end of the drive component, the first spring is compressed. At the same time, the inner end of the drive component passes through the second through hole and the first through hole and extends into the magazine to contact the non-center of the marble. The inner end of the drive component is provided with a pressing surface that is not parallel to its own movement trajectory and is used to push the marble. The pressing surface faces the direction of the opening 3. By pressing the marble with the pressing surface, the marble can be discharged from the opening 3.

[0025] The limiting component 10 is provided with a mounting hole 101. The driving component 8 is movably disposed in the mounting hole. The limiting component is fixedly installed on the side of the bow body. The driving component 8 is a rod-shaped structure. A follower component 11 is provided on the side of the driving component 8 located in the mounting hole. The follower component is a structure of any shape that protrudes to the outside of the driving component and can be blocked, such as a limiting ring. The mounting hole near the outer end can block the follower component 11 to prevent the driving component from falling out.

[0026] Another embodiment of the ball drive assembly is electric drive. Electric drive can be achieved by electric propulsion, which is also a mature technology. It is not shown in the figure and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The elastic element is a second spring installed at the bottom of the magazine. When the ball is inserted, the second spring is gradually compressed, which can maintain a thrust on the ball in the direction of the opening.

[0028] The lower end of cavity 7 is open, and the magazine can be inserted from the lower end of cavity. After insertion, the first through hole of magazine is aligned with the second through hole of bow body.

[0029] The bow body is also equipped with a positioning structure for the magazine. When the magazine is installed into the cavity, the positioning structure ensures that the magazine is installed to a specified depth, thereby ensuring that the first through hole is aligned with the second through hole of the bow body.

[0030] The first embodiment of the positioning structure includes a positioning member 13 movably mounted on the bow body via a third spring 12, and a positioning groove 17 that cooperates with the positioning member 13 on the magazine. After the magazine is inserted, the positioning member 13 and the positioning groove cooperate to position the magazine under the action of the third spring. A fourth through hole is opened on the side of the bow body, and the positioning member is installed into the fourth through hole by the third spring. A sealing member is provided at the outer end of the fourth through hole. The second embodiment can be a magnetic assembly that is installed on the bow body and the magazine respectively, and the magazine is positioned by magnetic attraction, which is not shown in the figure.

[0031] The upper part of the bow body 1 has support ends on both sides. The rubber bands on both sides of the bullet pocket are connected to the bow body after passing through the support ends on the corresponding sides of the bow body 1. The support ends are provided with reset grooves 19 on the side closer to the middle. Both support ends of the bow body are provided with guide components 14 for the rubber bands. When the bullet pocket is in the ready-to-fire state, the other end of the rubber band is connected to the bow body after passing through the corresponding guide component 14. When the rubber band is in the relaxed state, the upper part is located in the reset groove 19. The design of the reset groove 19 can better ensure that the bullet pocket is stably located at the initial position opening 3 after the bullet pocket is released. After the bullet is ejected, it is close to the bullet pocket and can be better attracted by the magnet, which facilitates automatic loading.

[0032] The other end of the rubber band is introduced into the bow body after passing through the corresponding support end. Of course, the other end of the rubber band can also be set in a suitable position outside the bow body. Preferably, a receiving space 15 is provided inside the bow body to accommodate the rubber band. The two upper openings of the receiving space 15 are located at the two support ends respectively. This setting can hide the rubber band inside the bow body and avoid the exposed rubber band from affecting the return of the cartridge case. The receiving space 15 can be set in the shape of a channel. The other end of the rubber band is fixed in the receiving space or at the lower opening end of the receiving space. The fixing method is not limited. The receiving space 15 can be equipped with a pulley to guide the rubber band, which is not shown in the figure.

[0033] The cartridge pouch is T-shaped, which makes it easy for the user to grip.

[0034] The guide component 14 can be set as a pulley, which can guide the rubber band to roll, making the rubber band pull out more smoothly and the marbles to be launched more smoothly. The rubber band can also automatically retract into the bow body more effectively.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
