[0003] Most firearms are equipped with an aiming mechanism, which generally comprises a rear sight and a front sight. There is a gap in the rear sight. If an aiming structure of the firearm is calibrated correctly, a bullet fired by the firearm can hit a target if the gap, the front sight and the target are on the same line. A point on the same line with the gap and the front sight is the aim point.

[0004] After use, internal parts of the firearm often need to be maintained and cleaned, which requires disassembling and assembling the firearm. At present, most firearms are detachable. After the firearm is disassembled and reassembled, it is impossible to ensure that the aiming aim point throw is still correct, that is, it is impossible to ensure that the firearm hits the target through the gap and the front sight. Therefore, the aim point of the firearm generally needs to be recalibrated after disassembling and assembling to ensure accuracy of the aiming structure.

In this embodiment, the laser emitting assembly 2 emits red light beams. In other embodiments, the laser emitting assembly 2 may also emit visible light beams in any other color.

[0027] One end of the shell 1 away from the light emitting hole 11 is provided with a limiting end, and the limiting end is used for installing and limiting the auxiliary device on a barrel of the firearm. An outer side wall of the limiting end is provided with a first frustum inclined plane 12, an end portion of the limiting end is provided with a limiting mechanism, and central axes of the light emitting hole 11, the first frustum inclined plane 12 and the limiting mechanism are coincident.

[0029] The limiting mechanism comprises a casing pipe 13 and a first sealing piece 14. The first sealing piece 14 is sleeved on an outer wall of the limiting end; the casing pipe 13 is sleeved with one end of the limiting end away from the light emitting hole 11, the outer side wall of the limiting end is provided with a second frustum inclined plane 15, an inclined plane hole 16 adapted to the second frustum inclined plane 15 is arranged in the casing pipe 13, and the limiting end is inserted into the inclined plane hole 16, so that the second frustum inclined plane 15 is abutted against an inner wall of the inclined plane hole 16, and an end portion of the casing pipe 13 is fixedly connected with the limiting end through a screw. By arranging the second frustum inclined plane 15 and the inclined plane hole 16, it can be ensured that a central axis of the casing pipe 13 is coincident with a central axis of the limiting end.

[0030] The casing pipe 13 is provided with a second sealing piece 17, and the first sealing piece 14 and the second sealing piece 17 are respectively coincident with the central axis of the first frustum inclined plane 12. The first sealing piece 14 and the second sealing piece 17 are both silica gel rings. In other embodiments, the first sealing piece 14 and the second sealing piece 17 may also be other elastic devices.

[0031] Diameters of the first sealing piece 14 and the second sealing piece 17 are different, and the first sealing piece 14 and the second sealing piece 17 are provided for adapting to firearms with different calibers. When the auxiliary device works, the first sealing piece 17 or the second sealing piece 17 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the barrel, thus ensuring that the auxiliary device will not shake.

[0032] In this embodiment, a number of the first sealing piece 14 is two, a number of the second sealing piece 17 is three, and the diameters of each first sealing piece 14 and each second sealing piece 17 are different, so that the auxiliary device may be applied to firearms with more calibers. In other embodiments, the number of the first sealing piece 14 and the number of the second sealing piece 17 may be any other number.

[0033] The laser emitting assembly 2 comprises a laser 21 and a circuit board 22, the laser 21 and the circuit board 22 are respectively fixedly installed in the shell 1, the laser 21 is used for emitting visible light beams, and the laser 21 is connected with the circuit board 22.

[0034] The power supply assembly comprises a battery holder 3, the battery holder 3 is used for containing a battery 4, a bottom end of an inner wall of the battery holder 3 is provided with a connecting piece 31, and the connecting piece 31 is used for connecting the battery 4 with the shell 1. An outer side of the shell 1 is sleeved with a battery cover 5, the shell 1 is provided with a gap, and the gap is communicated with the accommodating cavity 18. An inner wall of the battery cover 5 is fixedly connected with the battery holder 3 through the gap, and the battery cover 5 can drive the battery holder 3 to rotate in situ move up and down. The battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to rotate, which can control the power-on or power-off of the laser 21. When the battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to rotate, the connecting piece 31 rotates synchronously with the battery holder 3 to connect with the shell 1, so that the laser 21 can be powered on to work.

[0035] An outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with a first boss 19, and an inner wall of the battery cover 5 is provided with a second boss 51. The first boss 19 and the second boss 51 are provided to limit the battery cover 5 to move up and down. When the battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to move, an end surface of the second boss 51 can be abutted against an end surface of the first boss 19. The gap can be opened or closed by the battery cover 5 driving the battery holder 3 to move up and down, which is convenient for replacing the battery 4 in the battery holder 3.

[0036] The battery holder 3 is provided with a clamping block 32, the battery cover 5 is sleeved on an outer side of the battery holder 3 and is fixedly connected with the clamping block 32. The shell 1 is provided with a limiting block 110. When the battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to rotate to a power-on position of the laser 21, the connecting piece 31 can be connected with the shell 1, and at the same time, the clamping block 32 can also be abutted against the limiting block 110. Through the cooperation between the clamping block 32 and the limiting block 110, the battery holder 3 and the shell 1 are limited and fixed when the laser 21 is powered on, thus ensuring the power-on stability of the laser 21. When the battery 4 needs to be replaced, the battery compartment battery holder 3 is driven to rotate synchronously by rotating the battery cover 5, so that the clamping block 32 is disconnected from the limiting block 110. Then, the battery holder 3 moves downwards synchronously by pulling down the battery cover 5, and the battery cover 5 will open the gap on the shell 1 during the downward movement, which is convenient for a user to replace the battery 4.

[0037] A bump 111 is arranged on a part of the shell 1 connected with the battery holder 3, and a clamping groove 33 adapted to the bump 111 is arranged on a side edge of the battery holder 3 corresponding to the bump 111. When the battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to rotate, the bump 111 can be connected with the clamping groove 33. There are two clamping grooves 33, and when one clamping groove 33 is connected with the bump 111, the laser 21 is in a power-off state. When the clamping groove 33 is connected with the bump 111, the laser 21 is in a power-on state. In this way, when the battery cover 5 is rotated, the user can judge whether the laser 21 is powered on or not by hand feeling.

[0038] In another embodiment, a second clamping groove is additionally arranged on the battery holder 3. When the battery cover 5 drives the battery holder 3 to rotate until the locking block 32 is separated from the limiting block 110, the bump 111 can be connected with the second clamping groove in this case. When the battery 4 needs to be replaced, the user rotates the battery cover 5 and can judge whether the battery cover 5 is rotated in place by hand feeling.

[0039] An outer wall of the battery cover 5 is provided with an anti-slip groove 52. The anti-slip groove 52 forms a net structure, which can effectively prevent the user from slipping when rotating or pulling the battery cover 5. In other embodiments, the outer wall of the battery cover 5 may also be provided with other types of anti-skid structures, such as anti-skid protruding points, anti-skid protruding grooves or anti-skid handles.

[0040] An elastic piece 6 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 18, one end of the elastic piece 6 is connected with a lower surface of an inner wall of the accommodating cavity 18, and the other end of the elastic piece 6 is abutted with a bottom surface of the battery holder 3. When disassembling the battery 4, the user pulls down the battery cover 5 and moves the battery holder 3 downward, and the battery holder 3 will compress the elastic piece 6 during the downward movement. When a pulling force of the user disappears, the battery holder 3 and the battery cover 5 can be driven to reset upward under the action of an elastic force of the elastic piece 6, so that the battery 4 is connected with the connecting piece 23, and efficiency of replacing the battery 4 is improved.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic piece 6 is a spiral spring. In other embodiments, the elastic piece 6 may also be other elastic structure, for example, an elastic sheet, and the like.

[0042] A jacking post 7 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 18, one end of the jacking post 18 is connected with the shell 1, the other end of the jacking post 7 extends into the accommodating cavity 18, a lower end surface of the battery holder 3 is provided with a through hole 34, and a diameter of the through hole 34 is matched with an outer diameter of the jacking post 7. When the battery 4 is disassembled, the battery cover 5 is pulled down to drive the battery holder 3 to move down, and the jacking post 7 can be inserted into the through hole 34 during the downward movement of the battery holder 3, thereby ejecting the battery 4 out from the battery holder 3. Efficiency of replacing the battery 4 can be improved by providing the jacking post 7.

[0043] When the battery 4 of the auxiliary device needs to be replaced, the user first rotates the battery cover 5 to drive the battery holder 3 to rotate synchronously, so that the clamping block 32 is separated from the limiting block 110. Next, the battery cover 5 is pulled down to drive the battery holder 3 to move downward, and the jacking post 7 passes through the through hole 34 of the battery holder 3 during the downward movement of the battery holder 3, thereby ejecting the battery 4 out from the battery holder 3, which facilitates the user to take out and install the battery 4. The battery holder 3 will compress the elastic piece 6 during the downward movement. After the battery 4 is installed, the user will release the pulling force on the battery cover 5, and under an elastic force of the elastic piece 6, the battery holder 3 and the battery cover 5 will be driven to move upward, so that the battery 4 is connected with the connecting piece 23. Then, the battery cover 5 is rotated to make the clamping block 32 be abutted against the limiting block 110. Subsequently, the battery cover 5 is rotated to make the clamping block 32 be abutted against the limiting block 110.

[0044] When the auxiliary device is used for calibrating the aiming of the firearm, firstly, the first sealing piece 14 or the second sealing piece 17 adapted to the caliber of the firearm is sleeved on the limiting end. Then, the limiting end is inserted into the barrel, so that the first sealing piece 14 or the second sealing piece 17 is abutted against the inner wall of the barrel, and the first frustum inclined surface 12 is abutted against an end portion of the inner wall of the barrel, thereby fixing the auxiliary device on the firearm. By rotating the battery cover 5, the battery holder 3 is driven to rotate, and the connecting piece 31 is connected with the shell 1, so that the laser 21 is powered on to work and emits red light beams. By adjusting a front sight and a rear sight, the user can adjust a gap of the rear sight, the front sight and a point of irradiation of the laser to one straight line, thus completing the aiming calibration of the firearm.
