Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application claims the priority of Chinese patent application No. 202510511492.9, filed on Apr. 22, 2025, and Chinese patent application No. 202620223233.6, filed on Feb. 24, 2026, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of shooting equipment or facility, and specifically to a multi-target device and a shooting equipment.BACKGROUND

[0003] In shooting activities such as competitions, training, and entertainment, reactive targets (which, for example, can provide immediate visual feedback like falling down / rotating upon being hit) are widely popular. However, their reset operation is relatively troublesome, usually requiring significant additional investment of manpower, material resources, or equipment costs. Currently, targets on the market, after being struck and knocked down once, cannot be used again. They require manual righting back to their original position before they can be shot again, which is cumbersome to operate and offers poor convenience. Furthermore, for a shooter, continuous shooting of two, three, or more multiple targets can train their sustained focus and reaction ability, which is challenging and also makes the corresponding shooting activity more enjoyable for participants, enhancing their shooting experience.SUMMARY

[0004] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a multi-target device and a shooting equipment comprising the multi-target device, which contain multiple reactive targets and are available for continuous shooting. After any main target is knocked down, the main target can be reset by shooting an auxiliary target, thereby enabling the main target to be shot again, and eliminating the inconvenience and trouble of manually righting.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure provides a multi-target device, comprising: a base; a plurality of target plates and a reset mechanism, all arranged on the base; wherein the target plates, in their initial positions, have impact surfaces that are each at least partially exposed towards the same direction, and are respectively pivotally mounted on the base, enabling each target plate to perform a flipping motion when struck on its impact surface; wherein the target plates are configured as one or more main targets and at least one auxiliary target, in which the auxiliary target, through its flipping motion, can trigger the reset mechanism to act, resetting any one or more of the main targets to their initial positions.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the main and auxiliary targets are capable of remaining upright in the initial position state, each main target flips downward when its impact surface is hit, and each auxiliary target flips upward when its impact surface is hit. Wherein, the auxiliary target is arranged to be capable of resetting to its initial position by gravity, or resetting to its initial position by a torsion spring acting between the auxiliary target and the base. Regarding the term “upright”, it should be understood that, within the scope of the present application, it is not strictly required that the main and / or auxiliary targets (or their impact surfaces) stand vertically relative to the ground; in this regard, the term “upright” may include, for example, situations where the main and / or auxiliary targets (or their impact surfaces) are at an angle of 90°±30° relative to the ground.

[0007] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a stop member is provided on the base for limiting the flipping position of the auxiliary target. In this way, it is possible to prevent the auxiliary target from being difficult to reset if its upward flipping amplitude is too large when its impact surface is hit, or in other words, to ensure that the auxiliary target can reset to its initial position under the action of gravity.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reset mechanism comprises reset torsion springs respectively acting between each main target and the base; each main target is respectively provided with a limiting mechanism; wherein, when the main target is hit and flips from the initial position to a limit position, the limiting mechanism is capable of performing a locking action, causing the main target to be locked at the limit position; when the auxiliary target is hit and flips from the initial position, it is capable of driving the limiting mechanism to perform an unlocking action, causing the main target to disengage from the limit position and reset to its initial position under the action of the reset torsion spring.

[0009] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a pin shaft is mounted on the base; the main and auxiliary targets each have a sleeve fitted onto the pin shaft, this pin shaft defining a common pivot axis for the main and auxiliary targets; wherein translational motion of the main target on the pin shaft triggers the limiting mechanism to perform its locking action or unlocking action.

Wherein, when the main target is hit and flips to the limit position, the compression-torsion composite spring presses against the sleeve of the main target and pushes the main target to translate axially along the pin shaft until the limit protrusion is inserted into the limit groove, so that the main target is locked at the limit position; when the auxiliary target is hit and flips, the auxiliary target, via its sleeve, drives the pin shaft to rotate and, based on a cam contour curve, presses the sleeve of the main target and pushes the main target to translate axially along the pin shaft until the limit protrusion leaves the limit groove, causing the main target to disengage from the limit position.

[0014] In this regard, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the compression-torsion composite spring has a coil, a first spring arm, and a second spring arm, the coil is fitted onto the pin shaft, wherein the first spring arm is abutted against a side of the main target away from the base, the second spring arm is abutted against the base, enabling the main target—upon disengaging from the limit position—to reset to its initial position under the action of the torsional restoring force of the spring.

[0096] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, 10 to 16, and 19, the present disclosure provides a resettable linked dual-target device. The dual-target device comprises: a base 1; a first target 2, a second target 3, and a reset mechanism, all arranged on the base 1; wherein the first target 2 and the second target 3 are arranged such that the second target 3 can reset the first target 2 through the reset mechanism. Specifically, after the first target is knocked down, the first target can be reset by shooting the second target, enabling the first target to be shot again, thereby eliminating the inconvenience and trouble of manual righting; wherein, the resettable linked dual-target device provided by the present disclosure is provided with a reset mechanism, and the second target, upon being struck, can reset the first target through this reset mechanism; thus, there is no need for the user to walk from the aiming / shooting position to the target placement location to manually reset the target; instead, the first target can be reset by aiming and shooting at the second target from a distance at the original position, which is highly efficient and convenient.

[0097] According to the present disclosure, the first target 2 and the second target 3 are arranged such that, in their initial positions (i.e., the ready positions for being shot), they have impact surfaces facing at least substantially the same direction, and are respectively pivotally mounted on the base 1, enabling each of them to perform a flipping (or rotating) motion when struck on its impact surface; wherein the reset mechanism is arranged such that the second target 3, through its flipping (or rotating) motion, can trigger the reset mechanism to act, resetting the first target 2 to its initial position.

[0098] Typically, shooting targets are placed upright relative to the ground. Specifically, the first target 2 and the second target 3 are capable of remaining upright in the initial position state, the first target 2 flips downward when its impact surface is hit, and the second target 3 flips upward when its impact surface is hit.

[0099] Regarding the term “upright”, it should be understood that, within the scope of the present application, it is not strictly required that the first target and / or the second target (or their impact surfaces) stand vertically relative to the ground. In this regard, the term “upright” may include, for example, situations where the first target and / or the second target (or their impact surfaces) are at an angle of 90°±30° relative to the ground.

[0100] Especially for the first target 2 located above in the illustrated embodiments, the maintenance of its “upright” posture in the initial position state and its reset after being knocked down are supported and achieved by a torsion spring acting between the first target and the base or between the first target and the second target. In this regard, as needed, a positioning structure of appropriate height or thickness can be considered to be provided at an appropriate position on the base 1, such as the protrusion 10 shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, to ensure that the first target 2 can maintain the desired upright posture in the initial position / reset to the desired upright posture after being knocked down.

[0101] It is suitable that the second target 3 is arranged to be capable of resetting to its initial position by gravity, or resetting to its initial position by a torsion spring acting between the second target 3 and the base 1 or between the second target 3 and the first target 2.

[0102] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second target 3 is arranged to be capable of resetting by gravity. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 to 6, in the vertical direction, the first target 2 is located above, and the second target 3 is located below. When the second target 3 is hit by a bullet shot from left to right as shown in the figure, the second target 3 rotates counterclockwise and tilts upward. At this time, the second target 3 can reset the first target 2 through the reset mechanism, and the second target 3 can automatically rotate clockwise relative to the base 1 under the action of gravity to reset to its initial position; then the user can continue to shoot the first target 2. After the first target 2 is knocked down, the second target 3 can be shot again to reset the first target 2, achieving a convenient and efficient shooting cycle.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 16, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second target 3 is arranged to be capable of resetting through a suitably designed reset mechanism (e.g., a torsion spring); in some specific embodiments, the “reset effect of the reset mechanism on the second target 3” can be achieved by a torsion spring with spring arms. In this case, the spring arm of the torsion spring can be pressed against a side of the second target 3 away from the base 1, to apply a torque to the second target 3 through the spring arm of the torsion spring to achieve the reset effect.

[0104] It is suitable that the reset mechanism comprises a torsion spring acting between the first target and the base or between the first target and the second target, and the dual-target device further comprises a limiting mechanism; wherein, when the first target 2 is hit and flips from the initial position to a limit position, the limiting mechanism is capable of performing a locking action, causing the first target 2 to be locked at the limit position; when the second target 3 is hit and flips from the initial position, it is capable of driving the limiting mechanism to perform an unlocking action, causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position and reset to its initial position under the action of the torsion spring of the reset mechanism.

[0105] Thus, after the first target 2 is knocked down, i.e., in a state where the first target 2 has flipped-particularly preferably locked at the limit position-the second target 3 can, through its flipping motion, particularly by first driving the limiting mechanism to unlock, i.e., releasing the first target 2 from the limit position, trigger the reset mechanism to act, causing the first target 2 (particularly based on the loading action of the torsion spring of the reset mechanism) to reset to its initial position.

[0106] In this regard, it can be further set: a pin shaft 11 is mounted on the base 1; the first target 2 and the second target 3 each have a sleeve fitted onto the pin shaft 11, this pin shaft defining a common pivot axis for the first target 2 and the second target 3; and the first target 2 and the second target 3 are guided by their respective sleeves to be translatable axially along the pin shaft; wherein translational motion of the first target 2 on the pin shaft 11 triggers the limiting mechanism to perform its locking action or unlocking action.

[0107] In this regard, it can be set: when the limiting mechanism performs its unlocking action, the translational motion of the first target 2 on the pin shaft 11 is actualized through an end-face cam transmission structure, in such a way that: as the second target 3 performs its flipping motion, the second target 3, during rotation around the pivot axis, directly or indirectly presses and pushes the first target 2 to translate axially along the pin shaft based on a cam contour curve. The design of the end-face cam transmission structure (particularly its cam contour curve) will be further explained below.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as described above, the dual-target device further comprises a limiting mechanism; wherein, when the first target 2 is struck and moved from the initial position to the limit position, the limiting mechanism can cause the first target 2 to be locked at the limit position. Referring to FIGS. 3 to 8 and 11 to 16, both of these specific forms of dual-target devices are provided with corresponding limiting mechanisms to achieve the limit position for the first target 2.

[0109] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 8 and 11 to 14, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a pin shaft 11 is mounted on the base 1; both the reset mechanism and the limiting mechanism are connected to the pin shaft 11.

[0110] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 8 and 10 to 12, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a fixed block 12 is provided on the base 1, the pin shaft 11 is mounted in the fixed block 12; the fixed block 12 is provided with an insertion hole, one end of the pin shaft 11 is inserted and fixed into the insertion hole of the fixed block 12.

[0111] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7 and 10 to 14, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting mechanism comprises a limit block 13, the limit block 13 is mounted on the base 1, an end of the pin shaft 11 away from the fixed block 12 is mounted in the limit block 13.

[0112] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6 and 11 to 14, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the portion of the limit block 13 between the initial position and the limit position is designed in an arc shape; wherein the limit block 13 has a limit groove 131, an opening direction of the limit groove 131 faces away from the base 1; the first target 2 is provided with a limit protrusion 21; wherein, when the first target 2 enters the limit position, the limit protrusion 21 is inserted into the limit groove 131.

[0114] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, 11 to 14, 20 and 21, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first target 2 and the second target 3 each have a sleeve, the sleeves of the first target 2 and the second target 3 are both fitted onto the pin shaft 11, enabling the first target 2 and the second target 3 to rotate relative to the pin shaft 11. It is worth noting that, in addition to being able to achieve rotation via its own sleeve and the pin shaft 11, the first target 2 can also achieve translation along the axial direction of the pin shaft 11; the second target 3, in addition to being able to achieve rotation via its own sleeve and the pin shaft 11, can also achieve translation along the axial direction of the pin shaft 11.

[0115] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting mechanism comprises a limit compression spring 4, the limit compression spring 4 is fitted onto the pin shaft 11, one end of the limit compression spring 4 bears against the fixed block 12, and another end bears against the sleeve of the first target 2, wherein, when the first target 2 is struck and flips to the limit position (corresponding to a predetermined pivot angle position of the first target), under the pressing action of the limit compression spring 4 against the sleeve of the first target 2, the first target 2 moves axially along the pin shaft 11, and its limit protrusion 21 is inserted into the limit groove 131 or the limit recess 132, thereby being locked at the limit position; after the second target 3 is struck, the sleeve of the second target 3 presses the sleeve of the first target 2, causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position. It is worth noting that during installation, the limit compression spring 4 can be pre-compressed to a certain extent, so that the limit compression spring 4 has a certain elastic potential energy, giving it the ability to press tightly and even push the sleeve of the first target 2 along the axial direction of the pin shaft 11.

[0116] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13 and 16, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting mechanism comprises a compression-torsion composite spring 7, i.e., a spring element that can simultaneously withstand compression and torsion loads and is constructed as one piece. The compression-torsion composite spring 7 is fitted onto the pin shaft 11, one end of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 bears against the limit block 13, and another end bears against the sleeve of the first target 2, wherein, when the first target 2 is struck and moved to the limit position, the compression-torsion composite spring 7 presses the sleeve of the first target 2, so that the first target 2 is locked at the limit position; after the second target 3 is struck, the sleeve of the second target 3 presses the sleeve of the first target 2, causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position. It is worth noting that during installation, the spring arm of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 can be pre-compressed to a certain extent, so that the compression-torsion composite spring 7 has a certain elastic potential energy, giving it the ability to apply torque along the circumferential direction of the pin shaft 11 to the sleeve of the first target 2 to press tightly and even push the first target 2 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the pin shaft 11.

[0117] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13 and 16, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the compression-torsion composite spring 7 forms a spring element integrating a helical compression spring and a butterfly torsion spring, comprising a coil 73, a first spring arm 74, and a second spring arm 75, the coil 73 is fitted onto the pin shaft 11, wherein the first spring arm 74 is abutted against a side of the first target 2 away from the base 1, the second spring arm 75 is abutted against a side of the second target 3 away from the base 1, enabling both the first target 2 and the second target 3 to reset to their respective initial positions. It is worth noting that during installation, the spring arm of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 can be pre-compressed to a certain extent, so that the compression-torsion composite spring 7 has a certain elastic potential energy, giving it the ability to apply torque along the circumferential direction of the pin shaft 11 to the sleeve of the first target 2 to press tightly and even push the first target 2 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the pin shaft 11.

[0118] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the compression-torsion composite spring 7 comprises a coil 73, a first spring arm 74, and a second spring arm 75, the coil 73 is fitted onto the pin shaft 11, the first spring arm 74 is abutted against a side of the first target 2 away from the base 1, the second spring arm 75 is abutted against the base 1, enabling the first target 2 to return to its initial position. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the coil 73 of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 can be pre-compressed to a certain extent during installation to enhance the fixing effect between the compression-torsion composite spring 7 and the pin shaft 11, making the opening effect of the two spring arms of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 more secure.

[0119] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13, 16, and 22 to 28, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first target 2 is provided with a limit hook 22, the limit hook 22 extends from the first target 2 to a side of the limit block 13 away from the first target 2, and the limit hook 22 can engage into the limit groove 131 or the limit recess 132.

[0120] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 13 and 16, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, as the end-face cam transmission structure, the sleeve of the first target 2 and the sleeve of the second target 3 have cooperating inclined surfaces, such that when the second target 3 is hit and rotates, the inclined surface of the sleeve of the second target 3 presses against the inclined surface of the first target 2, causing the first target 2 to translate relative to the pin shaft 11, enabling the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position. Specifically, when the target face of the second target 3 is hit and rotates around the pin shaft 11 in a direction away from the base 1, the sleeve of the second target 3 will also rotate around the pin shaft 11 driven by its target face. One end of the first target 2 away from the second target 3 bears against the fixed block 12 and cannot move left. Since the sleeve of the first target 2 and the sleeve of the second target 3 have cooperating inclined surfaces, the second target 3 can only move right along the axial direction of the pin shaft 11 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 16, thereby the limit protrusion 21 or the limit hook 22 can be released from the limit groove 131 or the limit recess 132; at the same time, the second target 3 compresses the coil of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 to the right, enabling the coil of the compression-torsion composite spring 7 to automatically expand when the first target 2 is next hit and approaches the limit position, to push the limit protrusion 21 or the limit hook 22 on the first target 2 to the limit position, thereby achieving the next limiting function for the first target 2.

[0121] Referring to FIGS. 29 to 31, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reset mechanism comprises a reset sleeve 6, the reset sleeve 6 is mounted on the pin shaft 11; as the end-face cam transmission structure, one end of the reset sleeve 6 and the sleeve of the second target 3 have cooperating inclined surfaces, such that when the second target 3 is hit and rotates, the inclined surface of the second target 3 presses against the inclined surface of the reset sleeve 6, causing the second target 3 to translate away from the reset sleeve 6 and causing the first target 2 to translate relative to the pin shaft 11, thereby enabling the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position. The mark “A” in FIG. 29 indicates the location of the cooperating inclined surfaces between the reset sleeve 6 and the second target 3; the mark “B” in FIG. 29 indicates the location of the contact surface between the sleeve of the second target 3 and the sleeve of the first target 2. Specifically, when the second target 3 is hit by a bullet and rotates circumferentially around the pin shaft 11, meanwhile the inclined surface of the second target 3 cooperates with and rotates relative to the inclined surface on the reset sleeve 6. The inclined surface of the reset sleeve 6 applies a reaction force to the sleeve of the second target 3. Under the action of this reaction force, the sleeve of the second target 3 translates axially along the pin shaft 11, thereby pushing the sleeve of the first target 2, and causing the limit hook 22 on the first target 2 to disengage from the limit groove 131 on the limit block 13; thus, under the action of the compression-torsion composite spring 7, the first target 2 is pushed back to the original position by the first spring arm 74 of the compression-torsion composite spring 7; in some embodiments, after completing the task of “resetting the first target 2”, the second target 3 can reset automatically under gravity, in which case the second spring arm 75 bears against the base 1; alternatively, the second target 3 resets under the action of the second spring arm 75 of the compression-torsion composite spring 7, in which case the second spring arm 75 bears against the second target 3.

[0122] Referring to FIGS. 29 to 31, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, along the axial direction of the pin shaft 11, from left to right are arranged: the fixed block 12, the reset sleeve 6, the sleeve of the second target 3, the sleeve of the first target 2, and the limit block 13. When the second target 3 is hit and rotates, the inclined surface of the second target 3 rotates relative to the inclined surface of the reset sleeve 6. The reset sleeve 6 applies a reaction force to the inclined surface of the second target 3, causing the sleeve of the second target 3 to translate to the right, thereby pushing the sleeve of the first target 2 also to translate to the right, causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position, and then reset under the action of the compression-torsion composite spring 7.

[0123] It is worth noting that the shooting equipment provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure shown in FIGS. 29 to 31 (which includes the above-described resettable linked dual-target device) differs mainly from the shooting equipment provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure shown in FIGS. 10 to 15 (which includes the above-described resettable linked dual-target device) in that: the “cooperating inclined surfaces” (as the end-face cam transmission structure) in the former are provided between the sleeve of the second target 3 and the reset sleeve 6. After the second target 3 is hit by a bullet and rotates circumferentially around the pin shaft 11, the inclined surface of the second target 3 rotates and presses against the inclined surface of the reset sleeve 6, then the reset sleeve 6 provides a reaction force and causes the second target 3 to translate axially along the pin shaft 11 away from the reset sleeve 6, enabling the sleeve of the second target 3 to push the sleeve of the first target 2, thereby causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position and reset; the “cooperating inclined surfaces” (as the end-face cam transmission structure) in the latter are provided between the sleeve of the first target 2 and the sleeve of the second target3. After the second target 3 is hit by a bullet and rotates circumferentially around the pin shaft 11, the inclined surface on the sleeve of the second target 3 pushes the sleeve of the first target 2, causing the first target 2 to translate axially along the pin shaft 11, thereby causing the first target 2 to disengage from the limit position and reset.

[0141] Regarding the end-face cam transmission structure, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the inclined surface is an inclined plane.

[0142] Referring to FIGS. 22 to 28, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the inclined surface exhibits a convex tip 76. It is worth noting that, in specific embodiments, whether adopting the design concept of “first target 2+second target 3″ in the form of single sleeves or the design concept of ”first target 2+reset sleeve 6+second target 3″ in the form of dual sleeves, the above-mentioned inclined surface construction can be of the same form or different forms, which can be combined and matched according to actual scenarios.

When the second target 3 rotates, the above reset process can be triggered, which will not be repeated here. In addition, the plate-shaped base 1 can be designed with corresponding target patterns.

[0150] Finally, regarding the relative positions of the first target 2 and the second target 3 (or their impact surfaces), as mentioned above, in the vertical direction, the first target 2 is located above, and the second target 3 is located below; in the horizontal direction, the first target 2 and the second target 3 can be arranged laterally aligned (e.g., the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 20) or laterally offset (e.g., the embodiment shown in FIG. 10), which is not limited by the present application.

[0151] Especially for the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 20, a beneficial local improvement design is further proposed here. Considering that when the first target 2 has already flipped (downward), and when the second target 3 is hit and flips (upward), it triggers the reset mechanism to act, causing the first target 2 to flip (upward) and reset. During this process, the second target 3 may collide with the first target 2 at high speed, causing the kinetic energy of the first target 2 flipping (upward) and resetting to be too large. If it collides with other basic structural components at its reset endpoint, such as the plate-shaped base 1, etc., then, to some extent, there is a probability that the first target 2 may rebound and fall over (flip downward) unexpectedly. In view of this, the present application proposes adding a measure for limiting the (upward) flip endpoint position of the second target 3 to prevent it from hitting the first target 2. As shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, a protruding stop block 3-1 can be provided on the second target 3 (e.g., on its sleeve). This stop block contacts a basic structural component (e.g., the base 1) when the second target 3's (upward) flipping motion reaches a predetermined pivot angle position, thereby stopping the second target 3 from continuing to flip (upward). The travel of the second target 3's flipping motion corresponding to this predetermined pivot angle position should at least be sufficient to trigger the action of the reset mechanism, while preferably not reaching the degree of the first target 2's limit position. FIG. 21B shows a state where the stop block 3-1 contacts and bears against the plate surface of the base 1, preventing the second target 3 from flipping upward. Regarding the material and structure of the stop block 3-1 and its connection to the second target 3, it can be a metal block welded to the sleeve of the second target 3 as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, or a welded or screwed protrusion, bolt, pin, etc.; it can also be constituted as or equipped with a plastic column, buffer pad, etc., which is not limited by the present application.

[0152] Additionally, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, handles H can be provided on the first target 2 and / or the second target 3 to facilitate operations such as lifting, carrying, moving, disassembling, and assembling this dual-target device when necessary.

[0153] It is worth noting that, in addition to achieving the above effect of conveniently resetting the first target 2, the above-described resettable linked dual-target device provided by the present disclosure can also achieve the following intuitive prompt function: When the first target 2 is hit, the first target 2 leaves its initial position (flips and falls), which can be recognized by the user from their position; then, continue shooting the second target 3. If the second target 3 is hit, the first target 2 resets and is seen by the user, who can then confirm that the second target 3 was hit; if the second target 3 is not hit, the first target 2 does not reset, and the user can determine that the second target 3 was not hit. It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present disclosure, if a plate-shaped base 1 is used, the plate-shaped base 1 may block the view of the second target 3.Second Aspect

[0154] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 19, the present disclosure provides a shooting equipment. The shooting equipment comprises: the above-described resettable linked dual-target device; and a target mount, the dual-target device being mounted on the target mount. The shooting equipment of the present application may include one or more dual-target devices proposed by the present application, and may also include one or more other forms of shooting target(s) or target device(s). In the shooting equipment of the present application, a plurality of dual-target devices of the present application (interconnected and / or combined with other forms of shooting target(s) or target device(s)) can be assembled, combined, joined, or arranged in any suitable manner to form multi-target equipment and / or shooting range facility. It should be understood that these variations all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0155] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 17 to 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target mount comprises: an upright column 8; and an assembly seat 9, mounted on the upright column 8, the base 1 of the dual-target device being mounted on the assembly seat 9. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the upright column 8 can be wood or steel pipe, which can be selected and adjusted according to the actual application scenario.

[0156] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 17 to 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the assembly seat 9 is in the shape of a lidless cube, which is inverted and fitted onto the top end of the upright column 8.

[0157] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 17 to 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the assembly seat 9 is provided with two support plates 91 arranged parallel to each other, the two support plates 91 are provided with upward-facing notches 92; the base 1 of the dual-target device is mounted in the notches 92 of the two support plates 91, so that the dual-target device is mounted on the target mount.

[0158] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 17 to 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom of the base 1 extends to form a protrusion plate 14; the base 1 of the dual-target device is mounted in the notches 92 of the two support plates 91, and thus the protrusion plate 14 is located between the two support plates 91.

[0159] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the assembly seat 9 is provided with a set screw hole, the top surface of the lidless cube-shaped assembly seat 9 has an insertion slot gap 94, the top surface of the assembly seat 9 contacts the top end of the upright column 8, a shim 95 is inserted into the insertion slot gap 94, this shim 95 is installed between an inner wall surface of one side of the assembly seat 9 and the side wall of the upright column 8; a set screw 96 is screwed into the set screw hole, one end of the set screw 96 bears against the shim 95 to secure the assembly seat 9 to the upright column 8. It is worth noting that in some implementations, wood with a relatively soft texture is used as the upright column 8. In order to enhance the firmness between the assembly seat 9 and the upright column 8 in this case, the set screw 96 can be screwed in through the set screw hole on the assembly seat 9 to press against the wood upright column 8; however, some wood is relatively soft, so it is necessary to add the aforementioned shim 95, place the shim 95 between the upright column 8 and the inner wall surface of one side of the assembly seat 9, and let the set screw 96 screwed in via the set screw hole press against this shim 95, which in turn presses against the wood upright column 8, thereby achieving firm installation between the assembly seat 9 and the wood upright column 8.

[0160] As shown in FIGS. 32-44, the present disclosure herein provides a multi-target device 100, comprising: a base 110; a plurality of target plates 120 and a reset mechanism 130, all arranged on the base. Each target plate 120, in its initial position, has an impact surface that is at least partially exposed towards the same direction, and is respectively pivotally mounted on the base 110, enabling each target plate to perform a flipping motion when struck on its impact surface. The target plates 120 are configured as one or more main targets 121 and at least one auxiliary target 122, in which the auxiliary target, through its flipping motion, can trigger the reset mechanism 130 to act, resetting any one or more of the main targets to their initial positions.

[0161] The illustrated embodiments all take the configuration of three main targets plus one auxiliary target as an example. It is understandable that the present application is not limited thereto.

[0162] Thus, the present disclosure provides a multi-target device comprising multiple (e.g., two, three, or more) reactive targets and available for continuous shooting. After any main target is knocked down, shooting an auxiliary target can reset the main target, allowing the main target to be shot again, thereby eliminating the inconvenience and trouble of manually righting it. A reset mechanism is provided in the multi-target device of the present disclosure, and the auxiliary target, after being shot, can reset (one or more) main targets via this reset mechanism. Thus, the user does not need to walk from the aiming / shooting position to the target placement location to manually reset the target; instead, the main target can be reset by aiming and shooting at the auxiliary target from a distance at the original position, which is highly efficient and convenient.

[0163] The main target 121 (usually located at the top, e.g., two, three, or more) can be configured as a “headshot target”, and the auxiliary target 122 (usually located at the bottom, e.g., one) can be configured as a “heart target”. In this way, a continuous shooting mode is allowed, which involves multiple consecutive aimed headshots at the main targets and a single aimed shot at the auxiliary target to reset all targets, achieving a thoroughly enjoyable shooting experience.

[0164] Typically, shooting targets are placed upright relative to the ground. Specifically, the main target 121 and the auxiliary target 122 are capable of remaining upright in the initial position state, the main target 121 flips downward when its impact surface is hit, and the auxiliary target 122 flips upward when its impact surface is hit.

[0165] Regarding the term “upright”, it should be understood that, within the scope of the present application, it is not strictly required that the main and / or auxiliary targets (or their impact surfaces) stand vertically relative to the ground; in this regard, the term “upright” may include, for example, situations where the main and / or auxiliary targets (or their impact surfaces) are at an angle of 90°±30° relative to the ground.

[0166] Here, the auxiliary target 122 is arranged to be capable of resetting to its initial position by gravity, or resetting to its initial position by a torsion spring acting between the auxiliary target and the base.

[0167] Especially as shown in FIGS. 34, 37, 39, and 43, preferably, a stop member 160 is provided on the base 110 for limiting the flipping position of the auxiliary target 122, for example, a bar arranged between transverse plates 1101 and 1102, to prevent the auxiliary target from being difficult to reset if its upward flipping amplitude is too large when its impact surface is hit, or in other words, to ensure that the auxiliary target can reset to its initial position under the action of gravity.

[0168] Especially as shown in FIGS. 34-37 and 39-43, the reset mechanism 130 comprises reset torsion springs 131 respectively acting between each main target 121 and the base 110; each main target is respectively provided with a limiting mechanism 140; wherein, when the main target 121 is hit and flips from the initial position to a limit position (corresponding to a predetermined pivot angle position of the main target), the limiting mechanism is capable of performing a locking action, causing that main target to be locked at the limit position; when the auxiliary target 122 is hit and flips from the initial position, it is capable of driving the limiting mechanism 140 to perform an unlocking action, causing the main target to disengage from the limit position and reset to its initial position under the action of the reset torsion spring 131.

[0169] As shown in FIGS. 34-37 and 39-43, a pin shaft 150 is mounted on the base 110; the main target 121 and the auxiliary target 122 each have a sleeve fitted onto the pin shaft, this pin shaft defining a common pivot axis for the main target and the auxiliary target; wherein translational motion of the main target 121 on the pin shaft 150 triggers the limiting mechanism to perform its locking action or unlocking action.

[0170] As shown in FIGS. 37 and 43, the pin shaft 150 comprises a first shaft segment 151 and a second shaft segment 152, the first shaft segment 151 and the second shaft segment 152 are configured as an integral unit or are fixedly connected in a torsion-resistant manner by a coupling; the main targets 121 are rotatably connected via their respective sleeves 1211 to the first shaft segment 151 and are guided to be translatable axially along the pin shaft, and the auxiliary target 122 is fixedly connected via its sleeve 1221 to the second shaft segment 152. It is understandable that designing the long pin shaft 150 as a split structure, i.e., comprising the first shaft segment 151 and the second shaft segment 152 connected by a coupling, is beneficial for component processing and device assembly. In this way, especially, the manufacturing precision of the shaft body and assembly process requirements are not high, making them easy to control.

[0171] According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, when the limiting mechanism performs its unlocking action, the translational motion of the related main target 121 on the pin shaft 150 is actualized through an end-face cam transmission structure, in such a way that: as the auxiliary target 122 performs its flipping motion, the auxiliary target, during rotation around the pivot axis, drives the pin shaft 150 to rotate, thereby pressing and pushing the main target 121 to translate axially along the pin shaft based on a cam contour curve. The specific shape and dimensions of the end-face cam transmission structure (especially its cam contour curve) can be directly designed by those skilled in the art according to the corresponding motion / transmission relationship, and thus are not elaborated herein.

[0172] According to a specific structural design of the present disclosure, especially as shown in FIGS. 37 and 43, the base 110 comprises an elongated main body 111, on which a plurality of transverse plates (indicated as 1101, 1102, 141 in the figures) are fixed, arranged spaced apart along the axial direction of the pin shaft 150; each transverse plate is provided with an insertion hole for mounting and supporting the pin shaft 150, the pin shaft and the insertion hole are dimensionally matched such that the pin shaft, within each insertion hole, is translatable axially along the pin shaft and rotatable about the pivot axis; the transverse plates include limit blocks 141 respectively corresponding to the main targets 121 one by one and associated to the respective limiting mechanisms 140 thereof, the limit blocks have limit grooves 1411, the main targets 121 are provided with limit protrusions 1212; wherein, when the related main target enters the limit position, the respective limit protrusion is inserted into the respective limit groove. As shown, the main body 111 of the base 110 can be formed by bending or welding metal plates, the various transverse plates can be welded and fixed thereon. Furthermore, end plates 112, 113 can be provided (e.g., welded and fixed) at both ends of the main body to enhance its overall strength and appearance regularity.

[0173] Here, preferably, as shown in FIGS. 37 and 43, the limit block 141 has a stop ledge 1412, when the main target 121 resets to or remains in its initial position, a local structural section of the main target 121, under the action of the reset torsion spring 131, abuts against the stop ledge, as shown in FIGS. 34, 39, and 40. In this way, the main target 121 (or its impact surface) can be maintained in the desired upright posture in the initial position / and can be reset to the desired upright posture after being knocked down.

[0174] Here, preferably, the reset torsion spring 131 is configured as a compression-torsion composite spring (i.e., a spring element that can simultaneously withstand compressive and torsional loads and is configured as an integral unit), the compression-torsion composite spring is fitted onto the pin shaft 150, the compression-torsion composite spring, while maintaining a pre-compressed state, bears with one end against the limit block 141 and with the other end against the sleeve 1211 of the main target 121. Wherein, when the main target 121 is hit and flips to the limit position, the compression-torsion composite spring presses against the sleeve 1211 of the main target 121 and pushes the main target to translate axially along the pin shaft until the limit protrusion 1212 is inserted into the limit groove 1411, so that the main target is locked at the limit position; when the auxiliary target 122 is hit and flips, the auxiliary target 122, via its sleeve 1221, drives the pin shaft 150 to rotate and, based on a cam contour curve, presses the sleeve 1211 of the main target 121 and pushes the main target (overcoming the force of the compression-torsion composite spring) to translate axially along the pin shaft until the limit protrusion 1212 leaves the limit groove 1411, causing the main target to disengage from the limit position.

[0175] Here, the compression-torsion composite spring has a coil, a first spring arm, and a second spring arm, the coil is fitted onto the pin shaft 150, wherein the first spring arm is abutted against a side of the main target 121 away from the base 110, the second spring arm is abutted against the base, enabling the main target 121—upon disengaging from the limit position—to reset to its initial position under the action of the torsional restoring force of the spring. It is worth noting that when installing the compression-torsion composite spring, its coil should be pre-compressed to a certain extent, giving it (as a compression spring) a certain elastic potential energy, so that it has the ability to press and even push the sleeve of the main target 121 axially along the pin shaft. At the same time, its spring arms should be pre-compressed to a certain extent, giving it (as a torsion spring) a certain elastic potential energy, so that it has the ability to apply torque circumferentially along the pin shaft to the sleeve of the main target 121 to press and even drive the main target 121 to rotate circumferentially around the pin shaft.

[0176] According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 34-38, the reset mechanism comprises a reset sleeve 132A and pressing sleeves 132B respectively

[0177] corresponding to the main targets 121 (plural, three in the illustrated embodiment)—one by one, the reset sleeve is fitted onto the pin shaft 150, the pressing sleeves are respectively fitted onto the pin shaft 150 and are fixed to the pin shaft 150; wherein, as the end-face cam transmission structure, one end of the reset sleeve 132A and the sleeve 1221 of the auxiliary target 122 have cooperating inclined surfaces, the other end of the reset sleeve 132A is fixed to the base 110 (e.g., fixedly installed on the transverse plate 1101), such that when the auxiliary target is hit and rotates and drives the pin shaft 150 to rotate, the inclined surface of the auxiliary target presses against the inclined surface of the reset sleeve, causing the auxiliary target 122 together with the pin shaft 150 to translate away from the reset sleeve 132A, and via the pressing sleeves 132B, push the main target 121 to translate axially along the pin shaft, thereby enabling the main target to disengage from the limit position.
