[0075] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0076] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0077] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0078] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0079] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.
[0080] This application proposes a launcher 300, which will be described in detail below in conjunction with a launch toy. As shown in Figures 2, 4, 5, and 6, the launch toy includes a projectile and a launcher 300. The projectile is placed in the launcher 300. The launcher 300, through the interaction of a first launching mechanism 1000, a second launching mechanism 2000, and a switching mechanism 3000, can achieve at least two launch modes for the projectile, enhancing user enjoyment. It should be understood that the so-called launch modes, i.e., the different launch angles, speeds, and states of the projectile, can be achieved. As long as the motion of the projectile from launch to stop by the first launching mechanism 1000 and the motion of the projectile from launch to stop by the second launching mechanism 2000 are different, they can be considered to be two launch modes. The projectile launched by the first launching mechanism 1000 and the projectile launched by the second launching mechanism 2000 can be the same or different. In the following description, an example is given in which the object launched by the first launching mechanism 1000 is different from the object launched by the second launching mechanism 2000 . The object launched by the first launching mechanism 1000 is defined as the first object 100 , and the object launched by the second launching mechanism 2000 is defined as the second object 200 .
[0081] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, 6, 8 and 10 to 13, the launcher 300 includes a base 5000, a first launching mechanism 1000, a second launching mechanism 2000, a release mechanism 4000 and a switching mechanism 3000. The base 5000 is suitable for placing the first projectile 100 and the second projectile 200. The first launching mechanism 1000 is set on the base 5000 and is suitable for generating a force on the first projectile 100 so that the first projectile 100 is launched and separated from the base 5000. The second launching mechanism 2000 is set on the base 5000 and is suitable for generating a force on the second projectile 200 so that the second projectile 200 is launched and separated from the base 5000. The release mechanism 4000 can The switching mechanism 3000 is movably disposed on the base 5000 so as to be movable between a first position and a second position. When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, the release mechanism 4000 is adapted to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000, causing the first launching mechanism 1000 to generate a force on the first object to be launched 100, thereby launching the first object to be launched 100 and releasing it from the base 5000. When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the second position, the release mechanism 4000 is adapted to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the second launching mechanism 2000, causing the second launching mechanism 2000 to generate a force on the second object to be launched 200, thereby launching the second object to be launched 200 and releasing it from the base 5000.
[0082] The switching mechanism 3000 switches between the first position and the second position. When the switching mechanism 3000 is switched to the first position, the release mechanism 4000 can cooperate with the first launching mechanism 1000 through the switching mechanism 3000 to launch the first projectile 100 (a first launching mode). When the switching mechanism 3000 is switched to the second position, the release mechanism 4000 can cooperate with the second launching mechanism 2000 through the switching mechanism 3000 to launch the second projectile 200 (a second launching mode). In this way, the first projectile 100 and the second projectile 200 can be selectively placed on the base 5000 and then launched. Of course, the first projectile 100 and the second projectile 200 can be placed together in the launcher 300. By adjusting the position of the switching mechanism 3000 according to actual gameplay requirements, the first projectile 100 or the second projectile 200 can also be selectively launched, providing more gameplay and improving convenience and fun.
[0083] Specifically, the first projectile 100 and the second projectile 200 are two different components, including but not limited to differences in shape, size, and / or structure. For example, in this embodiment, the first projectile 100 is a flat wafer, while the second projectile 200 is a transformable vehicle. A transformable vehicle is one that can switch between different forms (this includes but is not limited to rotation, deformation, or folding). For example, a transformable vehicle can switch between car and robot forms. The first projectile 100 and the second projectile 200 are placed together on the launcher 300. "Placing together on the launcher 300" here means that when the first projectile 100 is placed on the launcher 300, the second projectile 200 can also be placed on the launcher 300. When the second projectile 200 is placed on the launcher 300, the first projectile 100 can also be placed on the launcher 300. The launcher 300 can be shaped like a pistol, making it easier for children to hold and operate. Of course, the launcher 300 can also have other shapes, which are not limited in this embodiment. The transmitter 300 selectively transmits the first object 100 or the second object 200 through the following scheme.
[0084] The launcher 300 includes a base 5000, a first launching mechanism 1000, a second launching mechanism 2000, a release mechanism 4000, and a switching mechanism 3000. The base 5000, the first launching mechanism 1000, the second launching mechanism 2000, the release mechanism 4000, and the switching mechanism 3000 cooperate to achieve selective launch of the first object 100 or the second object 200.
[0085] The base 5000 serves as the foundation for the assembly of various components. It forms the general shape of the launcher 300, and both the first and second projectiles 100 and 200 need to be placed on the base 5000. For example, as shown in FIG5 , the base 5000 comprises a receiving cavity 5210, a flip cover 5220, and a launch port 5230. The receiving cavity 5210 is upwardly open and has a certain volume. The launch port 5230 is connected to the receiving cavity 5210 and is forwardly open. The flip cover 5220 is rotatably connected to the base 5000 to open and close the receiving cavity 5210. When the flip cover 5220 is opened to open the receiving cavity 5210, the first projectile 100 can be placed into the receiving cavity 5210 from top to bottom, and then launched forward from the launch port 5230 by the first launching mechanism 1000. Optionally, the base 5000 has a mounting platform 5300, which is located above the accommodating cavity 5210. The second projectile 200 can be placed on the mounting platform 5300. The first projectile 100 can be placed in the accommodating cavity 5210 first, and then the flip cover 5220 is closed (the flip cover 5220 constitutes part of the mounting platform 5300). Finally, the second projectile 200 can be placed on the mounting platform. The mounting platform 5300 is open upward and forward, and the second projectile 200 can be launched forward from the mounting platform 5300 under the action of the second launching mechanism 2000.
[0086] Both the first launching mechanism 1000 and the second launching mechanism 2000 are mounted on the base 5000. The first launching mechanism 1000 is a mechanism capable of exerting force on the first projectile 100, while the second launching mechanism 2000 is a mechanism capable of exerting force on the second projectile 200. It should be understood that "generating force" means that the first launching mechanism 1000 can exert a force on the first projectile 100 sufficient to release the first projectile 100 from the base 5000 and launch it. The same is true for the second launching mechanism 2000: the second launching mechanism 2000 can exert a force on the second projectile 200 sufficient to release the second projectile 200 from the base 5000 and launch it. The first launching mechanism 1000 and the second launching mechanism 2000 can have various structural configurations, as long as they can exert sufficient force on the corresponding first and second projectiles 100, 200 to launch them.
[0087] The first launching mechanism 1000 generates a force on the first projectile 100, while the second launching mechanism 2000 generates a force on the second projectile 200. This is achieved in conjunction with the release mechanism 4000 and the switching mechanism 3000. The switching mechanism 3000 is used to switch the connection with the first launching mechanism 1000 or the second launching mechanism 2000 (the connection can be direct or indirect). Therefore, the release mechanism 4000 can selectively trigger the first launching mechanism 1000 or the second launching mechanism 2000, thereby selectively launching the first projectile 100 or the second projectile 200.
[0088] The switching mechanism 3000 is provided on the base 5000 and is movable relative to the base 5000 so as to be switchable to a first position and a second position. The switching mechanism 3000 can move relative to the base 5000 in a variety of ways as long as a position change can occur. For example, in combination with Figures 1 to 4, the switching mechanism 3000 is provided in the base 5000 and protrudes from the left and right sides of the base 5000. When the left side of the switching mechanism 3000 is pressed, the switching mechanism 3000 moves toward the right side and protrudes more relative to the right side of the base 5000. When the right side of the switching mechanism 3000 is pressed, the switching mechanism 3000 moves toward the left side and protrudes more relative to the left side of the base 5000. In this way, the first position and the second position of the switching mechanism 3000 are changed. hereinafter, the switching mechanism 3000 will also be described in this manner. The first position is the position where the right side of the switching mechanism 3000 is pressed so that the switching mechanism 3000 protrudes more toward the left side, and the second position is the position where the left side of the switching mechanism 3000 is pressed so that the switching mechanism protrudes more toward the right side.
[0089] When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, it cooperates with the release mechanism 4000 and the first launching mechanism 1000. At this point, controlling the release mechanism 4000 to move drives the switching mechanism 3000 to actuate, which in turn acts on the first launching mechanism 1000. The so-called action of the switching mechanism 3000 on the first launching mechanism 1000 triggers the first launching mechanism 1000, causing it to generate a force on the first projectile 100, thereby launching the first projectile 100. It is understandable that when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position and the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, the switching mechanism 3000 will not have any effect on the second launching mechanism 2000, that is, the second launching mechanism 2000 will not be triggered. For example, when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, the switching mechanism 3000 and the second launching mechanism 2000 are separated, and the release mechanism 4000 can only drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000, and the switching mechanism 3000 will not act on the second launching mechanism 2000. Therefore, the second projectile 200 will not be launched at this time.
[0090] When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the second position, it cooperates with the release mechanism 4000 and the second launching mechanism 2000. At this point, controlling the release mechanism 4000 to move drives the switching mechanism 3000 to actuate, which in turn acts on the second launching mechanism 2000. The so-called action of the switching mechanism 3000 on the second launching mechanism 2000 triggers the second launching mechanism 2000, causing it to generate a force on the second projectile 200, thereby launching the second projectile 200. Similar to when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the second position and the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, the switching mechanism 3000 will not have any effect on the first launching mechanism 1000, that is, the first launching mechanism 1000 will not be triggered. For example, when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the second position, the switching mechanism 3000 and the first launching mechanism 1000 are separated, and the release mechanism 4000 can only drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the second launching mechanism 2000, and the switching mechanism 3000 will not act on the first launching mechanism 1000. Therefore, the first projectile 100 will not be launched at this time.
[0091] The first and second projectiles 100 and 200 can be placed together in the launcher 300. Since the switching mechanism 3000 needs to switch between the first and second positions, the release mechanism 4000 needs to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to operate. In other words, the switching mechanism 3000 and the release mechanism 4000 can be controlled by a child. When the first projectile 100 needs to be launched, the child operates the switching mechanism 3000 to the first position and then operates the release mechanism 4000, so that the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, thereby triggering the first launching mechanism 1000 to launch the first projectile 100. When the second projectile 200 needs to be launched, the child operates the switching mechanism 3000 to the second position and then operates the release mechanism 4000, so that the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, thereby triggering the second launching mechanism 2000 to launch the second projectile 200. Children can selectively launch the first object 100 and the second object 200 by operating the switching mechanism 3000 and the releasing mechanism 4000, thereby improving the convenience and fun of use.
[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in conjunction with Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, the first launching mechanism 1000 includes a retaining buckle 1100 and a first push rod 1200. The retaining buckle 1100 is adapted to be elastically deformed. The retaining buckle 1100 is C-shaped to have a receiving cavity 1110 and an opening 1120 communicating with the receiving cavity 1110. The first object 100 is adapted to be placed in the receiving cavity 1110. The width of the first object 100 is greater than the width of the opening 1120. When the switching mechanism 3000 acts on the first launching mechanism 1000, the first push rod 1200 moves toward the first object 100 and supports the first object 100, so that the first object 100 passes through the opening 1120. The first object 100 is adapted to be squeezed by the retaining buckle 1100 when passing through the opening 1120 to be launched and released from the base 5000.
[0093] Specifically, the retaining buckle 1100 can achieve elastic deformation. For example, the retaining buckle 1100 is an injection-molded part with a certain flexibility. The retaining buckle 1100 can be set on the base 5000. The accommodating cavity 1110 is open in the up and down directions and is arranged below the accommodating cavity 5210 and is connected to the accommodating cavity 5210. The first object to be launched 100 can be placed in the accommodating cavity 5210 from top to bottom and then fall into the accommodating cavity 1110. The opening 1120 is open to the front and is connected to the launch port 5230. The first object to be launched 100 can be launched from the accommodating cavity 1110 through the opening 1120 and the launch port 5230 in sequence.
[0094] Since the width of the first projectile 100 is greater than the width of the opening 1120, the width of the opening 1120 is the distance between the two ends of the retaining buckle 1100. When the first projectile 100 is placed in the accommodating cavity 1110, the first projectile 100 will not leave the accommodating cavity 1110 along the direction of the opening 1120 without external force. When the first projectile 100 needs to be launched, the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000, thereby triggering the first launching mechanism 1000. The first push rod 1200 of the first launching mechanism 1000 moves toward The first projectile 100 moves until it is supported. The first push rod 1200 pushes the first projectile 100 so that the first projectile 100 moves toward the opening 1120 and out of the accommodating chamber 1110. As the first projectile 100 passes through the opening 1120, the first projectile 100 is wider, so the retaining buckle 1100 elastically deforms. At the moment the first projectile 100 passes through the opening 1120, the retaining buckle 1100 returns to its original position, thereby applying force to the first projectile 100, prompting the first projectile 100 to be launched.
[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9, the first object 100 to be launched includes a plurality of objects, the plurality of first objects 100 to be launched are stacked in the vertical direction, and the bottommost first object 100 to be launched is placed in the accommodating cavity 1110. The first push rod 1200 is adapted to support the bottommost first object 100 to be launched. When a plurality of first objects 100 to be launched are included, continuous launch of the plurality of first objects 100 to be launched can be achieved, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0096] Specifically, when the release mechanism 4000 is controlled to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000, the first push rod 1200 supports the first projectile 100 located at the bottom, causing the first projectile 100 located at the bottom to be launched. The first push rod 1200 is then reset (i.e., the first push rod 1200 leaves the accommodating chamber 1110). Under the action of gravity, the remaining first projectiles 100 move from the accommodating chamber 5210 toward the accommodating chamber 1110, and the bottom of the remaining first projectiles 100 enters the accommodating chamber 1110. The release mechanism 4000 is then controlled to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 100, so that the first push rod 1200 continues to support the bottom first projectile 100 to be launched. This process is repeated to launch multiple first projectiles 100. For example, when multiple first projectiles 100 are included, they can be placed into the accommodating chamber 5210 from top to bottom at once and stacked in the accommodating chamber 5210. The accommodating chamber 5210 ensures that the first projectiles 100 will not tilt, and the first projectile 100 at the bottom will fall into the accommodating chamber 1110. When the first projectile 100 at the bottom is pushed and launched by the first push rod 1200, the remaining first projectiles 100 continue to move downward under the action of gravity. In this way, there is no need to place the first projectile 100 again after launching one first projectile 100 before continuing to launch.
[0097] It is understandable that after the first projectile 100 located at the bottom is launched, the first push rod 1200 can be manually reset to prepare for supporting the remaining first projectiles 100 again. However, the manual reset efficiency of the first push rod 1200 is relatively slow. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, the first launching mechanism 1000 further includes a first elastic member 1500. The first elastic member 1500 is suitable for generating a force on the first push rod 1200 away from the first projectile 100. In this way, the first push rod 1200 can be quickly reset, which is more conducive to the continuous launch of the first projectiles 100.
[0098] Specifically, when the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000, the child applies force to the release mechanism 4000, and the force is transmitted to the first push rod 1200, so that the first push rod 1200 moves toward the first object to be launched 100 located at the bottom and supports the first object to be launched 100 located at the bottom. When the first push rod 1200 moves toward the first object to be launched 100 located at the bottom, the first elastic member 1500 generates elastic deformation, and the first elastic member 1500 is deformed. 500 accumulates elastic potential energy (accumulated force). After the current first projectile 100 (the bottommost first projectile 100) is launched, the child removes the force applied to the release mechanism 4000. This allows the first elastic member 1500 to release the elastic potential energy, exerting a force on the first push rod 1200, causing the first push rod 1200 to return to its original position (move away from the first projectile 100 to leave the receiving chamber 1110). This allows the remaining first projectiles 100 to fall into the receiving chamber 1110 under the action of gravity. The action of the first elastic member 1500 allows for rapid repositioning of the first push rod 1200, further facilitating the rapid and continuous launch of multiple first projectiles 100. It can be understood that the first elastic member 1500 is a component that can achieve elastic deformation. For example, in this article, the first elastic member 1500 is taken as a spring (the elastic members hereinafter may also be springs). When the first push rod 1200 moves toward the first projectile 100, the first elastic member 1500 can be stretched or compressed, thereby accumulating elastic potential energy.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, with continued reference to Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, the first launching mechanism 1000 further includes a pull rod 1300 and a rotating rod 1400. The rotating rod 1400 is rotatably connected to the pull rod 1300 and the first push rod 1200, respectively. The switching mechanism 3000 is adapted to drive the pull rod 1300 to move, so that the pull rod 1300 drives the rotating rod 1400 to move, so that the rotating rod 1400 drives the first push rod 1200 to move toward the first object to be launched 100 to support the first object to be launched 100. The coordination of the pull rod 1300, the rotating rod 1400 and the first push rod 1200 facilitates the arrangement of the components of the first launching mechanism 1000, so that the switching mechanism 3000 can act on the pull rod 1300 and thereby trigger the first launching mechanism 1000.
[0100] Specifically, due to the limited structure of the base 5000, it is not appropriate to design the first push rod 1200 to be in direct contact with the switching mechanism 3000. Therefore, in this embodiment, force transmission can be achieved through the pull rod 1300 and the rotating rod 1400, which further facilitates the arrangement of the various components of the first launching mechanism 1000. Generally speaking, in order to facilitate the operation of the release mechanism 4000 by children's fingers, the release mechanism 4000 is designed to drive the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the first launching mechanism 1000 when it moves toward the rear. However, since the first projectile 100 needs to be launched toward the front, that is, the first push rod 1200 moves toward the front, the pull rod 1300 and the rotating rod 1400 cooperate to achieve the opposite movement directions of the first push rod 1200 and the release mechanism 4000.
[0101] For example, when the child control release mechanism 4000 moves toward the rear, the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to move toward the rear, and the switching mechanism 3000 drives the pull rod 1300 to move toward the rear. Since it is ultimately necessary to ensure that the first push rod 1200 moves toward the front, the pull rod 1300 needs to drive the first push rod 1200 to move toward the front through the rotating rod 1400. It can be that the base 5000 is provided with corresponding slots, and the pull rod 1300 and the first push rod 1200 are set in the corresponding slots. Under the action of the slots, the pull rod 1300 and the first push rod 1200 can only move along the front-back direction. In order to achieve force transmission, one end of the rotating rod 1400 has a sixth latching protrusion 1420, and the pull rod 1300 has a third bar-shaped hole 1320. The sixth latching protrusion 1420 is inserted into the third bar-shaped hole 1320 so that the pull rod 1300 00 and the rotating rod 1400 are rotatably connected, and the sixth latch 1420 can reciprocate in the third bar hole 1320. The other end of the rotating rod 1400 has a first bar hole 1410, and the first push rod 1200 has a first latch 1210. The first latch 1210 is inserted into the first bar hole 1410 so that the first push rod 1200 and the rotating rod 1400 are rotatably connected, and the first latch 1210 can reciprocate in the first bar hole 1410. When the pull rod 1300 moves rearward, it drives one end of the rotating rod 1400 to move rearward. Because the two ends of the rotating rod 1400 are constrained by the first strip hole 1410 and the first latch 1210, and the third strip hole 1320 and the sixth latch, when the pull rod 1300 moves rearward, the rotating rod 1400 rotates relative to the pull rod 1300, and the rotating rod 1400 also rotates relative to the first push rod 1200, thereby pushing the first push rod 1200 toward the first projectile 100. As mentioned above, when the first push rod 1200 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 1500, the rotating rod 1400 and the pull rod 1300 form opposite movements.
[0102] It can be understood that the switching mechanism 3000 drives the pull rod 1300 to move. It can be that when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, the switching mechanism 3000 and the pull rod 1300 are connected. Continuing with Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, the pull rod 1300 has a first card slot 1310, and the switching mechanism 3000 has a second card protrusion 3100. When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position, the second card protrusion 3100 is inserted into the first card slot 1310 to realize the connection between the switching mechanism 3000 and the pull rod 1300. It can be understood that when the switching mechanism 3000 is in the second position, the second card protrusion 3100 and the first card slot 1310 are separated, so that the movement of the switching mechanism 3000 will not drive the movement of the pull rod 1300.
[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10, 11, 12 and 13, the second launching mechanism 2000 includes a second push rod 2100 and a second elastic member 2200. The second elastic member 2200 is suitable for generating a force on the second push rod 2100 toward the second object 200 to be launched. When the switching mechanism 3000 acts on the second launching mechanism 2000, the second elastic member 2200 drives the second push rod 2100 to move toward the second object 200 to be launched and supports the second object 200 to be launched, so that the second object 200 to be launched is released from the base 5000.
[0104] Specifically, the second elastic member 2200 can achieve elastic deformation, thereby generating a force on the second push rod 2100. For example, similar to the first elastic member 1500, the second elastic member 2200 can also be a spring. The second elastic member 2200 can generate a force on the second push rod 2100 in a stretched state or in a compressed state. When the second projectile 200 needs to be launched, the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to act on the second launching mechanism 2000, thereby triggering the second launching mechanism 2000. At this time, the force generated by the second elastic member 2200 on the second push rod 2100 causes the second push rod 2100 to move toward the second projectile 200. By ensuring that the second elastic member 2200 can exert a large force, the second push rod 2100 can launch the second projectile 200 at the moment of supporting the second projectile 200.
[0105] For example, when the switching mechanism 3000 has not yet activated the second launching mechanism, the second push rod 2100 is away from the second projectile 200 and is located behind the second projectile 200. At this time, the second elastic member 2200 is in a stretched state. By simply selecting an appropriate second elastic member 2200, the second elastic member 2200 can accumulate a large amount of elastic potential energy in a stretched state, thereby generating a large pulling force on the second push rod 2100. When the switching mechanism 3000 activates the second launching mechanism, the elastic potential energy of the second elastic member 2200 is released. In an instant, the second elastic member 2200 pulls the second push rod 2100 to support the second projectile 200, thereby launching the second projectile 200.
[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the switching mechanism 3000 triggers the second launching mechanism 2000 through the following scheme. As shown in Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17, the second launching mechanism 2000 also includes a first locking member 2300, which is suitable for locking the second push rod 2100. The switching mechanism 3000 is suitable for driving the first locking member 2300 to move so that the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, and enables the second push rod 2100 to move toward the second object to be launched 200 under the action of the second elastic member 2200 to support the second object to be launched 200.
[0107] Specifically, the first locking member 2300 is a component that can lock and unlock the second push rod 2100. When the first locking member 2300 locks the second push rod 2100, it forms a constraint on the second push rod 2100, and the second push rod 2100 will not move. When the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, it cancels the constraint on the second push rod 2100, and the second push rod 2100 can move under the action of the second elastic member 2200. There are many structures of the first locking member 2300, as long as it can achieve locking and unlocking of the second push rod 2100, it is not limited in this embodiment.
[0108] When the first locking member 2300 locks the second push rod 2100, the second elastic member 2200 elastically deforms to accumulate elastic potential energy. When the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second elastic member 2200 releases the elastic potential energy, thereby driving the second push rod 2100 toward the second projectile 200 and supporting the second projectile 200.
[0109] For example, the second push rod 2100 moves away from the second projectile 200 and moves toward the rear. When the second push rod 2100 moves to a predetermined distance, it can cooperate with the first locking member 2300 to be locked by the first locking member 2300. At this time, the second elastic member 2200 is in a stretched state. When the child control release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to operate, the switching mechanism 3000 transmits force to the first locking member 2300, thereby acting on the second launching mechanism 2000, causing the first locking member 2300 to move, that is, the state of the first locking member 2300 changes. When the state of the first locking member 2300 changes, the second push rod 2100 is unlocked. At this time, the second elastic member 2200 releases its elastic potential energy, generating a pulling force on the second push rod 2100. The rapidly pulled second push rod 2100 pushes toward the second projectile 200, which is equivalent to causing an impact with the second projectile 200, thereby launching the second projectile 200. It is understandable that the rearward movement of the second push rod 2100 can be achieved by the force applied by the child, and of course can also be achieved by receiving other forces.
[0110] The cooperation between the first locking member 2300 and the second push rod 2100 can be as follows: Continuing with Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17, the first locking member 2300 includes a lock core 2310 and a seventh elastic member 2320. The seventh elastic member 2320 can be used as a spring, and the seventh elastic member 2320 is used to generate force on the lock core 2310. The lock core 2310 has a lock hole 2311, and the second push rod 2100 has a lock hook 2130. When the second push rod 2100 is controlled to move away from the second projectile 200 to move toward the rear, the lock hook 2130 can be inserted into the lock hole 2311. During the process of the lock hook 2130 being inserted into the lock hole 2311, the lock core 2310 moves (moves upward), and the seventh elastic member 2320 elastically deforms until the lock hook 2130 is inserted into the lock hole 2311. At this time, the seventh elastic member 2320 releases its elastic potential energy to reset the lock core 2310 (move downward) so that the lock hook 2130 is hooked on the periphery of the lock hole 2311, thereby locking the second push rod 2100.
[0111] When the child-controlled release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to operate, the switching mechanism 3000 drives the lock core 2310 to move (move upward), the seventh elastic member 2320 elastically deforms, and the lock hook 2130 disengages from the periphery of the lock hole 2311, thereby unlocking the second push rod 2100. The second elastic member 2200 releases its elastic potential energy, and the second push rod 2100 is supported toward the second projectile 200 under the action of the second elastic member 2200. The lock core 2310 is reset (moved toward) under the action of the seventh elastic member 2320 to wait for the next locking of the second push rod 2100.
[0112] The switching mechanism 3000 and the lock core 2310 can cooperate as follows: As shown in Figures 14 and 15 , the switching mechanism 3000 has a first abutting slope 3200, and the lock core 2310 has a second abutting slope 2312. The lock core 2310 moves through the cooperation of the first abutting slope 3200 and the second abutting slope 2312. For example, the child control release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to move backward. During the movement of the switching mechanism 3000, the first abutting slope 3200 and the second abutting slope 2312 abut together. As the switching mechanism 3000 continues to move, the lock core 2310 is forced to move upward, thereby unlocking the second push rod 2100. Optionally, the lock core 2310 has a through hole 2313 adjacent to the second abutment slope 2312. When the switching mechanism 3000 is in the first position and the release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to move, the first abutment slope 3200 and the second abutment slope 2312 are staggered, and the first abutment slope 3200 is aligned with the through hole 2313 and passes through. In this way, the lock core 2310 will not be driven to move, that is, the second launching mechanism 2000 will not be triggered.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 18, the second push rod 2100 is provided with a first stopper 2110 and a third elastic member 2120. The first stopper 2110 is movably provided, and the third elastic member 2120 is adapted to generate a force on the first stopper 2110. The second push rod 2100 is adapted to move away from the second projectile 200 to be locked by the first locking member 2300, and is also adapted to move toward the second projectile 200 to support the second projectile 200 via the first stopper 2110.
[0114] For example, the second projectile 200 is placed in front of the base 5000, and the second push rod 2100 moves toward the rear, thereby driving the first stopper 2110 away from the second projectile 200. When the second push rod 2100 moves toward the front, the second push rod 2100 drives the first stopper 2110 to support the second projectile 200. When the second push rod 2100 moves toward the rear and is locked by the first locking member 2300, the space between the first stopper 2110 and the second projectile 200 is The distance must be smaller than the travel of the second push rod 2100 so that when the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 drives the first stopper 2110 to support the second projectile 200. For this reason, when the second push rod 2100 moves rearward and is locked by the first locking member 2300, if the second projectile 200 is placed on the base 5000 at this time, the second projectile 200 will interfere with the first stopper 2110. In this embodiment, the problem is solved by the cooperation of the first stopper 2110 and the third elastic member 2120. Before the second push rod 2100 moves away from the second projectile 200, the second projectile 200 is placed on the base 5000. At this time, the second projectile 200 covers the first stopper 2110 and applies pressure to the first stopper 2110, thereby changing the position of the first stopper 2110. As shown in Figures 10 and 12, the first stopper 2110 moves downward and the third elastic member 2120 accumulates elastic potential energy. When the second push rod 2100 is controlled to move away from the second projectile 200 and is locked by the first locking member 2300, the first stopper 2110 moves with the second push rod 2100 away from the second projectile 200 until the first stopper 2110 is released from the second projectile. 200, because the first stopper 2110 is disengaged from the second projectile 200, the second projectile 200 no longer applies pressure to the first stopper 2110, and the third elastic member 2120 releases its elastic potential energy, allowing the first stopper 2110 to return to its original position under the action of the third elastic member 2120. As shown in Figures 11 and 13, the first stopper 2110 now moves upward. As a result, when the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200, thereby driving the first stopper 2110 to support the second projectile 200. With this solution, there is no need to distinguish the order of locking the second push rod 2100 and placing the second projectile 200, and this also lays the foundation for the switching form of the second projectile 200 mentioned below.
[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, and 22, the second launching mechanism 2000 further includes a third push rod 2400, the third push rod 2400 is provided with a second stopper 2410 and a fourth elastic member 2420, the second stopper 2410 is movably arranged, and the fourth elastic member 2420 is adapted to generate a force on the second stopper 2410 so that the second stopper 2410 and the second push rod 210 are engaged. 0 abutment, the third push rod 2400 is suitable for driving the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200 through the second stopper 2410, so that the second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300; the base 5000 is provided with a guide surface 5100, and the second stopper 2410 is suitable for abutting against the guide surface 5100 when the second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300, so as to be disengaged from the second push rod 2100 under the action of the guide surface 5100.
[0116] Specifically, as described above, after the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200 and supports the second projectile 200. Then, when the second projectile 200 needs to be launched again, the second projectile 200 needs to be reinstalled on the base 5000, and the second push rod 2100 also needs to be locked again by the first locking member 2300. In this embodiment, the child must apply force to lock the second push rod 2100 with the first locking member 2300. That is, the second push rod 2100 moves away from the second projectile under the force applied by the child and is locked by the first locking member 2300. If the child applies force directly to the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 must have a corresponding structure for the child to grasp. However, this structure is ineffective when the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100 and the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200. This will reduce the speed of the second push rod 2100 under the action of the second elastic member 2200, thereby reducing the launch effect of the second projectile 200.
[0117] To this end, in this embodiment, a third push rod 2400 is provided, and the third push rod 2400 has a second stopper 2410 and a fourth elastic member 2420. When the second push rod 2100 needs to support the second projectile 200 again after supporting the second projectile 200, the fourth elastic member 2420 generates a force on the second stopper 2410, so that the second stopper 2410 and the second push rod 2100 abut against each other. A concave cavity 2140 can be provided on the second push rod 2100, and the second stopper 2410 is snapped into the concave cavity 2140 to achieve abutment with the second push rod 2100. The force applied by the child is transmitted to the second push rod 2100 through the third push rod 2400 and the second stopper 2410. For example, when the third push rod 2400 moves toward the rear, the second stop block 2410 moves along with the third push rod 2400, and the second stop block 2410 drives the second push rod 2100 to move toward the rear. During the movement of the second push rod 2100 toward the rear, the second push rod 2100 will be locked by the first locking member 2300. At the same time, the second push rod 2100 will abut against the guide surface 5100 on the base 5000. For example, the second stop block 2410 has a third latching protrusion 2411. The third latching protrusion 2411 encounters the guidance of the guide surface 5100, causing the second stop block 2410 to separate from the second push rod 2100. At this time, the fourth elastic member 2420 undergoes elastic deformation and accumulates elastic potential energy. Because the second stopper 2410 and the second push rod 2100 are separated from each other, when the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 does not need to drive the third push rod 2400 to move. In this way, the second push rod 2100 can support the second projectile 200 at a faster speed, thereby improving the launch effect of the second projectile 200.
[0118] In order to facilitate the second push rod 2100 to be locked again by the first locking member 2300 after the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the third push rod 2400 and the second stopper 2410 need to be reset. In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 23, 24 and 25, the second launching mechanism 2000 further includes a second locking member 2500 and a fifth elastic member 2600. The fifth elastic member 2600 is suitable for generating a force on the third push rod 2400; when the third push rod 2400 passes through the second stopper 2410, the third push rod 2400 and the second stopper 2410 are reset. When the second push rod 2100 is moved away from the second projectile 200, the second locking member 2500 is adapted to lock the third push rod 2400. The second locking member 2500 is further adapted to be driven by the second push rod 2100 when the second push rod 2100 is moved toward the second projectile 200, so as to unlock the third push rod 2400. This allows the third push rod 2400 to return to its original position under the action of the fifth elastic member 2600, and allows the second stopper 2410 to return to its original position under the action of the fourth elastic member 2420 and abut against the second push rod 2100.
[0119] Specifically, the third push rod 2400 drives the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200 through the second stopper 2410 until the second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300. At the same time, the second stopper 2410 is disengaged from the second push rod 2100 under the action of the guide surface 5100, and the third push rod 2400 is also locked by the second locking member 2500. The fourth elastic member 2420 and the fifth elastic member 2600 both accumulate elastic potential energy. The fourth elastic member 2420 generates a force on the second stopper 2410, and the fifth elastic member 2600 generates a force on the third push rod 2400. When the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200 under the action of the second elastic member 1500, and supports the second projectile 2 00, so that the second projectile 200 is launched. During the movement of the second push rod 2100 toward the second projectile 200, the second push rod 2100 synchronously realizes the action on the second locking member 2500, so that the second locking member 2500 unlocks the third push rod 2400, so that the fifth elastic member 2600 can release the elastic potential energy and thereby drive the third push rod 2400 to reset (move forward). During the resetting process of the third push rod 2400, the third push rod 2400 drives the second stopper 2410 to leave the guide surface 5100, so that the second stopper 2410 is reset (moved upward) under the action of the fourth elastic member 2420 and is stuck in the concave cavity 2140, so as to abut against the second push rod 2100 again. In this way, there is no need to manually reset the third push rod 2400, which is more convenient and quick.
[0120] The cooperation between the second locking member 2500 and the third push rod 2400 can be referred to as follows: the second locking member 2500 includes a locking pin 2510 and an eighth elastic member 2520, the locking pin 2510 has a fourth latching protrusion 2511 and a third abutting inclined surface 2512, the second push rod 2100 has a fourth abutting inclined surface 2150, and the third push rod 2400 has a second latching groove 2430. When the third push rod 2400 drives the second push rod 2100 away from the second projectile 200 through the second stop block 2410, the fourth latching protrusion 2511 will be opposite to the second latching groove 2430, and under the action of the eighth elastic member 2520, the fourth latching protrusion 2511 will be locked into the second latching groove 2430, thereby locking the third push rod 2400. When the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200. During the movement of the second push rod 2100 toward the second projectile 200, the fourth abutting inclined surface 2150 and the third abutting inclined surface 2512 of the second push rod 2100 abut against each other, thereby forcing the entire locking pin 2510 to move, thereby causing the fourth latching protrusion 2511 to disengage from the second latching groove 2430, and the eighth elastic member 2520 to undergo elastic deformation (accumulating force for the next engagement between the fourth latching protrusion 2511 and the second latching groove 2430). In this way, the fifth elastic member 2600 can release its elastic potential energy, and the third push rod 2400 is reset under the action of the fifth elastic member 2600.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figures 26, 27, 28 and 29, a handle 2700 is further included, which is rotatable. The second object 200 to be launched is suitable for being detachably connected to the handle 2700, and the handle 2700 is suitable for rotating to drive the second object 200 to be launched to rotate, deform or fold.
[0122] Specifically, by providing a handle 2700 that cooperates with the second projectile 200, the use pleasure of the launch toy is further enhanced. The handle 2700 and the second projectile 200 can be coordinated through a mounting position 2710. For example, the handle 2700 has a mounting position 2710. The so-called mounting position 2710 is a structure for cooperating with the second projectile 200. When the second projectile 200 is placed on the base 5000, it needs to cooperate with the mounting position 2710. When the child pulls the handle 2700, causing the handle 2700 to rotate about its rotation center, the mounting position 2710 will drive the second projectile 200 to switch its shape (including but not limited to rotation, deformation, or folding), preparing for the launch of the second projectile 200. That is, when the second projectile 200 is placed on the base 5000 and the handle 2700 is not pulled by the child, the second projectile 200 is in the first configuration. When the handle 2700 is pulled by the child, the second projectile 200 is in the second configuration. For example, when the second projectile 200 is placed on the mounting platform 5300 of the base 5000 so as to engage with the mounting position 2710, the second projectile 200 is in an upright position (the first configuration). When the handle 2700 is pulled, the handle 2700 drives the second projectile 200 to rotate via the mounting position 2710, and the second projectile 200 is in a lying position (the second configuration). Alternatively, the second projectile 200 may include multiple interconnected components. When the second projectile 200 is placed on the mounting platform 5300 of the base 5000 to cooperate with the mounting position 2710, the second projectile 200 is in the first form, and a component of the second projectile 200 cooperates with the mounting position 2710. When the handle 2700 is pulled, the handle 2700 drives the corresponding component to move synchronously, and the components interconnected with the component move accordingly, thus switching to the second form. For example, the second projectile 200 is a robot in the first form and a vehicle in the second form.
[0123] It is understood that when the switching mechanism 3000 acts on the second launching mechanism 2000, the second projectile 200 needs to be separated from the mounting position 2710 in order to be launched off the base 5000. Specifically, when the handle 2700 is rotated to cause the second projectile 200 to switch its configuration, the second projectile 200 needs to be separated from the mounting position 2710 in the direction of its launch. In other words, the second projectile 200 and the mounting position 2710 need to be detachably mated. In this way, the handle 2700 can both drive the second projectile 200 to switch its configuration and, when the second push rod 2100 supports the second projectile 200, separate the second projectile 200 from the mounting position 2710 for launch.
[0124] For example, the mounting position 2710 is a third slot 2710, which is located at the rotation center of the handle 2700. The handle 2700 is arranged from the base 5000 toward the front and bottom. At this time, the third slot 2710 is open in the up and down directions, and the second object to be launched 200 is inserted into the third slot 2710 from top to bottom. When the handle 2700 is pulled backward, the handle 2700 drives the second object to be launched 200 to switch its form. At this time, the third slot 2710 is open in the front and back directions (relatively horizontal). In this way, when the second push rod 2100 supports the second object to be launched 200, the second object to be launched 200 can be launched toward the front and disengage from the third slot 2710.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in conjunction with Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 26 to 31, when the handle 2700 rotates to drive the second projectile 200 to switch its form, the handle 2700 drives the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200, causing the second push rod 2100 to be locked by the first locking member 2300. In this embodiment, the handle 2700 is designed to be locked in conjunction with the second push rod 2100, thereby achieving both locking of the second push rod 2100 and switching of the form of the second projectile 200.
[0126] Specifically, the handle 2700 and the third push rod 2400 are rotatably connected so that the third push rod 2400 can drive the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200. Since the second push rod 2100 needs to move toward and away from the second projectile 200, the third push rod 2400 needs to drive the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200, and the third push rod 2400 needs to be reset, in this embodiment, the base 5000 has corresponding slots, and the second push rod 2100 and the third push rod 2400 are disposed in the slots to ensure that the second push rod 2100 and the third push rod 2400 both move linearly, for example, linearly forward and backward. Since the third push rod 2400 and the handle 2700 are rotatably connected, the rotation of the handle 2700 is converted into the linear movement of the third push rod 2400. Therefore, the rotatable connection between the handle 2700 and the third push rod 2400 can adopt the following scheme: the handle 2700 has a second bar hole 2720, and the third push rod 2400 has a fifth clamping protrusion 2440, the fifth clamping protrusion 2440 is clamped into the second bar hole 2720, and when the handle 2700 rotates, the handle 2700 drives the third push rod 2400 to rotate. 400 moves, the fifth latching protrusion 2440 is synchronously displaced in the second bar-shaped hole 2720, thereby realizing the linear movement of the third push rod 2400. When the pull handle 2700 drives the third push rod 2400 to move linearly, the third push rod 2400 (through the second stop block 2410) drives the second push rod 2100 to move away from the second projectile 200, so that the second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300. In this way, the pull handle 2700, the third push rod 2400 and the second push rod 2100 are linked.
[0127] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the fifth elastic member 2600 mentioned above is arranged at the rotation center of the handle 2700, for example, is arranged in the form of a torsion spring at the rotation center of the handle 2700. When the handle 2700 is pulled to rotate, for example, when it is rotated from front to back, the fifth elastic member 2600 accumulates elastic potential energy until the second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300 and the third push rod 2400 is locked by the second locking member 2500. Since the handle 2700 and the third push rod 2400 are rotatably connected, the handle 2700 is also equivalent to being in a locked state at this time. When the first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100, the second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200 and supports the second projectile 200. During the movement of the second push rod 2100 toward the second projectile 200, the second push rod 2100 causes the second locking member 2500 to unlock the third push rod 2400. As a result, the fifth elastic member 2600 can release its elastic potential energy. Under the action of the fifth elastic member, the pull handle 2700 is driven to reset. The pull handle 2700 then drives the third push rod 2400 to reset, thereby facilitating the second projectile 200 to be placed back on the launcher 300 for launch.
[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in conjunction with Figures 7 and 10 , the release mechanism 4000 includes a trigger 4100 and a sixth elastic member 4200. With the direction in which the first and second projectiles 100 and 200 are launched from the base 5000 as the front, the trigger 4100 is adapted to move in a forward and backward direction to drive the switching mechanism 3000, and the sixth elastic member 4200 is adapted to generate a force on the trigger 4100 to reset the trigger 4100. With the arrangement of the trigger 4100, when a child holds the launcher 300, the child's finger is used to operate the trigger 4100. For example, the trigger 4100 and the switching mechanism 3000 can be slidably engaged, and the switching mechanism 3000 can slide (left and right) relative to the trigger 4100 to switch between the first position and the second position. That is, when the trigger 4100 is controlled to move backward, the sixth elastic member 4200 accumulates elastic potential energy, the trigger 4100 drives the switching mechanism 3000 to move backward, and the switching mechanism 3000 acts on the corresponding first launching mechanism 1000 or second launching mechanism 2000. When the child releases the trigger 4100, the sixth elastic member 4200 releases the elastic potential energy, and the trigger 4100 moves forward and resets under the action of the sixth elastic member 4200. It is understood that the force exerted by the sixth elastic member 4200 on the trigger 4100 (target object) can be applied directly or indirectly, including by the various elastic members mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.
[0129] Combined with Figures 1 to 31, the operation process of the entire launching toy is introduced:
[0130] Place several first missiles 100 into the accommodating cavity 5210, then place the second missile 200 onto the mounting platform 5300. The second missile 200 needs to be snapped into the mounting position 2710 of the handle 2700. At this time, the second missile 200 is in the first configuration and presses down the first stopper 2110.
[0131] Pulling the handle 2700 backward causes the second projectile 200 to switch to the second configuration. Simultaneously, the handle 2700 drives the third push rod 2400, which in turn drives the second push rod 2100 away from the second projectile 200. The second push rod 2100 is locked by the first locking member 2300, and the first stopper 2110 is released from the second projectile 200 and resets. The second stopper 2410 disengages from the second push rod 2100, and the second locking member 2500 locks the third push rod 2400.
[0132] The switching mechanism 3000 is switched to the second position, controlling the release mechanism 4000 to move. The release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, which drives the first locking member 2300 to move. The first locking member 2300 unlocks the second push rod 2100. The second push rod 2100 moves toward the second projectile 200 under the action of the second elastic member 2200. The second push rod 2100 supports the second projectile 200, thereby launching the second projectile 200. During the movement of the second push rod 2100 toward the second projectile 200, the second push rod 2100 abuts against the second locking member 2500, causing the second locking member 2500 to unlock the third push rod 2400. The third push rod 2400 and the handle 2700 are reset under the action of the fifth elastic member 2600, and the second stopper 2410 abuts against the second push rod 2100 again.
[0133] Switching the switching mechanism 3000 to the first position controls the release mechanism 4000 to move. The release mechanism 4000 drives the switching mechanism 3000, which drives the pull rod 1300, which drives the rotating rod 1400, which drives the first push rod 1200 to support the first object 100 to be launched. When the control of the release mechanism 4000 is released, the first push rod 1200 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 1500. Repeated control of the release mechanism 4000 can achieve continuous ejection of the first object 100 to be launched.
