If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
[0074] The first aspect of this application discloses a launching device 100. As shown in Figures 1 to 9 and Figures 12 to 15, in some embodiments, the launching device 100 includes a launcher 4000, a first body 2000, and a second body 5000. The launcher 4000 is adapted to mount an object to be launched 200 thereon. The launcher 4000 includes an acceleration mechanism 4100 and a launching mechanism 4200. The first body 2000 is disposed on the launcher 4000 and includes a slider 2100. The slider 2100 is reciprocating and is adapted to drive the acceleration mechanism 4100, causing the acceleration mechanism 4100 to rotate the object to be launched 200. The second body 5000 is disposed on the launcher 4000 and is adapted to be held. The second body 5000 includes a release mechanism 5100, which is adapted to drive the launching mechanism 4200, causing the launching mechanism 4200 to launch the object to be launched 200.
[0075] The launcher 4000 has a position for mounting the object to be launched 200. This position can have various structural forms, as long as it allows for the mounting of the object to be launched 200. The acceleration mechanism 4100 on the launcher 4000 can drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate, and the launching mechanism 4200 on the launcher 4000 can drive the object to be launched 200 to launch. "Driven" means that relevant parts are moved by power, which can be achieved directly or indirectly. That is, the acceleration mechanism 4100 can drive relevant parts of the object to be launched 200 to move (rotate), and the launching mechanism 4200 can drive relevant parts of the object to be launched 200 to move (launch). The acceleration mechanism 4100 needs to cooperate with the first main body 2000 to achieve the driving (rotation) of the object to be launched 200, and the launching mechanism 4200 needs to cooperate with the second main body 5000 to achieve the driving (launch) of the object to be launched 200.
[0076] The first main body 2000 is disposed on the transmitter 4000 and is detachably connected. The first main body 2000 includes a slider 2100, which is reciprocating. That is, the slider 2100 can move in a first direction or in a second direction, which are opposite. During the reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, the slider 2100 can drive the acceleration mechanism 4100, thereby causing the acceleration mechanism 4100 to rotate the object to be launched 200. The second main body 5000 is disposed on the transmitter 4000 and is detachably connected. The second main body 5000 includes a release mechanism 5100, which can drive the launching mechanism 4200. That is, the release mechanism 5100 is movably disposed, and the movement of the release mechanism 5100 can drive the launching mechanism 4200, thereby causing the launching mechanism 4200 to launch the object to be launched 200. In this embodiment, the slider 2100 and the release mechanism 5100 do not interfere with each other. The object to be launched 200 can be controlled to rotate first, and then the object to be launched 200 can be controlled to launch, or the object to be launched 200 can be controlled to launch directly without controlling the rotation of the object to be launched 200.
[0077] For example, referring to the orientation in Figure 4, the user holds the second main body 5000 with one hand and the slider 2100 with the other hand, controlling the slider 2100 to move back and forth in the front-back direction (from front to back is the first direction and from back to front is the second direction, or from front to back is the second direction and from back to front is the first direction), thereby driving the acceleration mechanism 4100, causing the object to be launched 200 to rotate. The hand holding the second main body 5000 controls the release mechanism 5100, causing the release mechanism 5100 to drive the launching mechanism 4200, thus launching the object to be launched 200. After the launch object 200 is launched, it continues to rotate upon landing on the ground. At this time, the launch object 200 will not tip over until it stops rotating, which helps to increase the fun of playing. Alternatively, after multiple (two or more) launch objects 200 are launched and land in a concave arc area, the launch objects 200 will move towards the bottom of the concave arc area. Since the launch objects 200 can continue to rotate, multiple launch objects 200 can collide with each other, thus forming a competitive confrontation and increasing the playability.
[0078] In particular, the faster the slider 2100 reciprocates, the more advantageous it is for accelerating the rotation of the object to be launched 200. The faster the object to be launched 200 rotates, the more advantageous it is for competitive combat. It is understandable that there are various types of objects to be launched 200. For example, the object to be launched 200 is a gyroscope. A gyroscope has a rotating part and a fixed part. The rotating part can rotate relative to the fixed part. The gyroscope is mounted to the launcher 4000 through the fixed part. The acceleration mechanism 4100 can drive the rotating part of the gyroscope to rotate. The launching mechanism 4200 can act on the fixed part of the gyroscope to launch the entire gyroscope.
[0079] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the acceleration mechanism 4100 includes an acceleration gear 4110, the slider 2100 is adapted to drive the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate, and the acceleration gear 4110 is adapted to drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate.
[0080] Specifically, the reciprocating movement of the slider 2100 is converted into the rotation of the acceleration gear 4110. For example, the first main body 2000 also includes a rack 2101. The slider 2100 and the rack 2101 are connected so that the rack 2101 can reciprocate. The rack 2101 and the acceleration gear 4110 are connected in a transmission, thereby causing the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate. In this way, the reciprocating movement of the slider 2100 is converted into the rotation of the acceleration gear 4110. The rotation of the acceleration gear 4110 needs to drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate. For example, the object to be launched 200 has a toothed structure. When the object to be launched 200 is installed on the launcher 4000, the toothed structure of the object to be launched 200 meshes with the acceleration gear 4110. When the acceleration gear 4110 rotates, it can drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate. And when the object to be launched 200 is launched, it is convenient to achieve rapid separation between the object to be launched 200 and the acceleration gear 4110. The first body 2000 can generate force on the slider 2100 by setting an elastic element, so as to provide elastic force for the slider 2100 to reset.
[0081] Referring to Figures 6 to 11, in some embodiments, the slider 2100 is adapted to reciprocate along a first direction and a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being opposite. The first body 2000 also includes a clutch mechanism 2200 and a stop mechanism 2300, the stop mechanism 2300 having a first stop state and a second stop state.
[0082] When the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state, the slider 2100 is adapted to move in the first direction to drive the clutch mechanism 2200, so that the clutch mechanism 2200 drives the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate. When the slider 2100 is adapted to move in the second direction, it drives the clutch mechanism 2200 to separate the clutch mechanism 2200 and the acceleration gear 4110. When the stop mechanism 2300 is in the second stop state, the slider 2100 is adapted to move in the first direction to drive the clutch mechanism 2200, so that the clutch mechanism 2200 and the acceleration gear 4110 are separated. When the slider 2100 is adapted to move in the second direction, it drives the clutch mechanism 2200 to rotate in the opposite direction.
[0083] By setting up a clutch mechanism 2200, during the reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, only one direction of the reciprocating movement can drive the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate, while the other direction of the reciprocating movement cannot. Thus, through multiple reciprocating movements of the slider 2100, the acceleration gear 4110 can achieve continuous acceleration. Furthermore, by setting up a stop mechanism 2300, switching between different stop states can cause the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate in different directions, thereby changing the rotation direction of the object to be launched 200.
[0084] For example, referring to the orientation of Figure 10, when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state: during the first reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, when the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 acts on the acceleration gear 4110, thereby driving the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate (clockwise), and when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 disengages from the acceleration gear 4110; during the second reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, when the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 acts on the acceleration gear 4110, thereby driving the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate (clockwise), and when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 disengages from the acceleration gear 4110, and so on.
[0085] Referring to the orientation of Figure 11, when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the second stop state: during the first reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, when the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 disengages from the acceleration gear 4110, and when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 acts on the acceleration gear 4110, thereby causing the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate in the opposite direction (counterclockwise); during the second reciprocating movement of the slider 2100, when the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 disengages from the acceleration gear 4110, and when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, the clutch mechanism 2200 acts on the acceleration gear 4110, thereby causing the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate in the opposite direction (counterclockwise), and so on.
[0086] Referring to Figures 7 to 11, in some embodiments, the clutch mechanism 2200 includes a movable member 2220, a drive gear 2210, a first clutch gear 2230, and a second clutch gear 2240. The movable member 2220 is rotatably disposed, the drive gear 2210 is rotatably disposed and coaxial with the movable member 2220, the first clutch gear 2230 is rotatably disposed on the movable member 2220 and meshes with the drive gear 2210, and the second clutch gear 2240 is rotatably disposed on the movable member 2220 and meshes with the drive gear 2210.
[0087] When the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state:
[0088] When the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate, causing the movable member 2220 to swing, and causing the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 to mesh and drive, and the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 to disengage; when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the movable member 2220 to swing in the opposite direction and be stopped by the stop mechanism 2300, causing the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 to disengage, and the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 to disengage.
[0089] When the stop mechanism 2300 is in the second stop state;
[0090] When the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate, causing the movable member 2220 to swing and be stopped by the stop mechanism 2300, thereby disengaging the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110, and disengaging the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110; when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the movable member 2220 to swing in the opposite direction, and disengaging the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110, and engaging the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110.
[0091] Specifically, the movable component 2220 is rotatable and can swing within a certain range, which is limited by the stop mechanism 2300. The drive gear 2210 is rotatable and coaxial with the movable component 2220. The drive gear 2210 may or may not be located on the movable component 2220. The coaxiality of the drive gear 2210 and the movable component 2220 means that the rotation axis of the drive gear 2210 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the movable component 2220. The first clutch gear 2230 is mounted on the movable member 2220 and can rotate relative to the movable member 2220. The second clutch gear 2240 is mounted on the movable member 2220 and can rotate relative to the movable member 2220. Since the movable member 2220 is rotatably mounted and the drive gear 2210 is coaxial with the movable member 2220, the drive gear 2210 can always maintain meshing with the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240, regardless of how the movable member 2220 swings. This allows the movable member 2220 to swing in different directions when the drive gear 2210 rotates in different directions, and the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 to swing along with it.
[0092] The reciprocating movement of the slider 2100 drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate in different directions. For example, the slider 2100 can drive the drive gear 2210 to rotate through the rack 2101. Since the slider 2100 can reciprocate, the rotation direction of the drive gear 2210 when the slider 2100 moves in the first direction is different from the rotation direction of the drive gear 2210 when the slider 2100 moves in the second direction.
[0093] Referring to the orientation in Figure 10, when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state:
[0094] When the slider 2100 moves in the first direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate clockwise. The drive gear 2210 drives the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 to rotate counterclockwise. The drive gear 2210 also drives the movable part 2220 to swing clockwise. The first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 swing along with it, so that the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 mesh and transmit power (which also limits the movable part 2220 from continuing to swing clockwise). The second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 disengage. Finally, the first clutch gear 2230 drives the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate clockwise, so as to drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate (counterclockwise). It is understandable that if the slider 2100 moves to its limit along the first direction and stops, the drive gear 2210 does not move. Since the movable part 2220 is rotatable and the object to be launched 200 is still rotating, the movable part 2220 is forced to swing counterclockwise, causing the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 to separate.
[0095] When the slider 2100 moves along the first direction and then switches to moving along the second direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate counterclockwise. The drive gear 2210 drives the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 to rotate clockwise. At the same time, the drive gear 2210 drives the movable part 2220 to swing counterclockwise until the movable part 2220 is stopped by the stop mechanism 2300. The first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 swing together, causing the first clutch gear 2230 to separate from the acceleration gear 4110 and the second clutch gear 2240 to separate from the acceleration gear 4110.
[0096] Referring to the orientation in Figure 11, when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the second stop state:
[0097] When the slider 2100 moves along the first direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate clockwise. The drive gear 2210 drives the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the drive gear 2210 drives the movable part 2220 to swing clockwise until the movable part 2220 is stopped by the stop mechanism 2300. The first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 swing along with it, so that the first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 are separated, and the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 are separated.
[0098] When the slider 2100 switches from moving in the first direction to moving in the second direction, it drives the drive gear 2210 to rotate counterclockwise. The drive gear 2210 drives the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 to rotate clockwise. The drive gear 2210 also drives the movable part 2220 to swing counterclockwise. The first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 swing along with it, so that the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 mesh and transmit power (which also limits the movable part 2220 from continuing to swing counterclockwise). The first clutch gear 2230 and the acceleration gear 4110 disengage. Finally, the second clutch gear 2240 drives the acceleration gear 4110 to rotate counterclockwise, so as to drive the object to be launched 200 to rotate (clockwise). It is understandable that if the slider 2100 moves to its limit in the second direction and stops, the drive gear 2210 remains stationary. Since the movable part 2220 is rotatable and the object to be launched 200 is still rotating, the movable part 2220 is forced to swing clockwise, causing the second clutch gear 2240 and the acceleration gear 4110 to separate.
[0099] Referring to Figures 8 to 11, in some embodiments, the stop mechanism 2300 includes a slot 2310, and the movable member 2220 is inserted into the slot 2310;
[0100] When the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state, the movable member 2220 is adapted to be stopped by one side of the slot 2310, so that the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 are respectively separated from the acceleration gear 4110; when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the second stop state, the movable member 2220 is adapted to be stopped by the other side of the slot 2310, so that the first clutch gear 2230 and the second clutch gear 2240 are respectively separated from the acceleration gear 4110.
[0101] In this embodiment, the moving part 2220 is restricted in different stopping states of the stopping mechanism 2300 through the same slot 2310, which simplifies the structure.
[0102] Since the movable member 2220 is inserted into the slot 2310 when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state and the second stop state, in order to stop the movable member 2220 on the opposite sides of the slot 2310 in the corresponding stop state, the position of the slot 2310 is different when the stop mechanism 2300 is in the first stop state and the second stop state. For example, the movable member 2220 can be rotatably configured to change the position of the slot 2310. For example, the movable member 2220 can be rotatably swung back and forth at a certain angle, so that the position of the slot 2310 can be changed. The rotatable configuration of the movable member 2220 is achieved, for example, by using screws. When the screws are loosened, the movable member 2220 can be rotated to adjust the position of the slot 2310. When the screws are tightened, the movable member 2220 is fixed to position the slot 2310.
[0103] Referring to Figures 12 to 15, in some embodiments, the launching mechanism 4200 includes a push plate 4210, a locking member 4220, and a first elastic member 4291. When the object to be launched 200 is installed on the launcher 4000, the object to be launched 200 is adapted to abut against the push plate 4210 and drive the push plate 4210 to move. The locking member 4220 is adapted to lock the push plate 4210 when it moves to a preset position, and is also adapted to be driven by the release mechanism 5100 to unlock the push plate 4210. The first elastic member 4291 is adapted to generate force on the push plate 4210 so as to drive the push plate 4210 to reset when the locking member 4220 unlocks the push plate 4210, so that the push plate 4210 drives the object to be launched 200 to be launched.
[0104] Specifically, the object to be launched 200 is mounted on the launcher 4000 in a movable manner. Referring to the orientation in Figure 1, the object to be launched 200 moves backward to be mounted on the launcher 4000. When the object to be launched 200 is mounted on the launcher 4000, the object to be launched 200 and the push plate 4210 abut together. The object to be launched 200 drives the push plate 4210 to move backward. During the backward movement of the push plate 4210, the first elastic element 4291 undergoes elastic deformation and accumulates elastic potential energy. The elastic element 4291 exerts a forward force on the push plate 4210. When the push plate 4210 moves to a preset position (i.e., the position where it can be locked by the locking element 4220), it will be locked by the locking element 4220. Due to the locking by the locking element 4220, the push plate 4210 will not reset (resetting here means that the push plate 4210 moves to the position where the object to be launched 200 is installed in front of the launcher 4000, i.e., the push plate 4210 moves forward) and will drive the object to be launched 200 out. It can be understood that the force exerted by the first elastic element 4291 on the target can be direct or indirect. That is, the force exerted by the first elastic element 4291 on the push plate 4210 can be directly applied to the push plate 4210 or indirectly applied to the push plate 4210. The same applies to the force exerted by other elastic elements in this article, which will not be repeated here.
[0105] Launching the object 200 requires the release mechanism 5100 to unlock the push plate 4210 by driving the locking member 4220. The user can operate the release mechanism 5100, which drives the locking member 4220, thereby unlocking the push plate 4210. With the push plate 4210 unlocked, the elastic potential energy of the first elastic member 4291 is released, causing the push plate 4210 to reset (move forward). When the push plate 4210 resets, it supports the object 200, thus generating force and launching it. It is understood that the launching mechanism 4200 can also be equipped with a second elastic member 4292. This second elastic member 4292 acts on the locking member 4220 to reset the locking member 4220 after launching the object 200, facilitating locking the push plate 4210 during the next installation of the object 200.
[0106] As shown in Figures 12 to 15, in some embodiments, the launching mechanism 4200 further includes a rotating member 4230, which is provided with a lug 4234 and a contact portion 4232. The releasing mechanism 5100 can drive the lug 4234 to rotate the rotating member 4230 and cause the contact portion 4232 to drive the locking member 4220 to unlock the push plate 4210.
[0107] Specifically, the rotating member 4230 is designed to be rotatable, and the lug 4234 and the contact portion 4232 are designed to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating member 4230. For example, the rotating member 4230 includes a central shaft portion 4233 and a lug 4234 and a contact portion 4232 provided on the central shaft portion 4233. The rotation axis of the rotating member 4230 is formed by the central shaft portion 4233. The release mechanism 5100 includes a reciprocating pusher 5110. Referring to the orientation in Figure 15, when the pusher 5110 moves forward, it pushes the lug 4234, forcing the rotating member 4230 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the rotating member 4230 causes the contact portion 4232 to push the locking member 4220. The locking member 4220 presses down to unlock the push plate 4210. By setting the rotating member 4230, the arrangement and cooperation between various structures are facilitated.
[0108] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some embodiments, the launching device 100 further includes an extension member 2500, which is adapted to be detachably connected to the first body 2000, and the slider 2100 is adapted to reciprocate to the extension member 2500 when the extension member 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected.
[0109] Specifically, the extension component 2500 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first body 2000, meaning the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 can be both connected and fixed, and can also be detached. When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are detached, the slider 2100 reciprocates on the first body 2000, meaning the reciprocating stroke of the slider 2100 is determined by the first body 2000 itself. When the extension component 2500 is connected to the first body 2000, the slider 2100 can reciprocate to the extension component 2500, meaning the reciprocating stroke of the slider 2100 is jointly determined by the first body 2000 and the extension component 2500. In this case, the reciprocating stroke of the slider 2100 can be increased, which is more conducive to the rotational acceleration of the object to be launched 200.
[0110] When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected, the slider 2100 can reciprocate to the extension component 2500. Therefore, when the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled, it is undesirable for the slider 2100 to reciprocate to the position of the extension component 2500, otherwise the slider 2100 will detach from the first body 2000. To address this, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, the first body 2000 further includes a limiting mechanism 2400. The limiting mechanism 2400 is adapted to avoid the slider 2100 when the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected, allowing the slider 2100 to reciprocate to the extension component 2500. It is also adapted to stop the slider 2100 when the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled, thereby preventing the slider 2100 from detaching.
[0111] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 2400 is a movable component that can both restrict the movement of the slider 2100 and release the restriction on the movement of the slider 2100.
[0112] When the extension component 2500 is connected to the first body 2000, the limiting mechanism 2400 changes accordingly. At this time, the limiting mechanism 2400 avoids the slider 2100, thereby releasing the restriction on the slider 2100. The slider 2100 can move from the first body 2000 to the extension component 2500, or from the extension component 2500 to the first body 2000. For example, in this case, the limiting mechanism 2400 leaves the movement path of the slider 2100, so that the slider 2100 will not be stopped by the limiting mechanism 2400 when it moves.
[0113] When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled, the limiting mechanism 2400 undergoes a corresponding change. At this time, the limiting mechanism 2400 stops the slider 2100, thereby restricting the slider 2100. The slider 2100 can only move back and forth within the first body 2000. When the slider 2100 moves in the direction of movement toward the extension component 2500, it will be stopped by the limiting mechanism 2400 and cannot detach from the first body 2000. For example, in this case, the limiting mechanism 2400 is located in the movement path of the slider 2100, so the slider 2100 will be stopped by the limiting mechanism 2400 when it moves.
[0114] Referring to Figures 16 to 18, in some embodiments, the extension member 2500 includes a protruding rod 2510, and the limiting mechanism 2400 includes a movable pin 2410; the protruding rod 2510 is adapted to drive the movable pin 2410 away from the movement path of the slider 2100 to avoid the slider 2100 when the extension member 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected; the movable pin 2410 is adapted to move into the movement path of the slider 2100 under the action of elastic force to stop the slider 2100 when the extension member 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled.
[0115] Specifically, referring to the orientation shown in Figure 18, when the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected, the protruding rod 2510 pushes the movable pin 2410 backward, forcing the movable pin 2410 to press down and thus leave the movement path of the slider 2100 (for example, the movable pin 2410 is provided with an inclined surface, and the protruding rod 2510 has a thrust inclined surface, forcing the movable pin 2410 to press down), thus avoiding the slider 2100. When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled, the movable pin 2410 returns to its original position (rises) under the action of elastic force and moves back to the movement path of the slider 2100, thus stopping the movement of the slider 2100.
[0116] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the first body 2000 is provided with a slide rail 2001, and the extension member 2500 is provided with an extension slide rail 2501. The extension slide rail 2501 and the slide rail 2001 are adapted to communicate when the extension member 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected, so that the slider 2100 can reciprocate between the slide rail 2001 and the extension slide rail 2501.
[0117] The slider 2100 can be locked onto the slide rail 2001. When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are disassembled, the slider 2100 can only reciprocate on the slide rail 2001. When the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected, the slider 2100 can move from the slide rail 2001 to the extension slide rail 2501, and can move from the extension slide rail 2501 to the slide rail 2001, increasing the stroke of the slider 2100's reciprocating movement.
[0118] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, in some embodiments, the first body 2000 is provided with a guide groove 2002, and the extension component 2500 is provided with an extension guide groove 2502. The guide groove 2002 and the extension guide groove 2502 are adapted to communicate when the extension component 2500 and the first body 2000 are connected. The object to be launched 200 is adapted to be launched along the guide groove 2002 and the extension guide groove 2502, so as to guide the launch of the object to be launched 200.
[0119] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the launching device 100 is configured in the shape of a knife, which enhances the enjoyment of competitive combat. For example, the second main body 5000 constitutes the handle, the extension component 2500, the first main body 2000, and the launcher 4000 constitute the blade.
[0120] This application also discloses a launching toy. As shown in FIG1, the launching toy includes an object to be launched 200 and the launching device 100 described above. It is understood that the launching device 100 of the launching toy in this embodiment adopts the technical solution of the above embodiment, and therefore has at least the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0121] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
