[Patent Document 1] Japanese Republished List No. 2017/064806

[The problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the technology described in the above-mentioned documents, a component called a "follower" is a necessary structure. In the case of feeding bullets from a magazine called a "follower" that does not have a support plate The automatic stopping mechanism based on the exhaustion of the bullet cannot be realized.

The object of the present invention is to provide a technique for solving the above-mentioned problems. [Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the toy gun according to the present invention includes a monitoring unit that monitors the movement of the bullet in the bullet path from the feed port where the bullet supplied from the magazine enters into the nozzle abutment position And the automatic stop control unit, even when the trigger is input in the firing mode, based on the output from the monitoring unit, it is determined that the movement of the bullet in the bullet path has stopped, and the bullet firing is stopped .

According to the present invention, even in a toy gun without a bullet support plate, an automatic stopping mechanism based on depletion of bullets can be realized.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be exemplarily described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the constituent elements described in the following embodiments are only examples, and the gist is not to limit the technical scope of the present invention to only these.

[First Embodiment] The toy gun 100 as the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Fig. 1 is a partially enlarged view showing the structure of the toy gun according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the toy gun 100 includes a monitoring unit 101 that monitors the movement of the bullet in the bullet passage 103, and the bullet 130 supplied from the magazine 120 enters the cavity chassis 140 (mechanical The supply port 104 in the cartridge starts to the nozzle abutment position 160 where the bullet 130 abuts the nozzle 150. In addition, the toy gun 100 includes an automatic stop control unit 102, and the automatic stop control unit 102 stops the firing of the bullet even when it is determined that the movement of the bullet in the bullet passage 103 is stopped even in a state where the firing mode trigger is input.

Even when the bullet 130 is supplied from a magazine 120 that does not have a support plate such as a continuous-fire magazine, by monitoring the behavior of the bullet in the bullet passage 103, it is possible to detect that the bullet is exhausted and automatically stop. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform real actions, and the user can get a sense of operation close to a real gun.

The monitoring unit 101 is an ON/OFF switch (on/off switch) provided on the bullet path 103. When the output from the ON/OFF switch 101 is continuously ON (opened) for the first time or continuously OFF (closed) for the second time, the automatic stop control unit 102 determines that the movement of the bullet in the bullet path 103 has stopped, and Automatic stop. That is, the current supplied from the battery 121 to the motor 123 via the trigger switch 122 is cut off. Here, the "1st time" and "2nd time" can be set arbitrarily by the program creator. Among them, the toy gun 100 is further equipped with an automatic stop canceling part 124, and when the magazine is loaded with bullets to perform a predetermined operation, the automatic stop is canceled, and the trigger is pulled again to fire the bullets.

Here, the first time and the second time measured by the automatic stop control unit 102 are times that are twice or more and 10 times or less the continuous shooting interval. For example, when the continuous firing interval is 0.07 seconds (13 shots are emitted per second), the automatic stop control unit 102 automatically stops when it detects that it is continuously turned on (ON) for 0.25 seconds or continuously turned off (OFF) for 0.25 seconds. The ON/OFF switch 101 is not turned on (ON) by the bullet that moves from the supply port 104 toward the nozzle abutment position 160, but is turned on (ON) by the bullet that is pushed back from the direction of the nozzle abutment position 160. Thereby, even if the bullet supply force of the continuous shot magazine is weak, the resistance generated by the switch will not hinder the bullet supply.

The ON/OFF switch 101 is an ultra-small micro switch having a pin push button 111. With respect to the BB bullet having a diameter of 6 mm and a passage width of about 7 mm, the pushing depth of the firing pin push button 111 is about 1 mm.

According to the nozzle 150, the compressed air generated by the BB bullet loaded from the nozzle abutment position 160 to the predetermined position of the inner barrel 170 due to the forward movement of the piston 180 is directed toward the front of the outer barrel (arrow 175 direction), which is not shown. )emission.

Fig. 2 is a partial enlarged view showing the structure of the toy gun 100 in a state where BB bullets are supplied from a magazine.

The ON/OFF switch 101 is provided on the outer inner wall of the curved (bending part) of the bullet path 103, and the BB bullet supplied from the supply port 104 below does not turn the ON/OFF switch 101 on and can move to The nozzle abuts position 160. Specifically, when the BB bullet passes toward the nozzle abutting position 160, it comes into contact with the firing pin push button 111. However, due to all the rebound tension of the firing pin pushing the button 111 itself, it cannot be pushed continuously only by the force when the BB bullet passes upward. That is, it will not be continuously turned on (ON) for 0.25 seconds. In other words, the ON/OFF switch 101 has a spring-back tension that does not affect the movement of the bullet from the supply port 104 toward the nozzle abutment position 160. Thereby, the movement of the bullet can be monitored without hindering the movement of the BB bullet due to the tension of the ON/OFF switch 101.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a situation where the firing pin is pushed to push the button 111. When the BB bullet advances upwards and moves to the nozzle abutment position 160, the pressure applied from the closed nozzle 150 causes the next bullet 331 to be pushed upward. The next bullet 331 pushed by the pressure from above retreats slightly. The nozzle 150 is closed, thereby exerting a pushing force on the next bullet 331 from above. At this time, the force of pushing the BB bullet from the magazine is also continuously applied, and a force is applied to the bullet in the passage from the up and down direction. Therefore, the BB bullet 332 moves to a position where the firing pin push button 111 can be continuously pushed. As a result, there are BB bullets in the magazine 120, and if the BB bullets are continuously supplied to the bullet path 103, the ON/OFF switch 101 alternately turns on (ON) and off (OFF) at about 0.07 second intervals. On the other hand, if there is no BB bullet in the magazine 120, the force pushing the BB bullet from the magazine 120 disappears, so the force applied to the BB bullet 331 only comes from the upper force. As a result, the BB bullet 332 cannot obtain the force to continuously push the firing pin to push the button 111. Therefore, the firing pin push button 111 is continuously turned off (OFF) for more than 0.25 seconds. The automatic stop control unit 102 detects this, and automatically stops the current supply from the trigger switch 122 to the motor 123.

The force of the spring (not shown) in the magazine 120 is weakened, and when the force of the upward BB projectile from the magazine 120 is infinitely close to 0, the BB projectile 332 may just push the firing pin to press the button 111. . In this case, when the nozzle 150 is opened to supply bullets, even if there is no pushing force from the magazine 120, the force generated when the pushed-in firing pin push button 111 returns to its original position can be used to load the next bullet 331 Push it to the feeding port. In other words, the ON/OFF switch 101 has a tension that assists the upward pushing of the bullet even in the vicinity of the spring release where the force of pushing the bullet on the magazine 120 is unstable.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to observe whether the BB bounces or not to move in the bullet path, and detect that the bullet in the magazine 120 is exhausted or the mainspring is exhausted.

Depending on the magazine, the number of loaded bullets is different, and the clockwork is also different, so it is impossible to detect the exhaustion of the bullets based on the count of the number of shots. However, with the above configuration, by monitoring the behavior of the BB bullet in the bullet path, it is possible to detect the depletion of the bullet or the clockwork when any magazine is assembled, and automatically stop it. In the state where the bullets are not released, there is no motor drive or piston and counterweight movement, so it can provide a realistic operation feeling very close to the real gun. In addition, the monitoring unit is not limited to the above-mentioned ON/OFF switch. It can be a switch of other mechanisms such as an optical switch.

[Second Embodiment] Next, the toy gun according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view for explaining the internal structure of the toy gun 400 according to this embodiment. Compared with the first embodiment described above, the toy gun according to this embodiment is different in that the firing pin push button 411 is provided at an upper position. The other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore, the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the position of the firing pin push button 411 is located higher than in the first embodiment, and is a straight part. Therefore, the firing pin push button 411 is not turned on, and the BB bomb It is impossible to move to the nozzle abutting position 160. Therefore, the ON/OFF switch 101 is turned on (ON) at the time when the BB bounce moves upward.

In this embodiment, it is also possible to observe whether the BB is moving or not moving in the bullet path, and it is possible to detect that the bullet in the magazine 120 is exhausted or the mainspring is exhausted.

[Other embodiments] The invention of the present application has been described above with reference to the embodiments, but the invention of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The configuration or details of the invention of the present application can be modified in various ways that can be understood by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the invention of the present application. In addition, a device obtained by combining each feature contained in each embodiment is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
