The present invention is related to a continuous shooting device with a controllable arrow chain structure, and particularly to the technology applied in the field of shooting.
In the early shooting sports, bullet shooting devices have continuous shooting structures, such as magazines or bullet chains; for example, Taiwan new model patent No. M627524 discloses a bullet chain in a simulated bouncing chain structure of a toy gun. However, in the shooting sport of bows and arrows, the user must draw and mount bows and arrows one by one before shooting.
The shooting devices using bows and arrows do not have the above-mentioned bullet chain. Some manufactures developed new type of arrow boxes, for example, TW invention patent No. I738463 discloses a crossbow arrow loading device enabling a user to perform continuous shooting operations. However, compared with the bullet chain, the conventional arrow box has several shortcomings, first the number of shots is limited by a height of the arrow box, the number of bows and arrows that the arrow box can hold is limited, and the heavy arrow box loaded too many arrows also increases the user's burden on operation; secondly, the disassembly operation of the arrow box is too time-consuming, and it undoubtedly affects the user's concentration and stability in shooting.
An objective of the present invention is to increase the number of arrows and maintain the stability and accuracy of continuous shooting, and provide an operation that is more simple and easy to use, so that a user just needs to directly put an arrow chain with multiple arrows into the continuous shooting device and then starts shooting.
In order to achieve the objective, the present invention provides a continuous shooting device with a controllable arrow chain structure. The continuous shooting device includes a shooting body, a belt chain assembly, an arrow driving assembly, a string firing assembly, and a driving assembly. The shooting body has a driving chamber disposed therein, and a chain hole cut through a side of the shooting body to other side of the shooting body to connect the driving chamber. The belt chain assembly is disposed in the driving chamber, and includes a driving block configured to engage with an arrow chain, and a slider assembly configured to control movement of the driving block, wherein the driving block corresponds in position to the chain hole and is movably engaged with the arrow chain. The arrow driving assembly is disposed in the driving chamber, and includes a push shaft, an arm assembly, and a push arm, wherein the push shaft is movably disposed in the driving chamber and adjacent to the slider assembly, a moving direction of the push shaft is the same as a moving direction of the slider assembly, an end of the arm assembly is mounted with two ends of the push shaft and extended toward the driving block, and the other end of the arm assembly is pivoted with an end of the push arm, the other end of the push arm is pivoted with the driving chamber, movement of the push shaft makes the arm assembly drive the push arm to longitudinally swing, and the end of the push arm that is pivoted with the arm assembly is longitudinally swung toward the arrow chain, wherein when the push arm is swung, arrows on the arrow chain are pushed to escape and fall on a top surface of the push arm. The string firing assembly is disposed in the driving chamber, and includes a string configured to push the slider assembly to move. A part of the driving assembly is disposed in the driving chamber, another part of the driving assembly is disposed outside the shooting body, the driving assembly includes a track rod assembly and a sliding member assembly, the track rod assembly is fastened in the driving chamber, and a part of the sliding member assembly is assembled with the track rod assembly and movable along the track rod assembly close to or away from the slider assembly, another part of the sliding member assembly that is disposed in the driving chamber further comprises a carrying portion configured to clip the string, and a pushing portion configured to push the push shaft to move.

Another part of the sliding member assembly 62 disposed in the driving chamber 12 includes a carrying portion 621 configured to clip the string 51, and a pushing portion 622 configured to push the push shaft 40 to move. In addition, the outer control member 63 is disposed outside the gun cover 11 and connected to the sliding member assembly 62 via a connecting rod 64 passing through the sliding hole 111, and the outer control member 63 controls the sliding member assembly 62 to move close to or away from the slider assembly 21 and the push shaft 40.
The gun cover 11 can be pivotally swung relative to the main gun shell 10 and opened, an end of the arrow chain 300 loaded with the arrow 301 is placed into the driving chamber 12 and corresponds in position to the driving block 20, so that the driving block 20 is engaged with the arrow chain 300. After the above-mentioned operations are completed, a user can cover the gun cover 11 on the main gun shell 10. Next, the user pulls the outer control member 63 from an end of the shooting hole 103 to the rear support part 101, the outer control member 63 controls the sliding member assembly 62 to move along the arrangement direction of the track rod assembly 61 toward the slider assembly 21; during the moving process, the carrying portion 621 of the sliding member assembly 62 pulls the string 51, and the string 51 touches the slider assembly 21 under the continuous operations, and the same time the pushing portion 622 also touches the push shaft 40; next, the continuous movement of the outer control member 63 makes the string 51 push the slider assembly 21 to move toward the rear support part 101, so as to make the pushing portion 622 push the push shaft 40 to move toward the rear support part 101; during the moving process of the slider assembly 21, the driving block 20 is controlled to push the arrow chain 300 to move, and the movement of the push shaft 40 indirectly drives an end of the push arm 42 to upwardly swing; during the swinging process of the push arm 42, the driving block 20 controls the movement of the arrow chain 300 and makes the arrow 301 correspond in position to the push arm 42, the push arm 42 pushes the arrow 301 to escape from the arrow chain 300 and fall on the top surface of the push arm 42. After the arrow 301 falls on the top surface of the push arm 42, the string 51 is located behind the arrow 301, when the arrow 301 is fully separated from the arrow chain 300, the user can trigger shooting, so that the string 51 is ejected in the direction of the shooting hole 103 to push against the arrow 301 to move quickly in the direction of the shooting hole 103 and shoot out of the shooting body 100.
