The present invention relates to a toy gun and in particular to a toy gun and a fast piercing structure for an air bottle thereof.
The current toy gun which uses an air bottle as a power source to actuate bullets utilizes the pressure generated by the air steel bottle to provide the necessary force to fire the bullets. Besides, the air steel bottle disposed in the gun body (or the magazine) is rotated into the gun body using a screw seat such that the air steel bottle is pushed and positioned inside the gun body. On the other hand, a piercing pin is disposed at the bottle mouth of the air steel bottle in the gun body. When the air steel bottle is pushed into the gun body, the bottle mouth of the air steel bottle is pierced by the piercing pin and then the compressed air in the air steel bottle is released to provide the power to fire the plastic bullets.
However, the traditional toy gun uses the air steel bottle which is pierced by rotating the screw seat into the gun body, which is time-consuming and inconvenient for the user when every second counts, especially in a revival game. Thus, an improvement in the toy gun is required
In view of this, the inventor pays special attention to research with the application of related theory and tries to improve and overcome the above disadvantages regarding the prior art, which becomes the improvement target of the inventor.
One objective of the present invention is to provide a toy gun and a fast piercing structure for an air bottle thereof, which uses a press set disposed at the bottle lid to elastically press the piercing pin such that the air bottle can be pierced. In this way, a structure for installing the air bottle easily and for piercing the air bottle quickly is obtained.
To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a fast piercing structure for an air bottle of a toy gun, used to install the air bottle, comprising an air cylinder, a valve seat, a bottle lid, a piercing pin, and a press set. The air cylinder has a shell body and a receiving space for receiving the air bottle. The shell body forms a first connecting opening and a second connecting opening at the opposite ends of the receiving space. The valve seat is disposed at the first connecting opening. The valve seat has an air channel communicating with the receiving space. The bottle lid is assembled to the second connecting opening. The bottle lid has a throughhole communicating with the receiving space. The piercing pin is disposed passing through the throughhole. The piercing pin has an outer end exposed out of the bottle lid and a tip end disposed opposite to the outer end. The press set has a base holding the bottle lid, an elastic part clamped between the bottle lid and the base, and a plug. The plug is disposed passing through the outer end of the piercing pin and the base.
To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a toy gun comprising a gun body and a fast piercing structure for an air bottle. The fast piercing structure for an air bottle is combined with the gun body to form the toy gun.
Compared with the prior art, the toy gun and the fast piercing structure for an air bottle of the present invention have the valve seat disposed at one end of the air cylinder, the bottle lid disposed at the other end of the air cylinder, and the piercing pin disposed passing in the bottle lid in which the elastic part of the press set can move the piercing pin toward the air bottle. Thus, when the base of the press set is pushed, the elastic part of the press set will be pressed by the base to be elastically compressed. At this time, the base is pressed to move up and moves the piercing pin toward the air bottle to pierce the air bottle. Consequently, the objective of piercing the air bottle quickly is achieved. Also, the convenience and practicality of the present invention are enhanced.
The detailed description and technical details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying figures are only for reference and explanation, but not to limit the scope of the present invention.

The air cylinder 10 has a shell body 11 and a receiving space 100 for receiving the air bottle 2. The shell body 11 forms a first connecting opening 101 and a second connecting opening 102 at the opposite ends of the receiving space 100. The air bottle 2 is inserted into the receiving space 100 through the second connecting opening 102. Besides, in the current embodiment, the air cylinder 10 is disposed in the grip of the gun body. In practice, the air cylinder 10 can also be disposed in the magazine, depending on the requirements of the user.
The valve seat 20 is disposed at the first connecting opening 101 and has an air channel 200 communicating with the receiving space 100. Preferably, the valve seat 20 forms a contact space 201 on the side touching the air cylinder 10 corresponding to the outer shape of the air bottle 2.
The valve seat 20 is provided with a plurality of grooves 21 on an inner wall of the contact space 201. The grooves 21 form gaps when one end of the air bottle 2 is pressed against the contact space 201.
Preferably, the fast piercing structure 1 for an air bottle further comprises a first O ring 25 which is disposed between the air cylinder 10 and the valve seat 20. The first O ring 25 is used to keep the air cylinder 10 airtight from the valve seat 20.
The bottle lid 30 is assembled to the second connecting opening 102 and has a throughhole 300 communicating with the receiving space 100.
Preferably, the fast piercing structure 1 for an air bottle further comprises a second O ring 35 which is disposed between the air cylinder 10 and the bottle lid 30. The second O ring 35 is used to keep the air cylinder 10 airtight from the bottle lid 30.
Moreover, the piercing pin 40 is disposed passing through the throughhole 300 of the bottle lid 30. The piercing pin 40 has an outer end 41 exposed out of the bottle lid 30 and a tip end 42 disposed opposite to the outer end 41. The tip end 42 is used to pierce the air bottle 2 received in the receiving space 100.
Preferably, the fast piercing structure 1 for an air bottle further comprises a third O ring 45 which is disposed between the bottle lid 30 and the piercing pin 40. The third O ring 45 is used to keep the air cylinder 10 airtight from the piercing pin 40.
The press set 50 has a base 51 holding the bottle lid 30, an elastic part 52 elastically clamped between the bottle lid 30 and the base 51, and a plug 53. The plug 53 is disposed passing through the outer end 41 of the piercing pin 40 and the base 51.
In the current embodiment, the elastic part 52 is a compression spring. Besides, the air cylinder 10 forms a plurality of first threads 12 on the inner wall of the side connecting the bottle lid 30. The bottle lid 30 forms a plurality of second threads 31 on the side connecting the air cylinder 10. The bottle lid 30 is combined with the air cylinder 10 through the second threads 31 screwing to the first threads 12.

Further, a passing hole 410 is disposed at the outer end 41 of the piercing pin 40. The base 51 has a plug hole 511 penetrating through the base 51 and being vertical to the axis of the piercing pin 40. Also, wherein the plug 53 is disposed passing through the plug hole 511 and the passing hole 410. Besides, the base 51 is provided with a positioning hole 512 corresponding to the throughhole 300 of the bottle lid 30; the outer end 41 of the piercing pin 40 is positioned in the positioning hole 512. Thus, the press set 50 can elastically push the piercing pin 40 to move the piercing pin 40 toward the air bottle 2 to further pierce the air bottle 2.
