Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The technical field of the present disclosure relates to a toy gun, and in particular, to a toy gun with a pressure diverter.

Description of Related Art

The related-art toy guns mostly include a firing pin disposed on the gas valve area of the pressure cylinder in the air gun, such that after the trigger of the gun body is pressed, it is able to drive the hammer to strike the firing pin, and the firing pin further strikes the gas valve. Once the gas valve of the pressure cylinder is knocked open by the firing pin, the gas inside the gas cylinder is released to shoot the bullet out as being used for the driving source of firing the bullet.

In addition, a gas diverter valve is typically installed between the barrel and the piston of the toy gun, allowing a portion of the gas to be used for firing the bullet and another portion of the gas to push the piston. The piston then further drives the hammer to lease the firing pin in order to prepare for the next firing shot.

However, the internal of the aforementioned gas diverter valve is equipped with a spring, and the airflow direction is controlled via the pressure force, such that a portion of the pressure is consumed by the spring. In addition, since the gas diverter valve has a greater number of component parts, it is likely to cause the drawbacks of gas diverter valve consuming a greater amount of pressure, complicated component parts and assembly process as well as high cost.

In view of the above, the inventor seeks to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the current technology and aims to provide an effective solution through extensive researches along with utilization of academic principles and knowledge.

SUMMARY OF PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure provides a toy gun with a pressure diverter, and the pressure diverter only uses a first outlet hole and a second outlet hole for divergence, such that the pressure diverter is able to achieve the merits of easy control of gas flow, less consumption of pressure, simple structure, facilitated assembly and low cost.

In an exemplary embodiment, the preset invention provides a toy gun with pressure diverter having: a gun body having a barrel and a gas flow conduit arranged inside; an action assembly installed on the gun body and having a piston; and a pressure diverter received in the gun body and arranged between the barrel, the gas flow conduit and the piston; the gas diverter having a gas collection cavity and an inlet hole, a first outlet hole and at least one second outlet hole communicating to the gas collection cavity; the inlet hole arranged corresponding to the gas flow conduit, the first outlet hole arranged corresponding to the barrel, the at least one second outlet hole arranged corresponding to the piston, and a cross sectional area of the first outlet hole being greater than a cross sectional area of the at least one second outlet hole.

In view of the above, as the cross-sectional area of the first outlet hole is greater than the cross-sectional area of the second outlet hole, it is able to control the outlet volume flowing to the barrel to be greater than the outlet volume flowing to the piston. Accordingly, most of the gas volume may be used for firing the bullet to achieve the advantageous effect of excellent gas flow divergence via the pressure diverter.

The firing pin 62 abuts against the trigger 61 and is configured to be pressed by the hammer 51 for striking the switch valve 4. The fifth restoring spring 63 is clamped between the gun body 1 and trigger 61. The sixth restoring spring 61 is clamped between the gun body 1 and the firing pin 62, and drives the firing pin 62 and the switch valve 4 to be dislocated.

FIG. 3 to FIG. 8 are schematic views showing the state of use of the toy gun 10 of the present disclosure. First, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user pulls the action 21 in the direction away from the barrel 11, the action 21 is able to drive the piston 22 to push the hammer 51 to move rightward to the end, and during the same time, the trigger 21 also drives the bullet feeding tube 23 to move away from the barrel 11 via the piston 22 and the connecting shaft 25, allowing the bullet 200 to enter the area between the barrel 11 and the magazine 13 from the magazine 13.

Second, as shown in FIG. 4, after the user releases the action 21, the first restoring spring 24 drives the action 21 to move in the direction toward the barrel 11 and also drives the piston 22 to push the bullet feeding tube 23. The bullet feeding tube 23 then feeds the bullet 200 into the barrel 11, and during the same time, the third restoring spring 52 drives the hammer 51 to move toward the direction of the piston 22 such that the hammer 51 is blocked by the hammer latch 53 in position.

Third, as show in FIG. 5, when the user presses the trigger 61, the trigger 61 abuts against the firing pin 62 such that the firing pin 62 is in the horizontal state, and during the same time, the trigger 61 also pushes the hammer latch 53 away to release the hammer 51. Next, the hammer 51 is driven by the third restoring spring 52 to move in the direction toward the piston 22 and to strike the switch valve 4.

Fourth, as shown in FIG. 6, when the switch valve 4 is struck, the air chamber 14 is opened, and the gas of the gas cylinder 100 flows into the gas collection cavity 31 of the pressure diverter 3 via the gas chamber 14 and the gas flow conduit 12. Next, a portion of the gas flows to the barrel 11 via the first outlet hole 33 to push and fire the bullet 200. In addition, another portion of the gas flows to the piston 22 via the second outlet hole 34 to push the piston 22, the action 21 and the hammer 51 to move in the direction away from the barrel 11.

Fifth, as shown in FIG. 7, when the action 21 moves in the direction away from the barrel 11, it is able to drive the bullet feeding tube 23 to move away from the barrel 11, allowing the bullet 200 to enter the area between the barrel 11 and the magazine 13. When the hammer 51 moves in the direction away from the barrel 11, the firing pin 62 is released, and the sixth restoring spring 64 is able to drive the firing pin 62 and the switch valve 4 to be dislocated, and the switch valve 4 closes the gas chamber 14.

Sixth, as shown in FIG. 8, after the gas chamber 14 is closed, the gas no longer flows into the piston 22 via the second outlet hole 34, and the first restoring spring 24 is able to drive the action 21 to move in the direction toward the barrel 11 and is also able to drive to the piston 22 to push the bullet feeding tube 23. The bullet feeding tube 23 then feeds the bullet 200 into the barrel 11, and during the same time, the third restoring spring 52 drives the hammer 51 to move toward the direction of the piston 22 such that the hammer 51 is blocked by the hammer latch 53 in position. As the aforementioned steps are performed in cycle, it is able to complete continuous firing of shots.

Accordingly, the present disclosure uses the pressure diverter 3 to replace the known gas diverter valve. Since the pressure diverter 3 only uses the first outlet hole 33 and the second outlet hole 34 for divergence, such that the pressure diverter is able to achieve the merits of easy control of gas flow, less consumption of pressure, simple structure, facilitated assembly and low cost.

In addition, as the cross-sectional area of the first outlet hole 33 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the second outlet hole 34, it is able to control the outlet volume flowing to the barrel 11 to be greater than the outlet volume flowing to the piston 22. Accordingly, most of the gas volume may be used for firing the bullet 200 to achieve the advantageous effect of excellent gas flow divergence via the pressure diverter 3.

In view of the above, the toy gun with a pressure diverter of the present disclosure is able to achieve the expected purpose of use and to overcome known drawbacks.
