The grip plate 41 is configured to be mounted on the grip 11, thereby providing a position on the grip 11 where the splicing device 5 can be mounted. In this way, the grip plate 41 can be manufactured independently. A plurality of building block connecting protrusions 44 arranged on the grip plate 41 may be stuck and difficult to remove in the injection molding and demoulding process. However, the content of this embodiment can ensure the injection manufacturing efficiency of the grip plate 41. Furthermore, the gun body 1 and the grip plate 41 have different application requirements. The gun body 1 needs higher strength to support the mounting of other devices, and the grip plate 41 needs higher wear resistance. Through the technical solution of this embodiment, different rubber materials can be respectively used for injection molding according to actual application requirements, so as to improve the durability of the products.

The plurality of building block connecting protrusions 44 are arranged on the inserting plate 42, and the inserting plate 42 is inserted into at least one of the gun body 1 and the sliding sleeve 2. - It can be understood that the inserting plate 42 is arranged, which can provide the mounting position of the splicing device 5 at more positions outside the products, thus further improving the interactivity and extensibility of the products.
- It should be noted that the inserting plate 42 may be configured to be only inserted into and mounted on the gun body 1. The inserting plate 42 may also be configured to be only inserted into and mounted on the sliding sleeve 2. A plurality of inserting plates 42 can also be arranged, in which part of the inserting plates 42 are inserted into and mounted on the sliding sleeve 2, and other parts of inserting plates 42 are inserted into and mounted on the gun body 1.

- It can be understood that the fixing grooves 12 are symmetrically provided on two sides of the gun body 1. A balanced mounting position can be formed. A problem of unilateral weight bias during unilateral building block splicing is offset by the symmetrical layout of the two inserting plates 42, and the overall structural stability of the gun body 1 is improved.
- The fixing ring groove 121 on the side wall of the fixing groove 12 and the fixing step 422 on the side wall of the periphery of the inserting plate 42 form a multi-level nested fit, which limits the radial displacement and rotation of the inserting plate 42 in the fixing groove 12 and prevents the inserting plate 42 from loosening or even detaching when the building block is stressed. The contour of the groove wall of the fixing ring groove 121 adapts to the contour of the fixing step 422.
- The fixing post 421 on the back of the inserting plate 42 is inserted into the groove bottom of the fixing groove 12. The axial fixing is achieved through the interference fit between the fixing post 421 and the hole body at the groove bottom, so as to ensure that the inserting plate 42 is closely attached to the gun body 1.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 , in some embodiments of the toy launcher 10, part of the building block connecting protrusions 44 are integrally formed on the gun body 1. - It can be understood that the integrally forming arrangement can improve the connection strength between the building block connecting protrusion 44 and the gun body 1 and prevent the building block connecting protrusion 44 from detaching.

The trigger 31 is configured to trigger the launching component 32 when being active, so that the launching component 32 launches toy bullets. - It can be understood that the trigger 31 can be configured to be slidably or rotatably connected to the gun body 1. Sliding can be achieved by a sliding rail structure or a chute structure, and rotating can be achieved by a rotating shaft connection. The launching component 32 belongs to the prior art. Specifically, the launching component 32 can work under the trigger of the trigger 31. During working, the launching component 32 can impart a kinetic energy to the toy bullets, so that the toy bullets can obtain a certain initial velocity and slide out for launching.
- It should be noted that the launching component 32 can be of a manual energy storage launching structure in the prior art, and the launching component 32 can also be of a launching structure driven by a motor in the prior art. Specifically, the selection of launching components with different power sources (manual or electric) belongs to the conventional technical means that can be reasonably replaced by those skilled in the art, and the launching component 32 belongs to the prior art.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , in some embodiments of the toy launcher 10, the gun body 1 is provided with a magazine compartment 13. The toy launcher 10 further includes a magazine 6. The magazine 6 is detachably inserted into the magazine compartment 13. The magazine 6 is configured to store the toy bullets and supply the toy bullets to the launching component 32 for launching. It can be understood that the magazine compartment 13 is arranged, which provides a mounting position for the magazine 6. The magazine 6 is configured to store the toy bullets. - In some embodiments of the toy launcher 10, the diameter of the building block connecting post can be flexibly set. If a plurality of the building block connecting posts on a single splicing device 5 are arranged, the spacing between the building block connecting posts can also be flexibly set. The outer diameter of the building block connecting protrusion 44 can be flexibly set, and the spacing between adjacent building block connecting protrusions 44 can also be flexibly set. However, it should be ensured that the required interference fit can be achieved between the building block connecting post and the building block connecting protrusion after assembly.
- The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.
- The present disclosure relates to a toy launcher. The toy launcher achieves splicing extension of building blocks at any position on a surface of the toy launcher by arranging distributed building block connecting protrusions on outer side walls of a gun body and a sliding sleeve (such as a protrusion spacing is adapted to a standard building block unit pitch) and matching with a building block connecting post of a detachable splicing device. Users can flexibly mount a functional module (such as an aiming scope, a magazine extension component, etc.) or a decorative building block unit on a top of the gun body, a side of a grip or a sliding sleeve according to individual requirements. The building block unit is a splicing device, which breaks through limitation of a closed shell of the existing toy launcher on extensibility. In addition, users can flexibly choose different numbers of splicing devices with different shapes for assembly. Besides a filling and launching operation, more interaction manners between toys and users are provided to users, which improves an interaction degree of products.
- The solution of the present disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to the attached drawings. In the above-mentioned embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For the parts that are not described in detail in one embodiment, refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art should also know that the actions and modules involved in the specification are not necessarily essential to the present disclosure. In addition, it can be understood that the steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be adjusted, merged and deleted in sequence according to actual needs, and the modules in the device of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be merged, divided and deleted according to actual needs.
- Various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary, rather than exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the illustrated embodiments. The terminology used herein is selected to best explain the principles of various embodiments, practical application or improvement of technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary people in the technical field to understand various embodiments disclosed herein.
