DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0038] The present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1-4.

[0039] In an example of the present disclosure, there is provided a toy launcher.

[0040] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the toy launcher includes: [0041] a housing 1, provided with a mounting cavity 3, and a placement hole 2 formed in the housing 1, where the placement hole 2 is communicated with the mounting cavity 3, and the elastic member is mounted in the mounting cavity 3; [0042] an elastic member, detachably mounted in the mounting cavity 3; [0043] a mounting part, where the elastic member is sleeved in the mounting part, and the elastic member and the mounting part are located in the mounting cavity 3; and [0044] a locking assembly, configured for preventing detachment of the mounting part and the elastic member from the mounting cavity 3.

[0045] The mounting part mounted with the elastic member is placed in the mounting cavity 3 of the housing 1, and then the locking assembly is used to limit the mounting part and the elastic member, to ensure the mounting part and the elastic member are stably mounted in the mounting cavity 3. To replace the elastic member as needed, the locking assembly is released to remove the mounting part and the elastic member from the mounting cavity 3, thereby facilitating replacement and mounting of the elastic member, which minimizes the situation where a user encounters difficulties in mounting or replacing the elastic member due to uncertainty of a mounting position of the elastic member. Further, the user can stably mount the elastic member through the locking assembly, which avoids a decline of effect in launching a gun body after disassembly due to improper mounting.

[0046] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, in this example, the locking assembly includes a cover plate 4, the cover plate 4 is movably connected to the placement hole 2 to seal the placement hole 2, and the elastic member is a spring 5. The locking assembly further includes a guide column 6 and a support piece 7 configured for supporting the guide column 6, the mounting cavity 3 is provided with plug-in slots 8 configured for inserted connection of the support piece 7, and the spring 5 is partially sleeved around an outer periphery of the guide column 6.

[0047] The cover plate 4 is opened, and the guide column 6 is pulled until the guide column 6 and part of the spring 5 sleeved on the guide column 6 are pulled out of the mounting cavity 3, to remove the spring 5. Then a new spring 5 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the guide column 6, and the guide column 6 and the spring 5 are placed in the mounting cavity 3, such that the support piece 7 is inserted into the plug-in slot 8, to complete mounting of the spring 5. Arrangement of the support piece 7 and the plug-in slot 8 enables the spring 5 to be mounted in the mounting cavity 3 in a more stable manner. The guide column 6 is also capable of guiding the spring 5 sleeved thereon, and preventing the spring 5 from bending toward the placement hole 2, thereby avoiding a poor launching effect.

[0048] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, the locking assembly further includes a sleeving cylinder 9, the sleeving cylinder 9 is movably connected in the mounting cavity 3, and a length direction of the sleeving cylinder 9 is consistent with that of the guide column 6. When the spring 5 is mounted in the mounting cavity 3, the sleeving cylinder 9 partially wraps around one end of the guide column 6 away from the support piece 7.

[0049] The sleeving cylinder 9 partially sleeves and wraps around the guide column 6, such that the spring 5 sleeved outside the guide column 6 is restricted by both the guide column 6 and an inner side wall of the sleeving cylinder 9, and the spring 5 is less likely to detach from the guide column 6, thereby enhancing stability of the spring 5 mounted in the mounting cavity 3. To remove the spring 5 as needed, the sleeving cylinder 9 is moved to disengage the sleeving cylinder 9 from the guide column 6, such that the guide column 6 can be removed from the mounting cavity 3.

[0050] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, the locking assembly includes a rack 10 that is fixedly connected to the sleeving cylinder 9 and a gear set meshed with the rack 10. The locking assembly further includes a blocking member that blocks rotation of the gear set, and the blocking member is movably connected in the housing 1.

[0051] When the spring 5 needs to be firmly fixed, the blocking member abuts against one gear in the gear set to restrict rotation of the gear, such that the entire gear set can hardly rotate, the sleeving cylinder 9 is limited to move, and the sleeving cylinder 9 can hardly slide to a position where it is disengaged from the guide column 6. When the spring 5 needs to be removed, the blocking member is moved to detach the blocking member from the gear set, which releases rotation restriction on the gear set, such that the rack 10 is capable of moving in a direction away from the guide column 6, and the sleeving cylinder 9 is disengaged from the guide column 6, thereby releasing the restriction of the guide column 6 on the spring 5.

[0052] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, the blocking member includes an abutting block 11, a limiting block 12, and a plug-in column 13, where the abutting block 11 is fixedly connected to one gear in the gear set, the limiting block 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, the limiting block 12 is located on a side of an abutting gear close to the cover plate 4, the limiting block 12 is provided with a torsional spring 14, the abutting block 11 and the limiting block 12 abut against each other to restrict rotation of the gear, and the torsional spring 14 restricts the limiting block 12 from moving in a direction away from the gear.

[0053] The housing 1 is provided with an inserting hole 15 configured for inserted connection of the plug-in column 13, a guide surface is arranged on a side of the limiting block 12 close to the inserting hole 15, and the guide surface is inclined. When the plug-in column 13 is inserted into the housing 1, the plug-in column 13 abuts against the guide surface, and the abutting block 11 is detached from the limiting block 12.

[0054] When the sleeving cylinder 9 needs to be moved, the plug-in column 13 is inserted into the inserting hole 15, such that the plug-in column 13 abuts against and slides along the guide surface, and a height of the plug-in column 13 remains unchanged. The limiting block 12 is pushed by cooperation between the guide surface and the plug-in column 13, causing the limiting block 12 to move in a direction of approaching the placement hole 2, such that the limiting block 12 is lifted, the limiting block 12 is detached from the abutting block 11, and the limiting block 12 in the housing 1 is moved from outside of the housing 1.

[0055] When the plug-in column 13 is disengaged from the housing 1, the limiting block 12, due to an elastic force from the torsional spring 14, is hardly detached from the gear, but maintains a stable state of abutting against the gear, such that the limiting block 12 stably restricts the rotation of the gear set, thereby effectively reducing free detachment of the limiting block 12 from the gear after the plug-in column 13 is disengaged from the housing 1.

[0056] When the limiting block 12 is detached from the abutting block 11, the sleeving cylinder 9 can be manually moved, such that the sleeving cylinder 9 moves in a direction away from the guide column 6, and both the guide column 6 and the spring 5 can be removed from the mounting cavity 3.

[0057] In this example, one end of the plug-in column 13 is further provided with a larger force applying part 16, such that the plug-in column 13 forms a key structure, thereby facilitating movement and force application of the plug-in column 13.

[0058] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, a wall of the placement hole 2 is provided with a sliding groove, and sliding rods capable of sliding in the sliding groove are arranged on both sides of the cover plate 4 in a width direction. The sliding rods are also capable of rotating in sliding grooves, the sliding groove is located at one end of the placement hole 2 in a length direction thereof, and the other end of the placement hole 2 away from the sliding groove is further provided with an inserting hole. An end portion of the cover plate 4 is provided with an insertion sheet 17, and when the insertion sheet 17 is inserted into the inserting hole, a side wall of the insertion sheet 17 abuts against an inner side wall of the inserting hole tightly.

[0059] The cover plate 4 is rotated until the cover plate 4 is parallel to a length direction of the placement hole 2, then the cover plate 4 slides until the insertion sheet 17 is inserted into the inserting hole, and the insertion sheet 17 abuts against the inserting hole tightly for firm engagement, such that the cover plate 4 is fixed, and the cover plate 4 is hardly detached from the placement hole 2, thereby ensuring the cover plate 4 is capable of effectively sealing the placement hole 2.

[0060] An outer side wall of the cover plate 4 is further provided with an anti-slip pattern that facilitates sliding of the cover plate 4, such that the cover plate 4 slides in an easier manner.

[0061] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, the outer side wall of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to a pressing block 18, and the pressing block 18 is capable of rotating to abut against the outer side wall of the cover plate 4 tightly.

[0062] After the cover plate 4 covers the placement hole 2, the pressing block 18 is rotated until the pressing block 18 rotates to an outer side of the cover plate 4, and the pressing block 18 abuts against the outer side wall of the cover plate 4 tightly, such that the cover plate 4 is less likely to slide or rotate to a position of detachment from the placement hole 2.

[0063] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, when the spring 5 is mounted in the mounting cavity 3, the spring 5 is in a compressed state. The support piece 7 is rectangular, and the plug-in slots 8 are located on both sides of the mounting cavity 3. When the support piece 7 is inserted into the plug-in slot 8, a top end of the support piece 7 abuts against a bottom wall of the cover plate 4.

[0064] As the housing 1 has a certain thickness, when the spring 5 is mounted in the mounting cavity 3, the spring 5 is arranged deeper in the mounting cavity 3 corresponding to a muzzle, and the support piece 7 extends to the placement hole 2. When the spring 5 needs to be removed, a force is applied to part of the support piece 7 located at the placement hole 2, to remove one end of the spring 5. Since the spring 5 in the mounting cavity 3 is in a compressed state, when one end of the spring 5, driven by the guide column 6, moves to outside of the placement hole 2, an end portion of the spring 5 remains abutted against the support piece 7. When one end of the spring 5 is moved to the outside of the placement hole 2, the spring 5, due to its increased length, can hardly fall into the mounting cavity 3, such that the spring 5 can be removed from the mounting cavity 3 in an easier manner.

[0065] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, in this example, a protruding strip 19 is arranged at one end of the support piece 7 close to the cover plate 4.

[0066] In a process of removing the support piece 7 from the plug-in slot 8, friction with the plug-in slot 8 occurs, and arrangement of the protruding strip 19 makes it easier to apply an force through the support piece 7, thereby facilitating removal of the support piece 7 from the mounting cavity 3.

[0067] The above are preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape and principles of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
