A transmission assembly 33 is disposed within the housing 1, the transmission assembly 33 being adapted to receive torque and transmit the torque to the intermittent gear 34. The intermittent gear 34 is rotatably disposed in the housing 1, the intermittent gear 34 is in driving connection with the transmission assembly 33, and the intermittent gear 34 is driven by the transmission assembly 33 to rotate relative to the housing 1, so as to transmit power to the rack 36. The material pushing seat 35 is arranged in the material discharging channel 12 in a sliding mode, and the rack 36 is arranged on the material pushing seat 35; the rack 36 is used for intermittently meshing with the intermittent gear 34 to drive the material pushing seat 35 to slide in the discharging channel 12; the pusher block 35 is adapted to move reciprocally within the outfeed channel 12 to eject toy balls or to provide space for toy balls to fall from the inlet 11 into the outfeed channel 12. The restoring element 37 is disposed in the housing 1 and is used for providing an acting force opposite to a sliding direction of the material pushing seat 35 driven by the rack 36.

It will be appreciated that the intermittent gear 34 may be driven to rotate by the transmission assembly 33, such that the intermittent gear 34 intermittently engages and disengages the rack 36 during one rotation; specifically, when the intermittent gear 34 rotates and is meshed with the rack 36, the intermittent gear 34 drives the material pushing seat 35 to move in the discharging channel 12 by overcoming the elasticity of the elastic member 37 through the rack 36, and when the material pushing seat 35 moves to a preset position by resetting, the toy ball in the material inlet 11 is not blocked any more, and then falls into the discharging channel 12; subsequently, with the further rotation of the intermittent gear 34, the intermittent gear 34 and the rack 36 will be disengaged from each other, that is, the intermittent gear 34 will be disengaged from the rack 36, the restoring member 37 will be released, and the elastic force thereof will drive the material pushing seat 35 to push the toy ball to slide, so that the toy ball will be ejected out of the housing 1; finally, the intermittent gear 34 and the rack 36 will re-engage with the next rotation cycle of the intermittent gear 34; thus, the material pushing seat 35 can reciprocate in the discharging channel 12 and continuously launch toy balls in the moving process; in conclusion, the continuous launching of the toy ball is realized, the step of manually compressing air is omitted, the operation is simple and convenient, and the age-universal range of the product is widened.

The material shifting member 22 is slidably disposed in the material inlet cavity 13, and the material shifting member 22 can guide the toy balls in the material inlet cavity 13 to the material inlet 11 in sequence when sliding.

Understandably, the sliding of the material shifting part 22 can loosen the toy balls in the feeding cavity 13 to a certain extent, so as to avoid the toy balls from being stuck on the side wall of the feeding cavity 13 and being unable to fall into the feeding port 11.

As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes an elastic member 23 in some embodiments, and the material pushing seat 35 may be provided with a guiding surface 351. The elastic member 23 is disposed in the casing 1, and the elastic member 23 is used for providing an acting force for pushing the material poking member 22 against the guiding surface 351, so that the material poking member 22 is pushed by the guiding surface 351 to slide in the material feeding cavity 13 when the material pushing seat 35 slides.

It can be understood that the material ejecting member 22 is always pressed against the surface of the guiding surface 351 by the elastic member 23, so that the material ejecting member 22 slides along the surface profile of the guiding surface 351 during the reciprocating movement of the material pushing seat 35; therefore, with the different contact positions of the material poking piece 22 and the guide surface 351, the material poking piece 22 slides in the material feeding cavity 13 relative to the shell 1, and the purpose of loosening the toy balls in the material feeding cavity 13 is achieved. Further, a track for guiding the material setting member 22 to slide may be provided on the housing 1, so that the material setting member 22 can slide only in a predetermined direction under the support of the guide surface 351.

It will also be appreciated that the kickoff 22 may be provided with a kickoff plate 221 or a kickoff roller in some embodiments. The kick-out plate or the kick-out roller can push and hold the toy ball in the feeding cavity 13 to move, so that the toy ball is prevented from being stuck and falling smoothly. Of course, other structures capable of supporting the toy ball to move may be provided on the kicker 22.

It will be appreciated that each guide channel 16 may be configured to have a curvature that guides the toy ball to slide to a predetermined position, and the toy ball will slide to the lowest position of the guide channel 16, i.e. to the kick-out member 22, under the action of its own weight after falling into the guide channel 16. The top of the kick-off member 22 may be provided with a kick-off plate 221 inclined toward the material inlet 11, and the kick-off plate 221 is used to guide the toy balls to move toward the direction close to the material inlet 11.

It will be further appreciated that in practice, each guide channel 16 will guide the toy ball to slide onto the kick-off member 22, and then, with the kick-off member 22 moving, provide a space for the toy ball to fall into the inlet 11, so that the toy ball slides along the contour of the top of the kick-off member 22 in a direction approaching the inlet 11.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the trigger mechanism 3 further includes a trigger 31, a switch, and an actuating member 32 in some embodiments.
