Description

  The present invention relates to a battery pack with a connector used for connecting to an operating device using a battery or connecting to a charging device for charging, and an electric toy gun using the battery pack.

  There are a wide variety of instruments and devices that use batteries, but there are questions about whether or not batteries can be replaced quickly. Among them, in the case of an electric toy gun, there is no counterattack while the batteries cannot be replaced. It is a matter of life and death because it is possible. It is necessary to prepare a charged spare battery and replace the battery as soon as possible in order to develop the game advantageously.

  However, none of the conventional batteries have connecting means except for the 006p type. Even in the case of a 006p type battery, it is necessary to fit a snap-type connector to two electrodes. Moreover, since the positive and negative electrodes are exposed side by side, there is a risk of short circuit, and this is even more so in the case of an assembled battery with a high current value. In the case of batteries using other types of connectors, the cord must be pulled out and the connector attached to the tip of the battery must be removed, making it a two-step operation and not a one-touch attachment / detachment. It will take time.

  In addition, when using AA type dry batteries, a plurality of batteries are used to obtain the desired power, so it is not easy to put in and take out many of these batteries. Used batteries and unused batteries If it gets mixed up, it means that everything will be off. It is not known that such a battery that is functionally useful can be easily and reliably attached and detached with one touch even in a situation where the face is full.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and the problem is to provide a battery pack with a connector that can be attached to and detached from an operating device using the battery or a charging device with one touch. is there. Another object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe battery pack with a connector. Still another object of the present invention is to provide an electric toy gun that uses such a battery pack and has high attack and counterattack.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a battery pack that includes or is connected to the actuating device using a battery, a connector to be used for or to connect to the charging device for charging, operation consists of a battery body portion to be fitted in the battery housing chamber provided in the actuating device when connecting to the device, is provided in the battery accommodating chamber or the charging device, and a connector to be connected by one touch to the connection portion, the The connecting portion has a slit shape to be inserted from one side, and the connector has a connector engaging portion to be inserted from one side to the slit-like connecting portion, and the other side of the positive electrode is on one of the left and right side surfaces of the connector engaging portion. provided separately connector terminals of the negative electrode, the by sliding while in contact with the slit-shaped connection portion and the connector engaging portion, and electrically and mechanically connected state Ri, shall chromatic at least one of the long connection terminals in the sliding direction connection or connector for the one end portion of the connector engagement portion into small round shape, the other end portion is formed on the great circle shape Thus, a means is adopted in which it is configured so that it can be inserted into the connecting portion only from one end portion of the small circle shape .

  In the present invention, a connector is composed of a conductor and has a meaning that is a device that is mechanically and electrically connected to another conductor or terminal. It is a feature of the present invention that the connection of the battery satisfies both the electrical connection and the mechanical connection at the same time, and is particularly detachable by a one-touch operation.

  For this reason, the battery pack of the present invention comprises a battery body and a connector. The battery body is fitted into a battery housing chamber provided in an operating device that uses the battery pack. The battery housing chamber to be fitted includes a space that can accommodate the battery main body with a margin, as well as one that is formed in a size and shape that matches perfectly. The connector is one-touch connected to a connection portion provided in the battery housing chamber or the charging device. One-touch means that the connection state is established by only one operation. However, when a drop-off prevention means is provided in the connected state, an operation to release the drop-off prevention means at the time of removal must be interposed. I don't get it.

The connecting portion and the connector need to be in a connected state by sliding while contacting. This may be understood as synonymous with being said to be partially sliding. For this purpose, a connector terminal that is long in the sliding direction is required, but such a connector terminal may be provided in at least one of the connection portion and the connector. When it is long in the sliding direction, it means that it has a length that can be slid, and does not necessarily mean an elongated form.

It is desirable that the connector and the connecting portion slide while contacting with each other by an operation when connecting the connector to the connecting portion. By sliding while contacting, the connection terminal is rubbed and polished for a considerable length each time it is attached / detached, so there is no room for an oxide film to be prevented from becoming non-conductive.

The connector terminals are provided at the left and right parts of a certain member so that they are not exposed side by side as in the 006P type. As a result, even an assembled battery having a high current value is highly safe.

  A battery pack with a connector according to the present invention has a plurality of battery elements and a terminal mounting portion combined with a connector terminal connected to a necessary electrode among them, and the plurality of batteries and the terminal mounting portion. Can be integrated into a single body by a jacket, which is most desirable in practice. In this embodiment, a plurality of batteries are integrally wrapped with a jacket, and serve as a grip when the connector terminal located at one end of the battery is attached to or detached from the connecting portion of the operating device or the charging device.

  In the electric toy gun using the battery pack with a connector having such a configuration, it is desirable that a battery housing chamber is provided in the gun body, and a connection portion is provided in the battery housing chamber. For example, if the battery pack with a connector is made small enough to fit inside a barrel or grip, the outer shape of the gun can be integrated smartly.

  In such a toy gun, by inserting the battery pack into the battery housing chamber, the connector and the connecting portion are mechanically connected, and an electric circuit is formed to be operable. Such a battery pack with a connector can be attached and detached with a single touch, so that the prepared spare battery can be exchanged instantly, so that it is possible to advantageously develop a survival game or the like without taking the time to attack or counterattack. . In addition, it is more useful that the battery has a structure in which a plurality of relatively small battery elements are connected and used from the viewpoint of increase / decrease in battery capacity, calculation of occupied volume, and the like.

  Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, the connecting portion of the operating device, the charging device, etc. and the connector on the battery pack side slide while being in contact with each other, so that they are electrically and mechanically connected. Thus, there is an effect that the power supply device can be attached to and detached from the operating device or the charging device using the battery with a single touch. In the electric toy gun of the present invention, since the battery pack with the connector as described above can be used, the one-touch replacement of the power supply device is possible, and the attack power and the counterattack power can be further enhanced. Play.
