This application claims the rights and interests of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/620,381 filed on January 22, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In order to maintain their proficiency with guns, military personnel, law enforcement officials, and hunters often engage in target practice. Target practice is usually carried out in the shooting range, and hundreds of bullets are fired during each practice. In hunting, practice marksmanship so that you can shoot carefully to ensure quick, clean, and humane killing. For military personnel, good marksmanship can make the difference between victory and defeat in the battlefield situation.

Many guns, including pistols and rifles, are designed to use removable magazines to hold ammunition. The use of the magazine allows multiple stacked bullets to be easily loaded into the gun by inserting a single magazine into the gun. After each bullet is fired, a manually or automatically operated mechanism moves the bolt of the gun backward, and then moves forward again. Each time the mechanism is cycled, the top bullet is pulled out of the bullet stack in the magazine, so that the bullets are fed into the firing chamber of the gun one by one. Each magazine typically has an elongated housing defining a cavity in which a slidable spring-loaded follower is disposed. The force of the spring-loaded follower drives each bullet in the magazine to the highest position, in which the bolt can push the bullet into the firing cavity. When all the bullets have been fired, remove the empty magazine from the gun and insert a new magazine in its place. The empty magazine can then be refilled with bullets. Manual loading of such bullets is tedious and time-consuming. Although a device for assisting this manual filling has been provided, the filling function in an improved and automated and economical device will be easily accepted.

Known electronic magazine loaders typically have exposed operating equipment, and for improving the effective accommodation of the operating mechanism in a small housing, and for the improvement of such operating mechanism and the improvement of operating ergonomics. There is room. The following U.S. patents and publications disclose electronic magazine loader: 4,949,495; 9,612,070; 9,719,741; and 2016/0305727. These references are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

The electric magazine loader used to load bullets into the magazine includes a power-supply sorting and lifting wheel, which can rotate around a horizontal rotation axis; an upright gravity feed bullet chute, which is positioned laterally next to the sorting And the lifting wheel; the accumulator part is located at the lower end of the chute; and the loading part, which contains the receiver for the magazine to be loaded; and the push rod mechanism, which is used to insert the bullet into the magazine, all parts are Supported by the shell and substantially contained by the shell. The optimal and ergonomic configuration of the components and shell structure provides the smallest footprint, reduced volume, easy-to-access control parts, easy access to load bullets, easy insertion and removal of magazines, and high stability Sex, and easy to transport. The control circuit system includes a blockage adjustment mechanism.

In an embodiment, the housing accommodates and supports a power-supplied rotatable wheel, the wheel having an open interior and a circumferentially spaced unitary lifting shelf on its periphery. The shell has an access door for placing the disordered bullets in the receiving area including the open interior to be filled. The receiving area can be defined by the wall part of the shell and the hub plate of the runner supporting the lifting shelf. The runner has an open window on the periphery of each shelf facing radially outward. The rotating wheel that can rotate in the cylindrical wall portion is fixed with respect to the housing or the base frame, so that the cylindrical wall portion of each shelf and the respective window diametrically outside defines a lifting cavity, which is horizontal and Elongation parallel or approximately parallel to the axis of rotation of the runner. In an embodiment, after placing a batch of disordered bullets inside the wheel, the pockets continuously (one by one) receive and lift the bullets. Each bullet is aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of rotation in the cavity, but is not oriented with respect to any of the two guiding modes of the front end and the rear end. Each bullet is lifted into the shell or discharged out of the groove by a raised horizontal runner supported by the shell. In an embodiment, the discharge groove is defined by an opening in the cylindrical wall portion. The bullets are conveyed one by one through the runner discharge groove and into the gravity feeding channel defined by the chute. The opening thickness of the chute is usually slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the bullet. The upper part of the chute has an opposite restriction structure, which narrows the thickness of the chute on each side of the two sides of the chute, but does not narrow in the middle part of the upper part. The size of the restriction structure is designed to allow the front end of the bullet to fall downward due to the reduction in the diameter of the front end, but to prevent the back end of the bullet from passing through the restriction structure due to the increase in the diameter of the rear end portion. As the front end falls, the bullet rotates so that the back end is upward from the front end, and the back end becomes more centrally positioned in the upper part of the unrestricted structure, thereby allowing the bullet to fall. The front end, that is, the tip, falls first. Then, the shape of the chute narrows and moves rapidly along the horizontal direction, forcing each bullet to rotate as it travels down the chute to a horizontal orientation, where the bullet then falls down into the accumulator part. Stacked. The accumulator has a singulated outlet groove located below the stack. A series of single bullets are fed one after another through the single outlet groove and into the bullet receiving area of the push rod mechanism.

The push rod mechanism has a reciprocating push rod, which has a plunger part and a magazine receiver positioned opposite to each other with respect to the bullet receiving area. The push rod mechanism includes a motor having a drive shaft and a cam member fixed to the drive shaft. The cam component is received in the cam follower cavity defined by the push rod of the push rod mechanism. The cam member is eccentrically shaped, so that when the cam member rotates in the cam follower cavity, the rotation of the drive shaft causes the push rod to swing in the first direction away from the magazine and in the second direction of the magazine. When the push rod swings, the plunger part of the push rod mechanism pushes the series of single bullets one by one from the lowest bullet receiving area in the horizontal direction transverse to the stack into the magazines locked in the magazine receiver . When the plunger retracts, the magazine holds the bullet, and when the plunger retracts through the stack, the next bullet in the stack will fall to the lowest bullet receiving area.

The feature and advantage of the embodiment is that the outer panel is provided with a sliding groove defining structure on the inwardly facing side of the panel. The sliding groove is defined by the panel and the wall surface facing outward, and the sliding groove may be a part of the housing. The outer panel is easy to disassemble, making it possible to install panels with slide grooves of different sizes for different bullet sizes. The panel may be formed of a transparent plastic material to allow observation of the bullet path. This visibility provides real-time information about bullet blockage or partial overfilling of the accumulator, and provides the observer with interesting forms of device operation. For example, when an incorrectly sized bullet is mixed with a correct sized bullet, such clogging can occur.

The features and advantages of the embodiment are four-sided desktop or workbench, the magazine ammunition loader has a front side facing the user, including a user interface, a magazine receiver, and a transparent panel, all of which are on the front side, which allows Visually monitor the bullet path during the sorting/alignment process. For example, if the bullet receiving area is empty, it will be obvious that the dropped bullet cannot be seen from the transparent path (ie, a clear bullet path). The feature and advantage is that most of the bullet passage is placed on the front panel, where the passage can be seen from the user's operating position. Another feature and advantage is the accessibility of the removable front panel, while being able to access most of the bullet path, including all or most of the gravity feed path.

The features and advantages of the embodiments are the ergonomically advantageous structure. The upwardly tapering shell provides stability for the loader during operation and transportation through the retractable grip positioned at the uppermost part of the magazine loader. In the embodiment, the floor area of the base and the surface area facing downward are several times the area of the horizontal top plate. And the horizontal cross-sectional area inside the shell decreases upward to the top of the shell. The sorting and lifting wheel is nested in the upper inner part of the conical shell, and has a user interface positioned adjacent to the uppermost panel and forming an acute angle with the horizontal plane. The shell and the panel conform to the shape of the wheel, minimizing unused The internal volume minimizes the number of shells, thereby minimizing the size and weight of the magazine loader. When the loader is on a table or workbench, the user interface of the upward guiding panel provides direct viewing to the user, so that the panel is substantially arranged at 90° relative to the typical viewing direction of the operator standing or sitting.

The feature and advantage of the embodiment is a configuration that monitors the current drawn by one or more motors of the loader (e.g., a drive motor for sorting and lifting wheels, or a motor for pushing mechanisms). If the current drawn by one of the motors is greater than a pre-selected threshold (for example, it will be caused by blockage), the current to the motor is cut off or the motor is reversed for a few seconds, for example, three seconds. If the rotating wheel then cannot rotate normally, the rotating wheel can be reversed again. After a predetermined number of reverse rotations, the system will make an error and the motor can be disconnected. The configuration can prevent damage to the loader, for example, in the event of a bombing failure state.

The feature and advantage of the embodiment is the circuit system including the sensor for monitoring the rotation of the wheel, for example, by a rotary encoder. When it is detected that the rotation of the runner is interrupted, it indicates that the bullet is blocked, and the motor driving the runner can be temporarily reversed to reduce the blocking state, for example, reverse rotation for three seconds. If the wheel cannot rotate normally, it can be reversed again. After a predetermined number of reverse rotations, the system will make an error and the motor can stop all rotations. Such jamming mediators can prevent damage to the loader in the event of a bombing failure state, for example. One feature and advantage is a system that automatically attempts to eliminate the jamming mediation system.

One feature and advantage is that the configuration of the components provides a compact and lightweight electric desktop magazine loader, which is suitable for transportation and use within the stated range, for example. The device has a rectangular footprint, the front side of the device has a user interface control and a display, a receiver with an insertion groove for the magazine to be loaded, and a removable sliding groove part, All parts are positioned on the front side.

The housing defines 105.7 inside the housing.

The upper housing enclosure may include a three-sided housing enclosure portion 139.2 fixed to the base 138 and a housing side wall portion 139.3 as best shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. The removal of the side wall portion 139.3 allows access to the inside of the housing 105.7 and internal components. The three-sided integral housing enclosure part 139.2 includes a middle wall part 139.4 as best shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, which has a cylindrical wall part 148 and a wall part 148.2 that crosses the cylindrical wall part 148. The circular recess 139.5. As illustrated in FIG. 3B, the runner 106 is received in the circular recess 139.5. The housing part can be formed by injection molding.

As best illustrated in Figures 2A-2C and 3A-3B, the housing has a tapered portion in the upward direction. That is, the cross-sectional area taken in the horizontal plane generally decreases in the upward direction.

With reference to Figures 2C-7, the runner has singulated pockets 114 spaced in the circumferential direction for continuously receiving and lifting in a continuous flow manner from the disordered batches loosely placed inside the open interior 112 of the runner 106 The second bullet is 102.3 bullets.

The runner 106 includes a hub portion constructed as a hub plate 142, an outer ring 144 on the periphery of the runner 145, and a plurality of lifting shelves 146 extending between the hub plate 142 and the outer ring 144. The shelf 146 of the runner 106 and the cylindrical wall surface 148 of the housing 105 define a plurality of bullet receiving pockets 114.

In an embodiment, the runner 106 is configured to singulate the batch of bullets (the tip direction of the bullets is not oriented), while continuously lifting them to the runner defined by the opening or window in the cylindrical wall 148出槽116。 Discharge groove 116. In the embodiment, the groove 116 opens into the channel 118 of the sliding groove portion 108.

Referring to FIGS. 3A-6, the runner driver 150 including the drive train 150.2. is configured to rotate the runner 106, and as the runner 106 rotates, bullets circulate in the interior 112 of the runner thereby. In the embodiment, the base frame and the housing 105 rotatably support the runner 106 and the drive motor 162 for the runner 106 or the integral motor mount 162.2. The wall part traverses the opening defined by the cylindrical wall surface and provides a drive train mounting member for rotating the runner. The wall plate portion 148.2 may have integral bearing retaining structures 148.3, 148.4 for the integral motor mounting structure 162.2 adjacent to the drive motor, retaining a pair of bearing sets 148.5, 148.6 axially displaced to each other to support the sorting and lifting rotation Axle rod.

2A-2D and 7, the sorting and lifting wheel 106 operates as follows. A batch of disordered bullets 102.3 is placed in the bullet receiving area 113. As the runner rotates, individual bullets are received in the bullet receiving pocket 114 of the runner. The cylindrical wall surface 148 defines a runner discharge groove 116, and the runner discharge groove 116 is positioned to communicate with the channel 118 defined by the chute body 120. In an embodiment, the groove can be placed from 9:30 to 10:30 with reference to the clock face. In the embodiment, from 9:00 to 11:00. Each shelf 146 is oriented such that when the shelf is positioned in the runner discharge groove 116, the inclined surface 146.2 is defined to slope downward toward the runner discharge groove. When the runner rotates past a batch of disordered bullets in the interior 112 of the runner, this angle orients the auxiliary shelf to catch the bullets. In the embodiment, the size of each shelf is designed to catch and retain only a single bullet in a separate cavity, see FIG. 5. As the runner 106 rotates, the bullet is lifted to the runner discharge groove 116. When each bullet receiving cavity 114 becomes aligned with the runner discharge groove 116, the bullet rolls or falls from the bullet receiving cavity 114, passes through the runner discharge groove 116, and enters the chute 108, see FIG. 7. Each bullet received in one of the bullet receiving pockets 114 may have any one of a first direction and an opposite second direction, that is, the bullet tip will point in the opposite direction. When the bullets pass through the groove 116, they enter the chute 108 at the opening 108.2. 2A-2D, and 7-10, construct an exemplary chute 108 formed by the chute body 120, so that horizontally aligned and randomly oriented bullets are arranged in a common position when they fall (that is, by gravity) It is oriented and passes through the channel 118 defined by the chute body 120. The chute 108 substantially has an open channel thickness T1, which is slightly larger than the maximum diameter D1 of the bullet as defined by the shell at the rear end of the bullet. With particular reference to Fig. 8, the channel thickness T1 substantially extends substantially the vertical length L1 of the chute channel, so that the channel has a rectangular cross section. The chute has four upwardly extending chute wall surfaces 108.4, 108.5, 108.6, 108.7, which define the passage and are constructed as a removable unit. The unit and housing with an s-shape may have a groove 108.5 or a recess for receiving the sliding groove, see FIG. 7. The upper part 137 of the chute has opposite restriction structures 131.1, 131.2, 131.3, 131.4 that are displaced from the chute entrance groove 108.2, which effectively narrows the thickness of the channel to each of the sides 139.1 and 139.2 of the chute The smaller thickness T2 of the chute does not narrow the thickness of the channel in the central part 141 of the upper part 137. The size of the restriction structure is designed to allow the front end 102.2 of the bullet 102 to fall downward due to the reduced diameter D2 of the front end of the bullet, but the increased diameter D1 of the back end 102.4 of the bullet prevents the rear end 102.4 of the bullet from passing through the restriction structure. 9 and 10, as the front end drops, the bullet rotates so that the rear end is upward from the front end, and the rear end becomes more centrally positioned in the upper part 137. There is no restriction structure to allow the bullet to fall. The front end, tip, First enter the middle part of the chute 137.1. The shape of the chute is narrowed so that the bullet cannot rotate around a horizontal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the chute. The angled part 137.3 of the chute is swept in the direction pointed by the tip 102.6 of the bullet, and the bullet is oriented roughly horizontally, so that the bullet moves laterally to the accumulator part of the chute, where they can be stopped by the wall 137.5 , And they fall while maintaining a roughly horizontal orientation. This provides a vertical stack of bullets so that all bullets point at the accumulator section 124 with their tips in the same horizontal direction, ready to be inserted into the magazine. The chute has a singular outlet groove 126. The lowest bullet position 124.6 is set at the bottom of the accumulator section. This position can be defined by the chute structure or below the chute body. The chute can be formed by injection molded polymer. Referring to Figures 11-12C, embodiments with different front wall slide groove configurations are illustrated. The housing 105 has a sliding groove panel recess 121, so that the runner discharge groove 116 is positioned at the top of the recess. The recess is defined by the inwardly inserted wall portion 121.5 of the upper enclosure 139. The sliding channel panel 206.1 is removably placed in the recess, whereby the sliding channel wall structure 206 on the panel and the inwardly inserted wall portion 121.5 are combined to define the sliding channel 123.

In this embodiment, the opposite restriction structures 138.5, 138.6, 138.7, and 138.8 are constructed as ribs protruding from the wall portion 121.5 and the sliding groove panel 206. The ribs initially project inwardly and horizontally at the lateral ends 206.4 and 206.5 of the channel 118.4, and then extend downwardly and contractively inwardly, and have an inwardly smooth curvature. In the embodiment, the ribs are substantially U-shaped. In an embodiment, each upward leg of the U-shape has a horizontal leg extending outward, and the bottom of the U-shape is open.

The chute panel may be transparent and/or have grooves for viewing the channel and any bullets in it. The chute panel may be formed of injection molded polymers such as polycarbonate or polystyrene.

3A-6 and 11, 13-14, in the embodiment, a series of single bullets are fed into the push rod mechanism 110 through the singulated outlet groove 126 one by one. In the embodiment, the push rod mechanism 110 includes a push rod motor 128 having a drive shaft 130 and a cam member 132 fixed to the drive shaft 130. The cam member 132 is received in the cam follower, so that the cavity 134 is defined by the push rod 136 of the push rod mechanism 110. When the cam member 132 rotates in the cam follower cavity 134, the cam member 132 is shaped so that the push rod 136 swings in a first direction away from the magazine 104 and in a second direction toward the magazine 104. When the push rod 136 swings, a series of single bullets are fed through the singulation outlet groove 126 one after another. The plunger part 136.2 of the push rod mechanism 110 pushes the series of single bullets one by one into the intercepted bullet-receiving magazine 104 in a direction transverse to the stacking direction, thereby shrinking the magazine spring-loaded follower 104.6 Back. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, there may be a peak load absorption spring as a part of the drive system of the push rod mechanism. For example, an alternative cam member 132.1 may include a spring member 132.3 extending between the inner hub portion 132.6 and the outer member 132.4, which balances the filling pressure when the push rod loads the bullet into the magazine. This greatly reduces the load on the motor, allowing the use of smaller, lighter, and less powerful motors.

The first spring 152 and the second spring 154 of the push rod mechanism 110 can seat against the push rod 136. The first spring applies the first elastic force to the push rod 136, and the second spring 154 applies the second elastic force to the push rod 136, both of which are substantially facing the magazine 104.

13-16, the push rod mechanism 110 of the magazine loader portion 109 may further include a magazine receiver 182, which defines a cavity 184 extending along the sub-magazine receiving and exit axis; and a magazine retaining mechanism, which includes The lever 196 is pivotally supported by the wall surface of the main body held by the magazine. In an embodiment, the lever 196 can pivot about the pivot 198. In the embodiment, the lever 196 has an actuating portion provided on the first side of the pivot 198 and a blocking member 200 provided on the second side of the pivot 198. In an embodiment, the size of the blocking member 200 of the lever 196 is designed and adapted to be received in the complementary interlocking feature of the magazine 104, namely the recess 10.1, as shown in FIG. 1. In the embodiment, the lever 196 is positioned so that the blocking member 200 extends through the aperture 202 defined by the magazine holding body 182. In the embodiment, the lever pivots around the pin 204 supported by the wall surface of the magazine holding body 182. In an embodiment, the lever 196 can be selectively pivoted between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the blocking member 200 of the lever 196 is received in the complementary interlocking features of the magazine 104, and In the unlocked position, the blocking member 200 of the lever 196 sits outside the complementary interlocking features of the magazine 104.

The release shutter 136.4 can locally define the lowest bullet position 124.6, and can be released, for example, by lever 136.9 when the magazine is full and there are bullets stacked in the accumulator section. The brake can pivot about the pivot point 136.5, or it can slide out of position when the lever is pulled to open the brake. The tray 136.8 below the gate 136.4 can guide the bullet forward to be collected by the operator.

3A, 15-24, the magazine loader 100 may further include a circuit system 107, which is operatively coupled to the push rod mechanism 110 of the push rod motor 128 and the wheel drive motor 162 of the wheel drive 150, wherein the circuit The system 107 includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instruction sets. In an embodiment, the one or more instruction sets include instructions configured to be executed by one or more processors to cause the magazine loader to rotate the wheel, so that the wheel singulates the batch of bullets ( But not directed), while lifting the bullets one by one to the runner discharge groove, and transfer the bullets one by one through the runner discharge groove and enter the channel defined by the chute body. In an embodiment, the one or more instruction sets include instructions configured to be executed by one or more processors to cause the magazine loader to swing the push rod mechanism to one by one in a direction transverse to the stack Push a series of single bullets into the captured magazine.
