The structures shown inFIG. 1 throughFIG. 6 are taken as examples for illustration, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. - This embodiment provides an air-channel structure of a paintball gun. As shown in
FIG. 1 , the paintball gun includes a gun body 1 and agun handle 2, thegun handle 2 and thefront handle 3 are integratedly made by injection molding by plasticity material, and thegun handle 2 and thefront handle 3 are disposed at a bottom portion of the gun body 1. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the gun body 1 is provided with abarrel 4 and a gunlock set 5, and the gun body 1 has afirst air channel 11 inside, thefirst air channel 11 is provided to input the high pressure gas for the gunlock set 5 triggering the paint ball. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thegun handle 2 is provided with a triggeringset 6 which controls the gunlock set 5 to trigger the paint ball. Thegun handle 2 has anintake valve 7 at the bottom portion thereof, and theintake valve 7 is connected with thegas tank 71 containing the high pressure gas. The triggeringset 6 has atrigger 61 exposed between thegun handle 2 and thefront handle 3, and a trigger guard is disposed around a front side and a bottom side of thetrigger 61. - As shown in
FIG. 1 throughFIG. 3 , the air-channel structure of the paintball gun of this embodiment is provided with a pipe 8 which can be made of metal or plastic material. In this embodiment the pipe 8 is a metal pipe and has afront section 81, acenter section 82 and aback section 83. During injection molding of thefront handle 3, thefront section 81 is disposed at a molding position of thefront handle 3, and theback section 83 is disposed at a molding position of thegun handle 2 during injection molding of thegun handle 2, so thefront section 81 and theback section 83 are respectively located inside thefront handle 3 and thegun handle 2 after the injection molding of thefront handle 3 andgun handle 2, and thecenter section 82 is extended between thegun handle 2 andfront handle 3 at the bottom side of thetrigger 61. As shown inFIG. 3 , the pipe 8 has asecond air channel 84. Inside thegun handle 2, an end of thesecond air channel 84 of the pipe 8 is communicated with theintake valve 7 and thegas tank 71 which is connected with the intake valve. Inside thefront handle 3, other end of thesecond air channel 84 of the pipe 8 is communicated with thefirst air channel 11, and thefront handle 3 and thecenter section 82 of the pipe 8 are located at the front side and the bottom side of thetrigger 61 to form the trigger guard. - In this embodiment, the pipe 8 is hollow and bent. Inside the
gun handle 2, the pipe 8 has anintake end 85 extended to the bottom portion of thegun handle 2 and connected theintake valve 7. Inside thefront handle 3, the pipe 8 has anoutlet end 86 extended to a top of thefront handle 3 and connected to the 1 bottom portion of the gun body, thesecond channel 84 of the pipe 8 is directly communicated between theintake valve 7 and thefirst air channel 11. - In this embodiment, a
metal piece 87 is fixed at theintake end 85 of the pipe 8 and combined at the bottom portion of thegun handle 2, and theintake valve 7 is fixedly connected with themetal piece 87 at the bottom portion of thegun handle 2. Regarding the disposal of themetal piece 87, thegun handle 2 is made of plasticity material, so theintake valve 7 is combined at the bottom portion of thegun handle 2 by a manner of screwing in this embodiment. If theintake valve 7 is directly screwed on thegun handle 2, the problem of bad structural strength exists, so themetal piece 87 is extra added to provide the intake valve to be firmly screwed. - As shown in
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , aswitch 72 is disposed at theintake valve 7 in the gun handle 2 of this embodiment, and theswitch 72 is turned on/off to control the high pressure gas inside thegas tank 71 to pass theintake valve 7, i.e. when theswitch 72 is screwed in to drive displacement of avalve rod 721, athimble 711 of thegas tank 71 is pushed by thevalve rod 721, so the high pressure gas inside thegas tank 71 can be discharged to enter the pipe 8 via theintake end 85. When theswitch 72 is screwed out, thevalve rod 721 is moved out correspondingly and thethimble 711 of thegas tank 71 will be ejected, so the high pressure gas inside thegas tank 71 cannot pass theintake valve 7 and enter the pipe 8. - According to the aforesaid illustration, the advantages of the present disclosure are obvious.
- First, in the paintball gun of the present disclosure, the air-channel structure is combined with the paintball gun for use as the trigger guard, so the trigger guard of the present disclosure has a simpler structure compared with the traditional paintball gun. Two ends of the pipe 8 communicated between the
gun handle 2 and thefront handle 3 are hidden in thefront section 81 and theback section 83 disposed inside thegun handle 2 and thefront handle 3, only thecenter section 82 at bottom side of the trigger guard is exposed. Therefore, the problem that thepipe 99 of the traditional paintball gun is exposed at the connecting portion between thegun handle 92 and thefront handle 97 and easily loosed or damaged by collision to cause gas leak does not exist in the paintball gun of the present disclosure. - Secondly, the pipe 8 is used as a pipeline for delivering gas and is designed as the trigger guard for protecting the
trigger 61, so the paintball gun of the present disclosure is not provided with apipe 99 which is used in traditional low-end paintball gun, and the market value and competition of the paintball gun of the present disclosure can be improved. - Naturally, there are many examples embraced by the scope of the present disclosure, and these examples just have different variations in detail.

FIG. 4 throughFIG. 6 which show a second embodiment of the present disclosure. The main differences between the first embodiment and the second embodiment are described in following paragraph. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , inside thegun handle 2A, the air-channel structure of the paintball gun of the second embodiment has athird air channel 21A which is communicated with theintake valve 7 by a bottom end thereof, and thefront handle 3A has afourth air channel 31A inside, and a top end of thefourth air channel 31A is communicated with thefirst air channel 11. Thepipe 8A is hollow and has afront section 81A, acenter section 82A and aback section 83A. At the bottom side of thetrigger 61, theback section 83A is connected with thegun handle 2A, thefront section 81A is connected with thefront handle 3A. Thepipe 8A has asecond air channel 84A inside, and two ends of thesecond air channel 84A are sealingly communicated with thethird air channel 21A and thefourth air channel 31A, respectively. Thefront handle 3A and thecenter section 82A of thepipe 8A are located at the front side and the bottom side of thetrigger 61 to form as the trigger guard. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thegun handle 2A has a first mountinghole 22A close to the bottom end of thetrigger 61, the first mountinghole 22A is disposed along a widthwise direction of thegun handle 2A, and thethird air channel 21A is communicated between the first mountinghole 22A and theintake valve 7. Thefront handle 3A has asecond mounting hole 32A at the bottom portion thereof, thesecond mounting hole 32A is disposed along a widthwise direction of thefront handle 3A. Thefourth air channel 31A is communicated between thesecond mounting hole 32A and thefirst air channel 11. Theback section 83A of thepipe 8A is linked with the first mountinghole 22A at thegun handle 2A, and thefront section 81A is linked with thesecond mounting hole 32A at thefront handle 3A. The two ends of thesecond air channel 84A are disposed inside the first mountinghole 22A and thesecond mounting hole 32A respectively and sealingly communicated with thethird air channel 21A and thefourth air channel 31A respectively. In this embodiment, thepipe 8A is a straight pipe, and the first mountinghole 22A is aligned with thesecond mounting hole 32A, so the two ends of thepipe 8A can be disposed inside the first mountinghole 22A and thesecond mounting hole 32A. - As shown in
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , thesecond air channel 84A is passed through the two ends of thepipe 8A along a lengthwise direction of thepipe 8A, and at the two ends of thepipe 8A, two ends of thesecond air channel 84A are airtightly plugged byplugs 85A, respectively. Thepipe 8A have throughholes third air channel 21A and thefourth air channel 31A, and each of throughholes pipe 8A and communicated with thesecond air channel 84A. Thepipe 8A is provided withseal rings holes third air channel 21A,fourth air channel 31A andsecond air channel 84A can be achieved. - The air-channel structure of the paintball gun of the second embodiment can provide the effect equal to the effect of the first embodiment.
