ontrol shooting of a BB gun includes a barrel, a
trigger, a switch, a control unit, a solenoid valve and a sensor. The
barrel is hollow and interconnected with a loading hole. The sensor is
located in the loading hole. The trigger corresponds to the switch. The
switch is electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit is
electrically connected to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is to
control pressurized gas entering said barrel. When the trigger triggers
the switch and the sensor detects a BB ball dropping through the loading
hole into the barrel, the sensor will transmit a signal to the control
unit and the control unit will activate the solenoid valve to control
pressurized gas entering said barrel.Claims:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001]1. Field of the Invention
[0002]The present invention relates to an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, and more particularly to a sensor provided in a loading hole of a barrel to sense a BB ball dropping through the loading hole and send a signal to a control unit to release pressurized gas to shoot the BB ball.
[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004]A conventional BB gun uses an elastic element to shoot BB balls. Some BB guns use pressurized gas to shoot balls, but none of them is designed to use an electronic control system.
[0005]Furthermore, the conventional BB gun uses a trigger to shoot the balls, and there is no detecting device to check whether the barrel is loaded with balls or not, thus it wastes resource.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006]According to the present invention, there is provided an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun comprising a barrel, a trigger, a switch, a control unit, a solenoid valve and a sensor, said barrel being hollow and interconnected with a loading hole, said sensor being located in said loading hole, said trigger corresponding to said switch, said switch being electrically connected to said control unit, said control unit being electrically connected to said solenoid valve, said solenoid valve controlling pressurized gas entering said barrel, when said trigger triggers said switch and said sensor detects a BB ball dropping through said loading hole into said barrel, said sensor transmitting a signal to said control unit and said control unit activating said solenoid valve to control pressurized gas entering said barrel.
[0007]It is the primary object of the present invention to provide an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, which has a higher efficiency in shooting bb balls.
[0008]It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, which saves resource.
[0009]It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, which is easy to operate.
[0010]It is a still a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, which shortens waiting time so that the gun can shoot continuously in a short period of time.
[0011]It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun, which provides more fun to users.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012]FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention;
[0013]FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention showing that BB balls are loaded into a barrel;
[0014]FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention showing that the BB balls in the barrel are shot; and
[0015]FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016]An electronic device to control shooting of a BB gun of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a barrel 1, a trigger 2, a switch 3, a control unit 4, a solenoid valve 5, and a sensor 6.
[0017]The barrel 1 is hollow and interconnected to a loading hole 11. The sensor 6 is located in the loading hole 11. The sensor 6 is electrically connected to the control unit 4. The trigger 2 corresponds to the switch 3. The switch 3 is also connected to the control unit 4 electrically. The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 5. The solenoid valve 5 is to control pressurized gas entering the barrel 1.
[0018]To operate the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, when the trigger 2 is pulled and the switch 3 is activated, the sensor 6 will detect whether there is a BB ball 7 in the loading hole 11. When sensing the BB ball 7 passing through the loading hole 11, the sensor 6 will transmit a signal to the control unit 4 which then activates the solenoid valve 5 to control the pressurized gas entering the barrel 1 and then strike the BB ball 7.
[0019]When the user holds the trigger 2 without releasing, the control unit 4 will activate the solenoid valve 5 through the sensor 6 continuously. Whenever the sensor 6 detects the BB balls 7 passing through the loading hole 11, the solenoid valve 5 is turned open to drain pressurized gas into the barrel 1 to shoot the BB balls 7, which means the BB gun is shooting continuously as long as the BB balls 7 keep on dropping into the barrel 1 through the loading hole 11.
