摘要:
A pneumatic paintball gun preferably includes a body and a grip. The body preferably holds a pneumatic housing that contains the primary operating components of the paintball gun. The pneumatic housing preferably includes a pneumatic piston and cylinder assembly. The pneumatic piston is preferably coupled to a bolt for controlling movement of the bolt based on the supply and venting of compressed gas from the cylinder. Most preferably, a normally-open three way solenoid valve supplies compressed gas to a forward surface area of the piston to hold the bolt in an open position. In the open position, a paintball is permitted to load into a breech area of the paintball gun. In response to a trigger pull, the three-way solenoid valve is preferably configured to vent compressed gas away from the forward piston surface area. Pressure supplied to a rearward piston surface area preferably causes the bolt to close, moving the paintball into a barrel. The bolt is also preferably configured to operate as part of the firing valve, such that closing the bolt causes compressed gas to be released into contact with the paintball arranged in the barrel to launch it from the paintball gun. A paintball detection system can also be provided having a circuit board configured to fit in a recess formed in a breech section of the pneumatic housing.
摘要:
The pneumatically operated projectile launching device is preferably comprised of three principal elements: a body (40) which houses and interconnects all of the pneumatic components and also houses the electrical power source (33), a grip mounted to the body which includes an electrical switch (30) that activates a launching sequence, and an electrical control unit housed within both the body and the grip which directs flow between the pneumatic components to load, cock and fire the gun. The body preferably contains a plurality of chambers (1) in communication with each other including a chamber (2) containing and distributing pressurized gas, a chamber (11) containing a compressed gas storage chamber and mechanisms (12, 13) for filling the storage chamber with gas and releasing gas from the storage chamber to fire the projectile, and a chamber (3) containing mechanisms for loading and launching the projectile (41). The electrical control unit preferably includes an electrical power source (33) which activates an electrical timing circuit (34) when the electrical switch (30) is closed, and two electrically operated pneumatic flow distribution devices (35, 36, 37) which are sequentially energized by the electrical timing circuit to enable the loading of a projectile (41) for launching and to release compressed gas from the storage chamber (11) to fire the projectile, respectively.

摘要:
A pneumatic assembly preferably includes a sealing member disposed between a compressed-gas storage area and a compressed gas releasing area. A piston rod is preferably arranged in communication with the sealing member and disposed longitudinally in the pneumatic assembly extending between the compressed gas storage and compressed gas releasing areas. One or more vent channels are preferably formed in the piston rod, with one or more ribs arranged longitudinally through or between the vent channels. The ribs are preferably configured to maintain the sealing member within a sealing member retaining groove while compressed gas is being released from the compressed gas storage area to the compressed gas releasing area. A grip mounted circuit board arrangement can also be provided wherein a circuit boards is configured to securely mount within one or more slots arranged in a grip frame of a paintball gun. The circuit board may include a solenoid valve and a trigger-actuated switch arranged on the circuit board. The paintball gun can further include an interchangeable external shell for housing the pneumatic assembly.
摘要:
A pneumatic assembly for a paintball gun preferably includes a bolt slidable between an open and a closed position. The bolt preferably provides a firing mechanism for the paintball gun by permitting compressed gas to flow through the bolt to fire the paintball gun when the bolt is closed but preventing the transfer of compressed gas through the bolt when the bolt is open. This can be accomplished, for instance, by arranging a sealing member in communication with a surface of the bolt. A port is also preferably arranged through a lateral sidewall of the bolt at a predetermined location. The bolt preferably slides in relation to the sealing member such that when the bolt is open, the sealing member prevents compressed gas from flowing into the bolt, but when the bolt is closed, compressed gas is permitted to flow into the bolt. The bolt is preferably controlled by using a control valve such as an electronic solenoid valve to operate a pneumatic piston. A fixed-volume compressed gas storage chamber can be provided to supply a controlled volume of compressed gas to a projectile during a firing operation of the paintball gun and thereby improve gas efficiency.
