Abstract

The electronic target includes a main member having a target base and a front plate, a power element inside the target base, a main control device inside the target base and electrically connected to the power element, a MEMS sensor device behind the front plate and electrically connected to the main control device, and a wireless control device mounted on and electrically connected to the main control device. By leveraging the MEMS sensor device and the power element, the assembly and deployment of the electronic target becomes straightforward and less susceptible to damage. Moreover, the use of wireless communications relieves limitation by the venue and reduces susceptibility to interference. This simplifies the configuration and setup process for interactions between targets, achieving increased variability in shooting modes and enhancing entertainment or training effectiveness.

Claims (15)

1 . An electronic target, comprising:

a main member having a target base and a front plate joined to a front opening of the target base;

a power element inside the target base;

a main control device inside the target base and electrically connected to the power element;

a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensor device behind the front plate and electrically connected to the main control device; and

a wireless control device mounted on and electrically connected to the main control device, where the wireless control device comprises a radio transmitter for transmitting wireless signals and a radio receiver for receiving wireless signals from another electronic target, and the wireless signals operate within a frequency range of 868 MHz to 1 GHz.

2 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , further comprising a charging control module on one side of the main control device electrically connected to the power element.

3 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , wherein the main control device comprises a mode control module situated on the target base.

4 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , wherein the main control device comprises an audible element inside the target base.

5 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , wherein the main control device comprises at least one lighting element situated on the target base.

6 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , further comprising a detachable cover coupled to the front opening of the target base, where the front plate is attached to the detachable cover.

7 . The electronic target according to claim 6 , wherein the front plate is attached to the detachable cover by a suspended fixation assembly; and the suspended fixation assembly comprises a plurality of first elastic elements set on the detachable cover and a plurality of fixation elements connected at both ends to each respective first elastic element and the front plate.

8 . The electronic target according to claim 6 , wherein the detachable cover is coupled to the target base by a fastening assembly.

9 . The electronic target according to claim 8 , wherein the fastening assembly comprises a latch element and a second elastic element positioned between the target base and the latch element; and the latch element has a limiting orientation to the target base and the detachable cover different from that achieved by the fastening assembly.

10 . The electronic target according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless control device comprises an application interface module.
