Firstly, the heating device is an electric heating device 70
The electrical heating means comprises a heating rod 71 located within the main air chamber.
The liquid carbon dioxide in the main gas chamber is heated in an electric heating mode to reach a supercritical state, so that the pressure in the storage chamber is rapidly increased, the pressure gauge is observed, and when the pressure reaches the required pressure, the electronic vacuum valve 62 can be opened, so that the high-pressure carbon dioxide gas in the main gas chamber rapidly pushes out the launching bullet holder and the bullet body through the launching pipeline.
The mode can more conveniently control the pressure and the temperature in the main air chamber, is safer, and can more accurately control the outlet speed of the flyer to be launched. This mode is suitable for use in a good environment with a power supply. The mode completely adopts the physical change of the liquid carbon dioxide to provide pressure, and the device is environment-friendly, and basically has no damage to the device because the adopted carbon dioxide gas has very stable chemical property, so that the device can be continuously recycled, and the service life is greatly prolonged.
Secondly, the heating device is a chemical heat release device
The chemical heat release device comprises a magnesium powder tank, an ignition device and the magnesium powder tank connecting hole 15; the magnesium powder tank connecting hole is arranged on the main air chamber and forms an included angle of 45 degrees with the central axis of the main air chamber, so that liquid carbon dioxide in the main air chamber can be prevented from contacting magnesium powder in the magnesium powder tank in advance. In the invention, when the launching angle of the gun barrel is changed within 0-90 degrees, the magnesium powder tank is inclined by 45 degrees, so that the gun barrel can be kept to form an inclined angle of not less than 45 degrees with the horizontal plane no matter what launching angle is selected by the gun barrel, and the magnesium powder in the magnesium powder tank can completely enter the main air chamber to react with liquid carbon dioxide to release heat when needed.
Further, the heating rod connecting hole is preferably located at the lower half portion of the rear end of the main air chamber, so that it is ensured that the liquid carbon dioxide is in direct contact with the heating rod, thereby maximizing the heat transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, the sleeve structure concentric with the gun barrel is adopted, so that the length of the gun body can be reduced, the space is saved, and the transportation and the transfer are more convenient.
The magnesium powder can fill magnesium powder into the main gas chamber through the connecting hole of the magnesium powder can, and the ignition device is arranged in the main gas chamber and is used for igniting the magnesium powder and liquid CO2。
After the liquid carbon dioxide is completely added, the main air chamber is closed, and electric sparks are generated through the ignition device, so that the magnesium powder and the liquid carbon dioxide are subjected to chemical reaction to generate a large amount of heat. Thereby heating the remaining liquid carbon dioxide to vaporize it, increasing the pressure in the main gas chamber. When the required pressure threshold is reached, the electronic vacuum valve 62 is automatically opened, so that high-pressure carbon dioxide gas in the main gas chamber enters the gun barrel, and the bullet support and the bullet body to be launched are pushed to rapidly fly out. The mode does not need a good external environment, can be used under the condition of no power supply, and is simpler and more convenient.

When the gun body needs to be launched, the plane area is lowered or the universal wheels are turned upwards, the gravity of the device acts on the plane area, and therefore friction between the device and the ground can be increased, the fixing effect is achieved, and meanwhile recoil of expansion work of the gun body can be relieved.
The main air chamber jacket is preferably hinged to the top surface of the rear end of the support frame through a hinge rotating device and used for fixing the main air chamber.

The requirement of the launching angle between 0 degree and 90 degrees of the gun body can be met by the length extension of the hydraulic supporting rod.
The above-mentioned fixed clamp 95 of gun barrel level is preferred can dismantle the card cover at the gun barrel front end, and when gun barrel horizontal installation, because the hydraulic support pole is not the bearing, so adopt the fixed clamp 95 of gun barrel level to carry out the fixed of gun barrel position. When the firing angle of the gun body is greater than 0 degrees, that is, the hydraulic support rod is extended, the horizontal fixing hoop 95 of the gun barrel is disconnected from the gun barrel, and the gun barrel is supported and fixed by the hydraulic support rod.
