Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sports equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic badminton shuttlecock collection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Badminton is a sport that can be played both indoors and outdoors, and it is loved by many people. At present, more and more people are participating in badminton, which is promoting the rapid development of badminton among the general public.

[0003] During badminton games, a large number of shuttlecocks are generated, requiring rapid collection for reuse. Manual collection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus necessitating automated shuttlecock collection robots. Due to the irregular shape and fragility of shuttlecocks, general-purpose robots struggle to accurately perform fully automated collection. Furthermore, traditional shuttlecock robots often fail to accurately detect and classify acceptable and unacceptable shuttlecocks.

[0004] Existing technologies include wind tunnel testing of badminton shuttlecocks, which measures their stability by observing their rotation to determine their suitability for continued use on the court. However, wind tunnel testing equipment is mostly standalone and requires manual insertion, resulting in relatively low efficiency. Furthermore, it is not integrated into automated shuttlecock collection robots, indicating potential for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology by providing a robot capable of automatically collecting badminton shuttlecocks within a venue and classifying and inspecting qualified products.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automatic badminton shuttlecock collection robot, comprising a cleaning and collection component, a conveying component, a dispersing and conveying component, and a wind tunnel screening component;

[0007] The cleaning and collection component is located at the bottom of the first end of the robot and is used to gather and collect badminton shuttlecocks on the ground; the conveying component is used to convey the badminton shuttlecocks in the cleaning and collection component to the upper part of the second end of the robot; the dispersing and conveying component is used to disperse and orderly convey the badminton shuttlecocks to the wind tunnel screening component;

[0008] The wind tunnel screening assembly includes a wind tunnel screening tank, a wind tunnel machine, and a material distribution mechanism. The wind tunnel screening tank is used for the drop of badminton shuttlecocks. The wind tunnel machine is used to blow air into the wind tunnel screening tank so that the good badminton shuttlecocks are suspended in the wind tunnel screening tank. The material distribution mechanism is located at the bottom of the wind tunnel screening tank and is used to collect the defective badminton shuttlecocks that cannot be suspended in the wind tunnel screening tank. At the same time, it is used to cut off the air outlet of the wind tunnel machine so that the good badminton shuttlecocks fall and are collected.

[0009] Furthermore, the wind tunnel screening trough includes a free-fall trough, a wind tunnel trough, a good product discharge trough, and a defective product discharge trough. The free-fall trough, the wind tunnel trough, and the defective product discharge trough are all vertically arranged, while the good product discharge trough is inclined. The free-fall trough is located in the upper layer, the wind tunnel trough is located in the middle layer, and the top of the wind tunnel trough is connected to the bottom of the free-fall trough. The good product discharge trough and the defective product discharge trough are located in the lower layer, and the top of the defective product discharge trough is connected to the bottom of the wind tunnel trough. The wind tunnel machine blows air upward from the defective product discharge trough. The material distribution mechanism includes a telescopic drive unit and a telescopic groove. The telescopic groove is connected to the telescopic drive unit. The first end of the telescopic groove can extend into the bottom of the wind tunnel trough to block the top of the defective product discharge trough, and the top of the good product discharge trough is connected to the bottom of the wind tunnel trough.

[0010] Furthermore, the wind tunnel screening tank also includes an exhaust trough, which is connected to the top of the wind tunnel tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a good product collection box is provided at the bottom of the good product discharge chute, and a defective product collection box is provided at the bottom of the defective product discharge chute.

[0012] Furthermore, the distributed conveying assembly includes a first distributed conveying assembly and a second distributed conveying assembly;

[0013] The first dispersion component includes a first dispersion trough, which is inclined and connected to a vibration mechanism. The vibration mechanism is used to drive the first dispersion trough to vibrate and discharge material. A baffle is provided at the end of the first dispersion trough, and the baffle has a semi-circular opening to form a circular outlet with the first dispersion trough.

[0014] The second dispersion component includes a second dispersion trough, which is horizontally arranged and corresponds one-to-one with the first dispersion trough. The second dispersion trough is connected to the vibration mechanism. A clamping mechanism is provided at the end of the second dispersion trough. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the badminton shuttlecocks conveyed to the end of the second dispersion trough and move them to the top of the wind tunnel screening trough for discharge.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping claw mounting rod, multiple clamping claws disposed on the clamping claw mounting rod, a connecting torsion spring, a connecting shaft, and a drive motor. The second dispersion groove has a sliding slot, and the end of the clamping claw mounting rod is slidably disposed in the sliding slot. The clamping claws are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second dispersion groove. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the drive motor. The connecting torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and the end of the connecting torsion spring is connected to the clamping claw mounting rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a conveying mounting frame, an active roller and a driven roller respectively disposed at both ends of the conveying mounting frame, and a conveyor belt connected between the active roller and the driven roller. The active roller is driven by a conveying motor. The first end of the conveyor belt is located at a low position and the second end is located at a high position. The conveyor belt is provided with multiple rows of baffle racks. Each row of baffle racks is circulated and conveyed with the conveyor belt to convey the shuttlecocks on the conveyor belt upward.

[0017] Furthermore, the sweeping and collecting assembly includes a pair of stacking buckets arranged opposite each other. The ends of the stacking buckets are hinged together by a first hinge seat. The stacking buckets are connected to an opening and closing drive mechanism, which drives the stacking buckets to rotate around the first hinge seat so that the pair of stacking buckets open or close. The first hinge seat is connected to a second hinge seat, and the first hinge seat is also connected to a tilting drive mechanism, which drives the first hinge seat to rotate around the second hinge seat so that the stacking buckets tilt.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a vacuum cleaner, which is arranged at the bottom of the robot.

[0019] The above-described solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The badminton shuttlecock automatic collection robot provided by this invention, through the setting of cleaning and collection components, conveying components, dispersing and conveying components, and wind tunnel screening components, can automatically collect badminton shuttlecocks in the court, arrange them in an orderly manner, and screen good and defective shuttlecocks, and sort them to different locations. This makes it convenient for users to continue training with good shuttlecocks, while defective shuttlecocks are recycled and disposed of. This avoids the time-consuming and laborious process of manually collecting badminton shuttlecocks in the court and improves the user experience.

For example, they can refer to a locking connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic badminton shuttlecock collection robot, including a cleaning and collection component 100, a conveying component 200, a dispersing and conveying component 300, and a wind tunnel screening component 400. The robot has a body structure and wheels for moving within a playing area and collecting scattered badminton shuttlecocks. The cleaning and collection component 100 is located at the bottom of the first end of the robot's body structure and is used to gather and collect badminton shuttlecocks on the ground. The conveying component 200 is used to convey the badminton shuttlecocks collected in the cleaning and collection component 100 to the upper part of the second end of the robot, so that the shuttlecocks are transported to a higher position for subsequent sorting. The dispersing and conveying component 300 is used to disperse the scattered and disordered badminton shuttlecocks and orderly convey them to the wind tunnel screening component 400. The wind tunnel screening component 400 is used to inspect the badminton shuttlecocks to separate good and defective shuttlecocks and sort them to different locations, so that users can continue training with good shuttlecocks, while defective shuttlecocks are recycled. Therefore, the use of automatic badminton shuttlecock collection robots avoids the time-consuming and laborious process of manually collecting badminton shuttlecocks on the field, while also enabling the sorting of shuttlecocks and improving the user experience.

[0034] At the same time, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the wind tunnel screening component 400 includes a wind tunnel screening trough, a wind tunnel machine 401, and a material distribution mechanism. Specifically, the wind tunnel screening trough includes a free-fall trough 402, a wind tunnel trough 403, a good product discharge trough 404, and a defective product discharge trough 405. The free-fall trough 402, wind tunnel trough 403, and defective product discharge trough 405 are all vertically arranged, while the good product discharge trough 404 is inclined. The free-fall trough 402 is located in the upper layer, the wind tunnel trough 403 is located in the middle layer, and the top of the wind tunnel trough 403 is connected to the bottom of the free-fall trough 402. The good product discharge trough 404 and defective product discharge trough 405 are located in the lower layer, and the top of the defective product discharge trough 405 is connected to the bottom of the wind tunnel trough 403.

[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the free-fall trough 402 is designed as a funnel shape with an enlarged aperture to ensure that the shuttlecocks do not deviate when falling from above and fall accurately into the free-fall trough 402. When the shuttlecocks fall into the free-fall trough 402, based on the aerodynamic characteristics of the shuttlecocks themselves, they fall directly when the head is down, and when the tail is down, because the free-fall trough 402 has a certain stroke, the shuttlecocks can automatically adjust their posture to head down before falling further into the wind tunnel trough 403, which facilitates wind tunnel screening of the shuttlecocks.

[0036] In this embodiment, the wind tunnel 401 is installed in the defective product discharge chute 405, or connected to the defective product discharge chute 405 via a duct, so that air is blown upwards from the defective product discharge chute 405, causing the upward airflow to enter the wind tunnel trough 403 and continue upwards. During screening, utilizing the aerodynamic characteristics of badminton shuttlecocks in flight, the good shuttlecocks entering the wind tunnel can suspend in the wind tunnel trough 403, such as... Figure 3 As shown, defective shuttlecocks, unable to levitate, will fall into the defective waste bin 405 and be further collected, thus achieving the screening of good and bad shuttlecocks and making it easier for users to select whether shuttlecocks are usable.

[0037] When the shuttlecocks are able to suspend in the wind tunnel trough 403, the material distribution mechanism further guides them into the good product discharge trough 404, separating them from the defective products. In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism includes a telescopic drive unit and a telescopic groove 406. The shape of the telescopic groove 406 is consistent with that of the good product discharge trough 404, and it can also be considered as part of the good product discharge trough 404. The telescopic groove 406 is connected to the telescopic drive unit, which drives the telescopic groove 406 to extend and retract relative to the good product discharge trough 404, so that the first end of the telescopic groove 406 can extend into the bottom end of the wind tunnel trough 403. On the one hand, the first end of the telescopic groove 406 can block the top of the defective product drop trough 405, so that the upward airflow is no longer formed in the wind tunnel trough 403, and the good badminton shuttlecocks can continue to drop along the wind tunnel trough 403; on the other hand, the telescopic groove 406 can connect the top of the good product drop trough 404 and the bottom of the wind tunnel trough 403, and it is also inclined in the same way as the good product drop trough 404. Therefore, the good badminton shuttlecocks can drop along the wind tunnel trough 403 onto the telescopic groove 406, and further slide down along the telescopic groove 406 into the good product drop trough 404, thus being separated from the defective badminton shuttlecocks.

[0038] It should be noted that a detection sensor is also installed inside the wind tunnel trough 403. Only when the sensor detects that the badminton shuttlecocks are suspended in the wind tunnel trough 403 for more than a preset time, such as 10 seconds, will it send a signal to cause the telescopic drive unit to move the telescopic trough 406, thus cutting off the airflow. Therefore, when setting the control steps, it is only necessary to ensure that the shuttlecock dropping rhythm of the material distribution mechanism and the dispersed conveying assembly 300 is consistent, and the wind tunnel machine 401 can maintain a blower state, simplifying the control steps.

[0039] Since the wind tunnel 401 is in a blower state, in order to ensure that the shuttlecocks can fall smoothly in the free-fall trough 402 and reach force balance only after entering the wind tunnel trough 403, this embodiment also includes an exhaust trough 407. The exhaust trough 407 is also inclined and communicates with the top of the wind tunnel trough 403. Therefore, the rising airflow in the wind tunnel trough 403 can be directly discharged through the exhaust trough 407, reducing the airflow entering the free-fall trough 402 and allowing the shuttlecocks in the free-fall trough 402 to fall smoothly.

[0040] In this embodiment, a good product collection box 408 is provided at the bottom of the good product discharge chute 404, and a defective product collection box 409 is provided at the bottom of the defective product discharge chute 405. The defective product collection box 409 is installed in a drawer-like form at the bottom of the robot's body structure. It does not need to be pulled out during normal use; when the defective product collection box 409 is full, it can be removed to collect the defective shuttlecocks. The good product collection box 408 is an inclined trough; when good shuttlecocks slide into the good product collection box 408, they are placed at an angle for easy access and use by the user.

[0041] At the same time, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the dispersing conveying assembly 300 includes a first dispersing conveying assembly and a second dispersing conveying assembly. The first dispersing assembly includes a first dispersing trough 301, which is inclined to receive shuttlecocks conveyed from the conveying assembly 200. The first dispersing trough 301 is connected to a vibration mechanism, which drives the first dispersing trough 301 to vibrate and discharge shuttlecocks. Simultaneously, a baffle 302 with a semi-circular opening is provided at the end of the first dispersing trough 301. The first dispersing trough 301 itself is also semi-circular, thus forming a circular outlet with the baffle 302. Since the shuttlecocks falling into the first dispersing trough 301 are scattered and disordered, and will accumulate at the lower part of the baffle 302 due to the incline, the shuttlecocks will be discharged one by one from the circular outlet under the action of the vibration mechanism.

[0042] The second dispersion component includes a second dispersion groove 303, which is horizontally positioned, has high self-friction, and also adopts a semi-circular structure, corresponding one-to-one with the first dispersion groove 301. The second dispersion groove 303 is also connected to a vibration mechanism. Under the action of the vibration mechanism, the shuttlecocks on the second dispersion groove 303 are arranged in a string and move sequentially to the end of the second dispersion groove 303 for orderly free fall.

[0043] Meanwhile, a clamping mechanism is also provided at the end of the second dispersion tank 303. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the badminton shuttlecocks conveyed to the end of the second dispersion tank 303 and move them to the top of the free fall tank 402 for discharge, so as to further ensure that the badminton shuttlecocks can be screened in an orderly manner.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a gripper mounting rod 304, multiple grippers 305 mounted on the gripper mounting rod 304, a connecting torsion spring 306, a connecting shaft 307, and a drive motor 308. The grippers 305 are arranged one-to-one with the second dispersion grooves 303, and can be in the form of finger cylinders, fixed to the gripper mounting rod 304 and controlled pneumatically. The second dispersion groove 303 has a sliding slot 309, and the two ends of the gripper mounting rod 304 are slidably disposed within the sliding slot 309, allowing them to slide relative to the second dispersion groove 303. This allows the grippers to move to the end of the second dispersion groove 303 to grip the shuttlecock, and then move to directly above the free-fall groove 402. The connecting shaft 307 is rotatably connected to the drive motor 308. A connecting torsion spring 306 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 307, and the end of the connecting torsion spring 306 is connected to the gripper mounting rod 304. The drive motor 308 drives the connecting shaft 307 to rotate, causing the connecting torsion spring 306 to slide the gripper mounting rod 304, or to reset itself using its own elastic force. Of course, in other embodiments, this part can also be driven by a swing arm mechanism, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first dispersion tank 301, the second dispersion tank 303, the wind tunnel screening tank, and the inclined tank of the good product collection box 408 are all arranged in multiple rows, and they are all one-to-one corresponding. Therefore, it is possible to complete the orderly discharge, screening and collection of multiple badminton shuttlecocks at the same time, making full use of the width of the robot body structure and improving the efficiency of robot processing.

[0046] At the same time, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 200 includes a conveying mounting frame 201, an active roller and a driven roller respectively disposed at both ends of the conveying mounting frame 201, and a conveyor belt 202 connected between the active roller and the driven roller. The active roller is driven by a conveyor motor, which drives the active roller to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor motor to continuously convey the shuttlecock. The first end of the conveyor belt 202 is located at a low position, and the second end is located at a high position, to convey the shuttlecock from the low position to the high position. Simultaneously, the conveyor belt 202 is also provided with multiple rows of baffle racks 203. Each row of baffle racks 203 circulates with the conveyor belt 202, and during the upward inclined conveying process, it can baffle the shuttlecock, causing the shuttlecock to accumulate at the angle formed by the baffle racks 203 and the conveyor belt 202, ensuring that the shuttlecock on the conveyor belt 202 can be conveyed upwards at an inclined angle. When the shuttlecock is conveyed and passes the highest point of the conveyor belt 202, the baffle racks 203 no longer obstruct the shuttlecock, and the shuttlecock can fall smoothly onto the first dispersing trough 301.

[0047] At the same time, such as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning and collection assembly 100 includes a pair of stacking buckets 101 arranged opposite each other. The ends of the stacking buckets 101 are hinged to the robot's body structure via a first hinge seat. The stacking buckets 101 are also connected to an opening and closing drive mechanism, which drives the stacking buckets 101 to rotate around the first hinge seat, so that the stacking buckets 101 open or close. When the stacking buckets 101 are closed, they can scoop up badminton shuttlecocks in the middle position, thereby completing the initial collection of badminton shuttlecocks scattered on the ground.

[0048] Simultaneously, the first hinge seat is connected to the second hinge seat, and the first hinge seat is also connected to the tilting drive mechanism. The tilting drive mechanism is used to drive the first hinge seat to rotate around the second hinge seat, so as to tilt the stacking bucket 101. Since the end of the stacking bucket 101 is flush with the first end of the conveyor belt 202, when the stacking bucket 101 is tilted, the shuttlecocks can be stacked on the first end of the conveyor belt 202. During the conveying process by the baffle rack 203 on the conveyor belt 202, the shuttlecocks are brought onto the conveyor belt 202 and conveyed upward with the tilting of the conveyor belt 202.

[0049] The inner edge of the stacking bucket 101 has a slight bevel and is flush with the ground to facilitate the collection of badminton shuttlecocks without damaging them. To further improve stability, rollers are also provided at the bottom of the stacking bucket 101 in this embodiment. The rollers make the stacking bucket 101 more stable when it opens and closes, and improve the connection reliability of the first hinge seat.

[0050] As a further improvement, this embodiment also includes a vacuum cleaner 500, which is arranged at the bottom of the robot's body structure. The vacuum cleaner 500 can simultaneously remove dust from the site, keeping the site as clean as possible and further improving the user experience.

[0051] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
