Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical design technology, specifically to a circumferential energy storage and firing structure and method utilizing a ratchet clutch. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement and innovation of science and technology, the design of firing mechanisms is also constantly evolving and improving to meet ever-increasing demands and challenges. Common firing mechanisms currently include friction wheel firing mechanisms, spring firing mechanisms, direct-drive electric motor firing mechanisms, and electromagnetic excitation mechanisms. These mechanisms represent common technologies using different firing principles in various application fields.

[0003] Currently, most common firing mechanisms employ direct motor drive. For example, friction wheel firing mechanisms directly contact and compress the object being fired via a rubber-coated wheel, while direct motor-driven firing mechanisms first convert the motor's rotational motion into linear motion through a transmission mechanism, then apply a certain initial velocity to the object before firing. The motor's power largely determines the limit of the force exerted on the target by the entire device, thus limiting the usable space of the device. Because the firing mechanism is directly connected to the motor, common firing mechanisms often experience motor overload due to unforeseen circumstances during operation, resulting in inadequate motor protection and affecting firing performance. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The bottom ends of the first and second elastic firing assemblies are fixed to the base frame, and the top ends are fixed to the rotating shaft assembly, respectively, for elastically driving the rotating shaft assembly and ratchet to make circumferential movement.

[0010] Preferably, the ratchet housing, ratchet gear, and power storage transmission assembly are located on the same side of the striking rod.

[0011] Preferably, the power storage transmission assembly includes a motor, a first transmission gear, a transmission chain, and a second transmission gear; the motor is placed on a mounting frame, and the driving end of the motor is connected to the first transmission gear; the second transmission gear is fixedly sleeved on a ratchet housing, and one end of the transmission chain is engaged with the first transmission gear, and the other end is engaged with the second transmission gear.

[0012] Preferably, the drive shaft assembly includes a first lug, a second lug, and a rotating shaft; the first lug is fixed to the top of the first support frame, the second lug is fixed to the top of the second support frame, the first lug and the second lug are arranged opposite to each other, and a through hole is provided coaxially on the lug panel; both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably disposed in the through holes of the first lug and the second lug; one end of the striking rod and the ratchet are both fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft; one end of the first elastic firing assembly and the second elastic firing assembly are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the first elastic firing assembly includes a first tension spring and a first connecting rod; the top end of the first tension spring is provided with a first fixed top block and the bottom end is provided with a first fixed bottom block; the first fixed bottom block is mounted on the base frame, one end of the first connecting rod is connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the other end of the first connecting rod is connected to the first fixed top block;

[0016] Furthermore, the relative line between the first tension spring and the second tension spring is set parallel to the relative line between the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are of equal length.

[0018] Preferably, the length of the striking rod is less than the height of the first support frame and the second support frame.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also provides a circumferential energy storage firing method utilizing a ratchet clutch, based on the aforementioned circumferential energy storage firing structure utilizing a ratchet clutch, comprising the following process:

[0020] Initiating power accumulation:

[0021] The motor drives the first transmission gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission gear to rotate via a transmission chain. The second transmission gear is fixedly mounted on the ratchet housing, causing the ratchet housing to rotate. The pawl on the ratchet housing pushes the teeth of the ratchet gear to rotate. The ratchet gear is fixed on the rotating shaft, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. The striking rod mounted on the rotating shaft rotates synchronously. At the same time, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod at both ends of the rotating shaft pull the first tension spring and the second tension spring synchronously through the rotation of the rotating shaft until the striking rod reaches its dead point. At this point, the first tension spring and the second tension spring are in a taut state, completing the power storage operation.

[0022] To fire:

[0023] The motor sequentially drives the first transmission gear, transmission chain, second transmission gear, and ratchet housing to move the striking rod past the dead point position. The first and second tension springs release elastic potential energy and drive the rotation shaft to rotate through the first and second connecting rods. The rotation shaft simultaneously drives the striking rod to strike rapidly downwards from the dead point position and drives the ratchet to rotate rapidly. At this time, the ratchet rotates rapidly and separates from the ratchet housing, second transmission gear, transmission chain, first transmission gear, and motor through the pawl, completing the striking operation.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] This invention provides a circumferential energy-storing firing structure utilizing a ratchet clutch. The bottom ends of a first support frame and a second support frame are respectively mounted on a base frame, and a rotating shaft assembly is provided between the top ends of the first and second support frames. One end of the striking rod is fixed to the rotating shaft assembly and rotates circumferentially between the first and second support frames with the rotating shaft assembly as the center. The ratchet assembly includes a ratchet housing and a ratchet gear. The ratchet gear is fixed to the rotating shaft assembly and rotates synchronously with it. The ratchet housing is fitted onto the ratchet gear, and a plurality of pawls are arranged around the inside of the ratchet housing, with the pawls contacting the teeth of the ratchet gear. The ratchet gear can be separated from the ratchet housing by the pawls or... The components are combined to prevent the ratchet housing from rotating during firing, which could overload the motor. A placement rack is provided on the second support frame. One end of the power-charging transmission assembly is mounted on the placement rack, and the other end is fixedly sleeved on the ratchet housing. This assembly drives the ratchet housing to rotate, so that during power charging, the power-charging transmission assembly drives the striking rod to rise to the dead center position and then drives the striking rod past the dead center position. The first and second elastic firing assemblies release elastic potential energy to drive the rotating shaft assembly to move circumferentially. Without the need for a motor, the striking rod can fall rapidly. At the same time, the ratchet gear and the ratchet housing are separated, thus avoiding the problem of motor overload.

[0026] Furthermore, the ratchet housing, ratchet gear, and power storage transmission assembly are located on the same side of the striking rod for easy operation.

[0027] Furthermore, the power storage transmission assembly includes a motor, a first transmission gear, a transmission chain, and a second transmission gear; the motor is placed on the mounting frame, and the driving end of the motor is connected to the first transmission gear; the second transmission gear is fixedly sleeved on the ratchet housing, one end of the transmission chain is engaged with the first transmission gear, and the other end is engaged with the second transmission gear, which effectively improves the transmission potential energy and facilitates the upward movement of the striking rod by the motor drive.

[0028] Furthermore, one end of the striking rod and the ratchet are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, forming an integral structure with the rotating shaft. One end of the first elastic firing assembly and the second elastic firing assembly are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft, so that the first elastic firing assembly and the second elastic firing assembly can drive the striking rod and the ratchet to rotate synchronously through the transmission shaft.

[0029] Furthermore, the first fixed top block and the first fixed bottom block are coaxially arranged at the top and bottom of the first tension spring, respectively; the second fixed top block and the second fixed bottom block are coaxially arranged at the top and bottom of the second tension spring, respectively, so that the first tension spring and the second tension spring can generate the same elastic potential energy, enabling them to participate in the two processes of power storage and firing.

[0030] Furthermore, the length of the striking rod is less than the height of the first and second support frames to prevent the striking rod from breaking when it falls to its lowest point.

[0031] This invention also provides a circumferential energy-storing firing method using a ratchet clutch. The energy-storing transmission assembly drives the ratchet assembly on the rotating shaft assembly to perform energy-storing work, rotating the striking rod between the first and second support frames to its highest point. At this point, the energy-storing transmission assembly drives the striking rod past its dead point, and the elastic potential energy of the first and second elastic firing components reaches its maximum value for firing. The first and second elastic firing components rapidly contract, causing the striking rod to quickly rotate circumferentially from its highest point to its lowest point. At this time, the energy-storing transmission assembly is separated from the ratchet. The first and second elastic firing components drive the striking rod to rotate, ensuring that the rotating shaft assembly and ratchet are completely separated from the energy-storing transmission assembly during firing, thus avoiding motor overload.

[0032] Furthermore, a spring device is used to store elastic potential energy, achieving the goal of storing a large amount of energy with a small motor. The elastic modulus can be changed by altering the spring type, or the spring length can be changed to vary the force required to fire at different objects. This method is simpler to operate than replacing the motor and significantly reduces the costs associated with adapting motors due to the excessive force required by traditional firing mechanisms. Utilizing a ratchet structure, clutch control is achieved from the motor to the firing mechanism, effectively reducing the impact and overload issues caused by the device, significantly lowering the manufacturing cost of traditional firing mechanisms, and improving the overall safety of the device.

[0040] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circumferential energy storage firing structure and method using a ratchet clutch to solve the technical problem of motor overload caused by uncontrollable factors when firing objects.

[0041] Example 1

[0048] Specifically, according to Figure 2As shown, the drive shaft assembly 9 includes a first lug 9-1, a second lug 9-2, and a rotating shaft 9-3; the first lug 9-1 is fixed to the top of the first support frame 1, and the second lug 9-2 is fixed to the top of the second support frame 2. The first lug 9-1 and the second lug 9-2 are arranged opposite to each other, and a through hole is provided coaxially on the lug panel. The two ends of the rotating shaft 9-3 are rotatably disposed in the through holes of the first lug 9-1 and the second lug 9-2; one end of the striking rod 8 and the ratchet are both fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 9-3; one end of the first elastic firing assembly 4 and the second elastic firing assembly 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 9-3.

[0049] The first elastic firing assembly 4 includes a first tension spring 4-1 and a first connecting rod 4-2; the top end of the first tension spring 4-1 is provided with a first fixing top block 4-3 and the bottom end is provided with a first fixing bottom block 4-4; the first fixing bottom block 4-4 is mounted on the base frame 6; one end of the first connecting rod 4-2 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 9-3, and the other end of the first connecting rod 4-2 is connected to the first fixing top block 4-3;

[0050] The second elastic firing assembly 5 includes a second tension spring 5-1 and a second connecting rod 5-2; the top end of the second tension spring 5-1 is provided with a second fixing top block 5-3 and the bottom end is provided with a second fixing bottom block 5-4; the second fixing bottom block 5-4 is mounted on the base frame 6, one end of the second connecting rod 5-2 is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 9-3, and the other end of the second connecting rod 5-2 is connected to the second fixing top block 5-3.

One end of the striking rod is fixed to the rotating shaft assembly and rotates circumferentially between the first and second support frames with the rotating shaft assembly as the center. The ratchet assembly includes a ratchet housing and a ratchet gear. The ratchet gear is fixed to the rotating shaft assembly and rotates synchronously with it. The ratchet housing is fitted onto the ratchet gear, and a plurality of pawls are arranged around the inside of the ratchet housing, with the pawls contacting the teeth of the ratchet gear. The ratchet gear engages with the ratchet housing through the pawls. The ratchet gear and ratchet housing are separated or combined to avoid overloading the motor by rotating the ratchet housing during firing. A placement rack is provided on the second support frame. One end of the power storage transmission assembly is set on the placement rack, and the other end is fixedly sleeved on the ratchet housing to drive the ratchet housing to rotate. During power storage, the power storage transmission assembly drives the striking rod to rise to the dead point position and then drives the striking rod past the dead point position. The first elastic firing assembly and the second elastic firing assembly release elastic potential energy to drive the rotating shaft assembly to make circumferential movement. Without the need for motor drive, the striking rod can fall rapidly. At the same time, the ratchet gear and ratchet housing are separated, thus avoiding the problem of motor overload.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] This embodiment also provides a circumferential energy storage firing method using a ratchet clutch, based on the above-described circumferential energy storage firing structure using a ratchet clutch, comprising the following process:

[0057] Initiating power accumulation:

[0058] Motor 3-1 drives the first transmission gear 3-2 to rotate. The first transmission gear 3-2 drives the second transmission gear 3-4 to rotate via transmission chain 3-3. The second transmission gear 3-4 is fixedly sleeved on ratchet housing 7-1, driving ratchet housing 7-1 to rotate. The pawl 7-2 set on ratchet housing 7-1 pushes the teeth of ratchet gear 7-3 to rotate ratchet gear 7-3. Rag gear 7-3 is fixed on rotating shaft 9-3, driving rotating shaft 9-3 to rotate. The striking rod 8 set on rotating shaft 9-3 rotates synchronously. At the same time, the first connecting rod 4-2 and the second connecting rod 5-2 at both ends of rotating shaft 9-3 pull the first tension spring 4-1 and the second tension spring 4-2 synchronously through the rotation of rotating shaft 9-3 until the striking rod 8 reaches the dead point. The first tension spring 4-1 and the second tension spring 4-2 are in a tensioned state, completing the power storage work.

[0059] To fire:

[0060] Motor 3-1 sequentially drives the first transmission gear 3-2, transmission chain 3-3, second transmission gear 3-4, and ratchet housing 7-1 to move the striking rod past the dead point position. The first tension spring 4-1 and the second tension spring 4-2 release elastic potential energy, and drive the rotation shaft 9-3 to rotate through the first connecting rod 4-2 and the second connecting rod 5-2. The rotation of the rotation shaft 9-3 simultaneously drives the striking rod 8 to strike rapidly downward from the dead point position and drives the ratchet gear 7-3 to rotate rapidly. At this time, the ratchet gear 7-3 rotates rapidly and separates from the ratchet housing 7-1, the second transmission gear 3-4, the transmission chain 3-3, the first transmission gear 3-2, and the motor 3-1 through the pawl 7-2, completing the striking operation.

[0061] This invention achieves optimized and precise control of firing force without changing the motor power, and ensures the efficiency and repeatability of the firing process.

[0062] In this invention, the mechanical energy generated by the power storage transmission component is converted into the elastic potential energy stored by the spring tension. At the same time, as the elastic potential energy of the first elastic firing component 4 and the second elastic firing component 5 gradually increases, the firing rod 8 is gradually raised until it reaches the dead point. The dead point is the highest point reached by the power storage firing mechanism, which is set according to the target block and the usage requirements of the device. Under the action of the ratchet, the firing mechanism releases the elastic potential energy while separating from the motor power storage device, providing a large kinetic energy to the firing mechanism in a short time, so as to achieve the purpose of launching the block.

[0063] In this invention, the motor 3-1 is the power source for energy storage and the power source for the entire structure. Power is transmitted and torque is transformed through the first transmission gear 3-2, the transmission chain 3-3 and the second transmission gear 3-4. The first connecting rod 4-2 and the second connecting rod 5-2 are respectively connected to the first tension spring 4-1 and the second tension spring 5-1 at one end, and respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 9-3 at the other end.

[0064] When the second transmission gear 3-4 drives the ratchet 7-2 in the ratchet housing 7-1 to rotate, the ratchet 7-2 rotates through the rotating shaft 9-3 to drive the first connecting rod 4-2 and the second connecting rod 5-2, thereby steadily and continuously converting kinetic energy into tensile elastic potential energy.

[0065] During the rotation, the striking rod 8 also rotates continuously. When it reaches the dead point, the elastic potential energy reaches its maximum value. When the motor 3-1 continues to work until the next moment after the dead point, the pawl 7-2 disengages from the ratchet 7-3, separating the series of transmission components from the motor 3-1 to the pawl 7-2 from the ratchet 7-3, the rotating shaft assembly, the first elastic firing assembly 4, the second elastic firing assembly 5, and the striking rod 8. For a period of time thereafter, the motion system powered by the motor continues to operate normally, while the motion system powered by the first connecting rod 4-2 and the second connecting rod 5-2 converts the elastic potential energy into the kinetic energy of the striking rod 8 during the pulling process of the first tension spring 4-1 and the second tension spring 5-1. The motion system powered by the energy storage spring moves clockwise downwards. When the striking rod 8 rotates 180 degrees from the dead point and contacts the target ball, reaching the energy storage angle of the dead point, after contacting the object and completing one firing, the two motion systems are connected again by the pawl in the ratchet structure to store energy for the next firing.

[0066] In summary, the energy conversion process used in this invention is roughly as follows: the kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the electric motor is converted into the elastic potential energy of the first and second elastic firing components. This elastic potential energy is then converted into the kinetic energy of the striking rod, which strikes the target ball, converting the energy into the ball's kinetic energy. The use of ratchet gears and pawls firstly reduces the power requirements of the motor during the conversion of elastic potential energy, allowing for the use of a smaller motor while maintaining the same firing impulse, thus significantly reducing product costs. Secondly, the simple structure and high detachability of the first and second elastic firing components broaden the application range of the firing device. Furthermore, by dividing the entire mechanism into two motion systems during firing, it solves most dangerous situations such as short circuits and overloads caused by excessive instantaneous load and back electromotive force generated by the motor.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the specific implementation of the present invention. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

A circumferential energy storage firing method utilizing a ratchet clutch, characterized in that, A circumferential energy storage and firing structure utilizing a ratchet clutch, as described in any one of claims 1-7, comprises the following process: Initiating power accumulation: The motor (3-1) drives the first transmission gear (3-2) to rotate. The first transmission gear (3-2) drives the second transmission gear (3-4) to rotate via the transmission chain (3-3). The second transmission gear (3-4) is fixedly mounted on the ratchet housing (7-1), driving the ratchet housing (7-1) to rotate. The pawl (7-2) on the ratchet housing (7-1) pushes the teeth of the ratchet gear (7-3) to rotate. The ratchet gear (7-3) is fixed on the rotating... On the shaft (9-3), the rotating shaft (9-3) is driven to rotate, and the striking rod (8) set on the rotating shaft (9-3) rotates synchronously; at the same time, the first connecting rod (4-2) and the second connecting rod (5-2) at both ends of the rotating shaft (9-3) synchronously pull the first tension spring (4-1) and the second tension spring (5-1) through the rotation of the rotating shaft (9-3) until the striking rod (8) reaches the dead point, the first tension spring (4-1) and the second tension spring (5-1) are in a tensioned state, and the power storage work is completed; To fire: The motor (3-1) sequentially drives the first transmission gear (3-2), the transmission chain (3-3), the second transmission gear (3-4), and the ratchet housing (7-1) to drive the striking rod past the dead point position.
