Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of badminton rack storage technology, and in particular to a badminton rack. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread popularity of badminton and the deepening appreciation for the sport, the badminton industry has rapidly grown into a high-growth, large-scale emerging industry. This industry encompasses not only badminton tournaments, training, and related equipment, but also the development of various auxiliary facilities. However, despite the increasing number of badminton participants, there is a lack of convenient storage facilities specifically designed for badminton, such as badminton racks.

[0003] On a badminton court, players often need to quickly retrieve shuttlecocks and change rackets during matches or training. However, shuttlecocks and rackets are usually piled up haphazardly in a corner of the court. The lack of suitable storage facilities leads to a messy arrangement, affecting not only the cleanliness and aesthetics of the court but also making it difficult for players to access their items. This can even impact the flow of the game and the players' performance. Furthermore, improper storage can damage shuttlecocks and rackets, shortening their lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, existing technology still needs improvement and development, and there is a lack of a badminton rack that allows players to quickly and conveniently store and retrieve shuttlecocks and rackets. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention incorporates a badminton racket storage component and a badminton shuttlecock storage component, enabling players to quickly access and retrieve shuttlecocks and rackets, thereby improving the speed of access and ultimately enhancing the player's playing experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a badminton racket, comprising: a badminton racket storage component, wherein the badminton racket storage component is used to store badminton rackets;

[0007] A badminton shuttlecock storage component, wherein the badminton shuttlecock storage component is used to store badminton shuttlecocks;

[0008] A tilting rod, which is not horizontally positioned, is connected between the badminton racket storage assembly and the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly. The tilting rod is used to support the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the badminton racket storage component includes: a plurality of hanging rods, one end of which is connected to the badminton racket storage component, and the distance between any two adjacent hanging rods is less than 22 centimeters.

[0010] Furthermore, several of the hanging rods are arranged parallel to each other and horizontally, with a spacing of eight centimeters between any two adjacent hanging rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the badminton storage component includes: a badminton storage tube, one end of which is inclined downwards, the badminton storage tube is connected to a plurality of the hanging rods, and the badminton storage tube is used to store badminton shuttlecocks;

[0012] A limiting ring is provided at the downward-facing end of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube. The inner diameter of the limiting ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube, thereby restricting the badminton shuttlecocks inside the badminton shuttlecock storage tube from falling due to gravity.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting ring includes a fixing part, which is disposed on the badminton shuttlecock storage tube;

[0014] The movable part has one end hinged to the fixed part and the other end forming a movable end. The movable part is driven to rotate and has a locked state and a released state, wherein:

[0015] In the locked state, the movable end abuts against the fixed part, and the movable part and the fixed part form a ring structure. The inner diameter of the ring structure is smaller than the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube to limit the badminton shuttlecocks inside the badminton shuttlecock storage tube from falling due to gravity.

[0016] In the released state, the movable end separates from the fixed part, and the movable part and the fixed part form an arc-shaped structure. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped structure is larger than the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube, so that the badminton shuttlecocks inside the badminton shuttlecock storage tube fall due to gravity.

[0017] Furthermore, the limiting ring also includes a spring assembly, which is disposed between the fixed part and the movable part, and is used to drive the movable end to move toward the fixed part.

[0018] Furthermore, the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly also includes a drive assembly, which includes a magnet disposed at the movable end;

[0019] An electromagnet is disposed on the fixed part, and the electromagnet corresponds to the magnet. The electromagnet is used to drive the magnet to move closer to or away from the electromagnet.

[0020] Furthermore, the badminton storage assembly also includes a distance sensor, which is disposed on the badminton storage tube and has the same orientation as the end of the badminton storage tube facing the limiting ring. The distance sensor is used to detect the distance between the badminton racket and the badminton storage tube, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the drive assembly.

[0021] Furthermore, the badminton racket storage component also includes a frame, with the badminton racket storage component and the badminton racket storage component respectively disposed on the upper end of the frame, and a pulley portion disposed on the lower end of the frame.

[0022] Furthermore, the badminton storage assembly also includes: a plurality of shelf units, which are horizontally spaced on the frame and are used to store personal items.

[0023] Beneficial effects: By setting up badminton racket storage components and badminton shuttlecock storage components, this invention facilitates players to quickly access badminton shuttlecocks and rackets, improves the speed of players' access to badminton shuttlecocks and rackets, and thus enhances the players' playing experience.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] The invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the embodiments.

[0032] This embodiment provides a badminton racket, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: It includes a badminton racket storage component 100, a badminton shuttlecock storage component 200, and a tilting rod 510. The tilting rod 510 is not horizontally positioned and is connected between the badminton racket storage component 100 and the badminton shuttlecock storage component 200. The badminton racket storage component 100 is used to store badminton rackets, the badminton shuttlecock storage component 200 is used to store badminton shuttlecocks, and the tilting rod 510 is used to support the badminton shuttlecock storage component 200. Specifically, the badminton racket storage component 100 and the badminton shuttlecock storage component 200 can be fixedly installed on the badminton court or movably installed on the badminton court. Preferably, they are movably installed on the badminton court, and their positions can be moved as needed to adapt to the player's needs. The tilting rod 510 can tilt the badminton shuttlecock storage component 200, making it easier for the player to access the shuttlecock.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the badminton racket storage assembly 100 includes several hanging rods 110, one end of which is connected to the badminton racket storage assembly 200. The distance between any two adjacent hanging rods 110 is less than 22 centimeters. Specifically, the badminton racket storage assembly 100 also includes a stop bar, which forms a "mountain" shape with three of the hanging rods 110. Players can insert the badminton racket from the opening at the end away from the stop bar, so that the badminton racket is positioned between two of the hanging rods 110. At this time, the string face of the badminton racket faces upward, and the string face of the badminton racket abuts against the two hanging rods 110 respectively, thus storing the badminton racket. As is well known, the standard size of badminton rackets in China is 675mm, with the string surface not exceeding 280mm in length and 220mm in width. The spacing of the hanging rods 110 takes this special size into account. The spacing between any two adjacent hanging rods 110 is less than the width of the badminton racket string surface, which can prevent the badminton racket string surface from falling off due to gravity.

[0034] Preferably, there is at least 50 centimeters of space between the hanging rods 110 and the ground. Most mainstream badminton rackets on the market, excluding the string surface, have a racket handle and shaft length greater than 50 centimeters, thus enabling the badminton racket storage function.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, several hanging rods 110 are arranged parallel to each other and horizontally, with a distance of eight centimeters between any two adjacent hanging rods 110.

[0036] Specifically, the distance between any two adjacent hanging rods 110 is eight centimeters, much smaller than the width of the badminton racket's string surface. This prevents the racket's string surface from falling due to gravity, fulfilling the requirement for securing the racket's string surface, and allows the racket to be temporarily placed horizontally above several hanging rods 110. Preferably, the length of the hanging rods 110 is 20 centimeters. Considering the thickness of the badminton racket, the hanging rods 110 can easily accommodate five or more badminton rackets, meeting the storage needs of most individuals and the storage needs of multiple people playing in groups.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the badminton storage assembly 200 includes a badminton storage tube 210 and a retaining ring 220. The badminton storage tube 210 is used to store badminton shuttlecocks. Specifically, the badminton storage tube 210 can be a commercially available badminton packaging tube for storing badminton shuttlecocks, or it can be an accessory that matches the badminton packaging tube. Preferably, the badminton storage tube 210 is an accessory that matches the badminton packaging tube. In actual use, the badminton packaging tube can be inserted into the badminton storage tube 210, so that the badminton storage tube 210 is fitted onto the badminton packaging tube. When the badminton shuttlecocks in the badminton packaging tube are used up, the badminton packaging tube can be removed from the badminton storage tube 210, and a new badminton packaging tube can be inserted into the badminton storage tube 210 for use.

[0038] One end of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 is inclined downwards. Specifically, the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 is not less than the cross-sectional diameter on the axis of the badminton shuttlecock. Preferably, the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter on the axis of the badminton shuttlecock. For example, if the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 is 1 mm to 5 mm larger than the cross-sectional diameter on the axis of the badminton shuttlecock, the badminton shuttlecock inside the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 can slide down and leave the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 under the action of gravity. The badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 is connected to several hanging rods 110. The limiting ring 220 is set at the downward-facing end of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210, thus restricting the badminton shuttlecock inside the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 from falling due to gravity. In actual use, the shuttlecocks in the shuttlecock storage tube 210 are placed with their heads facing down. The shuttlecocks in the shuttlecock storage tube 210 can slide down to the limiting ring 220 under the action of gravity. When the shuttlecock head passes through the limiting ring 220, it falls out. At this time, the player can pull the shuttlecock out of the limiting ring 220 by hand. The player can also swing the badminton racket to hit the limiting ring 220, so that the shuttlecock is vibrated and falls out through the limiting ring 220.

[0039] Preferably, multiple badminton shuttlecock storage tubes 210 are provided, with each badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210 corresponding to a limiting ring 220. An inclined plate 520 is fixed on the inclined rod 510, and multiple badminton shuttlecock storage tubes 210 are arranged side by side on the inclined plate 520.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting ring 220 includes a fixed part 221 and a movable part 222. The fixed part 221 is disposed on the badminton shuttlecock storage tube 210. One end of the movable part 222 is hinged to the fixed part 221, and the other end forms a movable end. The movable part 222 is driven to rotate and has a locked state and a released state, wherein:

[0041] In the locked state, the movable end abuts against the fixed part 221, and the movable part 222 and the fixed part 221 form an annular structure. The inner diameter of the annular structure is smaller than the inner diameter of the shuttlecock storage tube 210 to limit the shuttlecocks inside the shuttlecock storage tube 210 from falling due to gravity. Specifically, the inner diameter of the annular structure is not greater than the cross-sectional diameter on the axis of the shuttlecock. The annular structure is coaxially arranged with the shuttlecock storage tube 210. In actual use, the shuttlecocks inside the shuttlecock storage tube 210 are placed with their heads facing down. The shuttlecocks inside the shuttlecock storage tube 210 can slide down under the action of gravity and pass through the limiting ring 220 and protrude out of the shuttlecock storage tube 210. Since the inner diameter of the annular structure is not greater than the cross-sectional diameter on the axis of the shuttlecock, the annular structure can limit the shuttlecock from leaving in the locked state.

[0042] In the released state, the movable end separates from the fixed part 221, and the movable part 222 and the fixed part 221 form an arc-shaped structure. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped structure is larger than the inner diameter of the shuttlecock storage tube 210, so that the shuttlecocks inside the shuttlecock storage tube 210 fall due to gravity. Specifically, the inner diameter of the arc-shaped structure is larger than the cross-sectional diameter on the shuttlecock axis, so the shuttlecock stuck on the limiting ring 220 can leave the limiting ring 220 and fall due to gravity.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting ring 220 also includes a spring assembly 223, which is disposed between the fixed part 221 and the movable part 222. The spring assembly 223 is used to drive the movable end to move toward the fixed part 221. In actual use, the player can pry the fixed part 221 and the movable part 222 apart by hand, or strike the movable end by swinging the badminton racket, so that the movable part 222 is released, allowing the shuttlecock stuck on the limiting ring 220 to leave the limiting ring 220 and fall off due to gravity.

[0044] Preferably, the limiting ring 220 also includes a protrusion, which is disposed on the movable end. In actual use, the player can strike the protrusion by swinging the badminton racket, causing the movable part 222 to be released, so that the shuttlecock stuck on the limiting ring 220 can be released by gravity and fall off the limiting ring 220. Then, the movable part 222 is driven by the spring assembly 223 to move toward the fixed part 221 to prevent the remaining shuttlecocks in the shuttlecock storage tube 210 from leaving the limiting ring 220 and falling off.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, preferably, the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly 200 also includes a drive assembly that can drive the movable part 222 to rotate, so that the movable part 222 has a locked state and a released state. The drive assembly includes a magnet and an electromagnet 224. The magnet is disposed at the movable end, and the electromagnet 224 is disposed on the fixed part 221. The electromagnet 224 corresponds to the magnet and is used to drive the magnet to move closer to or away from the electromagnet 224.

[0046] In actual use, the player can control the electromagnet 224 to loosen the movable part 222, allowing the shuttlecock stuck on the limiting ring 220 to fall off due to gravity. Preferably, the working time of the electromagnet 224 can be controlled so that the movable part 222 remains in the loose state for a certain period before switching to the locking state, thus preventing multiple shuttlecocks from falling off the limiting ring 220 simultaneously.

[0047] In one embodiment, the badminton racket storage assembly 200 further includes a distance sensor disposed on the badminton racket storage cylinder 210, and the distance sensor and the end of the badminton racket storage cylinder 210 facing the limiting ring 220 are oriented in the same direction. The distance sensor is used to detect the distance between the badminton racket and the badminton racket storage cylinder 210, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the drive assembly.

[0048] Specifically, the distance sensor can be a laser rangefinder, radar rangefinder, or camera, etc., any sensor capable of detecting the distance between the badminton racket and the shuttlecock storage tube 210. In actual use, the player can swing the badminton racket closer to the shuttlecock storage tube 210. When the distance sensor detects that the distance between the racket and the tube is less than a certain threshold, it controls the electromagnet 224 to operate, causing the movable end to move away from the fixed part 221, thus releasing the shuttlecock. This allows the shuttlecock, which is stuck on the limiting ring 220, to fall off due to gravity. Preferably, the distance sensor is located at the upper end of the shuttlecock storage tube 210 to ensure accurate detection of the racket.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the badminton racket storage assembly 200 also includes a frame 300, with the badminton racket storage assembly 100 and the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly 200 respectively disposed on the upper end of the frame 300, and a pulley portion 310 disposed on the lower end of the frame 300. The badminton racket storage assembly 100 and the badminton shuttlecock storage assembly 200 can be moved to any position on the court as needed to accommodate the player's needs.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the badminton storage assembly 200 also includes a plurality of shelves 400, which are horizontally spaced on the frame 300 and are used to store personal items.

[0051] 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 them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
