Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of billiard table accessories, and particularly relates to a billiard table ball collector track with a composite structure. Background Art

[0002] A billiard table ball collector track refers to a channel or track system installed under or around the pocket of a billiard table, which is used to guide the billiard balls falling from the pocket and collect them at a specific collection position.

[0003] Currently, the billiard table ball collector tracks on the market include the following several structures:

[0004] 1. After being welded and formed with 4 - 6 mm iron wire and then subjected to plastic dipping surface treatment, specifically, reference can be made to a billiard table ball collecting track disclosed in Chinese Patent CN214633895U. This kind of billiard table ball collecting track is mainly applied to Chinese-style billiard tables, requiring that the welding process is not de-welded and the size is fixed. For billiard tables of different specifications, different lengths are required. After being integrally welded and packaged, the size is large. At the same time, during transportation and use, the iron wire often de-welds and breaks.

[0005] 2. Using a plastic one-piece formed pipe track. This kind of billiard table ball collecting track is more used in American or British billiard tables. Due to one-piece forming, the length must be made according to the maximum length. For billiard tables of different specifications, it can only be cut accordingly. At the same time, due to material limitations, the strength and service life of this kind of track are short, the packaging volume is large, and there is material waste.

[0006] 3. Using a plastic pipe as the main body and then combining with tee fittings for branch assembly of the ball collecting track. Specifically, reference can be made to a billiard ball distributing and collecting device disclosed in Chinese Patent CN211536486U. This kind of ball collecting track uses simple materials, mainly market plastic pipes, which are cut according to actual needs. The main pipe does not need to be molded, the cost is low, and the production is simple, but the aesthetic degree is low. It is necessary to open holes to observe the internal ball jamming position. If there are foreign objects blocked inside, the billiard equipment will be jammed, which is not convenient for maintenance and after-sales service.

[0007] In summary, the existing billiard table ball collector tracks all have certain deficiencies in terms of transportation, installation, use, maintenance, and cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of ball collector track to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0036] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention more clearly, so they are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0038] As Figures 1-7 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a ball collector track for a billiard table with a composite structure, which is spliced by at least two ball collector track units 100.

[0039] The ball collector track unit 100 includes two parallel track profile slide bars 110, two end connectors 120, several middle connectors 130 and several mounting parts 140.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a billiard ball chute for the rolling of billiard balls is formed at the upper part between the two track profile slide bars 110.

[0041] Optionally, the track profile slide bar 110 is made of aluminum profile. The aluminum profile has the advantages of light weight, high strength, easy processing, etc., and can be accurately cut according to the design length requirements of different billiard table ball collector tracks.

[0042] It can be understood that the track profile slide bar 110 can also be made of other materials, such as stainless steel bent guide rails, plastic steel extruded profiles, etc.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 3 Two end connectors 120 are respectively arranged at both ends of the ball collecting track unit 100. Each end connector 120 is installed at the side ends on the same side of the two track profile sliders 110, and a groove 121 that does not exceed the billiard chute is formed on the upper part of each end connector 120. The ball collecting track units 100 are spliced through the end connectors 120. The upper part of the end connector 120 forms a groove 121, and this groove 121 does not exceed the billiard chute and does not affect the rolling of the billiard ball in the track.

[0044] Preferably, the end connector 120 is fixed to the side ends of the two track profile sliders 110 by screws.

[0045] When assembling the end connector 120, first align the two end connectors 120 with the two ends of the track profile slider 110 respectively, and use screws to pass through the preset mounting holes on the end connector 120 and tighten and fix them with the threaded holes on the side ends of the track profile slider 110.

[0046] In some embodiments, the end connector 120 is provided with a clamping groove 122 and a clamping protrusion 123. The clamping grooves 122 and the clamping protrusions 123 on the two end connectors 120 between adjacent ball collecting track units 100 are in one-to-one correspondence and are clamped and matched. During the splicing process, align the clamping protrusion 123 on the end connector 120 at one end of a ball collecting track unit 100 with the clamping groove 122 on the end connector 120 at one end of another ball collecting track unit 100, and then press firmly to make them tightly clamped and matched to complete the splicing, ensuring the structural stability of the splicing part.

[0047] It can be understood that since each ball collecting track unit 100 has to be fixed on the billiard table, the side ends of the end connector 120 may not be provided with a clamping groove 122 and a clamping protrusion 123, and the end connectors 120 between adjacent ball collecting track units 100 are directly butted, which will not affect the splicing between the ball collecting track units 100 either.

[0048] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in

[0049] In some embodiments, the middle connecting member 130 includes a card seat 131 and a card board 132. L-shaped extension parts 111 extending along the length direction are provided on the relative inner sides of the lower parts of the two track profile slide bars 110 of the ball collector track unit 100. Limit slots 1311 are provided at both ends of the card seat 131 and are respectively stuck on the outer sides of the lower parts of the L-shaped extension parts 111 of the two track profile slide bars 110. Both ends of the card board 132 are respectively limited on the upper sides of the bottom plates of the L-shaped extension parts 111 of the two track profile slide bars 110, and the card board 132 is fixed on the card seat 131 by screws.

[0050] When installing the middle connecting member 130, the limit slots 1311 at both ends of the card seat 131 are respectively stuck on the outer sides of the lower parts of the L-shaped extension parts 111 of the two track profile slide bars 110. At this time, the card seat 131 is preliminarily fixed on the two track profile slide bars 110. Then, both ends of the card board 132 are respectively placed on the upper sides of the bottom plates of the L-shaped extension parts 111 of the two track profile slide bars 110, and the card board 132 is fixed on the card seat 131 by screws. In this way, the two track profile slide bars 110 are firmly connected together at the lower part, enhancing the overall structural strength of the ball collector track unit 100.

[0051] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the middle connecting member 130 can adopt an integral structure. Card slots are provided on both sides of the middle connecting member 130, and the card slots on both sides of the middle connecting member 130 are respectively snapped into the ends of the two track profile slide bars 110 to realize the connection between the middle connecting member 130 and the two track profile slide bars 110.

[0052] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the mounting member 140 is used to mount the ball collector track on the billiard table, and each mounting member 140 is respectively connected to a corresponding middle connecting member 130.

[0053] Preferably, the mounting member 140 includes a horizontal plate portion 141, a vertical plate portion 142, and an inclined plate portion 143 connected between the horizontal plate portion 141 and the vertical plate portion 142. The horizontal plate portion 141 is fixed on the lower side of the middle connecting member 130, and the vertical plate portion 142 is used to be mounted on the billiard table.

[0054] Moreover, a positioning post 133 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the middle connecting member 130, and a positioning hole 144 is provided on the horizontal plate portion 141 of the mounting member 140. The positioning hole 144 is positioned on any positioning post 133 and is fixed between the two positioning posts 133 of the middle connecting member 130 by a screw.

[0055] When installing the mounting member 140, first align the horizontal plate portion 141 of the mounting member 140 with the bottom of the middle connecting member 130, so that the positioning holes 144 on the horizontal plate portion 141 are positioned on one of the positioning posts 133. Then, use a screw to fix the horizontal plate portion 141 on the middle connecting member 130 between the two positioning posts 133. The vertical plate portion 142 is fixed on the billiard table by drilling holes at the corresponding positions on the billiard table and using screws or bolts and other middle connecting members 130. The purpose of arranging the two positioning posts 133 at the bottom of the middle connecting member 130 is to meet the positioning requirements for the installation on both the left and right sides of the mounting member 140.

[0056] Referring to Figure 6 , in order to reduce the noise generated when the billiard ball rolls in the track, a silent slide bar 150 is installed on the relative inner sides of the upper parts of the two track profile slide bars 110.

[0057] Preferably, two card rails 112 extending along the length direction are provided on the inner side of the upper part of the track profile slide bar 110. Hooks 151 are provided on both sides of the silent slide bar 150. The two hooks 151 on the silent slide bar 150 are respectively clamped onto the two card rails 112 on the track profile slide bar 110. The end connectors 120 connected to both ends of the track profile slide bar 110 are respectively limited to both ends of the silent slide bar 150.

[0058] When installing the silent slide bar 150, clamp the hooks 151 on the sides of the silent slide bar 150 onto the two card rails 112 on the track profile slide bar 110 respectively. Then, install the end connectors 120 connected to both ends of the track profile slide bar 110 in place. The end connectors 120 can be respectively limited to both ends of the silent slide bar 150 to prevent the silent slide bar 150 from shifting during use.

[0059] Optionally, the silent slide bar 150 is made of a plastic strip. The plastic strip has good flexibility and shock absorption and noise reduction performance, which can effectively reduce the noise when the billiard ball rolls and improve the user experience.

[0060] It can be understood that the silent slide bar 150 can also be made of other materials, such as resin, fiberglass material, etc.

[0061] In summary, the ball collector track of the billiard table in this embodiment is composed of multiple ball collector track units 100 spliced together. It can be disassembled during transportation, reducing the packaging volume and transportation cost. During installation, it can be flexibly spliced according to the specifications of the billiard table, with simple operation, improving the installation efficiency and applicability. Secondly, the ball collector track unit 100 is assembled by two track profile sliders 110, two end connectors 120, and several middle connectors 130. During processing, the track profile sliders 110 can be cut according to the length of the track, and then the two track profile sliders 110 are assembled with components such as end connectors 120 and middle connectors 130. The length of the track is flexibly controllable and can be used in combination with billiard tables of different specifications and different types. The assembled product has a stable structural strength, is overall beautiful and tidy after installation, has strong product versatility, low mold cost, is easy to produce, process, and assemble, and has a highly competitive price, being suitable for large-scale production.
