Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sports auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a badminton ball picking device. Background Art
[0002] A badminton ball usually consists of a ball head and feathers. It is a popular indoor sport that requires not only good physical fitness and skills of athletes, but also agile speed and precise tactical execution ability. When conducting badminton training, a large number of badminton balls are used, so that a large number of badminton balls will be scattered on the badminton court. If the scattered badminton balls on the court are not collected, they will be damaged during the training process, increasing the loss of badminton balls and causing unnecessary waste. In the patent with the application number 202310944529.8, a badminton ball picking machine is disclosed, which includes a vehicle frame. A rotary drive mechanism and an L-shaped badminton ball sweeping-in pipe are arranged on the vehicle frame. A turntable is arranged at the drive end of the rotary drive mechanism, and a plurality of collection barrels are placed on the turntable. A fan impeller is arranged at the front end of the vehicle frame. A first blower is arranged at the lower end of the L-shaped badminton ball sweeping-in pipe, a second blower is arranged outside the upper end of the L-shaped badminton ball sweeping-in pipe, an inlet is arranged at the side part of the lower end of the L-shaped badminton ball sweeping-in pipe, the fan impeller is arranged at the inlet, and an outlet is arranged at the upper end of the L-shaped badminton ball sweeping-in pipe. The present invention can collect badminton balls and neatly place them in the collection barrels. However, in this kind of badminton ball picking device, the badminton balls that enter the pipe first will block the air flow, resulting in the badminton balls that enter the pipe later being unable to be sucked up due to the reduced air flow. With the accumulation of badminton balls at the bottom of the pipe, the badminton ball picking effect will be seriously affected. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a badminton ball picking device to solve the problem that the accumulation of badminton balls at the bottom of the pipe of the existing badminton ball picking device affects the picking effect.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A badminton ball picking device includes a chassis and a storage mechanism. Four rollers and a push rod for pushing the chassis to move are installed at the bottom of the chassis. One end in the moving direction of the chassis is fixedly connected with an inclined plate, the bottom end of the inclined plate extends to the ground, two mutually meshing transmission gears are rotatably connected to the lower surface of the inclined plate, and the two transmission gears are at the same horizontal height. The transmission gears are driven by a motor one to rotate. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the center of each transmission gear, the top end of the fixed shaft vertically passes through the inclined plate and is located above the inclined plate. A plurality of dial rods parallel to the inclined plate are fixedly connected to the circumferential direction of the fixed shaft, and when the two fixed shafts rotate, the dial rods on the two fixed shafts intersect with each other;
[0005] The storage mechanism includes an air pipe and a ball box with an open side wall. The ball box is fixedly connected to the chassis. A tilted guide plate is fixedly connected to the chassis. The top end of the guide plate is located at the top end of the inclined plate, and the bottom end of the guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the open mouth of the ball box. A turntable is installed at the inner bottom of the ball box. The turntable is driven by a second motor to rotate. The turntable is provided with a "rice"-shaped receiving cavity with an open top. An outlet is provided on the side wall of the ball box.
[0006] The air pipe is vertically fixed to the chassis. A blower with an air outlet facing upward is installed at the bottom of the air pipe. An inlet is provided on the air pipe. The inlet is communicated with the outlet and is located above the blower. The top of the air pipe is bent downward. A receiving cylinder is detachably connected to the chassis. The top of the receiving cylinder is communicated with the air pipe. An exhaust hole is provided at the bent part of the top of the air pipe. A guide pipe is communicated with the exhaust hole. The outlet end of the guide pipe passes through the center of the top of the ball box and faces the outlet. The air flow blown out by the guide pipe flows through the chambers in the receiving cavity.
[0007] The working principle of the present invention: When in use, start the first motor, the second motor and the blower, and push the chassis with the push rod to move towards the badminton scattered on the ground with the inclined plate as the front end. When the bottom end of the inclined plate contacts the badminton on the ground, the first motor runs to drive the transmission gear to rotate. Since the two transmission gears are meshed with each other, when the two transmission gears rotate, the two fixed shafts synchronously drive the lever to perform a circular motion around the fixed shaft. When the lever performs a circular motion, the badminton in contact with the inclined plate is pushed towards the top end of the inclined plate. The badminton reaches the top end of the inclined plate under the action of inertia and then falls onto the guide plate. At this time, the badminton slides along the guide plate into one of the chambers of the receiving cavity in the ball box under the action of gravity. After one badminton is received in the chamber, the remaining badminton cannot enter the chamber due to the blockage of this badminton. The second motor runs to drive the turntable to rotate. The rotation of the turntable drives the receiving cavity to rotate. When the receiving cavity rotates, the chamber of the receiving cavity drives the badminton to rotate to the outlet. At this time, the air blown out by the blower flows upward and enters the guide pipe through the exhaust hole, and then is ejected from the outlet end of the guide pipe. The air flow ejected from the guide pipe blows the badminton in the chamber of the receiving cavity towards the outlet and falls into the air pipe through the outlet. Since the blower at the bottom of the air pipe blows upward, the badminton moves upward in the air pipe under the drive of the air flow to the bent part at the top of the air pipe. At this time, the badminton falls into the receiving cylinder under the action of gravity. When the badminton falls into the air pipe, while the air flow drives the badminton to move upward, the badminton also blocks the flow of the gas, so that the air flow ejected from the guide pipe is greatly reduced, and thus is not sufficient to blow the subsequent badminton through the outlet into the air pipe. When the badminton falls downward from the bent part of the air pipe, the air pipe becomes unblocked again, so that a large amount of air flow can flow into the guide pipe, increasing the air flow in the guide pipe to be able to blow the badminton through the outlet again.
[0008] Advantages of the present invention:
[0009] 1. In this solution, the first motor drives the lever to rotate, collecting the badminton scattered on the ground and making the badminton on the ground be collected into the ball box. Then, the second motor drives the turntable to rotate, enabling the badminton to enter different chambers of the receiving bin in sequence. Then, under the action of the air flow in the air duct, the badminton accurately enters the air pipe through the ball outlet. This process realizes the automatic sorting and orderly transportation of badminton. By utilizing the air flow generated by the fan and the special setting of the air duct, when a badminton enters the air pipe, the change in air flow will temporarily prevent subsequent badminton from entering. After the badminton drops through the bent part of the air pipe, the air duct becomes unobstructed and the air flow can resume, thus avoiding the influence of badminton accumulation at the bottom of the pipe on the ball-picking effect and realizing an efficient and continuous ball-picking process. Compared with the prior art, the ball-picking efficiency and stability are greatly improved.
[0010] 2. By designing a "rice"-shaped receiving bin, each chamber can only accommodate one badminton. Therefore, the badminton can only be blown into the air pipe one by one, effectively solving the problem of badminton accumulation at the bottom of the pipe in traditional ball-picking machines.
[0011] 3. The air flow generated by the fan is not only used to push the badminton to move upward, but also helps the badminton enter the air pipe from the ball outlet through the air duct, realizing the multiple utilization of air flow and improving the energy utilization rate.
[0012] Furthermore, a spherical adjustment box is provided between the air pipe and the receiving cylinder. The adjustment box is used for adjusting the direction of the badminton inside. The top of the adjustment box is fixedly connected to the air pipe and is in communication with the air pipe. The bottom of the adjustment box is funnel-shaped, and the bottom of the adjustment box is in communication with the top of the receiving cylinder. The purpose is that when the badminton enters the adjustment box through the air pipe, due to the relatively heavier ball head of the badminton, the gravity it receives is greater and the falling speed is relatively faster. As a result, the position of the badminton is adjusted, turning into a state where the ball head is downward and the feathers are upward. Finally, the badminton falls into the receiving cylinder through the bottom of the adjustment box, realizing the automatic and neat arrangement of the badminton.
[0013] Furthermore, the receiving cylinder is a receiving cylinder made of transparent material. The purpose is that the transparent receiving cylinder is convenient for observing whether the receiving cylinder is full of badminton and whether it needs to be replaced.
[0014] Furthermore, the lever is a lever made of flexible rubber. The purpose is that since the badminton is light in mass, a lever made of flexible rubber can push the badminton. At the same time, if the badminton gets stuck between two levers, the lever can avoid directly damaging the badminton through deformation, reducing the damage to the badminton.
[0015] Further, a filter screen is fixedly connected in the air pipe. The filter screen is located above the fan, and the upper surface of the filter screen and the bottom of the air inlet are on the same horizontal plane. The purpose is to prevent the badminton from falling and contacting the fan blades when entering the air pipe and being damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Two mutually meshing transmission gears 9 are rotatably connected to the lower surface of the inclined plate 8, and the two transmission gears 9 are at the same horizontal height. The transmission gears 9 are driven by a motor one to rotate. A fixed shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the center of each transmission gear 9. The top end of the fixed shaft 7 vertically passes through the inclined plate 8 and is located above the inclined plate 8. A plurality of dial rods 6 parallel to the inclined plate 8 are fixedly connected to the circumferential direction of the fixed shaft 7. The dial rods 6 are made of flexible rubber, and when the two fixed shafts 7 rotate, the dial rods 6 on the two fixed shafts 7 intersect with each other;
[0023] The storage mechanism includes an air pipe 3 and a cylindrical ball box 4 with an open side wall. The ball box 4 is fixedly connected to a base frame 19. An inclined guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the base frame 19. The top of the guide plate 10 is located at the top of the inclined plate 8. The bottom of the guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the open bottom of the ball box 4. A protective shell 5 is installed just above the guide plate 10. The protective shell 5 is fixedly connected to the ball box 4. The protective shell 5 is used to prevent the badminton from continuously moving upward along the inclined plate 8 due to excessive inertia. A turntable 12 is installed at the inner bottom of the ball box 4. The turntable 12 is driven to rotate by a motor 14. A "M"-shaped storage bin 13 is provided on the turntable 12. The top of the storage bin 13 is open. A ball outlet 15 is provided on the side wall of the ball box 4.
[0024] The air pipe 3 is vertically fixed on the base frame 19, and a fan 16 with an air outlet facing upward is installed at the bottom of the air pipe 3. The air pipe 3 is provided with a ball inlet 17, which is connected to the ball outlet 15 and is located above the fan 16. A filter is fixedly connected to the air pipe 3, and the filter is located above the fan 16, and the upper surface of the filter is located at the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the air inlet. The top of the air pipe 3 is bent downward and fixedly connected with a spherical adjustment box 2, which is used to adjust the direction of the badminton inside. The top of the adjustment box 2 is connected to the air pipe 3, and the bottom of the adjustment box 2 is funnel-shaped. A ball receiving tube 18 made of transparent plastic is detachably connected to the base frame 19, and the top of the ball receiving tube 18 is connected to the bottom of the adjustment box 2; an exhaust hole is provided at the bend of the top of the air pipe 3, and the exhaust hole is connected to an air guide pipe 22, and the air outlet end of the air guide pipe 22 passes through the center of the top of the ball box 4 and is located in the ball box 4, and the air outlet end of the air guide pipe 22 is connected to an air nozzle 21, the air nozzle 21 faces the ball outlet 15, and the gas blown out by the air nozzle 21 flows to the chamber 20 in the accommodating cavity.
[0025] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0026] During use, start Motor 1, Motor 2 14 and the blower 16, and use the push rod 1 to drive the chassis 19 to move towards the badminton scattered on the ground with the inclined plate 8 as the front end. When the bottom end of the inclined plate 8 touches the badminton on the ground, Motor 1 runs to drive the transmission gear 9 to rotate. Since the two transmission gears 9 are meshed with each other, when the two transmission gears 9 rotate, they synchronously drive the lever 6 to perform circular motion around the fixed shaft 7 through the two fixed shafts 7. When the lever 6 performs circular motion, it pushes the badminton in contact with the inclined plate 8 towards the top of the inclined plate 8. The badminton reaches the top of the inclined plate 8 under the action of inertia and then falls onto the guide plate 10. At this time, the badminton slides along the guide plate 10 under the action of gravity and falls into one of the chambers 20 of the receiving cavity in the ball box 4. After one badminton is received in the chamber 20, the remaining badminton cannot enter the chamber 20 of the receiving bin 13 due to the blockage of this badminton. Then Motor 2 14 runs to drive the turntable 12 to rotate, and the turntable 12 rotates to drive the receiving bin 13 to rotate on its own axis. When the receiving bin 13 rotates on its own axis, the chamber 20 of the receiving bin 13 drives the badminton to rotate to the ball outlet 15. At this time, the air blown out by the blower 16 flows upward and enters the air duct 22 through the exhaust hole, and then is ejected from the air outlet end of the air duct 22. The air flow ejected from the air duct 22 blows the badminton in the chamber 20 of the receiving cavity towards the ball outlet 15, and the badminton falls through the ball outlet 15 into the air duct 3. Since the blower 16 at the bottom of the air duct 3 blows air upward, the badminton moves upward in the air duct 3 under the drive of the air flow to the bent part at the top of the air duct 3. When the badminton enters the adjustment box 2 through the air duct 3, since the ball head of the badminton is relatively heavy, the gravity it receives is greater and the falling speed is relatively fast. As a result, the position of the badminton is adjusted to a state where the ball head is downward and the feathers are upward. Finally, the badminton falls through the bottom of the adjustment box 2 into the receiving cylinder 18, realizing the automatic and neat arrangement of the badminton. When the badminton falls into the air duct 3, while the air flow drives the badminton to move upward, the badminton also blocks the flow of the gas, causing the air flow ejected from the air duct 22 to greatly decrease, and thus not being sufficient to blow the subsequent badminton through the ball outlet 15 into the air duct 3. When the badminton falls downward from the bent part of the air duct 3, the air duct 3 becomes unobstructed again, allowing a large amount of air flow to flow into the air duct 22, increasing the air flow in the air duct 22 again to a level where it can blow the badminton through the ball outlet 15.
