[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of simulated badminton, in particular to a fixing structure of a simulated badminton. Background Art

[0002] Simulated badminton is an artificial alternative to traditional natural feather (goose / duck feather) shuttlecocks. It was designed primarily to address the high cost, complex manufacturing process, and insufficient durability of traditional badminton. Its core goal is to simulate the flight performance and batting feel of a natural shuttlecock while improving durability and production efficiency. One current structure of a simulated badminton can be found in Chinese patent CN118718368A. This simulated badminton includes simulated feathers and a fixing kit for securing multiple simulated feathers. The fixing kit is provided with a post, and the simulated feathers are provided with a socket for inserting the post. During installation, the post is inserted into the socket, and the gap between the socket and the post is filled with glue. After the glue cures, the two are fixed.

[0003] Due to the inherent fluidity of the glue and possible minor deviations during operation, it is possible that the glue filling is insufficient. Once this problem occurs, the connection stability between the socket and the post will be seriously affected, and the simulated feathers will easily loosen or even fall off during use, thus affecting the overall performance and lifespan of the simulated badminton.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Compared with the prior art method of using glue to fill the gap between the socket and the post to achieve fixation, the simulated feather in this application is connected to the fixing kit by a snap-fit connection, which does not rely on the filling effect of glue, avoids the problem of unstable connection caused by insufficient filling due to glue fluidity and operational deviation, and can significantly enhance the connection strength between the simulated feather and the fixing kit, effectively preventing the simulated feather from loosening or even falling off during use, thereby ensuring the overall performance and service life of the simulated badminton.

[0023] 2. The existing technology uses glue to fix the simulated feathers and the fixing kit, which has high requirements for the amount of glue used, the application location, and the uniformity, and the processing is relatively complicated.

[0038] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0041] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0042] refer to Figure 1-5One embodiment of the present invention illustrates a fixing structure for a simulated badminton shuttlecock, including a simulated feather 200 and a fixing kit 100. The fixing kit 100 includes at least one annular sleeve 1. In this embodiment, two annular sleeves 1 are provided to simulate the appearance and structure of a traditional natural shuttlecock. The annular sleeve 1 is provided with a plurality of pins 2 spaced apart along the circumference of the annular sleeve 1. The simulated feather 200 is provided with a socket 210 for inserting the pins 2. The simulated feather 200 is connected to the fixing kit 100 by a snap-fit connection. The simulated feather 200 and the fixing kit 100 can also be further fixedly connected by laser welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0043] Specifically, the pin 2 on the fixing kit 100 is inserted into the socket 210 on the artificial feather 200 to secure multiple artificial feathers 200. Once the pin 2 is inserted into the socket 210, the artificial feather 200 and the fixing kit 100 are snap-fitted together. In this embodiment, an overflow port 220 is provided through the socket 210. When glue or other adhesive is used to connect the artificial feather 200 to the fixing kit 100, air bubbles and excess glue within the socket 210 can be discharged through the overflow port 220, preventing glue from accumulating and forming gaps or bubbles within the socket 210. This ensures a tighter and more stable connection between the artificial feather 200 and the fixing kit 100. Alternatively, if the socket 210 is a blind hole structure, i.e., without the overflow port 220, an overflow groove (not shown) can be provided on the outer wall of the pin 2 to allow air bubbles and excess glue within the socket 210 to be discharged through the opening of the socket 210. Similarly, when the socket 210 is a blind hole structure, that is, the overflow port 220 is not provided, an overflow groove (not shown) can be provided on the inner wall of the socket 210 to discharge bubbles and excess glue from the opening of the socket 210.

[0044] Among them, compared with the existing technology of using glue to fill the gap between the socket and the post to achieve fixation, the simulated feather in this application is connected to the fixing kit by a snap-on connection, which does not need to rely on the filling effect of glue, avoids the problem of unstable connection caused by insufficient filling due to glue fluidity and operational deviation, and can significantly enhance the connection strength between the simulated feather and the fixing kit, effectively preventing the simulated feather from loosening or even falling off during use, thereby ensuring the overall performance and service life of the simulated badminton.

[0045] Furthermore, the existing technology uses glue to secure the simulated feathers and the fixing kit, which places high demands on the amount of glue used, the application location, and the uniformity of the glue, making the manufacturing process relatively complicated. However, the present application uses a snap-fit connection, which eliminates the need for tedious glue application and curing processes. This greatly simplifies the production process, reduces the operator skill requirements, improves production efficiency, and facilitates large-scale industrial production.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the side wall of the insertion hole 210 is provided with an opening, and a block 230 is provided at the position of the opening. One end of the block 230 is fixed to the artificial feather 200, and the other side edges of the block 230 are spaced apart from the edge of the opening; a groove 21 is formed on the outer side of the insertion column 2, so that a buckle portion 22 is formed at the end of the insertion column 2, and the buckle portion 22 forms a buckle fit with the block 230.

[0047] In this embodiment, a snap connection is formed between the post and the socket, so that after the post is inserted into the socket, the snap connection is completed simultaneously, which can prevent the post from falling out of the socket. The clamping block generates radial and axial pressure on the post, which can prevent the post from loosening in the socket, making the connection between the simulated feather and the fixing kit extremely stable and can effectively resist the impact of a badminton racket.

[0048] Regarding the snap connection between the artificial feather and the fixing kit, there may be other implementations;

[0049] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a protrusion 23 is provided on the outer wall of the plug post, and the protrusion 23 is used to form a snap fit with the inner wall of the socket of the artificial feather.

[0050] Among them, a card slot (not marked in the figure) corresponding to the protrusion 23 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 210 of the artificial feather 200. When the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 210, the protrusion 23 is snapped into the card slot to achieve a snap fit;

[0051] As an improvement to the above embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, a first spring piece 201 is formed on the inner wall of the socket 210, the fixed end of the first spring piece 201 is located at the opening of the socket 210, and the free end extends toward the inside of the socket 210. When the column 2 is inserted into the socket 210, the first spring piece 201 abuts against the outer wall of the column 2, making the snap fit between the column 2 and the socket 210 more secure and not loose.

[0052] As a partial replacement solution for the above-mentioned embodiment improvement solution, combined with Figure 9 As shown, a second elastic piece 24 is formed on the outer wall of the plug post 2, the fixed end of the second elastic piece 24 is located on the side of the annular sleeve 1, and the free end is formed with the protrusion 23. When the plug post 2 is inserted into the socket 210, the second elastic piece 24 abuts against the inner wall of the socket 210, and the protrusion 23 is located in the slot, so that the snap fit between the plug post 2 and the socket 210 is more secure and not loose.

[0053] As a partial replacement solution for the above-mentioned embodiment improvement solution, combined with Figure 10 As shown, a blind hole may be formed in the middle of the free end of the plug post 2, a plurality of second elastic sheets 24 spaced apart are formed on the outer wall, and a protrusion 23 is formed on the second elastic sheet 24, so that the snap-fit structure is simpler.

[0054] It should be noted that other structures related to snap fit between columns and holes in the prior art may also be adopted, which are not exhaustively listed here.

[0055] In addition, the snap-fit connection between the artificial feather and the fixing kit may not be limited to the snap-fit between the pin and the socket;

[0056] For example, in another embodiment, Figure 11 As shown, the annular sleeve 1 is provided with a clamping plate 3 for clamping the two sides of the artificial feather 200. The inner side of the clamping plate 3 is provided with an undercut block 31, which is snap-fitted to the artificial feather 200. The function of the clamping plate 3 can be referred to in the prior art CN118718368A. In this embodiment, by adding the undercut block 31 to the clamping plate 3, the clamping plate 3 and the artificial feather 200 are snap-fitted together, maintaining the connection between the fixing kit 100 and the artificial feather 200 before the glue is cured, and preventing loosening during the glue curing process.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0058] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
