[0021] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0022] A badminton shuttlecock collecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame assembly 100; a walking assembly 200 connected to the frame assembly 100; a plurality of shuttlecock suction assemblies 300, each having a first shuttlecock inlet 311 and a first shuttlecock outlet 312, the shuttlecock suction assemblies 300 being connected to the frame assembly 100; and a vibration assembly 400, each having a plurality of second shuttlecock inlets 412 and a plurality of second shuttlecock outlets 413, adjacent second shuttlecock inlets 412 being interconnected to form a directional adjustment end 411, the first shuttlecock outlet 312 being... Above the directional end 411, the vibration component 400 is connected to the frame component 100; the rotation component 500 is used to drive the shuttlecock to move in the rotation direction of the rotation component 500; the rotation component 500 is located below the second shuttlecock outlet 413 and is rotatably connected to the frame component 100; the collection component 600 is provided with a plurality of collection slots 637 for collecting shuttlecocks, the collection slots 637 are located below the rotation component 500, and the positions of the collection slots 637 and the second shuttlecock outlet 413 correspond to each other.

[0023] For example, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the walking component 200 can be powered by mechanical force to make the frame component 100 walk automatically, or can be pushed by human force to walk, thereby picking up badminton shuttlecocks on the ground under the action of the shuttlecock suction component 300. The badminton shuttlecock is sucked into the shuttlecock suction component 300 from the first inlet 311 and falls into the adjusting end 411 of the vibration component 400 from the first outlet 312. The adjusting end 411 has an adjusting function for the badminton shuttlecock. Specifically, when the edge of the feathers of the badminton shuttlecock comes into contact with the adjusting end 411, the shuttlecock is adjusted. End 411 exerts a certain force on the edge of the feathers. Since the rubber end of the shuttlecock is heavier, the rubber end of the shuttlecock is made to point downwards under the action of the adjusting end 411. At the same time, since the vibration component 400 itself has a certain vibration function, when the shuttlecock falls into the vibration component 400 from the second ball inlet 412, the vibration of the vibration component 400 will continue to adjust the direction of the shuttlecock, so that the shuttlecock slides out from the second ball outlet 413 with the rubber end pointing downwards and the feather end pointing upwards.

[0024] After the shuttlecock slides out of the second outlet 413, it falls onto the rotating component 500. Since the rotating component 500 is constantly rotating, the rotational force pushes the rubber end of the shuttlecock in the direction of rotation, causing the shuttlecock to slide into the collecting groove 637 at an angle or laterally. The collecting groove 637 can be set at an angle to facilitate the shuttlecock sliding from the top to the bottom of the collecting groove 637, allowing for the continuous sliding of subsequent shuttlecocks and thus improving the collection efficiency.

[0025] Since the positions of the collecting groove 637 and the second shuttlecock outlet 413 correspond to each other, the number of collecting grooves 637 and the number of second shuttlecock outlets 413 are the same, so that each collecting groove 637 corresponds to one second shuttlecock outlet 413, thereby enabling multiple collecting grooves 637 to collect badminton shuttlecocks at the same time, which greatly improves the collection efficiency.

[0026] It can be seen that, with the combined action of the walking component 200, the shuttlecock suction component 300, the vibration component 400, the rotation component 500, and the collection component 600, the shuttlecock can be automatically collected, thereby improving collection efficiency and reducing the time and energy consumption of trainees.

[0027] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the vibration assembly 400 includes a plurality of funnel frames 410, a first movable plate 420, a second movable plate 430, and a vibration unit 440. The funnel frame 410 is provided with a second ball inlet 412 and a second ball outlet 413. The first movable plate 420 is connected to the funnel frame 410 and is slidably connected to the second movable plate 430. The second movable plate 430 is connected to the frame assembly 100. The vibration unit 440 is connected to the first movable plate 420 and the second movable plate 430 respectively.

[0028] For example, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, under the action of the vibration unit 440, the first moving plate 420 and the second moving plate 430 can slide relative to each other, thereby causing the first moving plate 420 to drive the funnel frame 410 to vibrate. When the shuttlecock comes into contact with the funnel frame 410, the funnel frame 410 exerts a certain force on the shuttlecock, thereby adjusting the direction of the shuttlecock so that the rubber end of the shuttlecock is downward. Moreover, since the funnel frame 410 has a vibration effect, it can increase the number of contacts between the shuttlecock and the funnel frame 410, thereby ensuring that the shuttlecock slides out of the second outlet 413 with the rubber end downward.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the vibration unit 440 includes a first electromagnet 441, a second electromagnet 442 and a first spring 443. The first electromagnet 441 is connected to the first moving plate 420, the second electromagnet 442 is connected to the second moving plate 430, and the first spring 443 is connected to the first moving plate 420 and the second moving plate 430 respectively.

[0030] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the first electromagnet 441 and the second electromagnet 442 are energized, they attract each other under the action of magnetic force, causing the first moving plate 420 to move downward against the elastic force of the first spring 443. When the first electromagnet 441 and the second electromagnet 442 are de-energized, the magnetic force between them disappears, so the first moving plate 420 moves upward under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 443. By continuously energizing and de-energizing the first electromagnet 441 and the second electromagnet 442, the first moving plate 420 and the second moving plate 430 continuously slide relative to each other, thereby causing the funnel frame 410 to vibrate.

[0031] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the rotating assembly 500 includes a first motor 510, a first rotating shaft 520 and a plurality of soft pads 530. The soft pads 530 are located below the second ball outlet 413 and above one end of the collecting groove 637. The first motor 510 is connected to the frame assembly 100 and the first rotating shaft 520 respectively. The first rotating shaft 520 is rotatably connected to the frame assembly 100 and connected to the soft pads 530.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first motor 510 is used to drive the first rotating shaft 520 to rotate. The collection groove 637 is located on the side where the first rotating shaft 520 rotates from top to bottom. Since the soft pad 530 is located above one end of the collection groove 637, the collection groove 637 extends from below the soft pad 530 to one side of the soft pad 530.

[0033] When the shuttlecock slides out of the second outlet 413 and lands on the soft pad 530, the rotation of the soft pad 530 pushes the rubber end of the shuttlecock to one side of the soft pad 530, causing the shuttlecock to slide into the collection trough 637 at an angle or laterally. When several shuttlecocks have piled up from the end of the collection trough 637 away from the soft pad 530 to the end closer to the soft pad 530, it indicates that the collection trough 637 is full. At this time, the user can remove the shuttlecocks from the collection trough 637 for the next collection.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the collecting assembly 600 includes a first electric cylinder 610, a first rack 620, a plurality of collecting units 630, and a collecting box 640. Each collecting unit 630 includes a first gear 631, a second rotating shaft 632, a first collecting plate 633, a second collecting plate 634, a first connecting rod 635, and a second connecting rod 636. The first electric cylinder 610 is connected to the frame assembly 100 and the first rack 620, respectively. The first rack 620 is meshed with the first gear 631, and the second rotating shaft 632 is connected to the first gear 631. The second rotating shaft 632 is rotatably connected to the frame assembly 100, the first collecting plate 633 and the second collecting plate 634. The first connecting rod 635 is hinged to the second rotating shaft 632 and the first collecting plate 633 respectively. The second connecting rod 636 is hinged to the second rotating shaft 632 and the second collecting plate 634 respectively. A collecting groove 637 is formed between the first collecting plate 633 of the collecting unit 630 and the second collecting plate 634 of the adjacent collecting unit 630. The collecting box 640 is located below the collecting groove 637 and is connected to the frame assembly 100.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the first electric cylinder 610 can drive the first rack 620 to move, causing the first rack 620 to drive the first gear 631 to rotate. The first gear 631 can drive the second rotating shaft 632 to rotate, causing the first connecting rod 635 and the second connecting rod 636 to change position due to the rotation of the second rotating shaft 632. This, in turn, causes the first connecting rod 635 and the second connecting rod 636 to drive the first collecting plate 633 and the second collecting plate 634 to open or close. When the first collecting plate 633 and the second collecting plate 634 are open, the badminton shuttlecocks stacked in the collecting trough 637 can fall into the collecting box 640. When the first collecting plate 633 and the second collecting plate 634 are closed, the collecting trough 637 can collect the badminton shuttlecocks again, thus enabling continuous collection of badminton shuttlecocks and greatly improving collection efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, a positioning component 650 can be provided, which includes a positioning element and a second spring. The frame assembly 100 has a collection area for placing the collection box 640. The collection area has a channel for the collection box 640 to move in or out of the collection area. The channel has a mounting groove. The second spring is connected to the mounting groove and the positioning element respectively. The positioning element is slidably connected to the mounting groove and abuts against the collection box 640. Specifically, when the collection box 640 is pushed into the collection area from outside the channel, the collection box 640 will press the positioning element in the channel into the mounting groove. When the collection box 640 is fully inside the collection area, since the positioning element is not blocked by the collection box 640, it pops out from the mounting groove into the channel under the action of the second spring, thereby abutting against the collection box 640 and preventing the collection box 640 from moving, so that the shuttlecock can fall accurately into the collection box 640.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a drive assembly 700 is also included, which includes a second electric cylinder 710 and a first drive plate 720. The first drive plate 720 is located below the rotating assembly 500, and the second electric cylinder 710 is connected to the first drive plate 720 and the frame assembly 100 respectively, so that the first drive plate 720 pushes the shuttlecock to move on the collecting groove 637.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, when a shuttlecock falls into the collection trough 637, it may remain on the side of the collection trough 637 closest to the rotating component 500 due to friction, thus preventing other shuttlecocks from sliding into the outer part of the collection trough 637 and reducing the amount of shuttlecocks collected. Therefore, by setting the drive component 700, the second electric cylinder 710 can drive the first drive plate 720 to extend, thereby pushing the shuttlecocks in the collection trough 637 to move, causing the shuttlecocks to stack up one by one and continuously move to the outer part of the collection trough 637 to fill all the space in the collection trough 637, thus realizing the effective utilization of the collection space of the collection trough 637 and greatly improving the collection efficiency of the shuttlecocks.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the walking assembly 200 includes a walking unit 210 for driving the frame assembly 100 to move and a steering unit 220 for driving the frame assembly 100 to turn. The walking unit 210 includes a second motor 2111, a first bevel gear 2112, a second bevel gear 2113, a third rotating shaft 2114, a second gear 2115, a third gear 2116, a wheel 2117, a fourth rotating shaft 2118, a first fixing member 2119, a bearing 2120, and a fourth gear 2121. The steering unit 220 includes a third motor 221 and a fifth gear 222. The frame assembly 100 is connected to the second motor 2111 and the third motor 221 respectively. The second motor 2111 is connected to the first bevel gear 2112. Gear 2112 is connected, the first bevel gear 2112 meshes with the second bevel gear 2113, the third rotating shaft 2114 is connected to the second bevel gear 2113 and the second gear 2115 respectively, the first fixing member 2119 is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft 2114 and the fourth rotating shaft 2118 respectively, the second gear 2115 meshes with the third gear 2116, the fourth rotating shaft 2118 is connected to the third gear 2116 and the wheel 2117 respectively, the bearing 2120 is connected to the first fixing member 2119 and the frame assembly 100 respectively, the third motor 221 is connected to the fifth gear 222, the fourth gear 2121 meshes with the fifth gear 222, and the fourth gear 2121 is connected to the first fixing member 2119.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the frame assembly 100 needs to move, the second motor 2111 drives the first bevel gear 2112 to rotate, the first bevel gear 2112 drives the second bevel gear 2113 to rotate, the second bevel gear 2113 drives the third rotating shaft 2114 to rotate, the third rotating shaft 2114 drives the second gear 2115 to rotate, the second gear 2115 drives the third gear 2116 to rotate, the third gear 2116 drives the fourth rotating shaft 2118 to rotate, and the fourth rotating shaft 2118 drives the wheel 2117 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the frame assembly 100.

[0041] When the frame assembly 100 needs to turn, the second motor 2111 drives the fifth gear 222 to rotate, the fifth gear 222 drives the fourth gear 2121 to rotate, and the fourth gear 2121 drives the first fixing member 2119 to rotate. Since the first fixing member 2119 is connected to the frame assembly 100 through the bearing 2120, the first fixing member 2119 can rotate independently relative to the frame assembly 100. Moreover, since the first fixing member 2119 can drive the second bevel gear 2113, the third rotating shaft 2114, the second gear 2115, the third gear 2116, the wheel 2117, and the fourth rotating shaft 2118 to rotate, the running direction of the wheel 2117 changes, thereby realizing the turning of the frame assembly 100.

[0042] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ball suction assembly 300 includes a ball suction pipe 310, a connector 320, a fourth motor 330, a sixth gear 340, a seventh gear 350, and a fan 360 for generating negative pressure. The ball suction pipe 310 is connected to the frame assembly 100, the connector 320, and the fan 360. The fourth motor 330 is connected to the connector 320 and the sixth gear 340. The sixth gear 340 is meshed with the seventh gear 350. The seventh gear 350 is connected to the fan 360. The fan 360 is located at the position of the first ball outlet 312.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fourth motor 330 can drive the sixth gear 340 to rotate, the sixth gear 340 drives the seventh gear 350 to rotate, and the seventh gear 350 drives the fan blades of the fan 360 to rotate, thereby generating negative pressure in the suction tube 310, which facilitates the suction of badminton shuttlecocks on the ground. Under the action of negative pressure, the shuttlecocks can be sucked in from the first inlet 311, and after passing through the suction tube 310, they fall into the vibration assembly 400 from the first outlet 312.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a gathering assembly 800 is also included. The gathering assembly 800 includes a ball brush unit 810, a rotating unit 820 for driving the ball brush unit 810 to push the shuttlecock towards the ball suction assembly 300, and a lifting unit 830 for driving the ball brush unit 810 to rise and fall. The ball brush unit 810 includes a sweeping brush 811, a fifth motor 812, a fixing frame 813, a fifth rotating shaft 814, an eighth gear 815, and a first connecting plate 816. The rotating unit 820 includes a sixth motor 821, a sixth rotating shaft 822, a ninth gear 823, a second connecting plate 824, and a second drive plate 825. The second drive plate 825 is provided with a second rack 8251 and a third rack 8252. The second connecting plate 824 is provided with a first limiting groove 8241 for limiting the range of motion of the second rack 8251 and a second limiting groove for limiting the range of motion of the second drive plate 825. The fifth motor 812 is connected to the ball-sweeping brush 811 and the fixed frame 813 respectively. The fifth rotating shaft 814 is connected to the fixed frame 813, the eighth gear 815 and the first connecting plate 816 respectively. The fifth rotating shaft 814 is rotatably connected to the first connecting plate 816. The sixth motor 821 is connected to the second connecting plate 824 and the sixth rotating shaft 822 respectively. The sixth rotating shaft 822 is connected to the ninth gear 823. The sixth rotating shaft 822 is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 824. The ninth gear 823 is meshed with the second rack 8251. The second rack 8251 is slidably connected to the first limiting groove 8241. The second drive plate 825 is slidably connected to the second limiting groove 8242. The third rack 8252 is meshed with the eighth gear 815. The frame assembly 100 is connected to the first connecting plate 816 and the lifting unit 830 respectively. The lifting unit 830 is connected to the second connecting plate 824.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 9-12 As shown, the number of ball brush units 810 is set to two, and the ball suction assembly 300 is located in the middle of the two ball brush units 810. Therefore, when the fifth motor 812 drives the ball sweeping brush 811 to rotate, the rotation direction of the ball sweeping brush 811 is from the outside to the inside, so that the badminton shuttlecocks on the outside can be moved to the inside under the action of the ball sweeping brush 811, which makes it easier for the ball suction assembly 300 to pick up the badminton shuttlecocks, which is beneficial to improving the collection speed and efficiency of badminton shuttlecocks.

[0046] The sixth motor 821 drives the sixth rotating shaft 822 to rotate, the sixth rotating shaft 822 drives the ninth gear 823 to rotate, the ninth gear 823 drives the second rack 8251 to slide in the first limiting groove 8241, thereby causing the second drive plate 825 to move. The third rack 8252 on the second drive plate 825 can drive the eighth gear 815 to rotate, the eighth gear 815 drives the fifth rotating shaft 814 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed frame 813 to move in an arc over a large area, thus increasing the movement range of the ball sweeping brush 811, and causing more shuttlecocks to be pushed towards the ball suction assembly 300 under the action of the ball sweeping brush 811. The first limiting groove 8241 can limit the range of motion of the second rack 8251 and prevent the position of the second rack 8251 from shifting, thereby improving the meshing effect between the ninth gear 823 and the second rack 8251; the second limiting groove 8242 can provide a certain support force for the second drive plate 825, and at the same time limit the range of motion of the second drive plate 825, thereby preventing the sliding position of the second drive plate 825 from shifting.

[0047] When the mounting bracket 813 rotates from the outside to the inside, the lifting unit 830 drives the second connecting plate 824 to rise, which in turn drives the ball brush unit 810 to rise. Then, the sixth motor 821 drives the sixth rotating shaft 822 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the mounting bracket 813 to rotate from the inside to the outside. Next, the lifting unit 830 drives the second connecting plate 824 to fall, which in turn drives the ball brush unit 810 to fall, thus allowing the mounting bracket 813 to return to its original position. It is evident that the ball brush 811 only gathers the shuttlecocks during the rotation of the mounting bracket 813 from the outside to the inside, while it remains suspended during the rotation of the mounting bracket 813 from the inside to the outside, thus preventing the shuttlecocks from being swept away from the ball suction assembly 300 by the ball brush 811.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lifting unit 830 includes a second fixing member 831, a seventh motor 832, a seventh rotating shaft, a third spring 833, and a cam 834; the second fixing member 831 is connected to the seventh motor 832, the third spring 833, and the frame assembly 100 respectively; the seventh rotating shaft is connected to the seventh motor 832 and the cam 834 respectively; the seventh rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second fixing member 831; the third spring 833 is connected to the second connecting plate 824; and the cam 834 abuts against the second connecting plate 824.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 13As shown, the seventh motor 832 can drive the seventh rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 834 to rotate. When the protruding part of the cam 834 rotates to contact the second connecting plate 824, the second connecting plate 824 is raised. The seventh motor 832 can drive the seventh rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the cam 834 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the protruding part of the cam 834 will gradually move away from the second connecting plate 824, causing the height of the second connecting plate 824 to gradually decrease. When the protruding part of the cam 834 moves away from the second connecting plate 824, the third spring 833 provides a buffering force for the second connecting plate 824, allowing the second connecting plate 824 to slowly descend to the position where it abuts against the frame assembly 100 under the action of gravity and elasticity, thus achieving the reset of the second connecting plate 824. The number of lifting components can be set to several, which helps to improve the supporting force on the second connecting plate 824.
