Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of badminton testing, specifically to a badminton shuttlecock durability testing device. Background Technology

[0002] The durability of badminton shuttlecocks is one of the core indicators for measuring their quality, directly affecting the product's lifespan and user experience. Currently, the industry generally tests the durability of badminton shuttlecocks by manually swinging a badminton racket and repeatedly smashing the shuttlecock. The durability level is assessed by counting the number of hits before the shuttlecock is damaged. Therefore, a badminton shuttlecock durability testing device is needed.

[0003] Existing badminton durability testing equipment suffers from several drawbacks. First, it lacks consistency and repeatability. Significant individual differences exist in the swing force and hitting point position among different operators. Even the same operator's force application is inconsistent across different testing phases, leading to large deviations in hitting force and angle, and insufficient comparability and accuracy of test data. Second, manual, repeated swinging is labor-intensive, resulting in low testing efficiency. Prolonged testing can easily exacerbate data deviations due to operator fatigue, and the overall testing cost is high. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new badminton durability testing device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a badminton shuttlecock durability testing device to solve the following problems with existing badminton shuttlecock durability testing devices: First, the testing consistency and repeatability are poor. There are significant individual differences in the swing force and hitting point position of different operators. Even the same person's force application state is difficult to maintain uniformity at different testing stages, resulting in large deviations in hitting force and hitting angle, and insufficient comparability and accuracy of test data. Second, the labor intensity of repeated manual swinging is high, the testing efficiency is low, and long-term testing is prone to further exacerbating data deviations due to personnel fatigue, resulting in high overall testing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a badminton shuttlecock durability testing device, comprising a feeding hopper, a gripper cylinder installed on one side of the feeding hopper, an upper and lower cylinder installed on one side of the gripper cylinder, an air blowing pipe installed on one side of the upper and lower cylinder, and a limit pipe installed on one side of the air blowing pipe.

[0006] A temporary storage bin is provided above the feeding bin. A ball-clamping cylinder is installed at one end of the temporary storage bin. A lifting cylinder is installed on one side of the ball-clamping cylinder. A spreader is installed on one side of the lifting cylinder. A racket is provided below the spreader. A swing motor is installed on the outer wall of the racket.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge hopper is engaged with the gripper cylinder, and the discharge hopper is set at a 45-degree angle.

[0008] Preferably, the air blowing pipe is engaged with the limiting pipe, and the limiting pipe is configured with a "U" shape.

[0009] Preferably, the temporary storage bucket is arranged perpendicularly to the ball clamping cylinder, and the inner wall of the temporary storage bucket has a circular opening design.

[0010] Preferably, the racket is engaged with the swing motor, and the racket is set at a 45-degree angle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] 1. This invention uses a swing motor to drive the racket to complete the hitting action, ensuring high stability in hitting force, hitting point position, and swing angle. This eliminates individual differences and fatigue biases inherent in manual testing, resulting in good repeatability of test data and accurate and reliable results. The equipment can automatically complete the entire process of feeding, conveying, positioning, and hitting sequentially, eliminating the need for continuous manual racket swinging, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving testing efficiency. It employs a combination of gripper cylinders, upper and lower cylinders, and ball-clamping cylinders with the swing motor, resulting in a simple and reliable structure with low maintenance costs. It can adapt to the durability testing requirements of badminton shuttlecocks of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Please see Figure 1 A badminton shuttlecock durability testing device includes a temporary storage tank 6 above a feeding tank 1. A shuttlecock clamping cylinder 7 is installed at one end of the temporary storage tank 6, and the temporary storage tank 6 is perpendicular to the clamping cylinder 7. The inner wall of the temporary storage tank 6 has a circular opening design. A lifting cylinder 8 is installed on one side of the clamping cylinder 7, and a spreader 9 is installed on one side of the lifting cylinder 8. A racket 10 is located below the spreader 9, and a swing motor 11 is installed on the outer wall of the racket 10. The racket 10 and the swing motor 11 are engaged and connected, and the racket 10 is set at a 45-degree angle. The device utilizes the swing motor 11... The racket 10 is driven to complete the hitting action. The hitting force, hitting point, and swing angle can all be kept highly stable, eliminating individual differences and fatigue biases in manual testing. The test data has good repeatability and the results are accurate and reliable. The equipment can automatically complete the entire process of feeding, conveying, positioning, and hitting in sequence without the need for continuous manual racket operation, which greatly reduces labor intensity and improves testing efficiency. It adopts a combination of gripper cylinder 2, upper and lower cylinder 3, ball clamping cylinder 7 and racket motor 11. The structure is simple and reliable, with low maintenance cost, and can be adapted to the durability testing needs of badminton shuttlecocks of different sizes.

[0019] Working principle: During use, multiple shuttlecocks to be tested are stacked and placed into the feeding bin 1. The equipment is started, and the upper and lower cylinders 3 drive the gripper cylinder 2 to descend. The gripper cylinder 2 holds the top shuttlecock and then rises to the unloading position. The gripper cylinder 2 opens, and the shuttlecock falls into the limiting pipe 5. Airflow is introduced into the blowing pipe 4, pushing the shuttlecock along the limiting pipe 5 into the temporary storage bin 6. The lifting cylinder 8 drives the shuttlecock clamping cylinder 7 to descend. The shuttlecock clamping cylinder 7 holds the shuttlecock and then rises, then opens to release the shuttlecock to the opening device 9 for positioning. The opening device 9 opens, and the shuttlecock falls freely to the hitting position. The racket motor 11 drives the racket 10 to swing rapidly and hit the shuttlecock. The above steps are repeated to continuously hit the shuttlecock until it is damaged. The number of hits is counted to obtain the shuttlecock's durability data. This completes the use of the device.
