A column 4 is provided on the surface of the flat board 3, and a retractable driving assembly is connected between the vertical board 2 and the column 4, and the driving assembly is connected to the control mechanism through an electric wire. When in use, the control mechanism controls the extension and retraction of the driving assembly to control the state of the vertical board 2: when the driving assembly is retracted, the vertical board 2 is in a vertical state of standing up, and the starting board mechanism is in a pre-race preparation state; when the driving assembly is extended, the vertical board 2 is in a horizontal state of being put down, and the starting board mechanism completes the automatic departure, and there is no need for the staff to manually press on both sides of the starting board mechanism.
[0023] Specifically, the driving component is a cylinder 5. In other embodiments, the driving component may also be a retractable structure such as a hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic spring, an electric push rod, a winch, etc. Using the cylinder 5 as the driving component, the thrust of the cylinder 5 is increased on the basis of the deadweight of the upright 2, so that the response speed of the upright 2 when rotating is faster, and the accuracy of the starting board mechanism when automatically starting is improved. The use of pneumatic telescopic structures such as the cylinder 5 is economical and environmentally friendly, energy-saving, high-efficiency, simple to maintain, and reduces the running cost of the competition.
