Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sports, in particular to an ice scraper for curling. Background Art

[0002] Curling is a team competitive sport on ice. The surface of the ice track is not smooth and is covered with many small ice particles. The sliding trajectory of the curling stone after being thrown can be affected by the athlete's ice wiping. Ice wiping refers to the process of using an ice wiper to wipe the ice surface in front of the curling stone's sliding path back and forth. It is mainly used to clean ice chips on the ice surface to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the ice surface to provide better sliding conditions.

[0003] Existing curling ice scrapers usually consist of a long handle and a scraper. The ice scraper on the scraper generates heat through friction with the ice surface to melt small ice particles, thereby reducing the friction between the curling stone and the ice surface, allowing the curling stone to slide farther, and also changing the sliding direction of the curling stone, so that the curling stone can land at the target position more accurately. However, the existing device requires the athlete to continuously drive the ice scraper to perform reciprocating motion at high speed to rub the ice surface, which is relatively laborious.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, an ice scraper for curling that can improve the ice scraping efficiency and is more labor-saving has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0008] In addition, it is particularly preferred that a locking mechanism is also included, the locking mechanism includes a fixed column, a locking block and a torque piece, the upper sides of the left and right parts of the mounting shell are connected to the fixed columns, the locking blocks are rotatably connected to the fixed columns, and the locking blocks are connected to the adjacent fixed columns with a torque piece, the locking blocks rotate on the fixed columns, the torque piece is deformed by the force, and then the flip frame is fitted with the upper side of the mounting shell, and the locking block is driven to rotate and reset under the action of the torque piece, thereby being clamped with the flip frame, and then the flip frame can be locked and limited.

[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the lower portion of the ice-wiping brush is an arc-shaped structure.

[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that a handle is provided on the upper portion of the handlebar.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the torsion element is a torsion spring.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model: 1. The utility model drives the screw rod to rotate by rotating the motor output shaft, and the rotation of the screw rod drives the ice-wiping brush to reciprocate through the reciprocating block, which can improve the ice-wiping efficiency and save labor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0020] An ice scraper for curling, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting shell 1, an ice skateboard 2, a motor 3, a screw 4, a reciprocating block 5, an ice-wiping brush 6, a spring 7 and an adjusting mechanism 8. The ice skateboard 2 is connected to the front and rear sides of the mounting shell 1, the motor 3 is connected to the rear part of the mounting shell 1, the screw 4 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 3, the screw 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 1, the reciprocating block 5 is threadedly connected to the screw 4, the ice-wiping brush 6 is slidably connected to the reciprocating block 5, the left and right parts of the ice-wiping brush 6 are connected to the reciprocating block 5 with a spring 7, the lower part of the ice-wiping brush 6 is an arc structure, which is convenient for the ice-wiping brush 6 to slide on the ice surface, and the mounting shell 1 is provided with an adjusting mechanism 8.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 8 includes a flip frame 80, a rotating ring 81 and a hand-held rod 82. The flip frame 80 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 1, the flip frame 80 is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 81, the rotating ring 81 is rotatably connected to the hand-held rod 82, and a handle is provided on the upper part of the hand-held rod 82 to facilitate the athlete to hold the hand-held rod 82.

[0022] When the utility model is in use, the utility model is first placed on the ice surface, and then the flip frame 80 is rotated on the mounting shell 1, the rotating ring 81 is rotated on the flip frame 80, and the hand-held rod 82 is rotated on the rotating ring 81, so that the position and angle of the hand-held rod 82 can be adjusted according to the ice-wiping direction, which is convenient for athletes to use. After the adjustment work is completed, the motor 3 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 3 rotates to drive the screw rod 4 to rotate. The screw rod 4 rotates and drives the reciprocating block 5 to reciprocate through the thread. The reciprocating block 5 moves and drives the ice-wiping brush 6 to reciprocate on the ice surface, thereby improving the ice-wiping efficiency. The athlete holds the hand-held rod 82 at the same time, and drives the ice-wiping brush 6 to slide on the ice surface through the ice skateboard 2. Under the action of the spring 7, the ice-wiping brush 6 is in closer contact with the ice surface, and the heat generated by the friction between the ice-wiping brush 6 and the ice surface causes the small ice particles to melt, thereby reducing the friction between the curling stone and the ice surface, so that the curling stone slides a longer distance, and can also change the sliding direction of the curling stone, so that the curling stone is more accurately positioned at the target position. After use, the motor 3 can be turned off.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a locking mechanism 9 is also included, which includes a fixed column 90, a locking block 91 and a torsion spring 92. The upper sides of the left and right parts of the mounting shell 1 are connected to the fixed columns 90, and the locking blocks 91 are rotatably connected to the fixed columns 90. The locking blocks 91 are connected to the adjacent fixed columns 90 with torsion springs 92.

[0024] By using the locking mechanism 9 of the present invention, the flip frame 80 can be locked and limited. The locking block 91 rotates on the fixing column 90, and the torsion spring 92 is deformed by the force, and then the flip frame 80 is fitted with the upper side of the mounting shell 1. Under the action of the torsion spring 92, the locking block 91 is driven to rotate and reset, thereby being clamped with the flip frame 80, and then the flip frame 80 can be locked and limited.

In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
