A slide plate 12 that blocks the strip groove 8 is slidably installed between the two guide rails 11. A ball receiving seat 13 inclined to the left is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the slide plate 12; A sunk groove 28 located on the left side of the ball receiving seat 13 is opened on the top surface of the slide plate 12.

[0036] A lifting plate 14 is slidably sleeved on the two guide posts 10. A bent plate 15 is fixedly arranged on the left end surface of the lifting plate 14. The bent section 16 of the bent plate 15 sequentially penetrates downward through the slide plate 12 and the strip groove 8. The bent section 16 of the bent plate 15 is located on the right side of the ball receiving seat 13 and is slidably matched with the slide plate 12; A second servo 17 for driving the lifting plate 14 to move up and down along the guide posts 10 is fixedly arranged on the right end surface of the vertical plate 9. A short connecting rod 18 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the second servo 17. The other end of the short connecting rod 18 is hinged with a long connecting rod 19. The other end of the long connecting rod 19 is hinged to the lifting plate 14.

[0037] A ball clamping mechanism 20 for clamping the bottommost badminton in the ball storage mechanism 7 is provided on the top surface of the lifting plate 14. The ball clamping mechanism 20 includes a third servo 21 fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 14, a driving gear 22 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the lifting plate 14 via a rotating shaft, and a driven gear. Connecting rods 23 extending leftward are fixed on the top surfaces of the driving gear 22 and the driven gear. Arc-shaped claws 24 are fixed on the other ends of the two connecting rods 23. The output shaft of the third servo 21 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving gear 22.

[0038] The ball storage mechanism 7 includes an arch-shaped frame 25 fixed on the top surface of the top plate 5, a support plate fixed on the top surface of the arch-shaped frame 25.

The gap formed between the two serving wheels 31 is equal to the outer diameter of the ball head 33 of the badminton ball 32.

[0040] The serving machine further includes a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the first servo 4, the second servo 17, the third servo 21, and the serving motor 30 via signal lines.

[0041] The working process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0042] S1. Clamping of the bottommost badminton ball 32: Control the third servo 21 of the ball clamping mechanism 20 of the ball taking mechanism to start. The third servo 21 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft of the driving gear 22. The rotating shaft drives the driving gear 22 to rotate. The driving gear 22 drives the driven gear to rotate. The connecting rods on the driving gear and the connecting rods 23 on the driven gear move towards each other. The two connecting rods 23 drive the two arc-shaped claws 24 to close respectively. The two arc-shaped claws 24 move towards the direction of the bottommost badminton ball 32 in the ball storage mechanism 7. When the third servo 21 runs for the set time, the controller controls the third servo 21 to close. The lower half of the bottommost badminton ball 32 is just clamped between the two arc-shaped claws 24.

[0043] S2. Send the taken badminton ball 32 into the receiving seat 13. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0044] S21. Activate the second servo 17 of the ball picking mechanism. The second servo 17 drives the short connecting rod 18 to rotate downward. The short connecting rod 18 drives the long connecting rod 19 to move downward. The long connecting rod 19 drives the lifting plate 14 to move downward along the guiding column 10. The lifting plate 14 drives the ball clamping mechanism 20 and the bending plate 15 to move downward synchronously. The ball clamping mechanism 20 drives the clamped badminton 32 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, the bending section 16 of the bending plate 15 drives the sliding plate 12 to move rightward along the guiding rail 11. The sliding plate 12 drives the receiving seat 13 to move rightward synchronously;

[0045] When the second servo 17 runs for the set time, the controller controls the second servo 17 to turn off. At this time, the clamped badminton 32 just moves directly above the receiving seat 13;

[0046] S22. Control the third servo 21 of the ball clamping mechanism 20 to reverse. The two arc-shaped jaws 24 move in opposite directions and no longer clamp the badminton 32. At this time, the badminton 32 falls into the receiving seat 13 under its own gravity, as Figure 10 shown, and the ball head 33 of the badminton 32 falls into the sinking groove 28 of the sliding plate 12, thus realizing the feeding of the badminton 32 into the receiving seat 13;

[0047] S3. The badminton 32 in the receiving seat 13 is sent out. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0048] S31. Activate the two serving motors 30 of the serving mechanism 6. The two serving motors 30 drive the corresponding serving wheels 31 to rotate respectively;

[0049] S32. Control the second servo 17 to reverse. Driven by the second servo 17, the lifting plate 14 moves upward along the guiding column 10. The lifting plate 14 drives the ball clamping mechanism 20 and the bending plate 15 to move upward synchronously. During the upward movement of the bending plate 15, the bending section 16 of the bending plate 15 pushes the sliding plate 12 to move leftward along the guiding rail 11. The sliding plate 12 drives the receiving seat 13 and the badminton 32 falling into it to move towards the two serving wheels 31 at the same time. When the second servo 17 runs for the set time, the controller controls the second servo 17 to turn off. At this time, the ball head 33 of the badminton 32 just enters the gap formed by the two serving wheels 31, as Figure 11 shown. The gap formed between the two serving wheels 31 is equal to the outer diameter of the ball head 33 of the badminton 32. The two serving wheels 31 send the badminton 32 to the left to the athlete, thus finally realizing the automatic serving to the athlete;

[0050] S4. Repeat the operations of steps S1 to S3 in this way, and all the badminton 32 in the ball storage mechanism 7 can be served to the athlete.

[0051] Among them, as can be seen from step S22, the ball head 33 of the badminton 32 that falls into the receiving seat 13 is supported in the sinking groove 28 on the sliding plate 12, and the feathers of the badminton 32 are supported on the right side wall of the receiving seat 13. Therefore, even if the feathers of the badminton are damaged, the badminton will not fall through the receiving seat 13 to the ground, ensuring that the receiving seat 13 can catch the badminton 32, and further ensuring that the damaged badminton can be sent to the athlete subsequently. It can be seen from this that compared with the existing serving machines, this serving machine can not only use complete new badminton, but also use badminton with damaged feathers, and has the technical feature of more functions.

[0052] In addition, when the serving angle needs to be changed, the first servo motor 4 can be controlled to start. Since the output shaft of the first servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to the base 2, the servo body of the first servo motor 4 rotates on the horizontal plane relative to the stationary base 2, and the servo body drives the swing plate 3 to rotate synchronously on the water surface, thereby changing the directions of the serving mechanism 6, the ball storage mechanism 7 and the ball taking mechanism, and further changing the serving angle of the badminton, so as to meet the needs of different athletes.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
