Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feathers, and particularly relates to an artificial feather and a badminton made thereof. Background Art
[0002] Traditional badminton mostly uses natural feathers. However, the acquisition cost of natural feathers is high, the price is easily affected by market supply and demand fluctuations, and there are problems with unstable supply. Therefore, there is a demand in the market for badminton with low cost and stable supply.
[0003] Natural feathers are prone to damage, such as breaking and deformation, after long-term use or frequent hitting, which affects the service life of badminton. Consumers have a high demand for badminton with stronger durability and longer service life.
[0004] There are differences in shape, size and weight among natural feathers, which will affect the flight stability of badminton and the fairness of the game. The market demands artificial badminton with uniform shape, size and weight to ensure the fairness and consistency of the game.
[0005] In summary, traditional badminton has significant problems in cost control, durability and consistency. These problems not only affect the market competitiveness of badminton and the user experience of consumers, but also limit the popularization and development of badminton sports. Therefore, the development of artificial badminton with low cost, high durability and high consistency has become an urgent demand in the market. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: An artificial feather includes a vane and a shaft. The vane and the shaft are integrally provided, and the shaft is provided with a groove.
[0007] Further, the groove is opened on the side of the shaft away from the vane.
[0008] Further, a reinforcing inclined surface is provided at the bottom of the groove.
[0009] Further, the width of the shaft gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft.
[0010] Further, the opening width of the groove gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft.
[0011] Further, the depth of the groove gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft.
[0012] Further, the maximum depth α of the groove is 0.5 - 1.5 mm.
[0013] Further, the maximum depth α of the groove is 0.8 - 1.2 mm.
[0014] Further, the maximum opening width β of the groove is 1-2 mm.
[0015] Further, the maximum opening width β of the groove is 1.3-1.7 mm.
[0016] Further, the quill is curved.
[0017] An artificial badminton is composed of a ball head and artificial feathers.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By adopting an injection molding process to manufacture artificial feathers, large-scale production is realized, the unit cost is effectively reduced, and the problems of high cost, volatile price, and unstable supply of natural feathers are solved, thereby stabilizing the price of the badminton market and improving the market competitiveness. At the same time, the design of the groove structure significantly enhances the bending and torsion resistance of the quill, reduces the risk of fracture, and extends the service life of the feathers. The uniform shape, size, and weight of each artificial feather solve the problem of differences between natural feathers, improve the flight stability of the badminton, and the fairness of the competition. The curved quill design increases the aesthetics and authenticity, and improves the user experience of consumers. Description of the Drawings

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: An artificial feather includes a vane 1 and a shaft 2. The vane 1 and the shaft 2 are integrally provided. A groove 3 is formed in the shaft 2; the groove 3 is formed on the side of the shaft 2 away from the vane 1; texture grooves 3 are provided on the surface of the vane 1.
[0030] In the above structure, the artificial feather is manufactured by an advanced injection molding process, ensuring that each feather has a unified shape and size. This not only improves the stability of product quality but also enables large-scale production, effectively reducing the unit cost and perfectly meeting the manufacturing requirements of badminton. The groove 3 structure forms a stress dispersion area. When the shaft 2 is subjected to an external force, the groove 3 can guide the stress flow, effectively avoiding local stress concentration, thereby significantly reducing the risk of fracture and significantly enhancing the toughness of the shaft 2. In addition, the groove 3 also acts as a "deformation buffer zone" for the shaft 2, enabling the shaft 2 to deform more easily without breaking under external forces such as bending or twisting, enhancing its resistance to bending and twisting.
[0031] In this embodiment, a reinforcing inclined surface 4 is provided at the bottom of the groove 3.
[0032] With the above structure, the reinforcing inclined surface 4 can increase the structural strength of the bottom of the groove 3, prevent fracture or deformation caused by stress concentration during use, and further improve the durability and reliability of the artificial feather.
[0033] In this embodiment, the width of the shaft 2 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, the opening width of the groove 3 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, the depth of the groove 3 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the length direction of the shaft 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the maximum depth α of the groove 3 is 0.5 - 1.5 mm, and the minimum depth of the groove 3 is 0.5 mm.
[0037] In this embodiment, the maximum depth α of the groove 3 is 0.8 - 1.2 mm.
[0038] Preferably in this embodiment, the maximum depth α of the groove 3 is 1 mm. The above setting is not limiting, and the maximum depth α can also be 1.1 mm or 0.9 mm.
[0039] In this embodiment, the maximum opening width β of the groove 3 is 1 - 2 mm, and the minimum opening width of the groove 3 is 0.5 mm.
[0040] In this embodiment, the maximum opening width β of the groove 3 is 1.3 - 1.7 mm.
[0041] Preferably in this embodiment, the maximum opening width β of the groove 3 is 1.5 mm. The above setting is not limiting, and the maximum opening width β of the groove 3 is 1.4 mm or 1.6 mm.
[0042] In this embodiment, when the maximum opening width β of the groove 3 is 1.5 mm and the maximum depth α of the groove 3 is 1 mm, the artificial feather can reach the highest value of toughness.
[0043] In this embodiment, the quill 2 is curved.
[0044] With the above structure, the curved quill 2 makes the artificial feather closer to the natural feather in shape, increasing the aesthetics and realism.
[0045] An artificial badminton is composed of a ball head and artificial feathers.
[0046] For the badminton using this artificial feather, the feathers are not easily broken or deformed during high-speed hitting and frequent use. On the premise of ensuring the quality of the badminton, the price is cheaper than that of the badminton using real feathers.
[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
