Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tennis machine production, in particular to a testing tool for producing injection-molded parts of tennis machines. Background Art

[0002] Most of the parts in a tennis machine are injection molded parts. Among them, the injection molded part of the tennis machine's ball outlet housing is a critical part that directly affects the quality of the ball output of the tennis machine. Therefore, the ball outlet housing needs to be tested. Existing injection molded part housing testing mainly tests the housing's strength and shape. However, for a functional part like the ball outlet housing, the ball outlet passability test is very important. If the ball outlet cannot pass the tennis ball smoothly, it will directly affect the normal operation of the tennis machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a test tool for the production of tennis machine injection molded parts to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A test fixture for producing injection-molded parts for tennis machines comprises a base and a test device mounted on the base. The test device comprises two ball-extruding wheels and multiple fixed rods. The two ball-extruding wheels are arranged one above the other and are both rotatably mounted above the base.

[0014] like Figure 1-3 The test fixture shown is for producing injection-molded parts for tennis machines, comprising a base 1 and a test device mounted on the base 1. The test device comprises two ball-extruding wheels 8 and a plurality of fixed rods 3. The two ball-extruding wheels 8 are arranged one above the other and are both rotatably mounted above the base 1. A plurality of fixed rods 3 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one end of the base 1. A guide tube 2 is fixedly mounted above the tabletop of the base 1, and the guide tube 2 is mounted on the side of the ball-extruding wheel 8 away from the fixed rod 3. The outer wall of the fixed rod 3 is frosted, and the end of the fixed rod 3 is connected to the outer wall of the end of the base 1 by a thread. Two support blocks 4 are fixedly mounted above the end of the base 1 where the fixed rod 3 is mounted, and the support blocks 4 remain perpendicular to the tabletop of the base 1.

[0015] The guide tube 2 is an L-shaped bend, with a gap between the two ball-extruding wheels 8. The bottom outlet of the guide tube 2 is aligned with the gap between the two ball-extruding wheels 8, and the linear distance between the outer walls of the two ball-extruding wheels 8 is less than the diameter of the guide tube 2. The outer walls of the ball-extruding wheels 8 are provided with a circle of arc-shaped grooves. A guide ring 6 is provided on the side of the ball-extruding wheels 8 facing away from the guide tube 2. The outer wall of the guide ring 6 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, with the installation direction of the guide ring 6's opening corresponding to the bottom outlet of the guide tube 2.

[0016] The outer walls of both sides of the ball squeezing wheel 8 are equipped with fixed plates 5 through bearings, and a motor 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the fixed plates 5. The fixed plate 5 is fixedly installed on the table top of the base 1. The fixed plate 5 is arranged perpendicular to the table top of the base 1. The two ball squeezing wheels 8 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the fixed plate 5, and the ball squeezing wheels 8 are driven by the motor 7.

[0017] Embodiment: Place the injection-molded plastic parts at the end of the base 1. A plurality of mounting holes are provided at the bottom of the ball outlet shell of the tennis machine. Under normal circumstances, the number and position of the mounting holes correspond to the fixing rod 3. The ball outlet of the ball outlet shell corresponds to the opening of the guide ring 6. The ball outlet shell is sleeved onto the fixing rod 3 through the bottom mounting hole. The frosted layer on the outer wall of the fixing rod 3 can play the role of polishing the inner wall of the mounting hole. The support block 4 is engaged in the upper space of the ball outlet shell to play the role of fixing and supporting. In this way, the ball outlet shell is initially fixed. Then the operator starts the two motors 7 on the outer wall of the fixing plate 5. The two motors 7 respectively drive their corresponding ball squeezing wheels 8 to rotate. The two ball squeezing wheels 8 rotate in opposite directions. The operator puts the experimental tennis ball into the top of the guide tube 2 so that the tennis ball is inside the guide tube 2. After sliding for a distance, the tennis ball flies out from the bottom outlet of the guide tube 2 due to inertia, and reaches the area between the two squeezing wheels 8. Both squeezing wheels 8 are made of plastic. The surface friction plus the driving force of the two squeezing wheels 8 clamp the tennis ball between the two squeezing wheels 8. The space between the two squeezing wheels 8 is smaller than the initial volume of the tennis ball, so the tennis ball will be squeezed. At the same time, the two squeezing wheels 8 transmit the tennis ball toward the guide ring 6. The originally squeezed tennis ball is released and flies out instantly. After passing through the guide rings 6, it reaches the ball outlet of the ball outlet shell. If the size and position of the ball outlet are correct, the tennis ball can fly out normally. If there is a problem with the size and position of the ball outlet during injection molding, the tennis ball cannot fly out normally. The operator can judge whether the shell injection molding part is compliant based on the passage of the tennis ball.

[0018] It should be noted that the parts not covered in the present invention are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented by using the existing technology; the various drives in the present invention can be implemented by using corresponding power structures such as cylinders, oil cylinders, electric cylinders, motors, etc. in combination with connecting rods, guide rods, etc., and are not limited to the description in the specification and the structure in the drawings.

[0019] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
