[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. One embodiment discloses an automatic badminton serving device, which includes a ball delivery unit 1, which includes a first opening and a second opening; a serving unit is connected to the ball delivery unit 1; the serving unit 2 includes a shell 21 with a cavity, a goal hole is arranged at the top of the cavity of the shell 21, and at least one second opening is in communication with the goal hole. A track component 22 is also arranged inside the shell 21, the first end of the track component is located at the goal hole, and the second end of the track component is located at the position of the power component 25. A movable component 23 is movably connected to the track component 22, and a limiting component 24 is arranged at one end of the movable component 23; wherein, a groove is also opened on the side surface of the shell 21, and the power component 25 acts on the badminton.

[0024] Specifically, the shuttlecock unit is used to store and deliver shuttlecocks to the serving unit one by one. The first opening serves as the entrance for the shuttlecocks, allowing them to be placed inside the shuttlecock unit. The first opening is larger than the second opening, allowing for easy insertion. The second opening is connected to the serving unit's goal hole and is responsible for transferring the shuttlecocks from the shuttlecock unit to the serving unit. The second opening is slightly smaller than the maximum outer dimension of the shuttlecock, allowing the shuttlecock to fit into the second opening. The serving unit is responsible for receiving the shuttlecocks from the shuttlecock unit and launching them through a series of mechanical actions. The serving unit includes key components such as a housing, a track member, a movable member, and a power member. The housing is a hollow structure that houses and protects the serving unit's internal components. The top of the housing is provided with a goal-scoring opening, which communicates with the second opening of the ball delivery unit, ensuring smooth entry of the shuttlecock into the serving unit. A track member is disposed within the housing, extending from the goal-scoring opening to the position of the power member. The track member guides the shuttlecock's trajectory, ensuring it follows a predetermined path. A movable member is movably connected to the track member, and a limiting member 24 is provided at one end. In one embodiment, the movable member is driven along the track member by an electric telescopic rod. The limiting member 24 is specifically a clamp, which is used to move the shuttlecock from the first end of the track member (the goal-scoring opening) to the position of the power member. The clamp securely grips the shuttlecock and accurately releases it when moved to the power member position, ensuring stable operation. The power member provides power for launching the shuttlecock. A slot is also defined in the side surface of the housing, providing an outlet for the shuttlecock's launch. When the shuttlecock is launched by the power member, it flies out of the housing through the slot, completing the serving process.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 4. In one embodiment, the power component 25 includes two driving motors. The motor shafts of the driving motors each have a power roller 251. A gap is arranged between the two power rollers 251. The second end position of the track component is arranged corresponding to the gap between the power rollers 251.

[0026] The power assembly 25 provides the power for launching the shuttlecock, ensuring it is launched at the appropriate speed and direction. Specifically, the power assembly 25 consists of two drive motors, each with a power roller 251 mounted on its motor shaft. The power rollers provide the force required to launch the shuttlecock, controlling its launch speed by adjusting their rotational speed. A gap is provided between the two power rollers 251, and the second end of the track member corresponds to the gap between the power rollers 251. This ensures that when the shuttlecock moves along the track member to the second end, it is precisely positioned in the gap between the two power rollers. When the shuttlecock reaches the launch point, it is accurately grasped and powered by the power rollers. In practice, when the shuttlecock is delivered from the ball delivery unit to the ball-scoring opening of the serving unit and moves along the track member to the second end, the two drive motors begin operating, driving the power rollers to rotate. The shuttlecock is then sandwiched between the two power rollers. As the power rollers rotate, the shuttlecock acquires sufficient power and is launched.

[0027] Please refer to FIG. 5 . In one embodiment, the limiting member 24 includes a frame, a power unit connected to the frame, and two clamping arms rotatably connected to the frame. The power unit is configured to act on the two clamps to change the angle formed by the two clamps.

[0028] Specifically, the two clamping arms are rotatably connected to the frame and can rotate or swing under the action of the power unit. By adjusting the angle between the clamping arms, the device can adapt to badmintons of different sizes and shapes, ensuring that the badminton can be stably and firmly clamped during the launch process. At the same time, the flexible adjustment of the clamping arms also enables the device to cope with various complex serving requirements. During implementation, when it is necessary to launch a badminton, the power unit will start and act on the two clamping arms, causing the angle formed by them to gradually decrease, thereby firmly clamping the badminton. Subsequently, the movable component drives the limiting component 24 to move to the position of the power component 25. The power unit will further adjust the position and angle of the clamping arms to ensure that the badminton is not clamped and can be launched at a predetermined speed and direction.

[0029] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3. In one embodiment, the ball feeding unit 1 includes a first motor, and the shaft of the first motor passes through the top of the shell 21; the first platform is located directly above the shell 21, and the shaft of the first motor is connected to the middle area of ​​the first platform; the ball storage bins are all arranged at the edge of the first platform; wherein, a second opening is opened at the bottom of the ball storage bins.

[0030] In the above embodiment, when all the shuttlecocks in a storage bin have been launched, the first motor is activated, causing the first platform to rotate or move. As the platform moves, the shuttlecocks in the storage bin gradually move to the second opening and fall out of it. This process is automatic and continuous, ensuring a stable and continuous supply of shuttlecocks to the serving unit.

[0031] Please continue to refer to Figure 1. In one embodiment, the track member 22 is arranged obliquely to the bottom of the shell 21; wherein, the first end of the track member 22 is located above the second end, and a support unit 3 is further arranged at the bottom of the serving unit 2. The support unit 3 includes a telescopic member with one end connected to the bottom of the shell 21, and the other end of the telescopic member is connected to the mobile platform. The ball storage bin is made of transparent plastic, which makes it easy to check the number and status of the badmintons and facilitates timely replenishment and management.

[0032] Specifically, the telescopic member enables the serving unit 2 to adjust its height and angle according to actual needs. For example, in different training or competition scenarios, it may be necessary to fine-tune the height and angle of the serve to achieve the optimal serving effect. By adjusting the length of the telescopic member, the user can easily achieve this requirement. The mobile platform provides greater flexibility, allowing the user to move the serving device to different locations to accommodate different venue layouts and usage requirements. At the same time, the mobile platform also enhances the stability of the device, ensuring that the device does not shake or shift during the serving process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the serve.

[0033] In summary, the utility model discloses an automatic badminton serving device, which mainly includes two parts: a ball delivery unit and a serving unit. The ball delivery unit is responsible for storing and delivering badminton to the serving unit. It is provided with a first opening for placing the badminton, and a second opening is responsible for delivering the badminton to the serving unit. The serving unit is composed of an outer shell, a track component, a movable component and a power component, and is responsible for receiving and launching the badminton. The outer shell protects the internal components, and the goal hole at the top is connected to the ball delivery unit to receive the delivered badminton. The track component guides the movement of the badminton, and the movable component is driven by an electric telescopic rod, and the limiting component thereon moves the badminton from the goal hole to the position of the power component. The power component provides the launching power, and the badminton finally flies out through the groove on the side surface of the outer shell, completing the serving process. This device realizes stable and accurate badminton serving through mechanized automatic operation.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.
