Through the above structure, since it includes the ball holder assembly 4 and the batting assembly 5, the user can choose to use the ball holder assembly 4 or the batting assembly 5 according to his or her needs, thereby providing the user with more choices, satisfying the user's use in multiple scenarios, and greatly improving the user experience; when the user uses the ball holder assembly 4, the baseball is placed on the ball holder assembly 4, and the user can hit the baseball to fly, simulating a real baseball hitting scene. When the user uses the batting assembly 5, the baseball is set on the hitting device 52, and the hitting device 52 is hung on the free end of the connecting rod 51. After the user hits the baseball, the baseball will not be hit away, but will still be hanging on the free end of the connecting rod 51, which can avoid the trouble of the customer repeatedly picking up the ball; the free end of the connecting rod 51 extends outward in a direction away from the support assembly 2, and there is a batting gap between the hitting device 52 and the support assembly 2, which can prevent the user from touching the support assembly 2 when hitting the baseball, thereby causing unnecessary losses.
[0030] In this embodiment, the striking device 52 includes a connecting assembly 521, a flexible member 522, and a striking ball 523. One end of the connecting assembly 521 is rotatably connected to the free end of the connecting rod 51. The flexible member 522 is disposed between the connecting assembly 521 and the striking ball 523. One end of the flexible member 522 is connected to the connecting assembly 521, and the other end of the flexible member 522 is connected to the striking ball 523. Through the above structure, the user can connect the connecting rod 51 and the striking ball 523 to form an integral whole through the connecting assembly 521. In this embodiment, a detachable connection method such as a thread, a bolt, or a rotating shaft can also be used to achieve the rotatable connection between the connecting rod 51 and the connecting assembly 521. The flexible member 522 can be a rope, rubber, etc. The striking ball 523 can be freely suspended at the lower end of the connecting assembly 521. The size of the striking ball 523 matches the size of a baseball, so that the ball will not fly away when the user hits it, eliminating the trouble of the user picking up the ball, greatly improving the user experience.
[0031] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 521 includes a movable member 524 and a connecting body 525.

One end of the connecting body 525 is connected to the connecting rod 51, and the other end of the connecting body 525 is provided with a universal ball 527. The universal ball 527 is universally rotatable and mounted in the mounting slot 526, allowing the movable member 524 to universally rotate relative to the connecting body 525. With this structure, when a user hits a baseball, the movable member 524 can universally rotate relative to the connecting body 525, and thus the connecting assembly 521 can universally rotate relative to the connecting rod 51. This allows the user to simulate a real baseball practice scenario and swing the baseball from multiple angles, greatly enhancing the user experience. Specifically, some lubricating oil can also be placed in the mounting groove 526 to allow the movable part 524 to rotate more smoothly; the movable part 524 can be composed of a connecting bolt and a connecting sleeve, or a separate connecting bolt and connecting sleeve; in some embodiments, the connecting body 525 can be connected at the end away from the universal ball 527 using other methods such as threads, bolts, and a rotating shaft.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 521 further includes an elastic member 528, which is fixedly disposed at the opening of the mounting groove 526 and sleeved on the connecting body 525. The connecting body 525 is further provided with a stopper 529, which is located on the outside of the elastic member 528 and is used to abut the elastic member 528. Through the above structure, the elastic member 528 is sleeved on the connecting body 525, so that when the user hits the ball 523, the elastic member 528 can play a role of rebounding and buffering the force, thereby avoiding wear on the movable member 524 and the connecting rod 51. By providing the stopper 529 on the connecting body 525, when the movable member 524 rotates universally relative to the connecting body 525, the elastic member 528 is compressed, and the elastic member 528 will not slide toward the connecting rod 51. Specifically, the elastic member 528 can be a rubber sleeve, a spring, etc.

Through the above structure, the diameter of one end of the first rod 21 is slightly smaller than that of the connecting rod 51. After one end of the first rod 21 is inserted into one end of the connecting rod 51, the first connecting member 21a is inserted into the connecting rod 51 and the first rod 21; the diameter of the other end of the first rod 21 is slightly smaller than that of the first intermediate rod 22. After one end of the first intermediate rod 22 is inserted into the other end of the first rod 21, the second connecting member 21b is inserted into the first rod 21 and the first intermediate rod 22 to improve the stability of the connection between the connecting rod 51 and the first rod 21, and the first rod 21 and the first intermediate rod 22; and the first connecting member 21a and the second connecting member 21b can effectively prevent the connecting rod 51 from sliding out of the first rod 21, and the first rod 21 from sliding out of the first intermediate rod 22. The diameter of one end of the second rod 23 is slightly smaller than that of one end of the first intermediate rod 22. During installation, one end of the second rod 23 is first inserted into one end of the first intermediate rod 22, and then the third connecting piece 22a is inserted into the first intermediate rod 22 and the second rod 23 from the side, which effectively prevents the second rod 23 from slipping out of the first intermediate rod 22, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first intermediate rod 22 and the second rod 23; further, when the user needs to detach the connecting rod 51 from the first rod 21, the first rod 21 from the first intermediate rod 22, and the first intermediate rod 22 from the second rod 23, it is only necessary to pull out the first connecting piece 21a, the second connecting piece 21b and the third connecting piece 22a. At this time, the connecting rod 51 and the first rod 21, the first rod 21 and the first intermediate rod 22, and the first intermediate rod 22 and the second rod 23 are loose, and the user only needs to pull out the connecting rod 51, the first rod 21 and the first intermediate rod 22 to detach them.
[0034] In this embodiment, the support assembly 2 further includes a mounting sleeve 24 , one end of the mounting sleeve 24 is connected to one end of the ball holder assembly 4 , and the other end of the mounting sleeve 24 is connected to one end of the first intermediate rod 22 .
[0035] Through the above structure, the diameter of the mounting sleeve 24 is slightly larger than one end of the ball holder assembly 4, and one end of the ball holder assembly 4 is directly inserted into the upper end of the mounting sleeve 24. At this time, the ball holder assembly 4 and the mounting sleeve 24 are connected as one. The diameter of the other end of the mounting sleeve 24 is slightly smaller than the first intermediate rod 22, and the mounting sleeve 24 is directly inserted into one end of the first intermediate rod 22. The above structure is simple and easy to install and disassemble, while saving space and being convenient for users to transport.
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of equally spaced positioning holes 23a are provided on the side wall of the second rod 23; the base unit 1 includes a support rod 11 inserted on the base unit 1, and one end of the support rod 11 is detachably connected to one end of the second rod 23; a mounting through hole 11b whose size matches the positioning hole 23a is provided on the side wall of the support rod 11, and the support rod 11 also includes a bolt 11a that can be passed through the positioning hole 23a and the mounting through hole 11b. Through the above structure, a plurality of equidistantly arranged positioning holes 23a are provided on the side wall of the second rod 23. The user can adjust the second rod 23 up and down according to the height requirement. When the positioning hole 23a is adjusted to be flush with the mounting through hole 11b, the bolt 11a is inserted into the positioning hole 23a and the mounting through hole 11b at the same time. At this time, it can effectively ensure that the second rod 23 will not slip out of the support rod 11, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the second rod 23 and the support rod 11; and when the user needs to detach the second rod 23 from the support rod 11, it only needs to pull out the bolt 11a from the positioning hole 23a and the mounting through hole 11b. At this time, the second rod 23 and the support rod 11 are no longer in a clamped state, and the user can directly pull the second rod 23 out of the support rod 11.
[0037] In this embodiment, the base unit 1 includes four support members 12, one end of which is connected to the base unit 1, and the other end of which is distributed in four directions. This structure allows the support members 12 to be deployed in four directions, allowing the base unit 1 to stand stably on a horizontal surface. This simple structure is easy to install and remove, greatly improving the user experience.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support member 12 can rotate between an open position and a closed position.
