Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of billiard tables, and more particularly to a billiard ball falling buffer structure, a billiard table atmosphere bank edge, and a billiard table. Background Art

[0002] A pool table has six pockets, and billiard balls need to be manually collected under each pocket, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also affects the player's experience. To solve this problem, automatic ball collectors have gradually appeared on the market. They can automatically collect the billiard balls that fall from the pockets into a ball collection box at the end of the table, greatly improving the convenience of use. Existing ball collection track designs are mainly divided into two types: built-in and external. The external ball collection track extends along the outside of the long side of the table to the top of the ball collection box, while the built-in ball collection track extends into the interior of the table through a hole opened on the long side of the table. The built-in ball collection track usually includes a ball receiving assembly, a ball receiving track, a collection track, and a connecting track connecting these parts.

[0003] In professional billiards competitions, ball collection tracks are not used due to concerns about potential damage to the billiard balls. When a billiard ball falls from the pocket onto the ball collection track, it will cause certain damage to the outer surface of the ball. During this process, some buffer structures can be designed to slow down the force of the fall, thereby reducing this damage.

[0004] However, for an external ball collection track, the three pockets on the same side are connected, and installing a corresponding buffer structure may affect the connectivity of the entire ball collection track. In other words, the pockets of the internal ball collection track are independent tracks, which is relatively easy to set up, but in order to meet versatility, the installation issues should still be fully considered.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a buffer structure and a billiard table that can be easily installed and can reduce the force of billiard balls falling into the pocket is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the utility model provides a billiard ball falling buffer structure, a billiard table atmosphere bank edge and a billiard table, aiming to solve the above technical problems.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A billiard ball drop buffer structure includes a ball drop buffer rack connected below a billiard table pocket, wherein a bottom ball outlet of the ball drop buffer rack is connected to a ball collecting track; the ball drop buffer rack includes:

[0009] A connecting tube, wherein the top edge of the connecting tube is connected to the bottom edge of the pocket of the billiard table, the bottom edge of the connecting tube is connected to the ball collecting track, and a guide hole is opened on the side wall of the connecting tube;

[0010] A curved guide plate, one side of which has a connecting plate, a guide rod fixed to the connecting plate, the guide rod passing through the guide hole and slidably connected to the guide hole, the curved guide plate being located inside the connecting tube, and the end of the guide rod passing through the connecting tube having a limit head;

[0011] A spring is sleeved on the guide rod and pressed tightly between the inner wall of the connecting cylinder and the connecting plate.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the utility model adds a ball-falling buffer frame between the connection point of the existing billiard table pocket and the ball collecting track, and utilizes the elastic connection of the curved guide plate in the connecting tube through the spring to elastically buffer the falling billiard ball, and utilizes the power of the billiard ball itself to compress the spring to open the curved guide plate, and finally allows the billiard ball to fall onto the ball collecting track. In this way, the elastic buffer structure reduces the damage caused by the excessive force of the billiard ball falling, and has a good billiard ball quality protection effect.

[0013] Preferably, in the aforementioned billiard ball drop buffer structure, an enlarged annular expansion cavity is formed in the middle portion of the sidewall of the connecting tube, and the guide hole is provided in the sidewall of the annular expansion cavity. The annular expansion cavity provides space for the curved guide plate to extend and retract, ensuring that when the gravity of the billiard ball presses against the curved guide plate, there is sufficient space for the billiard ball to move and fall onto the ball collection track.

[0014] Preferably, in the aforementioned billiard ball drop buffer structure, the connecting plate is an L-shaped plate, the outer surface of the connecting plate being fixed to the guide rod, the bottom surface of the connecting plate having a slide rail, and the inner bottom surface of the annular expansion cavity having a slide groove that slidably engages with the slide rail. The L-shaped plate not only provides a stronger stable support capability, but also allows the guide rod and the slide rail to be connected to the two walls of the L-shaped plate, respectively, making the overall structure more stable during movement.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned billiard ball falling buffer structure, the curved guide plates are symmetrically arranged at two locations on the inner side of the connecting tube. The symmetrical arrangement can catch the billiard balls on both sides, resulting in a better receiving effect.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned billiard ball falling buffer structure, the curved guide plate includes an arc section in the middle, the top edge of the arc section is connected to a horizontal section, the bottom edge of the arc section is connected to a vertical section, and the connection points between the arc section and the horizontal section, and between the arc section and the vertical section, are all chamfered. The curved guide plate of the utility model has a more streamlined appearance and better guiding and supporting functions. The arc section is the main structure of the overall supporting buffer structure. The entire structure has a chamfered transition, which will not cause damage to the billiard ball. At the same time, the provision of the vertical section can better guide the billiard ball to fall, and the operation is smooth.

[0017] Preferably, in the aforementioned billiard ball drop buffer structure, when both springs are extended, the diameter of the circle formed by the two corresponding arcuate segments is equal to the diameter of the billiard ball; and when the two springs are compressed, the diameter of the two corresponding vertical segments is sufficient to allow the billiard ball to drop. The elasticity of the springs ensures that the curved guide plate can be reset while not affecting the gravity-induced movement of the billiard ball.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned billiard ball falling buffer structure, the gravity of the billiard ball can compress and deform the spring.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned billiard ball falling buffer structure, the inner wall surface of the curved guide plate is a flexible cloth surface. The flexible cloth surface can better protect the outer surface of the billiard ball.

[0020] The utility model also provides a billiard table atmosphere bank edge, comprising a bank edge body and a billiard ball falling buffer structure;

[0021] An atmosphere light is embedded on the top surface of the side body, and the atmosphere light is close to the pocket of the billiard table;

[0022] A touch switch is provided on the inner wall of the connecting tube. The touch switch is electrically connected to the atmosphere light via a wire. When the spring is compressed, the connecting plate can press the touch switch.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, the utility model further provides an atmosphere light on the basis of the above structure. By utilizing the action principle of the curved guide plate, a touch switch is set. Every time the billiard ball falls, it will touch the touch switch, causing the atmosphere light near the corresponding pocket to flash, which is more entertaining.

[0024] The utility model also provides a billiard table, comprising a billiard table atmosphere bank edge.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the billiard table provided by the utility model not only has the effect of protecting billiard balls and collecting balls, but also has a stronger atmosphere and entertainment.

[0026] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a billiard ball drop buffer structure, a billiard table atmosphere bank edge, and a billiard table, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The utility model adds a falling ball buffer frame between the existing billiard table pocket and the connection point of the ball collecting track. The curved guide plate is elastically connected in the connecting tube by a spring, so that the falling billiard ball can be elastically buffered. The power of the billiard ball itself is used to compress the spring to open the curved guide plate, and finally the billiard ball falls into the ball collecting track. In this way, the elastic buffer structure reduces the damage caused by the excessive force of the falling ball, and has a good effect of protecting the quality of the billiard balls.

[0028] 2. The curved guide plate of the present invention has a more streamlined appearance and better guiding and supporting functions. The arc section is the main structure of the overall supporting buffer structure. The entire structure has rounded transitions and will not cause damage to the billiard balls. At the same time, the setting of the vertical section can better guide the billiard balls to fall and run smoothly.

[0029] 3. Based on the above structure, the present invention also provides an atmosphere light. By utilizing the action principle of the curved guide plate, a touch switch is set. Every time the billiard ball falls, it touches the touch switch, causing the atmosphere light near the corresponding pocket to flash, which is more entertaining.

[0030] 4. The billiard table provided by the utility model not only has the effect of protecting billiard balls and collecting balls, but also has a stronger atmosphere and entertainment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
