Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of badminton, in particular to an artificial plastic feather for badminton. Background Art

[0002] Traditional badmintons typically consist of 16 feathers inserted into a wooden head, then wrapped with two coils and secured with glue. These 16 feathers are natural feathers from goose or duck wings. Due to their unique biological properties, natural feathers offer unique flight characteristics and are exceptionally lightweight. However, natural feathers also present several challenges: first, limited availability and rising acquisition prices increase the manufacturing cost of badmintons. Second, due to the biological nature of natural feathers, their specifications and sizes vary, requiring rigorous screening and processing, resulting in high costs. Consequently, artificial feather badmintons have begun to appear on the market. Some artificial feathers feature an integrally molded shaft and blade made of engineering plastic, as in utility model patents (CN204107001U and CN212631650U). While these designs offer low manufacturing costs, the injection molding process makes it difficult to achieve ultra-thin blades. This results in a heavier feather, and the engineering plastic blades cannot withstand high-intensity impacts, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Therefore, existing badminton technology needs to be further designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problem that existing badmintons use natural feathers with inconsistent consistency, which requires time and effort to screen natural feathers and is high in cost. By rationalizing the design of badminton technology and adopting a plastic bottom, a plastic rod, feather pieces, bottom reinforcement ribs, rod reinforcement ribs and a guide groove, artificial feathers with high consistency can be achieved, and the effects of saving time, effort and cost can be achieved.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] An artificial plastic feather for badminton, comprising: a plastic base, a plastic rod, a feather piece, a base reinforcement, a rod reinforcement, and a guide groove. The plastic base is connected to one end of the plastic rod, and the other end of the plastic rod is connected to the feather piece. The guide groove is provided on both the plastic base and the plastic rod. The base reinforcement is provided on the plastic base, and the rod reinforcement is provided on the plastic rod. The plastic base is used to be inserted into a badminton stand.

[0007] Furthermore, the plastic bottom and the plastic rod are integrally formed.

[0009] Furthermore, the plastic bottom includes a prism bottom and a cylindrical bottom, the small-sized end of the prism bottom is connected to the cylindrical bottom, and the large-sized end of the prism bottom is connected to one end of the plastic rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom reinforcement ribs are evenly arranged on the side surfaces of the prism bottom.

[0011] Furthermore, the plastic rod is a pyramid-shaped plastic rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the plastic rod comprises a rod body and a clamping rod, the large-sized end of the rod body is connected to the plastic bottom, the small-sized end of the rod body is connected to the clamping rod, and the feather piece is clamped in the clamping rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the rod reinforcement is arranged on the bottom side of the plastic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the plastic rod is curved, and its bending angle is 5°-10°.

[0015] Furthermore, the plastic bottom, plastic rod, bottom reinforcement, rod reinforcement and guide groove are all made of modified polyamide fiber.

[0016] Furthermore, the plastic bottom, plastic rod, bottom ribs, rod ribs and guide grooves are all integrally formed.

[0017] Furthermore, the feather piece is made of fiber non-woven fabric.

[0018] Furthermore, the feather pieces are asymmetrically arranged around the midline of the plastic rod, and are biomimetic of natural feathers.

[0019] Furthermore, the top size of the feather piece is larger than the bottom size thereof, and the top and bottom of the feather piece are connected in a smooth transition.

[0020] Beneficial effects

[0021] The utility model rationalizes the design of badminton technology and adopts a plastic bottom, a plastic rod, feather pieces, bottom reinforcement ribs, rod reinforcement ribs and a guide groove to realize artificial feathers with high consistency, save time and labor, and reduce costs.

[0022] Among them, the plastic bottom, plastic rod, bottom ribs, rod ribs and guide grooves are integrally formed to manufacture the badminton rod, which is injection-molded with high rigidity, good impact strength, high ductility, high stress crack resistance and low-density modified PA material. Its cross-section adopts an "I" shape, which gradually becomes smaller from the end to the tail. The "I" shape has very strong structural stability in the XY direction, ensuring the stability of the feather insertion process and the flight stability of the badminton. The feather piece (feather piece) is made of fiber non-woven fabric, which has low density and high tear resistance as well as air permeability and water repellency. The non-woven fabric is placed in the mold cavity of the formed hair shaft and directly coated with glue for injection molding to ensure the compatibility of the materials. After injection molding, the hair shaft and the non-woven fabric have good bonding strength. Then, through the pre-set small holes in the middle of the non-woven fabric, the hair pieces on both sides can be coated with glue, so that the non-woven fabric and the hair shaft are integrated, and the artificial feathers with high rigidity and high impact resistance are produced. The artificial feather badminton made of light weight, high rigidity, stable flight and good impact resistance has the advantages of low cost, high rigidity, high impact resistance and light weight.

[0023] Among them, the compatibility of engineering plastics and non-woven fabrics can achieve a stable manufacturing process and realize large-scale industrial production; the low density, high tear resistance and breathability of non-woven fabric materials enable them to approach the flight stability of natural feathers, and are even more durable than natural feathers and cheaper.
