Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of badminton manufacturing, and in particular relates to a positioning mechanism for applying glue to badminton shuttlecocks. Background Technology

[0002] The positioning mechanism for badminton shuttlecock gluing is a key component that ensures accurate alignment and firm adhesion between the feathers and the shuttlecock base during the gluing process. It not only affects the quality of the finished product but also directly impacts production efficiency and cost.

[0003] Patent CN215940492U discloses a badminton shuttlecock positioning mechanism for a badminton shuttlecock coating machine. The mechanism includes a fixed plate and a positioning cylinder that runs through the fixed plate. The positioning cylinder is equipped with a quick positioning mechanism and a pushing mechanism. The quick positioning mechanism includes a drive motor fixed to the right side of the inner wall of the positioning cylinder. Triangular blocks are fixed to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the positioning cylinder, and folded rods are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the two triangular blocks. A drive shaft is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a turntable is fixed to the surface of the drive shaft. This invention relates to the field of badminton shuttlecock processing technology. This badminton shuttlecock positioning mechanism for a badminton shuttlecock coating machine, through the quick positioning mechanism, facilitates rapid positioning of the shuttlecock before coating, eliminating the need for manual positioning and achieving a high degree of automation. The pushing mechanism facilitates rapid unloading of the processed shuttlecock. However, this positioning mechanism, which uses a drive motor to rotate an arc-shaped extrusion block and then pushes a clamping plate inward to achieve shuttlecock positioning, has the following problems:

[0004] 1. The diameter of the positioning tube is much larger than that of the shuttlecock. After the shuttlecock is placed, it is easy for it to tilt to the side without the clamp after being positioned in only two directions, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the shuttlecock.

[0005] 2. This device does not have a depth limiting function. After the shuttlecock is inserted into the positioning tube, the depth of insertion needs to be precisely controlled each time, which makes the operation difficult.

[0006] In conclusion, there is an urgent need to develop a positioning mechanism for badminton shuttlecock glue application in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a positioning mechanism for badminton shuttlecock gluing that can be positioned in all directions.

[0008] The technical solution is as follows: A positioning mechanism for applying glue to badminton shuttlecocks includes a positioning frame, positioning wheels, guide posts, an arc plate, spring I, a synchronous rotation mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The lower part of the positioning frame is a concave cavity, and the top center of the positioning frame has an elliptical groove. Positioning wheels are evenly spaced and rotatably arranged in the upper part of the positioning frame. A guide post is slidably connected to the bottom of the positioning frame, and an arc plate is fixedly connected to the top of the guide post. Spring I is connected between the bottom of the guide post and the positioning frame.

The upper part of the lifting frame extends through the upper wall of the positioning frame. A rack is symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the lifting frame. A large gear is concentrically fixed to the circular surface of the positioning wheel. A transition plate is installed on the positioning frame below the positioning wheel. A pinion meshing with the adjacent large gear and rack is installed on the transition plate.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning mechanism includes a helical rack, a thumb cylinder, an adapter, a mounting ring, a slide rod, a spring II, and a slanted insert block. The helical rack is installed on the outer side of the guide post. The thumb cylinder is installed on the top of the inner cavity of the positioning frame. The telescopic end of the thumb cylinder is connected to the adapter. The slide rod is slidably connected to the adapter. The mounting ring is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the positioning frame. The slide rod passes through the mounting ring and is connected to the slanted insert block. The slide rod is fitted with a spring II. One end of the spring II is connected to the mounting ring, and the other end is connected to the adapter.

[0011] Optionally, the adapter has a hollow cylindrical shape inside, and the top of the adapter has an opening, allowing the end of the slide rod to slide within the adapter.

[0012] Optionally, the lower side of the teeth on the helical rack is an upwardly inclined surface, the upper side of the teeth on the helical rack is a plane, the lower side of the helical insert is a straight surface, the upper side is a downwardly inclined surface, and the helical insert is stuck inside the helical rack.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes an edge covering mechanism. The edge covering mechanism is installed on the outer side of the positioning frame. The edge covering mechanism includes a cylinder, a piston, an annular airbag, an air pipe, an arc rod, a pressure block, and a spring III. The cylinder is symmetrically installed on the outer side of the positioning frame. An annular airbag is installed on the top edge of the groove at the top of the positioning frame. A piston is slidably connected to each cylinder. An air pipe is connected between the outlet of the cylinder and the annular airbag. A spring III is connected between the piston and the cylinder. Arc rods are symmetrically installed on the upper side of the piston. A pressure block is provided on the upper part of the lifting frame above the arc rod.

[0014] Optionally, the pressure block and the arc-shaped rod below it partially overlap in the vertical direction.

[0015] Optionally, it also includes an arc-shaped pad, which is installed on the upper side of the arc-shaped plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example: A positioning mechanism for applying glue to badminton shuttlecocks, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the system includes a positioning frame 1, positioning wheels 2, guide posts 3, arc-shaped plates 4, springs I 5, a synchronous rotation mechanism 6, a positioning mechanism 7, and arc-shaped pads 9. The lower part of the positioning frame 1 is a concave cavity, and the top center of the positioning frame 1 has an elliptical groove. Positioning wheels 2 are evenly spaced and rotated in the upper part of the positioning frame 1. Guide posts 3 are vertically slidably connected to the bottom center of the positioning frame 1. Arc-shaped plates 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the guide posts 3. Arc-shaped pads 9 are installed on the upper side of the arc-shaped plates 4. Springs I 5 are connected between the bottom of the guide posts 3 and the positioning frame 1. The synchronous rotation mechanism 6 is installed in the cavity of the positioning frame 1 to drive the positioning wheels 2 to rotate synchronously. The positioning mechanism 7 is installed in the upper part of the cavity of the positioning frame 1 to fix and maintain the height of the guide posts 3.

[0027] When using this device to position badminton shuttlecocks, first insert the shuttlecock holder downwards into the positioning frame 1. The bottom of the shuttlecock holder presses against the curved plate 4. The curved plate 4 moves downwards under the pressure of the shuttlecock holder, causing the guide column 3 to move downwards. At this time, the spring I5 is stretched, and the downward movement of the guide column 3 triggers the synchronous rotation mechanism 6. The synchronous rotation mechanism 6 drives the positioning wheel 2 to rotate clockwise synchronously. At the same time, the clockwise rotation of the positioning wheel 2 assists in conveying the shuttlecock downwards. When the curved plate 4 moves to the bottom, the positioning mechanism 7 fixes the guide column 3 and its components. Then, the shuttlecock is coated with glue. After the shuttlecock is coated with glue, the spring I5 resets, causing the guide column 3 to move upwards and reset, thereby causing the curved plate 4 to move upwards and push out the shuttlecock on it.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the synchronous rotation mechanism 6 includes a lifting frame 61, a rack 62, a transition plate 63, a pinion 64, and a large gear 65. The bottom of the guide column 3 is equipped with the same number of lifting frames 61 as the positioning wheels 2. The lifting frames 61 are located outside the positioning wheels 2. The upper part of the lifting frames 61 extends through the upper wall of the positioning frame 1. The racks 62 are symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the lifting frames 61. The circular surface of the positioning wheels 2 is concentrically fixedly connected to the large gears 65. The small gears 64 that mesh with the adjacent large gears 65 and racks 62 are installed on the transition plate 63 below the positioning wheels 2.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a helical rack 71, a thumb cylinder 72, an adapter 73, a mounting ring 74, a slide rod 75, a spring 76, and a helical insert 77. The helical rack 71 is mounted on the outer side of the guide post 3. The lower side of the teeth on the helical rack 71 is an upwardly inclined surface, and the upper side of the teeth on the helical rack 71 is a flat surface. The thumb cylinder 72 is mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the positioning frame 1. The telescopic end of the thumb cylinder 72 faces the helical rack 71. The concave end is connected to an adapter 73, and a slide rod 75 is slidably connected to the adapter 73. An installation ring 74 is fixedly connected to the top center of the inner cavity of the positioning frame 1. The slide rod 75 passes through the installation ring 74 and is connected to an inclined block 77. The inclined block 77 is locked in the inclined rack 71. The lower side of the inclined block 77 is a straight surface, and the upper side is a downward inclined surface. A spring II 76 is sleeved on the slide rod 75. One end of the spring II 76 is connected to the installation ring 74, and the other end is connected to the adapter 73.

[0030] When the guide post 3 moves downward, it drives the lifting frame 61 to move downward, which in turn drives the rack 62 to move downward, which in turn drives the pinion 64 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the gear 65 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the positioning wheel 2 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the inner side of the positioning wheel 2 is in contact with the outer side of the shuttlecock base, pushing the shuttlecock downward. At the same time, when the guide post 3 moves downward, it drives the helical rack 71 to move downward. At this time, the inclined surface of the helical rack 71 is in contact with the inclined surface of the inclined insertion block 77. Meanwhile, the slide rod 75 can slide in the adapter 73. The inclined insertion block 77 will not block the helical rack 71 from moving downward. At the same time, the straight surface of the helical rack 71 is in contact with the straight surface of the inclined insertion block 77. The guide post 3 cannot move upward. After the shuttlecock is coated with glue, the thumb cylinder 72 is shortened, which drives the adapter 73 and the slide rod 75 to slide outward, which drives the inclined insertion block 77 to move outward. The inclined insertion block 77 disengages from the helical rack 71. Under the action of the spring I5, the shuttlecock on the arc plate 4 is pushed out.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an edge covering mechanism 8. The edge covering mechanism 8 is installed on the outer side of the positioning frame 1. The edge covering mechanism 8 includes a cylinder 81, a piston 84, an annular airbag 82, an air pipe 83, an arc rod 85, a pressure block 86, and a spring Ⅲ 87. The cylinder 81 is vertically and symmetrically installed on the outer side of the positioning frame 1. The annular airbag 82 is installed on the top edge of the groove at the top of the positioning frame 1. The piston 84 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 81. The air pipe 83 is connected between the outlet of the cylinder 81 and the annular airbag 82. The spring Ⅲ 87 is connected between the piston 84 and the cylinder 81. The arc rod 85 is symmetrically installed on the upper side of the piston 84. The pressure block 86 is provided on the upper part of the lifting frame 61 above the arc rod 85. The pressure block 86 and the arc rod 85 below it partially overlap in the vertical direction.

[0032] When the lifting frame 61 moves downward, it drives the pressure block 86 to move downward. When the pressure block 86 moves downward and contacts the arc rod 85, it drives the arc rod 85 to move downward, which in turn drives the piston 84 to move downward. The spring III 87 is compressed, and the downward movement of the piston 84 causes the gas in the cylinder 81 to enter the annular air bladder 82 through the air pipe 83, causing the annular air bladder 82 to expand and block the gap between the shuttlecock and the positioning frame 1. This allows the shuttlecock to be positioned again and also prevents glue from entering the positioning frame 1. When the shuttlecock is pushed out, the lifting frame 61 moves upward, driving the pressure block 86 to move upward. At this time, the spring III 87 resets, driving the piston 84 to move upward and reset, drawing the gas in the annular air bladder 82 back into the cylinder 81.

[0033] Although this disclosure has been shown and described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Therefore, the scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the above embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by their equivalents.
