Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports training equipment technology, and in particular to a badminton serving machine. Background Technology
[0002] Badminton is a competitive sport that requires at least two players. To improve training effectiveness and convenience, a large number of shuttlecocks are typically used during badminton training. However, this results in very high physical exertion for the training partners, affecting training results and causing them significant fatigue, leading to high labor costs. Badminton serving machines can effectively solve these problems, thus possessing a promising market prospect and development potential. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a badminton serving machine to replace manual serving and reduce the labor costs of training.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:
[0005] A badminton serving machine is provided, including a support base, an mounting plate on the support base, a clamping mechanism on the mounting plate, a badminton shuttlecock placement container located above the clamping mechanism and open at the bottom, badminton shuttlecocks placed upside down in the badminton shuttlecock placement container, and the clamping mechanism being movable upward to clamp the badminton shuttlecocks in the badminton shuttlecock placement container;
[0006] The mounting plate is also provided with a pushing mechanism. The clamping mechanism moves downward to put the shuttlecock into the pushing mechanism.
[0007] The front end of the pushing mechanism is equipped with two serving rollers. The pushing mechanism pushes the shuttlecock between the two serving rollers, and the two serving rollers rotate to launch the shuttlecock.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a lifting platform with two clamping plates connected to it. The two clamping plates can open and close to clamp the head of the badminton shuttlecock.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the lifting platform, and an expansion member is provided between the two clamping plates, which can open the two clamping plates apart;
[0010] The two clamping pieces are returned to their original positions by a reset spring.
[0011] Furthermore, the badminton shuttlecock storage bin is installed on the top plate, and the top plate has an opening adapted to the badminton shuttlecock storage bin;
[0012] The expansion member includes an expansion rod inserted into the lifting platform. The expansion rod is movably connected to the lifting platform. The expansion rod can be supported upward by the top plate and downward by the mounting plate.
[0013] The body wall of the expansion rod is provided with an expansion head. When the expansion head is located between the two clamping plates, the two clamping plates expand outward. When the expansion head disengages from the clamping plates, the two clamping plates clamp together.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting platform is driven to move up and down by a lead screw mechanism, and the lead screw of the lead screw mechanism is driven to rotate by a stepper motor.
[0015] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing slider that is slidably connected to the mounting plate. The pushing slider pushes forward to push the shuttlecock between the two serving rollers.
[0016] Furthermore, a push rod is provided behind the push slider. One end of the push rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and the other end can push the push slider. An electromagnetic switch is provided behind the push rod, and the push rod can rotate under the control of the electromagnetic switch, thereby pushing the push slider forward during rotation.
[0017] Furthermore, a vibration damping plate is installed above the mounting plate, with a gap between the vibration damping plate and the mounting plate. The ball-serving roller is located above the vibration damping plate and is driven to rotate by a motor located below the mounting plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the front end of the mounting plate has an upwardly inclined structure.
[0019] Furthermore, the mounting plate is rotatable relative to the support base;
[0020] The support base is height adjustable.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] 1. The badminton serving machine of this utility model can control the opening or clamping of the clamping plate through the expansion member, which makes the method of clamping the badminton simple and easy to implement. Then the badminton is pushed by the pushing device and launched by the serving roller. The overall structure is simple and has a low failure rate.
[0023] 2. In the badminton serving machine of this utility model, the damping plate not only serves to elevate the serving rollers, thereby ensuring that the shuttlecock can be pushed between the two serving rollers and launched smoothly, but also serves to dampen vibration. Since there is a gap between the damping plate and the mounting plate, the vibration of the serving rollers above the damping plate can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the shuttlecock and enabling the shuttlecock to be launched accurately.
[0024] 3. The badminton serving machine of this utility model has a rotating mounting plate, which allows the serving position to be adjusted. This also avoids the problem of training personnel not being able to obtain a simulated training environment of a real competition due to the single serving position. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a badminton serving machine, including a support base 1. The support base 1 has a mounting plate 2, and the mounting plate 2 has a vertically movable clamping mechanism for removing shuttlecocks from a shuttlecock placement container 3. The shuttlecock placement container 3 is located above the clamping mechanism and has an open bottom. The shuttlecocks are placed upside down in the shuttlecock placement container 3, with the shuttlecock head protruding from the bottom of the container 3 to facilitate clamping. The mounting plate 2 also has a pushing mechanism. The clamping mechanism moves downwards to place the clamped shuttlecock into the pushing mechanism. The front end of the pushing mechanism has two serving rollers 16. The pushing mechanism pushes the shuttlecock between the two serving rollers 16, which rotate to launch the shuttlecock. To ensure the shuttlecock is launched in a parabolic trajectory, the front end of the mounting plate 2 is tilted upwards, and the two serving rollers 16 are also tilted.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a lifting platform 5, on which two clamping plates 6 are connected. The two clamping plates 6 can open and close to clamp the head of the badminton shuttlecock. Specifically, the clamping plates 6 are rotatably connected to the lifting platform 5, and an expansion member is provided between the two clamping plates 6 to open them apart; the two clamping plates 6 are driven back into position by a return spring.
[0036] In this embodiment, the badminton shuttlecock placement container 3 is mounted on a top plate 4. The top plate 4 has an opening adapted to the container 3, through which the shuttlecocks extend. A lead screw mechanism 10 is provided between the top plate 4 and the mounting plate 2, and the lifting platform 5 is moved up and down via this mechanism. Specifically, the lead screw of the lead screw mechanism 10 is connected to a stepper motor 17 via a belt. The stepper motor 17 rotates, driving the lead screw to rotate, thereby moving the lifting platform 5 up and down. Figure 3 As shown, the expanding member includes an expanding rod 8 inserted into the lifting platform 5. The expanding rod 8 is movably connected to the lifting platform 5. An expanding head 9 is provided on the body wall of the expanding rod 8. When the expanding head 9 is located between the two clamping plates 6, the two clamping plates 6 expand outwards. When the expanding head 9 disengages from the clamping plates 6, the two clamping plates 6 clamp together. The two clamping plates 6 can be returned to their original position by a torsion spring or by a spring, as shown. Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the two clamping plates 6 are driven back into position by a torsion spring. Specifically, a torsion spring mounting groove 7 can be opened on the two clamping plates 6, and the torsion spring can be installed in the torsion spring mounting groove 7. The working principle of the clamping mechanism is as follows: the expansion head 9 is located between the two clamping plates 6, the two clamping plates 6 are spread apart, and the head of the badminton shuttlecock can be placed between the two clamping plates 6; when the badminton shuttlecock is clamped, the screw rotates and drives the lifting platform 5 to move upward, and the clamping plates 6 and the expansion member also rise with the lifting platform 5. When it rises to the top of the expansion member and hits the top plate 4, the expansion member can no longer rise, but the lifting platform 5 drives the clamping plates 6 to continue to rise, the top plate 4 hits the expansion member, the expansion member is pushed downward, and the expansion head 9 of the expansion member disengages from the two clamping plates 6. The clamping plates clamp inward to hold the shuttlecock's head in place. Then, the lead screw rotates in the opposite direction, causing the lifting platform 5 to descend. The clamping plates 6 and the expansion member also descend with the lifting platform 5. When the expansion member reaches the bottom and hits the mounting plate 2, the expansion member can no longer descend. The lifting platform 5 drives the clamping plates 6 to continue descending. The mounting plate 2 hits the expansion member, and the expansion member is pushed upward. The expansion head 9 of the expansion member extends between the two clamping plates 6, and the two clamping plates 6 open outward, sending the shuttlecock into the pushing mechanism.
[0037] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing slider 11, which is slidably connected to the mounting plate 2. When the clamping mechanism moves downward, the two clamping plates 6 open, placing the shuttlecock in the pushing slider 11. The pushing slider 11 then pushes forward, propelling the shuttlecock between the two serving rollers 16. Additionally, the pushing slider 11 can be spring-driven to return to its original position.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, a push rod 12 is provided behind the push slider 11. One end of the push rod 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2, and the other end can push the push slider 11. An electromagnetic switch 13 is provided behind the push rod 12. The push rod 12 can rotate under the control of the electromagnetic switch 13, thereby pushing the push slider 11 forward during rotation. Specifically, when the electromagnetic switch 13 is activated, the pull rod 14 of the electromagnetic switch 13 becomes magnetic and is pulled backward. The push rod 12 is provided with a magnetic block. The pull rod 14 attracts the magnetic block and pulls the push rod 12 backward. A return spring is sleeved on the pull rod 14. After the electromagnetic switch 13 is de-energized, the pull rod 14 moves forward to return to its original position under the action of the return spring, and pushes the push rod 12 forward. The push rod 12 rotates, and the end of the push rod 12 pushes the push slider 11 forward.
[0039] The push slider 11 moves forward, and the shuttlecock head is moved between the two service rollers 16. In this embodiment, a vibration damping plate 15 is installed above the mounting plate 2, with a gap between the vibration damping plate 15 and the mounting plate 2. The service roller 16 is located above the vibration damping plate 15 and is driven to rotate by a motor located below the mounting plate 2. The vibration damping plate 15 serves two purposes: it elevates the service roller 16, ensuring that the shuttlecock can be pushed between the two service rollers 16 and launched smoothly, and it also dampens vibration. Because there is a gap between the vibration damping plate 15 and the mounting plate 2, it effectively reduces the vibration of the service roller 16 above the vibration damping plate 15, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the shuttlecock and allowing the shuttlecock to be launched accurately.
[0040] Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 can rotate relative to the support base 1. Specifically, the mounting plate 2 can be rotated by a motor assembly, allowing the serving position to be adjusted. This also avoids the problem of training personnel not receiving simulated training in a real match environment due to a single serving position. The support base 1 is height-adjustable, allowing for adjustment of the serving height. The motor assembly is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] The badminton serving machine described in this embodiment can replace manual serving, reducing the labor costs of training. At the same time, the serving machine has a simple structure and can adjust the serving height and position, making it convenient and flexible to use.
[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-mentioned features with technical features disclosed in this application (but not limited to) that have similar functions.
