AI Technical Summary
Existing table tennis training ball-serving devices scatter the balls after serving, requiring trainers to manually pick them up and put them back into the device, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.
A table tennis training ball-serving device was designed, which includes a ball-serving mechanism and a ball-collecting mechanism. The ball is guided into the collection box by a guiding component and a negative pressure component. A protective net blocks some of the ball and suction is used to improve the collection efficiency.
This reduced the workload of trainers in picking up ping-pong balls and improved the efficiency of ping-pong ball collection.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a table tennis training ball-serving device includes a base plate 1. The bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with casters for easy movement. The top of the base plate 1 is provided with a ball-serving mechanism. The ball-serving mechanism includes a lifting frame 201 bolted to the top of the base plate 1. A ball storage cylinder 202 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 201. The bottom of the ball storage cylinder 202 is funnel-shaped. An installation box 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the ball storage cylinder 202. A guide tube 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation box 203. A launching tube 205 is hinged to the bottom of the guide tube 204.
[0029] The mounting box 203 is equipped with a shielding component, which includes an electric push rod 301 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting box 203. The movable end of the electric push rod 301 is fixedly connected to a baffle 302, which is located inside the mounting box 203. By controlling the electric push rod 301 to drive the baffle 302 to move, the opening at the bottom of the ball storage cylinder 202 can be opened and closed.
[0030] A launching assembly is provided behind the launching tube 205. The launching assembly includes an air pump 206 bolted to the top of the base plate 1. An air supply pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump 206. The other end of the air supply pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the rear of the launching tube 205 and communicates with the inside of the launching tube 205.
[0031] A collection mechanism is provided behind the ball-serving mechanism. The collection mechanism includes telescopic frames 401 fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 1. Support seats 402 are fixedly connected to the telescopic frames 401. Support rods 403 are plugged into the top of the support seats 402. A protective net 404 is fixedly connected between the two support rods 403. A collection box 405 is placed on the top of the base plate 1.
[0032] Two sets of guide components are symmetrically arranged on the telescopic frame 401 in front of the protective net 404. The guide components are used to guide some of the ping-pong balls into the collection box 405. The guide components include a slide rod 501 that is pluggably connected to the top of the telescopic frame 401. A guide plate 502 is slidably connected to the slide rod 501. The guide plate 502 is fixed to the slide rod 501 by a locking bolt. The two sets of guide plates 502 are arranged in a V-shape with the small opening facing down, which makes it easy for the ping-pong balls to fall into the collection box 405.
[0033] A negative pressure component is provided below the guide component. The negative pressure component provides a suction force to bring the ping-pong ball close to the guide component. The negative pressure component includes several exhaust fans 503 fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide plate 502. Ventilation holes are provided on the top of the guide plate 502.
[0034] Working principle: In use, move the base plate 1 to a suitable position, insert the support rod 403 into the support base 402, insert the guide plate 502 from the top of the slide rod 501, adjust the guide plate 502 to a suitable height according to the trainee's strength and other habits, tighten the locking bolt to fix the height of the guide plate 502, and control the electric push rod 301 to move the baffle 302, opening the opening at the bottom of the ball storage tube 202. The ping-pong ball falls into the launching tube 205 through the guide tube 204. Then, control the electric push rod 301 to move the baffle 302... The opening at the bottom of the ball storage cylinder 202 is sealed, and the air pump 206 is started to supply high-pressure gas to the launching tube 205 through the air supply pipe 207, thereby launching the ping-pong balls in the launching tube 205. After the launched ping-pong balls are hit back by the trainer, some of the ping-pong balls are hit onto the protective net 404, which blocks some of the ping-pong balls. At the same time, the exhaust fan 503 is started to provide suction force to the ping-pong balls near the guide component, so that the ping-pong balls fall into the collection box 405 under the guidance of the guide plate 502, reducing the workload of picking up ping-pong balls and improving the collection efficiency.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
