[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application. Embodiment 1

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-6 the figure, a softball practice frame includes a support 1, a ball basket 2 and a pipe 3.

[0037] The support 1 can have various specific structures. As a specific embodiment, the support includes a horizontal first support 11 at the bottom, a second support 12 extending upward from the first support 11, and a third support 13 extending transversely from the second support 12.

[0038] The ball basket 2 is fixed on the support 1, and the ball basket is used to hold a plurality of softballs. The structure of the ball basket is not limited, as long as it can hold a plurality of softballs and be fixed on the support. Specifically, the ball basket can be placed on the support. The number of ball baskets is also not limited, which can be one or more. As long as it can be placed on the support. When there are multiple, they can be placed on the support respectively.

[0039] The pipe 3 is obliquely arranged on one side of the support 1, the inner diameter of the pipe 3 is greater than the diameter of one softball 4 and less than the sum of the diameters of two softballs; the end of the pipe 3 is tilted upward, so that the pipe outlet 33 is obliquely upward. In this way, the inner diameter of the pipe is only large enough to accommodate one softball.

[0040] As a specific embodiment, the pipe 3 includes a straight pipe 31 and a curved pipe 32, the straight pipe 31 is obliquely arranged, and the curved pipe 32 is fixed at the end of the straight pipe 31, and the outlet of the curved pipe 32 is obliquely upward.

[0041] As a specific embodiment, the end of the first support 11 is provided with a universal wheel 14; in this way, the whole baseball and softball practice frame can be moved conveniently.

[0042] The top end of the second support 12 is provided with a handrail 15; in this way, the whole baseball and softball practice frame can be pushed conveniently.

[0043] The third support 13 is multiple, used for carrying multiple ball baskets 2; in this way, the ball baskets can be placed on the first support and the third support conveniently.

[0044] The working process of the baseball and softball practice frame is as follows:

[0045] Firstly, multiple baseballs and softballs are loaded in the ball baskets, one baseball or softball is taken out from the ball baskets, and then the baseball or softball is put into the top end entrance of the pipe. The baseball or softball rolls down due to the gravity, has a certain impulse, and flies out from the upwardly-raised pipe outlet. At this time, the practice member can hold a bat to hit the flying baseball or softball, so as to carry out the precise hitting practice.

[0046] Since the inner diameter of the pipe is only large enough to accommodate one baseball or softball, the baseballs or softballs loaded in the ball baskets can be put into the pipe one by one. According to the practice needs, the baseballs or softballs can be put into the pipe one by one at different frequencies, so as to achieve multiple practice effects.

[0047] In summary, the baseball or softball is in motion, and is hit in the motion process. Embodiment 2

[0048] With reference to Embodiment 1, different from Embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 7 , this embodiment is provided with an adjusting device between the pipe and the support, which can adjust the position of the pipe and the direction of the pipe outlet.

[0049] The adjusting device comprises a first clamping piece 51 fixed on the support, an L-shaped piece 52 rotatably connected to the middle end of the first clamping piece 51, and a second clamping piece 53 fixedly connected to the L-shaped piece 52 in an oblique direction. The pipe 3 is arranged on the second clamping piece 53, and the pipe 3 can rotate on the second clamping piece 53.

[0050] The first clamping piece 51 is located on the X-axis, the horizontal end of the L-shaped piece 52 is located on the Y-axis, the vertical end of the L-shaped piece 52 is located on the Z-axis, and the second clamping piece 53 is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the L-shaped piece 52 in an oblique direction.

[0051] The first clamping piece 51 is provided with a first gap 54, and the second clamping piece 53 is provided with a second gap 55; in this way, the elastic ability of the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece can be increased, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the fixed position of the first clamping piece and the rotation of the pipe on the second clamping piece.

[0052] Thus, when the up-down position of the pipe needs to be adjusted, the L-shaped piece can be rotated to rotate the L-shaped piece around the Y axis, so that the up-down position of the pipe can be adjusted.

[0053] When the outlet direction of the pipe needs to be adjusted, the outlet direction of the pipe can be adjusted by rotating in the second buckle.

[0054] Adjusting the up-down position of the pipe can adjust the different movement paths of the baseballs, and adjusting the outlet direction of the pipe can adjust the different movement paths and different outlet directions of the baseballs, so that the trainee can be better trained and the skill of the trainee can be improved.

[0055] It should be noted that the ordinal numbers first, second, third and the like in the specification are for the purpose of description and do not contain the order or imply the relative importance. For example, the first support, the second support and the third support.

[0056] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the utility model, and they are not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent embodiments or changes made without departing from the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
