Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sports equipment, specifically to a ball-serving device and a shooting system. Background Technology

[0002] Basketball is one of the most participated team sports in the world, and shooting practice is an essential part of every basketball player's daily training. When practicing shooting alone, the professional training system creates a high-intensity shooting practice scenario, and the effective training time will be seriously reduced due to the frequent retrieval of the ball during solo training.

[0003] Currently, while basketball machines can solve this problem well, existing basketball shooting machines generally suffer from technical bottlenecks such as redundant mechanical structures and high failure rates. In pursuit of multifunctionality, the equipment often integrates multiple independent subsystems, and the complex mechanical layout leads to crowded internal space and crisscrossing wiring, which not only increases the difficulty of assembly and debugging but also creates hidden dangers for later operation and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a ball-serving device and a shooting system, which can improve the problems of existing shooting machines, such as redundant mechanical structure, high failure rate, complex mechanical layout leading to crowded internal space and crisscrossing wiring, which increases the difficulty of assembly, debugging and maintenance.

[0005] This application provides a ball-serving device, comprising:

[0006] The device comprises a motor, a frame, a drive gear, a ball-splitting component, a launching area, and a launching component, wherein the drive gear, the ball-splitting component, the launching area, and the launching component are respectively disposed on the frame.

[0007] One end of the drive gear is connected to the motor, and the drive gear is provided with a window surface;

[0008] The ejector includes a driven gear, a first connecting rod, an ejector rod, and a second connecting rod. The driven gear is disposed opposite to the driving gear. The driven gear and the ejector rod are mounted on the first connecting rod. The ejector rod and the first end of the second connecting rod are connected by the first spring.

[0009] The motor drives the active gear to mesh with the driven gear and rotates the driven gear. The first connecting rod and the ejector rod rotate in coordination with the driven gear, pulling the first spring to produce elastic deformation. The ejector rod touches the ball-splitting component, and the ball on the ball-splitting component falls into the ejection area. When the open window faces the driven gear, the active gear and the driven gear disengage. The first spring triggers the rebound potential energy to drive the ejector rod to launch the ball.

[0010] Optionally, the serving device further includes: a second spring;

[0011] The ejector rod has a through structure and a protruding plate at one end of the ejector rod, and the driven gear has a first push rod, which is movably mounted on the through structure;

[0012] The driven gear is connected to the convex plate via the second spring, or

[0013] The driven gear is connected to the frame via the second spring.

[0014] Optionally, the driven gear drives the first push rod to move, and when the first push rod abuts against the end of the through structure, it drives the ejector rod to rotate.

[0015] Optionally, the ball-splitting component includes:

[0016] The support block is provided with a second top rod;

[0017] A sliding mechanism is located below the support block;

[0018] The third connecting rod, the bearing block and the sliding mechanism are respectively movably connected to the third connecting rod;

[0019] During the process of the ejector rod touching the ball-splitting component, the ejector rod pushes the sliding mechanism, which in turn drives the sliding mechanism to press against the second push rod. The bearing block rotates, placing the ball into the ejection area.

[0020] Optionally, the ball-splitting component further includes:

[0021] A locking pin and a third spring, wherein the locking pin is located below the bearing block, and the bearing block is connected to the frame through the third spring;

[0022] The ejector rod pushes the sliding mechanism, which pulls the third spring to produce elastic deformation. When the ejector rod separates from the sliding mechanism, the rebound potential energy of the third spring drives the bearing block to rotate, and the locking pin abuts against the bearing block.

[0023] Optionally, the serving device further includes: a fixed rod and a telescopic mechanism, wherein the fixed rod is disposed on the frame;

[0024] The second connecting rod is movably connected to the fixed rod, and the second end of the second connecting rod is connected to the telescopic structure;

[0025] The telescopic mechanism adjusts its telescopic length, causing the second connecting rod to rotate on the fixed rod, thereby adjusting the length of the first spring and adjusting the serving force.

[0026] On the other hand, this application also discloses a shooting system, including: a control unit for receiving target instructions;

[0027] The launching unit is used to launch the sphere;

[0028] A power adjustment unit is used to adjust the serving power of the launching unit. Based on the target command, the power adjustment unit adjusts the serving power of the launching unit.

[0029] A rotation unit is used to rotate the serving angle of the launching unit. Based on the target command, the rotation unit adjusts the serving angle of the launching unit.

[0030] Based on the target command, the launching unit sends the sphere to the target location.

[0031] Optionally, the shooting system further includes: a positioning unit, which is used to locate a target user. Based on the target instruction, the positioning unit locates the target user and obtains positioning information. According to the positioning information, the rotation unit and the force adjustment unit are adjusted so that the launching unit shoots the ball to the target position.

[0032] Optionally, the shooting system may also include: a voice unit;

[0033] Based on the target instruction, the positioning unit locates the target user's shooting gesture;

[0034] The system retrieves shooting gesture data from the database, compares and analyzes the user's shooting gestures with the shooting gesture data in the database, and obtains a judgment result.

[0035] If the judgment is inconsistent, the system will issue a voice prompt to adjust the gesture and / or record the user's shooting gesture and output the data analyzed from the judgment result to the target user's system.

[0036] Optionally, the positioning unit includes a shooting device and a monitoring device, wherein the shooting device is used to locate the target user, and the monitoring device is used to locate the target user and monitor a preset location;

[0037] The positioning unit receives the target instruction, the shooting device locates the target user, and the monitoring device switches the monitoring preset location to locate the target user, obtaining the location based on the first shooting data of the shooting device and the second shooting data of the monitoring device.

[0038] As described above, in the ball-launching device of this application, the transmission structure, in which the active gear drives the driven gear to propel the ball out via a launch rod, and the first spring resets the ball, requires only a single motor to drive the active gear to complete the entire process of energy storage, release, and reset, avoiding complex transmission chains and redundant components. Simultaneously, the reset action is synchronized with the ball distribution, achieving automated continuous launching, further improving system efficiency and reliability, and achieving structural optimization and high operational efficiency while ensuring complete functionality.

[0039] As described above, in the shooting system of this application, the user inputs a target command through an interactive interface or control terminal. The control unit receives and parses the target command, then sends control signals to the force adjustment unit and the rotation unit. The force adjustment unit adjusts the elasticity or power output intensity of the launching element according to the command, thereby setting a suitable launching force. Simultaneously, the rotation unit adjusts the direction of the launching unit according to the angle set by the target command, aligning it with the target shooting position. After both the force and angle are adjusted, the control unit controls the launching unit to initiate the ball-launching action, accurately launching the ball to the target position. The entire system can automatically complete the adjustment and launching process, achieving an intelligent and high-precision shooting training or entertainment experience.

Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0055] To address the technical bottlenecks of redundant mechanical structures and high failure rates in current basketball shooting machines, and in pursuit of multifunctionality, the equipment often integrates multiple independent subsystems. The complex mechanical layout leads to crowded internal space and crisscrossing wiring, which not only increases the difficulty of assembly and debugging, but also creates potential problems for later operation and maintenance.

[0056] The embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, addressing the aforementioned technical problems.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a ball-serving device 100 includes a motor (not shown), a frame 1, a drive gear 2, a ball-distributing component 6, a launching area 9, and a launching component. The drive gear 2, ball-distributing component 6, launching area 9, and launching component are respectively mounted on the frame 1. One end of the drive gear 2 is connected to the motor, and the drive gear 2 has a window surface 22. The launching component includes a driven gear 3, a first connecting rod 42, a launching rod 4, and a second connecting rod 7. The driven gear 3 is arranged opposite to the drive gear 2, and the driven gear 3 and the launching rod 4 are mounted on the first connecting rod 42. The first end of the ejector rod 4 is connected to the first end of the second connecting rod 7 by the first spring 5; the motor drives the driving gear 2 to mesh with the driven gear 3 and drives the driven gear 3 to rotate. The first connecting rod 42 and the ejector rod 4 rotate in coordination with the driven gear 3, pulling the first spring 5 to produce elastic deformation. The ejector rod 4 touches the ball-separating component 6, and the ball 8 on the ball-separating component 6 falls into the ejection area 9. When the open window surface 22 faces the driven gear 3, the meshing of the driving gear 2 and the driven gear 3 fails, and the first spring 5 triggers the rebound potential energy to drive the ejector rod 4 to launch the ball 8.

[0058] In some implementations, the motor is fixedly connected to the driving gear 2. The driving gear 2 has several first gear teeth 21 and one or more empty surfaces 22. The empty surface 22 is formed by removing some teeth from the driving gear 2. The empty surface 22 is a region without teeth. The empty surface 22 can be an arc surface or a parallel surface, which is not limited here. The driving gear 2 is arranged opposite to the driven gear 3. The driven gear 3 has several second gear teeth 32. When the driving gear 2 rotates a preset number of times, the first gear teeth 21 of the driving gear 2 mesh with the second gear teeth of the driven gear 3. It can be understood that the fixed connection between the motor and the driving gear 2 is to drive the driving gear 2 to rotate when the motor is driven. When the driving gear 2 or the motor is damaged, the corresponding components can be selectively disassembled.

[0059] In some implementations, the driven gear 3 and the ejector rod 4 are respectively fixed on the first connecting rod 42. The rotation of the driven gear 3 can drive the first connecting rod 42 and the ejector rod 4 to move together. One end of the ejector rod 4 is connected to one end of the first spring 5, and the other end of the first spring 5 is connected to the second connecting rod 7.

[0060] In some implementations, the ball-distributing component 6 is a mechanism for controlling the release of the balls 8, and for feeding the balls 8 one by one into the ejection zone 9, preventing multiple balls 8 from falling simultaneously or accidentally entering the ejection zone, thus avoiding blockage, jamming, or abnormal ejection. The ejection zone 9 is the positioning area for the balls 8 before they are ejected. After the balls 8 enter this area under the control of the ball-distributing component 6, they will be in a predetermined position, ensuring that the balls 8 can be accurately ejected when hit or pushed by the ejection rod 4. The ejection zone 9 is usually equipped with a guide structure or a limiting groove to keep the balls 8 stable and still before ejection, thereby ensuring that the balls 8 can be accurately ejected.

[0061] In some implementations, the motor rotates a preset number of revolutions, the drive gear 2 rotates in coordination, the drive gear 2 meshes with the driven gear 3, driving the driven gear 3 to rotate, the driven gear 3 drives the first connecting rod 42 and the ejector rod 4 to rotate, one end of the ejector rod 4 pulls the first spring 5 to produce elastic deformation, thereby accumulating rebound potential energy. During this period, the ejector rod 4 touches the ball-separating component 6, and the ball 8 on the ball-separating component 6 falls into the ejection area 9. When the open surface 22 of the drive gear 2 faces the driven gear 3, the first gear tooth 21 of the drive gear 2 disengages from the second gear tooth 32 of the driven gear 3, the drive gear 2 loses its limit on the driven gear 3, the rebound potential energy accumulated by the first spring 5 is triggered, driving the ejector rod 4 to rotate in the direction of the ball 8, ejecting the ball 8.

[0062] The transmission structure, in which the driving gear 2 drives the driven gear 3 to propel the launch rod 4 and launch the ball 8, with the first spring 5 resetting, requires only a single motor to drive the driving gear 2 to complete the entire process of energy storage, release, and reset, avoiding complex transmission chains and redundant components. Simultaneously, the reset action is synchronized with the ball distribution, achieving automated continuous launch, further improving system efficiency and reliability. While ensuring complete functionality, it achieves structural optimization and high operational efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the frame 1 is divided into an upper end, a middle end, and a lower end. The upper end of the frame 1 is provided with a catapult area 9 and a ball-splitting component 6. The middle end of the frame 1 is provided with a drive gear 2 and a catapult component. The lower end of the frame 1 is provided with a second connecting rod 7.

[0064] In some implementations, the upper end of the frame 1 is provided with a launch zone 9 and a ball-distributing component 6. This area is for positioning and distributing the ball. The ball-distributing component 6 is located above or in the middle of the ball 8's supply path and is responsible for controlling the sequential release of the balls 8. After release, the balls 8 fall into the launch zone 9, which is the positioning area before the balls 8 are officially launched, ensuring that the balls 8 are in an accurate ready-to-launch position. The middle end of the frame 1 is provided with a drive gear 2 and a launch component. This area is the driving part of the entire ball-launching device 100, ensuring that the launch rod 4 can stably launch the balls 8 located in the launch zone 9. The lower end of the frame 1 is provided with a second connecting rod 7. This area serves to fix and support the first spring 5 and the second connecting rod 7, keeping the first spring 5 stable during energy storage and rebound.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the ball-serving device 100 also includes a second spring 43, the ejector rod 4 is provided with a through structure 44 and a protruding plate 41 at one end of the ejector rod 4, the driven gear 3 is provided with a first push rod 31, the first push rod 31 is movably provided on the through structure 44; the driven gear 3 is connected to the protruding plate 41 through the second spring 43, or the driven gear is connected to the frame through the second spring.

[0066] In some implementations, the ejector rod 4 is provided with a through structure 44 and a protruding plate 41. The through structure 44 can be an elongated hole, a groove, or a guide hole, and its function is to provide a guiding path for the movement of the first push rod 31. The driven gear 3 is provided with a first push rod 31, which can be a columnar or hook-shaped structure or other protruding structure with sliding capability. One end of the first push rod 31 is movably disposed in the through structure 44 of the ejector rod 4. When the driven gear 3 rotates, the first push rod 31 will move (slide or swing) along the through structure 44 of the ejector rod 4. One end of the second spring 43 is connected to the protruding plate 41, and the other end of the second spring 43 is connected to the driven gear 3. The protruding plate 41 ensures that the second spring 43 and the driven gear 3 are horizontally connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the force state and the structure.

[0067] In some implementations, one end of the second spring 43 in the serving device 100 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the driven gear 3. One end of the second spring 43 is fixed to the frame 1, and the frame 1 is horizontally connected to the driven gear 3 through the second spring 43, ensuring the stability of the stress state and structure.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the driven gear 3 drives the first push rod 31 to move, and when the first push rod 31 abuts against the end of the through structure 44, it drives the ejector rod 4 to rotate.

[0069] In some implementations, the driven gear 3 drives the first push rod 31 to move during rotation. The first push rod 31 is set in the through structure 44 on the ejector rod 4. The first push rod 31 slides in the through structure 44 and does not immediately drive the ejector rod 4 to move. When the driven gear 3 continues to rotate, the first push rod 31 gradually moves to the end position of the through structure 44. When the push rod 31 contacts the end of the through structure 44, the first push rod 31 can no longer slide, and its rotational power begins to act on the ejector rod 4, thereby driving the ejector rod 4 to rotate. To address the issue of excessive initial impact force in the ball-serving device, where the driven gear 3 directly drives the launch rod 4 to rotate upon engagement, potentially causing the first connecting rod 42 to break, deform, or fail due to sudden high torque, a through-type structure 44 is provided on the launch rod 4. This allows the first push rod 31 to slide within the through-type structure 44 during the initial rotation of the driven gear 3, without applying direct rotational force to the launch rod 4. This effectively buffers the initial impact force. Only when the first push rod 42 slides to the end of the through-type structure 44 does it drive the launch rod 4 to rotate, achieving a smooth transition from sliding transmission to torsional transmission. This improves the mechanical reliability and service life of the ball-serving device 100, makes the transmission process smoother and more stable, and enhances the lifespan and stability of the ball-serving device.

[0070] In some implementations, the second spring 43 pulls the first push rod 31, keeping it at the top of the through structure 44. When the driving gear 2 drives the driven gear 3 to rotate, the tension of the second spring 43 causes the first push rod 31 to slide within the through structure 44. After the first push rod 31 gradually slides to the end of the through structure 44, it stops sliding and the rotational power begins to act directly on the ejector rod 4. When the driving gear 2 and the driven gear 3 disengage, the second spring 43 releases the stored rebound potential energy, resetting the first push rod 31 to the top of the through structure 44, ensuring that the first connecting rod 42 is effectively buffered each time the driving gear 2 drives the driven gear 3.

[0071] It should be noted that, for example Figure 4 As shown, the top position refers to the initial position of the first push rod 31 under the tension of the second spring 43, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the end of the through structure 44 refers to the limit that the first push rod 31 can reach when it moves within the through structure 44. When the first push rod 31 slides to this end position, it no longer has room to slide, and its subsequent rotational power begins to act directly on the ejector rod 4, driving the ejector rod 4 to rotate.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the ball-distributing component 6 includes a support block 62, which is provided with a second push rod 63; a sliding mechanism 64 located below the support block 62; and a third connecting rod 61, to which the support block 62 and the sliding mechanism 64 are movably connected respectively. During the process of the ejector rod 4 touching the ball-distributing component 6, the ejector rod 4 pushes the sliding mechanism 64, the sliding mechanism 64 presses against the second push rod 63, the support block 62 rotates, and the next ball 8 is placed into the ejection area 9.

[0073] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the ball-distributing component 6 includes a support block 62, a sliding mechanism 64, and a third connecting rod 61. The support block 62 and the sliding mechanism 64 are movably connected to the third connecting rod 61. The support block 62 is used to support and position the ball 8. The sliding mechanism 64 is located below the support block 62 and serves as a trigger mechanism to drive the ball-distributing action. The third connecting rod 61 acts as a connection and rotational support, allowing the support block 62 and the sliding mechanism 64 to rotate around the third connecting rod 61. In addition, the support block 62 is provided with a second push rod 63, which receives the pushing force from the sliding mechanism 64 during the ball-distributing process, thereby triggering the tilting or rotation of the support block 62 to release the ball.

[0074] It should be noted that the position of the second push rod 63 is not fixed and can be set at any position of the support block 62, as long as the sliding mechanism 64 can contact the second push rod 63 and generate sufficient top pressure during the movement to drive the support block 62 to rotate or tilt, so that the ball 8 is released from the support block 62 to the ejection area 9.

[0075] In some implementations, the driven gear 3 drives the first connecting rod 42 and the ejector rod 4 to rotate, thereby stretching the first spring 5. During the movement, the ejector rod 4 pushes the sliding mechanism 64 to displace, and the sliding mechanism 64 presses against the top rod 63 on the bearing block 62, causing the bearing block 62 to tilt or rotate with the cooperation of the third connecting rod 61, thus placing the ball 8 into the ejection area 9. Through this structural design, the ejection action and the ball distribution action are linked, ensuring the synchronization of actions while also improving the stability and automation efficiency of the ball-serving device 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the ball-separating component 6 also includes a locking pin 65 and a third spring 66. The locking pin 65 is located below the bearing block 62, and the bearing block 62 is connected to the frame 1 through the third spring 66. The ejector rod 4 pushes the sliding mechanism 64, which pulls the third spring 66 to produce elastic deformation. The ejector rod 4 separates from the sliding mechanism 64, and the rebound potential energy of the third spring 66 drives the bearing block 62 to rotate. The locking pin 65 abuts against the bearing block 62.

[0077] In some implementations, the ball-splitting component 6 also includes a locking pin 65 and a third spring 66. The locking pin 65 is located below the support block 62. One end of the third spring 66 is connected to the support block 62, and the other end is connected to the frame 1. The third spring 66 is used to pull the support block 62 to maintain the state of supporting the ball 8. The locking pin 65 is used to lock the support block 62 to prevent the third spring 66 from pulling the support block 62 to excessive displacement, so that the support block 62 cannot support the ball 8 when it falls.

[0078] It should be noted that the frame 8 may be equipped with fixed rods, and the third spring 66 may be connected to the frame 8 or to a fixed rod on the frame 8.

[0079] In some implementations, during the movement of the sliding mechanism 64, it contacts the second push rod 63 on the support block 62 and generates pressure, causing the support block 62 to rotate under the pressure, thereby releasing the ball and letting it fall into the ejection area 9 to complete the ball distribution action. At the same time, the rotational movement of the sliding mechanism 64 will also pull the third spring 66 connected to the support block 62, causing it to undergo elastic deformation and store rebound potential energy. When the ejection rod 4 separates from the sliding mechanism 64, the third spring 66 begins to release the rebound force, driving the support block 62 to rotate back to the initial position to restore the receiving state. The locking pin 65 limits and supports the support block 62 to prevent it from shifting or shaking due to the excessive rebound of the third spring 66, ensuring the stable positioning of the support block 62 and ensuring the smooth receiving of subsequent balls.

[0080] In some embodiments, the launching device 100 further includes a fixed rod 11 and a telescopic mechanism 10, and the fixed rod 11 is mounted on the frame 1; the second connecting rod 7 is movably connected to the fixed rod 11, and the second end of the second connecting rod 7 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 10; the telescopic mechanism 10 adjusts the telescopic length, drives the second connecting rod 7 to rotate on the fixed rod 11, and adjusts the length of the first spring 5 to adjust the serving force.

[0081] In some implementations, the serving device 100 further includes a fixed rod 11 and a telescopic mechanism 10. The fixed rod 11 is mounted on the frame 1, and the second connecting rod 7 is movably connected to the fixed rod 11, i.e., it rotates around the fixed rod 11. The second end of the second connecting rod 7 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 10. The telescopic mechanism 10 can be a spiral push rod, a gas spring, a slide rail assembly, or other structural components with adjustable length, used to adjust the rotation of the second connecting rod 7, thereby adjusting the length of the first spring 5 and thus adjusting the serving force.

[0082] It should be noted that the first end of the second connecting rod 7 is the end connected to the ejection rod 4, and the second end of the second connecting rod is the end connected to the telescopic mechanism 10.

[0083] In some implementations, the telescopic mechanism 10 changes its length, causing the second connecting rod 7 connected to it to shift. This causes the second connecting rod 7 to rotate around its connection point with the fixed rod 11. The rotation of the second connecting rod 7 affects the length of the first spring 5, influencing the potential energy of the spring's rebound and thus affecting the potential energy that drives the launch rod 4 to rotate. This allows for adjustment of the serving force. For example, when the telescopic mechanism 10 is extended, the rotation angle of the second connecting rod 7 increases, the spring preload increases, the rebound potential energy is enhanced, and the serving force of the launch rod 4 increases. Conversely, when the telescopic mechanism 10 is shortened, the angle of the second connecting rod 7 decreases, the rebound potential energy decreases, and the serving force of the launch rod 4 decreases. Users can quickly adjust the serving intensity according to actual needs, adapting to different distances or scenarios, improving the practicality and ease of operation of the equipment. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for complex electrical control or multi-stage transmission systems, featuring a compact design that is easy to assemble and maintain, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and failure rates.

[0084] In some implementations, the ball-serving device 100 also includes a rotating mechanism (not shown), which is linked to the motor via a fixed connection or transmission device (such as a gear set, coupling, or belt drive). After the motor starts, the output shaft drives the gear to rotate, and then transmits power to the rotating mechanism through the transmission mechanism, causing the rotating mechanism to rotate at a preset angle and speed. The rotating mechanism can adopt a disc or rotating arm design to rotate the ball-serving device 100 to a preset position, thereby meeting the needs of different ball-serving angles and achieving a simple structure that is easy to assemble and maintain.

[0085] In some implementations, a shooting system 200 is also disclosed. The shooting system 200 includes a control unit 210 for receiving target instructions; a launching unit 220 for launching the ball 8; a force adjustment unit 230 for adjusting the launching force of the launching unit 220, which adjusts the launching force of the launching unit 220 based on the target instructions; a rotation unit 240 for rotating the launching angle of the launching unit 220, which adjusts the launching angle of the launching unit 220 based on the target instructions; and the launching unit 220 sends the ball 8 to the target position based on the target instructions.

[0086] In some implementations, the control unit 210 receives target commands input by the user, including parameters such as launch force, launch angle, and target position. The control unit 210 can be a microprocessor, embedded system, PLC, or other control device with logic control capabilities, and interacts with other units for data communication and control signals. The launching unit 220 launches the ball 8 from the launch area to the target position. The launching unit 220 includes a mechanical ejection structure, an electric propulsion mechanism, a pneumatic launch mechanism, or other forms of powered launch mechanism to output launch kinetic energy. The launching unit 220 can be mounted on a rotatable platform to achieve multi-angle launches. The force adjustment unit 230 is linked to the launching unit 220 and is used to adjust the output force of the launching unit 220. The force adjustment unit 230 includes a spring preload adjustment structure, a motor voltage regulation structure, a pneumatic or hydraulic adjustment device, etc. The control unit 210 controls the force adjustment unit 230 to change the output energy of the launching unit 220 according to the target command, thereby precisely controlling the flight distance and speed of the ball 8. The rotating unit 240 is connected to the launching unit 220 and is used to adjust the launching angle of the launching unit 220. The rotating unit 240 may include components such as a rotating motor, a reduction mechanism, and a rotating support to achieve angle adjustment in the horizontal or vertical direction. The control unit 210 regulates the rotating unit 240 according to the target position command to ensure that the launching unit 220 is aligned with the target position.

[0087] In some implementations, the user inputs a target command through a human-machine interface or control terminal. The control unit 210 receives and parses the command, then sends control signals to the force adjustment unit 230 and the rotation unit 240. The force adjustment unit 230 adjusts the elasticity or power output intensity of the launching element according to the command, thereby setting a suitable launching force. Simultaneously, the rotation unit 240 adjusts the direction of the launching unit 220 according to the angle set by the target command, aligning it with the target shooting position. After both the force and angle are adjusted, the control unit 210 controls the launching unit 220 to initiate the launching action, accurately launching the ball 8 to the target position. The entire system can automatically complete the adjustment and launching process, achieving an intelligent and high-precision shooting training or entertainment experience.

[0088] In some implementations, the shooting system 200 also includes a positioning unit 250, which is used to locate the target user. Based on the target command, the positioning unit 250 locates the target user, obtains positioning information, and adjusts the rotation unit 240 and the force adjustment unit 230 according to the positioning information, so that the launching unit 220 launches the ball 8 to the target position.

[0089] In some implementations, the positioning unit 250 may include any one or a combination of infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, camera modules, radar modules, laser rangefinders, visual recognition systems, UWB modules, RFID, etc., to acquire the target user's location information in space. The positioning unit 250 is communicatively connected to the control unit 210 to identify and track the target user's location in real time based on the user's positioning requirements in the target command, acquiring the user's spatial coordinates or relative orientation and other positioning information. After receiving the positioning information provided by the positioning unit 250, the control unit 210 can calculate the launch path based on the positioning information and automatically control the rotation unit 240 and the force adjustment unit 230 to adjust the angle and force respectively, thereby achieving precise directional ball launch.

[0090] In some implementations, the control unit 210 first receives the target command issued by the user. The positioning unit 250, under the command of the control unit 210, starts working, acquiring the target user's location data in real time through sensing, image processing, or spatial ranging, and sending the positioning information to the control unit 210. Based on this positioning information, the control unit 210 performs path calculation and angle parameter analysis, controlling the rotation unit 240 to automatically adjust the launching angle of the launching unit 220, ensuring the launching direction is towards the target user; simultaneously, it controls the force adjustment unit 230 to adjust the launching force, ensuring the ball 8 accurately reaches the target user's location. After adjustment, the control unit 210 issues a launch command, and the launching unit 220 accurately launches the ball 8 to the user's location, completing the intelligent and automated fixed-point shooting service process.

[0091] In some embodiments, the control unit 210 has preset target position parameters. Based on the user's target command, the control unit 210 controls the rotation unit 240 and the force adjustment unit 230 to automatically adjust the serving direction and force, so that the launching unit 220 accurately delivers the ball 8 to one or more designated locations. For example, the launching unit 220 quickly launches the ball 8 to the three-point line, the corner area, the mid-range area, or the position under the basket to train the reaction to catching and shooting, as well as the running and positioning, thereby creating a training environment that is closer to actual combat. It can not only be used for individual fixed-point training, but also combined with multi-point changing modes for continuous serving, realizing diverse exercises such as running to catch, catching and shooting, and turning and shooting.

[0092] In some embodiments, the user or system can pre-set one or more target position parameters. Based on user operation, the control unit 210 controls the rotation unit 240 and the force adjustment unit 230 to automatically adjust the serving direction and force according to the preset target position parameters, so that the launching unit 220 accurately throws the ball 8 to the designated area. For example, the user can set one or more sets of training shooting points through the system (smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets), such as multiple angle positions outside the three-point line (e.g., 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°). Each point can be set with a specific number of shots (e.g., 5 shots per point). The control unit 210 completes the serving task of the corresponding points in sequence according to the set order. The control unit 210 converts the user's target position parameters into serving angle and force parameters, automatically controls the rotation unit 240 and the force adjustment unit 230, and drives the launching unit 220 to accurately throw the ball 8 to the user, thereby helping the player to conduct fixed-point, high-intensity shooting training.

[0093] In some embodiments, the shooting system 200 further includes: a voice unit; a positioning unit 250 locating the shooting gesture of the target user based on the target instruction; acquiring shooting gesture data from the database, comparing and analyzing the user's shooting gesture with the shooting gesture data in the database to obtain a judgment result; if the judgment is inconsistent, issuing a voice for gesture adjustment and / or recording the user's shooting gesture and the data analyzed by the judgment result and outputting it to the target user's system.

[0094] In some implementations, the control unit 210 drives the positioning unit 250 based on target commands to track the target user's movements and acquire shooting gesture information during the shooting process, including but not limited to hand release trajectory, arm swing amplitude, wrist rotation angle, knee flexion angle, and other posture parameters. Standard gesture data is pre-stored in a database. The control unit 210 retrieves the data model of the standard shooting gesture from the database, which includes one or more typical shooting postures conforming to technical action specifications and their corresponding parameters. The control unit 210 compares and analyzes the user's real-time acquired gesture information with the standard gesture data and generates an action judgment result through a similarity judgment algorithm. When there is a significant deviation between the user's gesture and the standard database gesture data, the control unit 210 obtains an inconsistent judgment result. The system calls the voice unit according to the specific dimension of the deviation and outputs corresponding voice prompts, such as "wrist angle too low," "release point too late," "shooting action not standard," etc., to assist the user in correcting their actions. Simultaneously, the control unit 210 can store the user's current shooting motion data, the process data of comparison and analysis with standard hand gestures, and the judgment results, and output them to the target user's system for the user to view training feedback reports or conduct subsequent data analysis and training optimization. Based on the judgment results of the control unit 210, the voice unit can provide real-time feedback, immediately pointing out motion problems and assisting the user in forming the correct technical path. In addition, the data of the target user during training can be recorded and analyzed by the control unit 210 to form a personalized shooting training file, which is output to the target user's system to facilitate subsequent training strategy optimization and further improve training efficiency and the standardization of movements.

[0095] In some embodiments, the positioning unit 250 includes a shooting device 251 and a monitoring device 252. The shooting device 251 is used to locate a target user, and the monitoring device 252 is used to locate the target user and monitor a preset location. When the positioning unit 250 receives a target instruction, the shooting device 251 locates the target user, and the monitoring device 252 switches the monitoring preset location to locate the target user. The positioning information is obtained based on the first shooting data of the shooting device 251 and the second shooting data of the monitoring device 252.

[0096] In some implementations, the shooting device 251 is mounted on the shooting system 200 to capture image information of the target user at close range. The monitoring device 252 is positioned around the training area or at a higher location, providing a wide-angle view and environmental monitoring capabilities to monitor surrounding personnel activities and environmental changes in real time, as well as to capture the target user's location. When the shooting system 200 is activated, the control unit 210 activates the positioning unit 250 based on the target command. First, the shooting system 200 establishes a data connection with the monitoring device 252 via a wireless connection (e.g., WIFI or Bluetooth communication protocol) to achieve information exchange. The control unit 210 sends a task command to the monitoring device 252, instructing it to switch from monitoring mode to locate the target user's position and cooperate with the shooting device 251 to track and identify the target user. Based on the target user's preset actions, the shooting device 251 or the monitoring device 252 determines the target user and transmits the information to the control unit 210. The control unit 210 fuses the first and second captured data to obtain more accurate positioning information.

[0097] In one embodiment, based on a target command, the control unit 210 drives the shooting device 251 to acquire first shooting data. This first shooting data includes shooting posture, hand position, release angle, body posture, and movement trajectory, enabling detailed-level capture and analysis of the user's training movements. The control unit 210 then drives the monitoring device 252 to acquire second shooting data. This second shooting data includes the overall position coordinates of the target user, the spatial distance between the user and the ball-serving device 100, identification information of the training area, the user's movement trajectory, identification information of the shooting point, and environmental background images. Through the second shooting data collected by the monitoring device 252, the shooting system 200 can achieve real-time positional awareness of the user in the training area. Combined with the action analysis results of the shooting device 251, complete user positioning information is formed, further improving the overall positioning effect of the target user and ensuring more precise adjustment of the ball-serving angle and force.

[0098] In one embodiment, the target instruction refers to the control signal issued by the user's system (e.g., user terminal, training management platform, mobile application, etc.) and received by the control unit 210 in the shooting system 200. The target instruction may include specific requirements for the serving action, such as parameter settings for serving power, serving angle, serving position, training rhythm, and serving frequency, or it may include functional instructions such as user position positioning, shooting gesture recognition, training mode switching, and voice / gesture interaction response. After receiving the target instruction, the control unit 210 coordinates the various functional modules within the control system (e.g., power adjustment unit, rotation unit, launching unit, positioning unit, etc.) to execute corresponding actions, so that the serving process accurately matches the user's training needs. Through the setting and control of the target instruction, the intelligent operation and highly personalized training effect of the shooting system 200 are achieved, thereby significantly improving the system's practicality and human-computer interaction experience.
