Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rugby training technology, and more specifically, to a multi-functional training post for English rugby. Background Technology
[0002] In rugby training, traditional training aids have many limitations, prompting the development of new training posts, especially in terms of ease of rugby collection and cushioning performance. Most existing training posts only provide basic support and markers to assist players in basic training such as passing, aiming, and dribbling around obstacles. However, in actual high-intensity training, the rugby ball frequently collides with the posts. Because traditional posts lack any cushioning design, each collision is a near-rigid impact. This not only makes the posts prone to structural damage from frequent impacts, such as surface dents and deformation, significantly reducing their lifespan and increasing replacement costs, but also severely damages the rugby ball itself. The ball's surface is easily scratched and damaged, and the internal air pressure structure becomes unbalanced due to the impact, altering the ball's normal trajectory in the air and seriously interfering with the player's ball control during subsequent training, greatly reducing training accuracy.
[0003] Chinese patent application number CN217067589U discloses a novel rugby blocking sled frame. This design, by adding a first and second support beam between the base and the uprights, achieves a more even distribution of force, significantly increasing overall structural strength. The target pad mounting frame employs a crank-slider structure, allowing for adjustable propulsion distance and force through the selection of springs with different wire diameters. Furthermore, it incorporates a set screw to flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the human-shaped target, better meeting the training needs of players in different positions. However, due to the lack of a buffer mechanism, the near-rigid collision between the rugby ball and the training stakes at high speed causes significant damage to both. The training stakes quickly exhibit various structural damages, such as severe surface dents at the impact point and uneven stress leading to bending deformation. This not only drastically shortens their normal service life but also places an unbearable burden on training institutions due to frequent repair and replacement costs. Simultaneously, the rugby ball itself is also "injured." The damage was severe; the ball's skin was frequently scratched and torn, and the internal air pressure structure that maintained flight stability became unbalanced under repeated violent impacts, causing the rugby ball's flight trajectory to become unpredictable. Players lost all feel for the ball when relying on past experience to control it, and their accuracy plummeted, greatly hindering the improvement of training results.
[0004] Therefore, a multi-functional training post for rugby is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional training pile for rugby. Through the cooperation between the various parts of the buffer assembly, when the rugby ball hits the training pile at high speed, multiple first hinge blocks, first rotating blocks, buffer springs, second rotating blocks, and second hinge blocks in the buffer assembly work together. The impact force generated by the impact causes the first rotating block to rotate around the first hinge block, and the buffer spring is then compressed and deformed, gradually absorbing and dispersing the huge instantaneous impact force, effectively preventing the training pile from being damaged by rigid impact, and greatly extending the service life of the training pile.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A multi-functional training post for rugby includes a base, an adjustment component at the upper end of the base, a buffer component at the upper end of the adjustment component, a training post at the upper end of the buffer component, and a pair of symmetrical collection components at the middle of the training post.
[0008] The adjustment assembly includes a mounting housing fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. A drive bracket is fixedly connected inside the mounting housing. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive bracket, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.
[0009] Furthermore, the interior of the mounting housing is rotatably connected to a pair of first rotating shafts and a pair of second rotating shafts. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of first rotating shafts, and each pair of worm gears is meshed with a worm. A first rotating rod is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of first rotating shafts, and a second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of second rotating shafts. A connecting rod is hinged to one end of the second rotating shaft and the first rotating shaft on the same side.
[0010] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a plurality of first hinge blocks fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting housing. A first rotating block is hinged to the upper end of each of the plurality of first hinge blocks. A buffer spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the first rotating blocks. A second rotating block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buffer spring. A second hinge block is hinged to the middle of the second rotating block. A connecting shaft is provided between the plurality of second hinge blocks. One end of each of the plurality of second hinge blocks is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the training pile is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft, a collection groove is provided in the middle of the training pile, and a sliding groove is provided at the upper end of the training pile.
[0012] Furthermore, the collection assembly includes a pair of symmetrical anti-collision collection nets, the lower ends of the pair of anti-collision collection nets are respectively fixedly connected to the middle of a pair of connecting rods, the upper ends of the pair of connecting rods are fixedly connected to limit rods, and the limit rods are slidably connected to the sliding grooves at the upper ends of the training piles.
[0013] Furthermore, the overall shape of the anti-collision collection net is arc-shaped.
[0014] Furthermore, a strip-shaped hole is provided in the middle of the mounting housing to accommodate a pair of connecting rods.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This solution uses the cooperation between the various parts of the buffer assembly. When the rugby ball hits the training pile at high speed, the multiple first hinge blocks, first rotating blocks, buffer springs, second rotating blocks and second hinge blocks in the buffer assembly work together. The impact force generated by the impact causes the first rotating block to rotate around the first hinge block. The buffer spring is then compressed and deformed, gradually absorbing and dispersing the huge impact force in an instant. This effectively avoids the training pile from being damaged by rigid impact, greatly extends the service life of the training pile, and at the same time protects the rugby ball from serious damage, ensuring that the ball's flight trajectory is stable in the air, allowing the player to always accurately control the ball's movement and maintain a good training feel.
[0017] (2) This solution adjusts the components of the assembly to cooperate with the components of the collection assembly. During training, the anti-collision collection net is in the open state. Its arc structure extends to both sides, which not only expands the buffer range for the impact of the rugby ball, but also does not hinder the normal training movements of the players. It can effectively prevent the rugby ball from running far away due to the failure to hit the training post. When it is necessary to collect the rugby ball, the connecting rod drives the anti-collision collection net to slide along the sliding groove at the top of the training post by adjusting the linkage of the assembly, so that the anti-collision collection nets on both sides can be quickly closed. At this time, it can be gathered into a single training post, and training around the post can begin. The gathered anti-collision collection net can also play a certain anti-collision role, further protecting the athletes. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, a multi-functional training post for rugby is provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a base 1, an adjustment component 2 at the upper end of the base 1, a buffer component 3 at the upper end of the adjustment component 2, a training post 4 at the upper end of the buffer component 3, and a pair of symmetrical collection components 5 at the middle of the training post 4.
[0027] The adjustment assembly 2 includes a mounting housing 201 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. A drive bracket 202 is fixedly connected inside the mounting housing 201. A servo motor 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive bracket 202. A worm gear 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 203.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, a pair of first rotating shafts 205 and a pair of second rotating shafts 206 are rotatably connected inside the housing 201. A worm gear 207 is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of first rotating shafts 205. Both worm gears 207 are meshed with worms 204. A first rotating rod 208 is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of first rotating shafts 205. A second rotating rod 209 is fixedly connected to the middle of each pair of second rotating shafts 206. A connecting rod 210 is hinged to one end of the second rotating shaft 206 on the same side and the first rotating shaft 205.
[0029] Reference Figures 2-4As shown, the buffer assembly 3 includes a plurality of first hinge blocks 301 fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting housing 201. A first rotating block 302 is hinged to the upper end of each of the plurality of first hinge blocks 301. A buffer spring 303 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first rotating block 302. A second rotating block 304 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buffer spring 303. A second hinge block 305 is hinged to the middle of the second rotating block 304. A connecting shaft 306 is provided between the plurality of second hinge blocks 305. One end of each of the plurality of second hinge blocks 305 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting shaft 306.
[0030] This solution incorporates a buffer assembly 3, utilizing multiple first hinge blocks 301 fixed to the upper end of the mounting housing 201 as base points. When the rugby ball impacts the training post 4, the first rotating block 302, hinged to the first hinge block 301, can rotate flexibly. The buffer spring 303 connected to its upper end is compressed or stretched, converting the instantaneous, enormous impact force into elastic potential energy for storage, preventing rigid impact from directly acting on the training post. Simultaneously, the second rotating block 304 connected to the upper end of the buffer spring 303 rotates around the second hinge block 305, further dispersing the impact force. Through the coordinated operation of these components, the training post 4 is effectively protected from structural damage, extending its service life and reducing equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, the buffer assembly 3 can also reduce rugby ball impact damage, maintain the ball's normal flight trajectory, stabilize the player's control, and improve training effectiveness.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, the lower end of the training post 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 306, a collection groove is provided in the middle of the training post 4, and a sliding groove is provided at the upper end of the training post 4.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown, the collection component 5 includes a pair of symmetrical anti-collision collection nets 501. The lower ends of the pair of anti-collision collection nets 501 are respectively fixedly connected to the middle of a pair of connecting rods 210. The upper ends of the pair of connecting rods 210 are fixedly connected to limit rods 502. The limit rods 502 are slidably connected to the sliding groove at the upper end of the training pile 4.
[0033] This solution utilizes the characteristic that its lower end is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod 201. During training, the arc-shaped anti-collision collection net 501 extends to both sides, which expands the buffer range for the rugby ball impact and reduces the range of ball scattering. For example, when the player's pass is deviated greatly, the ball can slow down when it hits the arc-shaped net, preventing it from flying out of the field.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown, the overall shape of the anti-collision collection net 501 is arc-shaped.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, the mounting housing 201 has a strip-shaped hole in the middle for a pair of connecting rods 210 to pass through.
[0036] Specific implementation process: First, the servo motor 203 is started. After receiving the command, the servo motor 203 starts to run, and its output end drives the worm gear 204 to rotate synchronously. Since the worm gear 204 is meshed with the worm wheel 207 installed in the middle of the first rotating shaft 205, the rotation of the worm gear 204 causes the worm wheel 207 to rotate accordingly. The pair of worm wheels 207 respectively drive the first rotating shaft 205, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate, so that the first rotating rod 208 in the middle of the first rotating shaft 205 performs a circular motion together. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 205 and the second rotating shaft 206 are hinged on the same side through the connecting rod 210. During the rotation of the first rotating shaft 205, the connecting rod 210 pulls the second rotating shaft 206 to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 206 to rotate. The second rotating rod 209 in the middle of shaft 206 moves in coordination. Through the linkage of the first rotating rod 208 and the second rotating rod 209, and the transmission of the connecting rod 210, the position adjustment of the connected buffer component 3 and collection component 5 is achieved. Ultimately, this achieves the purpose of adjusting the height of the training post 4 or changing the opening and closing state of the anti-collision collection net 501. In daily training, when the rugby ball hits the training post 4 at a certain speed, the impact force is transmitted to the buffer component 3. Since the lower end of the training post 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 306, the impact force causes the connecting shaft 306 to have a displacement tendency. The connecting shaft 306 drives the multiple second hinge blocks 305 fixedly connected to it to move. The second rotating block 304 hinged in the middle of the second hinge block 305 rotates accordingly. At this time, the second rotating block 304 rotates. The buffer spring 303, fixedly connected to the lower end of block 304, is stretched or compressed. The lower end of the buffer spring 303 is fixedly connected to the first rotating block 302, which is hinged to the first hinge block 301 fixed to the upper end of the mounting housing 201. During the deformation of the buffer spring 303, the first rotating block 302 rotates around the first hinge block 301. Through the coordinated operation of multiple first hinge blocks 301, first rotating blocks 302, buffer springs 303, second rotating blocks 304, and second hinge blocks 305, the huge impact force generated by the rugby ball impact is gradually absorbed and dispersed. For example, when the rugby ball hits the training post 4 at high speed, the impact force causes the second hinge block 305 in front to move forward and downward, and the corresponding buffer spring 303... Compression, the first rotating block 302 rotates clockwise, assuming a top-down view, converting the concentrated impact force into the elastic potential energy of the spring and the rotational kinetic energy of each hinge component, effectively preventing the training pile from being damaged by rigid impact, protecting the rugby ball from serious damage, and ensuring its flight trajectory is stable. During training, the anti-collision collection net 501 is initially in the open state, and its arc structure extends to both sides. On the one hand, the arc design expands the buffer range for rugby ball impact. Even if the player passes or dribbles the ball and fails to hit the training pile 4, the rugby ball flying to both sides has a greater chance of hitting the anti-collision collection net 501, slowing down the ball's speed and preventing the ball from scattering too far. On the other hand, the unfolded anti-collision collection net 501 will not hinder the player's normal training movements, ensuring the smooth progress of training.
