Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reaction training equipment, specifically relating to a multi-mode ball-catching machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN219764491U, entitled "A Quick-Hand Grab Stick Machine," discloses a device primarily for entertainment and reaction ability testing. This grab stick machine is widely used in leisure and entertainment venues, school teaching activities, and psychology experiments. This type of device uses mechanical or gravity-controlled rapid descent of a stick, requiring the user to grab the falling stick within a short time to complete the grabbing action, thereby training hand-eye coordination. Due to its simple structure and low cost, this type of grab stick machine is relatively common.

[0003] However, these devices also have technical flaws. First, they are limited to a single mode, with only the stick falling directly. They lack other grabbing modes such as falling at a certain speed or controlling the falling height. Second, the stick needs to be picked up manually after it falls, which leads to problems such as inconvenience for some users and the stick being lost due to untimely retrieval. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-mode ball-grabbing machine to solve the problem of the current stick-grabbing machine having a single grabbing mode and the need for manual pickup after the stick falls.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-mode ball grabbing machine, including a ball grabbing machine shell, the front of the ball grabbing machine shell is the first side of the ball grabbing machine, and the bottom of the ball grabbing machine shell is the bottom surface of the ball grabbing machine; a human-computer interaction component is provided on the first side of the ball grabbing machine, which is used to interact with the user; a number of small ball control components are provided inside the ball grabbing machine, and the small ball control components are set in the small ball storage cavity, which has a one-sided opening structure, with one side of the opening of the small ball storage cavity located on the bottom surface of the ball grabbing machine.

[0006] The ball control assembly includes a ball control motor, a ball connection cable connected to the motor shaft of the ball control motor, and a ball part fixedly connected to the other end of the ball connection cable. The ball control motor is used to control the ball part.

[0007] The ball-grabbing machine has a control component inside its casing. The control component is used to control the human-machine interaction component, the ball control component, and to process the information obtained by the human-machine interaction component.

[0008] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction component includes a display component, which is used to display text and color information.

[0009] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction component includes a button component, which contains several buttons and is used to operate the ball control component.

[0010] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction component includes a lighting component, which displays multiple colors to cooperate with the ball control component for control.

[0011] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction component includes a voice component, which is used to play voice information.

[0012] Furthermore, a winding assembly is also provided on the motor shaft of the ball control motor, and the winding assembly is perpendicular to the axis of the motor shaft of the ball control motor.

[0013] Furthermore, the ball control assembly also includes a ball limiting component, which is used to limit the position of the ball that is about to fall; the ball control assembly also includes a limit motor, which is used to control the ball limiting component.

[0014] Furthermore, the ball-grabbing machine casing is equipped with a power interface, which is used to provide power to the power-consuming components of the multi-mode ball-grabbing machine. The power interface is electrically connected to the control components, human-machine interaction components, and ball control components.

[0015] Furthermore, a battery assembly is installed inside the ball-grabbing machine's casing. The battery assembly provides power to the power-consuming components of the multi-mode ball-grabbing machine. The power interface is used to charge the battery assembly. The battery assembly is electrically connected to the power interface, and it is also electrically connected to the control assembly, the human-machine interface assembly, and the ball control assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, the side opposite the first side of the ball grabber is the second side of the ball grabber. A hinged assembly is fixedly installed on the second side of the ball grabber. The outer shell of the ball grabber is fixed to the wall through the hinged assembly. The hinged assembly is used to fold up the hinged assembly when the multi-mode ball grabber is not in use to reduce the space occupied by the hinged assembly and the multi-mode ball grabber assembly.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this multi-mode ball-grabbing machine are as follows: A human-machine interface component is provided on the first side of the machine. This component, under the control of the control component, can output different information to the user, prompting the user to grab different balls, thus providing multiple ball-grabbing modes. The ball control motor, through the rotation of its shaft, can not only release the ball but also control the ball's falling speed by adjusting the rotation speed and the falling height by controlling the number of rotations. It can also rotate to retrieve the ball, ensuring timely ball recovery and avoiding manual picking up or loss due to untimely ball retrieval. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 3 This is a second side view schematic diagram of a multi-mode ball grabber. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a more detailed description of a multi-mode ball-grabbing machine.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, a multi-mode ball-grabbing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a ball-grabbing machine housing 100, the front of which is a first side surface 110, and the bottom of which is a bottom surface 130. A human-computer interaction component is provided on the first side surface 110 for information interaction with the user. Several small ball control components are provided inside the ball-grabbing machine, each housed in a small ball receiving cavity 400. The small ball receiving cavity 400 has an opening on one side, with the opening side of the cavity located on the bottom surface 130. Each small ball control component includes a small ball control motor 310, with a small ball connecting cable 320 connected to the motor shaft of the motor 310. The other end of the small ball connecting cable 320 is fixedly connected to a small ball part 330. The small ball control motor 310 controls the small ball part 330. The ball-grabbing machine housing 100 has a control component inside, which is used to control the human-machine interaction component, the ball control component, and process the information obtained by the human-machine interaction component.

[0023] In use, the control component sends display information to the human-machine interface component, which prompts the user with information about the balls to be grasped, such as color and number. When the control component receives a signal to release the ball part 330 from the ball control motor 310, it can, according to a preset, immediately or delay the release, thus providing the user with multiple grasping modes for the ball part 330. Before the ball control motor 310 releases the ball part 330, the ball connecting cable 320 is wound around the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310. Here, the direction in which the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 rotates to release the wound ball connecting cable 320 is defined as reverse rotation, and the direction in which the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 rotates to wind the released ball connecting cable 320 back onto the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 is defined as forward rotation. When the control component reverses the rotation of the ball control motor 310, the ball connection cable 320 wound around the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 is released, and the ball 330 will then fall freely under the influence of gravity. The user can grab the ball 330 during its descent. The descent speed of the ball can be controlled by adjusting the reverse rotation speed of the ball control motor 310, and the descent height of the ball 330 can be controlled by adjusting the number of rotations of the ball control motor 310, thus accommodating users of different ages and heights.

[0024] Because multiple sets of ball control components are set up, there are multiple ball sections 330. During use, the ball sections 330 can be designed with different colors, thereby providing users with more grasping modes.

[0025] After the ball section 330 is released, it needs to be retrieved. At this time, the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 will rotate forward, so that the ball connecting cable 320 is rewound onto the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310 in preparation for release again.

[0026] In some embodiments, the human-computer interaction component includes a display component 210 for displaying text and color information. This display component 210 can show the current operating status of the multi-mode ball-grabbing machine, such as "awaiting release," "releasing," or "ball retrieval," allowing the user to more intuitively understand the machine's current status and prepare for the grabbing action. Furthermore, it can work in conjunction with the ball control component to provide more diverse grabbing modes. For example, the display component 210 can display "black" text in red, instructing the user to grab a ball of the same color or a ball of the color indicated by the text, thus enriching the grabbing modes and providing diverse entertainment and / or training content.

[0027] Understandably, the human-computer interaction component includes a button component 220, which contains several buttons for operating the ball control component. These buttons enable the user to control the multi-mode ball grabber, such as controlling the multi-mode ball grabber to release or retrieve the ball part 330, thereby improving the user-friendliness of the multi-mode ball grabber and providing convenience for the user.

[0028] In other embodiments, the human-computer interaction component further includes a lighting component 230, which displays multiple colors to coordinate with the ball control component. The lighting component 230 can display the current status of the multi-mode ball-grabbing machine, such as whether the machine is powered on. It can also prompt the user to grab balls of different colors by displaying different colors, and to prompt the user to grab balls of the corresponding colors in sequence by displaying different colors sequentially.

[0029] The human-computer interaction component includes a voice component 240, which is used to play voice information. The voice information includes, but is not limited to: the voice indicating the current status of the multi-mode ball catcher, the voice prompting the user to concentrate and indicating that the ball is about to be released, and the voice prompting the user to pick up the color and order of the ball, thereby further increasing the ball catching modes of the multi-mode ball catcher.

[0030] A cable winding assembly 350 is also provided on the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310, and the cable winding assembly 350 is perpendicular to the axis of the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310. This cable winding assembly 350 can be located at one end of the motor shaft near the ball control motor 310 and the other end away from the ball control motor 310. This design reduces the risk of the connecting cable 320 detaching from the motor shaft of the ball control motor 310, and also reduces the risk of the connecting cable 320 becoming entangled in the ball control motor 310.

[0031] In some embodiments, the ball control assembly further includes a ball limiting component 340, which restricts the position of the ball portion 330 preparing to fall. The ball control assembly also includes a limiting motor, which controls the blocking component. Since the ball portion 330 may wobble after being retrieved, releasing it directly in this situation could affect the user's grasping ability and consequently the judgment of the grasping result. Therefore, before releasing the ball portion 330 after retrieval, the limiting component 340 restricts its position to prevent excessive wobbling that could affect the outcome. A U-shaped limiting component 340 can be used here. After the ball portion 330 is retrieved, the limiting motor rotates the U-shaped limiting component 340 to below and in contact with the ball portion 330, preventing further wobbling. As the ball 330 is about to fall, the limit motor rotates the U-shaped limit component 340 away from below the ball 330 to allow it to fall. The limit component 340 can also be cylindrical or funnel-shaped. A baffle plate can be installed inside the cylindrical or funnel-shaped limit component 340 to further limit the ball 330 and prevent it from accidentally falling. This ensures the ball 330 is limited during retrieval. Before falling, the limit motor opens the cylindrical or funnel-shaped baffle plate, allowing the ball to fall.

[0032] Understandably, the ball grabbing machine housing 100 is provided with a power interface 140, which is used to provide power to the power-consuming components of the multi-mode ball grabbing machine. The power interface 140 is electrically connected to the control component, the human-machine interaction component, and the ball control component.

[0033] In order to enable the multi-mode ball grabber to be used even in places without an external power source, a battery assembly is installed inside the ball grabber housing 100. The battery assembly is used to provide power to the power-consuming components of the multi-mode ball grabber. The power interface 140 is used to charge the battery assembly. The battery assembly is electrically connected to the power interface 140, and the battery assembly is electrically connected to the control assembly, the human-machine interaction assembly, and the ball control assembly.

[0034] Because some areas are not very spacious, and to prevent accidental damage to the multi-mode ball grabber, a second side 120 is located opposite the first side 110. A hinged assembly 121 is fixedly installed on the second side 120. The outer casing 100 of the ball grabber is fixed to the wall via the hinged assembly 121. The hinged assembly 121 is used to fold the multi-mode ball grabber as close to the wall as possible when not in use, thereby reducing the space occupied by the assembly and the multi-mode ball grabber combination. It is pulled out when needed, thus improving the compatibility of the multi-mode ball grabber.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
