AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional table tennis rackets have a large striking area, which leads to a dispersed contact point when hitting the ball. This makes it difficult to develop stable and accurate muscle memory for hitting the ball, resulting in a low hit rate. Furthermore, reducing the racket face leads to a shift in the center of gravity and insufficient swing inertia, which affects training effectiveness.

Method used

Design a teardrop-shaped table tennis racket to reduce the hitting area, and detachably install a counterweight on the side of the racket away from the handle. The weight distribution is balanced by adjusting the thickness of the counterweight. The handle is made of carbon fiber to accommodate the swing inertia, and the center of gravity is away from the handle to increase the hitting power.

Benefits of technology

By focusing on the point of impact during training, we can improve the stability and accuracy of our shots, maintain the momentum of our swing, enhance adaptability, and improve training effectiveness.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a table tennis racket and belongs to the field of sports equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Table tennis is widely loved for its combination of competitiveness and fun. In table tennis, the racket is not only the core competitive equipment, but also an important tool for technical training.

[0003] Scientific experiments have shown that there is a significant correlation between an athlete's hitting stability and the characteristics of the equipment. Traditional table tennis rackets have a large hitting area (approximately 15cm x 15cm), which causes the contact point of the racket to be dispersed when the athlete hits the ball. This makes it difficult to form stable and accurate hitting muscle memory and correct hitting action, resulting in low hit rate and difficulty in improving the speed of return ball due to lack of concentrated power.

[0004] While there are restrictive training tools in the existing technology (such as small-faced rackets), they generally suffer from problems such as a shift in the racket's center of gravity and insufficient swing inertia due to the reduced racket face size. These physical defects make it difficult for trainees to simulate the inertial characteristics of a standard hitting motion, ultimately affecting the transfer of skills and the training effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a table tennis racket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A table tennis racket, comprising a handle and a blade aligned along their longitudinal axes;

[0008] The paddle is teardrop-shaped, 6cm-8cm long, and has a maximum head width of 5cm-7cm.

[0009] The side of the clapper away from the handle is detachably equipped with a counterweight.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the clapper has a groove whose shape is adapted to the counterweight, and the counterweight is placed in the groove.

[0011] Preferably, the counterweight is lead sheet.

[0012] Preferably, the weight has a mass of 50g-100g.

[0013] Preferably, the handle is made of carbon fiber.

[0014] Preferably, the clapping board includes a base plate and front rubber and back rubber disposed on the front and back sides of the base plate.

[0015] Preferably, the center of gravity of the paddle is farther from the handle than that of a conventional table tennis paddle.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] By narrowing the effective hitting area, trainees are forced to concentrate on the point of contact when hitting the ball, which enhances their spatial awareness, improves the problem of "hitting point deviation", and thus improves the stability of their hitting.

[0018] By using counterweights to balance the weight distribution changes caused by the reduction in racket size, the swing inertia of the table tennis racket is maintained after the racket is reduced in size, thus avoiding the deformation of the movement caused by the reduction in racket size.

[0019] The counterweights can be detachably mounted on the side of the racket, and the overall weight can be balanced by adjusting the thickness of the counterweights to facilitate adaptive training. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a front view of the present utility model.

[0022] The reference numerals in the figure are as follows:

[0023] 1. Counterweight; 2. Front rubber; 3. Base plate; 4. Back rubber; 5. Handle; 6. Paddle. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] A type of table tennis racket, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes a handle 5 and a racket plate 6; the handle 5 is the same size as the handle of a regular racket.

[0026] The clapping board 6 includes a base plate 3, with a front rubber 2 on the front side and a back rubber 4 on the back side.

[0027] The paddle 6 has a teardrop-shaped design, with the tip of the teardrop extending into the handle 5 to be hidden or omitted. Furthermore, the longitudinal axis of the paddle 6 is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the handle 5. Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal axis of the clapper 6 is taken as the length direction, and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the clapper 6 is taken as the width direction; the projected length L1 of the clapper 6 in the longitudinal axis direction is 6cm-8cm, and the projected length L2 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis direction is 5cm-7cm.

[0028] A counterweight 1 is placed on the side of the racket 6 away from the handle 5. By placing the counterweight 1 at the edge of the racket 6 instead of the center, a greater centrifugal force can be generated, which helps to increase the power and speed of the shot. The center of gravity of the racket 6, after its size reduction, is shifted relative to the center of gravity of a conventional table tennis racket. The center of gravity of the racket 6 is farther away from the handle 5 than that of a conventional table tennis racket, further increasing the power and speed of the shot.

[0029] The counterweights 1 are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal axis. The side of the striking plate 6 has a groove that matches the shape of the counterweights 1. Counterweights 1 of appropriate thickness can be selected and inserted into the groove as needed. The weight of the counterweights 1 ranges from 50g to 100g; the thickness varies for different weights, while other dimensions remain the same. The counterweights 1 can be glued to the groove or fixed with self-tapping screws or other fasteners. The counterweights 1 are made of lead sheet. Adjusting the thickness of the counterweights 1 balances the overall weight, thereby adjusting the center of gravity.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the crosshair indicates the center of gravity.

[0031] The handle 5 is made of carbon fiber to reduce weight, and the overall center of gravity of the racket is shifted forward (away from the handle 5) by 3-5mm compared to the conventional racket, so as to adapt to the smaller size of the racket 6 and to match the swing inertia.

[0032] Comparison: The standard racket face is 15cm x 15cm;

[0033] Example 1: The length and width of the clapper 6 are 6cm × 5cm, and the lead sheet weighs 50g;

[0034] Example 2: The length and width of the clapper 6 are 6cm × 5cm, and the lead sheet weighs 100g;

[0035] Example 3: The length and width of the clapper 6 are 8cm × 7cm, and the lead sheet weighs 50g;

[0036] Example 4: The length and width of the clapper 6 are 8cm × 7cm, and the lead sheet weighs 100g;

[0037] All other conditions are the same.

[0038] Experimental data shows:

[0039] The center of gravity shift of Example 1 relative to the comparative example is 1.08 cm;

[0040] Example 2 shows a center of gravity shift of 1.54 cm compared to the comparative example;

[0041] Example 3 shows a 2.30cm shift in the center of gravity compared to the comparative example;

[0042] Example 4 shows a 3.2cm shift in the center of gravity compared to the comparative example;

[0043] After 30 hours of continuous training with this racket, the accuracy of forehand and backhand attacks increased by 50%, and the return speed increased by 10%.

[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
