Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of desktop curling technology, and more specifically, to a precision balancing base for competitive desktop curling. Background Technology

[0002] Tabletop curling is a miniature tabletop version of the traditional curling game, designed for competitive or recreational play, and is suitable for indoor, non-ice-surface environments. It retains the core gameplay of curling (such as throwing, positioning, hitting, and scoring), but by reducing its size, simplifying the playing area, and optimizing equipment, it is more suitable for home, club, or professional training.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221867316U discloses an adjustable eco-friendly ice table curling rink. The rink features an adjustable structure at the top of the support bases at both ends, facilitating height adjustment. During use, rotating a handwheel drives a screw, which changes its position on the threaded connection of the crossbar. This causes the rotating block at the top of the screw to rotate within a groove in the rotating shaft seat. The inclusion of ball bearings enhances stability during rotation. The screw maintains a vertical position throughout the rotation, allowing for easy adjustment of the curling rink's working height.

[0004] In actual use, the aforementioned adjustable eco-friendly ice tabletop curling track is prone to wobbling or shifting of the support frame due to frequent collisions between the curling stone and the tabletop, which can cause the curling stone's trajectory to deviate and thus affect its trajectory. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a precision balancing base for competitive tabletop curling to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A precision balancing base for competitive table curling includes a support frame, inside which a curling base is installed, and inside which support components and a balancing mechanism are installed;

[0008] The support assembly includes a dual-axis motor installed inside the support frame. Each of the two output ends of the dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. Two push rods are hinged to the inner side of the movable plate. One end of each push rod is hinged to a hinge support. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hinge support. Two bases are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate. Two first guide posts are fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting plate. Multiple guide grooves are formed inside the support frame. The first guide posts are slidably connected to the inner side of the guide grooves. Two guide plates are fixedly connected inside the support frame. Slider blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable plate, and the sliders are slidably connected to the inner side of the guide plates.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, additional support can be provided to the support frame, enabling the curling base to maintain stability during the game.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the balancing mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A laser displacement sensor is installed inside the fixed frame. Two stepper motors are fixedly connected inside the support frame. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the inside of the base. Multiple second guide grooves are opened inside the curling base. Multiple second guide posts are fixedly connected inside the support frame. The second guide posts are slidably connected to the inside of the second guide grooves.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the flatness of the curling base can be adjusted in a timely manner, reducing the impact on subsequent matches.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. By setting up a support component, compared with the existing technology, the two connecting plates drive the two bases to support the ground, which can provide additional support force for the support frame and lower the center of gravity of the support frame, reducing the offset of the curling stone due to collision or slight tilt of the table, thereby ensuring the stability of the curling stone's sliding trajectory.

[0014] 2. By setting up a balancing mechanism, compared with existing technologies, the laser displacement sensor can measure and feedback the height or tilt information of the table in real time, ensuring the accuracy of balancing. In conjunction with two stepper motor drive screws, it can achieve the balancing of the curling base and can promptly balance the curling base to the appropriate position, so that the curling base can maintain the optimal flatness.

[0024] The support assembly includes a dual-axis motor 3, which is installed inside the support frame 1. Both output ends of the dual-axis motor 3 are fixedly connected to threaded rods 4, which are rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 1. A movable plate 5 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rods 4. Two push rods 6 are hinged to the inner side of the movable plate 5. A hinge support 7 is hinged to one end of each push rod 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hinge support 7. Two bases 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 8. Two first guide posts 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 8. Multiple guide grooves 11 are formed inside the support frame 1. The first guide posts 10 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the guide grooves 11. The support frame 1 has two guide plates 12 fixedly connected inside. The movable plate 5 has sliders 13 fixedly connected to both sides. The sliders 13 are slidably connected to the inner side of the guide plates 12. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 3 drive the threaded rod 4 to rotate, so that the two movable plates 5 can move relative to each other. Thus, the movable plate 5 can push the connecting plate 8 through the two push rods 6 to drive the two bases 9 to move downward. The first guide post 10 can provide guidance for the movement of the connecting plate 8, so that multiple bases 9 can contact the ground, thereby providing additional support for the support frame 1 to reduce the deviation of the curling stone caused by collision or slight tilt of the table.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the balancing mechanism includes a fixed frame 14, which is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 1.

The second guide posts 18 are slidably connected to the inside of the second guide grooves 19. The laser displacement sensor 15 can measure and provide feedback on the height or tilt information of the table in real time, so that the stepper motors 16 can be started before the start of the game or during the halftime break. The stepper motors 16 can drive the lead screw 17 to make small adjustments to the curling base 2 so that the curling base 2 can maintain optimal flatness.

[0026] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is designed with a precision balancing base for competitive-grade tabletop curling. The specific structure is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-6As shown, in this technical solution, through the cooperation between various structures, when the support frame 1 is needed, the dual-axis motor 3 is first started, which drives two threaded rods 4 to rotate. The threaded rods 4, through their threads, drive the movable plate 5 to move to one side. The two movable plates 5, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the dual-axis motor 3, can move relative to each other. The movable plates 5 can then drive two push rods 6 to move. The two ends of the push rods 6 are hinged to the inner sides of the movable plate 5 and the hinge support 7, respectively, allowing the two push rods 6 to push the connecting plate 8 to move. The first guide post 10 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide groove 11, providing guidance for the movement of the connecting plate 8. 8 can stably drive the two bases 9 to move downwards, so that multiple bases 9 can provide support under the support frame 1. Before using the support frame 1, the laser displacement sensor 15 is activated. The laser displacement sensor 15 can measure the horizontal plane of the curling base 2. When the curling base 2 is tilted and needs to be leveled, the stepper motor 16 is activated through the externally connected controller. The stepper motor 16 drives the lead screw 17 to rotate, so that the lead screw 17 can drive the curling base 2 to make small adjustments through the thread. The sliding connection between the second guide post 18 and the inner side of the second guide groove 19 can provide guidance for the adjustment of the curling base 2, so that the curling base 2 can be stably adjusted and moved up and down.
