Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the manufacture of sports equipment, specifically to a badminton racket frame forming device. Background Technology

[0002] The main body of a badminton racket consists of a frame and a handle. The frame is made of carbon fiber and its shape is like... Figure 1 As shown, in current technology, the manufacturing process of the frame involves first cutting and rolling carbon cloth into a strip shape. The strip has a hollow internal structure. During the molding process, the strip is placed in a mold, and air is inflated inside to make it bulge out, thus forming a shape within the mold. Figure 1 Shape it as shown, and finally place the mold in the oven for heating, so that the carbon cloth can be cured and set.

[0003] The problem involved in the above process is that, after the carbon cloth is formed, it still needs to be placed in the mold during the cooling process to prevent deformation. The mold provides shape support, that is, the mold as a whole is cooled, so as to achieve the effect of cooling the carbon cloth inside. This results in low cooling efficiency and slow processing progress. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein.

[0029] Reference Figure 2-9One embodiment of this utility model provides a badminton racket frame forming device, including a heating furnace and molds. The heating furnace has a heating chamber inside and consists of a furnace body 1 and an insulated door panel 2. The door panel 2 is slidably mounted on the furnace body 1 (or other movable connection methods, such as hinges). The furnace body 1 can be closed and opened by moving the door panel 2 horizontally. A stacked support frame 3 is also fixedly mounted on the door panel 2, so that multiple molds can be placed on the support frame 3 in a longitudinally distributed manner. The shape of the molds is adapted to the placement area on the support frame 3. When placing them, if... Figure 3 As shown;

[0030] The mold consists of a detachable upper mold body 7 and a lower mold body 8. The lower mold body 8 has a groove 9 shape for placing carbon cloth. When the upper mold body 7 is completely covered by the lower mold body 8, the groove 9 shape forms an air passage in the mold body. The lower mold body 8 also has a buffer area 10 located inside the groove 9 shape. When the upper mold body 7 is closed, the buffer area 10 forms a buffer cavity in the mold. Multiple communicating openings 11 are provided between the buffer area 10 and the groove 9. The lower mold body 8 also has multiple vents 12 that connect the groove 9 to the outside.

[0031] The support frame 3 is provided with multiple pipe-shaped air inlets 6. The outer side of the door panel 2 is provided with a first air inlet pipe 4, one end of which extends to the inner side of the door panel 2 and is connected to the multiple air inlets 6. The opening of the first air inlet pipe 4 is used for airflow entry. The lower mold body 8 is constructed with a mating interface 13. When the mold body is completely placed on the support frame 3, the air inlet 6 passes through the mating interface 13 and extends into the buffer cavity, so as to communicate with the buffer cavity. By injecting air into the first air inlet pipe 4, airflow can be injected into the buffer cavity.

[0032] In this invention, when heating the carbon cloth, the carbon cloth is placed in the groove 9, i.e. Figure 9 As shown, finally, the upper mold body 7 is placed on top, so that the mold is placed on the support frame 3, thus achieving the desired shape. Figure 3 As shown, the door panel 2 is then moved to push the mold into the furnace body 1 for heating. During this process, hot air can be directly injected into the first air inlet pipe 4 from the outside of the door panel 2, allowing the hot air to enter the buffer chamber through the air inlet 6 and then be evenly injected into the air passage through the notch 11, so that the heat can be quickly transferred to the carbon cloth. The hot air is finally discharged from the vent 12. Compared with the traditional method of baking only the mold, this structure of the present invention increases the heating efficiency of the carbon cloth.

[0033] Furthermore, when removing the carbon cloth from the heating furnace after curing, door panel 2 can be pulled to... Figure 3In the state shown, there is no need to immediately remove the mold from the support frame 3. Normal temperature airflow or cold airflow can be injected into the first air inlet pipe 4. Through the above-mentioned connection, the cold air can flow directly to the carbon cloth, so as to cool the carbon cloth in multiple molds at the same time. In this process, not only does the shape of the carbon cloth remain maintained by the mold, but compared with the traditional method of directly cooling the mold, this structure of the present invention can directly cool the carbon cloth, so the cooling efficiency of the carbon cloth is also higher.

[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 This utility model can also be configured with a pipe connector 14 corresponding to the mold, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the carbon cloth can be divided into a rod and a tail according to different parts. When placing the carbon cloth into the groove 9, one end of the pipe connector 14 can be tightly inserted into the hole at one end of the rod. A second air inlet pipe 5 is also fixedly installed on the outside of the door panel 2, with one end extending to the support frame 3 on the inside of the door panel 2. The pipe connector 14 and the second air inlet pipe 5 are configured to be inserted into each other. When the carbon cloth is completely placed into the mold and the mold is completely placed on the support frame 3, the other end of the pipe connector 14 can be inserted into the second air inlet pipe 5. Therefore, when the carbon cloth is heated in the heating furnace, air can be injected into the second air inlet pipe 5 throughout the process, so that the airflow is filled into the carbon cloth through the pipe connector 14, thereby causing the carbon cloth to bulge and maintain the injection pressure, so that the carbon cloth is always maintained during the heating process. Figure 1 The structure of this invention allows the carbon cloth to maintain its shape during the heat setting process, resulting in higher setting quality.

[0035] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
