Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arrow shaft assembly technology, specifically to a clamping and rotating mechanism for an automatic arrow shaft assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Recreational archery refers to bows and arrows used for recreation and leisure. These bows and arrows are typically used for physical exercise, relaxation, and added enjoyment. Recreational archery includes various types such as toy bows and arrows, shooting game bows and arrows, and fitness training bows and arrows. The arrows consist of a suction cup arrowhead, a shaft, and a fletching. The arrowhead and fletching need to be attached to both ends of the shaft to create a complete arrow.

[0003] Currently, most manufacturers assemble arrow shafts manually, assembling the arrowhead and fletching onto the shaft by hand. This manual operation can lead to misalignment of the arrowhead, shaft, and fletching, meaning their centers are not aligned, affecting their performance. While mechanization can free up manual labor, achieving automated clamping and rotation presents challenges due to the tight fit between the arrow shaft and the mechanism, and the required rotational synchronization. This patent proposes a breakthrough from traditional manual methods, enabling a fully automated assembly process and significantly improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, the existing arrow shaft assembly technology needs further design. Utility Model Content
