Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of billiard cue testing technology, and in particular to a testing device for the head of a billiard cue. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of billiards and the continuous improvement of competitive levels, the market has increasingly stringent requirements for the quality of billiard cues. As a key component that directly contacts the cue ball, the cue tip's wear resistance, elasticity, hardness, and other performance parameters directly determine the accuracy of the shot, the power effect, and the service life.
[0003] Existing testing devices, due to their fixed clamping mechanisms, make it difficult to conveniently adjust the position of the clamping mechanism according to different cue models, which may affect the test results of the cue tip. Therefore, we propose a testing device for cue tips to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4In this utility model, a testing device for billiard cue heads includes a testing platform 5 and a movable base 7. Two fixed blocks 4, a support base 2, a testing mechanism 11, and a controller 1 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the testing platform 5. Each fixed block 4 has a bearing 3 fixedly embedded on its outer surface. A lead screw 9 is fixedly mounted on the inner ring of the two bearings 3. A crank handle 6 is fixedly mounted on one end of the lead screw 9. Two sliding rods 10 are fixedly mounted on the side of the two fixed blocks 4 that are close to each other. The outer surface of the movable base 7 has threaded holes 13 and two first sliding holes 12. The lead screw 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded holes 13, and each sliding rod 10 is slidably connected to the first sliding holes 12. Both the upper surface of the movable seat 7 and the upper surface of the support seat 2 are fixedly equipped with clamping mechanisms 8. Two bearings 3 together support the lead screw 9. The lead screw 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 13 on the outer surface of the movable seat 7, and a crank 6 is installed at one end of the lead screw 9. The operator can adjust the position of the movable seat 7 by cranking the crank 6. When the movable seat 7 moves, it can drive the clamping mechanism 8 above it to adjust its position. Through the cooperation of two sliding rods 10 and two first sliding holes 12, the movable seat 7 can maintain stability when it drives the clamping mechanism 8 to move. Through the cooperation of the two clamping mechanisms 8, different models of billiard cues can be quickly fixed.
[0023] Each clamping mechanism 8 includes a lower clamp 801. A set of support plates 802 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each lower clamp 801. A top plate 803 is fixedly mounted on the top of each set of support plates 802. A first electric push rod 804 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of each top plate 803. Each set of support plates 802 supports the top plate 803 and the first electric push rod 804. An upper clamp 805 is fixedly mounted on the output end of each first electric push rod 804. A lower clamp 805 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the lower clamp 801. Anti-slip pad 806, upper anti-slip pad 807 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of upper clamp 805, and the output end of each first electric push rod 804 can drive the upper clamp 805 to adjust its position. By cooperating with the lower clamp 801, the billiard cue can be firmly clamped. By installing upper anti-slip pad 807 on the inner wall of each upper clamp 805 and lower anti-slip pad 806 on the inner wall of each lower clamp 801, the billiard cue will not slip during the testing process of the testing mechanism 11.
[0024] The testing mechanism 11 includes a vertical plate 1101 and a pressure plate 1102. A second electric push rod 1106 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the vertical plate 1101. A mounting plate 1107 is fixedly installed on the output end of the second electric push rod 1106. The output end of the second electric push rod 1106 can drive the mounting plate 1107 to adjust its position. A pressure sensor 1103 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting plate 1107. Two second sliding holes 1108 are formed on the outer surface of the mounting plate 1107. Two limit rods 1 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pressure plate 1102. 104. Each limiting rod 1104 is slidably connected to the second sliding hole 1108. A limiting block 1105 is fixedly installed at one end of each limiting rod 1104. By slidably connecting the two limiting rods 1104 to the two second sliding holes 1108 respectively, when the pressure plate 1102 presses the cue ball head, the pressure plate 1102 and the mounting plate 1107 can jointly press the pressure sensor 1103, thereby facilitating the detection of the hardness of the cue ball head. Each limiting block 1105 limits one end of the limiting rod 1104.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] First, the operator holds and rotates the crank handle 6. Rotating the crank handle 6 will drive the lead screw 9 to rotate. Through the engagement of the lead screw 9 with the threaded hole 13 and the engagement of the two slide rods 10 with the two first slide holes 12, the rotation of the lead screw 9 will drive the moving seat 7 and the clamping mechanism 8 installed on the upper surface of the moving seat 7 to move. When the clamping mechanism 8 on the upper surface of the moving seat 7 moves to the appropriate position, the operator can use the two clamping mechanisms 8 to fix the billiard cue. Then, the testing mechanism 11 can be used to test the hardness of the billiard cue tip.
