Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of badminton processing technology, specifically a badminton shuttlecock head feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the automated production of badminton shuttlecocks, the shuttlecock feeding process is a crucial step connecting raw material storage with subsequent assembly processes. Its feeding efficiency, adaptability, and stability directly affect the production capacity and product qualification rate of the entire production line.
[0003] When feeding badminton shuttlecocks, a single rotating component, such as a spacer, driven by a motor, works in conjunction with a reciprocating feeding component to achieve quantitative feeding of the shuttlecock head. However, the vertical distance between the core of the mechanism, the spacer and the feeding plate, is mostly a fixed design, which can only accommodate shuttlecock heads of a specific height / thickness. If the height of the shuttlecock head is greater than the spacer, the shuttlecock head is prone to jamming between the spacer and the feeding plate. If the height of the shuttlecock head is less than the spacer, the shuttlecock head is prone to bouncing and deviating when it is transferred from the spacer to the feeding plate due to the excessive falling distance, resulting in a decrease in feeding accuracy, which in turn affects the applicability of the device to a certain extent. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] This utility model provides a badminton shuttlecock head feeding mechanism, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a badminton shuttlecock head feeding mechanism, comprising a feeding pipe; a base is installed at the bottom of the feeding pipe, a fixing plate is provided on the outer side of the feeding pipe, and an intermittent feeding component is installed on the surface of the fixing plate;
[0008] The intermittent feeding assembly includes a motor, a partition plate, an electric push rod II, and a feeding plate. The motor is mounted on the surface of the fixed plate, the output end of the motor is mounted on the partition plate, the bottom of the partition plate is mounted on the electric push rod II, and the output end of the electric push rod II is fixedly mounted on the feeding plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a barrier groove is formed on the surface of the feeding pipe, and a gap groove is formed on the surface of the feeding pipe below the barrier groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a partition plate is installed inside the barrier groove, and a feeding plate is installed inside the partition groove.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the grooves on the surface of the spacer plate and the grooves on the surface of the feed plate are staggered.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner wall of the feeding pipe is provided with a placement groove, and the outer side of the feeding pipe is provided with adjustment components at equal intervals.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the adjustment assembly includes a support plate, an electric push rod, and an adjustment plate. The support plate is installed on the outside of the feeding pipe, and the electric push rod is installed on the inside of the support plate. The inside of the electric push rod is fixedly installed with the inner cavity of the feeding pipe and the adjustment plate.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, an elastic component is installed above the inner wall of the partition groove. The elastic component includes a spring and a flexible plate. The springs are installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the partition groove, and the flexible plate is installed on the inner side of the springs.
[0015] Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model achieves coordinated rotation of the partition plate and the feeding plate through a motor and synchronous transmission structure. This allows the ball head to form a continuous circular trajectory of "receiving → moving down → receiving → feeding," avoiding the action gaps caused by the reciprocating translation of components, reducing feeding time loss, and improving feeding efficiency per unit time. At the same time, the vertical distance between the partition plate and the feeding plate is adjustable through the electric push rod two. For large / thick ball heads, pushing the feeding plate down increases the distance and avoids jamming; for small / thin ball heads, pulling the feeding plate up decreases the distance, ensuring accurate receiving. This solves the problem that traditional fixed distances can only accommodate a single ball head specification. The distance adjustment function is automatically controlled by the electric push rod two. When changing the ball head specification, only the electric push rod two needs to be activated to adjust the distance, without disassembling the partition plate or feeding plate, etc. This reduces manual operation time and labor intensity, reduces downtime costs when changing specifications on the production line, and improves the ease of use and flexibility of the mechanism.
[0017] The spacing adjustment function complements the "diameter direction adaptation" of the adjustment component. The former targets the height / thickness of the shuttlecock head, while the latter targets the diameter of the shuttlecock head. Together, they form a "dual-dimensional adaptation system" that can cover all sizes of badminton shuttlecock heads, from small to large and from thin to thick. This greatly expands the applicable scenarios of the mechanism and can meet different production needs without changing the components. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] This application provides a badminton shuttlecock head feeding mechanism, including a feeding pipe 1; a base 2 is installed at the bottom of the feeding pipe 1, a fixing plate 6 is provided on the outside of the feeding pipe 1, and an intermittent feeding component 7 is installed on the surface of the fixing plate 6;
[0029] The intermittent feeding assembly 7 includes a motor 701, a spacer plate 702, an electric push rod 703, and a feeding plate 704. The motor 701 is mounted on the surface of the fixed plate 6. The spacer plate 702 is mounted on the output end of the motor 701. The electric push rod 703 is mounted on the bottom of the spacer plate 702. The feeding plate 704 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 703. A barrier groove 4 is formed on the surface of the feeding pipe 1. A spacer groove 5 is formed on the surface of the feeding pipe 1 below the barrier groove 4. The spacer plate 702 is installed inside the barrier groove 4. The feeding plate 704 is installed inside the spacer groove 5. The grooves on the surface of the spacer plate 702 and the grooves on the surface of the feeding plate 704 are staggered.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the badminton shuttlecock head to be fed is inserted into the top opening of the feeding pipe 1. Under the action of gravity, the shuttlecock head slides down the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 1 until it contacts the surface of the partition plate 702. Then, the partition plate 702 is rotated in the barrier groove 4 by an external controller. When the groove on its surface is aligned with the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 1, the bottommost shuttlecock head among the stacked tops falls into the groove of the partition plate 702, completing the receiving process. As the motor 701 continues to drive the partition plate 702 to rotate, the groove carries the shuttlecock head down synchronously. Because the rotation trajectory is a circular motion, the vertical direction shows a downward trend until the groove of the partition plate 702 is aligned with the position of the partition groove 5 where the unloading plate 704 is located. At this time, the unloading plate 704 rotates synchronously with the partition plate 702, and its surface is initially in contact with the partition plate. The misaligned area of the 702 groove gradually rotates to the bottom of the groove. Under the action of gravity, the ball head moves down from the groove of the partition plate 702 and falls smoothly onto the surface of the feeding plate 704. The motor 701 continues to drive the feeding plate 704 to rotate, and the partition plate 702 rotates synchronously to the next receiving position. When the feeding plate 704 rotates to the feeding station outside the feeding pipe 1, the ball head on its surface moves to the station along the rotation trajectory. Under the action of gravity or auxiliary pushing structure such as scraper, it detaches from the surface of the feeding plate 704, completing one feeding cycle. During the entire rotation process, the motor 701 adopts intermittent drive. It pauses once for each fixed angle rotation corresponding to one cycle of "receiving → transferring → feeding", ensuring that only one ball head is conveyed each time, realizing intermittent quantitative transportation.
[0031] Furthermore, the inner wall of the feeding pipe 1 is provided with a placement groove 101, and the outer side of the feeding pipe 1 is provided with an adjustment assembly 3 at equal intervals. The adjustment assembly 3 includes a support plate 301, an electric push rod 302 and an adjustment plate 303. The support plate 301 is installed on the outer side of the feeding pipe 1, and the electric push rod 302 is installed on the inner side of the support plate 301. The inner side of the electric push rod 302 is fixedly installed with the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 1 and the adjustment plate 303.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, based on the current diameter of the ball head, the electric actuator 302 in the adjustment assembly 3 is activated. The support plate 301 provides fixed support for the electric actuator 302. If the diameter of the ball head is small, the electric actuator 302 pushes the adjustment plate 303 along the placement groove 101 on the inner wall of the feeding pipe 1 towards the center of the inner cavity, reducing the effective channel width of the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 1 and preventing the ball head from shifting or getting stuck during the downward movement. If the diameter of the ball head is large, the electric actuator 302 pulls the adjustment plate 303 to move to the outside of the feeding pipe 1, expanding the inner cavity channel and ensuring that the ball head can pass smoothly. After adjustment, the adjustment plate 303 remains in a fixed position, providing a stable channel for subsequent ball head conveying.
[0033] Furthermore, an elastic component 8 is installed above the inner wall of the partition groove 5. The elastic component 8 includes a spring 801 and a flexible plate 802. The spring 801 is installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the partition groove 5, and the flexible plate 802 is installed on the inner side of the spring 801.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, during the entire process of the feeding plate 704 moving along the partition groove 5, the elastic component 8 plays a buffering and positioning role. The spring 801 installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the partition groove 5 is in a naturally extended state, and the soft plate 802 connected to its inner side maintains slight contact with the surface of the feeding plate 704. When the feeding plate 704 moves, the soft plate 802 always adheres to the feeding plate 704 under the elastic force of the spring 801. On the one hand, it avoids the shaking of the feeding plate 704 during the movement and ensures that the ball head is stably in the groove; on the other hand, it absorbs the impact force when the feeding plate 704 starts and stops through the elastic deformation of the spring 801, reduces component wear, and extends the service life of the mechanism.
[0035] Working principle: According to the diameter specification of the shuttlecock head, the electric actuator 302 of the adjustment component 3 is activated, pushing or pulling the adjustment plate 303 to move along the placement groove 101, narrowing or widening the effective channel of the inner cavity of the feeding tube 1, ensuring that the shuttlecock head slides down smoothly without deviation. When the shuttlecock head is placed from the top of the feeding tube 1, it slides down along the inner cavity under the action of gravity until it contacts the surface of the spacer plate 702 in the barrier groove 4, and temporarily stops moving. The external controller starts the motor 701 of the intermittent feeding component 7, which is fixed to the fixed plate 6, and drives the spacer plate 702 to rotate in the barrier groove 4. When the groove of the spacer plate 702 is aligned with the inner cavity of the feeding tube 1, the bottom shuttlecock head falls into the groove to complete the receiving of the shuttlecock head, and continues to rotate with the spacer plate 702. The circular motion causes a vertical downward movement, and its groove aligns with the feeding plate 704 in the interval slot 5. The feeding plate 704 rotates synchronously with the interval plate 702 and is linked by the electric push rod 703. The ball head falls from the groove of the interval plate 702 into the surface of the feeding plate 704. The motor 701 drives intermittently and pauses at a fixed angle every revolution, driving the feeding plate 704 to the feeding station. The ball head disengages under the action of gravity or the auxiliary pushing structure, completing one quantitative feeding. The interval plate 702 synchronously resets to receive the material. In the elastic component 8 in the interval slot 5, the soft plate 802 supported by the spring 801 always adheres to the feeding plate 704, buffering the impact of the falling ball head, preventing the feeding plate 704 from shaking, reducing component wear, and ensuring stable feeding.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and 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 and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
