Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of volleyball production technology, and in particular to a positioning device for volleyball production. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern sporting goods manufacturing industry, volleyballs, as an important ball product, have their production efficiency and quality directly impacting a company's competitiveness and market reputation. During volleyball production, the positioning device is a key piece of equipment ensuring product quality and production efficiency; its performance plays a decisive role.

[0003] However, existing technologies, such as Chinese Publication No. CN213049258U, describe a positioning device for volleyball production. This device includes a mounting base with guide platforms symmetrically fixed to its two side walls. Connecting seats are symmetrically fixed to the front and rear side walls of the mounting base. A mounting hole is formed between the upper and lower side walls of the connecting seat on the side furthest from the mounting base. The top wall of the mounting base has ten limiting grooves, and an air groove penetrating the bottom wall of the mounting base is formed at the center of the bottom wall of each limiting groove. This invention features a stable and durable mounting mechanism with multiple reinforcements, ensuring good stability and durability in actual use. Furthermore, it includes a bidirectional volleyball guiding and feeding mechanism, allowing simultaneous feeding from both ends, resulting in high feeding efficiency. Additionally, it incorporates an active adsorption and anti-fall-off structure for the volleyball positioning groove, preventing the volleyball from easily falling out once positioned.

[0004] However, it can be found that this device lacks flexibility during use. With the development of sports, the requirements for volleyball specifications are becoming increasingly diverse for different events and usage scenarios. From balls used for youth training to balls used in professional competitions, parameters such as size, weight, and surface texture vary. Different usage scenarios require volleyballs of different sizes and weights. However, the positioning device of this device's fixed limiting groove can only be adapted to volleyballs of specific specifications. When production needs change, companies need to replace the entire set of equipment, which not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency. Moreover, the positioning accuracy of this device is difficult to meet the requirements of high-quality production. Relying solely on the physical limitation of the arc groove, the volleyball is easily displaced by external forces during placement, transmission, and subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of insufficient flexibility, lack of adjustable limiting components, and need to improve the positioning accuracy in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a positioning device for volleyball production, comprising: a mounting base; three sets of limiting components installed in a circular slot extending through the upper end of the mounting base; an adsorption component disposed at the bottom of the limiting components; and one set of clamping components fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mounting base; wherein, the mounting base has an internal cavity.

[0007] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the volleyball position can be stabilized by the limiting component and the bottom adsorption component, and the clamping components on the left and right sides of the mounting base further enhance the fixing effect and improve the stability during the production process.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component includes: a first cylinder installed in the cavity; a first telescopic rod fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder, with its other end penetrating the cavity and extending to the circular slot; and a limiting block, which is arc-shaped and fixedly connected to the end of the first telescopic rod.

[0009] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the first cylinder drives the first telescopic rod, causing the arc-shaped limiting block to extend and retract at the circular slot, which can press against the volleyball from different directions. In conjunction with the adsorption component and the clamping component, it can achieve multi-angle limiting and fixing of the volleyball, ensuring the accurate position of the volleyball in production and improving the processing stability and reliability.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component further includes a limiting groove, which is hemispherical and has multiple sets of vent holes through its surface.

[0011] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the ventilation hole, together with the adsorption component, enhances the adsorption force, making the limiting block more stable in fixing the volleyball. Combined with the telescopic function driven by the cylinder, it realizes the precise positioning and reliable clamping of the volleyball, and improves the stability of the volleyball position during the production process.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the adsorption assembly includes: a flow guide hood disposed at the bottom of the limiting groove; multiple sets of suction wheels connected to the left and right sides of the flow guide hood to limit the displacement of the volleyball within the limiting groove; and a fan disposed at the bottom of the flow guide hood and electrically connected to the suction wheels.

[0013] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the adsorption component gathers airflow through the guide hood, and multiple sets of suction wheels form adsorption force on both sides of the guide hood. With the operation of the bottom fan, the volleyball is stably fixed in the limiting groove, effectively limiting its displacement. In conjunction with the arc-shaped limiting block and clamping component of the limiting component, the multi-dimensional adsorption and fixation of the volleyball is realized, improving the accuracy and stability of production positioning.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly includes: two fixed seats, fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the mounting base; a mounting frame, located on opposite sides of the two fixed seats; multiple rollers, each rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being longitudinally fixed in the mounting frame; and a second cylinder, located on one side of the mounting frame, with its output end fixedly connected to a second telescopic rod, the other end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, allowing adjustment of the relative distance between a set of mounting frames.

[0015] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the clamping component is installed on both sides of the base through the fixed seat, the second cylinder drives the second telescopic rod to adjust the distance between the mounting brackets, and multiple rollers can fit the side of the volleyball. It can not only limit the volleyball by rolling, but also adapt to volleyballs of different sizes when adjusting the distance. In conjunction with the limiting component and the adsorption component, it can realize the lateral clamping and fixing of the volleyball, and improve the applicability and stability of the positioning device.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes: a pressure sensor disposed inside the roller; an indicator light and a loudspeaker disposed on the mounting bracket and electrically connected to the pressure sensor.

[0017] The technical advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the pressure sensor can monitor the pressure of the roller on the volleyball in real time, the indicator light and loudspeaker on the mounting frame are linked with the sensor, and when the pressure is abnormal, the light flashes and the sound alarm is triggered to avoid damage to the volleyball due to overpressure or unstable positioning due to insufficient pressure, thereby improving the safety and positioning reliability of the device.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting base is provided with fixing screws at the four corners of its bottom, and a movable sleeve is movably provided on the outside of the fixing screws, with the other end of the movable sleeve being rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting base.

[0019] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the fixed screws at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting base, together with the movable sleeves, can change the height and steepness of the mounting base by rotating the movable sleeves set outside the fixed screws, so as to meet the needs of volleyball transportation.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component further includes an elastic anti-slip pad disposed on the end face of the limiting block.

[0021] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that: an elastic anti-slip pad is added to the end face of the limiting block, which can fit tightly against the surface of the volleyball through elastic deformation, increase the contact friction, prevent the volleyball from sliding during the positioning process, and at the same time buffer the direct pressure of the limiting block on the volleyball to avoid surface damage. Combined with the cylinder-driven limiting function, it improves the stability and protection of the volleyball positioning.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] 1. This utility model utilizes the cooperation of a first cylinder, a first telescopic rod, and a limiting block in a limiting assembly. The first cylinder drives the first telescopic rod to extend and retract, allowing for flexible adjustment of the limiting block's position. For volleyballs of different sizes, whether small volleyballs used in youth training or standard volleyballs used in professional competitions, multiple sets of limiting blocks can be adjusted to form a matching limiting space. Simultaneously, the second cylinder of the clamping assembly drives the second telescopic rod, flexibly adjusting the distance between the two mounting brackets, allowing multiple rollers to tightly clamp volleyballs of different weights and sizes. When production needs change, there is no need to replace the entire equipment; simply adjusting the cylinder extension and retraction allows for quick adaptation to the production of new volleyball specifications, greatly reducing production costs and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0024] 2. This utility model achieves precise positioning through the collaborative action of multiple components. The fan, guide shroud, and suction wheel in the adsorption component work together to create negative pressure within the limiting groove, firmly adsorbing the volleyball in the groove and counteracting the influence of external forces during placement and transportation. The elastic anti-slip pad on the end face of the limiting block further increases the friction with the volleyball surface, enhancing the limiting stability. The pressure sensor built into the roller in the clamping component monitors the clamping force in real time, and together with the indicator light and loudspeaker, ensures that the clamping force is always kept within an appropriate range, preventing the volleyball from shifting or being damaged due to improper clamping. Multiple positioning guarantees ensure that the volleyball remains stable at every stage of production, with accuracy meeting the requirements of high-quality production and effectively improving product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning device for volleyball production, characterized in that it includes a mounting base 1.

[0033] The mounting base 1 has a cavity 2 inside, and fixed screws 18 are provided at the four corners of its bottom. Each fixed screw 18 is fitted with a movable sleeve 19. One end of the movable sleeve 19 is movably engaged with the fixed screw 18, and the other end can rotate relative to the bottom of the mounting base 1, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the mounting base 1.

[0034] Three sets of limiting components are embedded in the circular slots provided at the upper end of the mounting base 1, and adsorption components are provided at the bottom of the limiting components.

[0035] Another set of clamping components is symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the mounting base 1;

[0036] The above structure enables multi-dimensional and precise positioning of the volleyball during the production process, meeting the needs of different production procedures.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the limiting assembly consists of a first cylinder 7, a first telescopic rod 6, a limiting block 5, a limiting groove 3, and an elastic anti-slip pad 8.

[0038] The first cylinder 7 is securely installed in the cavity 2 of the mounting base 1, and its output end is rigidly connected to one end of the first telescopic rod 6. The other end of the first telescopic rod 6 extends through the wall of the cavity 2 to the circular slot position.

[0039] The limiting block 5 is arc-shaped and fixed to the end of the first telescopic rod 6. Its end face is covered with an elastic anti-slip pad 8, which can effectively increase the friction with the volleyball surface.

[0040] The limiting groove 3 is a hemispherical structure, which is opened in the circular groove of the mounting base 1. Its surface is covered with ventilation holes 4, which are used to cooperate with the adsorption component to achieve adsorption and fixation of the volleyball.

[0041] The first cylinder 7 drives the first telescopic rod 6 to extend and retract, which in turn moves the limiting block 5 to achieve radial limiting of the volleyball.

[0042] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the adsorption assembly includes a flow guide hood 9, multiple sets of suction wheels 10, and a fan 11;

[0043] The air guide shroud 9 is installed at the bottom of the limiting groove 3 to form an airflow guiding channel;

[0044] Multiple sets of suction wheels 10 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the flow guide shroud 9, and the fan 11 is located at the bottom of the flow guide shroud 9. The fan 11 is connected to the suction wheels 10 through an electrical circuit.

[0045] During operation, the blower 11 generates suction, which is guided by the guide shroud 9 and forms a negative pressure through the suction wheel 10 and the air vents 4 on the surface of the limiting groove 3, firmly adsorbing the volleyball in the limiting groove 3 and preventing the volleyball from shifting during processing.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the clamping assembly consists of two fixed seats 12, a mounting bracket 13, multiple rollers 15, a rotating shaft 14, a second cylinder 16, a second telescopic rod 17, a pressure sensor, an indicator light 20, and a loudspeaker 21.

[0047] Two fixing bases 12 are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the mounting base 1, and the mounting bracket 13 is set on the opposite side of the fixing bases 12;

[0048] A rotating shaft 14 is installed in the middle of multiple rollers 15. The rotating shaft 14 is longitudinally fixed on the mounting frame 13 and can rotate freely.

[0049] The second cylinder 16 is installed on one side of the mounting bracket 13, and its output end is connected to one end of the second telescopic rod 17. The other end of the second telescopic rod 17 is fixed to the mounting bracket 13. By driving the second telescopic rod 17 to extend and retract through the second cylinder 16, the distance between the two mounting brackets 13 can be adjusted, thereby clamping the volleyball.

[0050] The pressure sensor is built into the roller 15 to detect the clamping force. The indicator light 20 and the loudspeaker 21 on the mounting bracket 13 are electrically connected to the pressure sensor. When the clamping force exceeds the preset range, the indicator light 20 flashes and the loudspeaker 21 emits a warning sound to ensure that the volleyball is clamped with appropriate force and to avoid damage.

[0051] Working principle: This equipment is a positioning device for volleyball production. When in use, first rotate the movable sleeve 19 set outside the fixed screw 18 to change the height and steepness of the mounting base 1 to meet the needs of volleyball transportation.

[0052] Then place the volleyball into the circular slot at the top of the mounting base 1, activate the limiting component, and the first cylinder 7 installed in the cavity 2 starts to work, driving the first telescopic rod 6 to extend, and the arc-shaped limiting block 5 at the end moves accordingly, initially limiting the volleyball from multiple directions; the elastic anti-slip pad 8 on the end face of the limiting block 5 increases the friction with the volleyball, preventing it from shaking.

[0053] Next, the adsorption components come into play. The fan 11 starts, and the suction force generated is guided by the guide shroud 9 and transmitted to the suction wheels 10 on the left and right sides. At the same time, through the air holes 4 on the surface of the limiting groove 3, a negative pressure is formed in the limiting groove 3. The strong adsorption force firmly fixes the volleyball in the hemispherical limiting groove 3, further restricting its displacement during the processing and ensuring stable positioning.

[0054] Subsequently, the clamping assembly is operated. A second cylinder 16, mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 13, pushes the second telescopic rod 17 to extend or retract, causing the mounting brackets 13 on both sides to move closer or further apart, allowing multiple rollers 15 on the mounting bracket 13 to clamp the volleyball. The rotating shaft 14 in the middle of the roller 15 allows the roller 15 to rotate freely, facilitating subsequent volleyball transport. A pressure sensor built into the roller 15 monitors the clamping force in real time. When the pressure exceeds the preset range, the indicator light 20 on the mounting bracket 13 flashes, and the loudspeaker 21 emits a warning sound, reminding the operator to adjust in time to ensure the volleyball is not damaged under appropriate clamping force.

[0055] Through the coordinated operation of the limiting component, adsorption component, and clamping component, this device can achieve multi-dimensional precise positioning of volleyballs, meeting the stable positioning requirements of different processes such as surface printing and stitching during volleyball production, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
