Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment testing technology, specifically a ball balance testing platform. Background Technology
[0002] Sports equipment testing refers to the process of comprehensively evaluating and inspecting the quality, performance, and safety of various sports equipment using scientific methods, professional instruments and equipment, and standardized procedures. Its purpose is to ensure that sports equipment meets relevant standards, specifications, and user needs, protect the health and safety of athletes and users, and improve the effectiveness and lifespan of sports equipment.
[0003] After ball production, balance tests are usually conducted. A ball with good balance ensures a stable flight trajectory, good rolling performance, reduced deviation, improved accuracy and predictability of movement, a more comfortable feel for the user, easier control, and more stable dribbling and hitting actions. However, current balance testing tables cannot automatically collect the balls during use and are not convenient for testing balls of different diameters. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ball balance testing table to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a ball balance testing platform that has the advantages of testing balls of different diameters and collecting balls of different diameters, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ball balance test platform, comprising a test platform body, with main tracks provided on both the left and right sides of the test platform body, and secondary tracks slidably inserted at both ends of the main tracks, an elastic net fixedly connected between the two secondary tracks located at the front, and multiple elastic ropes fixedly connected between the two secondary tracks located at the rear, and an annular track fixedly connected to the outer surface of the test platform body, with gaps between the annular track and the main and secondary tracks;
[0006] A base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the test bench body, and two sliders are slidably connected inside the base. Test slide rails are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two sliders, and the bottom ends of the two test slide rails are in contact with the test bench body.
[0007] Furthermore, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base. Both ends of the rotating rod are provided with threaded grooves, and the two threaded grooves are opposite to each other. Both sliders are threadedly connected to the threaded grooves that are close to each other.
[0008] With the above scheme, the two sliders are connected by opposite threaded grooves at both ends of the rotating rod. When the rotating rod is rotated, the two sliders can move synchronously towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the test slide rails. This allows the distance between the two test slide rails to be increased or decreased, making it convenient to test spheres of different diameters.
[0009] Furthermore, a set of U-shaped labels are affixed to the upper surface of the test platform body.
[0010] The above solution allows for observation of the movement trajectory of the test sphere using a U-shaped label, facilitating quick identification and operation by operators and improving the accuracy and efficiency of testing.
[0011] Furthermore, both the main track and the circular track are inclined towards the front end of the test platform body.
[0012] The design of the main track and the circular track tilting towards the front of the test platform utilizes the gravity of the sphere, allowing the sphere to slide more smoothly along the track into the elastic net.
[0013] Furthermore, limit cylinders are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the test platform body, and limit rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each main track. Each limit rod is slidably inserted into the limit cylinder adjacent to it, and each limit rod is fixed to the limit cylinder adjacent to it by clamping bolts.
[0014] Through the above scheme, the cooperation between the limiting cylinder and the limiting rod, as well as the fixing of the clamping bolt, can fix the position of the main track after adjustment, and prevent it from shifting due to external force.
[0015] Furthermore, a mesh frame is fixedly connected to the back of the test bench body, and the mesh frame is L-shaped.
[0016] The above scheme allows the net frame to intercept the tested sphere, preventing it from rolling to the ground. The intercepted sphere then falls between the secondary track and the annular pipe and rolls along the main track and secondary track into the elastic net bag.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the sub-tracks is secured to its adjacent main track by clamping bolts.
[0018] With the above solution, the secondary track is fixed to the main track by clamping bolts, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and adjustment of the secondary track, and allows the position of the secondary track to be adjusted according to actual testing needs.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This ball balance testing platform, through the combination and tilted design of a main track and a secondary track, allows the ball to slide along the main and secondary tracks into an elastic net after the test, achieving automatic ball retrieval and eliminating the tedious ball collection process after the test, greatly improving testing efficiency. Secondly, the spacing between the main track, secondary track, and the circular track is adjustable, allowing the entire retrieval system to adapt to the retrieval needs of test balls of different sizes. Finally, the spacing between the two test slide rails is adjustable, allowing the testing platform to adapt to balls of different diameters, thus enabling the testing of balls of various diameters and further enhancing the versatility and practicality of the testing equipment.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-3This embodiment of a ball balance test platform includes a test platform body 1. Main tracks 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the test platform body 1. Secondary tracks 3 are slidably inserted into the front and rear ends of the main tracks 2. An elastic net 4 is fixedly connected between the two secondary tracks 3 located at the front. Multiple elastic ropes 5 are fixedly connected between the two secondary tracks 3 located at the rear. Each elastic rope 5 is in a taut state and is used to fill the gap between the two secondary tracks 3 at the rear, preventing the ball from leaking out through the gap. A ring track 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the test platform body 1, and there is a gap between the ring track 6 and the main tracks 2 and secondary tracks 3.
[0028] A base 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the test bench body 1. Two sliders 8 are slidably connected inside the base 7. Test slide rails 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the two sliders 8. The bottom ends of the two test slide rails 9 are in contact with the test bench body 1.
[0029] By combining the main track 2 and the secondary track 3 with an inclined design, the sphere, after completing the test, will slide precisely along the path of the main track 2 and the secondary track 3 into the elastic net bag 4, realizing automatic sphere recovery after the test. This eliminates the tedious sphere collection process after the test, greatly improving testing efficiency. Secondly, the spacing between the main track 2, the secondary track 3 and the ring track 6 is designed to be adjustable, allowing the entire recovery system to adapt to the recovery needs of test spheres of different specifications. Finally, the spacing between the two test slide rails 9 is adjustable. By adjusting the spacing of the test slide rails 9, the test platform body 1 can be adaptively adjusted according to spheres of different diameters, thus enabling the testing of spheres of various diameters and further enhancing the versatility and practicality of the testing equipment.
[0030] A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 7. Both ends of the rotating rod 10 are provided with threaded grooves 11. The two threaded grooves 11 are opposite to each other. The two sliders 8 are threadedly connected to the threaded grooves 11 that are close to each other. The two sliders 8 are threadedly connected to the rotating rod 10 through the opposite threaded grooves 11 at both ends. When the rotating rod 10 is rotated, the two sliders 8 can move synchronously towards or away from each other, so as to adjust the distance between the test slide rails 9. The distance between the two test slide rails 9 can be increased or decreased, which is convenient for testing spheres of different diameters.
[0031] A set of U-shaped labels 12 are affixed to the upper surface of the test platform body 1. The U-shaped labels 12 allow observation of the movement trajectory of the test ball, facilitating quick identification and operation by operators, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the test work. Both the main track 2 and the circular track 6 are inclined towards the front end of the test platform body 1. The design of the main track 2 and the circular track 6 being inclined towards the front end of the test platform body 1 utilizes the gravity of the ball, allowing the ball to slide more smoothly along the track into the elastic net bag 4.
[0032] Limiting cylinders 13 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the test platform body 1. Limiting rods 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each main track 2. Each limiting rod 14 is slidably inserted into the limiting cylinder 13 adjacent to it. Each limiting rod 14 is fixed to the limiting cylinder 13 adjacent to it by a clamping bolt. The cooperation between the limiting cylinder 13 and the limiting rod 14 and the fixing of the clamping bolt can fix the position of the main track 2 after adjustment and prevent it from shifting due to external force.
[0033] A mesh frame 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the test platform body 1. The mesh frame 15 is L-shaped and can intercept the ball after testing to prevent it from rolling to the ground. The intercepted ball can fall between the secondary track 3 and the annular pipe and roll along the main track 2 and the secondary track 3 into the elastic net bag 4. Each secondary track 3 is fixed to the adjacent main track 2 by clamping bolts. The secondary track 3 is also fixed to the main track 2 by clamping bolts, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and adjustment of the secondary track 3. The position of the secondary track 3 can be adjusted according to the actual testing requirements.
[0034] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, when testing the sphere, the operator only needs to rotate the rotating rod 10, causing the rotating rod 10 to drive the slider 8 to slide within the base 7 through the threaded groove 11. The two sliders 8 will move closer or further apart. When the operator adjusts it to fit the diameter of the test sphere, the operator places the test sphere on the test slide rail 9. When the operator releases the rod, the test sphere will roll along the trajectory of the test slide rail 9 onto the test platform body 1. By observing the correspondence between the trajectory of the test sphere and the label 12, the operator can easily collect the balance data of the test sphere. After testing, the sphere will be intercepted by the net frame 15 into a ring. The test ball rolls between track 6 and sub-track 3, and along sub-track 3 and main track 2 into elastic net bag 4, thereby realizing automatic collection of test balls. When the distance between main track 2 and ring track 6 and sub-track 3 is adjusted, sub-track 3 is inserted into main track 2 and limit rod 14 is inserted into limit cylinder 13. At this time, the distance between main track 2, sub-track 3 and ring track 6 will be reduced, making the whole system suitable for small diameter test balls. Since the distance between main track 2 and sub-track 3 and ring track 6 is designed to be adjustable, the test platform body 1 can recover test balls of different diameters, enhancing the versatility of the test equipment.
