Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulated badminton technology, and in particular to a fixing structure for simulated badminton shuttlecocks. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial badminton shuttlecocks are synthetic shuttlecocks designed to replace traditional natural feather (goose / duck feather) shuttlecocks, primarily addressing the problems of high cost, complex manufacturing processes, and insufficient durability of traditional shuttlecocks. Their core objective is to simulate the flight performance and hitting feel of natural badminton shuttlecocks while improving durability and production efficiency. One current design for artificial badminton shuttlecocks can be found in Chinese patent CN118718368A. This shuttlecock includes artificial feathers and a fixing kit for securing multiple artificial feathers. The fixing kit has inserts, and the artificial feathers have holes for inserting the inserts. During installation, the inserts are inserted into the holes, and glue is used to fill the gap between the holes and the inserts. After the glue cures, the two are fixed together.
[0003] Due to the fluidity of the glue itself and slight deviations that may occur during operation, insufficient glue filling may occur. Once this problem occurs, the connection stability between the socket and the post will be severely affected, and the simulated feathers will easily loosen or even fall off during use, thus affecting the overall performance and lifespan of the simulated badminton shuttlecock. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a fixing structure for a simulated badminton shuttlecock, the purpose of which is to improve the connection stability between the fixing kit and the simulated feathers.
[0005] The solution provided by this utility model includes:
[0006] A fixing structure for simulating a badminton shuttlecock, comprising:
[0007] Simulated feathers and fixing kit;
[0008] The fixing kit includes an annular sleeve with multiple insertion posts distributed at intervals along the circumference of the annular sleeve. The simulated feather has insertion holes for inserting the insertion posts.
[0009] The simulated feathers are fastened to the fixing kit.
[0010] As a further optional solution, the side wall of the socket is provided with an opening, and a locking block is provided at the position of the opening. One end of the locking block is fixed to the simulated feather, and the other side of the locking block is spaced apart from the edge of the opening.
[0011] The outer side of the insertion post is recessed with a slot so that the end of the insertion post forms a latching part, which engages with the latching block.
[0012] As a further optional solution, the outer wall of the insertion post is provided with a protrusion, which is used to form a snap-fit engagement with the inner wall of the insertion hole of the simulated feather.
[0013] As a further optional solution, a first spring is formed on the inner wall of the socket, with the fixed end of the first spring located at the opening of the socket and the free end extending into the interior of the socket.
[0014] As a further optional solution, a second spring is formed on the outer wall of the insert, with the fixed end of the second spring located on the side of the annular sleeve and the free end formed with the protrusion.
[0015] As a further optional solution, a blind hole is formed in the middle of the free end of the insertion post, and a number of spaced second spring pieces are formed on the outer wall of the blind hole, and the protrusion is formed on the second spring pieces.
[0016] As a further optional solution, the annular sleeve is provided with clamping plates for holding the simulated feathers on both sides, and the inner side of the clamping plates is provided with inverted buckles, which are connected to the simulated feathers with snap fasteners.
[0017] As a further optional solution, the socket is provided with an overflow port.
[0018] As a further optional solution, the insertion post and / or the insertion hole are provided with an overflow groove.
[0019] As a further optional solution, the simulated feathers are fixedly connected to the fixing kit by laser welding or ultrasonic welding.
[0020] The fixing structure of the simulated badminton shuttlecock in this application has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0021] Beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. Compared with the existing technology that uses glue to fill the gap between the insertion hole and the insertion post for fixation, the simulated feathers and the fixing kit in this application are connected by snap-fit, which does not rely on the filling effect of glue. This avoids the connection instability caused by insufficient filling due to glue flow and operation deviation, and can significantly enhance the connection strength between the simulated feathers and the fixing kit. It can effectively prevent the simulated feathers from loosening or even falling off during use, thereby ensuring the overall performance and service life of the simulated badminton shuttlecock.
[0023] 2. Existing technologies that use glue to fix simulated feathers and fixing kits have high requirements for the amount of glue used, the application location, and the uniformity of the glue, making the processing relatively complex. In contrast, this application uses a snap-fit connection, which eliminates the need for cumbersome glue application and curing processes, greatly simplifying the production process, reducing the skill requirements for operators, improving production efficiency, and facilitating large-scale industrial production.
[0024] 3. When using glue, air bubbles and excess glue in the socket can be discharged through the overflow port or overflow groove. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0040] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0042] refer to Figure 1-5This utility model discloses a fixing structure for a simulated badminton shuttlecock, including simulated feathers 200 and a fixing kit 100. The fixing kit 100 includes at least one annular sleeve 1. In this embodiment, there are two annular sleeves 1 to simulate the appearance and structure of a traditional natural badminton shuttlecock. The annular sleeve 1 is provided with multiple insertion posts 2, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the annular sleeve 1. The simulated feathers 200 are provided with insertion holes 210 for inserting the insertion posts 2. The simulated feathers 200 are snap-fitted to the fixing kit 100. The simulated feathers 200 and the fixing kit 100 can also be further fixedly connected by laser welding or ultrasonic welding.
[0043] Specifically, the insert 2 on the fixing kit 100 is used to insert into the insertion hole 210 on the simulated feather 200 to fix multiple simulated feathers 200. Simultaneously, when the insert 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 210, the simulated feather 200 and the fixing kit 100 are connected by a snap-fit. In this embodiment, by providing a through overflow port 220 inside the insertion hole 210, when adhesives such as glue are used to connect the simulated feather 200 and the fixing kit 100, air bubbles and excess glue inside the insertion hole 210 can be discharged through the overflow port 220, preventing glue from accumulating inside the insertion hole 210 and forming gaps or air bubbles, thereby ensuring a tighter and more stable connection between the simulated feather 200 and the fixing kit 100. When the insertion hole 210 is a blind hole structure, i.e., without an overflow port 220, an overflow groove (not shown) can also be provided on the outer wall of the insert 2 to discharge air bubbles and excess glue from the opening of the insertion hole 210. Similarly, when the socket 210 is a blind hole structure, that is, when there is no overflow port 220, an overflow groove (not shown) can be provided on the inner wall of the socket 210 to discharge air bubbles and excess glue from the opening of the socket 210.
[0044] Compared to the existing technology that uses glue to fill the gap between the insertion hole and the insertion post for fixation, the simulated feathers and the fixing kit in this application are connected by snap-fit. This eliminates the need for glue filling and avoids connection instability caused by insufficient filling due to glue flow and operational errors. It can significantly enhance the connection strength between the simulated feathers and the fixing kit, effectively preventing the simulated feathers from loosening or even falling off during use, thereby ensuring the overall performance and service life of the simulated badminton shuttlecock.
[0045] Furthermore, existing technologies that use glue to fix simulated feathers and fixtures require precise control over the amount, application location, and uniformity of the glue, making the process complex. This application, however, uses a snap-fit connection, eliminating the need for cumbersome glue application and curing processes. This significantly simplifies the production process, reduces the skill requirements for operators, improves production efficiency, and facilitates large-scale industrial production.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the side wall of the insertion hole 210 is provided with an opening, and a locking block 230 is provided at the position of the opening. One end of the locking block 230 is fixed to the simulated feather 200, and the other side of the locking block 230 is spaced apart from the edge of the opening. A groove 21 is recessed on the outer side of the insertion post 2 so that a latching part 22 is formed at the end of the insertion post 2, and the latching part 22 and the locking block 230 form a latching engagement.
[0047] In this embodiment, a snap-fit connection is formed between the insert post and the socket, which allows the snap-fit connection to be completed simultaneously after the insert post is inserted into the socket. This prevents the insert post from coming out of the socket, and the locking block exerts radial and axial pressure on the insert post, which can prevent the insert post from loosening in the socket. This results in extremely high stability of the connection between the simulated feather and the fixing kit, which can effectively resist the impact of badminton rackets.
[0048] There are other possible implementations for the snap-fit connection between the simulated feathers and the fixing kit;
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the insertion post is provided with a protrusion 23, which is used to form a snap-fit with the inner wall of the insertion hole of the simulated feather.
[0050] The simulated feather 200 has a slot (not marked in the figure) on the inner wall of the insertion hole 210 that corresponds to the protrusion 23. When the insertion post 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 210, the protrusion 23 is inserted into the slot to achieve a snap-fit engagement.
[0051] As an improvement to the above embodiments, combined with Figure 8 As shown, a first spring piece 201 is formed on the inner wall of the socket 210. The fixed end of the first spring piece 201 is located at the opening of the socket 210, and the free end extends into the socket 210. When the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 210, the first spring piece 201 abuts against the outer wall of the plug 2, making the snap-fit between the plug 2 and the socket 210 more secure and not loose.
[0052] As a partial alternative to the improved embodiments described above, combined with Figure 9 As shown, a second spring piece 24 is formed on the outer wall of the insertion post 2. The fixed end of the second spring piece 24 is located on the side of the annular sleeve 1, and the free end is formed with the protrusion 23. When the insertion post 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 210, the second spring piece 24 abuts against the inner wall of the insertion hole 210, and the protrusion 23 is located in the slot, so that the snap-fit between the insertion post 2 and the insertion hole 210 is more secure and does not loosen.
[0053] As a partial alternative to the improved embodiments described above, combined with Figure 10 As shown, a blind hole can also be formed in the middle of the free end of the insert 2, and several spaced second spring pieces 24 can be formed on the outer wall, with protrusions 23 formed on the second spring pieces 24, making the snap-fit structure simpler.
[0054] It should be noted that other existing structures for snap-fit connections between columns and holes can also be used, which will not be listed here.
[0055] Furthermore, the snap-fit connection between the simulated feather and the fixing kit is not limited to the snap-fit between the insert and the socket;
[0056] For example, in another embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the annular sleeve 1 is provided with clamping plates 3 for holding the simulated feather 200 on both sides. An inverted buckle block 31 is provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 3, and the inverted buckle block 31 is snapped into the simulated feather 200. The function of the clamping plate 3 can be referenced in existing technology CN118718368A. In this embodiment, by adding the inverted buckle block 31 to the clamping plate 3, the snap-fit between the clamping plate 3 and the simulated feather 200 can be achieved, maintaining the connection stability between the fixing kit 100 and the simulated feather 200 before the glue cures, and preventing loosening during the glue curing process.
[0057] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
