Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of competitive robot technology, and in particular to a flexible steering device for competitive robots. Background Technology

[0002] Tennis is not only an elegant, aristocratic sport, but also a sport that brings us joy, cultivates our character, and energizes us. More and more people are using their weekends to practice tennis on the court. In tennis training, the first thing we encounter is the tennis ball machine, which can help you train more conveniently and quickly. Currently, most tennis ball-serving robots have a fixed launch angle, which cannot be adjusted according to needs, resulting in generally limited training effectiveness.

[0003] A search revealed that application number CN202421959312.0 discloses a tennis serving robot that solves the aforementioned problems. This device includes a main shell and a base. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main shell, and the other end of the shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the base. A motor is fixedly installed at the top of the base, and the output of the motor drives a first gear. A second gear is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft, and the first and second gears mesh for transmission. The main shell has an internal partition that divides its interior into a striking chamber and a high-pressure gas chamber. The partition has a connecting port that connects the striking chamber and the high-pressure gas chamber, and a first solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the connecting port. The top of the main shell has a ball inlet that connects to the striking chamber. A baffle mechanism is provided at the connection between the ball inlet and the striking chamber. The main shell also has a striking outlet that connects to the striking chamber. However, this device uses a fixed bottom structure, which only allows for adjustment of the serving angle, while the part in contact with the ground cannot move and lacks angle adjustment functionality. Therefore, we propose a flexible steering device for competitive robots. Utility Model Content
