Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of badminton technology, and more specifically, to a badminton shuttlecock conveying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As a sport that combines competitive and recreational elements, badminton consists of a hemispherical base (usually made of cork or synthetic materials) and feathers (natural feathers or synthetic fibers) fixed around the base. In the badminton manufacturing process (such as feather gluing, base assembly, and overall testing), professional training scenarios (continuous shuttlecock supply for auxiliary serving machines and automatic shuttlecock replenishment for multi-ball training), and event service support (rapidly replenishing shuttlecocks for serving equipment), the continuous and orderly flow of badminton shuttlecocks relies on a badminton shuttlecock conveying mechanism to complete the handling and transportation of shuttlecocks. The stability and efficiency of its operation have a significant impact on the related production, training, and event activities.

[0003] However, existing badminton conveying mechanisms, when using belt conveyors, are prone to causing badminton shuttlecocks to roll and tilt on the belt due to the structural differences between the shuttlecock holder and the feathers. This results in positional deviations and chaotic postures during transport, making it difficult to accurately identify and grasp the shuttlecocks when connecting them to automated equipment. This increases the difficulty of equipment debugging and the failure rate, and reduces the continuity and efficiency of the process. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a badminton shuttlecock conveying mechanism, which aims to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a badminton shuttlecock conveying mechanism, comprising two supports, each support having a ball bearing fixedly connected to its inner wall, two corresponding ball bearings having a rolling roller fixedly connected to their inner rings, six rolling rollers having a conveyor belt wound around their outer surfaces, an airflow auxiliary unit fixedly connected above the two supports, multiple fixing plates fixedly connected to one side of the two supports that are close to each other, and a stepper motor fixedly connected to the left side of one of the supports by bolts, the output end of the stepper motor being fixedly connected to one end of one of the rolling rollers.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the airflow assist unit includes four connecting plates fixedly connected to two supports on one side close to each other, and a straightening frame is fixedly connected to the side close to each other of every two connecting plates. Every two corresponding straightening frames are arranged in a V-shape. A reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each straightening frame, wherein the outer surfaces of the six reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the six straightening frames.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a stabilizing base is fixedly connected to one of the two supports on their opposite sides; an air pump is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each stabilizing base; an exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of each air pump; a flow pipe is fixedly connected to one end of each exhaust pipe; four branch pipes are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each flow pipe; two stabilizing frames are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each alignment frame; an air collecting shell is fixedly connected to the outer surface of every two stabilizing frames; a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each air collecting shell; the top end of each connecting pipe extends through to the top of the alignment frame; the top end of each connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the branch pipe; a jet nozzle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each air collecting shell; two airflow holes are opened on the outer surface of each alignment frame; and one end of each jet nozzle extends through the interior of the airflow holes.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the airflow holes, and a plurality of rubber strips are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a pressure reducing valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each exhaust pipe, a balance valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each branch pipe, a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each flow pipe, and the outer surface of each connecting seat is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a controller is fixedly connected to the left side of one of the brackets, and the controller is electrically connected to a stepper motor, an air pump, a pressure reducing valve and a balance valve respectively via wires.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Multiple rubber strips on the outer surface of the conveyor belt contact the shuttlecock holder, increasing friction and reducing the rolling and tilting of the shuttlecock during transport. Simultaneously, airflow from the air pump in the airflow auxiliary unit above the two supports enters the connecting pipe through the exhaust pipe, flow pipe, and branch pipe, then exits through the air collection shell from the jet nozzle, acting on the shuttlecock through the airflow holes. Two V-shaped alignment frames work in conjunction with the airflow to restrict and adjust the shuttlecock's posture. A controller coordinates the stepper motor, air pump, pressure reducing valve, and balance valve to precisely control the conveying speed and airflow intensity, ensuring the shuttlecock maintains a stable posture on the conveyor belt. This solves the problem of positional shifts and posture chaos caused by structural differences in the shuttlecock during transport, achieving orderly shuttlecock transport and ensuring accurate identification and grasping by subsequent automated equipment, improving process continuity and efficiency. Reinforcing plates enhance the structural stability of the alignment frames, filters prevent debris from entering the airflow holes and affecting the jetting effect, and connecting seats fix the flow pipe to ensure stable airflow delivery. The coordinated operation of all components avoids the increased difficulty in equipment debugging and failure rate caused by chaotic shuttlecock posture in existing technologies, improving the stability and efficiency of the conveying mechanism.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 It includes two brackets 1, each bracket 1 having a ball bearing 17 fixedly connected to its inner wall. The inner rings of every two corresponding ball bearings 17 are fixedly connected to a rolling roller 16. The outer surfaces of the six rolling rollers 16 are wound with a conveyor belt 7. An airflow auxiliary unit is fixedly connected above the two brackets 1. Multiple fixing plates 6 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two brackets 1 that are close to each other. A stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of one of the brackets 1 by bolts. The output end of the stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the rolling rollers 16.

[0018] Specifically, after the stepper motor 13 is powered on, it rotates, driving the rolling roller 16, which is fixedly connected to its output end, to rotate. The rolling roller 16 rotates stably on the inner wall of the bracket 1 through the ball bearing 17, thereby driving the conveyor belt 7, which is wrapped around the outer surface of the six rolling rollers 16, to run. The fixing plate 6 fixes the relative position of the two brackets 1 to ensure that the conveyor belt 7 runs smoothly, realizing the transport of badminton shuttlecocks on the conveyor belt 7, providing basic power and support structure for badminton shuttlecock transport. The airflow auxiliary unit can easily adjust the badminton shuttlecocks.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 The airflow assist unit includes four connecting plates 18 fixedly connected to two supports 1 on one side close to each other. A straightening frame 8 is fixedly connected to the side close to each other of every two connecting plates 18. Every two corresponding straightening frames 8 are arranged in a V-shape. A reinforcing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each straightening frame 8. The outer surfaces of the six reinforcing plates 11 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the six straightening frames 8.

[0020] Specifically, the straightening frame 8 is fixed to the support 1 by the connecting plate 18. Every two corresponding straightening frames 8 are arranged in a V-shape to form a space that restricts the badminton shuttlecock's posture. When the badminton shuttlecock moves on the conveyor belt 7 between the straightening frames 8, the V-shaped structure can initially straighten the tilted badminton shuttlecock. The reinforcing plate 11 enhances the structural strength of the straightening frame 8 and prevents the straightening frame 8 from deforming during long-term use, ensuring the straightening effect on the badminton shuttlecock. With the help of subsequent airflow, it further solves the problem of chaotic posture during badminton shuttlecock transmission, so that the badminton shuttlecock maintains a more regular posture on the conveyor belt 7.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4Each of the two supports 1 has a fixed base 5 on one of its opposite sides. Each fixed base 5 has an air pump 4 fixedly connected to its upper surface. Each air pump 4 has an exhaust pipe 19 fixedly connected to its output end. Each exhaust pipe 19 has a flow pipe 12 fixedly connected to one end. Each flow pipe 12 has four branch pipes 10 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each alignment frame 8 has two fixed supports 23 fixedly connected to its inner wall. Each pair of fixed supports 23 has an air collection shell 22 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each air collection shell 22 has a connecting pipe 21 fixedly connected to its upper surface. The top end of each connecting pipe 21 extends to the top of the alignment frame 8. The top end of each connecting pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the branch pipe 10. Each air collection shell 22 has a jet nozzle 24 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each alignment frame 8 has two airflow holes 20 on its outer surface. One end of each jet nozzle 24 extends into the airflow hole 20.

[0022] Specifically, after the air pump 4 is started, airflow is generated. The airflow is diverted to the branch pipe 10 through the exhaust pipe 19 and the flow pipe 12, and then enters the air collection shell 22 through the connecting pipe 21. Finally, it is ejected from the jet nozzle 24 and acts on the shuttlecock through the airflow hole 20. Since multiple straightening frames 8 are connected as one unit by the reinforcing plate 11, and the overall curved airflow directly acts on the surface of the straightening frame 8, the stabilizing seat 5 fixes the air pump 4, and the stabilizing frame 23 fixes the air collection shell 22, so that the airflow delivery structure is stable. The ejected airflow applies external force to the shuttlecock. In conjunction with the V-shaped straightening frame 8, the posture of the shuttlecock is further adjusted, and the positional deviation of the shuttlecock caused by structural differences is solved. The shuttlecock maintains a stable posture under the combined action of the airflow and the straightening frame 8, ensuring that the shuttlecock posture is regular during the transmission process.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 Each airflow hole 20 has a filter screen 25 fixedly connected to its inner wall. Multiple rubber strips 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 7. Each exhaust pipe 19 has a pressure reducing valve 3 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each branch pipe 10 has a balance valve 9 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each flow pipe 12 has a connecting seat 14 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The outer surface of each connecting seat 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 1.

[0024] Specifically, the rubber strip 15 on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 7 increases the friction with the shuttlecock holder, reducing the rolling and tilting of the shuttlecock on the conveyor belt 7. The filter screen 25 prevents debris from entering the airflow hole 20 and clogging the jet nozzle 24, ensuring normal airflow. The pressure reducing valve 3 regulates the air pressure in the exhaust pipe 19, and the balance valve 9 balances the airflow in the branch pipe 10, making the airflow from each jet nozzle 24 stable and uniform. The connecting seat 14 fixes the flow pipe 12 to ensure a stable airflow delivery path. The cooperation of all components further solves the problems of rolling, tilting and unstable airflow during shuttlecock delivery.

[0025] Please seeFigures 1-4 One of the brackets 1 has a controller 2 fixedly connected to its left side. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the stepper motor 13, the air pump 4, the pressure reducing valve 3 and the balance valve 9 via wires.

[0026] Specifically, the controller 2 controls the speed of the stepper motor 13, adjusts the running speed of the conveyor belt 7, controls the start / stop and power of the air pump 4, adjusts the airflow, and controls the pressure reducing valve 3 and the balance valve 9 to adjust the airflow pressure and balance, thereby achieving automated control of the entire conveying mechanism. The controller precisely adjusts the working status of each component according to the badminton shuttlecock conveying requirements, solves the problem of difficult equipment debugging in the existing technology, ensures precise control of the badminton shuttlecock conveying speed and posture, and improves the automation level and operating efficiency of the conveying mechanism.

[0027] Working principle: The stepper motor 13 is energized and rotates, driving the rolling roller 16, which is fixedly connected to its output end, to rotate. The rolling roller 16 rotates stably on the inner wall of the bracket 1 through the ball bearing 17, thereby driving the conveyor belt 7, which is wound around the outer surface of the six rolling rollers 16, to run. The fixing plate 6 fixes the relative position of the two brackets 1, realizing the conveying of badminton shuttlecocks on the conveyor belt 7. At the same time, the connecting plate 18 in the airflow auxiliary unit fixes the V-shaped alignment frame 8 to the bracket 1. The reinforcing plate 11 enhances the structural strength of the alignment frame 8. After the air pump 4 is started, the airflow generated is diverted to the branch pipe 10 through the exhaust pipe 19 and the flow pipe 12, and then enters the air collection shell 22 through the connecting pipe 21. Finally, it is ejected from the jet nozzle 24 and acts on the badminton shuttlecock through the airflow hole 20. The stabilizing seat 5 fixes the air pump 4 and the stabilizing frame 2. 3. A fixed air collection shell 22 is used. The rubber strip 15 on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 7 increases the friction with the badminton shuttlecock holder. The filter screen 25 prevents debris from clogging the air nozzle 24. The pressure reducing valve 3 adjusts the air pressure in the exhaust pipe 19. The balance valve 9 balances the airflow in the branch pipe 10. The connecting seat 14 fixes the flow pipe 12. The controller 2 controls the stepper motor 13, air pump 4, pressure reducing valve 3 and balance valve 9 to realize the automatic adjustment of the conveying speed, airflow size and pressure. When the badminton shuttlecock moves on the conveyor belt 7, it is aligned with the airflow through the V-shaped alignment frame 8. The rubber strip 15 reduces rolling tilt, thereby maintaining a stable posture. This solves the problem of position deviation and posture confusion when the badminton shuttlecock is conveyed in the prior art, ensuring accurate identification and grasping by subsequent automated equipment, and improving process continuity and efficiency.

For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
