Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular to an artificial badminton shuttlecock. Background Technology

[0002] Badminton is not only a popular sport, but also the equipment used in the sport. Feathers are an important component of badminton shuttlecocks. The 16 feathers are evenly arranged around the shuttlecock base at a specific angle to reduce lateral forces on the shuttlecock, keep it flying in a straight line, and maintain the spin stability generated at the moment of impact, making the shuttlecock less likely to roll or wobble.

[0003] A search revealed that this utility model, with publication number CN214512598U, relates to the technical field of badminton shuttlecocks, specifically an artificial badminton shuttlecock. It includes a base, a keel, a first reinforcing rib, a second reinforcing rib, and an artificial feather assembly. The keel is circumferentially inserted into the upper surface of the base, and the keel is distributed radially along one side. The artificial feather assembly is fixedly attached to the ends of the keel. The first and second reinforcing ribs are sequentially arranged from top to bottom between the artificial feather assembly and the base, and both are bonded to the outer wall of the keel. The artificial feather assembly includes a feather layer made of ABS material bonded to fabric and adhesive ears fixed to the feather layer. One side of the keel is pressed against the side wall of the feather layer, and the ends of the keel are fixed by the adhesive ears. This artificial badminton shuttlecock has a simple structure and uses artificial feathers to improve its flight stability during hitting, increase its service life, and enhance the user's enjoyment of the sport.

[0004] With existing badminton shuttlecocks, when one feather is damaged, the damaged feather cannot be replaced individually, and the entire shuttlecock must be discarded. This not only wastes resources but also increases the cost for users. To solve this problem, designing a badminton shuttlecock that allows individual feather replacement is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an artificial shuttlecock, which aims to improve the problem that when the feathers of a shuttlecock are damaged, the entire shuttlecock can only be discarded, resulting in excessive costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an artificial badminton shuttlecock, comprising an upper base, the surface of which is provided with multiple grooves, each groove containing a limiting block, a sliding post inside the upper base, a handle fixedly connected to the top of the sliding post, a limiting plate fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding post, a limiting post fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate, the limiting post being located inside the upper base, feather assemblies on the surface of the limiting blocks, an adjustment assembly at the bottom of the upper base, and a reset assembly inside the upper base.

[0007] The above technical solution involves multiple grooves on the surface of the shuttlecock base. By limiting or releasing the limiting blocks set in each groove, the installation and removal of feathers can be achieved. When a feather is damaged, the limiting disc can be rotated, thus solving the problem of wasting the entire shuttlecock when the feather is damaged in traditional badminton.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the adjustment component includes a lower ball support, which is threadedly connected to an upper ball support, and a filler is provided between the lower ball support and the upper ball support.

[0009] The above technical solution uses a threaded connection between the lower and upper shuttlecock trays. This connection facilitates the separation of the lower and upper shuttlecock trays. By rotating the lower shuttlecock tray, the lower and upper shuttlecock trays can be separated, allowing for adjustment of the filling material. This adjusts the elasticity and material of the shuttlecock tray, meeting the diverse performance needs of different players in different scenarios.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the reset assembly includes an elastic element, which is fixedly connected to the upper ball support. A reset plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic element, and the reset plate is fixedly connected to the sliding column. The reset plate is located inside the upper ball support.

[0011] Through the above technical solution: the reset component is mainly composed of elastic elements. The upper end of the elastic element is fixed to the upper ball support, and the lower end is connected to the reset plate. The reset plate is not only connected to the sliding column, but also located inside the upper ball support. When the sliding column is pulled, the elastic element will be compressed. When the operation is completed and no external force is applied to the sliding column, the elastic element will drive the limit plate to reset by its own elastic properties. This process realizes the automatic reset of the relevant components.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the feather assembly includes multiple feather bodies, each of the multiple feather bodies being fixedly connected to multiple limiting blocks, each of the multiple feather bodies having a limiting groove inside, and each of the multiple limiting grooves having a fixing rope assembly inside.

[0013] Through the above technical solution: the feather assembly is composed of multiple feather bodies, each feather body is fixed to a corresponding limiting block, and limiting grooves are opened inside the multiple feather bodies, and fixing rope assemblies are set in them, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the entire shuttlecock. During the high-speed flight of the shuttlecock and frequent impacts with the racket, the fixing rope assembly can distribute the force and prevent the feather body from being damaged due to excessive local force.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the limiting block is a triangle with the inclined surface facing down, the limiting disk is disc-shaped and has multiple protrusions around its perimeter, and the sliding column and the upper ball support are connected by a spline.

[0015] Through the above technical solution: the limiting block adopts a triangle with the bevel facing down. The shape formed by the limiting block and the bottom of the feather body can be tightly embedded in the groove. When the bevel structure is subjected to external force, it will generate a downward component force, making the limiting block and the groove fit more tightly and preventing it from loosening due to vibration or airflow during the hitting process. The limiting plate is disc-shaped and has multiple protrusions around its perimeter. The protrusions can limit the limiting block. When the limiting plate is rotated, the protrusions can release the limiting block, enabling the disassembly and installation of the feather assembly. The sliding column and the upper ball holder are connected by a spline, allowing the sliding column to slide and rotate under the control of the upper ball holder.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the lower ball support is provided with a thread, the bottom of the sliding column is provided with a threaded groove, and the thread shape between the lower ball support and the sliding column is matched.

[0017] The above technical solution allows for the following: when adjustments to the shuttlecock's base are needed, the lower base is rotated to separate it from the upper base, facilitating the replacement of the filling material. Furthermore, the threaded connection ensures that the shuttlecock can withstand the impact and vibration generated during normal use, guaranteeing a stable connection between the lower and upper bases. This maintains the integrity and stability of the shuttlecock's overall structure, ensuring its flight performance and usability remain unaffected.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution: the elastic element is a spring, and the reset plate and the upper ball support are connected by a spline.

[0019] Through the above technical solution: the spring, as an elastic element, has the ability to elastically recover. When the sliding column moves up and down, the spring is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the operation ends, the spring releases its elastic potential energy to provide restoring force for the reset plate and the sliding connected to it, thereby causing the limit plate to reset and preparing for the next operation. The reset plate and the upper ball support are connected by a spline, so that the reset plate can slide up and down and rotate under the drive of the sliding column.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution: the fixing rope assembly includes a first fixing rope, which is located inside a plurality of feather bodies, and a second fixing rope is disposed inside the plurality of feather bodies.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the fixed rope assembly can maintain a relatively stable positional relationship between the individual feathers, maintain the aerodynamic performance of the shuttlecock during flight, and ensure the stability of the shuttlecock's flight trajectory.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, when a single feather is damaged, the limiting plate is rotated to release the limiting, and the damaged feather body and the limiting block connected to it are taken out from the groove. The feather body can then be removed, and after replacing the new feather assembly, the limiting plate is rotated again to limit the limiting block. This solves the problem that when a badminton shuttlecock feather is damaged, the entire shuttlecock must be discarded, which leads to excessive costs.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, the lower shuttlecock holder and the upper shuttlecock holder are threaded together, and a filler is provided between them. According to actual needs, the upper shuttlecock holder and the lower shuttlecock holder can be separated by rotating the lower shuttlecock holder to replace the filler, thereby adjusting the elasticity and material of the entire shuttlecock holder and solving the problem that the material and elasticity of the badminton shuttlecock holder cannot be adjusted.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-3An embodiment of this utility model provides: an artificial badminton shuttlecock, including an upper shuttlecock holder 1, with multiple grooves 6 on the surface of the upper shuttlecock holder 1, each groove 6 having a limiting block 7 inside, a sliding post 9 inside the upper shuttlecock holder 1, a handle 10 fixedly connected to the top of the sliding post 9, a limiting plate 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding post 9, a limiting post 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 8, the limiting post 11 being located inside the upper shuttlecock holder 1, feather components 4 on the surface of the limiting block 7, an adjustment component 2 at the bottom of the upper shuttlecock holder 1, and a reset component 3 inside the upper shuttlecock holder 1.

[0028] Specifically, the upper shuttlecock holder 1 is made of hard plastic, which provides hardness for the assembly and disassembly of the feather body 401. Each of the multiple grooves 6 on the surface of the upper shuttlecock holder 1 is equipped with a limit block 7, and the limit block 7 is connected to the feather assembly 4. By limiting or releasing the limit on the limit plate 8, the problem of resource waste of traditional badminton shuttlecocks that need to be discarded due to feather damage can be solved. The function of the handle 10 is to facilitate the operation of the sliding column 9. When it is necessary to rotate and pull the sliding column 9, the handle 10 can be rotated or pulled. The sliding and rotation of the sliding column 9 will drive the limit plate 8 to perform limit or limit release operations, thereby realizing the installation and disassembly of the feather assembly 4.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The adjustment component 2 includes a lower ball support 201, which is threadedly connected to the upper ball support 1, and a filler 202 is provided between the lower ball support 201 and the upper ball support 1.

[0030] Specifically, the lower ball support 201 is made of thermoplastic elastomer, which gives it better force transmission. Combined with the filler 202, it changes the overall elasticity of the ball support. The thermoplastic elastomer also has toughness, making the ball support less prone to damage. The lower ball support 201 is connected to the upper ball support 1 by threads, and the connection is made of hard plastic material. By rotating the lower ball holder 201, the lower ball holder 201 and the upper ball holder 1 are separated, and the filling material 202 between the lower ball holder 201 and the upper ball holder 1 is changed. When using different materials, the material and elasticity of the entire ball holder can be changed, thereby adjusting the elasticity, hardness and weight distribution of the entire ball holder.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The reset assembly 3 includes an elastic element 301, which is fixedly connected to the upper ball support 1. A reset plate 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the elastic element 301, and the reset plate 302 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 9. The reset plate 302 is located inside the upper ball support 1.

[0032] Specifically, the upper end of the elastic element 301 is fixed to the upper ball support 1, and the lower end is connected to the reset plate 302. This connection method allows the elastic element 301 to provide a reset force to the reset plate 302. When the sliding column 9 is operated, the reset plate 302 will move together with the sliding column 9, thereby compressing the elastic element 301 and storing elastic potential energy. When the operation is completed and no external force is applied to the sliding column 9, the elastic element 301 releases the stored elastic potential energy, generates a downward elastic force, and drives the reset plate 302 to reset.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 The feather assembly 4 includes multiple feather bodies 401, each of which is fixedly connected to multiple limiting blocks 7. Each feather body 401 has a limiting groove 402 inside, and a fixing rope assembly 5 is provided inside the multiple limiting grooves 402.

[0034] Specifically, multiple feather bodies 401 are fixed to corresponding limiting blocks 7 to ensure that when the limiting block 7 is limited or released, the feather body 401 is simultaneously limited or released. Each feather body 401 has a limiting groove 402 inside for the fixed rope assembly 5 to pass through.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The limiting block 7 is a triangle with its inclined surface facing downwards, the limiting disk 8 is disc-shaped, and there are multiple protrusions around the limiting disk 8. The sliding column 9 and the upper ball support 1 are connected by a spline.

[0036] Specifically, the limiting block 7 is designed as a triangle with the inclined surface facing down. This shape has a guiding function during installation, allowing the inclined surface of the limiting block 7 to be inserted into the groove 6, and the shape formed by the limiting block 7 and the feather body 401 can be tightly embedded in the groove 6. During use, the inclined structure will generate a downward component force due to the force applied, making the fit between the limiting block 7 and the groove 6 tighter, thereby making the fixation of the feather assembly 4 more stable and ensuring that the feathers will not easily loosen or fall off during the hitting process. The protrusions around the limiting disk 8 can limit the limiting block 7. When the limiting disk 8 is rotated, the position of the protrusions changes, which can release the limiting block 7. The spline connection allows the sliding column 9 to slide and rotate within the upper ball support 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The lower ball support 201 has a threaded top and the sliding column 9 has a threaded groove at the bottom, with the threaded shape of the lower ball support 201 and the sliding column 9 fitting together.

[0038] Specifically, the thread on the top of the lower ball support 201 matches the thread groove at the bottom of the sliding column 9. When it is necessary to replace the filler 202 between the upper ball support 1 and the lower ball support 201, the upper ball support 1 and the lower ball support 201 are separated by rotating the lower ball support 201. Since the lower ball support 201 and the sliding column 9 are connected by threads, the filler 202 is replaced when the sliding column 9 rotates.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 The elastic element 301 is a spring, and the reset plate 302 is connected to the upper ball support 1 by a spline.

[0040] Specifically, the reset plate 302 and the upper ball support 1 are connected by a spline, so that the reset plate 302 can slide and rotate inside the upper ball support 1. The elastic element 301 is a spring with elastic characteristics. It acts as a power source in the reset assembly 3. When the sliding column 9 moves due to operation, the reset plate 302 connected to it will synchronously drive the spring to compress, so that the spring stores elastic potential energy. Once the operation is completed and the external force is removed, the spring releases elastic potential energy by its own tendency to return to the initial shape, generating a restoring force, pushing the reset plate 302 and the sliding column 9 back to the initial position, thereby driving the limit plate 8 to reset.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The fixing rope assembly 5 includes a first fixing rope 501, which is located inside a plurality of feather bodies 401, and a second fixing rope 502 is provided inside the plurality of feather bodies 401.

[0042] Specifically, the first fixing rope 501 and the second fixing rope 502 simultaneously pass through the interior of multiple feather bodies 401, providing longitudinal support for the feather bodies 401. During the flight of the badminton shuttlecock and its collision with the racket, they can enhance the strength of the feather bodies 401 along the length direction, prevent the feathers from breaking longitudinally due to force, and ensure that the feathers remain intact during frequent hits.

[0043] Working principle: When a single feather body 401 of a badminton shuttlecock is damaged, pulling the handle 10 causes the limiting post 11 to leave the inside of the upper shuttlecock holder 1, and the reset plate 302 squeezes the elastic element 301 to store elastic potential energy. At this time, rotating the handle 10 drives the sliding post 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting plate 8 to rotate. When the protrusions around the limiting plate 8 rotate, they can release the limiting block 7. At this time, the damaged feather body 401, together with the limiting block 7 connected to it, can be taken out from the groove 6, thus completing the removal of the damaged feather. After removing the damaged feathers, insert the limiting block 7 from the new feather assembly 4 into the groove 6 on the surface of the upper shuttlecock holder 1. Then, rotate the handle 10 in the opposite direction to rotate the limiting plate 8. The protrusions around the limiting plate 8 will then limit the limiting block 7 again. At this time, release the handle 10. The elastic element 301 will drive the reset plate 302 to reset. The reset plate 302 will drive the sliding column 9 to reset. The sliding column 9 will drive the limiting plate 8 to reset. The limiting plate 8 will drive the limiting column 11 to engage with the upper shuttlecock holder 1 to complete the limiting of the limiting plate 8. This will fix the new feather assembly 4 on the upper shuttlecock holder 1 and complete the replacement of the feathers. This solves the problem that when badminton feathers are damaged, the entire shuttlecock must be discarded, which leads to excessive costs. When it is necessary to adjust the material and elasticity of the shuttlecock base, rotate the lower shuttlecock base 201 to separate it from the upper shuttlecock base 1. After the upper shuttlecock base 1 is separated from the lower shuttlecock base 201, the filling material 202 located between the two can be replaced. After replacing the filling material 202, rotate the lower shuttlecock base 201 in the opposite direction to reconnect it with the upper shuttlecock base 1, thereby solving the problem of the shuttlecock base material and elasticity being unable to be adjusted.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
