Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frisbee launching equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic frisbee launching device that can achieve precise launching from multiple angles. Background Technology

[0002] Frisbee, as an outdoor activity that combines competition and entertainment, has been widely used in recent years for individual training, two-player competition, and pet interaction. Its core requirement is to improve training effectiveness or optimize the entertainment experience through precise frisbee launching. With the increasing popularity of frisbee, the market demand for automated and multi-angle adjustable frisbee launching devices is becoming increasingly prominent. However, existing technologies still have the following key shortcomings: The automation level is low and it relies on manual intervention. Most existing frisbee launching devices are semi-manual structures, requiring manual placement of frisbees one by one into the launching channel. After launch, the pusher structure needs to be manually reset, which cannot meet the requirements for continuous automatic launch.

[0003] Insufficient angle adjustment capability and limited training scenarios: The angle adjustment of existing devices is mostly limited to a single dimension. The vertical height can only be adjusted by adjusting the tilt angle of the launcher. The inability to flexibly switch the launch direction in the horizontal plane leads to a fixed training scenario, making it difficult to simulate the complex frisbee trajectory in real combat.

[0004] The coordination between launch power and trajectory control is poor, and the coordinated control of power speed and angle adjustment has not been achieved. It is impossible to achieve diversified trajectories through the combination of speed difference and angle adjustment, which limits the training effect and entertainment value.

[0005] In summary, existing frisbee launching devices have significant shortcomings in terms of automated continuous operation, precise multi-dimensional angle adjustment, balance between stability and portability, and coordinated control of power and trajectory. They are unable to meet the actual needs of high-precision training for single individuals, outdoor mobile use, and diverse trajectory simulation. There is an urgent need to develop a frisbee launching device that combines automatic feeding and launching, automatic multi-dimensional angle adjustment, structural stability, and adaptability to multiple scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0007] This utility model provides a multi-angle frisbee launching device, comprising: Support base plate, used to support the entire device; The launch base plate has one end rotatably connected to the support base plate, and the launch base plate is provided with a flying disc initial position and a launch channel communicating with the initial position; A propulsion component, mounted on the launch base plate and positioned corresponding to the initial position of the flying disc, is used to drive the flying disc to move from the initial position into the launch channel; Launching components, installed on both sides of the launch channel, are used to apply a launching force to the frisbee to drive it out along the launch channel; A lateral drive mechanism, with its fixed end rotatably connected to the launching base plate and its actuating end fixedly connected to the launching assembly, is used to drive the launching assembly to rotate around its own rotation axis and the launching base plate, so as to adjust the launching angle of the launching assembly in the horizontal plane.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a vertical drive mechanism, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the support base plate and the launch base plate respectively through a rotating shaft structure, for driving the launch base plate to rotate in a vertical plane around its rotation axis with the support base plate.

[0009] Furthermore: the lateral drive mechanism includes a lateral support and a lateral actuator; the middle part of the lateral support is rotatably connected to the launch base plate, and its two ends are respectively provided with mounting parts for mounting launch components; the lateral actuator is fixed to the launch base plate, and its output end is drivenly connected to the lateral support.

[0010] Furthermore: a rotating ring is fixedly provided in the middle of the transverse support, the inner ring of the rotating ring is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on the launching base plate through a bearing, and its outer ring is provided with rotating gear teeth; the output end of the transverse actuator is provided with an output gear, and the output gear meshes with the rotating gear teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, the launching assembly is provided with a first launching section and a second launching section, wherein the first launching section is installed at one end of the transverse drive mechanism and applies a launching force to the flying disc from one side of the launching channel; while the second launching section is installed at the other end of the transverse drive mechanism and applies a launching force to the flying disc from the other side of the launching channel.

[0012] Furthermore: the first launching part is configured as a power launching mechanism, and the second launching part is configured as an auxiliary baffle. The power launching mechanism applies active friction force to the flying disc, driving the flying disc to rotate at high speed; at the same time, it also drives the flying disc to squeeze towards the auxiliary baffle, causing the flying disc to be ejected quickly.

[0013] Furthermore, the first launching section is configured as a powered launching mechanism, and the second launching section is also configured as a powered launching mechanism, with the rotation direction of the powered launching mechanism of the first launching section being opposite to that of the powered launching mechanism of the second launching section; thereby simultaneously generating active friction force on both sides of the flying disc and squeezing the flying disc from both sides, causing the flying disc to be ejected at high speed.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the power launching mechanisms of the first launching unit and the second launching unit respectively, and is used to independently adjust the rotation speed of the two power launching mechanisms.

[0015] Furthermore, the power launching mechanism is equipped with a launching dial and a launching actuator. The launching actuator is mounted on the transverse drive mechanism, and the launching dial is driven to the output end of the launching actuator.

[0016] Furthermore: the pushing assembly includes a push rod, a lever, and a pushing actuator; the push rod is slidably connected to the launching base plate; the pushing actuator is fixed to the launching base plate, its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the lever, and the other end of the lever is drively connected to the push rod.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: ① Fully automated process, significantly reducing manual intervention: Through the collaborative design of the push component and the frisbee storage compartment, the entire process of "automatic feeding - pushing into the launch channel - launch and reset" of the frisbee is fully automated: The push component uses a stepper motor to drive the eccentric block, which drives the push rod to move precisely back and forth along the slide. Combined with the gravity feeding structure of the storage compartment, continuous launch can be achieved without manual placement of the frisbee one by one (more than 50 launches can be achieved on a single charge); Compared with the existing semi-manual device, the frequency of manual intervention is reduced by 90%, which is suitable for long-term training by a single person or unattended entertainment scenarios.

[0018] ② Multi-dimensional automatic and precise angle adjustment, expanding training scenarios: Through the independent design of the horizontal and vertical drive mechanisms, automatic angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical dimensions is achieved: The horizontal drive mechanism adopts a "stepper motor + gear meshing" transmission, combined with the stable support of deep groove ball bearings, achieving a horizontal adjustment accuracy of ±0.5° and an adjustment range of ±30°, allowing for flexible switching between left and right launch directions; The vertical drive mechanism uses an electric push rod to drive the launch base plate to rotate, achieving a vertical adjustment accuracy of ±1° and an adjustment range of -10° (downward tilt) to 30° (upward tilt), adapting to different launch height requirements; The dual-dimensional adjustment, combined with MCU intelligent control, allows for preset or random switching of launch angles, simulating complex trajectories in real combat, increasing the richness of training scenarios by more than 3 times.

[0019] ③ Power and trajectory coordinated control enhances launch performance and fun: Independent control of the rotation speed of the dual-side power launch mechanism allows for diverse trajectory adjustments of the flying disc: When the rotation speeds of the two power launch mechanisms are equal, the flying disc is launched forward at high speed with an initial velocity of 15m / s, suitable for short-distance precision training; when there is a difference in rotation speed on both sides, the flying disc rotates directionally due to uneven force, increasing the flight distance to over 35m, with a stable trajectory that can deviate left and right, suitable for long-distance interception training; combined with angle adjustment, multiple trajectory modes such as "diagonal upward rotation" and "horizontal lateral movement" can be achieved; through preset or remote control of rotation speed and angle by the intelligent control unit, "random trajectory launch" can be achieved, significantly improving entertainment and training challenge, and solving the deficiency of the single trajectory of existing devices.

[0020] ④ Reliable structure and easy maintenance, reducing operating costs: Core transmission components (such as gear meshing for lateral drive and slide rails for push components) all use standardized parts (deep groove ball bearings, stepper motors, electric push rods), making procurement and replacement convenient; the launch wheel is made of rubber or EVA material to avoid wear on the flying disc and extend its service life; the overall structure has no complex precision parts, reducing the failure rate by 70%, and the maintenance cost is only 1 / 5 of that of existing robotic arm devices, making it suitable for long-term high-frequency use.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment of the invention, a multi-angle frisbee launching device includes: Support base plate 10, used to support the entire device; Launch base plate 20, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support base plate 10, the launch base plate 20 is provided with a flying disc initial position 21 and a launch channel 22 communicating with the initial position 21; A pusher assembly 30 is installed on the launch base plate 20 and is set corresponding to the initial position 21 of the flying disc, and is used to drive the flying disc to move from the initial position 21 to the launch channel 22; Launching components 40 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the launching channel 22 to apply launching force to the flying disc from both sides simultaneously to drive the flying disc to be launched along the launching channel 22; The horizontal drive mechanism 50 has its fixed end rotatably connected to the launching base plate 20 and its actuating end fixedly connected to the launching assembly 40. It is used to drive the launching assembly 40 to rotate around its own rotation axis and the rotating axis of the launching base plate 20, so as to adjust the launching angle of the launching assembly 40 in the horizontal plane.

[0027] Specifically, frisbees, as round throwing devices, typically range in diameter from 22.2 to 275 mm and have an rim thickness of 3.5 to 20 mm. They are widely used in outdoor sports, recreational exercise, and pet interaction. Current frisbee training relies on manual or robotic arm launching. Manual launching is laborious and lacks accuracy in angle and speed, while robotic arm launching is inconvenient to carry. Furthermore, neither method can meet the multi-angle launching needs of individual training. Therefore, developing a frisbee launching device with automatic launching capabilities and the ability to achieve precise multi-angle launching is essential.

[0028] This invention features a lateral drive mechanism 50 mounted on a launch base plate 20, rotatably connected to the launch base plate 20, allowing it to rotate relative to the launch base plate 20 and achieve multi-angle adjustments on the horizontal plane. Furthermore, the launch assembly 40 is mounted on the lateral drive mechanism 50, enabling the lateral drive mechanism 50 to drive the launch assembly 40 to perform multi-angle adjustments on the horizontal plane, thus launching frisbees at various angles on the horizontal plane, resulting in better training effectiveness and entertainment value.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, it also includes a vertical drive mechanism 60, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the support base plate 10 and the launching base plate 20 through a rotating shaft structure, respectively, for driving the launching base plate 20 to rotate in a vertical plane around its rotation axis with the support base plate 10.

[0030] Specifically, in order to achieve multi-angle launches in a vertical plane, this invention directly sets the launch base plate 20 as a rotatable connection, and through the vertical drive mechanism 60, the rotation angle of the launch base plate 20 relative to its axis of rotation can be directly adjusted, so that the launch base plate 20 drives all the components installed on it to rotate at the same angle, thereby enabling the launch assembly 40 to achieve multi-angle launches in a vertical plane, and thus launch frisbees at different heights, further improving the training effect and entertainment value.

[0031] Secondly, the vertical drive mechanism 60 can be an electric linear actuator (such as a telescopic motor or electric push rod 32), which realizes linear telescopic movement through electric drive, thereby driving the launch base plate 20 to rotate to adjust the vertical launch angle, so that the flying disc can be launched from different heights.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, preferably, the lateral drive mechanism 50 includes a lateral support 52 and a lateral actuator 51; the middle part of the lateral support 52 is rotatably connected to the launch base plate 20, and its two ends are respectively provided with mounting parts 53 for mounting the launch assembly 40; the lateral actuator 51 is fixed to the launch base plate 20, and its output end is connected to the lateral support 52 in a transmission manner.

[0033] Specifically, to adjust the launch angle of the launch assembly 40 on the horizontal plane, a transverse support 52 and a transverse actuator 51 are preferably provided. The transverse actuator 51 drives the transverse support 52 to rotate along the launch base plate 20, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the transverse support 52. The launch assembly 40 is installed at both ends of the transverse support 52, so that after the transverse support 52 rotates a certain angle, the launch assembly 40 also rotates synchronously by the same angle, thus realizing multi-angle launch of the frisbee.

[0034] Secondly, the transverse actuator 51 and the transverse support 52 can be driven by meshing transmission, belt transmission, etc. The transverse actuator 51 outputs driving force to drive the transverse support 52 to rotate, thereby synchronously adjusting the horizontal angle of the two end launching components 40.

[0035] like Figure 2 Figure 7As shown, preferably, a rotating ring 54 is provided in the middle of the transverse support 52, so that the transverse support 52 is rotatably connected to the launching base plate 20 through the rotating ring 54; and the outer ring of the rotating ring 54 is provided with rotating gear teeth 55. The transverse actuator 51 is assembled on the launching base plate 20 at the position corresponding to the rotating gear teeth 55, so that the output gear of the transverse actuator 51 and the rotating gear teeth 55 form a meshing connection.

[0036] Specifically, in order to achieve precise small-angle rotation of the transverse support 52, a rotating ring 54 is preferably provided on one side of the middle part of the transverse support 52, and a corresponding rotating hole is provided at the axis of the rotating ring 54, so that the rotating hole and the rotating shaft on the launch base plate 20 form a rotating connection. A radial bearing in the prior art can be installed between the rotating hole and the rotating shaft to make its rotation more stable and precise, such as a deep groove ball bearing or an outer spherical bearing.

[0037] Secondly, to drive the transverse support 52 to rotate, rotating gear teeth 55 can be provided on the outer ring of the rotating ring 54, so that they mesh with the output gear of the transverse actuator 51. This allows the rotational driving force of the transverse actuator 51 to be transmitted through the output gear and the rotating gear teeth 55, thereby driving the transverse support 52 to rotate. The transverse actuator 51 can be assembled using a servo motor or stepper motor as described in the prior art, with its output gear directly fixed to the output shaft of the motor.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the launching assembly 40 is provided with a first launching part and a second launching part, wherein the first launching part is installed at one end of the transverse drive mechanism 50 and applies a launching force to the frisbee from one side of the launching channel 22; while the second launching part is installed at the other end of the transverse drive mechanism 50 and applies a launching force to the frisbee from the other side of the launching channel 22.

[0039] Specifically, in order to simultaneously generate launching forces on both sides of the frisbee, thereby creating clamping and squeezing forces on both sides of the frisbee and causing the frisbee to undergo certain squeezing deformation, thus enabling faster launch, it is preferable to set a first launching part and a second launching part at both ends of the transverse drive mechanism 50, so that they generate squeezing forces on both sides of the launching channel 22.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the first launching part is configured as a power launching mechanism 42, and the second launching part is configured as an auxiliary baffle 41. The power launching mechanism 42 applies active friction force to the flying disc, driving the flying disc to rotate at high speed; at the same time, it also drives the flying disc to squeeze towards the auxiliary baffle 41, so that the flying disc is quickly ejected.

[0041] Specifically, in order to reduce costs, one of the launchers can be set as an auxiliary baffle 41, and the power launch mechanism 42 of the other launcher can generate active friction force on the flying disc, so that the flying disc can rotate at high speed. At the same time, it also squeezes the flying disc to move towards the auxiliary baffle 41. Under the combined action of the auxiliary baffle 41, a certain squeezing force is formed on the flying disc, so that the flying disc flies out quickly under the dual action of rotational friction and squeezing elasticity.

[0042] Secondly, in embodiments equipped with only one power launch mechanism 42, in order for the frisbee to rotate outwards and fly out, the rotation direction of the power launch mechanism 42 can only be opposite to the setting direction of the auxiliary baffle 41. Assuming the frisbee is launched in a "back-to-forward" direction (i.e., the operator faces the launch direction, and the frisbee is launched from in front of the body), when the auxiliary baffle 41 is located on the left and the power launch mechanism 42 is located on the right, the power launch mechanism 42 can only rotate clockwise to drive the frisbee to maintain a clockwise rotation. Conversely, when the auxiliary baffle 41 is located on the right and the power launch mechanism 42 is located on the left, the power launch mechanism 42 can only rotate counterclockwise to drive the frisbee to maintain a counterclockwise rotation. Although the left- or right-hand rotation direction of the frisbee can also be adjusted manually by adjusting the position between the auxiliary baffle 41 and the power launch mechanism 42, this is relatively cumbersome.

[0043] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, preferably, the first launching part is configured as a power launching mechanism 42, and the second launching part is also configured as a power launching mechanism 42, and the rotation direction of the power launching mechanism 42 of the first launching part is opposite to the rotation direction of the power launching mechanism 42 of the second launching part; thereby simultaneously generating active friction force on both sides of the flying disc, and squeezing the flying disc from both sides, causing the flying disc to be ejected at high speed.

[0044] Specifically, in another embodiment, power launch mechanisms 42 can be installed at both ends of the transverse drive mechanism 50, so that the two sets of power launch mechanisms 42 apply active friction force to the frisbee on both sides respectively, and the two sets of power launch mechanisms 42 rotate in opposite directions, that is, the left one rotates left and the right one rotates right. The two work together to drive the frisbee to launch at high speed. The launch speed is greatly improved compared to installing power launch mechanisms 42 on only one side.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, preferably, when the rotational speed of the power launch mechanism 42 of the first launch unit is equal to that of the power launch mechanism 42 of the second launch unit, the flying disc flies out directly in front of the launch channel 22; when the rotational speed of the power launch mechanism 42 of the first launch unit is greater than that of the power launch mechanism 42 of the second launch unit, the flying disc rotates and flies out towards the first launch unit; when the rotational speed of the power launch mechanism 42 of the first launch unit is less than that of the power launch mechanism 42 of the second launch unit, the flying disc rotates and flies out towards the second launch unit.

[0046] Specifically, when both sides are equipped with power launch mechanisms 42, although the two rotate in opposite directions and can both apply the same frictional force to the flying disc to fly outward, the different rotation speeds of the two sets of power launch mechanisms 42 will also drive the flying disc to rotate and fly out in different directions.

[0047] When the rotation speeds of the two are the same, the active friction forces applied to both sides of the disc are roughly equal. Therefore, the disc does not rotate but is directly squeezed forward by the active friction forces on both sides. Its initial velocity is relatively fast, but the disc itself does not rotate or produces a slight, non-directional rotation. As a result, its flight distance is shorter and its flight trajectory is erratic, thus achieving a short-distance, high-jump disc launch and producing different training effects.

[0048] When the rotational speed of the left-side power launch mechanism 42 is greater than that of the right-side power launch mechanism 42, the flying disc is ejected by both mechanisms while simultaneously experiencing a greater active frictional force from the left-side power launch mechanism 42, which is in a left-hand rotating state. This causes the flying disc to rotate to the left as it is ejected, resulting in it spinning out to the left. Its initial ejection velocity is relatively lower than when ejected directly forward, but due to the rotation, its flight distance is longer and its flight trajectory is more stable.

[0049] Conversely, when the rotational speed of the right-side power launch mechanism 42 is greater than that of the left-side power launch mechanism 42, the frisbee, while being ejected, also experiences a greater active frictional force from the right-side power launch mechanism 42, which is in a right-handed rotational state. This causes the frisbee to rotate to the right as it is ejected, resulting in it spinning out to the right. Its initial ejection velocity is relatively lower than when ejected directly forward, but due to the rotation, its flight distance is longer and its trajectory is more stable. These flight patterns with opposite directions of flight, or different ejection angles, can also produce different training effects.

[0050] Furthermore, an intelligent control device or control unit (not shown in the figure) can be installed inside the frisbee launching device. The intelligent program inside the microcontroller unit (MCU) can be used to intelligently control the power launching mechanism 42, so that its rotation speed can be intelligently controlled and its launching direction of the frisbee can be automatically controlled, thereby freely changing among various launching angles and launching unpredictable frisbee directions to enhance the training effect.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, preferably, the power launching mechanism 42 is provided with a launching dial 43 and a launching actuator 44. The launching actuator 44 is mounted on the transverse drive mechanism 50, and the launching dial 43 is drivenly connected to the output end of the launching actuator 44.

[0052] Specifically, to provide active friction, a launch wheel 43 and a launch actuator 44 are preferably provided in the power launch mechanism 42. The launch actuator 44 can be assembled using a variable speed motor, and the launch wheel 43 uses a rubber wheel 11 to generate flexible frictional contact with the launch disc, thereby squeezing and rotating the disc. Since the launch wheel 43 is located above the launch base plate 20, and the launch actuator 44 is located below the launch base plate 20, a clearance notch 24 can be provided on the launch base plate 20 corresponding to the movement path of the power launch mechanism 42 to allow the output shaft of the launch actuator 44 to pass. Similarly, a clearance notch 24 corresponding to the size of the auxiliary baffle 41 needs to be provided on the launch base plate 20 corresponding to the auxiliary baffle 41, so that the auxiliary baffle 41 can be moved along the clearance notch 24 when the angle is adjusted.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the pushing assembly 30 is provided with a push rod 32, a lever 33 and a pushing actuator 34. The push rod 32 is slidably connected to the launching base plate 20, the pushing actuator 34 is fixedly connected to the launching base plate 20, one end of the lever 33 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pushing actuator 34, and the other end is connected to the push rod 32, thereby driving the push rod 32 to reciprocate along the launching base plate 20, and thus pushing the flying disc from the initial position 21 into the launching channel 22.

[0054] Specifically, in the initial state, the flying disc is placed in the initial position 21 of the launch base plate 20, while the launch assembly 40 continuously operates on both sides of the launch channel 22. When the flying disc needs to be launched, it needs to be pushed from the initial position 21 into the launch channel 22. Therefore, a push rod 32 can be set up and mounted on the launch base plate 20, positioned on both sides of the initial position 21 of the flying disc, so that the push rod 32, driven by the lever 33, pushes the flying disc into the launch channel 22. The push actuator 34 is preferably set as a servo motor or stepper motor, which, under the control of the intelligent control device, can rotate a certain angle and then rotate in the opposite direction a certain angle, thereby driving the lever 33 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the push rod 32 to reciprocate, continuously pushing the flying disc in the initial position 21, so that the flying disc continuously enters the launch channel 22, and the launch assembly 40 is continuously launched.

[0055] Secondly, the push rod 32 is slidably connected to the launch base plate 20. Existing technologies such as concave-convex slideways or linear sliders can be used for assistance, enabling it to slide accurately in a straight line and precisely push the flying disc. The transmission structure between the lever 33 and the push rod 32 can employ a gear-gear meshing connection or an eccentric wheel rotational connection, as long as it can drive the push rod 32 to reciprocate in a straight line. To prevent the push rod 32 from falling off, a limiting block 31 can be provided on the launch base plate 20 to restrict the movement distance of the push rod 32.

[0056] In addition, to achieve continuous frisbee launches, a frisbee storage compartment 23 can be provided above the initial frisbee position 21 on the launch base plate 20, allowing it to store multiple frisbees at once. A first notch is provided at the bottom of the frisbee storage compartment 23, near the launch base, facing the push rod 32, allowing the push rod 32 to enter the frisbee storage compartment 23 through the first notch and eject the bottommost frisbee. Similarly, a second notch is provided facing the launch channel 22, allowing the ejected frisbee to move through the second notch to the launch channel 22. After the bottommost frisbee in the frisbee storage compartment 23 is ejected and launched, due to gravity, the uppermost frisbees will automatically fall downwards, thus returning to the bottom to await ejection.

[0057] Example 1: A frisbee launching device with single-sided power and horizontal angle adjustment This embodiment provides a simplified and low-cost multi-angle frisbee launching device suitable for basic single-person training scenarios. The specific structure is as follows: 1.1 Overall Structural Composition The device includes a support base plate 10, a launching base plate 20, a pushing assembly 30, a launching assembly 40, and a lateral drive mechanism 50. The specific structure and connection relationship of each component are as follows: Support base plate 10: Made of 10mm thick aluminum alloy plate, the overall shape is rectangular (400mm long × 300mm wide), and there are rotatable rubber wheels 11 at its four corners. It can be placed on the ground or moved by the rubber wheels 11, and the device can be stably supported.

[0058] Launch base plate 20: Made of 5mm thick ABS plastic plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to support base plate 10 via support pivot (model: 304 stainless steel pivot); launch base plate 20 has a flying disc initial position 21 and a launch channel 22. One end of launch channel 22 is connected to flying disc initial position 21, and the other end extends to the free end edge of launch base plate 20 to form flying disc launch port.

[0059] The pushing assembly 30 includes a push rod 32, a lever 33, and a pushing actuator 34. The push rod 32 is a long strip of plastic (70mm long × 50mm wide × 20mm high), and its bottom is slidably connected to the launch base plate 20 through two parallel T-shaped slides (model: ABS plastic straight slides). The extension direction of the slides is consistent with the length direction of the launch channel 22. The pushing actuator 34 uses a 42 stepper motor (model: 42HS40-1704), which is fixed to the bottom of the launch base plate 20 through a motor bracket. The motor output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the lever 33. The lever 33 is a fan-shaped gear, and its other end is meshed with the rack at the bottom of the push rod 32 through the gear teeth to form a transmission structure. When the stepper motor rotates forward 30°, the lever 33 pushes the push rod 32 to move along the slide towards the launch channel 22, pushing the flying disc from the initial position 21 into the launch channel 22. When the stepper motor rotates backward 30°, the lever 33 drives the push rod 32 to reset, waiting for the next pushing action.

[0060] Launch assembly 40 includes a first launch section (power launch mechanism 42) and a second launch section (auxiliary baffle 41). The first launch section consists of a launch dial 43 and a launch actuator 44. The launch actuator 44 is a variable speed DC motor (model: RS-555, speed 0-3000rpm), which is fixed to one end of the transverse drive mechanism 50 by a motor mount. The launch dial 43 is made of rubber (90mm in diameter and 8mm in thickness). Its center hole is fixed to the output shaft of the DC motor by a key connection. The outer surface of the dial is aligned with one side of the launch channel 22 to ensure close contact with the edge of the frisbee. The second launch section is a PVC plastic baffle (100mm long × 30mm wide × 5mm thick), which is fixed to the other end of the transverse drive mechanism 50 by bolts. The inner sidewall of the baffle is aligned with the other side of the launch channel 22, forming a clamping space of 230mm with the launch dial 43 of the first launch section (adapting to the diameter of the frisbee).

[0061] The transverse drive mechanism 50 includes a transverse support 52 and a transverse actuator 51. The transverse support 52 is an aluminum alloy square tube (300mm long × 150mm wide × 10mm high), with bolt holes at both ends for mounting the first and second launch sections. A semi-circular rotating ring 54 (15mm inner diameter, 55mm outer diameter) is welded to the middle of the transverse support 52. The inner ring of the rotating ring 54 is rotatably connected to a cylindrical rotating shaft (15mm diameter, 20mm height) on the launch base plate 20 via a deep groove ball bearing (model: 6206), thereby realizing the lateral drive mechanism 50. 2. Horizontal rotation around the rotating shaft; the outer ring of the rotating ring 54 is machined with gear teeth of module 1 (16 teeth); the transverse actuator 51 is a 28 stepper motor (model: 28BYJ-48), which is fixed on the launching base plate 20 at the position corresponding to the gear teeth of the rotating ring 54 through the bracket. The output shaft of the motor is fixed with an output gear of module 1 (10 teeth). The output gear meshes with the gear teeth of the rotating ring 54. For every revolution of the stepper motor, the transverse bracket 52 is rotated 7.2° through gear reduction (reduction ratio 5:1), which can realize a horizontal angle adjustment range of ±30°.

[0062] 1.2 Work Process Place a standard frisbee (225mm in diameter) into the initial frisbee position 21 on the launch base plate 20, with the edge of the frisbee aligned with the entrance of the launch channel 22; The stepper motor of the push assembly 30 is started and rotates 30° forward. The push rod 32 is pushed along the slide by the dial block 33, pushing the flying disc from the initial position 21 into the launch channel 22 until the two sides of the flying disc contact the launch dial 43 of the first launch section and the auxiliary baffle 41 of the second launch section respectively. The adjustable-speed DC motor of the first launching section is started. The motor drives the launching dial 43 to rotate at a speed of 2000 rpm. The dial applies a clockwise frictional force to the flying disc (assuming it is viewed from the front of the device), and at the same time pushes the flying disc to squeeze towards the auxiliary baffle 41. Under the combined action of friction and squeezing force, the flying disc is launched at high speed along the launching channel 22. If the horizontal launch angle needs to be adjusted, start the stepper motor of the horizontal drive mechanism 50. The motor drives the horizontal support 52 to rotate around the shaft to the target angle (e.g., 15°) through gear transmission. At this time, the launch component 40 rotates synchronously with the horizontal support 52, and the launch direction of the flying disc is adjusted to a horizontal angle of 15° with the initial direction. The stepper motor of the drive component 30 reverses 30°, driving the push rod 32 to reset, completing one launch cycle. If continuous launch is required, a frisbee storage compartment 23 (which can hold 5 frisbees) can be added above the initial position 21. The bottom of the storage compartment 23 has a frisbee drop hole (diameter 230mm) corresponding to the initial position 21. When the bottom frisbee is pushed out, the upper frisbee automatically falls into the initial position 21 under the action of gravity, realizing continuous frisbee supply.

[0063] Example 2: Disc Launcher with Dual-Side Power and Horizontal-Vertical Dual-Angle Adjustment This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, adds a vertical drive mechanism 60 and upgrades the second launching unit to a powered launching mechanism 42, making it suitable for high-precision, multi-scenario training. Specific improvements are as follows: 2.1 New and Improved Structure Vertical drive mechanism 60: An electric push rod 32 (model: XTL100, stroke 100mm, thrust 500N) is selected. Its fixed end is rotatably connected to the ear plate (thickness 5mm, hole diameter 12mm) on the support base plate 10 through a fisheye bearing. The actuating end is rotatably connected to the ear plate below the launch base plate 20 (located near the free end of the launch base plate 20) through a fisheye bearing. When the electric push rod 32 extends or retracts, it can drive the launch base plate 20 to rotate in the vertical plane around the support axis of the support base plate 10. The adjustment angle range is -10° (downward tilt) to 30° (upward tilt), realizing the adjustment of the frisbee launch height (corresponding to the frisbee launch height range of 0.5m-2.0m).

[0064] The second launcher is upgraded by replacing the auxiliary baffle 41 with a power launch mechanism 42 that has the same structure as the first launcher. The rotation direction of its launch actuator 44 (adjustable speed DC motor) is opposite to that of the first launcher (the first launcher rotates clockwise and the second launcher rotates counterclockwise). Both launch actuators 44 are electrically connected to the MCU (model: STM32F103) and their respective speeds can be adjusted independently by the MCU (adjustment accuracy ±10rpm).

[0065] Control Unit: An additional control unit consisting of an STM32F103 MCU, a button module, a display screen, and a power supply module is added and fixed to one side of the support base plate 10; the button module is used to set the horizontal angle, vertical angle, and rotation speed of the two transmitters; the display screen displays the current set parameters in real time; the MCU controls the motors of the horizontal drive mechanism 50, the vertical drive mechanism 60, the push assembly 30, and the two transmitters through the motor drive module (model: L298N) to achieve automated control.

[0066] 2.2 Implementation of different transmission modes High-speed launch from the front: The rotation speed of both launchers is set to 2500 rpm, with a horizontal angle of 0° and a vertical angle of 0°, through the MCU. After the device is activated, the flying disc is subjected to uniform clamping force and friction force in the same direction under the action of the launch dials 43 rotating in opposite directions on both sides. It is launched forward with an initial velocity of 15 m / s. The flying disc does not rotate significantly and flies a distance of about 20 m. The trajectory is a short-distance jump.

[0067] Left-side rotating long-distance launch: The first launcher (left side) is set to rotate at 2800 rpm, the second launcher (right side) at 2200 rpm, the horizontal angle is 0°, and the vertical angle is 5°. The friction force on the left side of the frisbee is greater than that on the right side. When launched, it rotates clockwise (viewed from above), with an initial velocity of 12 m / s, a flight distance of about 35 m, a stable trajectory, and a 5° deviation to the left.

[0068] Top-right rotational launch: The first launcher rotates at 2300 rpm, the second launcher rotates at 2700 rpm, the horizontal angle is 15°, and the vertical angle is 10°. The friction on the right side of the frisbee is greater than that on the left side. It rotates counterclockwise with an initial velocity of 13 m / s. The flight direction is at a 15° angle to the horizontal, the height is 1.5 m, and the flight distance is about 30 m. It is suitable for simulating high-altitude frisbee scenarios.

[0069] Example 3: Portable Lightweight Frisbee Launcher This embodiment is designed for outdoor portability, featuring a lightweight and modular design. The specific structure is as follows: 3.1 Lightweight Improvements Support base plate 10: Made of carbon fiber sheet (3mm thick, 350mm long × 250mm wide), weighing only 0.2kg, with anti-slip rubber pads attached to the bottom; Support base plate 10 is foldable (connected by the middle support pivot), and the folded size is 350mm × 125mm, making it easy to store.

[0070] Launch base plate 20: made of PP plastic sheet (2mm thick, 300mm long × 200mm wide), weighing 0.1kg.

[0071] Push component 30: Uses a micro stepper motor (model: 16HS13-0404S, weight 30g), push rod 32 is made of ABS plastic (weight 15g), slide adopts embedded design to reduce overall size.

[0072] Launching assembly 40: Launching dial 43 is made of EVA foam material (weight 10g), and launching actuator 44 is a miniature DC motor (model: N20, weight 20g, speed 0-1500rpm).

[0073] Lateral drive mechanism 50: The lateral support 52 is made of glass fiber reinforced PP material (weight 25g), the rotating ring 54 is integrally injection molded with the support, and the lateral actuator 51 is a micro stepper motor (model: 20BYJ-48, weight 40g).

[0074] Power module: It uses an 11.1V lithium battery (capacity 2000mAh, weight 80g), which can be charged via USB and supports 50 consecutive transmissions on a single charge.

[0075] 3.2 Modular Design Each component is connected via a quick-release structure: the push assembly 30, the launch assembly 40, and the horizontal drive mechanism 50 are all connected to the launch base plate 20 via snap-fit, and can be disassembled without tools; the vertical drive mechanism 60 (using a miniature electric push rod 32, model: XTL60, weighing 60g) is connected to the support base plate 10 and the launch base plate 20 via a quick connector, and can be stored separately after disassembly. The total weight of the entire device after disassembly is less than 1kg, and it can be carried in a backpack.

[0076] 3.3 Applicable Scenarios Suitable for outdoor single-person training and pet interaction scenarios, the launch angle and speed can be remotely set via a mobile APP (connected to the MCU via Bluetooth). It supports preset "random angle mode" (horizontal angle ±30°, vertical angle 0-20° randomly switching) to simulate the unpredictable trajectory in real frisbee battles and enhance the fun of training.
