Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an artificial badminton shuttlecock feather structure, aiming to provide a badminton shuttlecock feather with high simulation, low cost and durability, especially emphasizing the effect of restoring the complete natural feather shape by touching (plucking and smoothing) with fingers. It belongs to the field of sports equipment manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Badminton is a sport that can be played both indoors and outdoors, making it a great choice for leisure and fitness. Because it is easy to carry and does not require special venues, it is popular among people of all ages and has become the first choice for daily exercise.

[0003] In existing technologies, badminton shuttlecock feathers are usually made of natural feathers, but they suffer from problems such as poor durability, high cost, and limited supply.

[0004] Artificial badminton feathers have gradually gained attention as an alternative, but existing artificial feathers still have significant shortcomings in terms of simulation and performance: 1) Artificial feathers lack the biological texture of natural feathers; 2) Artificial feathers are prone to causing environmental pollution; 3) Artificial feathers cannot achieve both flight stability and transparency at the moment of impact; 4) The visual effect of artificial feathers is weak; 5) Artificial feathers cannot be smoothed by touch; 6) Artificial feathers can easily cause personal injury.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to provide an artificial shuttlecock with a reasonable structural design that can improve the simulation effect and practicality of artificial feathers, increase the elastic recovery function of the texture, and make it closer to the touch and appearance of natural feathers in use. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology and provide a reasonable and stable artificial badminton shuttlecock feather structure that improves the simulation of artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers, can quickly restore its complete shape by touching with fingers, enhances durability and lightweight, and is suitable for mass production.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: the artificial badminton shuttlecock feather structure includes multiple feather bodies that match the carbon shaft of the artificial badminton shuttlecock. The feather body is characterized by being composed of multiple small pieces with gaps between them. The tail end of the carbon shaft of the artificial badminton shuttlecock is provided with a hemispherical or cylindrical protective layer. The protective layer is made of sealing wax or adhesive material and covers a certain proportion of the tail end of the carbon shaft of the artificial badminton shuttlecock to ensure the protective effect without affecting the flight performance of the shuttlecock.

[0008] Preferably, the multiple small pieces of this invention remain on the feather body at a certain angle after being subjected to ultrasound.

[0009] Preferably, the angle between the plurality of small pieces and the center line of the artificial badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft is 34-36°.

[0010] Preferably, the protective range of the protective layer of this invention is 0.2-5mm.

[0011] Preferably, the protective layer of this invention is hemispherical or cylindrical in shape to further reduce the potential damage to the skin from sharp points.

[0012] Preferably, the feather body of this invention is made of one of EVA, XPE or IXPE foam materials.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing wax or coating material described in this invention is a flexible, lightweight, and wear-resistant material, such as silicone, polyurethane, or thermoplastic elastomer, to ensure the durability of the protective layer and the overall weight balance of the shuttlecock.

[0014] Preferably, this invention has the effect of restoring the complete natural feather shape when touched with fingers.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: (1) The overall manufacturing process is reasonable, which improves the simulation of artificial badminton feathers. The texture is consistent with natural feathers and can be quickly restored to its complete shape by touching with fingers; (2) The use of foam cotton and carbon fiber composite materials improves durability and lightness; (3) The heat-sealing ultrasonic process ensures structural stability, is suitable for large-scale production, and enhances the elastic recovery function of the texture; (4) It has good flight stability. The feather body is composed of multiple small pieces. Adjacent feather bodies are connected by multiple corresponding small pieces, so that all feather bodies are connected in a circle, which improves the overall strength; there are gaps between the small pieces, which can improve the stability of the badminton in flight; (5) The protective layer effectively wraps the sharp parts, which significantly reduces the risk of the badminton piercing the skin during high-speed movement; the protective layer is made of lightweight materials, and the height of the protective layer can improve safety without significantly affecting the flight performance of the badminton, and meet the needs of use.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0030] Example.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 12 In this embodiment, the artificial badminton shuttlecock feather structure includes multiple feather bodies 1 that match the artificial badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft 2. Each feather body 1 is composed of multiple small pieces 11, with gaps 12 between the small pieces 11. The tail end of the artificial badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft 2 is provided with a hemispherical or cylindrical protective layer 21. This protective layer is made of sealing wax or adhesive material and covers a certain proportion of the tail end of the artificial badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft 2 to ensure the protective effect without affecting the flight performance of the shuttlecock.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sealing wax or coating material is a flexible, lightweight, and wear-resistant material, such as silicone, polyurethane, or thermoplastic elastomer, to ensure the durability of the protective layer and the overall weight balance of the shuttlecock.

[0033] In this embodiment, the protective range of the protective layer 21 is 0.2-5mm.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple small pieces 11 remain on the feather body 1 at a certain angle after being subjected to ultrasound.

[0035] In this embodiment, the protective layer 21 is hemispherical or cylindrical in shape to further reduce the potential damage of the tip to the skin.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feather body 1 is made of foamed cotton.

[0037] The artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers produced in this embodiment have the effect of restoring the complete natural feather shape when touched with fingers.

[0038] The manufacturing process of the artificial shuttlecock feathers in this embodiment is as follows: (1) Material selection: Foam (including but not limited to EVA, EPE, XPE, IXPE) is selected as the main material of feathers, with a single layer thickness of A mm (range 0.1-1.5mm) and a weight of B g / m² (range 20-50 g / m²).

[0039] (2) Structural design: A synthetic badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft is flatly sandwiched between two layers of the same or different foam materials. The synthetic badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft is made of carbon fiber composite material.

[0040] (3) Heat sealing process: The above structure is placed in the mold and bonded by heat sealing ultrasonic process. The surface texture of the mold is imitating natural feather filaments, and the number of filaments is C (range 10-50 filaments). The material is placed on the textured mold and ultrasonically treated to form the shape and texture of the feather leaf.

[0041] (4) Fiber design: The filaments can be completely independent single fibers or interconnected segments within a length D mm (range 0.2-20 mm).

[0042] The key improvements in the manufacturing process of the artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers in this embodiment are as follows: By optimizing the heat sealing process (such as adjusting temperature, time, frequency, and texture density), the product surface has high elastic recovery characteristics, meaning that it can instantly recover to a complete natural feather shape after being touched (stroked) by a finger, improving the simulation and user experience. The ultrasonic process uses a temperature of E °C (range 20-70°C), a time of F seconds (range 0.2-2 seconds), and a frequency of H kHz (range 10-30kHz), further enhancing the surface elastic recovery characteristics.

[0043] Taking a single feather filament as an example: (1) Select two layers of EVA foam with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a weight of 35 g / m²; (2) Clamping the artificial badminton shuttlecock carbon shaft made of carbon fiber composite material; (3) Using a mold with 38 feathers, the feathers are distributed in a semi-elliptical shape. The lower mold is a textured mold. Ultrasonic treatment is performed at a temperature of E °C (20-70 °C), a time of F seconds (0.2-1 seconds), and a frequency of H kHz (10-30 kHz) to form a feather shape. (4) By increasing the texture density, the resulting product has high simulation and elastic recovery characteristics: after being touched by a finger, the surface can instantly bounce back to a complete natural feather-like effect, improving flight stability and durability.

[0044] See Figure 12 As shown, the heat-sealing ultrasonic process of this utility model embodiment is as follows: Place the upper part of the carbon rod between the upper and lower layers of foam → place it into the ultrasonic mold ( Figure 7 → Adjust the ultrasonic frequency and start the ultrasound to form the hair-like shape and texture → Release the mold → Form Figure 2 Its shape.

[0045] In this embodiment, the artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers and their manufacturing process utilize a combination of mold hot pressing and foamed cotton and carbon fiber composite materials, which improves the simulation effect and practicality of the artificial feathers. In particular, it enhances the elastic recovery function of the texture, making them closer to the feel and appearance of natural feathers during use.

[0046] This embodiment of artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers and its manufacturing process solves the problems of insufficient simulation and poor durability of artificial badminton shuttlecock feathers in the prior art, especially the lack of the effect of quickly restoring the shape of natural feathers.

[0047] Based on the above description, those skilled in the art are already able to implement it.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their parts and components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
