Baseball training ball launcher

Abstract

To provide a baseball training ball throwing device which replaces artificial pitching and improves training efficiency by enabling better control of the ball's throwing height and speed. [Solution] The ball launcher includes an outer shell 1, a fixed rod, a pressure rod 3, a spring, a reducer, a reducer gear, and an n-shaped base 7. Both support sides of the n-shaped base are L-shaped, with reinforcing ribs 71 at the joints of the long and short sides. The pressure rod has a rack, and a tray 8 on its upper end for placing a baseball. The spring is disposed between the pressure rod and the fixed rod, and the reducer gear meshes with the rack of the pressure rod. Pressing the pressure rod downward compresses the spring, and at the same time, the rack drives the reducer gear, operating the reducer. When the compression reaches a predetermined level, a gradual reversal process occurs between the reducer and the rack, reducing the spring's rebound. When the rack completes its stroke, the compressed spring instantly releases its elastic force, causing the baseball to bounce up into the tray.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of baseball training equipment, and more particularly to a baseball training ball launcher. [Background technology]

[0002] In baseball training, conventional artificial pitching methods have obvious drawbacks. The pitching rhythm is unstable, and it is difficult to precisely control the speed and height of the ball, which makes it difficult for trainees to conduct efficient and standardized batting training. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a ball-launching device that can automatically and stably bounce a baseball up, simulate the pitching effect, and has a stable structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a baseball training device that overcomes the drawbacks of artificial pitching, realizes stable and controllable ball bounce to aid training, and has a protective outer shell and a highly stable bottom structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical means: The baseball training ball launcher includes an outer shell, a fixed rod, a pressure rod, a spring, a reducer, a reducer gear, and an n-shaped base. Both support sides of the n-shaped base are L-shaped, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided at the joints between the long and short sides of the support sides. The shell is placed on an n-shaped base. The fixed rod is installed inside the outer shell. The pressure rod has a rack, and a tray for placing baseballs is installed at the upper end of the pressure rod. The spring is installed between the pressure rod and the fixed rod. The reducer is fixed inside the outer shell, and the reducer gear is attached to the reducer and meshes with the rack of the pressure rod. Furthermore, the fixed rod serves as a base for mounting the internal components of the ball launcher, and is used to mount the pressure rod, spring and reducer. Furthermore, the tray of the pressing rod is structured to fit the shape of a baseball, the lower end of the pressing rod cooperates with a spring, and the rack provided on the side fits with a reducer gear to achieve power transmission. Furthermore, the speed reducer controls the speed of the pressing rod by meshing the gear and rack and its own deceleration characteristics, and adjusts the timing of the spring's rebound.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This baseball training ball launcher converts artificially applied pressure into spring elastic energy through the cooperation of a pressure rod, spring, rack, reducer, and reducer gear, and then controls the timing of the spring's rebound by the deceleration action of the reducer.Finally, the tray on top of the pressure rod stably bounces the baseball up, making it an alternative to artificial pitching. In addition, the outer shell protects the internal components, and the L-shaped support side of the N-shaped base and the reinforcing rib structure greatly improve the support stability of the entire ball launcher, preventing it from shaking during training. This ball launcher allows for better control of the ball's height and speed during baseball training, improving training regularity and efficiency. Furthermore, its simple structure and ease of operation make it suitable for use in baseball training. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] The technical means in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," and other positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings or on the customary placement of the product of the present invention when in use. This is intended to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention, and does not imply that devices or components must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for distinction purposes only, and do not imply relative importance. Additionally, the terms "horizontal," "vertical," "pendant," etc. do not require that a part be absolutely horizontal, vertical, or pendant, but may be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply refers to a more horizontal direction than "vertical," and does not necessarily have to be perfectly horizontal, but may be slightly tilted. In describing embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" refers to at least two. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installation," "mounting," "connection," and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They may also refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. They may also refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0008] Working Example: As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the baseball training ball launcher of the present invention includes an outer shell 1, a fixed rod 2, a pressure rod 3, a spring 4, a reducer 5, a reducer gear 6, and an N-shaped base 7. Both support sides of the n-shaped base 7 are L-shaped, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 71 are provided at the joints of the long and short sides of the support sides to provide stable bottom support for the ball launcher. The outer shell 1 is placed on an n-shaped base 7, and a fixed rod 2 is provided inside the outer shell 1 and functions as a support for mounting the internal members. A rack is machined on the pressure rod 3, and a tray 8 for placing a baseball is attached to the upper end of the pressure rod 3. A spring 4 is installed in the space between the pressure rod 3 and the fixed rod 2, and supplies elastic energy for returning the pressure rod and bouncing the baseball up. The reducer 5 is fixed inside the shell 1 via fastening members, and the reducer gear 6 is mounted on the input and output ends of the reducer 5 and engages with the rack of the pressing rod 3 to form a rack-pinion transmission mechanism.

[0009] When using: The trainee places a baseball on the tray at the top of the push rod and then applies a downward force to the top of the push rod. As the push rod descends, the spring is compressed, storing elastic energy, while the rack on the push rod synchronizes and drives the reducer gear. The reducer operates based on a speed reduction mechanism such as a gear group reduction, limiting the rack's movement speed. When the pressure rod compresses the spring to a specified stroke (when the rack and reducer gear are engaged to a certain extent), the transmission between the reducer and rack enters a gradual reversal process, and the spring's rebound speed is slowed by the reducer, avoiding sudden, rapid rebound. When the rack reaches the end of its stroke (when the meshing transmission process with the reducer gear is completed), the pressure rod is released from the reducer's constraint, and the compressed spring instantly releases its elastic force, rapidly pushing the pressure rod upward. The impact force created by the tray at the top of the pressure rod bounces the baseball up, providing the trainee with a ball to hit. The outer shell protects the internal spring, reducer, and other components, preventing external factors from interfering with the internal transmission. The L-shaped support side and reinforcing rib structure of the N-shaped base enhance the strength and stability of the bottom support, ensuring the ball-launcher remains stable during training. The fixed rod serves as the support base, stabilizing the relative positions of each internal component. The pushing rod receives the baseball via the tray, transmits power, and is pushed up by the spring to achieve the ball-launching function. The reducer uses rack-and-pinion meshing and deceleration characteristics to precisely control the spring's rebound rhythm, allowing the timing and speed of the baseball's bounce to better suit training requirements.

[0010] The above description describes the present invention and its embodiments, but the scope of protection is not limited thereto. The drawings are merely an embodiment of the present invention, and actual applications are not limited thereto. In other words, any structural aspects and embodiments similar to the technical means designed by a person skilled in the art based on the suggestions, without departing from the creative spirit of the present invention, should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
