Shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device

[0001] The present invention relates to a shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device that aligns shuttlecocks to have a direction and automatically loads the aligned shuttlecocks into a shuttlecock case.

[0002] A large number of shuttlecocks are used in badminton training conducted in practice facilities such as gymnasiums.

[0003] For example, when practicing serves or smashing, a large number of shuttlecocks are consumed, and the shuttlecocks are scattered and dropped all over the practice range.

[0004] Meanwhile, in order to clean up the shuttlecocks that have fallen on the practice floor, you carry a basket around, pick up the scattered shuttlecocks one by one, and then put them back in the shuttlecock case in a directional manner.

[0005] However, there was a problem that the work of organizing the aforementioned shuttlecocks into shuttlecock cases required a lot of effort and time as each one had to be done manually.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide an automatic shuttlecock alignment and loading device that aligns shuttlecocks to have directionality by applying vibration to shuttlecocks collected to swing up and down, and automatically loads the aligned shuttlecocks into a shuttlecock case.

[0007] In particular, the present invention aims to provide a shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device that is easy to manufacture and maintain due to its simple structure and can satisfy the purchasing needs of consumers at a low price.

[0009] In the present embodiment, the main body includes a head provided in a tubular shape having an open upper portion and a closed lower portion and capable of containing collected shuttlecocks therein; a base spaced apart from the lower portion of the head; and a column vertically connecting the head and the base; in the closed lower portion of the head, discharge holes for discharging aligned shuttlecocks are formed at equal angular intervals, and vertical cylindrical discharge rims for guiding the discharge of shuttlecocks are formed to protrude outward from the lower outer surface of the head, and installation grooves facing the discharge holes are formed on the upper surface of the base, and shuttlecock cases can be vertically installed between the facing discharge rims and the installation holes.

[0010] In this embodiment, the shuttlecock cases have a vertical cylindrical shape with a hollow interior and open top and bottom, and can be provided transparently or translucently so that the shuttlecocks loaded inside can be checked.

[0011] In the present embodiment, a shuttlecock-cutting means having a "U" cross-sectional shape made of a synthetic resin having its own elasticity is installed on the discharge rim through the lower side of the discharge rim so as to surround the outer surface of the discharge rim, and a drawing hole is formed in the closed lower part of the shuttlecock-cutting means that communicates with the inside of the discharge rim, and the drawing hole is formed to have a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter formed by the feathers of the shuttlecock, and the drawing hole is expanded in diameter by the shuttlecock case pushing up the closed lower part of the shuttlecock-cutting means when the upper side of the shuttlecock case is installed on the discharge rim, and the diameter of the drawing hole can be elastically restored when the shuttlecock case is separated from the discharge rim.

[0012] In this embodiment, the closed lower portion of the shuttlecock catching means may have cut lines formed extending from the center of the extraction hole toward the closed lower edge of the shuttlecock catching means.

[0013] In the present embodiment, a shuttlecock control means having an inverted funnel shape made of a synthetic resin having its own elasticity is installed on the lower side of the discharge rims, and an extraction hole is formed on the inner side of the shuttlecock control means with a diameter that gradually increases from the upper side to the lower side, a cut line is formed on one side so that the extraction hole can be elastically expanded and restored, a connecting piece connected to the lower side of the discharge rim is integrally formed on the upper side, and the upper side of the extraction hole is formed to have a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter formed by the feathers of the shuttlecock, and when the upper side of the shuttlecock case is installed on the discharge rim, the diameter of the extraction hole is expanded by the shuttlecock case that is inserted and supported into the inner side of the extraction hole, and when the shuttlecock case is separated from the discharge rim, the diameter of the extraction hole can be elastically restored.

[0014] In this embodiment, an elastic support means for elastically supporting a shuttlecock case is installed in the installation grooves, and the elastic support means may include a lifting plate that is movably fitted inside the installation groove; and a compression coil spring installed between the lower surface of the lifting plate and the bottom surface of the installation groove.

[0015] In this embodiment, the swing part is provided in a horizontal disk shape and includes a swing plate that is installed movably inside the head so that shuttlecocks contained inside the head are placed on the upper surface side; and a vibration means that provides vibration so that the swing plate swings up and down; and the swing plate may have alignment holes formed facing the discharge holes to guide shuttlecocks aligned so that the cork is directed downward toward the discharge holes.

[0016] In this embodiment, the swing plate may be formed with one or more guides extending vertically from the lower surface of the swing plate to the outside of the lower surface, and a guide hole may be formed in the closed lower portion of the head into which the guides are slidably fitted.

[0018] In this embodiment, the swing plate is formed with anti-folding means formed in a ring shape with an inner surface having the same diameter as the diameter of the alignment hole, and the anti-folding means are formed on the lower surface of the swing plate to correspond to each alignment hole, and the inner surface of the anti-folding means may be formed as a sloped surface whose width gradually increases from the upper side to the lower side.

[0019] According to the present invention, since the shuttlecocks are automatically inserted and loaded into the shuttlecock case while being aligned to have a certain direction, the effort and time required to organize the shuttlecocks into the shuttlecock case can be significantly reduced.

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an automatic shuttlecock alignment and loading device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0027] Figures 1 to 7 of the attached drawings are schematic drawings showing a shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device according to the present invention.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device (100) according to the present invention includes a main body (110) that temporarily stores collected shuttlecocks (SC; see FIGS. 3 to 7), a vibration unit (140) that aligns the shuttlecocks (SC) stored in the main body (110) by vibrating them up and down so that the aligned shuttlecocks (SC) are discharged from the main body (110), and shuttlecock cases (160) in which the shuttlecocks (SC) discharged from the main body (110) sequentially fall and are loaded in a row.

[0029] Here, the alignment of the shuttlecocks (SC) means that the cork (C) of the shuttlecocks (SC) is positioned on the lower side (downward) due to gravity, and the feather (S) of the shuttlecocks (SC) is positioned on the upper side (upward) of the cork (C).

[0030] And the shuttlecock cases (160) have a vertical cylindrical shape with a hollow interior and open upper and lower portions, and are provided transparently or semi-transparently so that the shuttlecocks (SC) loaded inside can be checked.

[0031] First, the main body (110) includes a head (112), a base (114) spaced apart from the lower side of the head (112), and a column (116) vertically connecting the head (112) and the base (114).

[0032] The head (112) is provided in the shape of a conventional barrel with an open upper portion and a closed lower portion as shown, and can contain collected shuttlecocks (SC) inside, and the base (114) is provided in the shape of a horizontal plate with a predetermined thickness as shown.

[0033] At this time, the upper surface of the base (114) is spaced apart from the lower side of the head (112) so as to face the closed lower outer surface of the head (112), and the column (116) vertically connects the center of the upper surface of the base (114) and the center of the lower outer surface of the head (112) so that the head (112) is supported on the base (114).

[0034] And, in the closed lower part of the head (112), discharge holes (118) for discharging shuttlecocks (SC) aligned by the operation of the swing part (140) are formed at equal angular intervals adjacent to the closed lower edge of the head (112) so as not to interfere with the column (116), and a cylindrical discharge rim (120; rim) is formed in each of the discharge holes (118) so as to protrude outward from the lower outer surface of the head (112) so as to guide the discharge of the shuttlecocks (SC).

[0035] Here, the discharge rim (120) can be formed by bending the closed lower part of the head (112) when forming the discharge hole (118).

[0036] And on the upper surface of the base (114), installation grooves (122) facing the discharge holes (118) are formed to sink from the upper surface of the base (114) toward the lower surface.

[0037] At this time, a vertical cylindrical shuttlecock case (160) is installed vertically between the facing installation groove (122) and the discharge rim (120) of the discharge hole (118).

[0038] For example, the upper side and the lower side of the shuttle talk case (160) can be inserted into the inner side of the discharge rim (120) and the installation groove (122), respectively, and installed vertically between the installation groove (122) and the discharge rim (120) of the discharge hole (118) facing each other.

[0039] Meanwhile, a shuttlecock control means (124) for controlling the discharge of the shuttlecock (SC) when the shuttlecock case (160) is separated is installed in each discharge rim (120), and an elastic support means (128) for elastically supporting the shuttlecock case (160) when the shuttlecock case (160) is installed is installed in each installation groove (122).

[0040] The shuttlecock control means (124) is made of a synthetic resin having its own elasticity, for example, soft rubber or silicone, and is formed to have a cross-sectional shape roughly in the shape of the letter "??".

[0041] The upper side of the shuttlecock control means (124) is installed on the discharge rim (120) through the lower side of the discharge rim (120) so as to surround the outer surface of the discharge rim (120), and an extraction hole (126) communicating with the inside of the discharge rim (120) is formed in the closed lower part of the shuttlecock control means (124).

[0042] At this time, the extraction hole (126) is formed to have a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter formed by the feathers (S) of the shuttlecock (SC).

[0043] That is, when the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is installed on the discharge rim (120), the diameter of the extraction hole (126) is expanded by the shuttlecock case (160) that pushes up the closed lower part of the shuttlecock control means (124), and the closed lower part of the shuttlecock control means (124) is elastically bent upward by the shuttlecock case (160) and comes into close contact with the outer surface of the shuttlecock case (160) that is connected to the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160).

[0044] Conversely, when the shuttlecock case (160) is separated from the discharge rim (120), the closed lower part of the shuttlecock catcher (124) that is elastically bent toward the upper side and the diameter-expanded extraction hole (126) are elastically restored, whereby the feather (S) of the shuttlecock (SC) that is not inserted into the inner side of the shuttlecock case (160) and is accommodated inside the discharge rim (120) is caught in the extraction hole (126) and waits for discharge (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0045] Preferably, the closed lower part of the shuttlecock control means (124) may be formed with cut lines (not shown) extending from the center of the draw-out hole (126) toward the closed lower edge of the shuttlecock control means (124) so ​​that the closed lower part can be easily and flexibly bent while the draw-out hole (126) can be easily expanded.

[0046] FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are schematic drawings showing another embodiment of the shuttlecock control means illustrated in FIG. 2. The shuttlecock control means (224) may be made of a synthetic resin having its own elasticity, for example, a typical plastic.

[0047] The shuttlecock control means (224) can be formed to have an inverted funnel shape in which the diameter gradually increases from the upper side to the lower side as shown.

[0048] At this time, a hole (226) is formed on the inside of the shuttlecock control means (224) whose diameter gradually increases from the upper side to the lower side, and the upper side of the hole (226) is formed to have a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter formed by the feathers (S) of the shuttlecock (SC).

[0049] And, on one side of the shuttlecock control means (224), a cut line (228) is formed so that the withdrawal hole (226) can be flexibly expanded and restored, and on the upper side of the shuttlecock control means (224), a connecting piece (230) that is connected to the lower side of the discharge rim (120) without interfering with the withdrawal hole (226) is integrally formed.

[0050] That is, when the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is installed in the discharge rim (120), the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is inserted into the inside of the extraction hole (226), whereby the extraction hole (226) expands so that the shuttlecock (SC) can be inserted into the inside of the shuttlecock case (160) and elastically supports the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160).

[0051] Conversely, when the shuttlecock case (160) is separated from the discharge rim (120), the expanded extraction hole (226) is elastically restored, whereby the feather (S) of the shuttlecock (SC) that is not inserted into the inner side of the shuttlecock case (160) and is accommodated inside the discharge rim (120) is caught in the restored extraction hole (226) and waits for discharge (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

[0052] The elastic support means (128) includes a lifting plate (130) and a compression coil spring (132) that supports the lifting plate (130) so that it can be raised and lowered elastically.

[0053] As shown, the elevator plate (130) is movably fitted into the interior of the installation groove (122), and the compression coil spring (132) is installed between the lower surface of the elevator plate (130) and the bottom surface of the installation groove (122).

[0054] That is, when installing the shuttlecock case (160), if a load is applied to the lower side of the shuttlecock case (160) and the lower side of the shuttlecock case (160) is inserted into the installation groove (122), the lift plate (130) is lowered by compressing the compression coil spring (132) by the shuttlecock case (160).

[0055] And under this condition, when the load applied to the elevator plate (130) is recovered, the compression coil spring (132) is restored and raises the elevator plate (130), whereby the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is inserted into the shuttlecock control means (124, 224) installed in the discharge rim (120).

[0056] Conversely, when a load is applied to the lower side of the shuttlecock case (160) when the shuttlecock case (160) is separated, the lifting plate (130) is lowered by compressing the compression coil spring (132) by the shuttlecock case (160), and at this time, the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is separated from the discharge rim (120), and when the upper side of the shuttlecock case (160) is separated from the discharge rim (120), the lower side of the shuttlecock case (160) is separated from the installation groove (122) (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0057] In FIGS. 1 to 7, the head (112) and the base (114) are illustrated as having a vertical cylindrical shape and a horizontal disc shape, respectively, but the head (112) and the base (114) are not limited to having a cylindrical shape and a disc shape, respectively.

[0058] In addition, although not shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the open upper portion of the head (112) may be optionally closed by a cover, and conventional casters may be installed on the lower surface of the base (114) to enable movement of the shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device (100) according to the present invention.

[0059] The vibration unit (140) includes a vibration plate (142) and a vibration means (148) that provides vibration so that the vibration plate (142) swings up and down.

[0060] The swing plate (142) is provided in a horizontal disc shape and is installed so as to be able to move up and down inside the head (112) so that the shuttlecocks (SC) contained inside the head (112) are placed on the upper surface side as shown (see FIG. 5).

[0061] At this time, the alignment holes (144) facing the discharge holes (118) formed in the head (112) are formed at equal angular intervals in the same manner as the discharge holes (118) in the swing plate (142).

[0062] And, on the swing plate (142), one or more guides (146) are formed that extend vertically from the lower surface of the swing plate (142) to the outside of the lower surface, and a guide hole (134) into which the guide (146) is slidably fitted is formed on the closed lower part of the head (112).

[0063] The guide (146) and guide hole (134) formed in this way enable the swing plate (142) to swing in a straight line without shaking left and right.

[0064] The vibration means (148) is installed in a closed lower inner surface of the head (112) or in a column (116) connected to the head (112) so as to be connected to the lower surface side of the vibration plate (142).

[0065] When power is supplied to the vibration means (148) installed in this manner, it outputs vibration in the up-and-down direction to cause the swing plate (142) to swing up-and-down (see Fig. 6), whereby the shuttlecocks (SC) contained on the upper surface of the swing plate (142) are aligned so that the cork (C) of the shuttlecock (SC) rises toward the upper side of the swing plate (142) and the cork (C) of the shuttlecock (SC) is lowered.

[0066] At this time, some of the shuttlecocks (SC) aligned so that the cork (C) faces downward are inserted toward the alignment hole (144), and the shuttlecocks (SC) inserted toward the alignment hole (144) fall toward the discharge hole (118) facing the alignment hole (144) due to their own weight and are then inserted and loaded into the shuttlecock case (160) along the discharge rim (120) (see FIG. 7).

[0067] Here, the configuration of the vibration means (148) and the connection relationship between the vibration means (148) and the oscillating plate (142) are not particularly limited in the present invention.

[0068] In other words, if the vibration means (148) is connected to the swing plate (142) and can swing the swing plate (142) in the up-and-down direction, the vibration means (148) may have any configuration, and the vibration means (148) and the swing plate (142) may have any connection relationship.

[0069] For example, the vibration means (148) may be a conventional reciprocating linear actuator.

[0070] Meanwhile, in the swing plate (142), folding prevention means (150) are formed to prevent the feathers (S) of the shuttlecocks (SC) from bending outward even when shuttlecocks (SC) guided toward the discharge holes (118) through the alignment holes (144) or shuttlecocks (SC) stagnant at the discharge rims (120) of the discharge holes (118) are struck by the swing plate (142).

[0071] The folding prevention means (150) are formed in a circular shape with an inner surface having the same diameter as the diameter of the alignment hole (144), and the folding prevention means (150) are formed on the lower surface of the swing plate (142) corresponding to each alignment hole (144).

[0072] And the inner surface of the folding prevention means (150) is formed as a slope (152) whose width gradually increases from the upper side to the lower side.

[0073] The inclined surface (152) of the folding prevention means (150) formed in this way comes into contact with the extended end side of the feather (S) of the shuttlecock (SC) guided toward the discharge hole (118) through the alignment hole (144) when the oscillating plate (142) descends or the extended end side of the feather (S) of the shuttlecock (SC) stagnant at the discharge rim (120) of the discharge hole (118), and the extended end side of the feather (S) of the shuttlecock (SC) that comes into contact with the inclined surface (152) of the folding prevention means (150) is bent toward the center of the diameter formed by the extended end of the feather (S) along the inclined surface (152) so as not to be bent.

[0074] The shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device (100) according to the present invention formed in this manner can significantly reduce the effort and time required to organize shuttlecocks (SC) in the shuttlecock case (160) because the shuttlecocks (SC) are automatically inserted and loaded into the shuttlecock case (160) while being aligned to have a certain direction.

[0075] In addition, the shuttlecock automatic alignment and loading device (100) according to the present invention is easy to manufacture and maintain due to its simple structure, and can satisfy the purchasing needs of consumers at a low price.

[0076] The intrinsic technical idea of ​​the present invention is not limited in its possible implementation by the embodiments described above, and encompasses a range that can be easily proposed by a person skilled in the art through a method of substitution or change.

[0077] In addition, the terms used in the description of the present invention have been selected for the convenience of explanation, and therefore, in understanding the intrinsic technical idea of ​​the present invention, they should be appropriately interpreted in a meaning that is consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention, without being limited to the dictionary meaning.
