Mechanical Ball Launcher for Realistic Cricket Simulation

The ball launcher employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow the launch angle, lateral angle, and speed to be changed during operation. This enables the system to adapt to different cricket bowling scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple base structure, resolving the contradiction between realism and complexity.

The launcher uses parameter adjustment mechanisms (angle and speed controls) to vary ball delivery characteristics. By changing physical parameters rather than redesigning the entire mechanism, the system achieves realistic ball trajectories without proportionally increasing device complexity.

The system incorporates sensors that detect ball position, batsman position, and other game parameters, providing real-time feedback to the control system. This feedback loop enables automatic adjustment of ball delivery parameters to maintain realistic simulation without requiring overly complex manual control mechanisms.

The patent replaces manual mechanical control with electronic sensors and control systems. Instead of purely mechanical adjustment mechanisms, electronic sensing and control are used to manage the ball launcher, reducing the complexity of mechanical components while improving simulation realism.

The batsman mechanism is divided into separate functional components (hitting arm, bat, positioning system) that can operate independently. This segmentation allows each component to be simplified while maintaining overall realism, as each segment performs a specific function rather than requiring a fully complex replicated human arm.

The batsman mechanism creates a simplified copy of human batting action using mechanical arms and bats positioned to resemble human players. Rather than perfectly replicating human anatomy and movement, the system uses simplified mechanical copies that capture the essential batting motion, reducing complexity while maintaining immersion.
