Description

Shuttlecock manufacturing equipment and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of badminton manufacturing, in particular to badminton manufacturing equipment and application thereof.

Background

With the continuous improvement of the living standard and health consciousness of people, more and more people begin to choose to participate in physical exercise in free time so as to strengthen physique. Numerous exercise items include both antagonistic and non-antagonistic sports, among which non-contact sports (sports in which the body is not in direct contact during participation) among the antagonistic sports are popular, such as badminton. The non-contact sports such as badminton is basically not limited by places, and bodies among all participants do not directly contact in the process of sports, so that the safety is high, the participants can well grasp the intensity of the sports process to achieve the effects of exercising all parts of the body and entertainment, and the badminton is gradually developed into a popular and happy sports mode for all ages.

In the process of playing badminton, a badminton, which is a medium for connecting two parties involved in the badminton, is one of the most important props. The badminton is played in the process that the two parties involved in the badminton strike the shuttlecock in the respective sites and then strike the shuttlecock back to the sites of the other parties. Because the feather part of the badminton and the connection position of the feather part and the ball head part are fragile, the situation that the connection position of the broken feather part and the ball head part is loose or falls off is easily caused in the process of beating the badminton, and once the original structure of the badminton is destroyed, the movement track of the badminton after being beaten becomes irregular, so that the badminton cannot be normally used. Accordingly, shuttlecocks that are frequently replaced during the course of a shuttlecock play are particularly consumable items that are consumed.

Shuttlecocks are typically comprised of a ball head and feathers that are implanted into the ball head. The manufacturing process of the badminton comprises the steps of firstly manufacturing the ball head and the feather respectively, then inserting the feather stems of the feather into preset implantation holes of the ball head, and fixing the ball head and the feather in a gluing mode between the ball head and the feather stems of the feather. Although mechanical manipulation is possible during the separate fabrication of the bulb and the feathers, this critical step in inserting the stems of the feathers into the implantation holes of the bulb is still only possible with conventional manual manipulation. Specifically, the production worker holds the ball head with one hand, holds the feather with the other hand and determines the feather planting direction of the feather, then the two hands are matched with each other to insert the feather peduncles of the feather into the planting holes of the ball head, and the feather planting operation of the ball head is completed in a mode that 16 feather are inserted into the planting holes of the ball head. There are a number of drawbacks to this manufacturing process used with shuttlecocks.

Firstly, the production efficiency of the shuttlecock is low, on the one hand, because the working process of implanting the shuttlecock into the ball head is relatively boring, and on the other hand, because the production worker becomes tired in the continuous and monotonous working process for a long time, especially the labor intensity of the hands of the production worker is high, so that the production worker can only adopt an intermittent working mode, namely, the production worker has to rest and relax the hands after continuous working for a period of time, which leads to uncontrollable continuity and production efficiency of the production process of the shuttlecock. Secondly, the quality of the badminton cannot be guaranteed, when a production worker inserts the feather stem of the feather into the implanting hole of the badminton head, the feather implanting direction of the feather can only be judged, and the feather implanting angle of the feather cannot be judged, so that the production worker can only insert the feather stem of the feather into the implanting hole of the badminton head according to feeling and experience, the consistency of the taper of the feather, the consistency of the angle of the feather and the badminton head and the consistency of the interval between adjacent feathers are poor, and the use of the badminton is affected due to irregular flying paths of the badminton in the air after the badminton is hit. That is, the quality of shuttlecocks is largely limited by the working experience and working state of the production workers, thereby making it difficult to effectively control the quality of shuttlecocks.

Detailed Description

The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. The preferred embodiments in the following description are by way of example only and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, modifications, equivalents, and other technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

FIG. 1A is a preferred embodiment of a shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus in accordance with the present invention wherein each work piece of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus is arranged in an in-line manner for the manufacture of shuttlecocks or shuttlecock semi-finished products. FIG. 1B is another preferred embodiment of a shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus in accordance with the present invention wherein each work piece of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus is arranged in an annular orientation for the manufacture of shuttlecocks or shuttlecock semi-finished products. It should be noted that fig. 1A and 1B only show two possible embodiments of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus, and the type of each work piece and the arrangement of each work piece of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus may be freely selected according to necessity.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus includes at least one fixture 10 and a bristle substrate supply device 20, the bristle substrate supply device 20 being for fixing a bristle substrate 200 to the fixture 10, or the bristle substrate supply device 20 being for manufacturing the bristle substrate 200 on the fixture 10.

The feather cocking base 200 is a semi-finished shuttlecock for subsequent implantation into a set of feathers 300 to form the shuttlecock. It should be noted that the feather 300 may be natural feather or artificial feather, and is selected according to specific needs of the shuttlecock. It is understood that the hair matrix supply device 20 may supply the manufactured hair matrix 200 to the fixture 10, or the hair matrix supply device 20 may cooperate with the fixture 10 to manufacture the hair matrix 200.

It should be noted that the implementation of the hair-planting base 200 may include: the bristle substrate 200 includes a ball head 201, the bristle substrate 200 includes a bristle holder 202, or the bristle substrate 200 includes the ball head 201 and the bristle holder 202 disposed on the ball head 201. When the bristle substrate 200 is manufactured by the bristle substrate supply device 20 and the fixing device 10 being matched with each other, the bristle substrate supply device 20 first fixes the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10, and then assembles the lower end of the bristle frame 202 on the plane of the ball head 201 to form the bristle substrate 200.

The bristle substrate supply device 20 includes a ball head operating unit 21, and the ball head operating unit 21 is used for fixing the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10.

The fixing device 10 is movable in a preset direction so that the fixing device 10 can be moved to a position corresponding to the ball head operating unit 21, whereby the ball head operating unit 21 can fix the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10. For example, in fig. 1A, the fixture 10 is movable in a linear direction so that the fixture 10 can be moved between each work piece, for example, the fixture 10 can be moved to a station where the ball head operating unit 21 is provided. Accordingly, in fig. 1B, the fixture 10 is movable in an annular direction to enable the fixture 10 to move between each workpiece.

The fixing device 10 forms a fixing space 11 for fixing the bristle substrate 200. For example, the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 allows the ball head 201 or the feather planting frame 202 to be accommodated therein, so as to reliably fix the feather planting base 200 when the shuttlecock or the shuttlecock semi-finished product is manufactured later. It should be noted that the shape and size of the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 are identical to those of the portion of the hair-planting base 200 to be fixed. For example, in the specific embodiment shown in the drawings, the shape and size of the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 are identical to those of the ball head 201, so that the ball head 201 can be fixed by the fixing device 10, and the fixing device 10 does not damage the ball head 201, thereby ensuring the reliability of the manufactured shuttlecock.

Preferably, the size of the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 is adjustable, so that the fixing device 10 can be used for fixing the feather planting base 200 with different specifications, thereby expanding the application range of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus.

In addition, the fixing device 10 may be embodied as a mechanical arm, so that the fixing device 10 can fix the hair-planting base 200 by clamping.

The ball head operating unit 21 further includes a ball head operating member 21, and the ball head operating member 211 is used to fix the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10.

In a preferred embodiment, the ball head operating member 211 may be implemented as a mechanical arm, so that the ball head operating member 211 can move and fix the ball head 201 to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 by sucking or gripping the ball head 201 from a mechanism for storing the ball head 201. It should be noted that the ball head operating member 211 may also be used to position the ball head 201 during the subsequent processing of the ball head 201, so that the ball head 201 can be reliably fixed to the fixing device 10. That is, after the ball head operating member 211 fixes the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10, the ball head operating member 211 is maintained at this position without being moved away, so that the ball head operating member 211 reliably fixes the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10.

The ball head operating unit 21 further includes a ball head supply member 212, and the ball head supply member 212 has a ball head supply space 2121 for storing the ball head 201 provided. The ball head operating member 211 is used to suck or clamp the ball head 201 from the ball head supply space 2121 of the ball head supply member 212 to move and fix the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10. It is noted that the fixing direction of the ball 201 is determined when the ball operating member 211 sucks or grips the ball 201 from the ball supply space 2121 of the ball supply member 212.

The ball head operating unit 21 further includes a ball head transfer member 213, the ball head transfer member 213 connecting the ball head supply member 212 and the ball head operating member 211, wherein the ball head transfer member 213 is configured to transfer the ball head 201 provided by the ball head supply member 212 to the ball head operating member 211 and fix the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10 via the ball head operating member 211.

Specifically, the ball head transfer member 213 forms a ball head transfer passage 2131, a high end portion of the ball head transfer passage 2131 communicates with the ball head supply space 2121 of the ball head supply member 212, and a low end portion of the ball head transfer passage 2131 corresponds to the ball head operation member 211 to supply the ball head 201 stored in the ball head supply space 2121 to the ball head operation member 211 through the ball head transfer passage 2131, thereby fixing the ball head 201 to the fixing device 10 through the ball head operation member 211.

Further, the ball head operating member 211 includes a ball head fixed operating element 2111 and a ball head movable operating element 2112. The ball end fixing operation member 2111 has a ball end operation groove 21111, and the ball end movement operation member 2112 is movably provided to the ball end operation groove 21111 of the ball end fixing operation member 2111 so that the ball end movement operation member 2112 can move along a track formed by the ball end operation groove 21111. The ball movement operating element 2112 has a ball movement operating channel 21121, and the ball movement operating channel 21121 of the ball movement operating element 2112 can correspond to the lower end of the ball movement transmitting channel 2131 or the securing device 10.

The ball head operation unit 21 has a ball head supply position and a ball head operation position, wherein the ball head operation unit 21 can be switched between the ball head supply position and the ball head operation position by changing positions of the ball head fixed operation element 2111 and the ball head movable operation element 2112 of the ball head operation member 21.

When the ball head operation unit 21 is located at the ball head supply position, a lower end portion of the ball head transfer passage 2131 corresponds to the ball head operation passage 21121, so that the ball head 201 can be supplied from the ball head supply space 2121 to the ball head operation passage 21121 through the ball head transfer passage 2131. The ball head movement operation member 2112 is driven to move along the track formed by the ball head operation groove 21111 of the ball head fixed operation member 2111, so that the ball head operation unit 21 is switched from the ball head supply position to the ball head operation position.

When the ball head operating unit 21 is located at the ball head operating position, the ball head operating element 2112 is moved so that the ball head operating channel 21121 corresponds to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 at the upper portion of the fixing device 10, so that the ball head 201 automatically falls into the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 due to its own weight to fix the ball head 201 to the fixing space 11. It is to be understood that the lower portion of the ball head operation passage 21121 is closed during the course of the ball head operation unit 21 being in the ball head supply position and moving from the ball head supply position to the ball head operation position, so that the ball head 201 supplied into the ball head operation passage 21121 is held in the ball head operation passage 21121.

In the ball head supply space 2121 of the ball head supply member 212, the fixing direction of the ball head 201 is determined, and the fixing direction of the ball head 201 is not changed when the ball head 201 is transferred through the ball head transfer passage 2131, so that the plane of the ball head 201 fixed to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 is always directed toward an operation direction, so that a shuttlecock is manufactured later or a shuttlecock semi-finished product is manufactured.

In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ball 201 is stored in the ball supply space 2121 of the ball supply member 212, and at this time, the fixing direction of the ball 201 is not determined, and the fixing direction of the ball 201 is determined by vibration during the course of the ball 201 being transferred to the ball transfer passage 2131 along the transfer path provided by the ball supply member 212. The ball head transmission passage 2131 has a size slightly larger than that of the ball head 201, so that the direction of the ball head 201 is not changed when the ball head 210, which is determined to be fixed, is transmitted through the ball head transmission passage 2131.

The ball end operating member 211 includes a ball end operating base 2113, one end portion of the ball end operating member 2111 is provided to the ball end operating base 2113, the other end portion of the ball end operating member 2111 extends outwardly to form a free end portion, and the fixing device 10 can correspond to the free end portion of the ball end operating member 2111 at a lower portion of the ball end operating member 2111 when being moved, so that the ball end operating channel 21121 of the ball end operating member 2112 can correspond to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 at an upper portion of the fixing device 10 when the ball end operating member 2112 moves along a track formed by the ball end operating groove 21111 of the ball end operating member 2111. That is, the ball head operating base 2113 is used to support the ball head fixed operating element 2111 and the ball head movable operating element 2112 to a predetermined height so that the ball head movable operating element 2112 is positioned at a higher level than the fixing device 10, thereby enabling the ball head 201 to be automatically fixed to the fixing device 10 from the ball head movable operating element 2112 by gravity.

The ball-end operating member 211 includes a ball-end operating bracket 2114 and a ball-end driving element 2115, the ball-end operating bracket 2114 is provided to the ball-end operating base 2113, the ball-end driving element 2115 is provided to the ball-end operating bracket 2114, and the ball-end driving element 2115 is provided to correspond to a free end portion of the ball-end operating element 2111. When the ball head operation unit 21 is switched from the ball head supply position to the ball head operation position, that is, when the ball head movable operation element 2112 is moved to the free end portion of the ball head fixed operation element 2111, the ball head driving element 2115 corresponds to the ball head operation channel 21121, so that when the ball head 201 is separated from the ball head operation channel 21121 by its own weight and falls into the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10, the ball head driving element 2115 moves downward to reliably fix the ball head 201 to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the ball head operating unit 21 fixes the ball head 201 to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10.

The ball 201 is provided to the ball supply space 2121 of the ball supply member 212. During the course that the ball 201 is transferred to the ball transfer member 213 through the supply path of the ball supply member 212, the direction of the ball 201 is adjusted by means of vibration to determine the fixing direction of the ball 201. The ball joint transmission passage 2131 transmits the ball joint 201 to the ball joint operation passage 21121 of the ball joint operation element 2112, in which the fixing direction of the ball joint 201 is not changed. It is worth mentioning that the ball 201 is held to the ball-end operating channel 21121 because the bottom of the ball-end operating channel 21121 is closed. The ball head movement operation member 2112 is driven to move along a track formed by the ball head operation groove 21111 of the ball head fixing operation member 2111 toward the free end portion of the ball head fixing operation member 2111 so that the lower and upper portions of the ball head operation passage 21121 correspond to the fixing space 11 of the fixing device 10 and the ball head driving member 2115, respectively. When the ball-end operation passage 21121 corresponds to the fixed space 11, the ball-end 201 automatically falls into the fixed space 11 due to the action of gravity, and in addition, the ball-end driving member 2115 can push the ball-end 201 downward at the upper portion of the ball-end 201, so that the ball-end 201 is reliably held in the fixed space 11. Through such a process as described above, the ball 201 is fixed to the fixing space 11 by the ball operating unit 21.

As shown in fig. 6, the bristle substrate supply device 20 includes a grooving unit 22, and a station where the grooving unit 22 is disposed is adjacent to a station where the ball head unit 21 is disposed. After the ball 201 is fixed on the fixing device 10 by the ball operating unit 21, the fixing device 10 is driven to move along a preset direction, so that the fixing device 10 drives the ball 201 to move to a position corresponding to the grooving unit 22, and an assembling groove 2011 is formed in the plane of the ball 201 by the grooving unit 22, so that the bristle planting frame 202 is assembled subsequently to form the bristle planting base 200.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus of the present invention may not be configured with the slot unit 22 if the ball 201 provided to the ball supply space 2121 of the ball supply member 212 is provided to the fitting slot 2011.

The slotting unit 22 comprises a slotting support 221 and a slotting element 222, wherein the slotting element 222 is movably arranged on the slotting support 221, and the slotting element 222 is used for forming the assembly slot 2011 on the plane of the ball head 201. As shown in the drawing, when the fixing device 10 drives the ball head 201 to rotate to a position corresponding to the grooving element 222, the grooving element 222 is moved toward the ball head 201, and the grooving element 222 is driven in a preset manner to open the assembly groove 2011 on the plane of the ball head 201. For example, the slotted element 222 may be rotated to rotationally form the mounting slot 2011 in the ball 201.

It should be noted that the shape and size of the fitting groove 2011 matches the shape and size of the slotting member 222. For example, in one embodiment, the slotted element 222 has a smooth surface such that the inner wall of the assembly slot 2011 in which the ball head 201 is formed by the slotted element 222 is also smooth, and in another embodiment, the slotted element 222 has a roughened surface such that the inner wall of the assembly slot 2011 in which the ball head 201 is formed by the slotted element 222 is also roughened.

As shown in fig. 7, the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus includes a sizing device 30, and the sizing device 30 further includes a ball head sizing unit 31, and a station where the ball head sizing unit 31 is disposed is adjacent to a station where the slot unit 22 is disposed. After the ball 201 is provided with the assembly groove 2011 by the grooving unit 22, the ball gluing unit 31 glues in the assembly groove 2011 of the ball 201, so that after the lower end of the bristle planting frame 202 is assembled in the assembly groove 2011 of the ball 201, the solidified glue connects the bristle planting frame 202 and the ball 201, thereby preventing the bristle planting frame 202 and the ball 201 from being separated from each other in the process of striking the shuttlecock.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments of the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus, the ball head sizing unit 31 may not be provided, but the bristle setting frame 202 may be assembled to the ball head 201 by pressing the lower end portion of the bristle setting frame 202 against the inner wall of the ball head 201 for forming the assembly groove 2011.

The ball head gluing unit 31 comprises a ball head gluing bracket 311 and a ball head gluing element 312, wherein the ball head gluing element 312 is movably arranged on the ball head gluing bracket 311, and the ball head gluing element 312 is used for gluing the ball head 201 in the assembly groove 2011. It should be noted that the glue applying portion of the ball-end glue applying element 312 has a shape and a size that are identical to those of the assembly groove 2011 of the ball-end 201, or the glue applying portion of the ball-end glue applying element 312 has a size that is smaller than that of the assembly groove 2011 of the ball-end 201, so that the glue is not applied to other positions of the ball-end 201 when the ball-end glue applying element 312 is applied to the assembly groove 2011 of the ball-end 201. Specifically, after the ball 201 is opened by the grooving unit 22 to form the assembly groove 2011, the fixing device 10 is driven to move along a preset direction, so that the fixing device 10 drives the ball 201 to move to a position corresponding to the ball gluing element 312 of the ball gluing unit 31, so that the ball gluing element 312 glues the ball into the assembly groove 2011.

As shown in fig. 8 to 12, the bristle substrate supply device 20 includes a bristle frame operating unit 23, and a station where the bristle frame operating unit 23 is disposed is adjacent to a station where the ball head gluing unit 31 is disposed, so that after the ball head gluing unit 31 performs an operation on the ball head 201 fixed to the fixing device 10, the bristle frame operating unit 23 continues to perform an operation on the ball head 201. That is, after the ball head gluing unit 31 glues the assembly groove 2011 of the ball head 201, the fixing device 10 is driven to move along a preset direction, so that the fixing device 10 drives the ball head 201 to be moved to a position corresponding to the bristle holder operating unit 23, and the bristle holder 202 is assembled in the assembly groove 2011 of the ball head 201 by the bristle holder operating unit 23, so as to manufacture a semi-finished badminton.

The hair-planting frame operating unit 23 further includes a hair-planting frame supplying member 231 and a fitting member 232, the hair-planting frame supplying member 231 is used for supplying the hair-planting frame 202, and the fitting member 232 is used for fitting the hair-planting frame 202 supplied by the hair-planting frame supplying member 231 to the ball head 201 to form a semi-finished badminton.

In this preferred embodiment of the hair-setting frame operating unit 23, as shown in fig. 8, the hair-setting frame supply member 231 has a hair-setting frame supply space 2311, and the fitting member 232 is implemented as a robot arm. When the fixing device 10 brings the ball head 201 to a position corresponding to the fitting member 232, which is implemented as a mechanical arm, acquires the bristle holder 202 from the bristle holder supply space 2311 by clamping or sucking, and fits the bristle holder 202 to the ball head 201 by inserting the lower end portion of the bristle holder 202 into the fitting groove 2011 of the ball head 201.

It should be noted that, after the lower end portion of the bristle holder 202 is inserted into the assembly groove 2011 of the ball head 201, the inner wall of the ball head 201 for forming the assembly groove 2011 is pressed to make the bristle holder 202 be assembled to the ball head 201. In addition, the glue applied to the inner wall of the assembly groove 2011 by the ball head glue applying unit 31 can connect the lower end portion of the hair-planting frame 202 and the inner wall of the assembly groove 2011 of the ball head 201 after curing, so that the hair-planting frame 202 is reliably assembled to the ball head 201.

In the preferred embodiment of the hair-setting frame operating unit 23, as shown in fig. 9, the hair-setting frame supplying member 231 comprises a hair-setting frame operating member 2312, the hair-setting frame operating member 2312 further comprises a hair-setting frame operating body 23121 and two hair-setting frame operating arms 23122, wherein the two hair-setting frame operating arms 23122 are symmetrically and movably provided to the free ends of the hair-setting frame operating body 23121, respectively, to form a hair-setting frame operating channel 23120 between the two hair-setting frame operating arms 23122 for operating the hair-setting frame 202.

Further, the hair-setting frame supply member 231 includes a hair-setting frame supply assembly 2313, the hair-setting frame supply assembly 2313 having a hair-setting frame supply channel 23130, a lower end of the hair-setting frame supply channel 23130 being capable of corresponding to the hair-setting frame operation channel 23120 of the hair-setting frame operation assembly 2312, so that the hair-setting frame 202 is supplied to be able to enter the hair-setting frame supply channel 23130 from a higher end of the hair-setting frame supply channel 23130 and be transferred to the hair-setting frame operation channel 23120 of the hair-setting frame operation assembly 2312 through the lower end of the hair-setting frame supply channel 23130.

The hair-setting frame operating unit 23 has a hair-setting frame supply position and a hair-setting frame operating position, and the hair-setting frame operating unit 23 can be switched between the hair-setting frame supply position and the hair-setting frame operating position by changing the horizontal position of the hair-setting frame operating member 2312. That is, the hair-setting frame operating assembly 2312 is movable.

When the hair-setting frame operating unit 23 is located at the hair-setting frame supply position, the hair-setting frame operating channel 23120 of the hair-setting frame operating member 2312 corresponds to the hair-setting frame operating channel 23120, and the two hair-setting frame operating arms 23122 hold the hair-setting frame 202 in the hair-setting frame operating channel 23120 by sandwiching the hair-setting frame 202. The hair-setting frame operating member 2312 is driven to move in a preset direction so that the hair-setting frame operating unit 23 is moved to the hair-setting frame operating position.

When the hair-setting frame operating unit 23 is located at the hair-setting frame operating position, the hair-setting frame operating channel 23120 is moved to a position corresponding to both the fixing device 10 and the fitting member 232.

That is, the mounting member 232 and the hair-setting frame supply assembly 2313 are both disposed on the hair-setting frame supply platform 2316.

As shown in fig. 10 to 12, the hair-setting frame operating unit 23 is configured to mount the hair-setting frame 202 to the ball 201 fixed by the fixing device 10.

The plurality of the hair-planting frames 202 are provided from the high end portion of the hair-planting frame supply path 23130 to the hair-planting frame supply path 23130 so as to overlap each other, and the hair-planting frames 202 automatically fall down to and are held by the low end portion of the hair-planting machine supply path 23130 due to the principle of gravity. The hair-setting frame operating unit 23 is located at the hair-setting frame supply position, and the two hair-setting frame operating arms 23122 hold the hair-setting frame 202 located at the lowermost portion so that the hair-setting frame 202 is held in the hair-setting frame operating channel 23120. The bristle setting motorized operating element 231212 is driven to move along the track formed by the bristle setting frame operating element 231211 so that the bristle setting frame operating unit 23 is located at the bristle setting frame operating position, in which the lower and upper parts of the bristle setting frame 202 held at the bristle setting frame operating channel 23120 correspond to the ball head 201 and the fitting member 232 fixed to the fixing device 10, respectively. The two bristle setting frame operating arms 23122 are opened outwards to enable the bristle setting frame 202 to be automatically separated from the bristle setting frame operating channel 23120 according to the gravity principle, and meanwhile, the assembling members 232 apply pressure in a top-down movement mode to enable the lower end portion of the bristle setting frame 202 to be inserted into the assembling groove 2011 of the ball head 201, so that the bristle setting frame 202 is assembled to the ball head 201 to form a semi-finished badminton.

It should be noted that the inner wall of the ball head 201 for forming the assembly groove 2011 presses the lower end portion of the feather planting frame 202, and at the same time, the glue applied to the inner wall of the assembly groove 2011 of the ball head 201 by the ball head glue applying unit 31 can connect the ball head 201 and the feather planting frame 202 after curing, so as to form a semi-finished badminton. When the semi-finished shuttlecock is hit by the shuttlecock made by implanting the feathers 300, the ball head 201 and the feather implanting rack 202 are not separated from each other, so as to ensure the quality of the shuttlecock.

As shown in fig. 13, the glue applicator 30 further includes a hair-planting frame glue applying unit 32, wherein the position where the hair-planting frame glue applying unit 32 is disposed is adjacent to the position where the hair-planting frame operating unit 23 is disposed, so that after the hair-planting frame operating unit 23 assembles the hair-planting frame 202 to the ball head 201, the hair-planting frame glue applying unit 32 applies glue in the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202, so that when the hair stems of the feathers 300 are inserted into the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202, the cured glue connects the hair-planting frame 202 and the feathers 300, thereby preventing the feathers 300 from being separated from the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202 during the process of striking the shuttlecock.

The hair-setting frame gluing unit 32 further comprises a hair-setting frame gluing bracket 321 and a hair-setting frame gluing element 322, the hair-setting frame gluing element 322 being movably arranged to the hair-setting frame gluing bracket 321, wherein the hair-setting frame gluing element 322 is used for gluing the hair-setting holes of the hair-setting frame 202. Specifically, after the bristle holder operating unit 23 assembles the bristle holder 202 to the ball head 201 to make a semi-finished product, or the bristle holder operating unit 23 fixes the bristle holder 202 to the fixing device 10, the fixing device 10 is driven to move to a position corresponding to the bristle holder applying unit 32 in a preset manner to apply glue into the implanted pores of the bristle holder 202 by the bristle holder applying element 322 of the bristle holder applying unit 32.

The fixture 10 is rotatable to drive the bristle holder 202 in a synchronous rotational motion simultaneously with the rotational motion of the fixture 10, thereby causing the bristle holder applicator elements 322 of the bristle holder applicator unit 32 to apply glue into each of the bristle holes of the bristle holder 202. Preferably, the hair-setting frame glue applicator 322 is a pin-hole glue applicator to avoid glue from being applied to the exterior of the hair-setting frame 202 when the hair-setting frame glue applicator 322 of the hair-setting frame glue applicator unit 32 performs a glue application operation on the hair-setting frame 202.

As shown in fig. 14 to 17, the shuttlecock manufacturing apparatus includes a feather planting device 40, the feather planting device 40 is disposed at a station adjacent to a station where the feather planting frame gluing unit 32 is disposed, so that after the feather planting frame gluing unit 32 performs a gluing operation on the feather planting holes of the feather planting frame 202, the feather planting device 40 can implant the feathers 300 into the feather planting holes of the feather planting frame 202 to manufacture shuttlecocks or shuttlecock semi-finished products.

Specifically, the hair-planting device 40 includes a positioning portion 41 and a hair-planting portion 42 adjacently disposed to the positioning portion 41. The positioning portion 41 is capable of positioning the hair-planting base 200 at the fixing device 10 while driving the fixing device 20 to be moved to a position corresponding to the positioning portion 41 in a predetermined manner, and the hair-planting portion 42 performs a hair-planting operation on the hair-planting base 200.

The positioning portion 41 further includes a positioning bracket 411, a positioning sliding element 412 slidably disposed on the positioning bracket 411, and a first positioning element 413 disposed on the positioning sliding element 412. When the positioning sliding element 412 slides up and down along the track formed by the positioning bracket 411, the track formed by the positioning sliding element 412 drives the first positioning element 413 to synchronously interact downwards, so that the first positioning element 413 positions the hair-planting base 200 on the fixing device 10 in a manner of being held in the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202, thereby facilitating the hair-planting portion 42 to implant the feathers 300 into the hair-planting frame 202.

Preferably, the lower portion of the first positioning member 413 of the positioning part 41 is implemented as a conical shape matching with the standard taper of the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202 in such a manner that, on one side, the first positioning member 413 of the positioning part 41 is held in the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202 to position the hair-planting base 200, and on the other side, the first positioning member 413 supports the hair-planting frame 202 outwardly in the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202 to maintain the taper of the hair-planting frame 202 in the standard state, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the hair-planting device 40 to implant the feathers 300 into the hair-planting frame 20.

Further, the positioning portion 41 includes a second positioning element 414, and an upper end portion of the second positioning element 414 is selectively disposed on one of the first positioning element 413 and the positioning sliding element 412, where the positioning sliding element 412 can drive the first positioning element 413 and the second positioning element 414 to move synchronously.

Specifically, when the positioning sliding member 412 drives the first positioning member 413 to move downward so that the first positioning member 413 is held in the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202, the positioning sliding member 412 drives the second positioning member 414 to move downward synchronously so that the lower end portion of the second positioning member 414 abuts against the hair-planting tube of the hair-planting frame 202, whereby the second positioning member 414 can secure the inclination of the hair-planting tube of the hair-planting frame 202 and the effect of guiding the hair-planting portion 42 to insert the hair peduncles of the feathers 300 into the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202, in such a manner that the accuracy and efficiency of the hair-planting device to implant the feathers 300 into the hair-planting base 200 can be improved.

The second positioning element 414 of the positioning portion 41 has a bristle guiding slot 4141 at its lower end. The hair-planting guide groove 4141 of the second positioning member 414 corresponds to the hair-planting hole of the hair-planting frame 202 when the lower end portion of the second positioning member 414 abuts against the hair-planting tube of the hair-planting frame 202, so that the hair-planting guide groove 4141 of the second positioning member 414 guides the hair peduncles of the feathers 300 to be accurately inserted into the hair-planting hole of the hair-planting frame 202 to complete the hair-planting operation.

The hair-planting portion 42 includes a hair-stem holding member 421, and the hair-stem holding member 421 further includes a hair-stem holding member 4211 for holding the hair stems of the feathers 300 and inserting the hair stems of the feathers 300 into the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202, thereby performing a hair-planting operation on the hair-planting base 200.

The hair planting portion 42 includes a feather dispensing member 422, the feather dispensing member 422 includes a dispensing body 4221, and the dispensing body 4221 is disposed adjacent to the stem gripping element 4211.

The dispensing body 4221 has a dispensing passage 42211 and an inlet 42212 and an outlet 42213 communicating with the dispensing passage 42211 at the upper and lower ends of the dispensing passage 42211, respectively. The stem gripping elements 4211 are adjacently disposed to the outlet 42213 of the dispensing body 4221 so that the stem gripping elements 4211 can grip the feathers 300 stems when the stem portions of the feathers 300 are dispensed from the dispensing body 4221 by exposing the dispensing channels 42211 from the outlet 42213. It should be noted that, the feather distributing member 422 can determine the direction of the feather 300 when distributing the feather 300, and the feather distributing member 422 can also provide the feather 300 to the peduncles 4211 after determining the direction of the feather 300, so as to facilitate the following peduncles 4211 to perform the hair-planting operation.

Specifically, the feathers 300 enter the distribution channel 42211 in such a way that the peduncles first enter the inlet 42212 of the distribution body 4221 to complete the determination of the direction of the feathering of the feathers 300. Within the dispensing passage 42211, the feathers 300 automatically slide from top to bottom according to the principle of gravity. When the feather 300 is dispensed through the outlet 42213 of the dispensing body 4221, the feather stem gripping element 4211 is capable of gripping the feather stem of the feather 300 when the feather stem portion of the feather 300 is exposed to the outlet 42213, and then the feather stem gripping element 211 applies a force to the feather 300 along the length direction of the feather 300 to withdraw the feather 300 from the dispensing passage 42211. It will be appreciated that by applying force to the feathers 300 along the length of the feathers 300, the feathers 300 can be kept from being damaged when dispensed by the dispensing body 4221.

The width and depth of the inlet 42212 of the distribution channel 42211 of the distribution body 4221 are both greater than the width and thickness of the feathers 300 to enable the feathers 300 to enter the distribution channel 42211 from the inlet 42212 and slide from top to bottom within the distribution channel 42211. The width of the outlet 42213 of the dispensing body 4221 is slightly less than the width of the feathers 300 and the depth of the outlet 42213 is slightly greater than the thickness of the feathers 300 so that when the feathers 300 slide within the dispensing channel 42211 to the lower end of the dispensing channel 42211, only the feather stem portion of the feathers 300 emerges from the outlet 42213 from the dispensing channel 42211 such that the feathers 300 are held in place in the dispensing body 4221. Subsequently, the stem holding member 4211 holds the stem portion of the feather 300 that is exposed to the outlet 42213, and applies force to the feather 300 along the length direction of the feather 300 to take out the feather 300 from the distribution channel 42211. It will be appreciated that the inner wall of the dispensing body 4221 does not damage the feathers 300 because the force applied to the feathers 300 by the stem clamping elements 4211 follows the direction of the growth of the feathered portions of the feathers 300.

Further, the feather dispensing member 422 further comprises a driving body 4222, wherein the driving body 4222 is operatively and adjacently disposed to the dispensing body 4221, wherein the driving body 4222 is capable of moving along the height direction of the dispensing body 4221 so that when the feather 300 is taken out of the dispensing passage 4221 by the feather 300 being forced by the feather clamping element 4211, the driving body 4222 ejects the feather 300 out of the dispensing passage 42211 at the upper end of the feather 300.

As shown in fig. 15 to 17, the feather 300 is implanted into the hair-planting base 200 by the hair-planting device 40.

After the planting holes of the planting frame 202 are glued by the planting frame gluing unit 32, the fixing device 10 is driven to move along a preset manner to a position corresponding to the positioning portion 41. The positioning sliding element 412 drives the first positioning element 413 and the second positioning element 414 to slide synchronously from top to bottom, so that the first positioning element 413 is held in the inner space of the hair-planting frame 202 and the lower end of the second positioning element 414 abuts against the hair-planting tube of the hair-planting frame 202, and at this time, the hair-planting guiding groove 4141 of the second positioning element 414 corresponds to the hair-planting hole of the hair-planting frame 202.

The feathers 300 are oriented and dispensed by the dispensing body 4221 in such a way that the peduncles first enter the inlet 42212 of the dispensing passage 42211 of the dispensing body 4221. Within the dispensing channel 42211, the feathers 300 slide from top to bottom from the upper end to the lower end of the dispensing channel 42211 according to the principle of gravity, and when the feather stem portions of the feathers 300 are exposed from the outlet 42213 to the dispensing channel 42211, the feathers 300 are held in place because the width of the feather stem portions of the feathers 300 is greater than the width of the outlet 42213. The stem gripping member 4211 grips a stem portion of the feather 30 exposing the outlet 42213 and applies force to the feather 300 along a length direction of the feather 300 to take out the feather 300 from the distribution channel 42211. At the same time, the drive body 4222 is manipulated into the dispensing passage 42211 to eject the feathers 300 out of the dispensing passage 42211 at the upper end of the feathers 300. The peduncles holding member 4211 performs the hair-planting operation on the hair-planting base 200 by inserting the peduncles of the feathers 300 into the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202.

The fixing device 10 drives the hair-planting base 200 to rotate synchronously when rotating so as to kill the hair-planting holes at different positions of the hair-planting frame 202, which can correspond to the hair-stem clamping elements 4211, so that the hair-stem clamping elements 4211 can implant the feathers 300 into all the hair-planting holes of the hair-planting frame 202 to manufacture shuttlecocks or shuttlecock semi-finished products.

As shown in fig. 18, a modified embodiment of the hair-planting portion 42 is shown, wherein the hair-planting portion 42 includes a hair-stem holding member 421, the hair-stem holding member 421 further includes a hair-stem holding member 4211 and a guiding member 4212, the guiding member 4212 is adjacently disposed to the positioning portion 41, and the hair-stem holding member 4211 is operatively disposed to the guiding member 4212. The guiding element 4212 is used to guide and limit the movement direction of the stem clamping element 4211, for example, the guiding element 4212 is used to limit the movement direction and the movement amplitude of the stem clamping element 4211, so that the stem clamping element 4211 can clamp the stem of the feather 300 to insert the stem of the feather 300 into the implantation hole of the implantation frame 202 subsequently.

The hair-planting portion 42 further includes a feather supply member 423, the feather supply member 423 providing a feather supply space 4231 for storing the supplied feathers 300. The guide member 4212 is for guiding the stem holding member 4211 to take the feathers 300 from the feather supply space 4231 to insert the stems of the feathers 300 into the implantation holes of the implantation frame 202.
