DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0077] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Embodiment 1

[0078] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 2, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided, which includes a block A, a block B and a block C. The block A, the block B and the block C are integrally formed.

[0079] For the convenience of description, a length direction of the integrated rail is defined as a Y-direction, a height direction of the integrated rail is defined as a Z-direction, and a width direction of the integrated rail is defined as an X-direction.

[0080] The integrated rail is arranged along an edge of a playing field of the pool table. The block B is arranged at an inner side of the block C. A bottom surface of the block B is higher than a bottom surface of the block C, such that the bottom surface of the block B can be connected to the inner side of the block C to form a mounting surface for fitting the edge of the playing field. A top surface of the block C and a top surface of the block B are both horizontal and at the same height (i.e., the block C and the block B are in the same horizontal plane).

[0081] The bottom surface of the block B is provided with a bottom embedding groove 101 along a length direction, and the bottom embedding groove 101 is configured to crimp a bottom of a table cloth of the playing field.

[0082] The block A is arranged on the top surface of the block B, and an outer end of the block A extends horizontally outward. The block A is provided with a top embedding groove 102 along a length direction, and the top embedding groove 102 is configured to crimp a top end of the table cloth.

[0083] A handrail is provided on a top of the block C. The handrail can be a fixedly connected handrail or an integrated handrail.

[0084] The above integrated rail adopts an integrally-formed overall structure. First of all, the integrated rail has an integrated structure, of which individual portions are made of the same material. The stress generated by striking of a billiard ball can be spread through the entire rail, such that the stress can be evenly distributed, thereby allowing a player to have the same hitting sensation when hitting the billiard ball against the rail with various strengths at various angles, which can reduce the uncertainty when hitting the billiard ball and enhance the game experience. Secondly, compared with the traditional steel rails, it is not required to separately produce the steel plate and the back-lining wooden strip, and the separate processing, positioning and assembly procedures of the steel plate and the back-lining wooden strip are also eliminated, simplifying the manufacturing process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0085] The integrated rail can be integrally made of a metal material or a non-metal material. The metal material can be an aluminum alloy, and the non-metal material can be a carbon fiber or a fiber reinforced plastic.

[0086] In some embodiments, the integrated rail can be made of the aluminum alloy. The stress distribution of the integrated rail is more uniform than that of the steel rail when stricken by the billiard ball, such that under the same working conditions, a maximum stress in the integrated rail is less than a maximum stress in the steel rail. Therefore, the aluminum alloy with a relatively small elastic modulus can be selected to ensure that the strain of the integrated rail can meet requirements under different working conditions. Moreover, the aluminum alloy has low density, light weight, easy processing, high strength, high toughness and excellent corrosion resistance, which can reduce a weight of the rail and extend a service life of the rail.

[0087] In addition, simulation analysis was conducted on the integrated rail made of aluminum alloy and the steel rail. The results showed that under the same collision speed and incident angle, the integrated rail is generally better than the steel rail in terms of rebound kinetic energy loss rate and rebound accuracy. When weights of the rebound kinetic energy loss rate and the rebound accuracy are both 0.5, a comprehensive evaluation of all collision conditions is conducted. It can be obtained that the integrated rail has a higher score than the steel rail, i.e., the integrated rail made of the aluminum alloy has better resilience.

Embodiment 2

[0088] Referring to an embodiment in FIGS. 4-5, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiment 1. A block C is configured to be divided by a vertical dividing plane I into a sub-block CI and a sub-block CII from the inside to the outside. The sub-block CI is located at an inner side of the vertical dividing plane I, and the sub-block CII is located at an outer side of the vertical dividing plane I. An inner side of the sub-block CI is integrally formed with the block B. The sub-block CII is integrally formed on an outer side of the sub-block CI.

[0089] Compared with the arrangement of the sub-block CI only, the presence of the integrated handrail can allow the stress generated by hitting the billiard ball to spread in a wider range and result in a more uniform stress distribution, thereby allowing the player to have the same hitting sensation when hitting the billiard ball against the rail with various strengths at various angles, which can reduce the uncertainty when hitting the billiard ball and enhance the game experience.

[0090] A minimum area S.sub.min of an XY cross-section of the sub-block CI needs to satisfy Formula (1):

[00006]$\begin{array}{cc}{S}_{\min }\frac{F_{\max }}{{}_s}.& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

[0091] After an external force is applied to the sub-block CI, an X-direction stress F is generated in the sub-block CI. Influencing factors of F include various horizontal forces exerted on the sub-block CI, such as a ball speed when the billiard ball strikes against the rail, a weight of the sub-block CII and a vertical force exerted by the player on the handrail. .sub.s is a yield limit of a material of the integrated rail.

[0092] Based on a horizontal force exerted on the sub-block CI, such as a maximum ball speed when hitting the billiard ball to strike against the rail (the maximum ball speed when the billiard ball hits the rail is an empirical value, and 30 m/s is used in an actual simulation calculation), an actual weight of the sub-block CII and a maximum vertical force exerted by the player on a CII area (a maximum vertical force exerted by the player on the handrail is a preset value, which can be set according to actual needs) and other external forces, a maximum stress F.sub.max in the X-direction, which is generated in the sub-block CI, can be calculated comprehensively. According to Formula (1), when a length of the sub-block CI in the Y-direction is determined, a minimum thickness of the sub-block CI in the X-direction can be calculated, so as to reduce the consumption of materials to the maximum extent while meeting the strength requirements. In some embodiments, the length of the sub-block CI in the Y-direction is 1260 mm, and a yield limit of the aluminum alloy is 265 MPa.

Embodiment 3

[0093] Based on Embodiment 2, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided, where a mass of a portion of a block A located at an inner side of a vertical dividing plane I is M.sub.A1, a mass of a portion of the block A located at an outer side of the vertical dividing plane I is M.sub.A2, a mass of a block B is M.sub.B, a mass of a sub-block CI is M.sub.CI, and a mass of a sub-block CII is M.sub.CII. M.sub.A1, M.sub.A2, M.sub.B, M.sub.CI and M.sub.CII satisfy Formula (2):

[00007]$\begin{array}{cc}{M}_{A1}+M_B+M_{CI}{M}_{A2}+M_{\mathrm{CII}}.& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

[0094] According to Formula (2), a gravity center of the integrated rail is located on the sub-block CI or at an inner side of the sub-block CI, which can reduce the influence of a moment generated by a weight of the sub-block CII on the stability of the rail, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the rail and achieving the labor-saving assembly.

[0095] An outer end of the block A extends horizontally outward along a top surface of the block B to the vertical dividing plane I, which can provide necessary conditions for maximizing the strength of the sub-block CII. The reason is that according to Formula (1), when a value of (M.sub.A1+M.sub.B+M.sub.CI) is determined, in order to ensure that M.sub.CII reaches the maximum, i.e., to ensure that the sub-block CII has a maximum thickness in a height direction, so as to provide a maximum support strength for the handrail, M.sub.A2=0, i.e., the outer end of the block A extends horizontally outward along the top surface of the block B to the vertical dividing plane I.

[0096] In some embodiments, a dividing plane between the block B and the sub-block CI is a vertical dividing plane II, and the outer end of the block A extends horizontally outward along the top surface of the block B to the vertical dividing plane II, i.e., an outer end surface of the block A is vertically flush with an outer surface of a playing field, allowing for an elegant appearance.

Embodiment 4

[0097] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 3, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiment 2 or 3. A sub-block CII is a top support plate 103 integrally formed on an outer surface of a sub-block CI. An inner surface of the top support plate 103 is integrated with the sub-block CI, and extends outward in a horizontal direction, which can be configured to support the handrail provided thereon, such that the handrail can be arranged above the top support plate 103 to facilitate the mounting of the handrail.

Embodiment 5

[0098] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 4, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiment 2 or 3. A sub-block CII includes a top support plate 103 and a bottom support plate 104, which are integrally formed with a sub-block CI. A bottom support plate 104 is arranged below the top support plate 103 and parallel to the top support plate 103. A thickness of the top support plate 103 is greater than that of the bottom support plate 104 (a dimension in a height direction of the support plate is defined as the thickness, i.e., a Z-direction as shown in FIG. 4). A vertical decorative plate is provided between the top support plate 103 and the bottom support plate 104, thereby making a peripherical structure of the pool table simple and improving the overall appearance of the pool table. The top support plate 103 is mainly configured to bear load, such that the thickness of the top support plate 103 is greater than that of the bottom support plate 104 to ensure the strength of the top support plate 103.

Embodiment 6

[0099] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 5, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiment 2 or 3. In an embodiment, a block C only includes a sub-block CI, excluding a sub-block CII. A top of the block C is fixedly connected with a handrail (such as a wooden handrail or other handrail, which is not shown in FIG. 5).

[0100] The above vertical dividing plane I and vertical dividing plane II are dividing planes for dividing blocks for convenience of description, and each block is actually integrally formed.

Embodiment 7

[0101] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 6, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiment 1 or 2. In this embodiment, an outer end of a block A directly extends horizontally outward along a top surface of a block B to a top of a block C as an integrated handrail. A top embedding groove 102 is provided on a top surface of the block A, which can facilitate the crimping of a table cloth.

[0102] In this embodiment, the handrail is integrally formed, and separate processing and positioning assembly procedures of the handrail are eliminated, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0103] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the block C only includes a sub-block CI. A width of the handrail is greater than that of the sub-block CI (i.e., a size of the handrail in an X-direction). According to Formula (1) in Embodiment 3, when a mass M.sub.CII of a sub-block CII is zero, it can be ensured that a mass M.sub.A2 of a portion of the block A located at an outer side of a vertical dividing plane I is the largest, such that when a width of the block A in the X-direction and a length of the block A in a Y-direction are determined, the block A has a largest thickness and a greatest strength in a Z-direction.

[0104] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 8, the block C includes the sub-block CI and the sub-block CII. The sub-block CII is a bottom support plate 104. An inner side of the bottom support plate 104 is integrated with the sub-block CI. The bottom support plate 104 is spacedly arranged below the block A and parallel to the block A. A vertical decorative plate can be provided between a bottom surface of the block A and the bottom support plate 104, thereby making a peripherical structure of the pool table simple.

[0105] In some embodiments, the width of the block A (i.e., a size along the X-direction) is 12-16 cm, such as 12 cm, 12.5 cm, 13 cm, 13.5 cm, 14 cm, 14.5 cm, 15 cm, 15.5 cm and 16 cm.

Embodiment 8

[0106] Referring to an embodiment in FIG. 9, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided based on Embodiments 1-7. A protruding structure is integrally formed on an inner surface of a block B as a support structure for a rubber strip. The protruding structure can be a support strip 106 extending along a length direction of the rail. A rubber strip II 111 is arranged on the support strip 106. The support strip 106 is integrally formed, and separate processing and positioning assembly procedures of lower-lining wooden strips are eliminated, thereby further simplifying the manufacturing process and improving the assembly efficiency. A cross section of the support strip 106 can be rectangular, L-shaped, etc.

[0107] A height H from a top surface of the support strip 106 to a playing field can be calculated through Formula (3):

[00008]$\begin{array}{cc}H=R\left(1+\sin \right)-Z1.& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

[0108] As shown in FIG. 9, a striking point of a billiard ball on the rubber strip II 111 is defined as J, and the striking point is higher than a center of the billiard ball in a vertical direction. R is a radius of the billiard ball. is an angle between a line OJ connecting the center O of the billiard ball and the striking point J and the playing field, which satisfies 28. Z1 is a vertical distance between the striking point J on the rubber strip and the top surface of the support strip 106. When a cross section of the rubber strip II 111 is rectangular, Z1=0.

[0109] The height H from the top surface of the support strip 106 to the playing field is greater than the radius of the billiard ball, such that the striking force generated by when the billiard ball strikes against the rubber strip can form an oblique downward component to prevent the billiard ball from jumping upward, thus preventing the billiard ball from jumping when the billiard ball strikes against the rubber strip.

Embodiment 9

[0110] Referring to a specific embodiment in FIGS. 10-12, an integrated rail for a pool table is provided. In this embodiment, a sub-block CI is integrated with a block A and a block B to form a main body 118. A block CII includes a top support plate 103 and a bottom support plate 104. A bottom surface of the block B is connected to an inner surface of the block C to form a right-angled open groove 117.

[0111] Materials of the main body 118, the top support plate 103 and the bottom support plate 104 are all aluminum alloy.
