Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pick ball processing, specifically to a clamp for opening holes in pick balls. Background Technology

[0002] Pickleball is a sport in which a ball is hit with a racket. Some say it's a hybrid of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, suitable for all ages and popular with many. During the manufacturing process, several holes need to be drilled into the surface of the pickle. Traditional hole-drilling equipment typically uses clamps with two curved plates to hold the ball. This structure requires a person to hold the ball with their hand, and once the plates are clamped, the hand must be released, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] The patent publication number CN221891443U, entitled "A Rotary Clamp for Hole-Opening Processing of Pickballs," discloses a technical solution that, through the cooperation of a limiting and tightening component and a movable clamping claw, can quickly clamp pickballs. The ring of the limiting and tightening component can wrap around the circumference of the pickball. Subsequently, when the movable clamping claw presses against the pickball, stability is greatly improved. After placement, friction allows the hand to easily remove itself, making operation more convenient and significantly improving production safety. However, in use, only one pickball can be placed and processed at a time, resulting in low efficiency. To meet production needs, a clamp for hole-opening pickballs needs to be designed to stably clamp multiple pickballs to be processed simultaneously, thereby improving work efficiency. Utility Model Content

Figure 5 Here is a schematic diagram of the top clamping seat (I); Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the top clamping seat (II). Detailed Implementation

[0012] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a clamp for drilling holes in pickles includes a base plate 1, a top plate 12 above the base plate 1, a support rod 13 detachably fixed between the base plate 1 and the top plate 12 for support, a lower support plate 6 between the base plate 1 and the top plate 12, and the lower support plate 6 is detachably fixed to the support rod 13. Specifically, a connecting rod 14 is fixed to the side of the lower support plate 6, and the connecting rod 14 is detachably fixed to the support rod 13. A plurality of lower clamping components 7 are rotatably connected to the top of the lower support plate 6, evenly spaced along its circumference, for clamping the lower part of the pickle to be processed. A driving device is provided below the lower support plate 6 to drive the lower clamping components 7 to rotate. The driving device drives the lower clamping components 7 to rotate, thereby... The upper support plate 10 is located above the lower support plate 6. The bottom of the upper support plate 10 is rotatably connected to an upper clamping component 9, which corresponds to the lower clamping component 7. This component is used to clamp the upper part of the pick ball to be processed. A telescopic rod 11 is detachably fixed to the top of the upper support plate 10. The top of the telescopic rod 11 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the top plate 12. This rod is used to move the upper support plate 10 and the upper clamping component 9 up and down, making it easier to place and clamp the pick ball to be processed. Both the lower clamping component 7 and the upper clamping component 9 include a rotatable clamping seat 20. The clamping seat 20 is approximately hemispherical and has several through holes 21 for easy drilling.

[0013] The through hole 21 can be selected from, for example, Figure 5 The circular hole shown can also be selected as... Figure 6 The strip-shaped hole shown can also be replaced with other shapes that are easy to drill.

[0014] The telescopic rod 11 preferably adopts conventional telescopic devices such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and electric push rods.

[0015] A placement plate 8 is provided between the upper support plate 10 and the lower support plate 6. A placement seat 15 corresponding to the lower clamping assembly 7 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 8. A bearing that cooperates with the placement seat 15 is installed on the placement plate 8. A placement hole is provided in the middle of the placement seat 15. A silicone ring 16 is fixed on the inner wall of the placement hole, so that the pick ball to be processed can be placed in the placement hole of the placement plate 8 in advance. The outer wall of the pick ball to be processed is in tight contact with the inner wall of the silicone ring 16.

[0016] A handle 17 is fixed at the middle of the top of the placement plate 8, and a plug-in post 18 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the placement plate 8. A support post is detachably fixed at the top of the lower support plate 6. The support post is provided with a plug-in hole corresponding to the plug-in post 18. Holding the handle 17 makes it easy to install and remove the placement plate 8. The placement plate 8 and the lower support plate 6 can also be connected by other conventional detachable installation methods.

[0017] An inner connecting sleeve 22 is fixed in the middle of the outer wall of the top clamping seat 20. The top clamping seat 20 is provided with a through hole communicating with the inner connecting sleeve 22, so that a drill bit can be set above the upper support plate 10 or below the lower support plate 6 to drill holes in its top or bottom. An outer connecting sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to both the upper support plate 10 and the lower support plate 6. Both the upper support plate 10 and the lower support plate 6 are provided with bearings that cooperate with the outer connecting sleeve 5. The inner connecting sleeve 22 and the outer connecting sleeve 5 are detachably fixedly connected. The two can be connected by threads, that is, an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the outer connecting sleeve 5 and an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the inner connecting sleeve 22 to cooperate with it. The two can also be detachably fixedly connected by screws or the like.

[0018] The drive unit includes a drive motor 2 that is detachably fixed to the top of the base plate 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 2 is vertically upward and is equipped with a drive gear 3. The bottom of the outer connecting sleeve 5 on the lower support plate 6 extends to the bottom of the lower support plate 6 and is equipped with a driven gear 4. The driven gear 4 meshes with the drive gear 3. The drive gear 3 and the output shaft of the drive motor 2, as well as the driven gear 4 and the outer connecting sleeve 5, can be connected by conventional methods such as key connection. The drive motor 2 drives the top clamping seat 20 and the pick ball to be processed to rotate through the drive gear 3, the driven gear 4, the outer connecting sleeve 5 and other components.

[0019] This invention facilitates the simultaneous and stable clamping of multiple pickles to be processed, improving work efficiency. In use, the pickles to be processed are placed in the placement holes of the placement plate 8 beforehand. Then, holding the handle 17 of the placement plate 8, the insertion pin 18 at the bottom of the placement plate 8 is inserted into the insertion hole of the support pin. The lower part of the pickle to be processed is positioned within the clamping seat 20 of the lower support plate 6. The telescopic rod 11 extends, causing the upper support plate 10 and the upper clamping assembly 9 to move downwards, so that the corresponding clamping seat 20 on the upper support plate 10 clamps against the upper part of the pickle to be processed. After the pickle to be processed is clamped between the upper clamping assembly 9 and the lower clamping assembly 7, a drilling device is used to drill a hole. The drill bit penetrates the through hole 21 to drill. The drilling device can be set in a suitable position such as the support rod 13. After drilling one side is completed, the drive motor 2 is powered on and drives the drive gear 3 to rotate. The drive gear 3 drives the driven gear 4 to rotate and drives the upper clamping component 9, the lower clamping component 7, and the pick ball to be processed to rotate to a suitable position through the outer connecting sleeve 5. The drive motor 2 stops working to facilitate drilling other parts of the pick ball. This process is repeated. After processing is completed, the telescopic rod 11 drives the upper support plate 10 and the upper clamping component 9 to move upward. Then, the handle 17 on the placement plate 8 is held to disassemble it and the processed pick ball is taken off.
