Inclination-adjustable golf training device

Abstract

Disclosed is an inclination-adjustable golf training device capable of optionally changing the inclination of its platform, on which a player stands to practice his golf swing, in order to simulate the condition of a real golf course, thereby obtaining an enhanced training effect. The golf training device includes an upper plate assembly, to which a ball supply unit and a controller are internally mounted, the upper plate assembly including an upper plate, on which a player stands to practice his golf swing, a lower plate assembly adapted to support the upper plate while being spaced apart from the upper plate, a vertical reciprocating unit mounted on the lower plate assembly while including driving and driven parts operating to adjust the inclination of the upper plate with respect to the lower plate assembly in all radial directions. The vertical reciprocating unit has four operating points for reciprocation arranged on a circle about the center of the upper plate while being uniformly spaced from one another in a circumferential direction, the operating points being arranged in pairs so that the operating points of each operating point pair are opposite to each other while performing vertical movements of the upper plate in opposite directions by the same distance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to a golf training device, and more particularly to an inclination-adjustable golf training device capable of optionally changing the inclination of its platform, on which a player stands to practice his golf swing, in order to simulate the conditions of a real golf course, thereby obtaining an enhanced training effect.[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art[0004] Various golf training devices have been proposed to allow persons to practice their golf swing.[0005] Golf training devices conventionally used for indoor golf training are mainly classified into a training device mainly used for practicing of golf putting, and a training device mainly used for practicing of golf shots.[0006] The present invention is mainly concerned with the latter golf training device used for practicing of golf shots.[0007] Hereinafter, "golf training device" represents a device for practicing golf shots.

Benefits of technology

0023] Another object of the invention is to provide an inclination-adjustable golf training mat which includes a golf ball supply unit mounted to an upper plate assembly while being vertically movable to continuously supply golf balls, the golf ball supply device being retracted into an upper plate included in the upper plate assembly during the

Problems solved by technology

However, all known proposals have a drawback in that the structure for transmitting power required to adjust the inclination of the upper plate is very complex and heavy, so that it involves inconvenience in use.

This shift forces the shaft support point to be shifted, thereby causing a torsion of the shaft.

For this reason, it is difficult to install the golf shot training device.

Furthermore, the maintenance of the golf shot training device is difficult.

Although a servo motor or hydraulic jacks are used to generate drive power, this golf training mat requires a number of hydraulic jacks, and is complex in terms of power equipment.

Furthermore, a large amount of power is consumed for adjustment of inclination.

Since the golf training mat is also heavy, it has drawbacks in that it is dif
