Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of basketball processing technology, and more specifically to a basketball processing system and processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Basketballs consist of an inner bladder and an outer skin. The inner bladder is usually made of elastic rubber, while the outer skin can be made of various materials, such as artificial leather or leather. During the basketball manufacturing process, the inner bladder needs to be inflated to the standard size before the outer skin is glued onto it. However, in reality, the gluing process is done manually, requiring not only control of the inner bladder but also application of force to both the inner and outer skins to adhere the outer skin to the inner bladder. There is a lack of a manufacturing method that can replace manual operation, automatically process basketballs, and automatically glue the outer skin onto the inner bladder. Therefore, this application proposes a basketball manufacturing system and method that can improve the efficiency of basketball manufacturing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a basketball processing system and method that can improve the processing efficiency of basketballs.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] Step 2: Place the inner liner on the processing system and inflate it;

[0008] Step 3: Secure the inner liner firmly and apply glue to its surface;

[0009] Step 4: Attach the cut leather pieces to the surface of the inner lining one by one;

[0010] Step 5: Use a processing system to roll the leather and the inner lining together;

[0011] Step Six: Continue to inflate the inner liner and use the processing system to press the leather firmly onto the inner liner.

[0012] The processing system includes a disc fixedly connected to a column, a bottom tube rotatably connected to the disc, a lead screw rotatably connected to the column, a crossbeam connected to the lead screw, and a motor connected to the crossbeam. Two rotating seats are provided, one of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other is rotatably connected to the bottom tube.

[0027] Through observation Figure 1 The process of manufacturing a basketball can be derived from the diagram.

[0028] A basketball manufacturing method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: Clean the leather after cutting it;

[0030] Step 2: Place the inner liner on the processing system and inflate it; then attach the corresponding air inlets to the two leather pieces on the inner liner.

[0031] Step 3: Secure the inner liner firmly and apply glue to its surface;

[0032] Step 4: Paste the cut leather pieces onto the surface of the inner liner one by one, covering the entire outer surface of the inner liner;

[0033] Step 5: Use a processing system to roll the leather and the inner lining together;

[0034] Step Six: Continue to inflate the inner liner and use the processing system to press the leather firmly onto the inner liner;

[0035] The above method can speed up the process of bonding the inner lining to the leather, achieve automatic glue application, and make the leather bond more firmly by inflating the inner lining with air, while being constrained by the processing system and the leather itself.

[0036] Through observation Figures 2 to 10 An exemplary working process for clamping the inner liner can be obtained from the figure as follows:

[0037] The processing system includes a disc 01 fixedly connected to a column 06, a bottom tube 02 rotatably connected to the disc 01, a lead screw 07 rotatably connected to the column 06, a crossbeam 05 connected to the lead screw 07, and a motor 04 connected to the crossbeam 05. Two rotating seats 03 are provided, one fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 04, and the other rotatably connected to the bottom tube 02. The lead screw 07 is driven to rotate by a reduction motor mounted on the column 06. After the inner liner is inflated, it can be placed on the lower rotating seat 03. Then, the reduction motor drives the lead screw 07 to rotate, causing the lead screw 07 to slide and rise / fall on the column 06, thereby causing the motor 04 and the upper rotating seat 03 to descend and contact the upper rotating seat 03 with the inner liner. The two rotating seats 03 clamp the inflated inner liner for secure fixation.

[0038] Through observation Figures 2 to 10 An exemplary working process for automatically inflating the inner liner, as shown in the diagram, is as follows:

[0039] A telescopic rod 09 is fixedly connected to the bottom tube 02. A flat plate 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 09. An external air tube and an air needle 11 for inflating the inner liner are fixedly connected to the flat plate 10. The telescopic rod 09 drives the flat plate 10 to raise the air needle 11. Then, the air inlet on the inner liner is aligned with the air needle 11 and the air needle 11 is inserted. Subsequently, an air source is used to inflate the inner liner, causing its volume to expand. After expanding to the standard size, the inner liner can be clamped. At this time, the telescopic rod 09 can drive the flat plate 10 and the air needle 11 to descend and move out of the inner liner.

[0040] Through observation Figures 2 to 10 An exemplary automated processing procedure can be derived from the diagram as follows:

[0041] A slide 08 is fixedly connected to the disc 01. Two sliding beams 12 are slidably connected in the slide 08. Both ends of the front sliding beam 12 are connected to a screw 13. The inner end of each screw 13 is rotatably connected to a side frame 14 that slides on the end of the sliding beam 12. An inner tube 15 is fixedly connected to each side frame 14. A sponge sleeve 16 that can rotate on the inner tube 15 is fitted on each inner tube 15. The inner tube 15 is made of elastic hard plastic material, and several openings are formed on the side wall of the inner tube 15 to connect the inside and outside of the inner tube 15. The inner bladder has a through round hole. When in use, after the leather is pasted onto the inner bladder, the screw 13 can be rotated to move the side frame 14 closer to the leather, and the inner tube 15 will move the sponge sleeve 16 to contact the leather. At the same time, the deformation of the inner tube 15 will make it conform to the arc structure of the basketball surface, so that the sponge sleeve 16 can contact the curved leather surface. When the motor 04 drives the turntable 03 to rotate, the inner bladder with pasted leather will rotate. The inner tube 15 and the sponge sleeve 16 will roll and compact the leather, making the leather pasted more even and firm.

[0042] Furthermore, one of the inner tubes 15 is connected to a steam delivery pipe; during the rolling process, high-temperature steam is sprayed out through the inner tube 15 and applied to the leather, thereby softening the leather while rolling it, making the leather softer and able to fit tightly to the inner lining.

[0043] Furthermore, another inner tube 15 is connected to a pipe for conveying glue; the glue is sprayed out through the inner tube 15, and the sponge sleeve 16 is used to spread the glue evenly on the inner liner, thereby completing the glue application. The process of applying glue, pasting leather, and rolling leather can be carried out in sequence.

[0044] Through observation Figures 2 to 10 An exemplary working process for surface compaction, as shown in the figure, is as follows:

[0045] A cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding beam 12 located on the rear side, and a ball cover 18 is fixedly connected to the inner end of each cylinder 17. After the leather is rolled, the sliding beam 12 located on the front side can be slid away from the inner liner, and the sliding beam 12 located on the rear side can be moved to the position of the inner liner. Then, the two cylinders 17 are deliberately used to drive the two ball covers 18 to cover the inner liner. Then, air is injected into the inner liner to increase the pressure in the inner liner, thereby increasing the force between the inner liner and the leather. The ball cover 18 restricts the inner liner to press the leather from the inside, thereby making the leather adhere more firmly.

[0046] Furthermore, the outer wall of the ball cover 18 is provided with a heating wire connected to an external power source; this allows the ball cover 18 to be heated during use, raising its temperature, which in turn softens the leather during pressing, improving the bonding effect, and also speeds up the drying process of the adhesive, thus increasing processing efficiency.
