Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recycling old golf balls, in particular to an automatic positioning and feeding type golf ball shell stripping device. Background Art

[0002] Golf balls include single-layer balls, double-layer balls, triple-layer balls and multi-shell balls. The innermost part of double-layer balls, triple-layer balls and multi-shell balls is the core structure. The outer shell of the sphere is mostly hard rubber, plastic or a rubber-plastic mixture with a thickness of about 1 mm. Single-layer balls are one-piece balls mainly used as practice balls, double-layer balls are the most commonly used balls, triple-layer balls and multi-shell balls are more expensive. These balls are easy to control when hitting and are only used by golfers with a higher level. Although golf balls are small in size and relatively simple in structure, they require very high manufacturing technology. The stronger the hit, the farther the ball can be hit. In order to obtain the best hitting feel, it is hoped that any hitting force will produce the best result. Golf balls that have been used for a period of time need to be replaced frequently. At the same time, if the hit is not accurate, it is easy to produce cracks and cuts, which reduces the service life. Since they are consumables, usually only the outer shell is damaged and cannot be used normally. The manufacturing cost and use cost are high. If they are recycled and reused, the industry has broad development prospects and is environmentally friendly, energy-saving and reduces environmental pollution.

[0003] When the existing stripping equipment strips the golf ball shell, part of the shell is likely to remain on the center of the ball, which is difficult to detect. The stripping is often performed manually after stripping, which is labor-intensive and has low economic benefits. In addition, when positioning the golf ball, deviation is likely to occur, resulting in stripping failure.

[0004] Therefore, a golf ball cover stripping device capable of automatically positioning and detecting the cover stripping effect is needed to meet the needs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic positioning and feeding type golf ball cover stripping device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: the golf ball cover stripping equipment includes a frame, a feeding assembly, a positioning assembly, a blocking assembly, a cutting assembly, a control assembly, a pressing assembly, a blanking assembly and a power assembly. The feeding assembly is tightly connected to the frame, and the discharge port of the feeding assembly faces the blocking assembly. The power assembly is provided with four groups. The power assembly is tightly connected to the frame, the positioning assembly and the cutting assembly are respectively transmission-connected to the power assembly, the blocking assembly is tightly connected to the positioning assembly, the control assembly is electrically connected to the power assembly, the control assembly is tightly connected to the frame, the pressing assembly is tightly connected to the frame, the blanking assembly is tightly connected to the frame, a blanking hopper is provided on the frame, and the blanking assembly faces the opening direction of the blanking hopper.

[0007] The frame provides an installation basis for each component. The feeding component is used to send the golf balls to the processing position in sequence for shell peeling. The power component provides power to the positioning component and the cutter component. The material blocking component is used to prevent the golf balls from deviating when they are discharged from the feeding component. The control component is used to control the movement of the power component, and then control the movement of the positioning component and the cutter component. The positioning component is used to position the golf balls at the processing position to prevent the position of the golf balls from deviating and affecting the processing quality. The clamping component fixes the golf balls at the processing position and drives the golf balls to rotate. The cutter component is pushed by the power component to approach the rotating golf balls and peel off the shell. After the peeling is completed, the blanking component works to push the golf balls into the blanking hopper for collection.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a vibration plate and a feeding pipe. The vibration plate is firmly connected to the frame. The discharge port of the vibration plate is connected to the feed port of the feeding pipe. The discharge port of the feeding pipe faces the blocking assembly.

[0009] When the vibration plate works, the golf balls placed in the vibration plate are transported to the feeding tube in sequence through vibration. The feeding tube is placed at an angle. Under the action of its own gravity, the golf balls will roll to the position of the blocking assembly. The blocking assembly can prevent the golf balls from deviating.

[0010] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a bracket and a cylinder, the bracket is fastened to the frame, the cylinder is fastened to the bracket, the positioning assembly includes a positioning head and an air pump, the positioning head is communicated with the air pump, the air pump is fastened to the bracket, two positioning heads are provided, the two positioning heads are transmission-connected to the cylinder, and the two positioning heads are arranged facing each other.

[0011] The power assembly is fixed to the frame through a bracket, providing an installation base for the cylinder. The positioning assembly is used to position the golf ball that falls onto the material retaining assembly. The cylinder pushes the two positioning heads to move toward each other and positions the golf ball by clamping it. The air pump can provide additional suction to the positioning head, thereby improving the positioning efficiency of the golf ball and preventing the golf ball from slipping.

[0012] Furthermore, circular grooves are provided on the two positioning heads, ventilation holes are provided on the circular grooves, and the ventilation holes are connected to the air pump.

[0013] When the air pump works, negative pressure is formed on the circular groove through the vent hole. Because the inner liner of the golf ball is made of elastic material and the outer shell is made of hard material, when the two ends of the inner liner of the golf ball are subjected to suction, they will be stretched and separated from the outer shell, making it easier to peel off the outer shell and preventing incomplete peeling.

[0014] Furthermore, the cutter assembly includes a first cutter and a second cutter, the first cutter and the second cutter are respectively connected to the cylinder transmission, the first cutter and the second cutter are arranged facing each other, the first cutter is provided with two blades, the blade head of the second cutter is arc-shaped, and the spacing between the two blades of the first cutter is the same as the blade head size of the second cutter.

[0015] The cutter assembly, driven by the cylinder, peels off the outer shell of the golf ball on the pressing assembly in sections. The rotating roller drives the golf ball to rotate. The first cutter, driven by the cylinder, moves toward the golf ball and sticks to the golf ball to peel off the outer shell on both sides of the golf ball. Then, the second cutter, driven by the cylinder, sticks to the golf ball and peels off the outer shell in the middle of the golf ball. The success rate of peeling off the outer shell is improved by peeling off in sections, and the outer shell is prevented from sticking to the inner liner.

[0016] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a driving motor, a rotating roller, a pressure roller, a fixed frame, a pressing actuator, and an elastic element. The driving motor is drivingly connected to the rotating roller, the rotating roller and the pressure roller are arranged opposite to each other, the pressure roller is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, the pressing actuator is drivingly connected to the elastic element, the elastic element is firmly connected to the fixed frame, the elastic element is electrically connected to the control assembly, the elastic element includes a shell, a spring, a moving rod, and a magnet. The shell is drivingly connected to the pressing actuator, a moving cavity is provided in the shell, the magnet is slidably connected to the moving cavity, the spring is firmly connected to the magnet, the moving rod is firmly connected to the magnet, the end of the moving rod away from the magnet is firmly connected to the fixed frame, a coil is wound on the shell, and the coil is electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0017] When the golf ball falls into the retaining assembly, the driving motor drives the rotating roller to rotate, thereby driving the golf ball to rotate, pressing the actuator to move, pushing the elastic element downward, thereby driving the fixed frame to move downward, and then pushing the pressure roller downward, fixing the position of the golf ball on the rotating roller, so as to facilitate the cutter assembly to peel off the shell. The elastic element is used to ensure the effect of shell peeling. When the pressure roller is pressed downward, the moving rod will move upward under the push of the pressure roller, thereby pushing the magnet to move upward, and the spring will be compressed by force. When the shell of the golf ball is peeled off, because the shell has a certain thickness, the diameter of the golf ball will become smaller, the spring will stretch, and push the magnet to move downward along the moving cavity, and drive the pressure roller downward through the moving rod to prevent the golf ball from being separated due to insufficient pressing force. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the magnet will pass through the coil when moving downward to generate current. The control component detects the current, and it can be judged that the shell of the golf ball has been completely peeled off. And according to the longer the distance the magnet moves downward, the greater the current, the cutting depth of the cutter assembly can be automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the shell to meet the shell peeling of golf balls with shells of different thicknesses, and the compatibility is high.

[0018] Furthermore, the material blocking assembly is located on a side close to the driving motor, and includes a ball blocking arm, a rotating element and a connecting piece. The ball blocking arm is transmission-connected to the rotating element, the rotating element is firmly connected to the connecting piece, the connecting piece is firmly connected to the bracket, the ball blocking arm is spoon-shaped, and the ball blocking arm is located above the rotating roller.

[0019] The connecting piece provides an installation base for the material blocking assembly. The material blocking assembly uses a spoon-shaped ball blocking arm to block the golf ball that slides down from the feeding tube above the rotating roller, which is convenient for subsequent positioning. When the pressure roller presses the golf ball, the rotating element starts, driving the ball blocking arm to rotate away from the golf ball, providing a working space for subsequent shell peeling.

[0020] Furthermore, the blanking assembly includes a support seat, a push rod, and a push head. The support seat is firmly connected to the frame, the push rod is firmly connected to the support seat, the push head is transmission-connected to the push rod, and the push rod moves in the direction toward the blanking hopper.

[0021] When the shell is peeled off, the downward pressing actuator drives the pressure roller to move upward and away from the golf ball. The support seat provides an installation basis for the blanking assembly. The push rod moves, pushing the top head to push the golf ball on the rotating roller into the blanking hopper to collect the peeled golf balls.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: using power components of the same structure, the equipment is standardized, modular, small in size, simple to operate, and has high automation efficiency; it is used for peeling the outer shells of double-layer balls, triple-layer balls, and multi-shell golf balls, with high compatibility and good versatility; the equipment investment cost is low, one person can operate multiple machines, and it is suitable for small or large-scale production, with significant economic benefits.

[0023] Through the air pump and the vent hole, negative pressure is formed at the circular groove, so that the center of the golf ball between the two positioning heads is elastically deformed and separated from the shell, making it easier to peel off;

[0024] Using the principle of electromagnetic induction, if the outer shell of a golf ball is completely peeled off, the diameter of the golf ball will become smaller because the outer shell has a certain thickness. Under the action of gravity, the pressure roller will move downward, thereby driving the moving rod to move downward. The spring will stretch, pushing the magnet to move downward along the moving cavity, passing through the coil, generating current. The control component detects the current and can determine that the outer shell of the golf ball has been completely peeled off. If it is not completely peeled off, the second cutter is controlled to work again to peel off the outer shell, thereby ensuring the quality of the peeled outer shell and not damaging the center of the ball.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the golf ball cover stripping equipment includes a frame 1, a feeding assembly 2, a positioning assembly 3, a blocking assembly 4, a cutter assembly 5, a control assembly 6, a pressing assembly 7, a blanking assembly 8 and a power assembly 9. The feeding assembly 2 is tightly connected to the frame 1, and the discharge port of the feeding assembly 2 faces the blocking assembly 4. The power assembly 9 is provided with four groups. The power assembly 9 is tightly connected to the frame 1. The positioning assembly 3 and the cutter assembly 5 are respectively connected to the power assembly 9 in transmission. The blocking assembly 4 is tightly connected to the positioning assembly 3. The control assembly 6 is electrically connected to the power assembly 9. The control assembly 6 is tightly connected to the frame 1. The pressing assembly 7 is tightly connected to the frame 1. The blanking assembly 8 is tightly connected to the frame 1. A blanking hopper 11 is provided on the frame 1, and the blanking assembly 8 faces the opening direction of the blanking hopper 11.

[0039] The frame 1 provides an installation base for each component. The feeding component 2 is used to send the golf balls to the processing position in sequence for shell peeling. The power component 9 provides power for the positioning component 3 and the cutter component 5. The material blocking component 4 is used to prevent the golf balls from deviating when being discharged from the feeding component 2. The control component 6 is used to control the action of the power component 9, and then control the action of the positioning component 3 and the cutter component 5. The positioning component 3 is used to position the golf balls at the processing position to prevent the position of the golf balls from deviating and affecting the processing quality. The clamping component 7 fixes the golf balls at the processing position and drives the golf balls to rotate. The cutter component 5 is pushed by the power component 9 to approach the rotating golf balls and peel off the shells. After the peeling is completed, the blanking component 8 works to push the golf balls into the blanking hopper 11 for collection.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly 2 includes a vibration plate 21 and a feeding pipe 22 . The vibration plate 21 is firmly connected to the frame 1 . The discharge port of the vibration plate 21 is connected to the feed port of the feeding pipe 22 . The discharge port of the feeding pipe 22 faces the material blocking assembly 4 .

[0041] The vibrating plate 21 works, and the golf balls placed in the vibrating plate 21 are transported to the feeding tube 22 in sequence through vibration. The feeding tube 22 is placed at an angle, and the golf balls will roll to the position of the blocking assembly 4 under the action of their own gravity. The blocking assembly 4 can prevent the golf balls from deviating.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the power assembly 9 includes a bracket 91 and a cylinder 92, the bracket 91 is fastened to the frame 1, the cylinder 92 is fastened to the bracket 91, the positioning assembly 3 includes a positioning head 31 and an air pump 32, the positioning head 31 is communicated with the air pump 32, the air pump 32 is fastened to the bracket 91, two positioning heads 31 are provided, the two positioning heads 31 are transmission-connected to the cylinder 92, and the two positioning heads 31 are arranged facing each other.

[0043] The power assembly 9 is fixed to the frame 1 through the bracket 91, providing an installation base for the cylinder 92. The positioning assembly 3 is used to position the golf ball that falls on the blocking assembly 4. The cylinder 92 pushes the two positioning heads 31 to move toward each other and positions the golf ball by clamping it. The operation of the air pump 32 can provide additional suction to the positioning head, thereby improving the positioning efficiency of the golf ball and preventing the golf ball from slipping.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, circular grooves 311 are provided on the two positioning heads 31 , and vent holes 3111 are provided on the circular grooves 311 . The vent holes 3111 are communicated with the air pump 32 .

[0045] When the air pump 32 works, negative pressure is formed on the circular groove 311 through the vent hole 3111. Because the inner liner of the golf ball is made of elastic material and the outer shell is made of hard material, when the two ends of the inner liner of the golf ball are subjected to suction, they will be stretched and separated from the outer shell, making it easier to peel off the outer shell and preventing incomplete peeling.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the cutter assembly 5 includes a first cutter 51 and a second cutter 52, which are respectively connected to the cylinder 92 in a transmission manner, and the first cutter 51 and the second cutter 52 are arranged opposite to each other. The first cutter 51 is provided with two blades, and the blade head of the second cutter 52 is arc-shaped. The spacing between the two blades of the first cutter 51 is the same as the blade head size of the second cutter 52.

[0047] The cutter assembly 5, driven by the cylinder 92, peels off the outer shell of the golf ball on the pressing assembly 7 in sections. The rotating roller 72 drives the golf ball to rotate. The first cutter 51, driven by the cylinder 92, moves toward the golf ball and sticks to the golf ball to peel off the outer shell on both sides of the golf ball. Then, the second cutter 52, driven by the cylinder 92, sticks to the golf ball and peels off the outer shell in the middle of the golf ball. By peeling in sections, the success rate of peeling off the outer shell is improved and the outer shell is prevented from sticking to the inner liner.

[0048] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the pressing assembly 7 includes a driving motor 71, a rotating roller 72, a pressing roller 73, a fixing frame 74, a pressing actuator 75, and an elastic element 76. The driving motor 71 is connected to the rotating roller 72 in a transmission manner. The rotating roller 72 and the pressing roller 73 are arranged opposite to each other. The pressing roller 73 is connected to the fixing frame 74 in a rotational manner. The pressing actuator 75 is connected to the elastic element 76 in a transmission manner. The elastic element 76 is connected to the fixing frame 74 in a fastened manner. The elastic element 76 is electrically connected to the control assembly 6. The elastic element 76 includes a housing 761, The spring 762, the moving rod 763, the magnet 764, and the shell 761 are transmission-connected with the downward-pressing actuator 75. A moving cavity 7611 is provided in the shell 761. The magnet 764 is slidingly connected with the moving cavity 7611. The spring 762 is firmly connected with the magnet 764. The moving rod 763 is firmly connected with the magnet 764. The end of the moving rod 763 away from the magnet 764 is firmly connected with the fixing frame 74. A coil 7612 is wound around the shell 761, and the coil 7612 is electrically connected with the control component 6.

[0049] When the golf ball falls into the retaining assembly 4, the driving motor 71 drives the rotating roller 72 to rotate, thereby driving the golf ball to rotate, pressing the actuator 75 to move, pushing the elastic element 76 to move downward, thereby driving the fixing frame 74 to move downward, and then pushing the pressing roller 73 to move downward, fixing the position of the golf ball on the rotating roller 72, so as to facilitate the cutter assembly 5 to peel off the shell, and the elastic element 76 is used to ensure the effect of shell peeling. When the pressing roller 73 is pressed downward, the moving rod 763 will move upward under the push of the pressing roller 73, thereby pushing the magnet 762 to move upward, and the spring 762 will be compressed. When the shell of the golf ball is peeled off, because the shell The golf ball has a certain thickness, so the diameter of the golf ball will become smaller, and the spring 762 will stretch, pushing the magnet 762 to move downward along the movable cavity 7611, and driving the pressure roller 73 to move downward through the movable rod 763 to prevent the golf ball from falling off due to insufficient pressing force. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the magnet 762 will pass through the coil 7612 when moving downward to generate current. The control component 6 detects the current and can determine that the outer shell of the golf ball has been completely peeled off. The longer the distance the magnet 762 moves downward, the greater the current. The cutting depth of the cutter component 5 can be automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the outer shell to meet the peeling of golf balls with outer shells of different thicknesses, and has high compatibility.

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the material blocking assembly 4 is located on a side close to the driving motor 71, and the material blocking assembly 4 includes a ball blocking arm 41, a rotating element 42 and a connecting piece 43. The ball blocking arm 41 is transmission-connected to the rotating element 42, the rotating element 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 43, the connecting piece 43 is fixedly connected to the bracket 91, and the ball blocking arm 41 is spoon-shaped and is located above the rotating roller 72.

[0051] The connecting piece 43 provides an installation base for the material blocking assembly 4. The material blocking assembly 4 uses the spoon-shaped ball blocking arm 41 to block the golf ball sliding down from the feeding tube 22 above the rotating roller 72 to facilitate subsequent positioning. When the pressure roller 73 presses the golf ball, the rotating element 42 starts, driving the ball blocking arm 41 to rotate and move away from the golf ball, providing a working space for subsequent shell peeling.

[0052] like Fig. 9 As shown, the blanking assembly 8 includes a support seat 81, a push rod 82, and a top head 83. The support seat 81 is fastened to the frame 1, the push rod 82 is fastened to the support seat 81, the top head 83 is transmission-connected to the push rod 82, and the push rod 82 moves toward the blanking hopper 11.

[0053] When the shell is peeled off, the downward pressing actuator 75 drives the pressure roller 73 to move upward and away from the golf ball. The support seat 81 provides an installation basis for the blanking assembly 8. The push rod 82 moves to push the head 83 to push the golf ball on the rotating roller 72 into the blanking hopper 11 to collect the peeled golf balls.

[0054] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the recycled old golf balls are put into the feeding assembly 2, and the vibrating plate 21 is started to send the golf balls to the shell removal station in sequence. In order to prevent inaccurate ball feeding, the blocking assembly 4 ensures the positioning accuracy, and the spoon-shaped ball blocking arm 41 can ensure the accuracy of blocking. Then the pressing assembly 7 works, and the golf balls are fixed on the station through the cooperation of the pressure roller 73 and the rotating roller 72 arranged opposite to each other. Then the driving motor 71 is started to drive the rotating roller 72 to rotate, thereby driving the golf balls to rotate. Then the cutting assembly 5 works, and first the first cutting knife 51 is moved to peel off the shells on both sides of the golf balls. Then the positioning assembly 3 works, and the positioning head 31 is close to the golf balls with the shells on both sides peeled off, and a negative pressure is formed at the circular groove 311 through the air pump 32 and the vent 3111, so that the inner The outer shell of the golf ball is elastically deformed by the force and separated from the outer shell for easy peeling. Then the second cutter 52 works to peel off the outer shell of the middle part of the golf ball, and the elastic element 76 is used to detect whether the outer shell is completely peeled off. By using the principle of electromagnetic induction, if the outer shell of the golf ball is completely peeled off, because the outer shell has a certain thickness, the diameter of the golf ball will become smaller, and the spring 762 will stretch to push the magnet 762 to move downward along the movable cavity 7611, and pass through the coil 7612 to generate current. The control component 6 detects the current and can determine that the outer shell of the golf ball has been completely peeled off. If it is not completely peeled off, the second cutter 52 works again to peel off the outer shell. After the peeling is completed, the cutter component 5, the clamping component 7 and the positioning component 3 move back to their original positions, and the blanking component 8 pushes the center of the ball into the blanking hopper to complete the peeling of the golf ball outer shell.
