In order to meet the needs of golf enthusiasts of different levels, from putting practice in small venues to training using batting cages, to formal golf courses and competitions, the training methods and scenes of golf are becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] Before entering the golf course, it is crucial to conduct adequate warm-up and skill training. As the basic training methods of golf, putting practice and hitting cage training can help enthusiasts become familiar with the rules of golf, improve sports technical skills, and lay a solid foundation for formal competitions. However, traditional training methods often require manual ball picking and delivery, which is not only inefficient, but also increases the physical exertion of the trainees, affecting the training effect.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, there is an urgent need in the market for a purely mechanical golf ball loading machine that can automatically, efficiently and stably deliver golf balls. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a golf ball loading machine. Through the optimization and innovation of the structural design, the ball storage capacity is increased, the conveying mechanism is stable, and the operation convenience is enhanced. At the same time, the present invention also provides personalized options for optional configuration to meet the diversified needs of different users. This design not only improves the overall performance of the golf ball loading machine, but also injects new vitality into the development of golf.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: 1. A golf ball loading machine, comprising:

[0007] A hemispherical ball storage container is located on the top of the ball loading machine and is used to collect and store golf balls;

[0008] The ball delivery tube is located at the bottom of the hemispherical ball storage container and is connected to the output port at the bottom of the hemispherical ball storage container for delivering golf balls. An upper limit chute is provided on the upper side of the ball delivery tube, and a lower limit chute is provided on the bottom side of the ball delivery tube.

[0009] The frame is fixed on one side of the ball loading machine and is used to install a ball-discharging rod. The ball-discharging rod is rotatably connected to the frame and is used for the ball-discharging rod to perform a ball-discharging action. One end of the ball-discharging rod is respectively fixedly connected with a lower limit rod for a spare ball and a synchronous rod for releasing a ball. The lower limit rod for a spare ball and the synchronous rod for releasing a ball are respectively limited and moved on the inner wall of the upper limit chute and the lower limit chute.

[0010] The fixed rod is located on one side of the frame, and a telescopic spring is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed rod. One end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the ball release synchronization rod, which is used to pull the ball release synchronization rod to the bottom of the inner wall of the upper limit slide groove to block the golf ball on the inner wall of the ball delivery tube.

[0011] In this embodiment, in the initial state:

[0012] A certain number of golf balls are stored in the hemispherical ball storage container.

[0013] The ball delivery tube is connected with the bottom of the hemispherical ball storage container. The golf ball naturally falls into the ball delivery tube under the action of gravity, but is restricted by the upper limit chute and the lower limit chute and will not fall at will.

[0014] The ball-discharging pull rod is rotatably connected with the frame, and the reserve ball lower limiting rod and the ball-discharging release synchronous rod are limitedly moved in the upper limit sliding groove and the lower limit sliding groove respectively.

[0015] The telescopic spring is in a stretched state, one end of which is connected to the fixed rod, and the other end of which is connected to the ball-release synchronous rod, so as to keep the ball-release synchronous rod at a certain position.

[0016] Ball action:

[0017] The operator uses the golf club head or other tools to pull the ball release rod.

[0018] The ball-discharging pull rod drives the reserve ball lower limiting rod and the ball-discharging release synchronous rod to move synchronously.

[0019] The lower limiting rod of the reserve ball moves in the upper limit chute to prevent the next golf ball from falling into the lower end of the ball delivery tube from the hemispherical ball storage container.

[0020] The ball-release synchronization rod moves in the lower limit slide groove, compresses the telescopic spring at the same time, and releases the blockage of the current golf ball in the ball delivery tube.

[0021] At present, the golf ball slides out from the bottom of the ball delivery tube under the action of gravity, completing the ball-out action.

[0022] Reset state:

[0023] Release the ball-out pull rod, and the telescopic spring returns to its original state under the action of elastic force, pulling the ball-out release synchronization rod back to its initial position.

[0024] The ball-release synchronization rod returns to the lower part of the inner wall of the upper limit chute to block the golf ball on the inner wall of the ball delivery tube again.

[0025] The reserve ball lower limiting rod also returns to the initial position, allowing the next golf ball to fall into the ball delivery tube from the hemispherical ball storage container.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, a ball outlet is provided at one end of the ball delivery tube, a net bag fixing throat clamp is fixed on the outside of one end of the ball delivery tube, and the ball delivery tube is fixedly connected to a ball deceleration net bag through the ball outlet, which is used to slow down the speed of the ball falling to the ground and facilitate positioning and hitting the ball. It is an optional configuration.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the material of the hemispherical ball storage container can be selected from porcelain, metal, injection molding or PVC materials, and the hemispherical ball storage container is equipped with a removable cover during final production.

[0028] In a specific implementation, the ball delivery tube can be made of a transparent hard material or a metal material, and the ball delivery tube is provided with an observation hole for observing the position of the golf ball.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, the overall structure of the ball loading machine is a metal structure, which is fixed by welding and screws to achieve structural strength and facilitate maintenance and disassembly.

[0030] In a specific implementation, the inner wall diameter of the ball delivery tube matches the golf ball, the inner wall is smooth and has no resistance, and the state of the golf ball in the tube can be observed from the outside.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, it further includes a bracket for installing and supporting the hemispherical ball storage container, the ball delivery tube and the frame.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0033] 1. The present invention adopts a combined design of a hemispherical ball storage container and a transparent ball delivery tube, which not only improves the storage capacity and delivery efficiency of golf balls, but also makes the entire device more beautiful and practical. The hemispherical ball storage container can make full use of space and increase the storage capacity of balls, while the transparent ball delivery tube makes it easy to observe the position and state of the balls, providing great convenience for users;

[0034] 2. The ingenious design of the ball release lever, the lower limit lever for the ball preparation and the synchronous lever for ball release makes the ball release process simple and quick. The user only needs to pull it lightly to realize the automatic delivery of the golf ball, without complicated operation steps, which greatly improves the efficiency of use. At the same time, this design also reduces the difficulty of operation, making it easy for users of different ages and skill levels to get started;

[0035] 3. The entire ball loading machine adopts a metal structure, which is assembled by welding and screwing, making the entire device more durable. This design not only improves the stability of the equipment, but also reduces the failure rate in long-term use. At the same time, the easy disassembly of the metal structure also makes the maintenance of the equipment simpler and more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] The working principle of this golf ball loading machine is mainly based on mechanical transmission and gravity. By pulling the ball release rod, the lower limit rod of the preparation ball and the ball release synchronization rod can be moved synchronously, thereby controlling the entry and exit of the golf ball. The introduction of the telescopic spring not only provides the reset power for the ball release synchronization rod, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the ball release action. The entire workflow is simple and clear, and the operation is convenient. It is suitable for a variety of scenarios such as golf clubs and home practice.

[0047] A ball outlet 10 is provided at one end of the transparent ball delivery tube 2, and a net bag fixing throat clamp 12 is fixed to the outside of one end of the transparent ball delivery tube 2. The transparent ball delivery tube 2 is fixedly connected to a ball deceleration net pocket 11 through the ball outlet 10, which is used to slow down the speed at which the ball falls to the ground and facilitates positioning and hitting the ball. It is an optional configuration.

[0048] The material of the hemispherical ball storage container 1 can be selected from porcelain, metal, injection molding or PVC materials, and the hemispherical ball storage container 1 is equipped with a removable cover during finalized production.

[0049] The transparent ball delivery tube 2 can be made of a transparent hard material or a metal material. The transparent ball delivery tube 2 is provided with an observation hole for observing the position of the golf ball 9 .

[0050] Furthermore, the overall structure of the ball loading machine is a metal structure, which is fixed by welding and screws to achieve structural firmness and facilitate maintenance and disassembly.

[0051] The inner wall diameter of the transparent ball delivery tube 2 matches the golf ball, and the inner wall is smooth and has no resistance, so the state of the golf ball in the tube can be observed from the outside.

[0052] It further includes a bracket for installing and supporting the hemispherical ball storage container 1, the transparent ball delivery tube 2 and the frame 4.

[0053] When the ball needs to be delivered, the ball delivery rod 3 is pulled to move the lower reserve ball limiting rod 7 and the ball delivery release synchronization rod 8 in the upper limit chute 21 and the lower limit chute 22 respectively. The movement of the lower reserve ball limiting rod 7 releases the golf ball 9 stored at the top of the transparent ball delivery tube 2, and the movement of the ball delivery release synchronization rod 8 removes the obstruction of the golf ball on the inner wall of the transparent ball delivery tube 2.

[0054] The golf ball 9 slides down the transparent ball delivery tube 2 under the action of gravity and is delivered through the ball outlet 10. If a ball deceleration net pocket 11 is provided, the golf ball 9 will first fall into the net pocket, slow down the landing speed and then pop out, which is convenient for the player to position the ball.

[0055] After the ball-discharging rod 3 is released, the telescopic spring 6 will pull the ball-discharging release synchronous rod 8 to reset, and the golf ball on the inner wall of the transparent ball-delivering tube 2 will be blocked again, waiting for the next ball-discharging action.

[0056] In summary, the golf ball loading machine of the present invention has a solid structure, is easy to operate and has complete functions, and can meet the golf ball delivery needs in different occasions. Through optimized design and reasonable configuration, the stability and durability of the equipment are improved, providing a more convenient and efficient practice experience for golf practitioners and enthusiasts.
