Detailed implementation manners

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-8, an embodiment provided by the present invention: a table hockey automatic conveying mechanism, which includes a table body 1 and a ball supply component 3 arranged on one side of the table body 1; a first conveying component 2 is arranged on one side of the table body 1, and a second conveying component 4 is arranged on the other side of the table body 1; the structures of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 4 are the same. The hockey balls on the table body 1 are guided into the ball supply component 3 through the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 4, and the ball supply component 3 is used to convey the hockey balls onto the table body 1; the first conveying component 2 includes a fixing part 23, and the fixing part 23 is connected to a ball guiding member 21 provided. The ball guiding member 21 includes a first side plate 28 and a first cover plate 25. The first cover plate 25 covers the first side plate 28 to guide the hockey balls into the ball supply component 3.

[0027] In summary, since the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 4 are arranged on one side of the table body 1, the hockey balls can be guided into the ball supply component 3 through the two conveying components, and then the collected hockey balls are moved onto the table body 1 again through the ball supply component 3 to achieve the automatic supply of hockey balls; in particular, since the fixing part 23 is used to connect with the table body 1 to realize the connection between the two conveying components and the table body 1, and the ball guiding member 21 is composed of the first side plate 28 and the first cover plate 25, on the one hand, it is convenient for the production and assembly of the ball guiding member 21; on the other hand, it is convenient for the maintenance and repair of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 4 when they are damaged.

[0028] Specifically, the ball supply component 3 includes a base 30. A receiving port 33 for receiving hockey balls is arranged on the base 30, and a dial 34 is also arranged in the receiving port 33. The hockey balls are conveyed to the position of the discharge pipe 32 arranged at the upper end of the conveying pipe 31 through the discharge pipe 32 by the dial 34, and the hockey balls are drained onto the table body 1 through the discharge pipe 32. Therefore, the hockey balls can smoothly and continuously enter the table body 1, improving the user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, since strip-shaped grooves 27 are arranged on both the first side plate 28 and the first cover plate 25, the weight of the entire conveying component can be reduced, and at the same time, the hockey balls stuck in the ball guiding member 21 can be toggled through the strip-shaped grooves 27, thus ensuring the smooth rolling of the hockey balls; in addition, since the ball guiding member 21 is connected to the table body 1 through a connecting plate 24 provided, when the fixing part 23 is fixed on one side of the table body 1, the ball guiding member 21 is installed under the table body 1 by using the connecting plate 24, so that there is no vibration at the ball outlet of the ball guiding member 21, and thus the hockey balls can smoothly fall into the ball supply component 3.

[0030] To ensure the smooth flow of the hockey ball to the ball supply assembly 3, an annular portion 26 is provided at one end of the first side plate 28, and an annular cover plate 22 is attached to the inner wall surface of the annular portion 26 through the annular cover plate 22 provided, so as to facilitate guiding the hockey ball into the ball supply assembly 3. Therefore, the annular portion 26 is used to achieve a smooth transition between the ball guide member 21 and the fixing portion 23, thereby ensuring that the hockey ball smoothly enters the ball guide member 21 from the fixing portion 23.

[0031] Among them, the annular cover plate 22 includes an annular piece 216, and transverse plates 218 are provided on both sides of the annular piece 216, and the transverse plates 218 are attached to the annular portion 26 through the patches 219 provided. Therefore, the production and processing of the annular cover plate 22 are simple and convenient. In particular, the annular cover plate 22 with a split structure enables each component to be processed by sheet metal technology to reduce its production difficulty and processing cost.

[0032] In addition, since a slot hole 217 is provided on the annular piece 216, and the slot hole 217 is arranged along the length direction of the annular piece 216, the self-weight of the annular piece 216 can be reduced; in particular, it is convenient for the annular piece 216 to be smoothly attached to the annular portion 26.

[0033] On the basis of the above solution, the fixing portion 23 includes a second side plate 212 and a second cover plate 221. After the second side plate 212 and the second cover plate 221 are covered, a goal opening 211 is formed, and a detection assembly 210 is provided at the connection between the second side plate 212 and the ball guide member 21, and information about the hockey ball passing through is obtained through the detection assembly 210. Therefore, the production and processing of the fixing portion 23 are convenient. In addition, the detection assembly 210 can be used to detect the passing hockey ball, such as obtaining the color information of the hockey ball. Specifically, a second bracket 215 for installing a photoelectric sensor is further provided below the first bracket 214, and the second bracket 215 is U-shaped. Therefore, photoelectric sensors can be symmetrically installed on one side of the second bracket 215 to improve the accuracy of obtaining hockey ball information, and a counting sensor can also be installed on the other side of the second bracket 215 to obtain the passing number of hockey balls through the counting sensor.

[0034] To reduce the self-weight of the second side plate 212, a waist-shaped groove 220 is further provided on the second side plate 212, and at the same time, tools can also enter the interior of the fixing portion 23 through the waist-shaped groove 220 to toggle the hockey ball stuck in the fixing portion 23; further, a baffle 29 is provided on the upper end surface of the second side plate 212, and the baffle 29 is bent above the second side plate 212 through sheet metal technology. Therefore, it is convenient for the baffle 29 to be formed and reduces the weight of the second side plate 212. In particular, the baffle 29 can also be used to block the hockey ball so as to facilitate the hockey ball to smoothly fall into the fixing portion 23.

[0035] Furthermore, since the detection component 210 includes a first bracket 214; wherein, an installation groove 213 is provided on the first bracket 214, and a vibrator 222 is further provided in the installation groove 213; therefore, the vibration generated by the vibrator 222 can be utilized to promote the smooth flow of the hockey ball into the ball supply component 3.

[0036] The above has described in detail the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to these embodiments still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
