Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball-stacking machine technology, specifically a fully automatic intelligent billiards ball-stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Billiards skills require long-term practice and instructional support to improve individual skills. However, in a billiards hall, after each game, you need to bend over, align, and place all 15 balls one by one. The process is tedious and time-consuming. The position of the balls is unstable, which makes the training results unrepeatable. When practicing alone, you have to squat down and manually place the balls after each shot, which frequently interrupts the training rhythm and affects the continuity of the shot and the formation of muscle memory. There is no fully automatic billiards intelligent ball placement structure to reduce repeated manual ball placement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic intelligent billiards ball training and placement machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A fully automatic intelligent billiards training ball-swinging machine includes a ball-swinging assembly, which is used to collect billiard balls and centrally transport them to corresponding positions. The ball-swinging assembly includes a movable seat and a support column provided on the movable seat, and a guide plate is provided on the top of the support column. The tabletop component is used for placing and practicing billiard balls. It is placed on one side of the ball-setting component and includes the billiard table.

[0005] Furthermore, the table has six holes near the edge on its upper surface, and a guide rail is provided below the table at each hole. The guide rail is fixed to the table with bolts, and a through groove is provided in the middle of one side of the guide rail.

[0006] In this invention, each guide rail is equipped with a corresponding slide near the entrance of the hole, and the billiard balls are collected and stored along the guide rail.

[0007] Specifically, the bottom of the support column is fixed to the movable seat by bolts, the inside of the support column is hollow, and a side cover is provided on the front side of the support column.

[0008] In this invention, the side cover and the support column are fixed together to shield and protect the inside of the support column. The bolts can be removed to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the inside of the side cover.

[0009] It should be noted that the support column is symmetrically equipped with gears inside, and a chain is provided between two gears. Several fixing plates are provided on the outer side of the chain, and guide rods are symmetrically provided on the fixing plates. A motor is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the support column, and the motor is engaged with the gear end plate on the bottom gear through a toothed belt.

[0010] In this invention, the gear is rotatably connected to the support column via a rotating shaft, the chain meshes with the corresponding gear, the motor is fixed to the support column by bolts, another gear disc is sleeved on the output shaft end of the motor, and the toothed belt is engaged with the two corresponding gear discs respectively, so that the output shaft of the motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby realizing the continuous rotation of the chain. With the cooperation of multiple fixed plates with guide rods, it helps to transport the ball from the bottom to the top position.

[0011] It should be noted that a receiving box is provided at the middle of the side arm of the support column, corresponding to the guide slide rail. A notch is provided at the bottom of the receiving box, corresponding to the through groove. A rotating ball lifting plate is provided in the notch. A motor is also provided on one side of the receiving box. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the ball lifting plate through a coupling.

[0012] In this invention, the notch is inserted into the guide rail, and the ball-lifting plate rotates in the through groove. The motor is fixed to the receiving box by bolts, and the motor is electrically connected to the control switch on the outer wall of the receiving box by wires. The control switch connects to the external power supply and controls the motor to start, so that the ball-lifting plate can rotate back and forth in the through groove. The ball-lifting plate guides the billiard balls in the guide rail to enter the support column from the receiving box in sequence.

[0013] Furthermore, the connection between the receiving box and the support column is provided with a ball-hole that communicates with the interior of the support column, and a support rod is provided in the ball-hole.

[0014] In this invention, with the help of the ball inlet, the billiard balls received in the receiving box enter the support rod in sequence. With the help of the chain rotation, the billiard balls are lifted from the receiving box to the top of the support column by the corresponding guide rod. The width of the inner wall of the support column is greater than the diameter of the billiard ball, so the billiard ball will not fall off the side of the guide rod and affect the operation.

[0015] It is worth adding that the front end of the guide plate is internally connected to the top end of the support column, the guide plate is fixed to the support column by bolts, the end of the guide plate is provided with a rotating ball feeding plate, the ball feeding plate is provided with an arc plate near the end of the guide plate, and the ball feeding plate is rotatably connected to the guide plate by an electric push rod.

[0016] In this invention, a guide plate receives billiard balls raised inside a support column. The bottom of an electric push rod is rotatably connected to the guide plate, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the ball delivery plate. When it is necessary to place the balls, the electric push rod is activated by a control switch, the piston rod extends, the ball delivery plate rotates, and with the cooperation of the arc plate, the billiard balls in the guide plate are lifted up and placed one by one.

[0017] The guide plate is equipped with a visual recognition camera on its lower surface. When the corresponding billiard ball under the guide plate is hit and moved, the electric drive is activated to place the corresponding billiard ball and lift it into the receiving box. The ball delivery plate then tilts and places the ball in the designated position. From hitting the ball into the pocket to placing the ball on the table, the whole process is fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual collection of billiard balls and enabling efficient practice.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention sets up a movable seat and a support column, with a motor and chain in the support column. Under the meshing of two gears, a fixed plate with a guide rod rotates continuously on the chain, lifting and conveying the billiard balls in the guide box. The motor controls the reciprocating rotation of the ball-lifting plate to intercept and acquire the billiard balls guided in the guide rail. The ball-feeding plate works in conjunction with the guide plate to continuously guide and place the billiard balls one by one.

[0019] 2. This invention combines a side cover with a support column, and the bolts can be easily removed to inspect and replace the chain and motor inside the support column. The support rod passes between the two guide rods, so it does not affect the coordination of intercepting and lifting the billiard ball. A visual recognition camera is installed at the bottom of the guide plate. After the billiard ball is hit, the corresponding electric push rod is activated to achieve continuous automatic ball release, avoiding the time spent on manual collection of billiard balls and improving practice efficiency.

A motor 202 is also provided on one side of the receiving box 20. The output shaft of the motor 202 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the ball lifting plate 201 through a coupling.

[0028] In this invention, the notch 200 is inserted into the guide rail 40, and the ball lifting plate 201 rotates in the through groove 400. The motor 202 is fixed to the receiving box 20 by bolts. The motor 202 is electrically connected to the control switch on the outer wall of the receiving box 20 by wires. The control switch connects to the external power supply and controls the motor 202 to start, so that the ball lifting plate 201 reciprocates in the through groove 400. The ball lifting plate 201 guides the billiard balls in the guide rail 40 to enter the support column 2 from the receiving box 20 in sequence.

[0029] Furthermore, a ball port 203 communicating with the inside of the support column 2 is provided at the connection between the receiving box 20 and the support column 2, and a support rod 204 is provided in the ball port 203.

[0030] In this invention, with the cooperation of the ball inlet 203, the billiard balls received in the receiving box 20 sequentially enter the support rod 204, and with the rotation of the chain 24, the billiard balls are lifted from the receiving box 20 to the top of the support column 2 by the corresponding guide rod 241. The width of the inner wall of the support column 2 is greater than the diameter of the billiard ball, so the billiard ball will not fall off the side of the guide rod 241 and affect the billiard ball.

[0031] It is worth adding that the front end of the guide plate 3 is internally connected to the top end of the support column 2. The guide plate 3 is fixed to the support column 2 by bolts. The end of the guide plate 3 is provided with a rotating ball feeding plate 30. The ball feeding plate 30 is provided with an arc plate 300 near the end of the guide plate 3. The ball feeding plate 30 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 3 by an electric push rod.
