Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball storage, in particular to a ball storage device. Background Art

[0002] Large balls such as basketballs are difficult to store, especially in places such as schools and stadiums, which need to always have a large number of such large balls. Currently, places such as schools and stadiums store such large balls by either placing them on shelves, in boxes, or directly on the ground without net bags.

[0003] In the process of realizing the utility model, the inventors found that the following problems existed in the prior art and have not been solved: the existing ball storage device carts mostly use a fence mechanism to shield the basketball and temporarily store it. However, during class, there are students who need to take the basketball, but the height of the fence is too high, so the students need to lie on the fence and reach out to take the basketball at the bottom, which makes it inconvenient to take the basketball at the bottom. Improvement is urgently needed. Therefore, we propose a ball storage device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a ball storage device to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] There are four groups of enclosures, and limit holes are provided at the four corners of the enclosures. The middle part of the lower surface of the front wall of the enclosure is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft of the push rod motor, and the bottom plate and the top of the enclosure are fixedly connected to the push rod motor on the same side;

[0007] The inner rod movably passes through the middle of the limiting hole, and a stopper is fixedly installed on the top of the inner rod;

[0008] The four corners of the bottom surface of the bottom plate are fixedly installed with support rods, and the bottom ends of the support rods are rotatably connected to universal wheels through wheel frames;

[0009] A box body is fixedly installed in the upper surface of a group of enclosures, and a distance measuring sensor and a processor are fixedly installed in the box body;

[0010] An alarm is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the handle, and can be used in conjunction with components such as an enclosure, a push rod motor and an inner rod. During the use of the ball storage device, if a basketball needs to be released for students to use, the transmission shafts of the multiple push rod motors can be retracted to move the enclosure down along the inner rod. The downward movement of the multiple enclosures can make the basketball roll out through the top. Compared with students bending over and reaching out to take the basketball at the bottom, this structure facilitates the taking of the basketball at the bottom.

[0011] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application, the data output end of the ranging sensor is connected to the data input end of the processor, and the signal output end of the processor is connected to the signal input end of the alarm. It can be used in conjunction with components such as the ranging sensor and the alarm. During the downward movement of the fence, the distance monitored by the ranging sensor is less than the set threshold, the processor issues an instruction, and the alarm sounds: "Pay attention to the downward movement of the fence", which can avoid the fence from moving downward and pinching foreign objects or classmates, thereby improving the safety factor of the device and achieving a more ideal use effect.

[0012] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application, a protective net is fixedly installed at the top opening of the box body near the outside of the probe of the ranging sensor, and a wire hole is opened on the top of the side wall of the box body. The protective net can provide anti-clutter function and anti-impact protection. At the same time, the wire hole can pass through the wire for connecting internal and external components.

[0013] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application, an indicator sign is fixedly installed on the outside of the handle, and guiding texts are printed on the indicator sign. The user can be informed of the corresponding adjustment process through the indicator sign and the guiding text, which is convenient for different personnel to operate and use.

[0014] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application, a battery is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower surface of the base plate, and the battery is electrically connected to the alarm and the push rod motor through wires. The battery can provide electrical energy to avoid pulling excessively long wires and reduce the cost of power supply.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The utility model provides a ball storage device, which is provided with an enclosure, a push rod motor and an inner rod. During the use of the ball storage device, if a basketball needs to be released for students to use, the transmission shafts of multiple groups of push rod motors can be retracted to move the enclosure downward along the inner rod. The downward movement of the multiple groups of enclosures can make the basketball roll out through the top. Compared with the student bending over and reaching out to take the basketball at the bottom, this structure is convenient for taking the basketball at the bottom.

[0017] 2. The utility model provides a ball storage device, which is provided with a distance sensor and an alarm. When the distance monitored by the distance sensor is less than a set threshold value during the downward movement of the enclosure, the processor issues a command and the alarm sounds: "Pay attention to the downward movement of the enclosure", which can prevent the enclosure from moving downward and injuring foreign objects or classmates, thereby improving the safety factor of the device and achieving ideal use effect.

A protective net is fixedly installed on the outside of the probe of the distance sensor 51 near the top opening of the box body 5, and a wire hole is opened on the top of the side wall of the box body 5, which can provide anti-clutter function and anti-collision protection through the protective net, and at the same time, the wire hole can pass through the wire for connecting internal and external components; an alarm 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner side of the handle 2, and a battery 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower surface of the base plate 1, and the battery 11 is electrically connected to the alarm 22 and the push rod motor 41 through wires, respectively, and can provide power through the battery 11 to avoid pulling too long wires and reduce the cost of power supply.

[0025] In this technical solution, components such as the enclosure 4, the push rod motor 41 and the inner rod 3 can be used together. During the use of the ball storage device, if a basketball needs to be released for students to use, the transmission shafts of the multiple groups of push rod motors 41 can be retracted to move the enclosure 4 down along the inner rod 3. The downward movement of the multiple groups of enclosures 4 can make the basketball roll out from the top.

[0029] When a ball storage device is used, the storage device is pushed to the ball storage area, and then the balls can be stored in the storage frame formed by the enclosure 4 and the inner rod 3 for temporary storage of the balls;

[0030] By providing the enclosure 4, the push rod motor 41 and the inner rod 3, during the use of the ball storage device, if a basketball needs to be released for students to use, the transmission shafts of the multiple push rod motors 41 can be retracted to make the enclosure 4 move down along the inner rod 3. The downward movement of the multiple enclosures 4 can make the basketball roll out from the top. Compared with the students bending over and reaching out to take the basketball at the bottom, this structure facilitates the taking of the basketball at the bottom. By providing the distance sensor 51 and the alarm 22, during the downward movement of the enclosure 4, if the distance monitored by the distance sensor 51 is less than the set threshold, the processor 52 issues an instruction, and the alarm 22 emits: "Pay attention to the downward movement of the enclosure 4", which can avoid the enclosure 4 from moving down and pinching foreign objects or classmates, thereby improving the safety factor of the device and achieving ideal use effect.
