[0002] Tennis is a hollow rubber ball, the outside of which needs to be uniformly wrapped by textile materials. The pressurized ball in tennis has a gas filled inside, so that the internal air pressure of the tennis ball is greater than the atmospheric pressure. The pressurized ball in tennis needs to be stored in an air pressure environment similar to the internal air pressure to prevent the tennis ball from leaking. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the tennis storage tank with gas to ensure that the internal and external air pressures of the tennis storage environment are consistent. The internal air pressure of the existing tennis storage tank is single or inconvenient to adjust.
[0003] A Chinese patent document CN101342971A discloses a tennis ball pressure storage tank, wherein at least one sealing groove containing a sealing ring is provided on the outer wall of the tank body along the mouth end, and a serrated positioning clamping tooth is provided on the outer wall section of the other end; the front end of the tank cover is provided with uniformly distributed positioning hooks; an exhaust hole is provided on the wall of the tank cover, and the tank body and the tank cover are locked by the positioning hooks and the positioning clamping teeth after being buckled together, and a sealing belt is formed by all the sealing grooves containing sealing rings, and the sealing belt is located between the exhaust hole of the tank cover and the circular cup bottom of the tank cover. The internal air pressure setting of the tennis ball pressure storage tank is single and cannot be adjusted, and the user cannot understand the internal air pressure changes during storage. Therefore, we provide a tennis ball storage tank with adjustable internal air pressure, which can be set according to the set air pressure when in use, and the air pressure sensor monitors the air pressure in the tennis ball storage tank in real time, replenishes the internal air pressure when the internal air pressure is insufficient, and can also easily check the internal air pressure value during daily storage.
