Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an indoor golf simulator, including a simulation room 1, a simulation system 2 is arranged in the simulation room 1, the simulation system 2 includes a curtain wall 21 and a shielding cover 22 located outside the curtain wall 21, a plurality of simulation systems 2 are corresponding in one simulation room 1, and one simulation system 2 can supply multiple people for simulation experience. The cross-section of the shielding cover 22 is U-shaped, the space inside the shielding cover 22 is the space for golf ball projection, the golf ball will fall to the bottom inside the shielding cover 22 after being projected, the curtain wall 21 serves as a projection screen, and the projection direction of the golf ball is towards the projection screen.

[0026] In this technical solution, the simulation system 2 includes a slope 23 at the inner bottom of the shielding cover 22. Both ends of the slope 23 extend to the opposite sides inside the shielding cover 22. The slope 23 can be made by laying plates, and the slope angle of the slope 23 is within the range of 5-10 degrees. Thus, the golf balls on the slope 23 will roll downward along the slope and then gather at the bottom of the upper end surface of the slope 23.

[0027] At the bottom of the slope 23, there are a front-back distributed transmission groove 231 and a receiving groove 232 at the front end of the transmission groove 231. The transmission groove 231 is a U-shaped groove, which can be made by bending a steel plate into a U-shaped groove. The receiving groove 232 can be a cylindrical structure. Specifically, when implementing, a U-shaped sunk groove and a circular sunk groove adapted to the transmission groove 231 and the receiving groove 232 can be opened on the ground. A gate plate 233 is arranged between the receiving groove 232 and the transmission groove 231. The gate plate 233 functions to open and close the channel between the transmission groove 231 and the receiving groove 232. A transmission screw 2311 is rotatably connected in the transmission groove 231. The above-mentioned golf balls gathered at the bottom of the slope 23 will accumulate on the transmission screw 2311. When controlling the rotation of the transmission screw 2311, the golf balls on it will move towards the receiving groove 232. When the gate plate 233 is opened, the golf balls close to the receiving groove 232 and accumulated will enter the receiving groove 232. A control motor for controlling the rotation of the transmission screw 2311 can be installed at the rear end of the transmission groove 231.

[0028] It should be noted that the function of the receiving groove 232 is to place the turnover box. That is to say, the turnover box is first placed in the receiving groove 232. When the turnover box is full, the gate plate 233 is closed and the turnover box is replaced, so as to avoid the golf balls falling into the receiving groove 232 and being difficult to take.

[0029] Furthermore, the gate plate 233 and the bottom of the receiving groove 232 are elastically slidably matched up and down. A support plate 2331 close to the bottom is welded on one side of the gate plate 233. The support plate 2331 is a component for placing the turnover box. Specifically, when implementing, the support plate 2331 and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving groove 232 are slidably matched up and down, and then support springs are arranged at the bottom inside the support plate 2331 and the receiving groove 232.

[0030] In this embodiment, drainage partition plates 234 arranged evenly in the front-back direction are fixedly connected to the upper slope surface of the slope 23. One end of the drainage partition plate 234 extends to the mouth of the transmission groove 231. The function of the drainage partition plate 234 is to drain the golf balls towards the transmission groove 231, and at the same time, it can also increase the standing stability of the service personnel, that is, increase the standing resistance, which is convenient for the service personnel to clean the slope 23.

[0031] Further, a layer of shock-absorbing rubber pads is adhered to the upper surface of the slope 23 for the purpose of anti-slip. When the service staff cleans the slope 23, the shock-absorbing rubber pads can prevent the problem of slipperiness caused by the wetness of the slope 23.

[0032] In this embodiment, the number of the transmission screws 2311 is two and they are parallelly distributed. The two transmission screws 2311 are on the same horizontal plane. The combined transmission of the two transmission screws 2311 can improve the efficiency of transporting a large number of golf balls and reduce the degree of slipping.

[0033] Further, the transmission screw 2311 includes a transmission shaft 23111 and a screw rod 23112 fixedly wound around the outside of the transmission shaft 23111. The cross-section of the screw rod 23112 is circular. The screw rods 23112 on the two transmission screws 2311 are in different helix directions, and the rotation directions of the two transmission screws 2311 are also different. During specific implementation, meshing gears can be installed at one end of the two transmission shafts 23111, and then one end of the control motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the transmission shafts 23111.

[0034] In this embodiment, the simulation system 2 includes a host 24, a camera 25, a projector 26 and an automatic ball feeder 27. A touch screen is provided on the host 24, and the touch screen serves as an interface for interaction between the customer and the host 24. A push rod control box 271 and a sensor 272 are provided on the automatic ball feeder 27. The function of the push rod control box 271 is to control the ball output of the automatic ball feeder 27. The sensor 272 can be a gravity sensor, and its function is to sense the state of the golf ball placed on the placement seat by gravity induction. When the golf ball on the placement seat is hit and flown away, the load of the sensor 272 at the top of the placement seat changes, and then a signal is sent to the host 24. The host 24 controls the automatic ball feeder 27 to act, and then discharges golf balls to the placement seat through the push rod control box 271. The automatic ball feeder 27 and the placement seat of this application both adopt the structures in the patent documents mentioned in the background technology, so they will not be described in detail here. The projector 26 is arranged on the front side of the curtain wall 21. The projector 26 can be installed on the ceiling of the room. The camera 25 is installed at a position where it can effectively capture the trajectory of the golf ball as needed. The camera 25 is used to capture the trajectory of the golf ball and then transmit the image to the host 24. After the host 24 simulates the trajectory, it projects it onto the curtain wall 21 through the projector 26.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, when a golf ball appears on the slope 23 at the lower part inside the shielding cover 22, the golf ball rolls down under its own weight to above the transmission screw 2311 in the transmission groove 231. Then, start the transmission shaft 23111, and the screw rod 23112 rotates to transmit the golf ball on it towards the gate plate 233. The service staff can place the turnover box on the pallet 2331. Under the action of gravity, the gate plate 233 descends, and the golf ball above the transmission groove 231 will directly fall into the turnover box. When the turnover box is full, lift the turnover box upwards. At this time, the gate plate 233 will reset to block the transmission of the golf ball in the transmission groove 231 to the receiving groove 232.

[0036] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
