[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a billiard ball locking device, including a locking ball device body 1, a controller 2 and a guiding mechanism 3. The controller 2 is fixedly installed at the left end of the locking ball device body 1. A guiding mechanism 3 is arranged above the locking ball device body 1. A connecting mechanism 4 is arranged outside the locking ball device body 1. A collecting mechanism 5 is arranged inside the locking ball device body 1. A driving mechanism 6 is arranged inside the locking ball device body 1;
[0026] The guiding mechanism 3 includes a fixed sleeve 301, a rigid conveying track 302, a guiding sleeve 303, a visible cover plate 304 and a guiding groove 305. Above the lock ball device body 1, there is a fixed sleeve 301. Rigid conveying tracks 302 are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the fixed sleeve 301. A guiding sleeve 303 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixed sleeve 301. A visible cover plate 304 is movably installed at the upper end of the lock ball device body 1. A guiding groove 305 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the visible cover plate 304. The guiding sleeve 303 corresponds to the guiding groove 305. When using the lock ball device body 1 in an unmanned self-service billiard hall, the staff connects the rigid conveying track 302 with the ball pocket of the billiard table to realize the assembly of the fixed sleeve 301. Then, the staff places the lock ball device body 1 under the billiard table and makes the guiding groove 305 above the lock ball device body 1 correspond to the guiding sleeve 303 below the fixed sleeve 301. During the process of playing billiards, the billiards falling into the ball pocket enter the inside of the rigid conveying track 302 under the action of gravity, then enter the inside of the fixed sleeve 301 through the rigid conveying track 302, fall into the guiding groove 305 through the guiding sleeve 303, and finally fall into the billiard collection rack 501 inside the lock ball device body 1. Since the billiard collection rack 501 limits the collected billiards, as the billiards keep falling, the billiards are neatly stacked inside the billiard collection rack 501, completing the ball collection and locking operation.
[0027] The connecting mechanism 4 includes a first connecting arm 401 and a second connecting arm 402. The outer end of the lock ball device body 1 is movably installed with the first connecting arm 401, and the rear end of the first connecting arm 401 is movably installed with the second connecting arm 402. The collecting mechanism 5 includes a billiard ball collecting rack 501 and a flank 502. The billiard ball collecting rack 501 is movably installed inside the lock ball device body 1, and the outer end of the billiard ball collecting rack 501 is fixedly installed with the flank 502. The driving mechanism 6 includes a mounting groove body 601 and a self-locking motor 602. The right end of the inner end of the lock ball device body 1 is fixedly provided with the mounting groove body 601, and the rear end of the inner end of the mounting groove body 601 is fixedly installed with the self-locking motor 602. The driving end of the front end of the self-locking motor 602 is fixedly installed with a transmission screw 603. The outer end of the transmission screw 603 is threadedly connected with a driving block 604. The left end of the driving block 604 is fixedly installed with a connecting block 605. The connecting block 605 is fixedly connected with the visual cover plate 304. The left and right ends of the inner end of the lock ball device body 1 are fixedly provided with sliding grooves 606. The sliding grooves 606 are located above the mounting groove body 601. The visual cover plate 304 is slidably connected with the sliding grooves 606. The staff uses fasteners to connect the second connecting arm 402 with the billiard table to fix the lock ball device body 1. After the consumer scans the code and pays, the controller 2 controls the self-locking motor 602 to work, driving the driving block 604 to move on the transmission screw 603. The driving block 604 drives the connecting block 605 to move, and the connecting block 605 drives the visual cover plate 304 to slide in the sliding grooves 606, so that the visual cover plate 304 moves backward to open the lock ball device body 1. The consumer can take out the billiard ball collecting rack 501, place the billiard balls on the billiard table, and then place the empty billiard ball rack inside the lock ball device body 1. The self-locking motor 602 works to drive the visual cover plate 304 to return to its position to protect the billiard ball collecting rack 501.
[0028] Working principle: When using the lock ball device body 1 in an unmanned self-service billiard hall, the staff connects the rigid conveying track 302 to the ball pocket of the billiard table to complete the assembly of the fixed sleeve 301. Then, the staff places the lock ball device body 1 under the billiard table, aligning the guiding groove 305 above the lock ball device body 1 with the guiding sleeve 303 below the fixed sleeve 301. The staff uses fasteners to connect the second connecting arm 402 to the billiard table to fix the lock ball device body 1. After the consumer scans the code and pays, the controller 2 controls the self-locking motor 602 to work, driving the driving block 604 to move on the transmission screw 603. The driving block 604 drives the connecting block 605 to move, and the connecting block 605 drives the visible cover plate 304 to slide in the sliding groove 606, causing the visible cover plate 304 to move backward to open the lock ball device body 1. The consumer can take out the billiard collection rack 501, place the billiards on the billiard table, and then put the empty billiard rack into the lock ball device body 1. The self-locking motor 602 works to drive the visible cover plate 304 to return to its position to protect the billiard collection rack 501. During the billiard game, the billiards that fall into the ball pocket enter the rigid conveying track 302 under the action of gravity, then enter the fixed sleeve 301 through the rigid conveying track 302, fall into the guiding groove 305 through the guiding sleeve 303, and finally fall into the billiard collection rack 501 inside the lock ball device body 1. Since the billiard collection rack 501 limits the collected billiards, as the billiards keep falling, the billiards are neatly stacked inside the billiard collection rack 501, completing the ball collection and locking operation.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention by those of ordinary skill in the art shall not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
