Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of golf equipment, in particular to a double-layer ball fully automatic ball distributor. Background Art

[0002] Traditional golf ball distributors are usually manual or semi-automated devices that require a lot of human intervention and are inefficient. In addition, manual ball distribution may lead to counting errors, especially during high-intensity training or competitions.

[0003] Shortcomings of existing technology

[0004] 1. Low degree of automation: Existing ball distributors may not have fully automatic functions and require operators to perform manual operations frequently, which not only reduces efficiency but also increases labor intensity.

[0005] 2. Low accuracy: Due to the lack of an effective counting mechanism, existing ball dividers may have inaccurate counting, affecting the user experience.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technology has deficiencies and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0078] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0079] Startup mechanism:

[0080] When the user covers the fourth sensor 406 under the front side panel 404 with the golf club, the fourth sensor 406 transmits a signal to the control mainboard 501 .

[0081] After receiving the signal, the control main board 501 starts the first stirring motor 101 .

[0082] Mixing and conveying:

[0083] The rotating shaft of the first stirring motor 101 is arranged upward to drive the first stirring plate 102 to rotate.

[0084] The golf balls roll onto the first agitating plate 102 through the first inclined plate 203 and the second inclined plate 204 .

[0085] The first agitating blocks 103 and the protruding structures 104 on the first agitating plate 102 help to evenly distribute the golf balls and guide them into the lower tube 301 .

[0086] Counting and allocating:

[0087] After entering the lower tube 301 , the golf ball passes through the first slide 302 and the second slide 305 in sequence.

[0088] In the first slide 302 , the first golf ball is detected by the first sensor 306 .

[0089] The first golf ball continues to roll until it is temporarily stopped by the ball blocking plate 304 .

[0090] The first counting motor 303 drives the L-shaped ball baffle 304 to flip, so that the first golf ball enters the second slide 305 , and the flipping action of the ball baffle 304 is confirmed by the second sensor 307 .

[0091] The golf ball entering the second slide 305 is detected by the third sensor 308 and falls out through the second slide 305 .

[0092] Each time a golf ball passes through the above process, a count is completed and displayed on the display screen 407.

[0093] Control and Feedback:

[0094] The control mainboard 501 realizes remote control through a wireless module and a signal receiver.

[0095] The fifth sensors 503 are distributed at different heights of the first side plate 201 and are used to detect whether there is a golf ball in the ball bin.

[0096] If the fifth sensor 503 detects that there is no golf ball, the first reaction light 504 on the right side panel 403 will light up to remind the user that the ball bin is empty.

[0097] Structural Support:

[0098] The upper cover 401 is hinged to the rear side panel 405 and is provided with a support rod 408 for easy opening for maintenance or adding golf balls.

[0099] The ball distribution plate 410 is located between the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202 to prevent golf balls from directly falling and causing damage to the first agitating plate 102 .

[0100] The feet 411 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the chassis ensure the stability of the equipment.

[0101] Through this series of steps, the double-layer ball fully automatic ball separator realizes the automation of the entire process from golf ball collection, mixing, transmission to final counting of falling balls, ensuring that only one golf ball is released each time and displaying the counting results in real time through the display screen 407, thereby improving ball separation efficiency and accuracy.
