[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figures 1-4 As shown, a baseball and softball pressing machine includes a fixed plate 1 and a movable plate 2.

[0027] The fixed plate 1 is provided with a first annular groove 11; an outlet hole channel (not shown) is provided at one end of the fixed plate 1, and the outlet hole channel is communicated with the first groove;

[0028] The movable plate 2 is provided with a second, annular groove 21. The movable plate 2 is positioned above the fixed plate 1 and is rotatable relative to the fixed plate 1. The first groove 11 and the second groove 21 are aligned vertically, and their combined longitudinal cross-section forms a true circle. An inlet channel 22 is provided at one end of the movable plate, communicating with the second groove. Generally, the longitudinal cross-section of the first groove can be an upright semicircle, and the longitudinal cross-section of the second groove can be an inverted semicircle, so that the combined longitudinal cross-sections form a true circle. Thus, the annular first groove and the circular second groove form an annular channel with a true circle in longitudinal cross-section.

[0029] The number of the circular annular channel can be one or more, and can be set according to the actual size. This embodiment takes two circular annular channels as an example.

[0030] That is, as a specific embodiment, the fixed plate 1 is provided with two annular first grooves 11, the movable plate 2 is provided with two corresponding annular second grooves 21, the inlet hole channels are provided with two corresponding ones, and the outlet hole channels are provided with two corresponding ones.

[0031] The two first grooves 11 and the two second grooves 21 are aligned vertically to form two circular longitudinal sections. Figure 4 As shown, since the first groove and the second groove are both annular, there are two perfectly circular longitudinal sections on each side. The two perfectly circular longitudinal sections are described using one side as an example. The diameters of the two perfectly circular longitudinal sections can be equal or unequal. If the diameters of the two perfectly circular longitudinal sections are equal, it can be used in situations where baseballs and softballs are more common, which can improve processing efficiency. If the diameters of the two perfectly circular longitudinal sections are unequal, spherical objects of different specifications or types can be processed separately, such as ball cores or baseballs and softballs. The setting can be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the diameters of the two perfectly circular longitudinal sections are unequal.

[0032] As a specific embodiment, the two inlet holes are each provided with a trumpet-shaped feed hopper (not shown). The feed hopper facilitates the insertion of the core or baseball. Alternatively, the core or baseball can be directly inserted through the inlet hole without the feed hopper.

[0033] As a specific embodiment, the two outlet hole channels are connected to one discharge inclined plate channel 13, and baffles 14 are provided on both sides of the discharge inclined plate channel 13. This can be set according to actual needs to provide one discharge inclined plate channel or two discharge inclined plate channels.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, a rotating shaft 3 is fixed to the movable plate 2. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the fixed plate 1 and is connected to the motor 4, which drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Alternatively, the motor may be connected to a reducer, which is connected to the rotating shaft. In this way, the motor and reducer drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The reducer is a device used to reduce the motor speed and increase the torque, converting the high-speed, low-torque motor transmission into a low-speed, high-torque output.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the fixed plate 1 has a first center hole 15, and the movable plate 2 has a second center hole 23. The inner diameter of the second center hole 23 is smaller than that of the first center hole 15. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the first center hole 15 and is fixedly connected to the second center hole 23. A gap exists between the rotating shaft 3 and the inner wall of the first center hole 15. In this way, when the rotating shaft rotates, only the movable plate rotates, minimizing the impact on the fixed plate, while the fixed plate remains stationary.

[0036] As a specific embodiment, the movable plate 2 is fixed with a rotating handle 24. In this way, the initial position can be adjusted by rotating the handle.

[0037] As a specific implementation, the fixed plate 1 and the motor 4 are both fixed on a bracket 5 .

[0038] The working process of the baseball and softball pressing machine under a specific embodiment is as follows:

[0039] The motor 4 is started, and the movable plate 2 rotates relative to the fixed plate 1, placing the pre-processed baseball or softball core into the inlet hole channel. The baseball or softball core falls through the inlet hole channel into the annular channel with a perfect circular cross-section formed by the combination of the first groove and the second groove. The diameter of the perfect circle is the diameter of the baseball or softball core that is required to be consistent in all directions. The baseball or softball core rolls in the annular channel, is further squeezed and rounded, and thus processed into a perfect sphere with a more consistent diameter in all directions, and then discharged from the outlet hole channel.

[0040] In order to make the working path of the circular annular channel longer, in the initial position, the inlet hole channel of the movable plate is located adjacent to and offset up and down beside the outlet hole channel of the fixed plate.

[0041] It should be noted that the serial numbers "first", "second", etc. in this specification are for the purpose of distinguishing the components and do not imply a sequence or order, and do not express or imply relative importance, such as "first groove", "second groove". Although the outlet channel is not shown in the figure, it can be understood by reference to the inlet channel.

[0042] The baseball and softball ball pressing machine of the present invention may also be called a baseball and softball ball kneading machine, which should not affect the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
