Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of billiards, and more particularly to an automatic billiard ball swinging device. Background Art

[0002] Billiards is a popular sport among young people. After each round, the billiard balls need to be rearranged according to certain rules in preparation for the next round. The traditional method of arranging the balls is generally to manually remove the billiard balls from the hole, collect them, and arrange them. This not only wastes a lot of manpower but also brings great inconvenience to players. Currently, automatic ball arranging machines have been developed and produced on the market for automatic placement of billiard balls (https: / / v.douyi n.com / iM61tFe5 / ).

[0003] However, the aforementioned automatic ball swinging device has complex components and is relatively large in size, which takes up a large space and is difficult to be applied to most billiard tables on the market. The manufacturing cost is also relatively high, which is not conducive to its widespread use. In view of the above problems, we provide an automatic billiard ball swinging device.

[0004] The above information disclosed in this background technology is only used to increase the understanding of the background technology of the present invention. Therefore, it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the utility model provides an automatic billiard ball swinging device.

[0006] The utility model provides an automatic billiard ball swinging device adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An automatic billiard ball swinging device includes a billiard table, with the ball swinging device provided on the side of the billiard table. The ball swinging device includes a chassis detachably mounted on the side of the billiard table; a first bracket hingedly mounted on a side end of the chassis; a second bracket hingedly mounted on a side end of the first bracket; a third bracket hingedly mounted on a side end of the second bracket; and a suction cup group hingedly mounted on a side end of the third bracket; the second bracket, the third bracket, and the suction cup group can be rotated out through the first bracket.

[0008] Preferably, a ball suction mechanism is provided in the suction cup group for sucking and fixing the billiard ball in contact with the suction cup group.

[0009] Preferably, the ball-absorbing mechanism includes an air pump fixedly mounted on the top of the suction cup group. Fifteen ball holes are provided on the bottom of the suction cup group for contacting and absorbing billiard balls. Each of the ball holes is connected to the suction end of the air pump.

[0010] Preferably, an electric control valve is installed inside the ball hole for opening and closing the passage of the ball hole.

[0011] Preferably, a driver for controlling the rotation of the first bracket is installed inside the chassis.

[0012] Preferably, a driver for controlling the rotation of the second bracket is installed inside the first bracket.

[0013] Preferably, a driver for controlling the rotation of the third bracket is installed inside the second bracket.

[0014] Preferably, the ball swinging device is suitable for a billiard table with an automatic ball return track.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] The suction cup group is arranged above the ball collector, and the ball hole contacts the billiard ball. Then, the air pump is operated to make the ball hole absorb and fix the billiard ball. Then, the first bracket is rotated to move the second bracket, the third bracket and the suction cup group from the bottom of the billiard table and to the top of the billiard table. During the rotation of the first bracket, the second bracket will rotate, so that the suction cup group moves to the outside of the first bracket. When the suction cup group is arranged on the top of the billiard table, the third bracket will rotate, so that the suction cup group is arranged at the ball placement position on the top of the billiard table. Finally, the suction cup group places the arranged billiard ball on the billiard table. The air pump stops working to separate the billiard ball from the ball hole. Through this structural design, the automatic placement of billiard balls can be completed without destroying the original design and components of the billiard table, and it can be flexibly adapted to different billiard tables. At the same time, during the rotation of the first bracket, the second bracket and the third bracket can be rotated and moved out of the first bracket, which can increase the speed of ball placement to a certain extent. In addition, this structure has few components, low manufacturing cost and strong adaptability.

[0017] The above summary is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments and features described above, further aspects, embodiments and features of the present invention will be readily apparent by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.
