[0037] refer to Figure 1-2As shown, the utility model provides a billiard ball polishing device, including a drum mechanism 8, a ball tube 6, a polishing tube 7 and a polishing wheel 13;

[0038] refer to Figure 3-4 As shown, the drum mechanism 8 includes a bottom ring 82, an inner cylinder 83, a side cover plate 84 and an outer cylinder 81. The inner cylinder 83 and the outer cylinder 81 are concentrically arranged on the bottom ring 82. An annular channel 16 is formed between the inner cylinder 83 and the outer cylinder 81. The drum mechanism 8 is connected to a driving mechanism 14. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 14 can be configured to be electrically driven or manually driven.

[0039] The goal tubes 6 are multiple and are annularly inserted into the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 81. The bottom ends of the goal tubes 6 are in contact with the inner cylinder 83 but do not penetrate the inner cylinder 83. Preferably, four goal tubes 6 are provided in this embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, a ball outlet notch 61 is provided at the bottom end of the ball tube 6, and the ball outlet notch 61 is located in the annular channel 16;

[0040] The polishing tubes 7 are multiple and annularly arranged on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 81. The polishing tubes 7 and the goal tubes 6 are staggered. In this embodiment, four polishing tubes 7 are provided. The upper end of the polishing tube 7 is provided with a cover 10. The lower end of the polishing tube 7 passes through the side wall of the outer cylinder 81 and the side wall of the inner cylinder 83 in sequence. The lower end of the polishing tube 7 extends into the inner cylinder 83 by 4-6 cm. Figure 7 As shown, the polishing tube 7 is provided with a goal hole 71. It is worth noting that the goal hole 71 is located below the polishing tube 7 and is not connected to the bottom end of the polishing tube 7, while the ball outlet notch 61 is located in contact with the bottom end of the goal tube 6. In addition, the length of the goal tube 6 needs to be greater than the length of the polishing tube 7, so that when the drum mechanism 8 rotates, the circular diameter swept by the goal tube 6 is greater than the circular diameter swept by the polishing tube 7. The goal hole 71 is located in the annular channel 16 and the goal hole 71 and the ball outlet notch 61 are opposite to each other, so that when the drum mechanism 8 rotates, the billiard balls can enter and exit from the goal hole 71 and the ball outlet notch 61. A counterweight mechanism 18 for applying pressure to the billiard balls is provided in the polishing tube 7.

[0041] The polishing wheel 13 extends into the inner cylinder 83 and is concentrically arranged with the inner cylinder 83. There is a gap between the bottom port of the polishing tube 7 and the polishing wheel 13. The polishing wheel 13 is arranged to rotate. When the polishing tube 7 is at the 12 o'clock position, the billiard ball falls onto the polishing tube 7 for polishing due to its own gravity and the pressure applied by the counterweight mechanism 18.

[0042] The billiard ball polishing device includes a bracket 1, a tray 3 is provided above the bracket 1, the tray 3 is used to place the billiard balls to be polished, the tray 3 is located above the drum mechanism 8 and a ball discharge mechanism 5 is provided at the discharge port of the tray 3, and a receiving tray 2 is also placed on the bracket, the receiving tray 2 is located below the drum mechanism 8, and the receiving tray 2 is used to receive the billiard balls after polishing.

[0043] When the upper end of the ball tube 6 rotates close to the ball discharging mechanism 5, the ball discharging mechanism 5 is triggered to discharge the billiard ball. The triggering can be mechanically triggered or grating-sensed, and the present application is not limited thereto. When the ball tube 6 rotates to the 6 o'clock position, the billiard ball is discharged from the ball tube 6.

[0044] A turntable bearing base 9 is provided on the outside of the outer cylinder 81. The turntable bearing base 9 can be a dining table turntable bearing base. A support frame 4 is provided on the bracket 1. The outer ring of the turntable bearing base 9 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the support frame 4. The support frame 4 is welded to the bracket 1. In addition, the outer ring of the turntable bearing base 9 and the support frame 4 can be connected by welding or screw fastening to ensure the smooth rotation of the outer cylinder 81. The outer periphery of the outer cylinder 81 is provided with a clamp fixing buckle 11 for fastening the ball tube 6 and the polishing tube 7.

[0045] In order to drive the rotation of the polishing wheel 13, a polishing motor 12 is slidingly arranged on the bracket 1. As for its sliding method, those skilled in the art can implement it in a variety of ways, such as setting a slide rail and a slide plate, etc. The sliding setting of the polishing motor 12 makes it easy to replace the polishing wheel 13. The polishing motor 12 adopts a high-speed rotating motor, and the output end of the polishing motor 12 is connected to the polishing wheel 13.

[0046] A limit ring 17 is also provided in the annular channel 16. The limit ring 17 is located on both sides of the goal tube 6, thereby limiting the movement path of the billiard ball, so as to facilitate guiding the billiard ball to enter and exit from the goal hole 71 and the ball outlet notch 61. A side cover plate 84 for covering the limit ring 17 is also fixedly provided at the end of the outer tube 81.

[0047] In order to drive the drum mechanism 8 to rotate, the present application provides two implementation methods. The first is manual drive. Specifically, the driving mechanism 14 is a handle, which is arranged at the center of the side cover 84. Through this arrangement, the drum mechanism 8 can be driven to rotate by simply rotating the handle; the second is electric drive. Specifically, the driving mechanism 14 includes a rotating shaft 143, a drum motor 144, a driving gear 142 and a driven gear 141. A rotating shaft 143 is provided at the center of the side cover 84, and a driven gear 141 is provided on the rotating shaft 143. A bearing seat 15 and a drum motor 144 are provided on the bracket 1. The rotating shaft 143 is passed through the bearing seat 15, and a driving gear 142 is provided at the output end of the drum motor 144. The driving gear 142 and the driven gear 141 are meshed with each other. In this implementation, the drum motor 144 adopts a stepping motor, a speed regulating motor or a servo motor, so that the drum mechanism 8 can rotate slowly or intermittently.

[0048] The inner wall of the polishing tube 7 is provided with a plurality of wool strips 19, and the wool strips 19 are located below the goal hole 71. Further, the number of the wool strips 19 is 6-8 and is pasted on the inner wall of the polishing tube 7. Figure 8 As shown, the counterweight mechanism 18 includes a support 182, a screw 183, a wool pad 181 and a guide plate 184. The wool pad 181 is arranged on the bottom surface of the support 182 and can be connected by pasting. The screw 183 is connected above the support 182 and the guide plate 184 is connected to the screw. The diameter of the guide plate 184 and the support 182 is 2-5mm smaller than the inner diameter of the polishing tube 7, so that the support 182 can be slightly shaken in the polishing tube 7 to fine-tune the rotation of the billiard ball. In addition, by providing a wool pad 181 on the bottom surface of the support 182 and a wool strip 19 on the inner wall of the polishing tube 7, when the billiard ball contacts it, the billiard ball is rotated by means of friction, thereby preventing the billiard ball from only having linear contact with the polishing wheel 13 and affecting the polishing effect.

[0049] During the working process of the present invention, the billiard ball is placed on the tray 3, and the polishing paste is applied to the polishing wheel 13, the polishing motor 12 and the drum motor 144 are started, the drum mechanism 8 rotates, and when the upper end of the goal tube 6 rotates close to the ball outlet mechanism 5, the ball outlet mechanism 5 is triggered to discharge the billiard ball, and the billiard ball falls into the goal tube 6. Figure 5 As shown, after the billiard ball falls into the goal tube 6, it is discharged from the ball outlet notch 61 through the annular channel 16 and enters the polishing tube 7 from the goal hole 71. When the polishing tube 7 rotates to the 12 o'clock position, the billiard ball falls onto the polishing wheel 13 for polishing due to the gravity of the billiard ball and the pressure applied by the counterweight mechanism 18. When the polishing tube 7 rotates to the 9 o'clock position, the billiard ball enters the goal tube 6 from the goal hole 71 again, and then the billiard ball falls from the goal tube 6 onto the receiving tray 2.

[0050] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to a number of illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and implementations may be devised by those skilled in the art that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications may be made to the components or arrangements of the subject combination arrangement within the scope of the present disclosure, the drawings, and the claims. In addition to variations and modifications to the components or arrangements, other uses will also be apparent to those skilled in the art.
