Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to basketball testing, specifically an inflation device for basketball testing. Background Technology

[0002] As a commonly used ball in sports, the airtightness of basketballs has an unpredictable impact on their use and quality. During the basketball production process, it is necessary to test the airtightness of basketballs during inflation. Many existing methods for testing the airtightness of basketballs involve placing the inflated basketball in water and observing for the presence of air bubbles. However, this observation method is often prone to errors. When the air pressure inside the basketball is insufficient, the gas will not leak, making it impossible to observe air bubbles when placing it in water, thus affecting the accuracy of the test.

[0003] Furthermore, in existing technologies, basketballs are deflated during packaging to save space. Therefore, after inflation for airtightness testing, basketballs need to be deflated again. Deflating is typically done naturally or by manually squeezing the basketball, which is inefficient and cumbersome. To address this, a basketball inflation device for testing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inflation device for basketball testing in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inflation device for basketball detection, comprising a frame; characterized in that it further comprises a positioning seat mounted on the frame for limiting the position of the basketball, an air pump mounted on the frame, an air needle connected to the air pump via a pipeline, and a pressure gauge connected to the pipeline for detecting pressure; it also comprises an exhaust device mounted on the frame for limiting the position of the basketball and accelerating the exhaust speed of the basketball to improve the basketball detection efficiency; the exhaust device comprises a plurality of drivers mounted on the frame and arranged in a circular array around the positioning seat, and a pressurizing component mounted on the drivers.

[0006] A further preferred embodiment includes an arc-shaped end disposed at the end of the pressure member facing the positioning seat.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment includes a flexible pad installed on the curved end to prevent damage to the basketball during pressurization.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment includes a spherical groove on the positioning seat that is spherically shaped and serves to limit the position of the basketball.

[0009] More preferably, the actuator is a cylinder or an electric actuator.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By connecting a pressure gauge to the pipeline connecting the air pump and the air needle, after the basketball is inflated by the air pump, the pressure gauge is used to observe whether there is any air leakage, thereby testing the air tightness of the basketball; by setting up an exhaust device, after the basketball is tested, the exhaust efficiency of the basketball is accelerated, and the next basketball is tested more quickly, thus improving the testing efficiency.

[0014] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the air-filled device for basketball testing according to this utility model.

[0015] It should be noted that all directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0016] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly; for example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0017] See Figure 1-2As shown, a basketball detection inflation device includes a frame 1; it is characterized by further including a positioning seat 2 mounted on the frame 1 for limiting the position of the basketball, an air pump 3 mounted on the frame 1, an air needle 4 connected to the air pump 3 via a pipeline, and a pressure gauge 5 connected to the pipeline for detecting pressure; it also includes an exhaust device disposed on the frame 1 for limiting the position of the basketball and accelerating the exhaust speed of the basketball to improve the basketball detection efficiency; the exhaust device includes a plurality of drivers 6 mounted on the frame 1 and arranged in a circular array with the positioning seat 2 as the center, and a pressurizing member 61 mounted on the drivers 6;

[0018] By connecting a pressure gauge 5 to the pipeline connecting the air pump 3 and the air needle 4, after the basketball is inflated by the air pump 3, the pressure gauge 5 is used to observe whether there is any air leakage in the basketball, thereby testing the air tightness of the basketball; by setting up an exhaust device, after the basketball is tested, the exhaust device is used to speed up the exhaust efficiency of the basketball, speed up the testing of the next basketball, and improve the testing efficiency.

[0019] The arrangement of several drivers 6 and pressurizing components 61 in a circular array around the center of the positioning seat 2 is to ensure that the basketball is subjected to uniform pressure when the pressurizing components 61 apply pressure to the basketball, ensuring that the basketball is on the positioning seat 2 during the pressure release process, avoiding movement of the basketball due to uneven force, and avoiding the impact of uneven pressure on the basketball.

[0020] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped end 62 is provided at one end of the pressure member 61 facing the positioning seat 2. The arc-shaped end 62 is provided to avoid sharp edges and corners from affecting or even damaging the basketball when it is squeezed.

[0021] In one embodiment, a flexible pad 63 is also included, which is installed on the curved end 62 to prevent damage to the basketball during pressurization; the flexible pad 63 further softens the contact between the pressurizing member 61 and the basketball.

[0022] In one embodiment, the system further includes a spherical groove 7 disposed on the positioning seat 2 in a spherical shape to limit the position of the basketball; the spherical groove 7 limits the position of the basketball on the positioning seat 2.

[0023] In one embodiment, the actuator 6 is a cylinder or an electric actuator.

[0024] In use, the following steps are taken: First, place the basketball to be tested on the positioning seat 2. Then, insert the air needle 4 into the air hole of the basketball. Inflate the basketball with the air pump 3 until the set pressure is reached, then stop inflating and continue for a period of time. During this period, the air tightness of the basketball is monitored by the pressure gauge 5. If the air tightness is qualified, pull out the air needle 4 connected to the air pump 3 and insert the air needle 4 to release the air naturally. Then, start several actuators 6. The actuators 6 drive the pressurizing component 61 to operate. The pressurizing component 61 drives the arc-shaped end 62 to contact the basketball and compress it. The compressing force is set within a controllable range to avoid excessive compressing force that could damage the basketball. After the basketball is deflated, the actuators 6 drive the pressurizing component 61 to reset. After deflating, the air tightness of the next basketball can be tested. The deflated basketball can then be packaged.
