[0030] Round pipe 21 is coaxially fixedly installed on the output shaft of air cylinder 12, inflation needle 23 is coaxially fixedly installed at the end away from air cylinder 12 of round pipe 21, and inflation needle 23 is communicated with round pipe 21, air pump 24 is installed on the fixed installation in support 11, and air pump 24 is communicated with round pipe 21 by air inlet pipe 22, and air pump 24 is electrically connected with foot switch 13.

[0031] The supporting mechanism 3 comprises a supporting plate 31, a fixing assembly 32 and a connecting piece 33.

[0032] The supporting plate 31 is fixedly installed on the support 11 and is located directly below the inflating needle 23, and is used for supporting the football. In order to enable the football to be placed on the supporting plate 31 relatively stably, a groove 311 is formed in the upper end surface of the supporting plate 31, and the groove surface of the groove 311 is arc-shaped. When the football is placed on the supporting plate 31, the groove wall of the groove 311 can completely adhere to the spherical surface of the football, so that the football is not easy to shake on the supporting plate.

[0033] The fixing assembly 32 comprises two clamping plates 321, which are oppositely arranged along the width direction of the football and are hingedly connected to the side edges of the supporting plate 31. The two clamping plates 321 can rotate in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. When the two clamping plates 321 rotate in the direction of approaching each other until the ends of the two clamping plates 321, which are away from the supporting plate 31, abut against each other, the connecting piece 33 installed on the clamping plates 321 connects the clamping plates 321, and the two clamping plates 321 jointly enclose a ring shape. The inner side wall of the clamping plate 321 abuts against the football, so as to fix the football.

[0034] In the embodiment, the connecting piece 33 is provided as a magnet 331. Two magnets 331 are provided, and the two magnets 331 correspond to the two clamping plates 321 respectively. The magnet 331 is fixedly installed on the end of the clamping plate 321, which is away from the supporting plate. Openings are formed in the opposite end surfaces of the two magnets 331. When the two magnets 331 are adhered together, the openings in the two magnets 331 enclose a through hole 3211. The through hole 3211 is coaxially arranged with the inflating needle 23 above and coaxially communicates with the inflating hole on the football. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the connecting piece 33 can also be formed by a buckle or other components.

[0035] When it is needed to inflate the football, the two clamping plates 321 are rotated in the direction of moving away from each other, and then the football is placed on the supporting plate, and the inflating hole on the football is placed upward. When the spherical surface of the football adheres to the groove wall of the groove 311 on the supporting plate, the two clamping plates 321 are driven to rotate in the direction of approaching each other until the magnets 331 on the two clamping plates 321 adhere together. At this time, it can be checked whether the through hole 3211 in the magnet 331 is aligned with the inflating hole on the football. If not, it is needed to be finely adjusted. If yes, the foot switch 13 is pressed, so that the output shaft of the air cylinder 12 drives the inflating needle 23 to move downward until the inflating needle 23 passes through the through hole 3211 and is inserted into the inflating hole of the football. Then, the air pump 24 starts to work. The gas sequentially passes through the air inlet pipe 22, the circular pipe 21 and the inflating needle 23 to enter the football, so as to realize the inflation of the football.

[0036] In the above operation, the clamping plate 321 not only fixes the football so that the football is not easy to shake, and the through hole 3211 on the clamping plate 321 enables the staff to have a reference when adjusting the position of the football, so that the staff can adjust the football to the correct position at most once, and then the inflation needle 23 can be accurately inserted into the inflation hole of the football, so that the staff is greatly facilitated to adjust the position of the football, and the frequency of adjusting the position of the football is reduced, and the efficiency of football production is improved.

[0037] In the above operation, the clamping plate 321 not only fixes the football so that the football is not easy to shake, and the through hole 3211 on the clamping plate 321 enables the staff to have a reference when adjusting the position of the football, so that the staff can adjust the football to the correct position at most once, and then the inflation needle 23 can be accurately inserted into the inflation hole of the football, so that the staff is greatly facilitated to adjust the position of the football, and the frequency of adjusting the position of the football is reduced, and the efficiency of football production is improved.

[0038] The pressure detection piece 34 comprises a detection seat 341.

[0039] The detection seat 341 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the clamping plate 321, and a pressure sensor 342 is further installed on the detection seat 341, the pressure sensor 342 is electrically connected with the air pump 24, and a detection pipe 343 is further fixedly connected to the detection seat 341, the pressure sensor 342 is located in the detection pipe 343, a sliding rod 344 is slidably connected in the detection pipe 343, a return spring 345 is coaxially sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the sliding rod 344, one end of the return spring 345 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the sliding rod 344, and the other end of the return spring 345 is fixedly connected to the end of the detection pipe 343 away from the detection seat 341.

[0040] Meanwhile, in order to reduce the damage probability of the pressure detection piece 34 to the football, an abutting block 346 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 344 away from the detection seat 341, and the end of the abutting block 346 close to the football is provided as an arc surface, so as to reduce the extrusion to the football.

[0041] When the football is located between the two clamping plates 321, the abutting block 346 on the sliding rod 344 abuts against the surface of the football, and as the football gradually inflates with the gas, the football also expands, thereby extruding the abutting block 346 and driving the sliding rod 344 to slide in the direction close to the detection seat 341, until the end of the sliding rod 344 located in the detection pipe 343 abuts against the pressure sensor 342, at this time, it indicates that the football is in the state of inflation saturation, and the pressure sensor 342 also transmits a signal to the air pump 24 when receiving the extrusion, and the air pump 24 stops working after receiving the signal, so that the pressure detection piece 34 completes the pressure detection work of the football as a whole, and also has the function of automatically stopping inflation, thereby avoiding the over-inflation of the football as much as possible, and reducing the substandard rate of the football.

[0042] In addition, the pressure detection pieces 34 in the embodiment are provided in plurality, the plurality of pressure detection pieces 34 are uniformly and spacedly arranged around the clamping plate 321 axis, the plurality of pressure detection pieces 34 are not only capable of playing a better fixing effect on the rugby ball, but also can set the signal receiver in the air pump 24 to stop working after receiving the signals of all the pressure sensors 342, so that the air in each space in the rugby ball can be guaranteed to be sufficient before stopping inflating the rugby ball, thereby further reducing the defective rate of the rugby ball.

[0043] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and are not limited to the protection scope of the utility model, wherein the same parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. Therefore: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the utility model should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
