Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball picker, particularly the technical field of self-picking ball type sports cart. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of sports competition and daily training, the ground of small ball sports such as tennis and table tennis is often scattered with many small balls such as tennis and table tennis. The traditional way of recycling such small balls is to bend down one by one manually. This method seems simple to operate, but it is very tiring and inefficient.

[0003] In order to reduce the labor intensity of picking up balls and improve the efficiency of picking up balls, a batch of ball pickers for users to stand and pick up balls have gradually appeared on the market, such as the tennis ball picker with publication number CN104415513A, the tennis ball picker with publication number CN103239838A and the tennis ball picker with publication number CN104014114A. However, the above-mentioned ball pickers have the following problems: on the one hand, they cannot pre-converge the scattered small balls on the ground, so the actual improvement of the ball picking efficiency is not very ideal; on the other hand, they need to be carried by the user throughout the process, so they still consume a lot of physical strength. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art and propose a self-picking ball type sports cart, which has high ball picking efficiency and consumes little physical strength.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model proposes a self-picking ball type sports cart, which comprises a picking mechanism and a sports cart seat. The picking mechanism has a ball bucket with its mouth downward and a frame body installed. The frame wall of the frame body is provided with a elastic net formed by arranging elastic bands. The picking mechanism is carried by the sports cart seat and can move up and down relative to the sports cart seat. The picking mechanism can make the external balls stretch the elastic bands and enter the barrel of the ball bucket along the stretching gap during manual pressing. The sports cart seat can be moved by hand on the ground.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of elastic bands are arranged in parallel in the frame wall of the frame body and form a band gap between each other.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the sports cart seat comprises a frame, universal wheels and a stand. The bottom of the frame is provided with a plurality of universal wheels, and the top is provided with a vertical stand. The stand is sleeved with a sleeve, which is fixed with the ball bucket and provided with an upward extending long handle.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the sleeve can only move up and down relative to the frame and cannot rotate relative to the frame.

[0009] As preferred, the top of the column is closed by a limiting cover and the maximum upper sliding position of the sleeve is limited.

[0010] As preferred, the frame is in U shape and the opening is provided with an outwardly expanded part.

[0011] As preferred, each of the universal wheels is arranged close to the outer edge of the frame, and a sweeping sheet is further arranged at the inner edge of the frame, and the bottom end of the sweeping sheet is not lower than the bottom end of the universal wheel.

[0012] As preferred, a spring is further arranged on the column to upwardly support the sleeve.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0014] 1) The movable vehicle seat is arranged on the ground and can be moved by hand, the pickup mechanism with the pickup function is arranged on the movable vehicle seat, and the pickup mechanism and the movable vehicle seat are relatively vertically slidable, so that when the pickup mechanism is pressed, the ball outside the pickup mechanism is automatically expanded by the elastic belt and enters the barrel of the ball barrel along the expansion gap, thereby avoiding the user's bending, and the movable vehicle seat can reduce the movement intensity of the user carrying the pickup mechanism to effectively save the physical strength.

[0015] 2) The frame is in U shape and the opening is provided with an outwardly expanded part, the sweeping sheet is further arranged at the inner edge of the frame, so that during the movement of the movable vehicle seat, the sweeping sheet arranged at both ends is used to collect the balls on the court, thereby effectively improving the ball picking efficiency.

[0016] 3) The spring is arranged between the pickup mechanism and the movable vehicle seat, so that the pickup mechanism can be prevented from sinking during the non-picking period.

[0017] The features and advantages of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 The self-picking ball type sports cart of the utility model comprises a picking mechanism 1 and a sports car seat 2, the picking mechanism 1 has a ball barrel 13 with a frame 11 installed downwards, an elastic net 12 formed by elastic bands arranged in the frame wall of the frame 11, the picking mechanism 1 is carried by the sports car seat 2 and can move up and down relative to the sports car seat 2, the picking mechanism 1 can make the ball outside the elastic band 12 be stretched and enter the barrel body of the ball barrel 13 along the stretched gap during being manually pressed, and the sports car seat 2 can be manually moved on the ground.

[0026] A plurality of elastic bands are arranged in parallel in the frame wall of the frame 11 and form a band gap between each other.

[0027] The sports car seat 2 comprises a car frame 21, a universal wheel 22 and a stand 24, the bottom of the car frame 21 is provided with a plurality of universal wheels 22 and the top is provided with a vertical stand 24, the stand 24 is sleeved with a sleeve 14, the sleeve 14 is fixed with the ball barrel 13 and is provided with a long handle 15 extending upwards.

[0028] The sleeve 14 can only move up and down relative to the frame 11 and cannot rotate relative to the frame 11.

[0029] The top of the stand 24 is closed by a limiting cover 25 and the maximum sliding position of the sleeve 14 is limited.

[0030] The car frame 21 is in the shape of U and is provided with an outward expansion part 211.

[0031] Each universal wheel 22 is arranged close to the outer edge of the car frame 21, the inner edge of the car frame 21 is further provided with a sweep sheet 23, and the bottom end of the sweep sheet 23 is not lower than the bottom end of the universal wheel 22.

[0032] The stand 24 is further provided with a spring 3 which can upwardly support the sleeve 14.

[0033] The working process of the utility model:

[0034] First, hold the long handle 15 and use each universal wheel 22 to drive the picking mechanism 1 and the moving seat 2 to move freely in the field; during the free movement, the two ends of the outwardly expanded sweeping sheet 23 can continuously gather each scattered ball under the picking ball barrel 13; at this time, if the ball needs to be picked up, the sleeve 14 is driven by the long handle 15 to slide downward along the stand 24 and compress the spring 3 until each gathered ball is squeezed into the inside of the ball barrel 13 along its corresponding belt seam; after the hand is released, the spring 3 will use the elastic force to lift the picking mechanism 1 again.

[0035] In addition, if the ball collected by the ball barrel 13 needs to be taken out, the long handle 15 can be pulled upward to lift the ball barrel 13 synchronously, and then the elastic belt is manually pried open to form an opening (the ball can leak out of the opening downward).

[0036] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present application, not limiting of the present application, and any simple transformation of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
