Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of sports goods, and particularly relates to a ball recycling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularity of ball sports such as table tennis, badminton and tennis, the scattered balls on the court often become a big trouble for players. There are various ball recycling devices on the market at present, such as manual recycling device, automatic drum recycling device and dust suction type recycling machine.

[0003] The manual recycling device usually relies on the user to manually pick up the ball with a special tool. For example, the patent with the publication number CN205287476U and the invention name of "a sports teaching ball recycling device" discloses a ball recycling device similar to a trolley, which has a hole similar to the net of a badminton racket, used to press the ground ball into the ball catcher, and then turn over the ball catcher to pour the ball into the collection box. This way is low in efficiency, especially on a large court, and the collection time is long, which can easily affect the sports experience. In addition, the ball can not be picked up when it falls in the corner and narrow place. Moreover, the manual recycling process can easily damage the ball, and the physical requirement of the user is high.

[0004] The automatic drum recycling device rolls the ball into the device through the rotation of the mechanical drum. The advantage of this device is relatively automatic, but its structure is complex, the maintenance cost is high, and the recycling effect is limited when the ground is uneven or the balls are scattered, and it cannot completely pick up all the balls.

[0005] The dust suction type recycling machine uses air flow to suck the ball, which is simple to operate. However, this type of equipment has the problem of insufficient suction, and it is difficult to efficiently recycle a large number of balls in a short time, and it may also cause wear and tear to the surface of the ball, reducing the service life of the ball.

[0006] In summary, the existing ball recycling devices generally have the problems of low recycling efficiency, high maintenance cost, damage to the ball, and other shortcomings, and there is an urgent need for a new type of efficient and low-damage ball recycling scheme to meet the growing market demand. SUMMARY

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a ball recycling device with low cost, which can adapt to narrow places such as corners and columns, has adjustable capacity, and can promote the small amplitude bounce of the ball, in view of the status quo of the prior art.

[0008] The utility model discloses a technology scheme that solves the above technical problems: the ball recycling device, including the receiving pocket for containing the ball and the main frame for supporting the receiving pocket, further including the first segment outside the edge of the receiving pocket for shoveling the ball, and the second segment between the first segment and the main frame. The first segment has the following functions: 1. Avoiding the frame shoveling the ground, the ground wears the opening edge of the receiving pocket, causing the receiving pocket to fall off; 2. When the ball recycling device shovels the ball, the first segment can act on the lower part of the ball, making the ball bounce, cooperating with the pushing action, and thus falling into the deep part of the receiving pocket. If there is no first segment, when the ball recycling device shovels the ball, the fabric of the soft opening edge of the receiving pocket will gently push the ball away, and even if the ball falls into the receiving pocket, it will only gather at the opening edge of the receiving pocket. The ball of the application includes table tennis balls, badminton ball heads and tennis balls.

[0009] In the preferred scheme, the distance L between the first segment and the main frame is smaller than the diameter of the ball, which can avoid the ball staying in the gap between the first segment and the main frame.

[0010] In the preferred scheme, the first segment is a curved steel sheet, the curved direction of which is opposite to the direction of the ball recycling device shoveling the ground, and the maximum diameter H of the first segment is greater than 1 mm and smaller than 5 mm. When the ball recycling device shovels the ball, the first segment as a curved steel sheet can rub against the ground, causing the first segment to bounce, and the shaking can be transmitted to the ball, driving the ball to bounce with a larger amplitude. If the maximum diameter H of the first segment is smaller than 1 mm, the ball cannot bounce, and if it is greater than 5 mm, the ball will be pushed away.

[0011] In another scheme, the cross section of the first segment is circular, and the diameter Φ of the cross section of the first segment is greater than 1 mm and smaller than 5 mm. If the diameter Φ of the cross section of the first segment is smaller than 1 mm, the ball cannot bounce, and if it is greater than 5 mm, the ball will be pushed away.

[0012] In the preferred scheme, the first segment is located on the plane of the main frame.

[0013] In another scheme, the first segment is not located on the plane of the main frame, and the first segment is deviated to one side of the opening of the receiving pocket.

[0014] In the preferred scheme, the main frame includes a third segment that is arcuately curved, and a fourth segment that forms a closed frame with the third segment. The arcuately curved third segment can form different gaps with the first segment, thereby adapting to the recycling of balls of different sizes, for example, if small balls are recycled, the part of the first segment where the small gap is located is aligned with the small balls, and if large balls are recycled, the part of the first segment where the large gap is located is aligned with the large balls.

[0015] In another solution, the third segment is parallel to the first segment, which is used to recover the fixed-diameter spheres.

[0016] In a preferred solution, the fourth segment comprises an arc segment.

[0017] In another solution, the fourth segment comprises at least two straight rod segments, and the entire main frame can be triangular, rectangular, or other polygonal.

[0018] In all solutions, the main frame is provided with a handle, and the storage pocket can be detachably connected to the main frame by means of a magic tape.

[0019] In summary, compared with the prior art, the utility model sets a first segment between the main frame for fixing the storage pocket and the sphere to be recovered. Through it, the following significant progress is achieved: 1. Avoiding the ground wearing the opening edge of the storage pocket when the frame shovel is towards the ground, causing the storage pocket to fall off; 2. When the ball recovery device shovel is towards the sphere, the first segment can act on the lower part of the sphere, making the sphere bounce, cooperating with the pushing action, so as to fall into the deep part of the storage pocket.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The attached figures are labeled as follows: first segment 1, second segment 2, main frame 3, third segment 31, fourth segment 32, arc segment 321, straight rod segment 322, storage pocket 4, handle 5, and ball 6. Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the ball recycler includes a receiving pocket 4 for holding a ball 6 and a main frame 3 for opening the receiving pocket 4. It also includes a first section 1 located on the outer edge of the receiving pocket 4 for scooping the ball 6 downwards. A second section 2 connects the first section 1 and the main frame 3. The functions of the first section 1 are: 1. To prevent the ground from abrading the opening edge of the receiving pocket 4 when the frame scoops towards the ground, thus preventing the receiving pocket 4 from falling off; 2. When the ball recycler scoops towards the ball 6, the first section 1 acts beneath the ball 6, causing the ball 6 to bounce and, in conjunction with the pushing action, fall deep into the receiving pocket 4. Without the first section 1, when the ball recycler scoops towards the ball 6, the soft fabric at the opening edge of the receiving pocket 4 would gently push the ball 6 away, and even if the ball 6 falls into the receiving pocket 4, it would only gather at the entrance edge of the receiving pocket 4.

[0033] In the embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the distance L between the first segment 1 and the main frame 3 is less than the diameter of the sphere 6, which can prevent the sphere 6 from being stuck in the gap between the first segment 1 and the main frame 3.

[0034] In the embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cross-section of the first segment 1 is circular, and the diameter Φ of the first segment 1 is greater than 1 mm and less than 5 mm. If the diameter Φ of the cross-section of the first segment 1 is less than 1 mm, the sphere 6 cannot bounce; if it is greater than 5 mm, the sphere 6 will be pushed away.

[0035] In the embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first segment 1 is located on the plane where the main frame 3 is located.

[0036] In this embodiment, the main frame 3 includes a third segment 31 and a fourth segment 32 that forms a closed frame with the third segment 31. The third segment 31 is parallel to the first segment 1. Example 2

[0037] The structure of Embodiment 2 is similar to that of Embodiment 1, except that the shape of the first segment 1 is as follows: Figure 7As shown, the first segment 1 is a curved steel sheet, the curved direction of which is opposite to the direction of the ball collector shovel towards the ground, and the maximum diameter H of the first segment 1 is greater than 1 mm and less than 5 mm. When the ball collector shovel is towards the ball 6, the first segment 1 as a curved steel sheet can generate friction with the ground, so that the first segment 1 generates elastic jumping, and such shaking can be transmitted to the ball 6 to drive the ball 6 to jump with a larger amplitude. If the maximum diameter H of the first segment 1 is less than 1 mm, the ball 6 cannot jump, and if the maximum diameter H of the first segment 1 is greater than 5 mm, the ball 6 will be pushed away. Embodiment Three

[0038] The structure of embodiment three is similar to that of embodiment one, except that the first segment 1 is not in the plane of the main frame 3, and the first segment 1 is biased towards the side of the receiving pocket 4 opening, as shown in Figure 6 , that is, the second segment 2 is provided with a folding angle α compared with the main frame 3, and the opening of the folding angle α is away from the ground when it is towards the ground. Embodiment Four

[0039] The structure of embodiment four is similar to that of embodiment one, except that the main frame 3 includes an arc-shaped third segment 31, and a fourth segment 32 surrounding the third segment 31 to form a closed frame, as shown in Figure 7 . The arc-shaped third segment 31 can form different gaps with the first segment 1, so as to adapt to the recovery of balls of different sizes, for example, if small balls are recovered, the part of the first segment 1 with a small gap is aligned with the small balls, and if large balls are recovered, the part of the first segment 1 with a large gap is aligned with the large balls.

[0040] In the embodiment, the fourth segment 32 includes an arc-shaped segment 321.

[0041] Embodiment Five, as shown in Figure 8 , the difference from embodiment one is that the fourth segment 32 includes two straight rod segments 322, and the entire main frame 3 is a triangle.

[0042] Embodiment Six, as shown in Figure 9 , the difference from embodiment one is that the fourth segment 32 includes three straight rod segments 322, and the entire main frame 3 is a quadrilateral.

[0043] In all schemes, the main frame 3 is provided with a handle 5, and the receiving pocket 4 is preferentially detachably connected to the main frame 3 by using magic tape, or other fixing methods can be used. The first segment 1, the second segment 2, the main frame 3, the third segment 31 and the fourth segment 32 are only used as part division, and in actual production, metal wires are preferentially used for integral bending or welding.

[0044] The best embodiment of the utility model has been illustrated, each embodiment can be combined and changed mutually, various changes or modifications made by the person skilled in the art will not deviate from the range of the application.
