Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of basketball storage technology, and in particular relates to a basketball retrieval and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Basketball has a very high popularity and importance in education, especially in the development of physical fitness and teamwork skills among young people, where it plays an irreplaceable role.
[0003] After basketball training, basketballs are often scattered all over the court. Teachers or students need to bend over one by one to pick up the basketballs from different areas. This constant bending over is time-consuming and laborious, and may even cause problems such as lumbar muscle strain. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a basketball retrieval and storage device, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0005] A basketball retrieval and storage device includes a base frame, a storage bracket above the base frame, a conveyor belt inside the storage bracket, multiple lifting teeth on the outside of the conveyor belt, a partition on the rear side of the conveyor belt, an extension plate on the front side of the base frame, a front bracket for mounting a rotating cylinder above the extension plate, and a picker on the outside of the rotating cylinder.
[0006] The base frame has movable wheels at the bottom, and the movable wheels on both sides are connected by a rotating rod. A first rotating shaft is located at the center of the rotating cylinder, and one end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the rotating rod through a transmission belt. A gearbox is located on one side of the storage bracket. Inside the gearbox are meshing driven gears and driving gears. The driven gear is mounted on the rotating shaft in the conveyor belt, and the driving gear is mounted on a second rotating shaft on one side. The second rotating shaft is connected to the rotating rod through a transmission belt.
[0007] Furthermore, openings for conveyor belt installation are provided on the surface of the base frame, and through slots for lifting teeth to pass through are provided on both sides of the openings and at the top of the partition, so that the lifting teeth can move flexibly under the drive of the conveyor belt and will not be blocked by the base frame and partition.
[0008] Furthermore, a rotating door is provided on the rear side of the storage bracket, and a pin is provided at the lower end of the rotating door. The pin is inserted into the slot of the base frame to ensure that the rotating door is securely closed.
[0009] Furthermore, a push handle is provided above the base frame and behind the storage bracket to facilitate the movement of the device.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of the pick teeth is 2-4, and the outer end of the pick teeth is arc-shaped. Specifically, the gap between adjacent pick teeth should be larger than the diameter of the basketball to ensure that each basketball can be picked up smoothly.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This invention achieves automatic lifting, conveying, and storage of basketballs through a linkage mechanism of device movement; and through the lifting teeth outside the rotating cylinder and the lifting teeth outside the conveyor belt, it can efficiently lift basketballs from the ground and convey them one by one to the rear area of the storage rack for storage. The whole process does not require staff to bend over to pick up basketballs, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
[0013] This utility model, through the setting of the partition, can divide the storage bracket into front and rear areas, so that the basketball stored in the rear area will not affect the rotation of the conveyor belt in the front area; at the same time, through grooves are opened in both the partition and the base frame to allow the lifting teeth to pass through, ensuring that the lifting teeth are not obstructed during movement and guaranteeing the smooth transport of the basketball.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown.
[0022] A basketball retrieval and storage device includes a base frame 1 with casters below it. The casters on both sides are connected by a rotating rod 13. A storage bracket 2 is installed above the base frame 1. A conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the storage bracket 2. An opening for mounting the conveyor belt 3 is provided on the surface of the base frame 1. Multiple lifting teeth 31 are provided on the outer side of the conveyor belt 3. A partition 4 is provided on the rear side of the conveyor belt 3. The partition 4 divides the storage bracket 2 into front and rear areas. The front area is used for lifting basketballs, and the rear area is used for temporary storage of basketballs. The conveyor belt 3 delivers basketballs one by one from the front area to the rear area through the lifting teeth 31.
[0023] A rotating door 21 that opens upwards is provided on the rear side of the storage bracket 2. A pin is provided at the lower end of the rotating door 21. The pin is inserted into the slot of the base frame 1 to ensure that the rotating door 21 is securely closed. When you need to take out the basketball, simply pull out the pin and open the rotating door 21 to take out the basketball from the rear area of the storage bracket 2.
[0024] Through slots 12 are provided on both sides of the opening in the base frame 1 and at the top of the partition plate 4 for the lifting teeth 31 to pass through, so that the lifting teeth 31 can move flexibly under the drive of the conveyor belt 3 and will not be blocked by the base frame 1 and the partition plate 4.
[0025] An extension plate 11 that gradually slopes downward is provided on the front side of the base frame 1. A front bracket 6 for mounting the rotating cylinder 7 is provided above the extension plate 11. A picker 72 is provided on the outside of the rotating cylinder 7. The picker 72 rotates synchronously with the rotating cylinder 7. The basketball can be picked up from the extension plate 11 and sent into the front area of the storage bracket 2 by the picker 72.
[0026] To enable the rotation of the rotating drum 7 and the conveyor belt 3, a first rotating shaft 71 is provided at the center of the rotating drum 7. One end of the first rotating shaft 71 extends from one side of the front support 6 and is connected to the rotating rod 13 in the front moving wheel through the conveyor belt 3 to form a linkage mechanism.
[0027] A gearbox 8 is provided on one side of the storage bracket 2. A driven gear 33 and a driving gear 82 are provided in the gearbox 8. The driven gear 33 is mounted on the extended rotating shaft 32 for driving the conveyor belt 3 to rotate. The driving gear 82 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 81 that passes through the gearbox 8. The second rotating shaft 81 is connected to the rotating rod 13 in the front moving wheel through the transmission belt 9 to form a linkage mechanism.
[0028] Based on the above mechanism, by pushing the device to move, the rotation of the moving wheel simultaneously drives the rotating drum 7 and the conveyor belt 3 to operate in conjunction, thereby realizing the process of the picker 72 smoothly picking up the basketball and sending it into the front area of the storage bracket 2, and then the lifting tooth 31 sending the basketball to the rear area of the storage bracket 2 one by one for temporary storage.
[0029] In gearbox 8, driven gear 33 meshes with driving gear 82. Through the setting of gearbox 8, the operation of conveyor belt 3 can be adapted to the forward movement of the device. That is, when the moving wheel and rotating drum 7 move forward, they rotate counterclockwise, while the conveyor belt 3 rotates clockwise, ensuring that the basketball can be lifted up to the rear area of the storage bracket 2.
[0030] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
