Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical transmission technology, and in particular to a novel ball-loading mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Automated ball loading equipment can effectively improve the efficiency of sports training and reduce the burden of manual ball retrieval. Existing automated ball loading equipment typically uses a ball loading mechanism to transport the ball from the ball storage device to the ball launching device.
[0003] However, existing ball loading mechanisms have the following shortcomings: the ball is prone to jamming during transport, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, traditional ball loading mechanisms mostly use a single motor drive, resulting in slow ball loading speed, which is difficult to meet the needs of high-intensity training. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel ball loading mechanism, including a ball bucket fixing bracket, a ball bucket stainless steel hardware part on the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket, a ball bucket motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket, the output shaft of the ball bucket motor passing through the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket and fixedly connected to a ball bucket turntable, a cavity is formed between the ball bucket turntable and the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket and a ball cake is provided in the cavity, and a ball loading channel is fixedly connected to the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket and the ball loading channel is connected to the cavity.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a ball bucket reinforcing crossbar bracket is fixedly connected to the front end of the ball bucket fixing bracket.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket is equipped with multiple first bearings located inside the cavity, and the guiding effect of the multiple first bearings allows the ball to smoothly enter the upper ball channel.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the ball bucket fixing bracket is fixedly connected with spring fixing hardware and hardware fixing parts. The hardware fixing parts are provided with photoelectric rotating hardware that is rotatably connected to the ball bucket fixing bracket through a second bearing, and one end of the photoelectric rotating hardware is connected to the spring fixing hardware through a spring.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top of the rotating hardware of the photoelectric eye is provided with a pushing block extending into the cavity, and the pushing block further pushes the ball into the upper ball channel.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket is provided with a through groove for the movement of the pushing block.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) This utility model drives the ball bucket turntable to rotate by a ball bucket motor, and with the push block at the top of the photoelectric rotating hardware, it can quickly and continuously push the ball into the upper ball channel, which significantly improves the ball loading efficiency and meets the needs of high-intensity training. (2) This utility model sets multiple first bearings at the top of the ball bucket fixed bracket, and uses their guiding effect to make the ball smoothly enter the upper ball channel. At the same time, the precise pushing of the push block further reduces the phenomenon of ball jamming during the transportation process, effectively reduces the ball jamming rate, and ensures stable operation of the equipment.

Therefore, they may vary depending on their location and usage; thus, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0018] The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0019] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] This utility model provides the following: Figure 1-4 The novel ball loading mechanism shown includes a ball bucket fixing bracket 5, a ball bucket stainless steel hardware 3 on the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5, a ball bucket motor 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5, the output shaft of the ball bucket motor 11 passes through the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 and is fixedly connected to a ball bucket turntable 2, a cavity is formed between the ball bucket turntable 2 and the top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5, and a ball cake 13 is provided in the cavity, and a ball loading channel 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 and the ball loading channel 1 communicates with the cavity.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, the front end of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the ball bucket reinforcing crossbar bracket 4. By setting the ball bucket reinforcing crossbar bracket 4, the overall stability of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 is enhanced, making the entire ball loading mechanism more stable and reliable during operation.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 is equipped with multiple first bearings 6 located inside the cavity, and the guiding effect of the multiple first bearings 6 allows the ball cake 13 to smoothly enter the upper ball channel 1. By setting multiple first bearings 6, the frictional resistance of the ball cake 13 during the conveying process is reduced, so that the ball cake 13 can be pushed into the upper ball channel 1 more smoothly.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 is fixedly connected with a spring fixing hardware 9 and a hardware fixing component 7. The hardware fixing component 7 is provided with a photoelectric rotating hardware 12 that is rotatably connected to the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 through a second bearing 10. One end of the photoelectric rotating hardware 12 is connected to the spring fixing hardware 9 through a spring component 8. The top of the photoelectric rotating hardware 12 is provided with a pushing block 14 that extends into the cavity. The pushing block 14 further pushes the ball cake 13 into the ball loading channel 1. The top wall of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5 is provided with a through groove for the pushing block 14 to move. Through the cooperation of the spring component 8 and the spring fixing hardware 9, the photoelectric rotating hardware 12 has a certain elastic movement space, which can more flexibly adapt to different situations when pushing the ball cake 13, and further improve the ball loading efficiency.
[0024] Working Principle: In practical implementation, the ball bucket motor 11 starts, driving the ball bucket turntable 2 to rotate. The rotation of the ball bucket turntable 2 causes the balls 13 on it to be subjected to centrifugal force, and begin to disperse in all directions. At this time, because multiple first bearings 6 are installed on the top of the ball bucket fixing bracket 5, these first bearings 6 guide the balls 13, allowing the balls 13 to smoothly slide from the edge of the ball bucket turntable 2 to the bottom of the cavity and gradually approach the entrance of the upper ball channel 1. As the ball bucket turntable 2 continues to rotate, the balls 13 are continuously transported to the bottom of the cavity. At the same time, the photoelectric rotating hardware 12 maintains a certain elastic movement space under the cooperation of the spring 8 and the spring fixing hardware 9. When the balls 13 approach the entrance of the upper ball channel 1, the push block 14 at the top of the photoelectric rotating hardware 12 extends into the cavity in a timely manner, pushing the balls 13 into the upper ball channel 1. This achieves rapid ball loading.
[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
