Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball collector technology, specifically a ball collector. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of a ball collector is to gather and store balls for convenient access by users. It does not have an automatic launching function; rather, it serves as a convenient ball storage device, helping users quickly organize and store large numbers of balls. Ball collectors are suitable for scenarios requiring frequent ball retrieval and storage, such as ball training and competitions. In these situations, where the number of balls is large and rapid collection and distribution are necessary, the use of a ball collector can greatly improve efficiency and convenience.

[0003] The ball collectors currently on the market have the following problems when used:

[0004] 1. In traditional ball collectors, the ball collector usually has a guide plate inside, which allows the ball to roll into the ball collector or prevents the ball from popping out. However, when collecting basketballs, the ball collector often throws them in. After long-term use, the guide plate is prone to deformation or damage due to repeated impacts from the basketball. Furthermore, because the guide plate is not easy to disassemble and replace, the deformed or damaged guide plate becomes less effective in guiding the basketball into the ball collector and preventing the basketball from popping out.

[0005] 2. In most ball collectors, when collecting basketballs, because basketballs have a certain volume and weight, and the contact area between the brake rollers at the bottom of the ball collector and the ground is small, the friction is low. As a result, when collecting multiple basketballs, the basketballs thrown into the ball collector will gradually impact the ball collector and cause it to shift, increasing the distance between the ball collector and the user, which is very inconvenient for the user to collect basketballs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract, and the title, and such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0007] 1. Technical problems to be solved:

[0008] To address the issues mentioned above, such as the difficulty in replacing the internal guide plate of the ball collector after long-term use due to deformation under stress, and the tendency for the ball collector to shift due to the small contact area between the bottom brake roller and the ground, this utility model is proposed.

[0009] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ball collector that allows for easy disassembly and replacement of the guide plate when it is deformed or damaged due to repeated stress. Secondly, it effectively improves the stability of the ball collector, making it less likely for the ball collector to shift due to the impact force of the thrown basketball.

[0010] 2. Technical Solution:

[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0012] A ball collector includes a body, a slot on the inner wall of the body, a sliding hole inside the body, a guide plate inside the sliding hole, the guide plate being inserted into the slot, a screw hole on the surface of the body, a mounting block fixedly connected to the outside of the guide plate, a screw rod passing through the inside of the mounting block, the end of the screw rod being threaded into the screw hole, a knob at the top of the screw rod, and a handle mounted on the outside of the mounting block.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body. The fixing blocks are symmetrically distributed. An internal threaded ring is provided at the top of the fixing block. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the internal threaded ring. The threaded rod passes through the inside of the fixing block. A turntable is installed at the end of the threaded rod. A suction cup is provided at the bottom of the turntable. An adjustment knob is installed at the top of the threaded rod.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the top of the main body, and a handle is installed on the top of the fixed frame.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, the main body is connected to the ball-collecting gate via a rotating shaft, and the ball-collecting gate is provided with a handle on the outside.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body, and a push rod is installed on the outside of the connecting plate.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, the bottom of the main body is provided with a base frame, and a brake pad roller is installed on the bottom of the base.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the ball collector of this utility model, a groove is provided on the top of the guide plate, and a rubber pad is installed inside the groove.

[0019] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] When the guide plate inside the ball collector is deformed or damaged due to long-term stress, simply manually turn the knob to unscrew the screw rod out of the screw hole, then slowly pull the deformed or damaged guide plate out of the sliding hole, and take a new guide plate, pass it through the sliding hole and insert it into the slot for fixation. In this way, the guide plate can be easily disassembled and replaced, so that the guide plate can maintain its original function.

[0022] This type of ball collector, when collecting a large number of basketballs, allows the adjustment knob to be turned so that the threaded rod is screwed downwards inside the internal threaded ring until the suction cup firmly adheres to the ground. This greatly improves the stability of the ball collector, preventing the impact force of the basketball from causing the distance between the ball collector and the user to gradually increase, making it very convenient for users to collect basketballs.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This utility model provides an overall structural diagram of one embodiment of a ball collector, including:

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 A ball collector according to this embodiment includes a body 1. A slot 9 is formed on the inner wall of the body 1. A sliding hole 10 is formed inside the body 1. A guide plate 18 is provided inside the sliding hole 10 and inserted into the slot 9. A screw hole 11 is formed on the surface of the body 1. A mounting block 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the guide plate 18. A screw rod 14 passes through the mounting block 15. The end of the screw rod 14 is threaded into the screw hole 11. A knob 17 is provided at the top of the screw rod 14. A knob is mounted on the outside of the mounting block 15. By holding the lever 16, the screw rod 14 can be unscrewed from the screw hole 11 using the knob 17. Then, by holding the lever 16, the guide plate 18 can be pulled out from the slot 9. Since the sliding hole 10 is larger than the guide plate 18, the deformed or damaged guide plate 18 can be pulled out from the sliding hole 10. A new guide plate 18 can be inserted into the slot 9 through the sliding hole 10. Then, the knob 17 can be turned to thread the screw rod 14 into the screw hole 11. The guide plate 18 can be easily disassembled and replaced, so that the guide plate can maintain its original function.

[0037] It is worth noting that, in order to effectively improve the stability of the ball collector and make it less likely for the ball collector to shift due to the impact force of the thrown basketball, specifically, a fixing block 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body 1. The fixing blocks 24 are symmetrically distributed. The top of the fixing block 24 is provided with an internal threaded ring 19. The internal threaded ring 19 is internally threaded with a threaded rod 20. The threaded rod 20 passes through the inside of the fixing block 24. A turntable 21 is installed at the end of the threaded rod 20. A suction cup 22 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 21. An adjustment knob 23 is installed at the top of the threaded rod 20.

[0038] Next, to make it easier for staff to hold the handle 3 and move the ball collector, a fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1, and a handle 3 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 2. By holding the handle 3, the ball collector can be lifted, making it easier for staff to move the ball collector.

[0039] Meanwhile, to make it easier for users to retrieve basketballs from inside the ball collector, the main body 1 is connected to the ball retrieval gate 6 via a pivot. The ball retrieval gate 6 is equipped with a handle 7 on the outside. By gripping the handle 7, the ball retrieval gate 6 can be flipped open using the pivot, making it convenient for users to retrieve basketballs.

[0040] Furthermore, to facilitate the user in moving the ball collector, a connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body 1, and a push rod 5 is installed on the outside of the connecting plate 4. By pushing the push rod 5 and the connecting plate 4, the ball collector can be moved, which effectively promotes the movement of the ball collector.

[0041] It is worth noting that, in order to make it easier for users to move the ball collector, the main body 1 is equipped with a base frame 8 at the bottom, and a brake roller 25 is installed at the bottom of the base frame 8. The brake roller 25 makes it easier for staff to move the ball collector.

[0042] Finally, in order to make the basketball roll along the guide plate 18 into the ball collector or to prevent the ball from popping out, specifically, a groove 12 is provided on the top of the guide plate 18, and a rubber pad 13 is installed inside the groove 12. The rubber pad 13 can effectively reduce the impact force of the basketball on the guide plate.

[0043] Combination Figures 1-5 The ball collector of this embodiment is used in the following specific process:

[0044] 1: According to the actual use, firstly, a slot 9 is opened in the inner wall of the main body 1, and a sliding hole 10 is opened in the inside of the main body 1. A guide plate 18 is provided in the sliding hole 10. Then, the guide plate 18 is inserted into the slot 9. A screw hole 11 is opened on the surface of the main body 1. An installation block 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the guide plate 18, and a screw rod 14 passes through the inside of the installation block 15. Then, the end of the screw rod 14 is threaded into the inside of the screw hole 11. A knob 17 is provided at the top of the screw rod 14, and a handle 16 is installed on the outside of the installation block 15.

[0045] 2: When the ball collector collects basketballs, the edge of the inclined guide plate 18 is located at the central axis of the fixed frame 2, and is only half the width of the fixed frame 2. This allows the basketball to roll along the surface of the guide plate 18 into the ball collector. When the guide plate 18 is deformed or damaged due to long-term collection of basketballs, the knob 17 can be turned manually to unscrew the screw rod 14 out of the screw hole 11. Then, the handle 16 can be held and the guide plate 18 can be pulled out of the slot 9. Since the sliding hole 10 is larger than the size of the guide plate 18, the deformed or damaged guide plate 18 can be slowly pulled out of the sliding hole 10. Then, a new guide plate 18 can be taken, passed through the sliding hole 10, and inserted into the slot 9. The knob 17 can be turned to fix the screw rod 14 in the screw hole 11. In this way, when the guide plate 18 is deformed or damaged due to repeated stress after long-term use, the guide plate 18 can be easily disassembled and replaced. This allows the guide plate 18 to better maintain its function of guiding the basketball into the ball collector and preventing the basketball from popping out of the ball collector.

[0046] 3: Finally, a fixing block 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main body 1, and the fixing blocks 24 are symmetrically distributed. An internal threaded ring 19 is provided at the top of the fixing block 24, and a threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected inside the internal threaded ring 19. The threaded rod 20 then passes through the inside of the fixing block 24, and a turntable 21 is installed at the end of the threaded rod 20. A suction cup 22 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 21, and an adjustment knob 23 is installed at the top of the threaded rod 20. When the ball collector collects a lot of basketballs, the adjustment knob 23 can be turned to make the threaded rod 20 screw downward inside the internal threaded ring 19, so that the suction cup 22 gradually contacts the ground. Then, it can be turned a few more times until the suction cup 22 firmly adheres to the ground. This greatly increases the friction between the ball collector and the ground, effectively improving the stability of the ball collector. The impact force of the thrown basketball is less likely to cause the ball collector to shift, and the distance between the ball collector and the user will not gradually increase, making it very convenient for the user to collect basketballs.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way.
