Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball-serving machine technology, and in particular to a multifunctional peak ball-serving machine. Background Technology

[0002] A peak ball serving machine is a device used to train and improve peak ball technique. It can simulate serves with different speeds, spins, landing points, and angles, helping players practice hitting, movement, and tactics. Currently, existing peak ball serving machines generally consist of a main body containing a serving wheel and a serving track. A basket for holding peak balls is located on top of the main body. The peak balls are fed into the serving track and launched using the friction of the serving wheel.

[0003] However, when using these existing pickle serving machines, the surface of the launched balls easily gets dusty due to the repeated use of the pickles. This dust tends to accumulate inside the machine when the pickles are used again, so staff need to clean and maintain the pickle serving machines more frequently, which is inconvenient (if the daily training time is no less than 2 hours or the venue is dusty, it is usually cleaned and maintained once a day).

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a multifunctional peak ball launching machine to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multifunctional peak ball serving machine to solve the problem that existing peak ball serving machines require frequent cleaning and maintenance, which leads to inconvenience in use.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional peak ball serving machine includes a main body, a serving port located in the middle of one side of the main body, a serving wheel located inside the serving port, a cleaning section mounted on the top of the main body, a ball frame fixed on the cleaning section, and a ball conveying channel connected to the bottom of the ball frame and the top of the main body of the main body through the middle of the cleaning section. The ball conveying channel is an inclined channel for peak balls to pass through. A cleaning fan for exhausting dust is located on one side of the cleaning section and is connected to the middle of the ball conveying channel. A movable plate is mounted on the other side of the cleaning section, and a photovoltaic panel is mounted on the middle of the upper surface of the movable plate.

[0008] Optionally, the ball conveying channel has a horizontal "V" shape, and the cleaning fan is connected to the bend point in the middle of the ball conveying channel.

[0009] Optionally, multiple columns for intercepting pick balls are provided at the connection between the cleaning fan and the ball conveying channel.

[0010] Optionally, a power supply is installed in the cleaning unit, and the power supply is electrically connected to the cleaning fan and the photovoltaic panel.

[0011] Optionally, a mounting bracket is fixed to the top of the cleaning section on the side away from the ball conveying channel, and the lower end of the movable plate is movably mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0012] Optionally, a magnetic plate is fixed to the top of the upper surface of the movable plate, and the magnetic plate is used to magnetically engage with the outer wall of the ball frame.

[0013] Optionally, a movable frame that can move up and down is provided inside the upper port of the ball frame, and a net is installed between the movable frame and the inner wall of the ball frame.

[0014] Optionally, a vertical positioning plate is fixed at one bottom end of the movable frame, and a limiting slot for the positioning plate to be inserted is provided on the inner wall of the ball frame.

[0015] Optionally, a positioning pin is provided on the outer side of the ball frame corresponding to the position of the limiting slot, and the positioning pin is inserted into the limiting slot and engaged with the positioning plate to form a fixed position.

[0016] Optionally, two rollers are installed at one end of the bottom of the ball machine body, two positioning feet are installed at the other end, and two handles are installed on the top of the side of the ball machine body away from the ball outlet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the above solution, thanks to the cleaning section, the ball conveying channel can be used to transport the peaks in the ball frame to the main body of the ball serving machine for serving. The cleaning fan can then remove the dust from the surface of the peaks in the ball conveying channel and discharge it outside the cleaning section. This reduces the accumulation of dust in the core components of the ball serving machine and can reduce the cleaning frequency to some extent.

[0019] In the above solution, thanks to the cooperation of the ball frame, the movable frame, and the net, the volume of the ball frame can be expanded by raising the movable frame from the upper port of the ball frame, so as to meet the different training plans of users and make it flexible to use.

[0020] In summary, this device has a self-cleaning function and a volume expansion function, which can improve the user experience, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce long-term operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a multifunctional pickle serving machine, including a serving machine body 1. A serving port 101 is located in the middle of one side of the serving machine body 1, and a serving wheel 102 is disposed inside the serving port 101. Two rollers 103 are installed at one end of the bottom of the serving machine body 1, and two positioning feet 104 are installed at the other end. Two handles 105 are installed on the top of the side of the serving machine body 1 away from the serving port 101. Therefore, this device can be easily moved to a suitable location for use.

[0035] Cooperate Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, a cleaning section 2 is installed on the top of the ball-serving machine body 1. A ball frame 3 is fixed on the cleaning section 2, and a ball-transporting channel 201 is opened in the middle of the cleaning section 2, connecting the bottom of the ball frame 3 and the top of the ball-serving machine body 1. The ball-transporting channel 201 is an inclined channel for the puck to pass through. A cleaning fan 202 for exhausting dust is provided on one side of the cleaning section 2, and the cleaning fan 202 is connected to the middle of the ball-transporting channel 201. In this embodiment, the path of the ball-transporting channel 201 is a horizontal "V" shape. The cleaning fan 202 is connected to the bend point in the middle of the ball-transporting channel 201, and multiple columns for intercepting pucks are provided at the connection between the cleaning fan 202 and the ball-transporting channel 201 (in specific implementations, other intercepting components, such as a large-diameter net, can also be used).

[0036] Meanwhile, a movable plate 205 is installed on the other side of the cleaning section 2, and a photovoltaic panel 206 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the movable plate 205. Specifically, a power supply 203 is installed inside the cleaning section 2, and the power supply 203 is electrically connected to the cleaning fan 202 and the photovoltaic panel 206. A mounting bracket 204 is fixed to the top of the side of the cleaning section 2 away from the ball conveying channel 201, and the lower end of the movable plate 205 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 204, allowing the movable plate 205 to unfold on the outer side of the cleaning section 2 to facilitate photovoltaic conversion by the photovoltaic panel 206 and provide electrical compensation to the power supply 203. In addition to electrical compensation from the photovoltaic panel 206, the power supply 203 is also actively charged primarily through an additional charging cable.

[0037] In addition, a magnetic plate 207 is fixed to the top of the upper surface of the movable plate 205, which is used to magnetically engage with the outer wall of the spherical frame 3. Therefore, when the photovoltaic panel 206 is not needed for photovoltaic conversion, the movable plate 205 can be stored close to the inner wall of the spherical frame 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a movable frame 4 that can move up and down is provided inside the upper port of the ball frame 3, and a net bag 5 is installed between the movable frame 4 and the inner wall of the ball frame 3. A vertical positioning plate 401 is fixed to one bottom end of the movable frame 4, and a limiting slot 301 for the positioning plate 401 to be inserted is provided on the inner wall of the ball frame 3. A positioning pin 302 is provided on the outer side of the ball frame 3 at the position corresponding to the limiting slot 301, and the positioning pin 302 is inserted into the limiting slot 301 and engages with the positioning plate 401 to form a fixed position, so as to fix the raised movable frame 4 by means of the positioning pin 302.

[0039] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0040] This multi-functional peak ball machine can expand the volume of the ball frame 3 by raising the movable frame 4 from the upper port of the ball frame 3 during use, so as to meet the training plans of users at different levels and make it flexible in use.

[0041] Meanwhile, during use, when the ball conveying channel 201 is used to transport the peaks in the ball frame 3 to the ball serving machine body 1 for serving, the cleaning fan 202 removes the dust on the surface of the peaks in the ball conveying channel 201 and discharges it outside the cleaning section 2, thereby reducing the accumulation of dust in the core components inside the ball serving machine body 1 and reducing the cleaning frequency to a certain extent.

[0042] In summary, this device has a self-cleaning function and a volume expansion function, which can improve the user experience, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce long-term operating costs.
