Description

Tennis training hall ball storage tank Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tennis ball collection technology, and in particular relates to a ball collection trough for tennis training halls. Background Technology

[0002] The number of tennis players in China is growing and increasing, and some of them go to tennis training centers to use tennis ball machines to improve their tennis skills. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball collection trough for tennis training halls, which can collect the hit balls by setting up the ball collection trough.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model is a ball receiving trough for a tennis training hall, including a ball receiving ramp and a back plate. The ball receiving ramp has an inclined plate, and there are two support plates of different heights on both sides of the inclined plate.

[0006] The back panel has side panels at both ends and a notch in the middle. The curtain is erected above the back panel, and the ball-retracting ramp is placed below the curtain and close to the back panel. The notch is near a support plate with a shorter height.

[0007] Furthermore, the belt conveyor is positioned between the ball-receiving ramp and the back plate.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two belt conveyors, located on either side of the gap, with the conveying direction of the belt conveyors facing the gap.

[0009] Another type of tennis training hall ball storage tank:

[0010] The ball-retrieving ramp and back panel consist of a ramp with two support plates of different heights on either side; the back panel has side panels at both ends and a notch in the middle; the curtain is erected above the back panel, and the ball-retrieving ramp is placed below the curtain and against the back panel, with the notch close to the support plate of lower height.

[0011] There are two ball-receiving ramps, located on either side of the gap.

[0012] Furthermore, the belt conveyor is located between the two ball-receiving ramps, and the belt conveyor passes through the gap.

[0013] Furthermore, a curtain is installed on the frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the curtain has a launch port.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This utility model features a ball-collecting ramp with an inclined plate, creating a drop that allows tennis balls falling onto the ramp to automatically flow towards the gap, improving the efficiency of the tennis balls entering the gap. A belt conveyor is installed between the ramp and the back plate, forming a configuration that is high at both ends and low in the middle, allowing tennis balls falling onto the ramp to flow smoothly to the gap. With the dual belt conveyor configuration, the belt conveyor can be set to a corresponding length according to the width of the ball-collecting trough, so there is no limitation on the width of the court fairway; different widths can use belt conveyors of different lengths.

[0017] If the double ball-collecting ramp needs to be lengthened, adjust the height of the supports at both ends of the ramp to ensure the slope of the ramp, thus ensuring that the ball can slide down normally.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model is a ball receiving trough for a tennis training hall. The ball feeder 3 is installed behind the curtain 1 with the launching port. After the athlete hits the ball, the ball slides down the curtain 1 into the ball receiving trough 2 placed below the curtain 1. After being received by the ball feeder 4, the ball feeder 4 transports the ball to the ball feeder 3.

[0032] Specifically, the frame 6 is equipped with a curtain 1, which has a ball-launching hole. The ball-launching port of the ball-launching device 3 faces the ball-launching hole. The frame 6 is mounted on the back plate 202.

[0033] The ball-receiving ramp 201 has an inclined plate 206, and two support plates of different heights are provided on both sides of the inclined plate 206; the back plate 202 has side plates 205 at both ends, and the ball-receiving ramp 201 is located in the converging space formed by the back plate 202 and the two side plates 205. The notch 204 is close to the support plate with the smaller height, and the back plate 202 has a notch 204 in the middle.

[0034] In addition, to improve the efficiency of the tennis ball entering the gap 204, a belt conveyor 203 is installed between the ball receiving ramp 201 and the back plate 202, and the width of the belt conveyor 203 is greater than the diameter of the tennis ball.

[0035] Furthermore, the belt conveyor 203 actively transports the balls that fall onto the belt, allowing the tennis balls that fall into the ball collection trough to flow smoothly into the gap 204.

[0036] As shown in Figures 6-7, the tennis training hall ball receiving trough is a double ball receiving ramp 201 with a single belt conveyor 203.

[0037] The ball-retrieving ramp 201 has an inclined plate 206, and two support plates of different heights are provided on both sides of the inclined plate 206; the back plate 202 has side plates 205 at both ends, and a notch 204 in the middle of the back plate 202; the curtain 1 is erected above the back plate 202, the ball-retrieving ramp 201 is placed below the curtain 1 and close to the back plate 202, and the notch 204 is close to the support plate with the smaller height.

[0038] There are two ball-receiving ramps 201, which are located on both sides of the gap 204.

[0039] Furthermore, the belt conveyor 203 is located between the two ball-collecting ramps 201. The belt conveyor 203 passes through the gap 204. When the tennis ball falls down the ball-collecting ramp 201, it flows onto the belt conveyor 203 and then onto the ball-loading device 4.

[0040] Additionally, brackets can be installed at both ends of the inclined plate 206 on the ball-receiving ramp 201 to replace the support plate, ensuring that the inclined plate 206 has an inclination.

[0041] Belt conveyor 203 is a belt-type belt conveyor, consisting of a motor, profiles, and head and tail sections located at both ends of the profiles. The conveyor belt is simply wound around the head and tail sections.
