Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elasticity testing technology, and in particular to an automatic elasticity testing device that is easy to load. Background Technology

[0002] Pinball, as a traditional game, offers fun and relaxation. Whether it's a pinball machine in an arcade game or a pinball table in a tabletop game, it can attract players to get involved and enjoy the fun of hitting the pinball.

[0003] In the production of pinballs, it is necessary to ensure the elasticity of the pinballs. Therefore, elasticity testing equipment is used to test the elasticity of the pinballs. Currently, the elasticity of pinballs is mostly assessed by dropping the pinballs from a certain height and evaluating the height at which the pinballs bounce. However, the bounce speed of the pinballs is too fast, making it difficult to observe directly. In addition, manual feeding is inconvenient each time, and precise control of the falling height is required, which leaves room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a circular shell, a motor is fixed to the outer wall of the circular shell, a push wheel located inside the circular shell is fixed to the output shaft of the motor, a hole is opened on the outer wall of the circular shell for the output shaft to pass through, a number of ball grooves are opened at equal intervals on the outer wall of the push wheel, a throwing tube is fixedly connected to the top of the circular shell, and a discharge port of a corresponding transparent tube is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular shell.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the circular shell is provided with an internal thread, and a threaded plug is connected to the internal thread of the circular shell. The circular shell in this solution is equipped with a threaded plug, which is threadedly connected to the circular shell. The threaded plug can be disassembled to inspect and clean the inside of the push wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the transparent tube is provided with a movable sleeve, and the ball is removed from the gap between the transparent tube and the support platform by sliding the movable sleeve upward.

[0009] Preferably, the bracket includes a mounting rod fixed to the top of the base plate, a mounting plate fixed to the top of the mounting rod, a fixing clip fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate, and the transparent tube fixed inside the fixing clip.

[0011] Preferably, the circular shell is fixed to the top of the mounting plate.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, a base plate, mounting plate, fixing clamp, transparent tube, pressure sensor, and feeding mechanism are used. The bouncing ball falls from the outlet. The pressure value A1 is recorded when the ball first falls and contacts the support platform, and the pressure value A2 is recorded when it falls and contacts the support platform a second time. The difference between A1 and A2 is A3, which is used to evaluate the elasticity performance. The smaller A3 is, the greater the elasticity. After each test, the movable sleeve slides up and the bouncing ball is removed from the gap between the transparent tube and the support platform. This solution effectively solves the problems raised in the background technology. By evaluating the elasticity through two gravity differences, it is easier to capture the ball than by observing the height of the bounce, and it can store more bouncing balls. The ball is dropped sequentially by a motor-driven push wheel for testing, which facilitates feeding and discharging.
