Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a golf ball tee machine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional golf practice, the manual process of retrieving and setting up balls is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also significantly reduces practice efficiency. Existing golf tee machines can handle this process, and they consist of a ball storage device and a ball delivery device. The storage device holds multiple golf balls, while the delivery device transports them to a designated location. The coordinated operation of these two devices effectively solves the drawbacks of manual operation. However, most existing golf tee machines employ complex drive mechanisms and electronic devices, resulting in high equipment costs and complex structures, primarily catering to adult professional training or high-end recreational needs. Currently, there are no golf tee machines specifically designed for children. If children use adult tee machines, it not only results in functional overload and resource waste but also in high operating costs, hindering the promotion and popularization of golf among children.

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0053] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0054] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0055] See Figures 1 to 10As shown in the illustration, this application provides a golf ball teeing machine, including: a main shell 1, a ball sleeve 2, a swing track 3, and a ball rack 4. A groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the main shell 1, extending along the height direction of the main shell 1. The ball sleeve 2 is fitted into the groove 11, and has a ball channel inside. The swing track 3 has a track component 31 and a limiting component 32 connecting to the track component 31. The track component 31 is rotatably connected to the main shell 1, and the limiting component 32 is connected to one end of the track component 31. The limiting component 32 and the track component 31 have an included angle. The limiting component 32 is located on the bottom opening side of the ball sleeve 2, and a ball drop hole 311 is provided at the end of the track component 31 away from the limiting component 32. The included angle means that the limiting component 32 and the track component 31 are not on the same straight line, and the larger surface of the limiting component 32 faces the bottom opening of the ball sleeve 2 to prevent the ball from falling from the bottom opening of the ball sleeve 2. The ball frame 4 is connected to the main shell 1, and a ball nail 41 is provided on the ball frame 4. The ball nail 41 is vertically connected to the ball frame 4, and the end of the ball nail 41 facing away from the ball frame 4 has a ball groove. Under no external force, the ball at the bottom of the ball sleeve 2 can fall into the limiting member 32. Under the action of external force, the swing track 3 can rotate to one side of the ball frame 4, so that the ball located on the limiting member 32 can move to the track member 31 and fall out of the ball drop hole 311, falling into the ball nail 41, and the limiting member 32 blocks the bottom opening of the ball sleeve 2. The ball falls into the ball groove. When the swing track 3 swings towards the groove 11, the limiting member 32 moves away from the bottom opening, and the ball at the bottom of the ball sleeve 2 can fall into the limiting member 32. When a child uses the golf ball tee machine of this application, multiple balls are first placed sequentially into the ball channel of the ball sleeve 2, with the ball at the bottom of the sleeve 2 falling onto the limiting member 32. Under external force, the swing track 3 is pressed or moved, causing it to rotate to one side of the ball rack 4. At this time, the ball at the lowest point of the sleeve 2 moves to the track member 31 and falls out through the ball drop hole 311, landing on the ball nail 41, completing the ball-spinning action. The limiting member 32 then blocks the bottom opening of the sleeve 2, preventing other balls from rolling out of the ball channel. After the external force is removed, the swing track 3 swings towards the groove 11, the limiting member 32 resets, and the ball at the bottom of the sleeve 2 falls into the limiting member 32. After the child swings and hits the ball on the ball nail 41, the swing track 3 is pressed again, moving the next ball onto the ball nail 41, achieving a cyclical ball-spinning process. The entire process requires no manual ball retrieval or placement. This golf tee machine eliminates complex drive mechanisms and electronic devices, adopting a purely physical structure design. Its simple structure and low cost make it ideal for children's training and play. Suitable for use in homes, kindergartens, children's activity centers, and other settings, it helps promote and popularize golf among children.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the golf ball tee machine includes a movable seat 5, a first elastic element (not shown), and a second elastic element (not shown). The movable seat 5 is connected to the main housing 1 via a first rotating shaft 8, and the track component 31 is connected to the movable seat 5 via a second rotating shaft 9. The limiting component 32 is connected to the track component 31 via the second rotating shaft 9, and a first limiting body 321 is provided on the limiting component 32. The first elastic element abuts against the movable seat 5 and the main housing 1 respectively. The second elastic element abuts against the track component 31 and the limiting component 32 respectively. When the angle between the track component 31 and the limiting component 32 is at its maximum, the first limiting body 321 abuts against the track component 31. The first elastic element can be a first torsion spring, which includes a first torsion cylinder and two first torsion walls disposed at both ends of the first torsion cylinder. The two first torsion walls abut against the movable seat 5 and the main housing 1 respectively. The second elastic element can be a second torsion spring, which includes a second torsion cylinder and two second torsion walls disposed at both ends of the second torsion cylinder. The two second torsion walls abut against the track component 31 and the limiting component 32, respectively. Under the action of external force, the track component 31 swings towards the ball frame 4, the deformation of the first elastic element increases, and the deformation of the second elastic element decreases. When the external force is removed, the first elastic element recovers its deformation, driving the movable seat 5 and the track component 31 to swing towards the groove 11 until the limiting component 32 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 11, and the track component 31 swings towards the groove 11 to the equilibrium position. In the equilibrium position, the angle between the track component 31 and the main shell 1 in the height direction is greater than 30°. The end of the limiting component 32 is provided with a first connecting ear 322, and the end of the track component 31 is provided with a second connecting ear 312. The second rotating shaft 9 passes through the first connecting ear 322, the second connecting ear 312, and the second torsion cylinder. The two second torsion walls abut against the track component 31 and the limiting component 32, respectively.

[0057] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the golf ball tee machine includes a fixed base 6, which is fixed to the main shell and located at the lower edge of the groove 11. A movable base 5 is connected to the fixed base 6 via a first rotating shaft 8. A second limiting body 51 is provided on the movable base 5. When the swing track 3 rotates to its limit position towards the ball rack 4, the second limiting body 51 on the movable base 5 is limited to the fixed base 6. The fixed base 6 can be an integral piece formed with the main shell, or it can be fixedly connected to the main shell by fasteners. A third connecting ear 61 is provided on the fixed base 6, and a fourth connecting ear 52 is provided on the movable base 5. The first rotating shaft 8 passes through the third connecting ear 61, the fourth connecting ear 52, and the first torsion cylinder. The two first torsion walls respectively abut against the movable base 5 and the main shell 1.

[0058] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a lug 313 is provided on one side of the track component 31, and the lug 313 extends along the width direction of the track component 31. The user can easily move the track component 31 by applying force with their foot to the lug 313. Applying force with the foot to the lug 313 does not affect the user's ability to use their hand to swing and hit the ball on the ball peg 41. One person can complete the entire action from teeing off to hitting the ball, reducing the need for manual labor and improving the training and playing experience of golf.

[0059] Under external force, the track component 31 can be embedded in the groove 11, the included angle between the track component 31 and the limiting component 32 decreases, and the deformation of the second elastic component increases. The track component 31 is embedded in the groove 11, which makes the golf ball tee machine of this application occupy less space and convenient for storage and carrying.

[0060] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, with the track component 31 embedded in the groove 11, the inner wall of the groove 11 and the track component 31 are pressed together to fix the track component 31. The main shell 1 and the track component 31 can be made of plastic, which has a certain degree of elasticity and is a low-cost material. The track component 31 has a bent edge 314 along its thickness direction. When the track component 31 is embedded in the groove 11, the bent edge 314 fits against the inner wall of the groove 11, and the track component 31 is fixed in the groove 11 by compression. Under the action of external force, the track component 31 can be pressed into the groove 11.

[0061] like Figure 9As shown, the ball sleeve 2 has multiple hollow portions 21 that connect to the ball channels. The hollow portions 21 make the ball sleeve 2 lightweight and easy to see the number of balls in the ball channels, allowing for quick insertion of balls when there are no balls in the channels.

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the ball sleeve 2 is provided with a connector 22, and the inner wall of the groove 11 is provided with a slot 111. When the ball sleeve 2 is embedded in the groove 11, the connector 22 is inserted into the slot 111. The connector method has a simple structure, facilitates assembly, and improves the assembly efficiency of the golf ball teeing machine of this application.

[0063] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ball rack 4 includes a crossbeam 42 and a support base 43. One end of the crossbeam 42 is detachably connected to the main housing 1, and the ball stud 41 is connected to the end of the crossbeam 42. The support base 43 is located between the ball stud 41 and the main housing 1. When the track component 31 swings to its limit position towards one side of the ball rack 4, the support base 43 supports the lower edge of the track component 31. The support base 43 restricts the track component 31 from swinging further towards one side of the ball rack 4, ensuring the safe range of the track component 31's swing and ensuring the safe use of the golf ball teeing machine of this application. The detachable plug-in structure of the ball rack 4 and the crossbeam 42 facilitates disassembly and assembly. When not in use, it can be disassembled to reduce volume and facilitate storage.

[0064] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the golf tee machine includes a hole component 7, which is detachably connected to the main housing 1. The hole component 7 has a hole hole 71 in its center and a guide ramp 72 on its surface. A convex shaft 12 is provided on the upper part of the main housing 1. When the golf tee machine is not in use, the convex shaft 12 can pass through the hole hole 71, allowing the hole component 7 to be easily hung on the convex shaft 12, greatly facilitating the carrying and storage of the tee machine. In use, the hole component 7 can be removed from the convex shaft 12 and placed on the ground, simulating the effect of a golf ball hole. The guide ramp 72 guides the ball; when the ball rolls onto the guide ramp 72, the guide ramp 72 guides the ball towards the hole hole 71 and into the hole hole 71.

[0065] The preferred embodiments disclosed above are merely illustrative of this application. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the application to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize this application. This application is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
