Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tennis ball processing technology, and in particular to an automatic tennis ball felting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Tennis is a ball sport originating in France in the 12th and 13th centuries. Characterized by rectangular courts and net play, it combines competitiveness, entertainment, and fitness. Currently managed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the four Grand Slam tournaments represent its highest level of professional competition. The tennis ball's core is its internal part, typically made of rubber. This rubber undergoes special processing to form a spherical shape and then is dried. This process allows control over the core's hardness and elasticity to meet the needs of different players. Tennis felting equipment is an automated machine used to wrap felt around the inner bladder of the tennis ball, primarily for producing tennis balls that meet international tournament standards. Its core function is to evenly adhere the felt to the surface of the rubber bladder and ensure a strong bond through heating and pressure.

[0003] Most automatic tennis ball felting equipment on the market is quite large. When felting tennis balls, multiple sets of robotic arms are usually used to position and fix the tennis balls. This method of fixing with multiple sets of robotic arms is costly and not suitable for some small processing plants. Therefore, there is a need for an automatic tennis ball felting equipment to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content

The side wall of the slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting block.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic tennis ball felting device of this utility model, a turntable body is rotatably mounted inside the welding plate via bearings, and a connecting plate body is mounted at one end of the turntable body. A crossbar body is mounted at one end of the connecting plate body, and a first positioning plate is mounted at one end of the crossbar body. A second positioning plate is hinged to both ends of the first positioning plate. Negative pressure holes are opened on the side walls of the first and second positioning plates. A negative pressure machine body is mounted on the side walls of the first and second positioning plates. A first gear body is mounted on the outer wall of the turntable body.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic tennis ball wrapping device of this utility model, the second positioning plate has a guide rail on its side wall, and a guide block is provided inside the guide rail. A touch switch is installed on the side wall of the second positioning plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic tennis ball wrapping device of this utility model, the outer wall of the crossbar body is hinged to a second hydraulic cylinder body, and one end of the second hydraulic cylinder body is hinged to the side wall of the guide block.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic tennis ball felting device of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the welding plate.

[0015] The automatic tennis ball wrapping device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention firstly designs a blower mechanism, and by activating the blower mechanism, it drives air through the negative pressure adsorption nozzle body and the air inlet pipe body to discharge, thereby creating a negative pressure at the outlet of the negative pressure adsorption nozzle body, which then adsorbs and fixes the tennis ball.

[0017] This invention firstly utilizes the design of a negative pressure machine body. By activating the negative pressure machine body, a negative pressure is created between the first and second positioning plates to adsorb and fix the felt. Simultaneously, through the design of two sets of welded plates, and the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slider, the activation of the first hydraulic cylinder body drives the mounting block to slide inside the rectangular groove, thereby causing the two sets of welded plates to slide simultaneously. This causes the two sets of welded plates to drive the crossbar body to slide, which in turn drives the first positioning plate to slide, thus wrapping the tennis ball with felt. At the same time, when the second positioning plate is wrapping the tennis ball with felt, a touch switch is activated to briefly start and stop the blower mechanism, facilitating the unloading of the felted tennis ball.

[0028] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automatic tennis ball felting device. Most automatic tennis ball felting devices on the market are quite large, and when felting tennis balls, they are usually positioned and fixed using multiple sets of robotic arms.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a turntable body 501 is rotatably mounted inside the welding plate 5 via bearings. A connecting plate body 502 is mounted at one end of the turntable body 501, a crossbar body 504 is mounted at one end of the connecting plate body 502, and a first positioning plate 505 is mounted at one end of the crossbar body 504. A second positioning plate 506 is hinged to both ends of the first positioning plate 505. Negative pressure holes 5051 are provided on the sidewalls of both the first positioning plate 505 and the second positioning plate 506.

[0034] The specific working principle is as follows: First, through the design of the negative pressure machine body 507, the first positioning plate 505 and the second positioning plate 506 are created by activating the negative pressure machine body 507 to form a negative pressure, thereby adsorbing and fixing the felt. At the same time, through the design of the two sets of welding plates 5, and through the cooperation of the sliding groove 404 and the slider 405, the first hydraulic cylinder body 403 is activated to drive the mounting block 402 to slide inside the rectangular groove 401, thereby driving the two sets of welding plates 5 to slide simultaneously. This causes the two sets of welding plates 5 to drive the crossbar body 504 to slide. The first positioning plate 505 slides to wrap the tennis ball with felt. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder body 508 is activated to drive the guide block 5062 to slide inside the guide rail 5061 and drive the second positioning plate 506 to rotate. The second positioning plate 506 rotates to wrap the felt. When the second positioning plate 506 wraps the tennis ball, it contacts the tennis ball through the touch switch 5063, which briefly starts and stops the blower mechanism 3 to facilitate the unloading of the wrapped tennis ball.
