Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of online cleaning technology for heat exchange equipment, specifically to an integrated rubber ball cleaning device with a bypass ball cleaner, and a condenser including the rubber ball cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Some heat exchange equipment (such as the condenser of a central air conditioning system) has multiple heat exchange tubes through which cooling water flows to exchange heat with the heat medium. After a period of operation, sludge, dissolved salts, etc., in the cooling water will deposit on the inner wall of the heat exchange tubes, leading to a decrease in heat exchange efficiency. To address this, a ball cleaning device is used in this field to clean the heat exchange tubes online. This ball cleaning device has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, as well as a ball launching and receiving mechanism connected to the inlet and outlet pipes. The ball launching and receiving mechanism is used to launch balls into the inlet pipe. The balls enter the heat exchange tubes with the incoming water. As the balls squeeze and scrub the inner wall of the heat exchange tubes, the deposits on the inner wall are removed. Subsequently, the balls leave the heat exchange tubes with the outlet water and are collected by the ball launching and receiving device at the outlet pipe. To facilitate recording and counting the number of balls, a ball-dispensing device can be installed on the ball cleaning device.

[0003] Existing ball cleaning devices with ball-counting devices have several problems. In some devices, the ball-counting device is installed on the ball-receiving or ball-launching tube. During ball collection / launching, the number of balls passing through the device is recorded. To reduce ball clogging, this approach requires multiple counting channels simultaneously, resulting in numerous pipes, complex installation, and a large device size and footprint, thus increasing manufacturing and installation costs. Furthermore, due to the high speed and large number of balls passing through instantaneously, even with multiple channels, the risk of ball clogging remains, and the high speed of the balls leads to low counting accuracy. Some devices use a volumetric / volume method to measure the height of the balls in a fixed container to estimate the number of balls. This method has poor counting accuracy and can only be used for rough estimation; it is unsuitable for the central air conditioning ball cleaning industry, where the number of balls is small and high counting accuracy is required. In some end-cap type rubber ball cleaning devices, the rubber ball counting sensor is installed on the ball receiving tube, but there is only one channel, which is very easy to get clogged. When the water volume is large, the rubber ball passes through quickly, resulting in inaccurate counting. If the water volume is small, the rubber ball cannot be retrieved, making the contradiction between ball receiving and counting irreconcilable.

[0004] To at least overcome the problems in the prior art, this utility model aims to provide an integrated rubber ball cleaning device with a bypass ball cleaner that has a simplified structure and stable operation, and to provide a condenser with improved performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an integrated ball cleaning device with a bypass ball applicator, comprising: a first ball storage chamber connected to a water outlet pipe via a ball receiving port and a water outlet; a second ball storage chamber; a third ball storage chamber connected to a water inlet pipe via a water intake port and a ball launching port; a launching valve located between the second and third ball storage chambers; a main valve located between the first and second ball storage chambers, which, when opened, allows balls to be transferred from the first ball storage chamber to the second ball storage chamber; a ball applicator located between the first and second ball storage chambers; and a ball applicator valve located between the ball applicator and the first ball storage chamber, or between the ball applicator and the second ball storage chamber, which, when opened, allows balls to be transferred from the second ball storage chamber to the first ball storage chamber via the ball applicator, or from the first ball storage chamber to the second ball storage chamber via the ball applicator, for counting the number of balls.

[0006] According to this scheme, the ball cleaning device is equipped with a bypass ball-counting channel independent of the ball receiving and serving system. When ball counting is required, the ball-counting valve and ball-counting device on this channel are opened, allowing the balls to be transferred between the first and second ball storage chambers via this bypass channel. This directly and smoothly completes the counting of the balls, avoiding the risk of ball blockage that is easily caused when ball-counting devices are installed on the ball receiving or serving tubes. The ball-counting bypass channel of this cleaning device can independently count balls without relying on the ball receiving or serving process of the equipment. It can achieve real-time tracking of the number of balls and the operating status of the equipment. Moreover, the water flow speed that drives the balls in the bypass ball-counting channel is moderate, which is suitable for the speed of ball counting. This avoids ball blockage throughout the equipment, and also avoids inaccurate counting caused by large water volume and excessively fast ball movement speed when ball counting is performed simultaneously during serving or receiving. It also avoids the situation where the water flow is slowed down to count, resulting in balls not being able to be served or retrieved. In addition, the ball-balling channel structure in this cleaning device is simplified, with only one bypass for installing the ball-balling valve and ball-balling device. It does not require designing multiple ball-balling channels to achieve ball-balling, making the equipment simple to install and occupying a small area, thereby reducing manufacturing and installation costs.

[0007] In some designs, the ball-serving valve has a preset position between a fully open position and a fully closed position; when the main valve is closed, the ball-serving valve is opened to the preset position, and the ball-pointing valve is opened, the rubber balls located in the second ball storage chamber enter the first ball storage chamber through the ball-pointing device, and the ball-pointing device counts the number of rubber balls.

[0008] According to this scheme, after opening the main valve to allow the rubber balls to fall into the second ball storage chamber, the main valve is closed. At this time, the ball-playing valve is opened, and the ball-launching valve is opened to the preset position. The rubber ball cleaning device enters the ball-playing state. When the ball-launching valve is in the preset position, because the pressure in the inlet pipe is higher than that in the outlet pipe, the water flows through the second ball storage chamber, carrying the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber through the bypass ball-playing channel into the first ball storage chamber. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-playing device on the bypass ball-playing channel, the ball-playing device counts the number of rubber balls passing through, thus realizing the function of rubber ball counting. After all the rubber balls have flowed into the first ball storage chamber, the ball-playing ends. At this time, the ball-launching valve and the ball-playing valve are closed, and the main valve is opened to return the rubber balls from the first ball storage chamber to the second ball storage chamber, entering the preparation state for the next ball-playing. This ball-playing process does not depend on the ball-launching or ball-retrieving process of the equipment, and can realize the real-time counting of the number of rubber balls, which is convenient for timely observation of the rubber ball retrieval rate and the overall operating status of the equipment. This solution utilizes only the opening of the ball-serving valve at a specific position to control the water flow that moves the ball in the penalty kick channel. No additional structures are needed to control the water flow during the penalty kick process, simplifying the equipment and reducing manufacturing and installation costs. Furthermore, by setting a preset position for the ball-serving valve, the water flow speed driving the ball can be controlled, ensuring the ball passes through the penalty kick generator at a moderate speed. This avoids ball clogging and inaccurate counting caused by excessively fast ball speed.

[0009] In some designs, the ball cleaning device also includes a water intake valve located between the second ball storage chamber and the water inlet pipe. When the main valve is closed, the ball launching valve is closed, the water intake valve is open, and the ball-pointing valve is open, the balls in the second ball storage chamber enter the first ball storage chamber through the ball-pointing device, and the ball-pointing device counts the number of balls.

[0010] According to this scheme, after opening the main valve to allow the rubber balls to fall into the second ball storage chamber, the main valve is closed, and the ball-launching valve is closed. At this time, the water intake valve and the ball-launching valve are opened, and the rubber ball cleaning device enters the ball-launching state. Water flows through the second ball storage chamber, carrying the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber through the bypass ball-launching channel into the first ball storage chamber. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-launching device on the bypass ball-launching channel, the ball-launching device counts the number of rubber balls passing through, thus realizing the rubber ball counting function. After all the rubber balls have flowed into the first ball storage chamber, the ball-launching ends. At this time, the water intake valve and the ball-launching valve are closed, and the main valve is opened to return the rubber balls from the first ball storage chamber to the second ball storage chamber, entering the preparation state for the next ball-launching. This ball-launching process does not depend on the ball-launching or ball-retrieving process of the equipment, and can realize the real-time counting of the number of rubber balls, which is convenient for timely observation of the rubber ball retrieval rate and the overall operating status of the equipment. By controlling the connection between the second ball storage chamber and the water inlet pipe through the water intake valve, water flow is introduced to move the ball in the penalty kick channel, allowing the ball to pass through the penalty kick machine at a moderate speed. This avoids ball blockage and inaccurate counting caused by excessive ball speed. Furthermore, by taking water through the water intake valve instead of opening the ball-serving valve, the risk of the ball being launched is avoided if the ball is opened too wide.

[0011] In some designs, the ball cleaning device also includes a water intake valve located between the second and third ball storage chambers. When the main valve is closed, the ball launching valve is closed, the water intake valve is open, and the ball-pointing valve is open, the balls in the second ball storage chamber enter the first ball storage chamber through the ball-pointing device, which counts the number of balls.

[0012] According to this scheme, after opening the main valve to allow the rubber balls to fall into the second ball storage chamber, the main valve is closed, and the ball-launching valve is closed. At this time, the water intake valve and the ball-launching valve are opened, and the rubber ball cleaning device enters the ball-launching state. Water flows through the second ball storage chamber, carrying the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber through the bypass ball-launching channel into the first ball storage chamber. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-launching device on the bypass ball-launching channel, the ball-launching device counts the number of rubber balls passing through, thus realizing the rubber ball counting function. After all the rubber balls have flowed into the first ball storage chamber, the ball-launching ends. At this time, the water intake valve and the ball-launching valve are closed, and the main valve is opened. The rubber balls fall from the first ball storage chamber into the second ball storage chamber, entering the preparation state for the next ball-launching. This ball-launching process does not depend on the ball-launching or ball-retrieving process of the equipment, and can realize the real-time counting of the number of rubber balls, which is convenient for timely observation of the rubber ball retrieval rate and the overall operating status of the equipment. By controlling the connection between the second and third ball storage chambers through the water intake valve, water flow is introduced to drive the ball through the ball-playing channel, allowing the ball to pass through the ball-playing device at a moderate speed. This avoids ball blockage and inaccurate counting caused by excessive ball movement speed. Furthermore, by taking water through the water intake valve instead of opening the ball-playing valve, the risk of the ball being launched is avoided if the ball-playing valve is opened too wide.

[0013] In some designs, the ball cleaning device also includes a drain valve located between the second ball storage chamber and the drain ditch. When the main valve is closed, the ball launching valve is closed, the drain valve is open, and the ball-pointing valve is open, the balls in the first ball storage chamber enter the second ball storage chamber through the ball-pointing device, which counts the number of balls.

[0014] According to this scheme, after the rubber balls are recovered to the first ball storage chamber, the main valve and the ball-launching valve remain closed. At this time, the ball-pointing valve is opened, and the drain valve is opened to drain the water. The rubber ball cleaning device enters the ball-pointing state. The water flows through the first ball storage chamber, carrying the rubber balls in the first storage chamber through the bypass ball-pointing channel into the second ball storage chamber. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-pointing device on the bypass ball-pointing channel, the ball-pointing device counts the number of rubber balls passing through, thus realizing the rubber ball counting function. After all the rubber balls have flowed into the second ball storage chamber, the drain valve and the ball-pointing valve are closed, ending the ball-pointing process. This ball-pointing process does not depend on the ball-launching or ball-retrieving process of the equipment, and can realize the real-time counting of the number of rubber balls, which is convenient for timely observation of the rubber ball recovery rate and the overall operating status of the equipment. By adding a drain valve between the second ball storage chamber and the drainage ditch, the water flow carries the rubber balls through the ball applicator at a moderate speed, achieving accurate ball counting and preventing ball blockage. The water flow carrying the rubber balls flows from the first ball storage chamber through the ball applicator into the second ball storage chamber, where they are intercepted by the filter screen and enter the pre-serve preparation state. This allows for synchronous ball application before serving, improving equipment operating efficiency. It also enables real-time statistics and monitoring of the number of rubber balls before serving, facilitating timely replenishment and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0015] In some designs, the ball cleaning device also includes a return water valve located between the second ball storage chamber and the outlet pipe. When the main valve is closed, the ball launching valve is closed, the return water valve is open, and the ball-pointing valve is open, the balls in the first ball storage chamber enter the second ball storage chamber through the ball-pointing device, which counts the number of balls.

[0016] According to this scheme, after the rubber balls are recovered to the first ball storage chamber, the main valve and the ball-launching valve remain closed. At this time, the ball-pointing valve and the return water valve are opened, and the rubber ball cleaning device enters the ball-pointing state. Water flows through the first ball storage chamber, carrying the rubber balls in the first storage chamber through the bypass ball-pointing channel into the second ball storage chamber. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-pointing device on the bypass ball-pointing channel, the ball-pointing device counts the number of rubber balls passing through, thus realizing the rubber ball counting function. After all the rubber balls have flowed into the second ball storage chamber, the ball-pointing valve and the return water valve are closed, ending the ball-pointing process. This ball-pointing process does not depend on the ball-launching or ball-retrieving process of the equipment, and can realize real-time counting of the number of rubber balls, which is convenient for timely observation of the rubber ball recovery rate and the overall operating status of the equipment. By installing a return water valve between the second ball storage chamber and the water outlet pipe, the water flow carries the rubber balls through the ball applicator at a moderate speed, achieving accurate ball counting and preventing ball clogging. The water flow carrying the rubber balls flows from the first ball storage chamber through the ball applicator into the second ball storage chamber, where they are intercepted by the filter screen and enter the pre-serve preparation state. This allows for synchronous ball application before serving, improving equipment operating efficiency. Furthermore, it enables real-time statistics and monitoring of the number of rubber balls before serving, facilitating timely replenishment and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0017] In some designs, the ball cleaning device has a dome-shaped end cap that is connected to both the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe, and the dome-shaped end cap is connected to the end of the condenser.

[0018] According to the scheme, the equipment structure is stable and reliable and easy to operate. By controlling the main valves and ball launching valves between the three ball storage chambers, it is possible to achieve synchronous ball receiving and launching, as well as independent real-time ball launching. While avoiding ball blockage, it is possible to monitor the ball circulation and equipment operation status in real time, ensuring stable system operation.

[0019] In some designs, the outlet pipe of the rubber ball cleaning device is connected to the outlet of the condenser, and the inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the condenser.

[0020] According to the scheme, the equipment has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The three ball storage chambers can achieve synchronous ball receiving and launching through the cooperation of the main valve and the ball launching valve, and can also achieve real-time ball launching. While avoiding ball blockage, the ball circulation and equipment operation status can be monitored in real time to ensure stable system operation.

[0021] In some designs, the second ball storage chamber of the ball cleaning device is located below the first ball storage chamber, and the third ball storage chamber is located below the second ball storage chamber. The first, second, and third ball storage chambers are arranged in a row and are on the same side of the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe.

[0022] According to the scheme, the three ball storage chambers are arranged in a row and on the same side of the outlet and inlet pipes, which makes the overall structure of the equipment more streamlined. The ball storage chambers can achieve synchronous ball receiving and launching through the cooperation of the main valve and the ball launching valve, and can also achieve online precise ball launching, which improves the operating efficiency and ease of operation of the equipment. In addition, the arrangement of the ball storage chambers eliminates the structure of inner and outer cylinders, which can avoid the inconvenience of operation caused by sludge deposition or system leakage, making the equipment operate more stably and reliably.

[0023] In a second aspect, a condenser is provided that includes the ball cleaning device described in any of the preceding claims.

[0024] According to this scheme, the condenser can achieve real-time online ball counting with high accuracy and simplified equipment. It also allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment of equipment status by recording the number of balls. The equipment has a long service life, high reliability, stable operation, and excellent overall performance. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise stated, the terminology used herein has its ordinary meaning in the art. The same or corresponding reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or corresponding parts.

[0036] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the ball cleaning device of this utility model. Referring to Figures 2, 3A, 4, and 5, the integrated ball cleaning device 1 with a bypass ball dispenser 60 includes: a first ball storage chamber 10 connected to a water outlet pipe 80; a second ball storage chamber 20; a third ball storage chamber 30 connected to a water inlet pipe 90; a ball-launching valve 50 located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber 30; and a main valve 40 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20. When the main valve 40 is open, balls are supplied from the first ball storage chamber 10... The ball storage chamber 10 is transferred to the second ball storage chamber 20; the ball applicator 60, located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20, counts the number of balls as they pass through; the ball applicator valve 70, located between the ball applicator 60 and the first ball storage chamber 10, or between the ball applicator 60 and the second ball storage chamber 20, when open, supplies balls from the second ball storage chamber 20 to the first ball storage chamber 10 via the ball applicator 60, or vice versa, for counting the number of balls. When ball applicator is needed, the ball applicator valve 70 is opened, and the control valve controlling the water flow through the ball applicator bypass is also opened, allowing the balls to be transferred with the water flow between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20 through the channel of the ball applicator bypass. The number of balls is recorded by the ball applicator 60, thus completing the ball applicator.

[0037] Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the ball cleaning device of this utility model in the state before ball application. In this state, the balls are concentrated in the second ball storage chamber 20 waiting for ball application. The main valve 40, the ball launching valve 50 and the ball application valve 70 are all closed. Other valves that may be used to control the water flow through the ball application bypass are also not opened. The first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20 are not connected, and the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber 30 are also not connected. The ball application system is not working.

[0038] Figures 3A and 3B show cross-sectional views of the ball cleaning device of this utility model in the point ball state; the difference between Figures 3A and 3B is that, in the embodiment of Figure 3A, water is introduced into the point ball bypass by opening the ball valve 50 to a preset position, while in the embodiment of Figure 3B, water is introduced into the point ball bypass by opening the water intake valve (not shown in the figure).

[0039] As shown in Figure 3A and Figure 6, in the technical solution of introducing water flow by opening the ball launching valve 50, the ball launching valve 50 has a preset position between a fully open position and a fully closed position. When a ball is needed, the ball launching valve 70 is opened, the main valve 40 is closed, and the ball launching valve 50 is opened to the preset position, so that the equipment enters the ball launching state. When the ball launching valve 50 is in this preset position, since the pressure of the inlet pipe 90 is higher than that of the outlet pipe 80, the water in the equipment will flow through the second ball storage chamber 20, and carry the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber 20 through the ball launching bypass to the first ball storage chamber 10. When the rubber balls pass through the ball launching device 60 on the ball launching bypass, the ball launching device 60 counts the number of rubber balls to achieve ball launching.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3B in conjunction with Figure 7, in the technical solution of introducing water flow by opening the water intake valve, the water intake valve (not shown in the figure) is installed on the water intake pipe 11 connecting the second ball storage chamber 20 and the water inlet pipe 90. The water intake valve controls the connection between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the water inlet pipe 90. When the water intake valve is open, water flow is introduced to drive the rubber balls to move in the ball-playing bypass. When ball-playing is required, the main valve 40 and the ball-launching valve 50 are closed, and the ball-playing valve 70 and the water intake valve are opened. The equipment enters the ball-playing state. The water in the water inlet pipe 90 enters the second ball storage chamber 20 through the water intake pipe 11, driving the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber 20 to flow to the first ball storage chamber 10 through the ball-playing bypass. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-playing device 60 on the ball-playing bypass, the ball-playing device 60 counts the number of rubber balls to achieve real-time ball-playing. In the technical solution of introducing water flow using a water intake valve, the water intake valve can also be installed between the second ball chamber 20 and the third ball chamber 30, for example, connected between the side walls of the second ball chamber 20 and the third ball chamber 30. The installation position of the water intake valve is different from that in the embodiment of Figure 3B, but it can solve the same technical problem as the embodiment of Figure 3B and achieve the same technical effect.

[0041] The above-illustrative technical solutions are merely specific embodiments, and this utility model is not limited thereto. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, water flow through the ball-ball bypass can also be introduced by installing a drain valve or a return valve. In the technical solution shown in Figure 8, the drain valve is located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the drainage ditch. When the rubber balls are recovered to the first ball storage chamber 10 and ball-ball needs to be applied, the main valve 40 and the ball-launching valve 50 are closed, and the drain valve and the ball-ball valve 70 are opened. At this time, the equipment enters the ball-ball state. Water from the equipment's outlet pipe 80 enters the first ball storage chamber 10 and carries the rubber balls in the first ball storage chamber 10 through the ball-ball bypass into the second ball storage chamber 20. When the rubber balls pass through the ball-ball device 60 on the ball-ball bypass, the ball-ball device 60 counts the number of rubber balls to achieve real-time ball-ball application. In the technical solution of installing the return water valve shown in Figure 9, the return water valve is installed between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the outlet pipe 80. When the rubber balls are recovered to the first ball storage chamber 10 and need to be applied, the main valve 40 and the ball launching valve 50 are closed, and the ball application valve 70 and the return water valve are opened. At this time, the equipment enters the ball application state. The water in the outlet pipe 80 of the equipment enters the first ball storage chamber 10 and carries the rubber balls in the first ball storage chamber 10 through the ball application bypass into the second ball storage chamber 20. When the rubber balls pass through the ball application device 60 on the ball application bypass, the ball application device 60 counts the number of rubber balls to achieve real-time ball application.

[0042] Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the ball cleaning device of this utility model in the end-of-ball-play state. This illustrated embodiment only covers the ball-playing scheme when the balls flow from the second ball storage chamber 20 to the first ball storage chamber 10, but the technical solution of this utility model is not limited to this. In this illustrated embodiment, the balls flow from the second ball storage chamber 20 into the first ball storage chamber 10 in the end-of-ball-play state. At this time, the ball-launching valve 50 and the ball-playing valve 70 are closed, and the valve controlling the bypass water flow of the ball-playing system is also closed. All the balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10, and the device is in the end-of-ball-play state.

[0043] Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the ball cleaning device of this utility model in the ball-playing preparation state. The illustrated embodiment only covers the ball-playing scheme when the balls flow from the second ball storage chamber 20 to the first ball storage chamber 10, but the technical solution of this utility model is not limited to this. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, after the ball-playing is completed, the balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10. At this time, the main valve 40 is opened, allowing the balls to enter the second ball storage chamber 20 from the first ball storage chamber 10 to prepare for the next ball-playing. At this time, the device is in the ball-playing preparation state. After all the balls have entered the second ball storage chamber 20, the main valve 40 is closed, allowing the device to return to the pre-ball-playing state shown in Figure 2, thereby realizing the ball-playing cycle.

[0044] The basic structure and working principle of each embodiment are described below with reference to the block diagram. The specific structure can be derived by referring to the structural variations shown in Figures 1 to 5 above. All these implementation methods are within the protection scope of this patent.

[0045] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a ball cleaning device that uses a ball-launching valve 50 to control the water flow. In this embodiment, the ball cleaning device includes a first ball storage chamber 10 connected to an outlet pipe 80; a second ball storage chamber 20; a third ball storage chamber (not shown) connected to an inlet pipe 90, which can be a chamber of various forms located between the ball-launching valve and the inlet pipe; a ball-launching valve 50 located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber, the ball-launching valve 50 having a preset position between a fully open position and a fully closed position; a main valve 40 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20, which, when open, supplies balls from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20; a ball-pointing device 60 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20, which counts the number of balls as they pass through; and a ball-pointing valve 70 located between the ball-pointing device 60 and the second ball storage chamber 20, which, when open, supplies balls from the second ball storage chamber 20 to the first ball storage chamber 10 via the ball-pointing device 60. Before the penalty kick, the rubber balls are concentrated in the second ball storage chamber 20, and all valves are closed. When a penalty kick is needed, the penalty kick valve 70 is opened, and the ball-launching valve 50 is opened to the preset position, putting the equipment into penalty kick mode. When the ball-launching valve 50 is in this preset position, because the pressure in the inlet pipe 90 is higher than that in the outlet pipe 80, water from the inlet pipe 90 flows into the second ball storage chamber 20, carrying the rubber balls in the second ball storage chamber 20 through the penalty kick bypass to the first ball storage chamber 10. When the rubber balls pass through the penalty kick device 60 on the penalty kick bypass, the penalty kick device 60 counts the number of rubber balls to complete the penalty kick. After all the rubber balls have entered the first ball storage chamber 10, the penalty kick valve 70 and the ball-launching valve 50 are closed. At this time, the rubber balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10, and the equipment is in the penalty kick end state. When a cyclic penalty kick is needed, the main valve 40 is opened, allowing the rubber balls to move from the first ball storage chamber 10 into the second ball storage chamber 20, preparing for the next penalty kick.

[0046] Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a ball cleaning device that uses a water intake valve to control the water flow. In this embodiment, the ball cleaning device includes a first ball storage chamber 10 connected to an outlet pipe 80; a second ball storage chamber 20; a third ball storage chamber 30 connected to an inlet pipe 90 (not shown in the figure, which can be a chamber of various forms located between the ball launching valve and the inlet pipe); a ball launching valve 50 located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber 30; a main valve 40 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20, which, when opened, allows the balls to be transferred from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20; and a ball launching valve 50 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the third ball storage chamber 30. The ball-applying device 60 between the two ball-applying chambers 20 counts the number of balls as they pass through. A ball-applying valve 70 is located between the ball-applying device 60 and the second ball-applying chamber 20. When open, it allows balls to be transferred from the second ball-applying chamber 20 to the first ball-applying chamber 10 via the ball-applying device 60. A water intake valve is located between the second ball-applying chamber 20 and the water inlet pipe 90. The water intake valve controls the connection between the second ball-applying chamber 20 and the water inlet pipe 90. When open, the water intake valve introduces water to move the balls in the ball-applying bypass (the water intake valve can also be installed between the second ball-applying chamber 20 and the third ball-applying chamber 30 to achieve the same technical effect; this structural scheme is not shown in this figure). Before the ball-applying test, the balls are concentrated in the second ball-applying chamber 20, and all valves are closed. When a penalty kick is needed, open the penalty kick valve 70 and the water intake valve to put the equipment into penalty kick mode. The opening of the water intake valve allows water to flow into the second ball storage chamber 20, carrying the rubber balls from the second ball storage chamber 20 through the penalty kick bypass to the first ball storage chamber 10. As the rubber balls pass through the penalty kick device 60 on the penalty kick bypass, the device counts the number of rubber balls to complete the penalty kick. After all the rubber balls have entered the first ball storage chamber 10, close the penalty kick valve 70 and the water intake valve. At this point, the rubber balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10, and the equipment is in the penalty kick completion state. When a cyclic penalty kick is needed, open the main valve 40 to allow the rubber balls to move from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20, preparing for the next penalty kick.

[0047] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of a ball cleaning device that uses a drain valve to control the water flow. In this embodiment, the ball cleaning device includes a first ball storage chamber 10 connected to an outlet pipe 80; a second ball storage chamber 20; a third ball storage chamber 30 (not shown in the figure) connected to an inlet pipe 90, which can be a chamber of various forms located between the ball launching valve and the inlet pipe; a ball launching valve 50 located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber 30; and a main valve 40 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20. When the ball is opened, the ball is transferred from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20. The ball-applying device 60, located between the first and second ball storage chambers 10 and 20, counts the number of balls as they pass through. The ball-applying valve 70, located between the ball-applying device 60 and the second ball storage chamber 20, transfers the ball from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20 via the ball-applying device 60 when open. A drain valve, located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and a drain ditch, introduces water flow that moves the balls in the ball-applying bypass when the drain valve is open. Before the ball-applying phase, the balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10, and all valves are closed. When a penalty kick is needed, open the penalty kick valve 70 and the drain valve to put the equipment into penalty kick mode. The opening of the drain valve allows water from the equipment to enter the first ball storage chamber 10 through the outlet pipe 80, carrying the balls from the first ball storage chamber 10 through the penalty kick bypass to the second ball storage chamber 20. As the balls pass through the penalty kick device 60 on the bypass, the device counts the number of balls to complete the penalty kick. After all the balls have entered the second ball storage chamber 20, close the penalty kick valve 70 and the drain valve to end the penalty kick. At this point, the balls are intercepted by the filter screen in the second ball storage chamber 20 and enter the pre-serve preparation state, thus achieving synchronous penalty kicks before serving and improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0048] Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of a ball cleaning device that uses a return water valve to control the water flow. In this embodiment, the ball cleaning device includes a first ball storage chamber 10 connected to an outlet pipe 80; a second ball storage chamber 20; a third ball storage chamber 30 (not shown in the figure) connected to an inlet pipe 90, which can be a chamber of various forms located between the ball launching valve and the inlet pipe; a ball launching valve 50 located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the third ball storage chamber 30; and a main valve 40 located between the first ball storage chamber 10 and the second ball storage chamber 20. When the system is opened, the ball supply is transferred from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20. The ball applicator 60, located between the first and second ball storage chambers 10 and 20, counts the number of balls as they pass through. The ball applicator valve 70, located between the ball applicator 60 and the second ball storage chamber 20, transfers the ball supply from the first ball storage chamber 10 to the second ball storage chamber 20 via the ball applicator 60 when opened. A return water valve, located between the second ball storage chamber 20 and the outlet pipe 80, introduces water flow that moves the balls in the ball applicator bypass when the return water valve is open. Before the ball applicator is opened, the balls are concentrated in the first ball storage chamber 10, and all valves are closed. When a penalty kick is needed, open the penalty kick valve 70 and the return water valve to put the equipment into penalty kick mode. The opening of the return water valve allows water from the equipment to enter the first ball storage chamber 10 through the outlet pipe 80, carrying the balls from the first ball storage chamber 10 through the penalty kick bypass to the second ball storage chamber 20. As the balls pass through the penalty kick device 60 on the penalty kick bypass, the device counts the number of balls to complete the penalty kick. After all the balls have entered the second ball storage chamber 20, close the penalty kick valve 70 and the return water valve to end the penalty kick. At this point, the balls are intercepted by the filter screen in the second ball storage chamber 20 and enter the pre-serve preparation state, thus achieving synchronous penalty kicks before serving and improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0049] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 5, the ball cleaning device has a dome-shaped end cap that is connected to both the outlet pipe 80 and the inlet pipe 90, and is connected to the end of the condenser. This type of ball cleaning device is called an "end cap type". Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the second ball storage chamber 20 is located below the first ball storage chamber 10, and the third ball storage chamber 30 is located below the second ball storage chamber 20. The first, second, and third ball storage chambers 10, 20, and 30 are arranged in a row and are on the same side of the outlet pipe 80 and the inlet pipe 90.
