[0022] This utility model proposes a ball-dispensing device 100.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the ball-dispensing device 100 includes: a ball-collecting device 1, a ball-dispensing device 2, and a connecting pipe 3; the ball-collecting device 1 has a ball-collecting port 11 for feeding balls in; the ball-dispensing device 2 is separately disposed from the ball-collecting device 1, and the ball-dispensing device 2 has an output port 21 for feeding balls out; the connecting pipe 3 has a ball-collecting end 31 and a ball-dispensing end 32, the ball-collecting end 31 is connected to the ball-collecting device 1, and the ball-dispensing end 32 is connected to the ball-dispensing device 2; the connecting pipe 3 is used to receive the balls input by the ball-collecting device 1 and to convey the balls to the ball-dispensing device 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the ball-dispensing device 100 is installed below the court surface. The court has holes for scoring and holes for dispensing. The ball-collecting device 1 is installed below the holes for scoring, with its ball-collecting opening 11 aligned with the holes for scoring, so that balls on the court can enter the ball-collecting device 1 through the holes for scoring and be collected and dispensed again. The ball-collecting device 1 is used to transport balls through the connecting pipe 3 to the ball-dispensing device 2. The ball-dispensing device 2 is installed corresponding to the holes for dispensing on the court. The ball-dispensing device 2 is used to receive balls transported from the connecting pipe 3 and dispense them from the holes for use by the players. When the ball-dispensing device 100 transports balls, the balls in the ball-collecting trough 12b enter the connecting pipe 3 sequentially from the ball-dispensing end 32 until the internal space of the connecting pipe 3 is filled with multiple balls. At this time, multiple balls are arranged along the extension direction of the connecting pipe 3 and fill the connecting pipe 3. Any two adjacent balls in the connecting pipe 3 abut against each other. Subsequently, the ball collecting device 1 continues to transport balls into the connecting pipe 3. At this time, whenever a ball enters the ball-collecting end 31 of the connecting pipe 3, the ball entering from the ball-collecting end 31 can push all the balls in the connecting pipe 3 toward the exit end, and push the balls near the exit end into the ball-dispensing device 2. By connecting the ball collecting device 1 and the ball-dispensing device 2 through the connecting pipe 3, the ball collecting device 1 and the ball-dispensing device 2, which originally needed to be set up as a whole, can be set up separately. This makes the relative position of the ball-collecting device and the ball-dispensing device 2 adjustable, and can better adapt to the actual situation of the field. Regardless of the height or horizontal direction, the position of the ball-collecting device and the ball-dispensing device 2 can be set in a suitable position on the field according to actual needs, thereby reducing the space requirements of the ball-dispensing setup and adapting to more types of fields.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model adopts a ball collecting device 1, a ball dispensing device 2, and a connecting pipe 3 in the ball dispensing device 100; the ball collecting device 1 has a ball collecting port 11 for ball input; the ball dispensing device 2 is separately arranged from the ball collecting device 1, and the ball dispensing device 2 has an output port 21 for ball output; the connecting pipe 3 has an input end 31 and an output end 32, the input end 31 is connected to the ball collecting device 1, and the output end 32 is connected to the ball dispensing device 2; the connecting pipe 3 is used to receive the ball input by the ball collecting device 1 and transport the ball to the ball dispensing device 2; so that the ball collecting device 1 and the ball dispensing device 2 of the ball dispensing device 100 can be set separately, and the user can set the ball collecting device 1 and the ball dispensing device 2 in preset positions as needed, and transport the ball between the ball collecting device 1 and the ball dispensing device 2 through the connecting pipe 3, thereby reducing the influence of the field on the ball dispensing device 2, reducing the space requirements of the ball dispensing device 100 on the field, and enabling the ball dispensing device 100 to adapt to more types of fields.

[0026] In one embodiment, the ball collecting device 1 includes a ball collecting box 12 and a driving assembly 13. The driving assembly 13 is installed in the ball collecting box 12, and a ball collecting port 11 is opened in the ball collecting box 12.

The ball collecting box 12 serves as the main structure for accommodating the ball. The ball collecting port 11 is opened at the top or side of the ball collecting box 12, and the first ball transport port 12a is opened at the side or bottom of the ball collecting box 12. The first ball transport port 12a is connected to the ball-collecting end 31 of the connecting pipe 3. The ball to be transported enters the interior of the ball collecting box 12 through the ball collecting port 11. The driving assembly 13 is provided inside the ball collecting box 12. The driving assembly 13 is used to transport the ball inside the ball collecting box 12 toward the first ball transport port 12a, thereby entering the connecting pipe 3 from the first ball transport port 12a.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the ball collecting box 12 has a mounting groove and a first partition 121 and a second partition 122 disposed in the mounting groove.

The first space is located on the side of the first partition 121 close to the first ball dribbling port 12a, and the ball collecting groove 12b is located on the side of the first partition 121 away from the first space. The second partition 122 is disposed in the first space and intersects with the first partition 121. The second partition 122 divides the first space into a ball-carrying channel 12c and a receiving groove 12d. The ball-carrying channel 12c is located on the side of the second partition 122 closest to the first ball-carrying opening 12a and communicates with the first ball-carrying opening 12a. The end of the ball-carrying channel 12c away from the first ball-carrying opening 12a communicates with the ball-collecting groove 12b. The receiving groove 12d is located on the side of the second partition 122 away from the ball-carrying channel 12c. The first partition 121 is used to confine the ball in the ball-collecting groove 12b to prevent the ball from rolling out of the ball-collecting groove 12b and becoming undriveable by the driving device. The second partition 122 is used to limit the ball in the ball-carrying channel 12c to prevent the ball from rolling into the receiving groove 12d during its movement along the transport channel and becoming unsustainable from being delivered from the first ball-carrying opening 12a.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 13 includes: a first power component 131 and a turntable 132; the first power component 131 is installed in the ball collection box 12 and has a first power shaft; the turntable 132 is drivenly connected to the first power shaft, and the turntable 132 is rotatably disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove and located below the first partition 121 and the second partition 122; a plurality of grooves 132a are formed on the outer periphery of the turntable 132, and the plurality of grooves 132a are spaced apart along the circumference of the turntable 132, and the grooves 132a are used to accommodate the ball and push the ball through the ball transport channel 12c to the connecting pipe 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first clearance groove is formed on the side of the first partition 121 near the bottom wall, and the turntable 132 passes through the first clearance groove and is accommodated in the ball collecting groove 12b. A second clearance groove is formed on the side of the second partition 122 near the bottom wall, and the turntable 132 passes through the second clearance groove and is accommodated in the ball dribbling channel 12c. A ball passage opening 121a is also formed on the side of the first partition 121 near the bottom wall for the ball to pass through. The ball passage opening 121a is formed at one end of the first clearance groove near the ball dribbling channel 12c and communicates with the ball dribbling channel 12c. The ball passage opening 121a is located in the rotation direction of the groove 132a. The inner wall of the groove 132a can push the ball located in the groove 132a through the ball passage opening 121a and into the ball dribbling channel 12c, thereby entering the connecting pipe 3 through the ball dribbling channel 12c.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the ball-dispensing device 2 includes a second mounting base 22 and a lifting assembly 23. The second mounting base 22 has a mounting cavity, a top wall 221, and a first side wall 222. An output port 21 is opened in the top wall 221 and communicates with the mounting cavity. A second ball-dispensing port is opened in the first side wall 222 and communicates with the mounting cavity. The ball-dispensing end 32 communicates with the second ball-dispensing port. The lifting assembly 23 is installed in the mounting cavity and is used to drive the ball delivered from the ball-dispensing end 32 to be output from the output port 21. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 23 is correspondingly arranged below the output port 21 and corresponding to the second ball-dispensing port. The ball delivered from the second ball-dispensing port can fall into the lifting assembly 23, and then be lifted by the lifting assembly 23 and extended from the output port 21 onto the court for use by the athletes.

[0032] See Figures 4 to 6In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 23 includes: a second power member 231, a slide rail 232, and a lifting cylinder 233. The second power member 231 is installed in the mounting cavity and has a second power shaft 2311, which extends along a first direction. The slide rail 232 extends along a second direction in the mounting cavity, and the second direction intersects with the first direction. The lifting cylinder 233 has a sliding seat 2331 and a cylinder 2332. The cylinder 2332 extends along the second direction and is located on the side of the sliding seat 2331 near the output port 21. The sliding seat 2331 is slidably installed on the slide rail 232. The end of the cylinder 2332 near the output port 21 is used to receive the ball output from the second ball handling port. In this embodiment, the first direction is the horizontal direction and the second direction is the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 233 has a power mechanism that can drive the lifting cylinder 233 to move along the slide rail 232. The ball output from the second ball delivery port can fall to the top of the slide rail 232. The lifting cylinder 233 is a hollow cylinder with an inner diameter smaller than the diameter of the ball, so that the top of the lifting cylinder 233 can stably receive the ball. When the lifting cylinder 233 slides along the slide rail 232, the lifting cylinder 233 can lift the ball at the top, thereby sending the ball out from the output port 21.

[0033] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 23 further includes a transmission belt 234, which is connected to the second power member 231 and the lifting cylinder 233. The second power member 231 drives the lifting cylinder 233 to rise and fall via the transmission belt 234. The inner wall of the mounting cavity has two rotating rollers 223 spaced apart along a second direction. The rotating rollers 223 extend along a first direction and are located between the lifting cylinder 233 and the second power shaft 2311. The transmission belt 234 surrounds the second power shaft 2311 and the two rotating rollers 223. The inner surface of the transmission belt 234 abuts against the second power shaft 2311 and the outer periphery of the two rotating rollers 223, so that the second power shaft 2311 can drive the transmission belt 234 to rotate under the action of friction, and the transmission belt 234 can drive the rotating rollers 223 to rotate under the action of friction, thereby allowing the transmission belt 234 to smoothly rotate back and forth around the second power shaft 2311 and the two rotating rollers 223. The transmission belt 234 has a first section located between two rotating rollers 223. A sliding seat 2331 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt, and the connection point between the sliding seat 2331 and the transmission belt 234 is located within this first section. To further improve transmission stability, the outer wall of the second power shaft 2311 has multiple protrusions, and the inner circumferential surface of the transmission belt 234 has multiple grooves that mate with the protrusions. These grooves are spaced apart along the circumference of the transmission belt 234 on its inner wall. The outer wall of the second power shaft 2311 has protrusions that mate with the groove 132a. During the rotation of the transmission belt 234 driven by the second power shaft 2311, the engagement of the protrusions and grooves increases the friction between the second power shaft 2311 and the transmission belt 234, ensuring synchronous rotation between the transmission belt 234 and the second power shaft 2311.

[0034] In one embodiment, the ball-dispensing device 2 further includes a guide cylinder 24, which is disposed on the side of the first sidewall 222 away from the connecting pipe 3. One end of the guide cylinder 24 is connected to the second ball-dispensing port, and the other end is inclined upwards. The lifting cylinder 233 is disposed corresponding to the end of the guide cylinder 24 away from the first sidewall 222. The guide cylinder 24 is used to guide the ball dispensed from the second ball-dispensing port. The guide cylinder 24 can guide the ball from the second ball-dispensing port to the top of the lifting cylinder 233, so that the ball falls accurately to the top of the cylinder body 2332 of the lifting cylinder 233.

[0035] In one embodiment, the lower side of the guide cylinder 24 has a first side plate 241, and the first side plate 241 has a guide groove 241a. The guide groove 241a extends along the extending direction of the guide cylinder 24, and the width of the guide groove 241a is smaller than the diameter of the ball. The first side plate 241 is located on the bottom side of the guide cylinder 24, and the guide groove 241a is formed on the first side plate 241 along the extending direction of the guide cylinder 24. When the ball enters the guide cylinder 24 from the second ball-carrying port, the guide groove 241a can receive the ball entering from the second ball-carrying port. During the process of the ball moving towards the lifting cylinder 233 inside the guide cylinder 24, it can slide along the extending direction of the guide groove 241a, so that the ball can move along a preset path and accurately fall into the top of the lifting cylinder 233 when it rolls out from the end of the guide cylinder 24.

[0036] In one embodiment, the connecting pipe 3 has a first pipe section 33 and a second pipe section 34 arranged laterally, with the end of the second pipe section 34 away from the first pipe section 33 inclined upwards. The upward inclination of the end of the second pipe section 34 away from the first pipe section 33 can buffer the pressure of the ball inside the connecting pipe 3, and prevent the connecting pipe 3 from tilting downwards when the height of the ball collecting device 1 is higher than the height of the ball discharging device 2, which would cause excessive ball pressure at the ball discharging end 32, resulting in multiple balls being sent out at once by the second ball discharging port.

[0037] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
