Description

Golf course terrain simulation platform Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of golf driving range automation equipment, and in particular to a golf course terrain simulation platform. Background Art

[0002] Indoor golf, as an indoor entertainment game that simulates outdoor golf, usually requires an indoor golf course with simulators and high-tech equipment to simulate the scenes of a real golf course through indoor projection or virtual reality technology.

[0003] In outdoor golf, the slope of the terrain significantly impacts the game. It not only tests a player's skill level but also increases the difficulty and excitement of the game. Sloping terrain makes a course more challenging. Players need to adjust their swing and impact force to accommodate the varying slopes. Hitting a golf ball on a slope affects its flight path. If the course has upslopes or downslopes, the ball's flight direction and arc will be affected. Players need to consider these factors to achieve the most accurate shot.

[0004] Current indoor golf cannot simulate outdoor terrain due to venue and environmental limitations, which reduces the fun of golf brought by the terrain and makes indoor golf give users a very poor experience on the terrain. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000 includes a turf 1000 for simulating the grass surface of a real golf course, a fixed platform 3000 disposed below the turf 1000 for supporting the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000, and an accordion cover 2000 disposed on the side of the fixed platform 3000 for protecting the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000 from external environmental influences (for example, foreign objects or golf balls falling into the gaps in the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000, causing damage to the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000). A 4x4 array of 16 lifting modules 4000 is fixedly mounted on the fixed platform 3000. The bottom of the lifting modules 4000 are connected to form a whole through the fixed platform 3000 to prevent the lifting modules 4000 from shifting. The lifting modules 4000 are used to adjust the local height of the turf 1000, thereby creating a height difference in the turf 1000 to form a terrain slope. Twelve retractable assemblies 5000 are installed between the horizontal and vertical gaps of adjacent lifting modules 4000. The accordion cover 2000 is connected to the edge of the turf 1000, allowing it to rise and fall with the lifting modules 4000. The configuration of the lifting modules 4000 can vary depending on the specifications of the fixed platform 3000. The configuration of the lifting modules 4000 only needs to meet the slope adjustment requirements of the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000. This application does not impose any restrictions on the configuration method of the lifting modules 4000.

[0038] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the lifting module 4000 includes a top plate 4100 positioned below the turf 1000, a top plate guide rail assembly 4200 fixedly mounted below the top plate 4100, a bottom plate 4300 fixedly mounted above the fixed platform 3000, a motor guide rail assembly 4400 fixedly mounted above the bottom plate 4300, a scissor arm assembly 4500 connecting the top plate guide rail assembly 4200 and the motor guide rail assembly 4400, and spring expansion and contraction assemblies 4600 disposed on both sides of the scissor arm assembly 4500. The motor guide rail assembly 4400 includes a fixing base 4410, an electric push rod 4420, and a bottom slider 4430. The top plate guide rail assembly 4200 includes two guide rod fixing blocks 4210, two straight rods, and a top slider 4230. The scissor arm assembly 4500 includes two scissor arms 4510 and three pins 4520.

[0039] The base plate 4300 is mounted on the fixed platform 3000. The fixed base 4410 is fixedly mounted on one side of the base plate 4300. The bottom of the electric actuator 4420 is fixedly mounted on the side of the fixed base 4410 facing the interior of the lifting module 4000. A bottom slider 4430, with guide bearings 4433 on both sides, is located at the protruding end of the electric actuator 4420. Two guide rails 4310 are installed on the other side of the base plate 4300. The guide bearings 4433 on both sides of the bottom slider 4430 are placed on the two guide rails 4310 of the base plate 4300. The guide rails 4310 guide the bottom slider 4430 to move only in the axial direction of the electric actuator 4420. The motor guide assembly 4400 is the primary power source. The electric actuator 4420 drives the bottom slider 4430 to move back and forth in the axial direction of the electric actuator 4420. The movement of the bottom slider 4430 drives the connected scissor arms 4510 to open and close.

[0040] Guide rod fixing blocks 4210 are mounted on either side of the top plate 4100. The guide rod fixing blocks 4210 are connected to each other via two straight rods. The straight rods are parallel to the electric push rods 4420. The top slider 4230 is provided with two guide rod holes, each containing a friction-reducing cylindrical slider oil-free bushing 4240. The top slider 4230 is embedded in the straight rods through the guide rod holes, allowing it to move back and forth between the guide rod fixing blocks 4210. The top plate guide rail assembly 4200 guides the top plate 4100 in its longitudinal lifting and lowering motion by allowing the top slider 4230 to move on the straight rods to accommodate the lateral movement of the scissor arms 4510.

[0041] The scissor arm assembly 4500 includes two scissor arms 4510, one on each side of the motor guide rail assembly 4400 and the other on the top plate guide rail assembly 4200. The scissor arms 4510 in this embodiment are each a double-layer structure consisting of four cross-linked scissor arms. The structure of the scissor arms 4510 in the scissor arm assembly 4500 can be configured according to the lifting requirements of the lifting module 4000, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions. The two ends of the bottom slider 4430 are connected to the guide rail bearing 4433 and one side of the lower end of the scissor arm assembly 4500 via threaded pins; the two ends of the fixed seat 4410 are connected to the other side of the lower end of the scissor arm assembly 4500 via threaded pins. The upper end of the scissor arm assembly 4500 is connected to both sides of the guide rod fixing block 4210 directly above the fixed seat 4410 and both sides of the top slider 4230 via threaded pins. The top slider 4230 and the bottom slider 4430 move in the same direction through the scissor arm 4510. The eight cross-connections of the scissor arms 4510 on either side are fixed by three pins 4520 and threaded pins to form pivot points, thus strengthening the structure of the scissor arms 4510. The motor guide rail assembly 4400, the top plate guide rail assembly 4200, and the scissor arm assembly 4500 are connected together to form a single scissor lift assembly. When the electric push rod 4420 retracts the bottom slider 4430, the scissor arms 4510 contract upward and downward, thereby retracting the top slider 4230 and raising the top plate 4100. When the electric push rod 4420 extends the bottom slider 4430, the scissor arms 4510 contract leftward and rightward, thereby extending the top slider 4230 and lowering the top plate 4100.

[0042] As shown in FIG6 , the bottom slider 4430 is provided with a push rod connection hole 4431 extending axially through the electric push rod 4420. The extended end of the electric push rod 4420 can move within the bottom slider 4430 through the push rod connection hole 4431. A latch hole 4432 is provided in the push rod connection hole 4431, extending vertically through the circular shape of the push rod connection hole 4431. The extended end of the electric push rod 4420 is provided with a coaxial push rod pin connection hole 4421 at a position corresponding to the insertion hole. A push rod pin 4440 is embedded in the push rod pin connection hole 4421 through the latch hole 4432, thereby securing the extended end of the electric push rod 4420 to the bottom slider 4430. To prevent the push rod pin 4440 from moving up and down due to vibration during movement of the bottom slider 4430, retaining springs 4521 are provided at both ends of the push rod pin 4440 for securing its position.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6, the base plate 4300 is provided with a movable limit hole 4320 between the two guide rails 4310. A concave notch is provided at the bottom of the bottom slider 4430 at a position corresponding to the movable limit hole 4320. The notch is coaxially connected to the limit bearing 4434 via a threaded pin. Simultaneously, the limit bearing 4434 is embedded in the movable limit hole 4320 and can only move with the bottom slider 4430 in the axial direction of the electric push rod 4420. The connection between the movable limit hole 4320 and the limit bearing 4434 ensures that the bottom slider 4430 only moves linearly in the axial direction of the electric push rod 4420, preventing the bottom slider 4430 from swaying side to side, causing the entire lifting module 4000 to sway side to side. It also prevents the bottom slider 4430 from derailing due to the extended end of the electric push rod 4420 extending too far.

[0044] As shown in FIG7 , the spring assembly disposed outside the scissor arm component 4500 includes a cylindrical spring seat 4610, a T-shaped spring guide rod 4630, and a cylindrical rectangular spring 4620. The bottom of the spring seat 4610 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 4300. The inner diameter of the top of the spring seat 4610 is the same as the outer diameter of the rectangular spring 4620, which is embedded in the top of the spring seat 4610. The spring guide rod 4630 includes a cylindrical guide rod cap at the top and a cylindrical straight rod. The diameter of the guide rod cap is larger than the outer diameter of the rectangular spring 4620, while the diameter of the straight rod is the same as the inner diameter of the bottom of the spring seat 4610. The spring guide rod 4630 is embedded in the spring seat 4610 via the rectangular spring 4620. An oil-free bushing 4640 is embedded at the connection between the spring guide rod 4630 and the spring seat 4610 to reduce friction between the two, allowing the spring guide rod 4630 to move up and down within the spring seat 4610. The guide rod cap of the spring guide rod 4630 is not connected to the top plate 4100. It should be understood that the lower the height of the scissor arm 4510's lifting structure, the greater the pulling force required by the electric push rod 4420, and vice versa. When the top plate 4100 is descending, the top plate 4100 presses down on the rectangular spring 4620 via the spring guide rod 4630, thereby storing energy through the deformation of the rectangular spring 4620. When the top plate 4100 needs to rise, the deformed rectangular spring 4620 provides an upward thrust, assisting the top plate 4100 in ascending. At the same time, the lower the top plate 4100 descends, the greater the deformation of the squeezed rectangular spring 4620, and the greater the potential energy stored in the rectangular spring 4620. When the lifting structure height of the scissor arm 4510 is lower, the rectangular spring 4620 can provide a greater upward thrust.

[0045] Referring to Figures 8, 9, and 10, adjacent lifting modules 4000 are connected via a retractable assembly 5000. The retractable assembly 5000 includes a fixed plate 5200, a first hinge 5100, a slide rail 5300 (as shown in Figure 11), a retractable plate 5400, and a second hinge. The fixed plate 5200 is a square tube structure. One side of the first hinge 5100 is mounted on one side of the opening surface of the fixed plate 5200. The other side of the first hinge 5100 is fixedly mounted on the lifting module 4000 near the first hinge 5100. The bottom of the slide rail 5300 is fixedly mounted inside the opening on the other side of the fixed plate 5200. One side of the retractable plate 5400 is fixedly mounted on the slider of the slide rail 5300. The other side of the retractable plate 5400 is fixedly mounted on one side of the second hinge. The other side of the second hinge is fixedly mounted on the lifting module 4000 near the second hinge. The retractable assembly 5000 fills the gaps between adjacent lifting modules 4000 due to the height difference, thereby preventing users from stepping on empty space when walking on the golf course terrain simulation platform 10000.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
