Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Rückfahren von Golfbällen oder dgl. für Golf-Übungsanlagen oder dgl.The invention relates to a device for reversing Golf balls or the like for golf practice facilities or the like
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ballrückführungsvorrichtung für Golf-Übrungsanlagen zu entwickeln, die in der Lage ist, die innerhalb einer bestimmten Fläche auftreffenden Bälle selbständig durch eine möglichst von außen unsichtbare, in der Erde verlaufende Leitung in einen Ballautomaten oder an einen beliebigen anderen Ort zu befördern, wobei die Bälle im allgemeinen Steigungen zu überwinden haben.The invention has for its object a To develop ball return device for golf practice systems, which is capable of operating within a certain area hitting balls independently by one from the outside if possible invisible pipe running in the ground into one To transport ball machines or to any other place, the balls generally have to overcome gradients.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Vorrichtung eine trichterförmige Ebene aufweist, in deren tiefstem Punkt eine Eintrittsöffnung durch einen Rührstab vor möglichen Ballstockungen bewahrt wird. Die eintretenden Bälle werden mittels einer Luftströmung durch eine Förderleitung an den gewünschten Ort befördert.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Device has a funnel-shaped level, in the deepest Point an entry opening through a stir bar in front of possible Ball stagnation is preserved. The balls are entered by means of an air flow through a delivery line to the desired location promoted.
Da bei größeren Übungsanlagen der Fall auftreten kann, daß zu viele Bälle rasch hintereinander in die Förderleitung gelangen, können dadurch wegen begrenzter Leistung des Luftgebläses Stauungen in der Förderleitung auftreten.Since the case can occur with larger training facilities that too many balls get into the delivery line in quick succession, may result due to limited air blower performance Congestion occurs in the delivery line.
Diesem Problem wird dadurch Abhilfe geleistet, daß bei solchen Anlagen die Eintrittsfrequenz der Bälle durch eine Zellenradschleuse zwischen Eintrittsöffnung und Förderleitung auf einen optimalen Wert eingestellt werden kann.This problem is remedied by the fact that in such Plant the entry frequency of the balls through a Cell wheel lock between the inlet opening and the delivery line an optimal value can be set.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigtAn embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail below. It shows
Fig. 1 den Längsschnitt einer Vorrichtung zum Rückführen von Golfbällen für Golf-Übungsanlagen, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a device for recycling of golf balls for golf practice facilities,
Fig. 2 die Draufsicht. Fig. 2 is a top view.
Die in den Figuren dargestellte Vorrichtung weist eine vor einem Fangnetz (8) befindliche, trichterförmige Ebene (9) auf, an deren tiefstem Punkt sich eine Eintrittsöffnung (10) befindet.The device shown in the figures has a funnel-shaped plane ( 9 ) located in front of a safety net ( 8 ), at the lowest point of which there is an inlet opening ( 10 ).
Durch eine Überdachung (6) wird das Leitungssystem vor eintretendem Regenwasser oder sonstiger Verunreinigung geschützt. Ein direkt über der Eintrittsöffnung angeordneter Rührstab (5), der durch einenMotor (vorzugsweise Elektro-Getriebemotor) antreibbar ist, behebt eventuelle Ballstockungen vor derselben. A roof ( 6 ) protects the pipe system from rainwater or other contamination. A stirring rod ( 5 ) which is arranged directly above the inlet opening and can be driven by a motor (preferably an electric gear motor) eliminates any ball stalls in front of the same.
Unterhalb der Eintrittsöffnung befindet sich eine Zellenradschleuse (4), die durch einen Motor (vorzugsweise Elektro-Getriebe-Motor) antreibbar ist. Diese Zellenradschleuse (4) besteht hier aus einer sich drehenden Scheibe, die in Richtung parallel zu ihrer Drehachse mindestens eine Bohrung aufweist, die so beschaffen ist, daß sie eine bestimmte Anzahl von Golfbällen (in der Regel einen) aufnehmen kann. Unmittelbar unterhalb der o. g. Scheibe ist eine zweite, feststehende Scheibe angeordnet, die gegenüber der Eintrittsöffnung (10) eine Öffnung aufweist, durch die die Bälle in die Förderleitung (2) gelangen.A cellular wheel sluice ( 4 ) is located below the inlet opening and can be driven by a motor (preferably an electric gear motor). This cellular wheel sluice ( 4 ) here consists of a rotating disc which has at least one bore in the direction parallel to its axis of rotation, which is designed so that it can accommodate a certain number of golf balls (usually one). Immediately below the above-mentioned disc there is a second, fixed disc, which has an opening opposite the inlet opening ( 10 ) through which the balls enter the delivery line ( 2 ).
Unmittelbar vor der Einmündung in die Förderleitung (2) ist zur Verhinderung eines Luftdruckverlustes in das fallende Rohr eine Rückschlagklappe (3) eingesetzt. Diese Rückschlagklappe (3) ist mit einem Gegengewicht ausgerüstet, welches so bemessen ist, daß die Klappe im Ruhezustand geschlossen bleibt, jedoch während des Passierens eines Balles von dessen Eigengewicht kurzzeitig geöffnet wird. (Anstelle eines Gegengewichtes kann selbstverständlich auch eine Feder oder ähnliches verwendet werden.)A non-return valve ( 3 ) is inserted immediately before the junction in the delivery line ( 2 ) to prevent a loss of air pressure in the falling pipe. This non-return valve ( 3 ) is equipped with a counterweight, which is dimensioned so that the valve remains closed in the idle state, but is briefly opened by its own weight while passing a ball. (Of course, a spring or the like can also be used instead of a counterweight.)
Für die Luftströmung in der Förderleitung (2) sorgt ein Gebläse (1), das im allgemeinen am Ende der verlänerten Förderleitung vor dem Balleintritt angeordnet ist.A fan ( 1 ), which is generally arranged at the end of the extended delivery line before the inlet of the ball, ensures the air flow in the delivery line ( 2 ).
An der tiefsten Stelle des Leitungssystems befindet sich ein Entwässerungsventil (7). Dieses besteht aus einer Kammer mit einer unteren und einer oberen Kugel oder ein anderes auf Wasser schwimmfähiges Element befindet. Im Ruhezustand des Ventils dichtet dieses Element die untere Öffnung der Ventilkammer gegen Luftdruckverlust ab. Befindet sich Wasser in der Leitung, so schwimmt dieses Element so lange weiter oben, bis das Wasser entwichen ist.There is a drainage valve ( 7 ) at the lowest point in the pipe system. This consists of a chamber with a lower and an upper ball or another element floating on water. When the valve is at rest, this element seals the lower opening of the valve chamber against loss of air pressure. If there is water in the pipe, this element will float further up until the water has escaped.
