BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf hitting apparatus capable of confirming the fact that a hit ball hits an extremely small area in a driving range.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a golf game, as is well known, the flight distance of a hit ball and its accuracy are the most important. In a golf hitting practice range, a target is provided on a net portion in front of a bat and a circular plate or the like is used. By arranging simulated greens, it is possible to practice hitting with correct distance and accurate direction.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, the golf driving range naturally has a large number of at-bats, and each of the at-bats is hit individually, so sometimes it is easy to lose track of the ball hit by oneself. Therefore, there is a problem in that trying to confirm the ball hit by oneself with the eyes is a so-called head-up phenomenon, and rather than aiming for improvement, rather than adding a bad habit, the form is broken and the form is broken.

[0004] In addition, hitting practice is always monotonous, and it is extremely boring compared to hitting after setting a target on an actual golf course.

[0005] The present invention is a golf hitting device designed to solve the above-mentioned conventional dissatisfaction points and to meet the demand, and reliably recognizes that a hit ball reaches a predetermined narrow area. To be able to do it,
The aim is to make golf hitting practice more interesting and to improve at the same time.

[0006]

The golf hitting apparatus according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems has a plurality of bats 2 with a plurality of bats.
Sound sensors and optical sensors
A transmitter 3b that senses through an impact sensor or the like;
Transmitting the blow signal individually sent from the transmitter 3b
At an appropriate distance from the base unit 3a
The ball receiving portion 6 which is arranged and receives the ball hit at the bat 2
Receiving the hitting signal and hitting the ball
If the ball enters within a certain short time after the signal is emitted,
And a receiver 5 for returning a ball receiving signal to the transmitting master 3a .

[0007]

[0008]

As a result of the above-described configuration, the transmitter near the turn at bat detects the moment of the hit by a sound sensor, an optical sensor, an impact sensor, or the like.
And transmits the impact signal to the receiver. On the other hand, a certain short period after the hitting signal is issued in the ball receiving portion of the receiver placed at an appropriate distance from the bat
When the ball enters within the time, the receiver that has received the batting signal from the bat returns the fact of receiving the ball as a ball receiving signal to the transmitter that issued the batting signal.

Therefore, when the hit ball enters the ball receiving portion, the fact can be immediately recognized at the turn at bat.

[0011] A transmitting slave unit arranged at each of the at-bats,
A transmission master unit that individually transmits the transmission signals of the transmitter units is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A plurality of bats 2 are provided side by side at one end of a golf driving range 1 simulating a fairway of a golf course. A transmitting master unit 3a is installed in a part of the inside of the hall 1 and is connected via a lead wire 4 to a transmitting slave unit 3b arranged at each at-bat 2.

The bat 2 where the transmitter 3b is located
For example, a sound sensor that detects the impact of the ball is built in, but the means for detecting the impact of the ball is not necessarily limited to the sound sensor, and the durability and accuracy are considered. An optical sensor, an impact sensor, or the like may be used.

The batting signal sensed by each transmitting slave unit 3b is individually sent to the transmitting master unit 3a via the lead wire 4. Further, the transmitting master unit 3a controlled by the sequencer transmits the hitting signal of each batting station 2. Are individually sent to the receiver 5.

In the vicinity of the other end of the hall 1, 50
Simulated green 7 located about 120 yards away from
The receiver 5 installed above has, for example, a ball receiving portion 6 having an opening diameter of about 1 yard.

When a hitting ball from the at-bat 2 enters the ball receiving section 6, the receiver 5 receiving the hitting signal from the at-bat 2 sends the fact of the hitting as a receiving signal to the transmitting master unit 3a. Reply.

However, each hitting signal from the at-bat 2 must correspond to the corresponding hitting signal.
In other words, within a short period of time after the hitting signal is issued, that is, for example, after a few seconds, which is the time required for the ball hit at a specific at-bat 2 to reach the receiver 5, the ball receiving unit 6 Only when the ball enters, it is necessary to feed back the ball receiving signal to the transmitter 3b that has issued the hitting signal.

If the hitting signal emitted from a particular at-bat 2 is valid until after the hitting hits the receiver 5, then a ball hitting from another at-bat 2 moves into the ball receiving section 6. When the player enters the game, the batting signals are duplicated, and the received ball signals are sent to a certain specific at-bat 2 and a subsequent at-bat 2 to cause confusion.

Therefore, it is necessary for the receiver 5 to cancel the reception and storage of the hitting signal after a required time after receiving a predetermined hitting signal and the hit ball is assumed to have reached the vicinity. .

Furthermore, when a certain batting area 2 and the other batting area 2 are hit at substantially the same time and a hitting signal is issued almost at the same time, when one of the hitting balls enters the ball receiving portion 6, any This does not mean that it is impossible to determine whether the ball is at bat 2.

However, a plurality of hits are made at exactly the same moment, and the same flight time is obtained with the same flight trajectory, and each of the hits in such a case accidentally enters the ball receiving portion 6. Is hard to imagine. However, it is necessary to minimize the probability of confusion as to which of the at-bats 2 is hit when the ball is hit almost simultaneously.

Various measures are conceivable for this measure. For example, the reaction start time of the receiver 5 may be delayed or the reaction time interval may be shortened. Specifically, instead of the transmitting base unit 3a immediately sending the hitting signal sensed by the transmitting handset 3b to the receiver 5, the hitting unit 6a receives the hitting signal assuming a predetermined flight time.
The signal may be sent to the receiver 5 immediately before reaching the vicinity, or the receiver 5 may be able to react after the assumed predetermined flying time after receiving the impact signal.

When the receiver 5 is installed in each of the plurality of simulated greens 7 arranged at different distances from the at-bat 2 in the hall 1, the receiver becomes more interesting, but in this case, accidentality is eliminated. Therefore, a select switch for selecting a simulation green 7 to be selected is arranged on the bat 2 side so that only the receiver 5 on the selected simulation green 7 can respond to the batting signal at the bat 2. deep.

The hit control in a golf shot is usually more accurate near the bat 2. Therefore, as described above, when installed in each of the plurality of simulated greens 7, the opening diameter of the ball receiving portion 6 of each receiver 5 increases as the distance from the bat 2 increases, and the opening diameter becomes the same, and If the difficulty evaluation of the scoring system is made higher for the farther ball receiving unit 6, the more interesting it is.

The transmitting base unit 3a receiving the ball receiving signal from the receiver 5 returns the fact to the transmitting sub unit 3b hit by the ball received by the ball receiving unit 6, so that it can be confirmed at the bat 2. However, at the same time, it is good to send it to the recorder 8.

That is, if this recording machine 8 is installed, for example, at the front of a practice field, it is determined which of the batting balls 2 has hit the receiving unit 6 of the receiver 5 on which simulation green 7. Can be recorded. If a predetermined reward, for example, a practice ball service ticket or the like is issued to a player who puts a hit ball into the ball receiving unit 6 based on this record and on the basis of the difficulty evaluation, the practice will be encouraged.

Communication between the transmission base unit 3a and the receiver 5 or between the transmission base unit 3a and the recording unit 8 may be performed by wire or wireless, but wireless is preferable for convenience of movement of the receiver 5. Further, in order to prevent damage due to the impact of the hit ball, at least the main body of the receiver 5 is hidden from the bat 2 direction.

In the above-described embodiment, the batting signal is transmitted by the transmitting master unit 3a installed in a part of the yard 1 and the transmitting slave unit 3b arranged in each of the at-bats 2. Instead, each of the at-bats 2 may be provided with a transmitter 3 having a function of integrating the transmitter master 3a and the transmitter 3b. In order to connect the transmission base unit 3a and each of the transmission sub units 3b via the lead wire 4, construction work and the like may be troublesome and costly, especially in an existing practice area. Transmitter 3 may be more desirable.

In the case where the transmitter 3 of the integrated function is arranged at each of the at-bats 2, a cartridge which records and stores the fact of receiving a ball, the number of balls used, and the like is provided detachably, so that settlement can be performed at the front desk. Is also a means.

[0031]

As described above, according to the golf hitting apparatus of the present invention, when hitting at a predetermined bat, the moment is sensed and a hitting signal is transmitted to a receiver, so that an appropriate distance from the bat is obtained. When a ball enters the ball receiving portion of the receiver placed in the field, the fact that the ball has been received can be returned as a ball receiving signal to the transmitter that issued the hitting signal, and that fact can be immediately recognized at the bat.

Therefore, it is possible to swing without mischievously following the whereabouts of the ball, and at the same time it is possible to add interest to the hitting practice that tends to be monotonous, and the equipment is simple and can be implemented on many golf practice ranges. It has many excellent effects such as can be expected.
