Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism that makes it possible to adjust the position (height) of a tee in a buried type automatic tee-up device in a stepless manner.

(B) Prior Art There are various inventions and devices conventionally used for a practice golf ball arrangement device in a golf driving range. Among them, a golf ball placement device is mounted on a tee by a tee-up device buried underground at the bat position. It can be said that the apparatus of the type in which the lifted golf ball is protruded by the elevating device does not expose a mechanism that becomes an obstacle in hitting the ball, and is a winning apparatus.

However, the height of the tee in the conventional automatic tee-up device is stepwise, such as three-stage adjustment of high, medium and low.

A device that can adjust the height steplessly is also a public utility model gazette
Although disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-63264, height adjustment cannot be performed by a golf practitioner himself, and improvement has been desired.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention Accordingly, the present invention allows a golf practitioner to adjust the tee ascending position steplessly in advance, and automatically raises the tee to that position after the adjustment. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic tee-up device capable of adjusting the position thereof to a height suitable for oneself in any desired stepless manner.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention attaches a tee to a belt hung in a vertical direction via a motor whose rotation speed can be controlled, and detects a lower limit position of the tee. In a tee-up device that raises and lowers the tee by rotating the motor according to the set number of pulses from the switch to the tee-up, the motor has an arbitrary height by an ascent and descent switch separately provided near the golf practice bat. The number of pulses for raising or lowering is given, the height of the tee is adjusted, and the number of pulses added to the set number of pulses plus the number of pulses is stored in the control mechanism. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic tee-up device capable of stepless adjustment, characterized in that the tee is repeated.

(E) Embodiment Hereinafter, the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

FIG. 4 is an external view of an automatic tee-up device capable of stepless adjustment according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base box buried in the ground under a bat, and an upper surface 4 of the base box 1 includes: An elevating hole 3 for a tee for elevating the golf ball B sent is drilled.

In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a tee, and reference numeral 5 denotes a ball distribution path for providing the golf ball B to the tee 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a control box, and an upper button 21 and a lower button are provided on the upper surface of the control box 20.
22 are provided.

The inside of the base box 1 is a front sectional view of FIGS. 1 and 2 and a plan sectional view of FIG.

On the floor surface 7 of the base box 1, a lifting column 6 is vertically provided so as to be located near the lifting hole 3 of the tee 2 on the upper surface 4.

A guide column 23 is also provided upright in parallel with the lifting column 6.

The guide posts 23 prevent the tee 2 from moving when it is raised and lowered.

An elevating body 9 is slidably mounted on the elevating column 6, a tee 8 is mounted on the elevating body 9, and a tee 2 is mounted on the tee arm 8.

The tee 2 is fixed to the belt 13 via the tee arm 8 and the elevating body 9.

The elevating body 9 connects the left and right strut mounting portions having the insertion holes of the elevating struts 6 and the guide struts 23 to each other, and
It is composed of a connecting plate 10 having a belt fixing portion 17.

An upper driven pulley 11 suspended from the upper surface of the base 1 near the lifting column 6 in the base 1, and a lower driven pulley erected on the floor 7 of the base 1 located directly below the upper driven pulley. 12 is provided, and a belt 13 is hung between a drive pulley 15 of a separately provided pulse motor 14.

Therefore, the belt between these two driven pulleys 11 and 12
13 is hung vertically.

In the figure, reference numerals 21 and 22 denote arbitrary up / down switches, and the golfer can specify an arbitrary height by using the switches 21 and 22. Thereby, the number of pulses required for the height is transmitted to the control mechanism. The number of pulses required to raise the tee 2 to the ground surface is stored in the control mechanism in advance, the number of pulses transmitted from the arbitrary up / down switches 21 and 22 is added to this, and this calculation is stored. The number of pulses is sent to the pulse motor 14 as a signal, whereby the rotation speed of the pulse motor 14 is controlled.

A limit switch 16 is provided at a lower portion of the ascending column 6 so that the descending tee 2 can be stopped at a position where a golf ball supplied from the ball path 5 can be placed.

(F) Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, it exhibits the following effects.

First, the golf practitioner can determine the ascending position of the tee 2 steplessly in advance according to the content of the practice or his own preference, and after the determination, the tee 2 automatically rises to the determined position and sets the ball B repeatedly. Willing to.

Thereafter, when the practice content is changed, for example, when the practice is changed from wood to iron, the position of the tee 2, that is, the position of the ball needs to be set low. In this case, it is desirable to set a delicate height similar to the turf surface at the golf course. In this case as well, the present invention can be adjusted steplessly, so that the requirements of such a practitioner can be satisfied.

The present invention has thus become convenient and effective for golf practice.
