でボールを掬い上げる方法等が取られている。(Prior art) Collecting, cleaning, and supplying balls that have been hit to golf practice ranges, etc. (for hitting balls, etc.) to practitioners must be done quickly and efficiently, and within the limited number of balls held. If the above-mentioned collection rate is poor, there is a risk that the practitioner will have to wait a considerable amount of time until the ball is ready, and it is necessary for the operator to circulate the ball quickly. Various types of vehicle machines have been devised to collect balls, and generally speaking, balls scattered on the ground are sucked up by a suction pump, etc., or claws or locking wheels are placed horizontally at appropriate intervals. A method has been adopted in which the ball is disposed in the direction of the ball and the ball is scooped up by the claw as the vehicle travels.

が実状である。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, conventional ball collecting machines have advantages and disadvantages. For example, when sucking up balls with a pump, etc., the garbage disposal section is required to suck up the balls along with the garbage. A separate device must be provided, and if the ball is scooped up using claws or wheels that move while in contact with the ground, it may cause more damage to the lawn than necessary, so in any case, traditional collection is not possible. The machine is not satisfactory in terms of work efficiency,
The reality is that operators are looking for ball collecting machines with high performance.

ことが出来る。(Function) As described above, the ball collecting machine of the present invention allows the vehicle to travel in any direction with the guide plate and the ball catching roller lowered by remote control or the like, and rotates the ball catching roller in the direction of travel. If you do so, the balls scattered on the ground will first be guided to the center of the vehicle body by the guide plate, but at this time the balls will not be stepped on by the wheels and damaged, and the balls will be collected by the guide plate. The ball is successively pinched by the ball-catching rollers, and then moves to the top of the ball-catching roller after half a rotation in this state, and is released from the ball-catching claw by the ball release pawls formed on the top of the ball-catching roller, and is released from the ball-catching roller. The detached ball is automatically transported to a ball storage box on the vehicle body by an automatic transport device and can be stored in the ball storage box.
