Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Golf balls hit by a shot practitioner at a golf driving range are scattered at the landing point at any driving range, so the work of collecting the golf balls always requires a lot of work. Requires workers,
Each ball had to be collected by hand, and while this process required a great deal of effort and time, it was also completely inefficient.
During ball batting practice, it is completely impossible to collect balls, and workers are always required to collect balls between practices or after practice.

Conventional golf driving ranges do not have any device for automatically concentrating hit golf balls.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention has been developed by constructing a wide funnel-shaped groove and a ball collection groove at the landing point of the ball in the golf driving range, and extending a large mesh net over the upper surface of the groove. In addition, the golf balls that are hit and falling are automatically collected by falling from the mesh of the net into the grooves and into the ball collection grooves, and the golf balls are automatically collected without the need for human intervention. This is related to the creation of a ball concentrating device with special characteristics.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

A wide funnel-shaped groove 2 is formed on the ground 1 at the ball landing point in the golf driving range, the inner surfaces 3 and 3' on both sides are appropriately sloped surfaces, and a U-shaped ball collecting groove is formed in the center of the groove. The groove 4 is configured to have an inclined angle from one end direction, and support anchor bolts 5, 5', 6, 6' are provided upright on the upper end circumference of the inner surfaces 3, 3' on both sides of the groove 2, and a golf ball is attached to the upper surface of the groove 2. A net 7 having a mesh size large enough to allow the ball to pass through is stretched, and its periphery is firmly supported by the support anchor bolts 5, 5', and the support anchor bolts 6,
The ball collecting net 8, 8', which can be freely moved up and down, is fixedly supported by the ball collecting net 6'.
Reference numeral 9 indicates a ball collecting and transporting groove, 10 a hanging wire for the ball collecting net, and 11 a wire hanging pulley.

The device of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and the golf balls hit by the practitioner fly and fall in various directions in front of the driving range. A golf ball falling to the configured position lands on the stretched net 7, and at the same time, bounces due to the elasticity of the net and passes through the mesh and falls to the inner surfaces 3 and 3' on both sides of the groove 2, or A golf ball that falls directly into the ball collecting groove 4 and falls on the inner surfaces of both sides falls into the ball collecting groove while rolling on an inclined surface. The golf balls that fall into the ball collection groove from groove 2 and are collected and fall onto the top surface of the ball collection net stretched on both sides of the groove are temporarily scattered, but the When the amount has accumulated, the suspension wire 10 is hoisted up via the pulley 11 by the power of a winch, etc., and the anchor bolts 6,
6', the golf balls that have fallen onto the top surface of each ball collection net roll down by their own force, and fall onto the inner surfaces 3 and 3' on both sides of the groove 2. The golf ball falls into the ball collecting groove while being guided and is collected.The ball collecting operation is automatically and continuously performed as described above, and the golf ball is collected by falling into the ball collecting groove. Golf balls are made by feeding water from a water pipe provided at one end of the ball collecting groove, and transferring water to the ball collecting and transferring groove 10 by the water flow force, and then to the next processing step.

In addition, the net 7 supports the periphery of the anchor bolt 5,
By firmly supporting the net at 5', it eliminates any loosening of the net and always acts like a grass surface, allowing the practitioner to accurately confirm the landing point of the golf ball, and also allows the golf ball to land on the ground. This completely saves labor in ball work and eliminates the dangers of the conventional method.

In short, as described above, the golf ball collecting device of the present invention comprises a wide, funnel-shaped groove on the ground at the point where the golf ball falls on the golf driving range, and a support anchor bolt is erected around the circumference of the groove. A net with a mesh size large enough for a golf ball to pass through is stretched over the top of the groove, and the periphery of the net is firmly supported by support anchor bolts, so that when a golf ball is struck, it automatically closes the groove. The feature is that the ball is collected while falling into the ball.
The ball collecting device of the present invention has many practical effects as described above.
