2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-5812, it is known to provide a ball excluding device for preventing a golf ball from being stepped on by a wheel of a golf ball collecting vehicle. However, there is no prior art that can be compared with the Western barrel type ball expulsion wheels of the first and second inventions of the present invention.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a one-body type golf ball collecting system which uses a rear two wheels of a towing vehicle or two wheels of a towed vehicle of a golf ball collecting vehicle or a rear part of the towing vehicle as a golf ball collecting box. A ball excluding device provided at the rear two wheels of the vehicle, or two wheels of a refracting trailing vehicle of a body refraction type golf ball collecting vehicle, front portions of the two wheels of the golf ball collecting and organizing vehicle, or any one of the front portions of required wheels. It is an object of the present invention to solve the problem of providing a ball excluding device by a new concept because it is not satisfactory to use the above-mentioned conventional ball excluding device.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, the rear two wheels of the towing vehicle or the two wheels of the towed vehicle or the towed vehicle of a golf ball collecting vehicle having a tow vehicle and a towed vehicle. Front two wheels of a one-body golf ball collecting vehicle with the rear part as a collection box for golf balls, or two wheels of a refracting trailing vehicle of a body refracting golf ball collecting vehicle, and two wheels of the same golf ball collecting and organizing vehicle Alternatively, any one of the above-mentioned required wheels is provided with a supporting body, such as a chain, which is bendable in the traveling direction in a hanging shape, and a ball-rejecting wheel in the form of a Western barrel, which grounds the central portion in the traveling direction at its lower end, is pivotally supported. Then, according to the terrain, move the exclusion wheel up and down,
The present invention relates to a ball excluding device for a golf ball collecting vehicle, which is tilted to the left and right, and meets the above-mentioned object. According to a second aspect of the present invention, the rear two wheels of the towing vehicle or the two wheels of the towed vehicle of the golf ball collecting vehicle including the tow vehicle and the towed vehicle, or the rear portion of the tow vehicle is used as a golf ball collection box. On the front two wheels of the rear two wheels of the body type golf ball collecting vehicle, the two refracting trailing vehicles of the vehicle body refraction type golf ball collecting vehicle, the two wheels of the golf ball collecting and rearranging vehicle, or the wheel front portion of any one of the above. , A chain such as a chain that is bendable in the direction of travel is provided in a hanging shape, and the lower end of which is supported by a Western barrel-shaped ball expulsion wheel that grounds the central portion in the direction of travel. It is composed of a plurality of split exclusion wheels that are cut into a ring at the center and left and right thereof, and a shaft hole with an enlarged inner diameter is provided in the left and right split exclusion wheels, and each split exclusion wheel is moved up and down.
The present invention relates to a ball excluding device for a golf ball collecting vehicle, which is tilted to the left and right, and left and right split expulsion wheels are moved in the radial direction to be grounded. .

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the traveling terrain is horizontal, the ball excluding wheel 18 covers the center of the largest outer diameter and rolls to cover the front of the required wheel.
Since the gap between the ground and both wings of the ball excluding wheel 18 can always be less than or equal to the radius of the golf ball B, when the ball excluding wheel 18 hits the golf ball B scattered on the ground, it bounces forward or the required wheel Do not step on the ball B with the wheels by guiding it sideways from the front. In addition, when the terrain has a slope such as a depression, the ball expulsion wheel 18 has a Western barrel shape, so the right or left of the central portion comes into contact with the ground and rolls to maintain a gap of the above radius, and the golf ball B is held by the wheel. Do not trample.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when the traveling terrain is flat, the split elimination wheel 19 at the center of the ball elimination wheel 18 _{1 in} the axial direction is formed.
_{Since 1} and 19 ₂ rotate without moving in the radial direction of the shaft rod 15 ₁ and the split exclusion wheels 20 ₁ , 20 ₂ , 21 ₁ and 21 ₂ have different outer diameters, the inner diameter D of the shaft hole is _The rotation rate of the golf ball B is brought into contact with the ground at the same peripheral speed while rotating at different rotation speeds due to the difference between ₁ and D ₂ , and the rejection rate of the golf ball B from the front portion of the wheel is increased. Moreover, in the terrain where there is a slope, due to the difference in the inner diameters D ₁ and D ₂ of the center holes at the beginning of the slope, all the wheels have different center heights of the shaft holes as shown in FIG. The rotation of the all-divided exclusion wheel on the ground makes it possible to completely prevent the stepping of the ball by the wheels.
