Description

{Training Apparatus for Golf Putting}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf putting practice apparatus, and more particularly, to a golf putting practice apparatus capable of performing putting practice by variously adjusting the surface state of a putting mat performing a putting practice.

In general, golf is not only a hit in the fairway, but also putting on the green is also important. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of golf, putting practice on the green should be carried out regularly.

For example, a conventional golf putting practice mat disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1153341 is a putting practice mat, in which a hole is formed on one side in the longitudinal direction, and artificial turf is formed on the upper surface to perform putting practice.

However, unlike putting practice on practice mats, when putting in real field, the putting golf ball changes in cloud speed according to the condition of grass forming green slope or green. For example, in the case of a green with short cut grass, the golf ball rolls faster than when the grass is cut long. That is, the speed of the putter golf ball is changed by the length of the grass, and the length of the grass is different for each hole even in the same golf course. Therefore, the golfer always checks the length of the grass before putting, The putting is performed by controlling the strength of the putting force in anticipation of the moving speed of the golf ball to be put in accordance with the length of the golf ball.

However, when putting practice is performed on a conventional putting practice mat, the surface state of the putting mat can not be adjusted as the actual green grass length is different, so that when the putting is performed with the same force, the golf ball rolls at the same speed, Even with different velocities, there is only a velocity change according to the strength of the force. That is, since the user always performs the putting practice on the same surface state of the putting mat, it is difficult to perform the putting practice realistically, the practice effect becomes poor, and the putting ability can not be effectively improved as a result.

Hereinafter, a golf putting practice apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted.

The golf putting practice implement according to the present invention includes the frame 10, the putting mat 20, the hole cup portions 30 and 60, the friction pad 40, (50).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame 10 is formed in a hollow shape with one side thereof open and a space for accommodating the later-described components therein secured therein. This frame 10 supports the putting mat 20 as the putting mat 20 described later is installed on the upper part. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the frame 10 is preferably formed with a seating step 11 at the upper end of the inner circumference where the putting mat 20 is seated.

The putting mat 20 is formed into a plate shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and a plurality of through holes 21 are formed on the surface. The putting mat 20 is installed on the upper portion of the above-described frame 10 in such a state that it is spaced from the ground as shown in Fig. 2 so that the following components can be accommodated in the frame 10 described above. At this time, the putting mat 20 preferably has a synthetic grass 22 formed on the surface of synthetic fibers such as nylon yarn or polyethylene so as to give the same or similar feeling as the green of the actual field. 1, the putting mat 20 is spaced from the ground as it is installed on the seating jaw 11 of the frame 10 as shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, when the user places the golf ball B on the ground, It is preferable that the striking part 23 is provided on the bottom of the frame 10.

In addition, the putting mat 20 may be formed in accordance with the state of the putting surface, that is, the putting mat 20 shown in Figs. 3 and 4, for example, using a stimpmeter used when measuring the green speed in an actual green. The resistance value of the putting surface may be measured according to the protruding height of the protrusion 41 to check the simulation with the actual green as described later.

The hole cup portion 30 is a portion where the putted golf ball B is hole-formed, and is provided on one side (left upper side in the drawing) of the putting mat 20 as shown in FIG. 2, a hole cup 31 is formed on one side of the putting mat 20 so that the hole cup 32 can be inserted. However, the hole cup 32 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the hole cup 32 Or may be formed by a groove or a hole itself.

The friction pad 40 is a means for reducing the speed of the golf ball B by causing friction to the golf ball B moving on the surface of the putting mat 20 described above, And a plurality of projections 41 are formed on the surface of the putting mat 20 so as to be inserted into or removed from the through holes 21 of the putting mat 20.

The protrusion 41 protrudes on the surface of the putting mat 20 through the through hole 21 of the putting mat 20 and is brought into contact with the golf ball B rolling along the surface of the putting mat 20 Thereby reducing the moving speed of the golf ball B as the friction is induced.

3, the protrusion 41 may be formed of a material having a restoring force against the refraction due to the self weight of the golf ball B as shown in FIG. 3. The protrusion 41 may be formed of a material having a restoring force against the refraction, And a synthetic resin having a restoring force against the refraction can be used. The projections 41 may be formed in the shape of pins as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but may be formed in various shapes such as a square bar or a cone.

2 to 4, when the friction pad 40 is formed of the same material as the protrusion 41, the reinforcing plate 42 for reinforcing the lower surface of the friction pad 40 is formed at a lower portion And it is preferable that the reinforcing plate 42 is formed of a hard material such as metal or plastic.

At this time, the putting mat 20 may further include a putting cover 24 on the putting surface, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The putting cover 24 is made of a resin material such as PER or PVC which is good in elasticity and is strong. The putting cover 24 is attached to one side of the putting face, for example, by adhering to the rim of the putting face to cover the putting face, Or the through hole 21 is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, the putting cover 24 covers the discontinuously extending protrusion 41 or the through hole 21, and maintains the continuity of the putting surface regardless of the protrusion height of the protrusion 41. [ That is, the putting mat 20 allows the putting surface to maintain a smooth continuous surface.

The friction pad 40 may be formed of two or more different pads and may have different widths, heights, or slopes of the pads 40, or different lengths, elasticity, or slopes of the projections 41 The performance of the putting mat 20 formed by the friction pad 40 may be varied in various ways.

As shown in Fig. 8, the putting mat 20 can be configured such that the bending angle of the protrusion 41 can be adjusted individually as in a solenoid valve, A bending operation portion 38 for bending the protrusion 41 and an outer skin 43 for forming a protrusion 41 that is bent by the bending operation portion 38. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the bending operation portion 38 is a board on which a plurality of solenoid pins 37 protrude, and is electrically connected to the speed adjusting portion 50. Accordingly, when the current is applied from the speed regulating portion 50, the bending operation portion 38 is bent in the predetermined direction as shown in FIG. 6B. As the current intensity is increased, It is possible to change the rolling resistance of the putting mat 20 by adjusting the degree of bending of the protrusion 41 by changing the intensity of the current. The outer skin 43 is a rigid body that covers each of the solenoid pins 37 and covers the bending operation portion 38. The outer skin 43 forms the protrusion 41 at a portion surrounding the solenoid pin 37, 41 may be folded together with the solenoid pin 37 during the bending operation of the bending operation portion 38. [

Therefore, the user can change the rolling resistance of the golf ball B by the putting mat 20 shown in FIG. 8 by changing the bending angle of the individual protrusion 41. At this time, the bending angle of the protrusion 41 The rolling resistance of the putting mat 20 according to the present invention can be measured in advance by the steam meter and the measured value can be DBed in the speed regulator 50. [ Accordingly, when the green speed for a specific green measured by a steam meter at an actual golf course is input as a sample value at an external terminal such as a server of a screen golf course, the speed adjusting unit 50 stores the putting mat 20, It is possible to simulate the putting mat 20 according to the specific greens by matching the rolling resistance measurement value of the solenoid pin 37 with the upper sample value and determining the bending angle of the solenoid pin 37 according to the matching result.

The speed adjusting unit 50 is a means for adjusting the moving speed of the golf ball B by changing the height at which the projection 41 of the friction pad 40 protrudes onto the surface of the putting mat 20, For example, an actuator 51 for raising and lowering the friction pad 40 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

The actuator 51 may be of any type as long as it is capable of raising and lowering the friction pad 40 such as a normal ball screw, a hydraulic jack or a hydraulic cylinder. In the embodiment of the present invention, As shown, a hydraulic cylinder type is used. 3 and 4, the actuator 51 is mounted on the lower portion of the friction pad 40 and moves up and down the friction pad 40 as the up and down operation is performed, (41) is changed.

Meanwhile, the above-described hole cup portion 30 may further include a hole-shaped display stage 33 and a hole-sensing stage 33 for indicating the success of the putting as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the hole-sensing end 33 is a means for sensing a golf ball B held in the hole cup portion 30, and is formed of a disk-shaped disk, for example, Which is operated by the contact of a valve-type switch. As shown in FIG. 2, the hole-sensing end 33 may be installed on the inner bottom surface of the hole portion 30, and therefore, The switch is activated.

In the meantime, the hole-like display stage is a display device for informing a user or the like that the putted golf ball B is hollow, and is connected to the sensing stage 33, which is a hole, in a wireless or wired form, And outputs the success of the putting in the form of voice or image according to the means. Thus, such a hole-in-display stage can output a voice corresponding to the success of putting, for example, through a speaker. Further, for example, a screen corresponding to the success of putting can be outputted through the monitor. At this time, it is preferable that the speaker and the monitor are installed at a position adjacent to the striking part 23 striking the golf ball B by the user.

9 and 10, the hole cup portion 60 may include a digital target 61 that is a target of the golf ball B at the time of putting and a display .

Here, the digital target 61 is a sensing means that senses a putted golf ball B and puts a putting score according to a position at which the golf ball B is sensed. Like the hole cup 32 of FIG. 2, (Upper left side) of the putting mat 20 as shown, for example, so as to become a target of the golf ball B when putting. In addition, the digital target 61 is formed in a target shape in which a plurality of circles concentrically draw a low score as the position where the putted golf ball B is sensed farther from the center, and a high score when it is as close as possible. In particular, the digital target 61 is a thin plate sensing pad, which can be removably fixed to the putting mat 20, and can be detached and moved at any position on the putting mat 20 to move the fixed position. 10, a center circle 61a having a size corresponding to the hole of the hole cup 32 is formed, and a center circle 61a is formed at the outer periphery of the center circle 61a A plurality of circles 61b and 61c having a large diameter are formed.

The display means is a display device for notifying the user of the putting score when the golf ball B is detected on the digital target 61 as described above, And outputs the putting score in the form of voice or image according to the display method or display means. Accordingly, the digital target 61 has a switch, which is operated by the contact of the golf ball B, as in the above-described sensing end 33 of the hole described above, To the display means. 10, the display means displays "Eagle" or "100 points" when the golf ball B stops at the center circle 61a of the digital target 61, and stops when the golf ball B stops at the middle circle 61b Quot; birdie "or" 80 points ", and when stopping at the outer circle 61c, "wave" or "70 points" The digital target 61 may transmit the score to the user in various voice or screen forms as well as the score form described above according to the position of the golf ball B.

9, the digital target 61 forms a hole cup 31 and a hole cup 32 in the putting mat 20, and the digital target 61 is placed on the inner bottom surface of the hole cup 32 Where the hole cup 32 should be sized to accommodate the digital target 61.

The operation of the golf putting practice apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above will be described as follows.

First, when the user hits the golf ball B at the striking portion 23 of the putting mat 20 as shown in Fig. 1, the golf ball B is moved along the surface of the putting mat 20 As shown in FIG. 3, since the golf ball B moves while receiving frictional resistance as it contacts the protrusion 41 of the friction pad 40 protruding on the surface of the putting mat 20 as shown in FIG. 3, The speed of movement is decreased as compared with the case where there is no movement.

3 and 4, the user adjusts the height of the protrusion 41 protruding on the surface of the putting mat 20 by raising and lowering the friction pad 40 using the speed adjusting unit 50 The speed of the golf ball B is controlled by varying the magnitude of the frictional resistance caused by the contact of the protrusion 41 with the golf ball B to thereby vary the speed of the putting mat 20 variously While putting practice can be done.

For example, when practicing the putting practice such that the golf ball B is moved at a slow speed on the green by forming the actual green grass slanting in the long or reverse direction, the speed adjusting part 50 The friction pad 40 is lifted with the pad 40 and the protrusion 41 of the friction pad 40 is projected onto the surface of the putting mat 20 so that the putting practice is performed. In this case, since the golf ball B is subjected to frictional resistance under the influence of the protrusion 41 when the golf ball B is moved, the moving speed is reduced, and the surface of the putting mat 20 is moved at a slow speed.

4, when the actual green grass is formed by being inclined in a short or forward direction so that the golf ball B is moved at a high speed on the green, when the putting practice is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, , The friction pad 40 is lowered and the putting practice is performed in a state in which the projection 41 of the friction pad 40 is not projected onto the surface of the putting mat 20. In this case, the surface of the putting mat 20 is moved at a high speed because the golf ball B is not affected by the protrusion 41 when the golf ball B is moved.

6 and 7, when the protrusion 41 protrudes as shown in FIG. 6 and the putting cover 24 is curved in a wave form, the golf ball B is relatively moved The putting surface of the putting mat 20 implements a slow green color. Conversely, if the protrusion 41 does not protrude as shown in FIG. 7, the putting surface of the putting mat 20 becomes a fast green .

8, the angle of bending of the individual protrusion 41 can be set by the speed regulating portion 50 as desired by the user, so that the putting mat 20 can be formed, for example, When the bending of the protrusion 41 is large or when the bending direction is the forward direction, the actual green having a high slope can be simulated, and the actual green having a small slope when the bending of the protrusion 41 is small or the bending direction is reverse. At this time, the speed adjusting unit 50 sets the rolling resistance of the putting mat 20 by matching the measured value stored in the DB with the green speed of the actual golf course, so that the putting practice can be performed in a condition very similar to the actual green of a specific golf course .

Accordingly, the user changes the surface state of the putting mat 20 such that the moving speed of the putter golf ball B varies depending on the grass length or the oblique direction in the actual green, So you can practice putting practice realistically.

When the golf ball B put in by the user is inserted into the hole cup 32, the detection cup 33, which is a hole provided on the inner bottom surface, senses the golf ball B, Through the display of the same hole, the success or failure of the putting is output to the voice or the screen. Thus, it is possible to enhance the exercise effect by encouraging the user's confidence in the putting success. Particularly, since the user can recognize whether or not the putting is successful through the voice output through the hole-shaped display unit without turning the head to check the position of the golf ball B after putting, the putting practice . Thus, the user can obtain correct putting habits.

In addition, when the hole cup portion 60 is made of a digital target 61 provided on the surface of the putting mat 20 as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the hole cup hole 31 is formed in the putting mat 20, It is not only easy to manufacture but also it is possible to change the installation position according to the user's need, so that the putting practice can be performed while adjusting the putting distance.

In addition, by transforming the score distribution of the digital target 61 into various forms other than concentric circles, the putting can be enjoyed as a game rather than practice.

1 and 5, the height of the striking part 23 where the putting is performed may be made higher than that of the hole cup part 30, so that the practice of downward putting can be practiced.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of example, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
