Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-speed type golf ball auto tee-up device,

The present invention relates to a novel concept of miniaturizing and simplifying the structure of an automatic tee-up machine, as well as performing a tee-up operation of a golf ball put on a golf tee at a high speed.

In recent years, golf has become a popular sport, and its population has also increased rapidly. In response to this tendency, recently, indoor and outdoor golf driving range equipped with advanced automation facility has been spreading to provide convenience to users.

In the golf driving range described above, the golfer performs a lot of effort and repeated practice so as to swing his / her swing form while swinging and swinging to a desired position.

In addition, 'Screen golf', which is a golf simulation system that can obtain a visual effect such as playing golf in an outdoor golf course and enjoy a golf game with a companion, is widely available on the market.

In such a golf driving range and screen golf, a golf ball tee-up device is required in which a golf ball is placed on a tee installed on an artificial mat.

The tie-up device, which is widely used in the past, is individually exposed and installed for each of the golf driving range and screen golf so as to automatically tie up the golf ball. When the golfer steps on the foot pedal, The balls stored in the ball are discharged one by one and supplied to the golfer.

However, since the conventional golf ball tee-up device configured as described above is structured so that the golfer can continuously receive the ball by pressing the foot pedal, much attention must be paid to the operation thereof, As the tee-up device is disposed, it causes psychological uneasiness of the golfer, which hinders the ball to be hit accurately, and frequently hits the tee-up device due to a mistake.

In recent years, a buried type tie-up device that provides a psychological sense of security to a golfer by blocking external exposure by embedding a golf ball tee-up device on the bottom of a batting surface has been gaining popularity as a solution to solve the above problem.

As a prior art related to such a buried-type tie-up apparatus, "Patent Registration No. 908744, titled / compact type automatic golf tee-up apparatus" is disclosed.

In the prior art, the auxiliary tee and the main tee built in the automatic teeing machine are gradually raised, and the golf ball is accurately and uniformly tilted. However, since the overall height of the teeing device is very low, . ≪ / RTI >

The prior art is made up of complicated components such as a first auxiliary lift train, a main lift train passing through the auxiliary lift, and two actuators for driving the auxiliary lift and the main lift respectively.

Accordingly, since the golf ball is tilted up by the sequential multi-step operation of the auxiliary golf tee and the main tee, it takes a long time to reach the tee-up in the initial state and the operability is lowered. There is a problem that the volume of the tie-up device is large, and the occupied area is wide, so that the installation space is limited.

In addition, there are many component parts of the tie-up device, and the overall structure is very complicated, resulting in a difficulty in fabrication as well as a deterioration in productivity and a high manufacturing cost.

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that a driving rotation lever operated by a tee-up motor and a driven rotation lever engaged with the driving rotation lever interlock with each other, and a golf tee lifter coupled with the driven rotation lever lifts While the golf ball is being tapped at a high speed, techniques are being sought to simplify the structure of the auto teeing machine.

 According to the present invention, there is provided a method for converting a rotational motion of a tee-up motor into a vertical motion using a pair of a driving rotation lever and a driven rotation lever and transmitting the motion to a golf tee lifter, Thereby dramatically shortening the tee-up time and providing an effect of greatly improving operability.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the structure for operating the golf tee is not arranged horizontally, but is configured to operate only in the vertical direction, the width of the auto tee machine is narrow to form a square shape, The occupied area is small, thereby providing the effect of not being limited by the installation space.

In addition, the present invention provides an effect of remarkably reducing manufacturing cost and productivity as well as manufacturing cost by reducing the number of components of an automatic tie-up machine for a normal tie-up.
