Hereinafter, a golf ball tie-up apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following specific examples are intended to illustrate the present invention without limiting it.

1 to 9, a golf tee-up device 1 according to the present invention includes a housing 10, a first driving mechanism 20, a tee upload 30, a platform 40, (50), an elevation guide (60), and a push device (100).

The housing 10 is a hollow case member in which components of the golf ball tie-up apparatus 1 according to the present invention are embedded. For example, the housing 10 can be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape elongated transversely.

In the housing 10 shown in Fig. 1 exemplified as a rectangular parallelepiped, an outlet 11a of the golf ball 2 to be tied up is formed on the upper surface 11, and a first driving mechanism 20, And a golf ball inlet 13a is formed in the front surface 13, which is upstream of the golf ball transfer path.

The first driving mechanism 20 is a driving mechanism provided on one side surface 12 of the housing 10 and is a driving mechanism for providing power to the elevating table 40 and the elevating table 50 For example, a motor capable of rotating in the forward and reverse directions within a certain range of angular speed can be used. Any driving mechanism that can be driven by the action described below is not limited to the motor, and other driving mechanisms such as a solenoid may be applied You may.

5 and 6, the tee upload 30 is installed on a drive shaft 21 (for example, a rotation shaft) of the first drive mechanism 20 and is driven by the first drive mechanism 20 Shaped member that rotates in the same manner as a seesaw and includes a seesaw 31 and a sliding rod 32. [

The seesaw rod 31 is a rod that is directly connected to the drive shaft 21 of the first drive mechanism 20. For example, the drive shaft 21 of the first drive mechanism 20 can be engaged at a substantially intermediate point of the seesaw load 31. When the drive shaft 21 rotates in the forward and reverse directions within a certain angle range, Rotates in a seesaw motion in which both ends ascend and descend in opposite directions to each other.

The sliding rod (32) is a rod that is slidably coupled to the seesaw rod (31). In the illustrated embodiment, the sliding rod 32 is formed with a slot 32a elongated in the longitudinal direction, and the seesaw 31 is slidably mounted in the slot 32a. Therefore, when an approximately lateral force is exerted on the sliding rod 32, the sliding rod 32 slides leftward and rightward relative to the seesaw 31 fixed to the first driving mechanism 20 depending on the direction in which the external force is applied .

The platform 40 is a member connected to one end of the sliding rod 32 (an end located in the upstream direction when viewed from the direction in which the golf ball is moved and the left end in the drawing) It can be formed into a disc shape having a diameter of about 1 mm.

The platform 40 is vertically movable along the elevation guide 60 to be described later. That is, when the tee upload 30 performs a seesaw motion, the platform 40 restrained by the sliding rod 32 moves up and down along the elevation guide 60 to be described later.

The distance between the fixed drive shaft 21 and the platform 40 that moves up and down is varied by the vertical movement of the platform 40. This variable distance is determined by the sliding movement of the sliding rod 32 relative to the seesaw 31 So that the platform 40 can be flexibly moved up and down in a state of being restrained by the sliding rod 32.

When the platform 40 is installed on the sliding rod 32 of the tee upload 30, the platform 40 is installed so as to be rotatable (inclined) while receiving a force to return to the horizontal position in the home position.

For example, the sliding rod 32 of the T-Upload 30 is provided at one end thereof with a rotary type bearing portion 33 and is provided on both sides of the platform 40 The pivot shaft 41 is protruded so that the pivot shaft 41 is rotatably engaged (inserted) in both shaft holes 33a of the bearing portion 33 so that the platform 40 rotates around the pivot shaft 41 So that the inclination can be varied.

The structure for restoring the platform 40 to the horizontal position is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in Figs. 6 and 8, by installing the elastic member 42 for providing the elastic force on the platform 40, When the external force is not applied, the platform 40 maintains the horizontal position, and when the external force is applied, the platform 40 is rotated depending on the external force so that the inclination can be changed.

Another example of causing the platform 40 to return to the horizontal position is to apply a load to the platform 40 at a position lower than the pivot axis 41 to make the center of gravity lower than the pivot axis 41 When the external force is applied to the platform 40, the platform 40 can be rotated depending on the external force, and the external force can be returned to the horizontal position when the external force disappears.

The lifting tee 50 is a member protruding upward from the platform 40 and lifting the golf ball 2 to the top of the lifting base 40. The lifting tee 50 can be lifted up to the load of the golf ball, Such as rubber or silicone, which can be flexibly deformed so as to be restored to its original shape when it is struck by a golf club.

The elevating table 50 is lifted and lowered integrally with the lifting and lowering of the platform 40. When the elevating table 40 is returned to the horizontal position in a state where the external force is not applied, The elevating table 40 is rotated and inclined, and when the external force disappears, the elevation table 40 is returned to its original standing position.

The elevation guide 60 is a guide member which is vertically formed on both side surfaces 12 of the housing 10 to guide the elevation platform 40 up and down.

As shown in Figs. 3 and 6, the elevation guide 60 can be formed in a vertical direction in the form of a groove at a position corresponding to the vertical movement locus of the rotary shaft 41 of the platform 40, The coaxial shaft 41 is vertically moved along the elevation guide 60 in a state of being inserted into the elevation guide 60 so that the platform 40 and the elevation tee 50 are vertically moved along the elevation guide 60 .

Although the elevation guide 60 is preferably vertically disposed, it is not excluded that the elevation guide 60 is formed in the vertical direction but has a slight inclination.

As described later, the turning (angle change) of the platform 40 to return to the home position is permitted only when the platform 40 is in the down position, while restricting the turning of the platform 40, So that the lifting tee 50 maintains the upright state.

6, the rotary shaft 41 has an inner circular portion 41a rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 33a and an outer rectangular portion 41b inserted into the elevation guide 60 The elevation guide 60 does not restrict the rotation of the prismatic portion 41b at the position corresponding to the lowering position of the platform 40. However, at the position corresponding to the remaining position of the platform 40, It is possible to restrict the rotation of the portion 41b.

In the illustrated embodiment, the width of the elevation guide 60 at the portion corresponding to the lowered position of the platform 40 is wider than the extended portion 61 by an extended width so as not to restrict the rotation of the angled portion 41b And the width of the elevation guide 60 at the portion corresponding to the remaining position of the platform 40 is narrower than the width of the angled portion 41b so that the angled portion 41b can move up and down, When the external force is applied due to the presence of the expanding portion 61 at the lowered position, the elevating tee 50 is rotated and the inclination can be changed. However, at the remaining positions, the rotation of the angled portion 41b is performed by the elevating guide 60 So that the horizontal position and the upright state are maintained even when an external force is applied.

The pushing device 100 is a device for pushing up the golf ball 2 on the lifting tee 50 at a descending position and is a device capable of lifting a golf ball on the lifting tee 50 at a descending position. Or more.

As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7, the push device 100 may include a second drive mechanism 110 and a push member 120.

The second driving mechanism 110 is a driving mechanism provided on a side surface 12 of the housing 10 at a position spaced a predetermined distance upstream from the first driving mechanism 20, 120, respectively.

As the second driving mechanism 110, for example, a decelerating motor capable of rotating in the normal direction and the reverse direction within a certain angle range can be used. If the mechanism can be driven as described later, It can also be applied.

The push member 120 is installed on the drive shaft 111 of the second drive mechanism 110 and is installed in the transport path of the golf ball 2. [ The push member 120 is rotated by the forward and backward rotation of the second driving mechanism 110, for example, in an arc locus of about 180 degrees or so, and the golf ball 2 to be towed, which is reached immediately in front of the platform 40, The golf ball is lifted up to the top of the lifting tee 50 by pivoting upward from the lower side by an arc locus, and when the tee-up of the golf ball is completed, to the position where it does not interfere with the progress of another waiting golf ball 2 And waits.

7, the push member 120 includes a connecting rod portion 121 fixed to the driving shaft 111, and a connecting rod portion 121 having a width narrower than the diameter of the golf ball 2 so as to push up the golf ball 2 from below And a lift part 123 for lifting the working part 222 to be described later and forcibly rotating the conveying member 220 to be described later. The pushing part 122 is formed to protrude toward the platform 40, , But is not limited to. The surface of the push portion 122 which is in contact with the golf ball 2 may be formed in a circular shape so as to push up the golf ball in a natural contact state with the golf ball 2.

9A, the push member 120 pivoted to the retracted position that does not interfere with the progress of the golf ball is rotated by the driving shaft (not shown) of the second driving mechanism 110 9) is rotated in one direction (counterclockwise in the drawing) (Fig. 9B), the swivel base 40 is rotated in the circular arc locus from the lower side of the drive shaft 111, And the golf ball pushed up by the push member 120 is lifted up by the lifting tee 50 at a position interfering with the circular movement locus of the golf ball, The lifting tie 50 is pushed by the golf ball and is tilted toward the downstream side. In this state, the golf ball continues to move in the vertical direction (Outer peripheral surface) of the lifting tee 50, 9C), the pressurization of the lifting tee 50 by the golf ball 2 is terminated and the lifting base 40 is lifted by the lifting base 40. As a result, The golf club 2 is brought to the top of the lifting tee 50. As a result, the lifting tee 50 is returned to the upright position.

9 (D and E in Fig. 9), the pushing member 120 is moved in the direction of the forward movement of the golf ball 2 To a retracted position on the upstream side that does not interfere with the tee-up operation of the waiting subsequent golf ball.

9, the driving shaft 21 of the first driving mechanism 20 is rotated in the other direction (clockwise direction in the figure) as shown in Figs. 9E and 9F, following the rotation of the push member 120 to the retreating position The golf ball 2 is brought into a tee-up state by lifting the lifting base 40 to the tee-up position while the platform 40 is lifted along the lifting guide 60. The golfer puts the tee- .

When a tie-up switch (not shown) is operated on the tee of the new golf ball after the golfer completes the tee shot (G in Fig. 9), the driving shaft 21 of the first driving mechanism 20 is rotated in one direction , The platform 40 and the lift-up tee 50 are lowered to the lowered position to prepare for tee-up of the next golf ball (Fig. 9A).

The push member 120 pivoted to the retracted position is rotated counterclockwise toward the platform 40 again in the same manner as described above after the platform 40 descends to the lowered position, The new golf ball is tilted up to the lift 50.

The golf tee-up device 1 according to the present invention to which the illustrated pushing device 100 is applied is configured to rotate in one direction (counterclockwise direction) of the second driving mechanism 110 and in the other direction (Counterclockwise) rotation of the first driving mechanism 20 sequentially proceeds in accordance with a predetermined time, and the first driving mechanism 20 rotates in the clockwise direction, the second driving mechanism 20 rotates in the other direction (clockwise direction) Such sequential operation of the first driving mechanism 20 and the second driving mechanism 110 can be easily performed by constructing a driving circuit such as a timer circuit, for example, in a control board (not shown) It is possible to easily implement the driving circuit by applying the sensor for detecting the position of the driving shaft 30, the platform 40, the lifting tee 50 and / or the golf ball 2, The control technology of the present invention can be selected and applied according to the present invention And therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and so on, the golf ball tie-up apparatus 1 according to the present invention is a golf ball up- And may include a transfer device 200. The transfer device 200 is not particularly limited as long as it is an apparatus capable of transferring the golf ball to the push device 100 in timing.

The transfer device 200 may include a transfer path 210 and a transfer member 220.

The transfer path 210 is a passage through which the golf ball introduced into the inlet 13a formed on the front surface 13 of the housing 10 is naturally rolled to the front of the platform 40, And a stop plate 212 for stopping the progress of the golf ball 2 in front of the platform 40 and an inclined surface 211 for allowing the platform 20 to naturally rotate from the inlet 13a to the platform 40. [ In the illustrated embodiment, the feeding passage 210 having a rectangular cross section is separately provided on the upstream side of the housing 10 to prevent the right and left departure of the golf ball. However, it is not excluded that the feeding hole 210 is formed without being partitioned.

The golf ball supplied from a golf ball supply box (not shown) provided upstream of the golf ball tie-up apparatus 1 according to the present invention flows through the inlet port 13a, And then stops at the detent plate 212 after rolling down from the upstream side toward the downstream side along the inclined surface 211 of the stopper plate 210.

The feeding member 220 is rotatable in a range of a predetermined angle to the golf ball feeding path at a position upstream of the pushing device 100 in the housing 10, but can be installed in a home position if no external force is applied.

As shown, the conveying member 220 may include a stop 221, a working portion 222, and a blocking portion 223, and the conveying member 220 may include a fixed Can be integrally rotated in the range of angles.

9, the push member 120 is pivoted to a position for pushing up the golf ball 2 which has reached the front of the platform 40, For example, a rod-like portion that is rotated in the upstream direction (clockwise direction in the figure), which is a position for blocking the progress of the first golf ball 2 waiting on the first golf ball 211, The pushing member 120 is prevented from rolling down along the guide shaft 211 to stop the transportation of all the golf balls in the waiting state so that the pushing member 120 does not interfere with the waiting golf ball for pushing up the golf ball to be towed.

The acting portion 222 extends to the position where it interferes with the pivotal path of the push member 120 as, for example, a rod-like portion formed to extend at a predetermined angle toward the downstream side with respect to the stopper 221. When the pushing member 120 is pivoted to a position for pushing up the golf ball, the acting portion 222 is rotated to a position where the stopping portion 221 blocks the progress of the waiting first golf ball 2 9 (B), 9 (C) and 9 (D)), the pushing member 120 is forcibly rotated in the downstream direction (counterclockwise in the drawing) by the pushing member 120 retracting to a position not obstructing the feeding of the golf ball 2 E, F, G, and A) to cause the stop 221 to pivot to a position that allows the first pending golf ball 2 to be transported toward the push member 120.

5, 7, and the like, the lift member 123 in the form of a pin is protruded from both sides of the push member 120, and as the acting portion 222, This is an example in which the groove 222a is formed downward.

In the state where the stopper 221 is rotated in the upstream direction, the stopper 221 extends to approximately 2/3 of the height of the golf ball located upstream of the stopper 221, for example, When the push member 120 is rotated in the retracted position (clockwise in the drawing) after the golf ball is raised on the lifting tee 50, the lift portion 123 is inserted into the groove 222a and the push member 120 The transfer member 220 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by a predetermined angle so that the stopper 221 is also rotated counterclockwise at a predetermined angle to deviate from the transport path of the golf ball As a result, the first waiting golf ball is rolled down to the front of the platform 40, stops in front of the detent plate 212, and waits for the next tee-up.

The stopping portion 223 is a rod-like portion formed to extend at a predetermined angle to the upstream side of the stopping portion 221, and the stopping portion 221 is moved away from the feeding path of the golf ball, 211, as shown in E, F, G, and A of FIG. 9, only the first waiting golf ball is rolled down and the second and subsequent golf balls are rolled down So that only one golf ball is supplied in front of the push member 120.

That is, when the stop 221 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction to allow the first golf ball in the waiting state to proceed, at the same time, the stop 223 also rotates counterclockwise, So that the second and subsequent golf balls are blocked by the stopper 223 and can not be transported toward the push member 120 even though the stop 221 is pivoted to a position allowing the golf ball to be transported .

When the pushing member 120 rotates counterclockwise to tee up the golf ball, the pushing force of the pushing member 120 with respect to the acting portion 222 which has been forcibly rotated in the counterclockwise direction is lost, At the same time, the stopping portion 221 and the stopping portion 221 also rotate in the clockwise direction, so that the stopping portion 221 blocks the progress of the first golf ball in the waiting state On the other hand, the stopper 223 allows the second golf ball to be transported to allow the second golf ball to advance to the position adjacent to the first golf ball (FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C).

As described above, when the external force by the push member 120 is not applied, the transfer member 220 returns to the home position where the stopper 221 blocks the golf ball located at the upstream side from rolling down. The return-to-home configuration of the same conveying member 220 is not particularly limited.

As an example of the returning of the transferring member 220 to the home position, an elastic member 224 may be installed on the transferring member 220 to provide an elastic force to rotate the first waiting ball in a position to block the lowering of the first waiting ball, When the external force is applied by the pushing member 120, the elastic force of the elastic member 224 is overcome and the feeding member 224 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction And is turned clockwise.

Another example of returning the transfer member 220 to the home position can be performed by providing the center of gravity of the transfer member 220 to the direction in which the transfer member 220 is rotated in the clockwise direction, The feed member 220 is naturally pivoted to a position where the first golf ball is prevented from rolling down. When an external force is applied by the push member 120, the load is overcome and the feed member 220 is rotated counterclockwise .
