The present invention configured as described above first puts a predetermined number (100 or 200, etc.) of golf balls B into the inside of the loading box 10, and then operates the device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. The rotational force is transmitted to the shaft 220 through the gears 500 and 510 by the operation of the motor 400, and then the helical gear 210 connected to the shaft 220 rotates. The gear 210 rotates another helical gear 200 meshed with the upper portion to change the rotating direction.

Then, the helical gear 210 is connected through the shaft 60 to rotate the first helical gear 70 provided in the extension of the shaft 60, the first helical gear 70 is The rotational direction is switched while the second helical gear 80 rotates while being engaged with the second helical gear 80 in a different rotational direction.

Accordingly, the second helical gear 80 is coupled to the rotary shaft 90 installed in the vertical direction so that power is transmitted to the rotary shaft 90, and then the distribution plate 30 is connected to the bearing 31. It is connected to the rotating shaft 90 and is in a fixed state, and the rotating plate 20 provided on the upper portion rotates. This is because the rotating shaft 90 is passed through the boss member 21 is provided around the rotation plate 20 is also rotated at the same time in accordance with the rotation of the rotating shaft (90).

At the same time, an upper portion of the rotating plate 20 is provided with a stirring shaft 100 which is located inside the loading box 10, and the stirring shaft 100 rotates, and a plurality of circumferences of the stirring shaft 100 are provided. Two stirring members 110 are provided to stir the injected golf ball (B).

According to the stirring action, the golf ball B is inserted into the plurality of holes 22 formed along the circumferential direction of the rotating plate 20, and as the continuous rotation of the rotating plate 20 is performed, When any one of the golf ball B inserted into the discharge hole 32 and the hole 22 coincides, the golf ball B passes through the discharge hole 32. Then, the lower portion of the discharge hole 32, the guide tube 40 is installed in communication with the guide tube 40 is guided in one direction. The guide tube 40 extends and is formed in an inclined state to the feed gear 50 so that the golf ball B passing through the guide tube 40 is introduced into the side of the feed gear 50.

At this time, the feed gear 50 connected to the shaft 60 is in a rotating state so that the introduced golf ball (B) is introduced as shown in FIG. 5, and sequentially moves upward along the guide hole of the guide member 52. It is conveyed and placed in the upper end of the tee 900 which is close to the outlet of the guide hole. Then, this tee 900 will be in a state that can be hit by the golfer who wants to practice.

By the way, the golf ball (B) is irregular when it stays in the stacking box 10, the stirring member 110 in the transverse direction of each stirring shaft when the stirring shaft 100 rotates, is not flexible If not, in some cases, the golf ball (B) is caught between the stirring member 110 and the stacking box 10 occurs under a lot of load, the stirring member 110 and the stirring shaft 100, The motor unit 400 may be damaged. Therefore, the present invention, as shown in Figure 2 or 3, in order to prevent this phenomenon consists of three divided stirring shaft members 101, 102, 103 while holding the spring 120 therebetween. When the occurrence of the phenomenon as described above, the stirring member 120 by the elasticity of the spring 120 is to be prevented because the rotation operation in a flexible state.

After the golf ball B is supplied by the stopper means 54 provided on one side of the guide member 52 in the process until the golf ball B is supplied to the tee 900 for a predetermined time. The atmosphere is supplied smoothly.

That is, when the tee 900 is lowered, the stopper member 54c and the lower part of the tee 900 are caught and pulled down, so that the stop pin 54a is placed in the spring 54b. To discharge the golf ball (B) waiting to descend and descend, and at the same time the stop pin (54a) is raised by the elastic force of the spring (54b) in accordance with the rise of the tee (900) to the next ball (B) ) To put it on standby.

On the other hand, when the ball is not properly supplied due to an unexpected error during operation of the feed gear 50, it can be accommodated by the clutch means 300 to prevent damage to the device, as shown in FIG. As the shaft 60 rotates, the clutch bolt 310 provided at the end of the shaft 60 rotates, and on the other hand, the clutch bolt 310 is supported by the rotating clutch bowl 310 and formed at the end of the clutch bowl 310. The spring 340, whose tension is adjusted by the tension adjusting plate 320 screwed to the threaded portion, pushes the clutch plate 330 to feed the feed gear 50 sandwiched between the clutch bowl 310 and the clutch plate 330. To rotate. When the supply gear 50 is prevented from rotating due to the entanglement of the ball, the supply gear 50 has a force to stop the rotation, which is more than the adhesion generated by the force pushed by the spring 340. If large, the feed gear 50 sandwiched between the clutch bolt 310 and the clutch plate 330 is slipped to cut off the power to prevent damage to the device.

The loading box 10 is the inclined surface 11 is formed in the bottom is driven to the discharged position is that the injected ball can be discharged to the lower smoothly.

Here, since the rotational speed of the motor unit 400 is a low speed, the golf ball (B) at the moment when the hole 22 of the rotating plate 20 and the discharge hole 32 of the distribution plate 30 disposed below it coincide. There may occur a case where two to three are introduced without passing one by one. Therefore, the area of the hole 22 corresponding to the discharge hole 32 of the distribution plate 30 gradually decreases as the ball B descending later rotates the rotation plate 20, and thus the ball B The phenomenon occurs. This would put a lot of load on the power trains and cause damage to the equipment.

Therefore, in the present invention, the blocking piece 13 extends in the transverse direction at the bottom of the loading box 10, and the position of the blocking piece 13 is formed in the discharge hole 32 of the distribution plate 30 thereunder. Since it is located on the same line as the position, one or more balls B are not supplied. Therefore, unexpected occurrence of malfunction can be eliminated.

On the other hand, when all the balls are used up in the loading box 10 using all the balls supplied as described above, the collection and re-injection into the loading box 10 may be repeated and used as described above.

As above, the present invention can be easily installed in a golf practice range operated by manual line so that the ball can be supplied smoothly according to the desired number of strokes, and its use is very easy. Even if it catches it, the stirring shaft moves flexibly to prevent breakage of each component in advance, and it is a useful design having high applicability due to low installation cost.
