The basic configuration of the golf putting practice device of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, the main frame 10 having a golf ball transfer path 11 therein, and is installed on the upper surface of the main frame 10 and the hole cup 21 The side is movable and the top plate 20, the golf ball outlet 22 is fixed and formed, and is installed on one side of the main frame 10, the top plate angle adjusting means 30 for adjusting the inclination angle of the top plate 20 And a sensing means 50 for detecting a golf ball introduced into the hole cup 21 and operating a driving means 40 and a golf ball to the outlet 22 by the driving means 40. The technical means is provided by the conveying means 60, and the control means 70 for controlling a series of operations such as the sensing means 50, the driving means 40, the conveying means 60 and the like. do.

As shown in FIG. 1, an artificial turf (hereinafter referred to as a green surface) 23 having a condition similar to an actual green is installed on an upper surface of the upper plate 20, and a guide frame having a substantially 'ㅓ' shape at an edge thereof. 24 is installed.

That is, the guide frame 24 reinforces the top plate 20 while preventing the exposed portion of the artificial turf 23 and is formed higher than the top plate 20 so that the golf ball does not leave the green. For example, the front part is formed high and the middle part is formed gradually from the rear part to be formed to prevent the user's foot from being caught or interfere with the putter head when putting.

In addition, the front of the top plate 20, as shown in Figures 2a and 2b, the top tilt recognition device 90 is installed so that when the user adjusts the top plate angle adjusting device 30 with the naked eye to easily tilt the state of the top plate By being able to grasp, the user can practice putting while easily reading the inclination angle of the green surface, so that the user can effectively grasp the inclination on the green.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the main frame 10 that forms the basis of the apparatus is formed with a conveying path 11 extending from each other below the hole cup 21 and the discharge port 22, and the conveying path 11 is formed. The reverse flow prevention hole 12 is formed at the outlet 22 side of the furnace 11 to prevent the golf ball from flowing backward, and as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the hole cup 21 and the inlet of the transfer path 11 are provided. Between the golf ball inlet control device 91 is installed to prevent the golf ball from continuously coming in.

In addition, the bottom portion of the main frame 10, that is, the hole cup 21 and the bottom portion in the putting position direction, the foldable foot 13 is installed to practice putting in conditions such as uphill and downhill.

For example, the foldable foot 13 has a trapezoidal shape by bending a steel wire or a steel sheet, and is normally folded to be in close contact with the bottom of the main frame 10, and when the foot is extended, the hole cup and the putting position are increased to incline the slope. And downhill slope.

In addition, the support means 80 is installed on the upper surface of the main frame 10 and for supporting and rotating the upper plate 20 is fixed to the upper surface of the main frame 10, as shown in FIG. It consists of a lower frame 81 and an upper frame 83 orthogonal to the lower frame 81 and rotatably installed by the pivot shaft 82.

And the top plate 20 may be configured to be inclined to the hole cup 21 toward the golf ball is easily guided to the hole cup when putting. At this time, it is preferable to form a lower than the left and right inclined surface (R) in the center of the inclined top plate 20 and to install the inclined diaphragm (W) in the center.

For example, if the user's putter has a short distance, the putter may bring the ball to the putting position. However, if the putter passes the hole cup 21, the majority of the balls guided on the slope (R) are guided by the center plate. After being blocked by (W), it descends along the diaphragm (W) and enters the hole cup 21.

Meanwhile, the upper plate angle adjusting means 30 is installed between the main frame 10 and the upper plate 20 as shown in FIG. 5A, and allows the upper plate 20 to be rotatable using the pivot shaft P1 as a supporting point. A link 31, an socket holder 32 integrally formed with the link 31, and having a pin holder 32 a, and elastic to return linear movement of the rod 34 to one side of the link 31. The fixing bracket is installed on a spring 33, a fixing plate 38a for fixing the position of the elastic spring 33, and a fixing bracket 34a installed at a predetermined distance on one side of the main frame 10. A rod 34 freely rotated only within the 34a and having a fixing pin 38, 38 ′ which is fitted into the pin holder 32a and is capable of rotating left and right, and fixed at a predetermined distance on both sides of the rod 34. Fixing hole 39 in which a hole 39 'is drilled at a predetermined distance on both sides of the upper plate support plate 35, which is engaged with the link 31, respectively. And the wire 37 is wound symmetrically been connected, the control knob 36 at one side of the rod 34 is provided.

In order to fix the main frame 10 and the link 31 in the upper plate angle adjusting means 30, a plurality of connecting bolts after matching the screw holes formed in the lower part of the main frame 10 with the screw holes formed in the lower part of the link ( Fix to B).

In addition, the upper rotation shaft P1 of the link 31 is freely fixed to the upper plate support plate 35 and rotated integrally with the upper plate 20 on the upper plate support plate 35. In addition, the through hole 31a shown by the dashed-dotted line is formed in the lower part of the link 31, and the rod 34 in which the adjustment knob 36 was formed in one side is inserted so that back-and-forth movement and rotational movement are possible.

In addition, a wire 37 is wound around the rod 34 and connected to both fixing holes 39 of the upper plate support plate 20 and both fixing holes 39 ′ of the rod 34. At this time, the fixing of both wires 37 is fixed so as not to fall through the clip not shown. The directions of the wires 37 wound on both sides of the rod 34 are wound in opposite directions so that one side is wound and one side is unwound when the rod 34 rotates. In the through hole 31a of the link 31, a rod 34 having a fixing pin 38 and 38 'protruding from both sides of the center is inserted. At this time, between the fixing pin 38 'and the link 31 to be fixed through a spring installed in the fixing plate 38a, the fixing pin 38 of the link 31 is integrally formed on one side with the socket holder 32 and Configure to be combined. This coupling is fixed to the fixing pin 38 is fitted to the pin holder (32a).

Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the inclination of the upper plate 20, the left and right rotation while pushing the adjusting knob 36, the fixing pin 38 of the rod 34 exits the pin holder and the other compartment of the pin holder 32a When the wires 37 connected to both fixing holes 39 and 39 'are displaced and pulled together to adjust the inclination of the upper plate 20, and the force applied to the adjusting knob is removed, the fixing plate 38a is removed. The compressed elastic spring 33 is returned to its original state by the elastic force to fix the inclination of the upper plate 20 to form a constant inclination angle to achieve a tilt without shaking on both sides of the upper plate.

Therefore, the fixing bracket 34a has a substantially 'b' shape when viewed from the front, and has a male screw portion 34b of one end in an empty space of the fixing bracket 34a, and a rod having an adjusting knob 36 at the other end. 34 is installed to be free to rotate. 5b shows that the upper plate angle adjusting means 30 is installed between the main frame 10 and the upper plate 20 as another embodiment, and rotates the upper plate 20 to the left and right by supporting the pivot shaft P2. A first link 310 for enabling the second link, a second link 320 rotatably installed at a lower portion of the first link 310 with the hinge P3 as a supporting point, and the second link 320. The fixed rod 340 is formed integrally with the first rod 330 having a female screw portion 330a and a fixed bracket 340 installed at a predetermined distance on one side of the main frame 10. The second rod 350 freely rotated only and a male screw portion 350a is formed at one end of the second rod 350 to be screwed onto the female screw portion 330a of the first rod 330. The adjusting knob 360 is installed at the other end of the two rods 350. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the inclination of the upper plate 20, when the adjusting knob 360 is rotated left and right, the first rod 330 according to the linear movement of the male screw (350a) integrally formed on the second rod (350) The female thread portion of the) rotates linearly, and the rotation shaft P2 and the hinge P3 rotate with each other to adjust the inclination of the upper plate 20. The first link 310 and the second link 320 can be replaced by one link, and at this time, if the fixing bolt 340a of the fixing bracket 340 is fixed with an extra dimension, the same effect can be obtained. have. Accordingly, the fixing bracket 340 has a substantially 'ㅛ' shape when viewed from the front, and has a male screw portion 350a at one end in an empty space of the fixing bracket 340 and has an adjusting knob 360 at the other end. The rod 350 may be installed to freely rotate.

In addition, the aiming target 25 is displayed on the artificial turf 23 installed on the top plate 20. As shown in FIG. 1, several points are displayed in the longitudinal direction at the putting position and the hole cup 21 proximal position. The user can easily grasp the path of the ball as well as aiming the shot.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the sensing means 50 reaches the first detection sensor S1 for detecting the golf ball introduced into the hole cup 21 and the movement direction and the initial position of the transport port 65. And a second detection sensor S2 for stopping the operation of the driving means 40 and the electric motor 41 driven by the first detection sensor S1 toward the outlet 22. It consists of a third detection sensor (S3) for converting the direction of movement of the conveying means (60).

That is, the three sensing sensors have been described in the case of a micro switch. Each of the sensing sensors has a sensing line of a steel wire, and the contact of the micro switch is closed when a part to be detected is located at one end of the sensing line. Works to lose.

Accordingly, one end of the sensing line disposed in the first sensing sensor S1 is disposed to pass between the hole cup 21 and the outlet 22, and the sensing line disposed in the second sensing sensor S2 is a transport port 65. Exposed so that one end passes through the initial position portion of the transport, which is a position to stop the operation of the motor of the movement path of the piece 67 connected to the), and the sensing line disposed in the third detection sensor (S3) is discharge outlet 22 At the) side, the movement direction of the transportation port 65 is disposed at the position to be converted.

On the other hand, the sensing means is not limited to the micro-switch, the sensor can be used in various kinds, for example, it can be replaced by a proximity sensor.

In this case, since light is used, there is an advantage that the installation of the sensing line is omitted, but it is relatively expensive compared to the micro switch, and thus, the validity of the sensing line should be examined.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the golf ball transfer means 60 includes an electric motor 41 installed in the putting exerciser, a driving pulley 61 connected to the shaft of the electric motor 41, and the driving pulley. A drive wire 62 interlocked with the 61, a guide pulley 63 for guiding the drive wire 62, a loosening fixture 64 for fixing the guide pulley 63, and the drive wire 62 Consists of a transport port (65) connected to the), the central portion of the transport port 65 is provided with a tension spring (66) and the pressing piece (67) in the vertical direction on one side of the transport port (65), Two guide plates 68 located at one side of the transportation port 65 are installed larger than the transportation port 65 at a constant length, thereby preventing the spring 66 from being caught by the third detection sensor S3. The two guide plates 68 are driven along the surface of one side of the transportation path 11 to prevent the transportation port 65 from leaving the transportation path 11.

On the other hand, since the power of the electric motor 41 is transmitted to the transport port 65 by a wire, a constant tension must always be maintained in the drive wire 62. This action is performed by the tension spring 66 installed at the center of the transport port. Done.

In addition, the fixing bolt hole 64a is formed long in the oval shape as shown in FIG. 9 in the pulley fixture 64 in case the additional adjustment of the tension of the drive wire 62 is necessary.

Next, the transfer means and the transfer process of the golf ball as follows.

As shown by the imaginary line of FIG. 6, the initial state of the golf putting exerciser of the present invention is set to a state in which the transportation port 65 is completely moved toward the hole cup 21 in the transport path 11 and stopped.

Next, when the user puts the ball and the golf ball is put into the hole cup 21, as shown in FIG. 7A, the golf ball inlet control device 91 is in an open state, and the golf ball is shown in FIG. 7A. In addition, the sensing line of the first sensing sensor S1 is touched, and the control means 70 operates the driving means 40 by the 'on' operation of the sensing line.

Next, when the driving pulley 61 rotates simultaneously with the operation of the driving means 40, the driving wire 62 on the driving pulley 61 side is moved from the right to the left, and thus the driving port 65 is mounted. Since the wire 62 is moved from left to right, the transport port 65 is transported toward the outlet 22 together with the golf ball.

At this time, the third detection sensor (S3) detects that the transport port 65 approaches the outlet 22, and sends a detection signal to the control means 70, the control means 70 drive means ( The polarity of the current supplied to 40 is changed, and as the drive means 40 is reversed by the changed polarity, the transport port 65 is returned to the initial position.

For example, when the transport port 65 approaches the initial position again by the reverse rotation of the driving means 40, the transport port 65 is sensed by the second detection sensor S2 and the control means 70. Outputs a signal and stops the supply of current supplied to the drive means 40 by this signal, thereby stopping the transport port 65 in its original initial state. At this time, it is prevented by the stopper formed in the conveying path 11 to be out of the predetermined position by the inertia in the process of the transportation port 65 becomes the initial state.

If the putter is continuously put in the above state, the golf balls entering the hole cup 21 are stacked on the lower portion of the outlet 22 and exit from the outlet 22 one by one like bullets in the magazine.

At this time, in order to prevent the golf ball from continuously entering the hole cup 21, the golf ball inlet control device 91 installed between the hole cup 21 and the inlet of the transfer path 11 is temporarily blocked as shown in Figs. 7b and 7c. The transport port 65 is transferred to the third detection sensor S3, and the guide plate 68 protruding from the transport port 65 touches the third detection sensor S3, and the detection signal is controlled. It is transmitted to the means 70 to reverse the drive means 40.

Therefore, the transport port 65 is transferred to the initial position (S1 direction) by the reverse rotation of the drive means 40, so that the transport port 65 before the transport tool 65 touches the second detection sensor (S2). As the protruding piece 67 installed on the ground grounds one end of the inlet control device 91 and proceeds in the direction of the second detection sensor S2, the control means 70 detects this and draws in the golf ball of the first detection sensor. The control device 91 is operated to drive the state from FIG. 7B and FIG. 7C to FIG. 7A to draw the golf ball from the hole cup 21 to the transfer path 11.

Therefore, the training effect of putting through the putting exerciser according to the present invention will be maximized.

The content described above is shown and described with respect to a specific preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, but having a common knowledge in the technical field for the design within the scope of the invention It may be modified and supplemented by the user.

In this invention, the top plate of the putting position is fixed to the main frame while the inclination of the top plate of the hole cup side is adjusted so that the entire area of the green does not have the same inclination but is bent by torsion, which is similar to the actual green and has a high difficulty. A plane can be obtained and the aiming path of the ball can be easily identified by displaying the aiming target on the artificial turf.

In addition, the transfer of the golf ball into the hole cup is forcibly carried out through an open pipe-type transfer passage, and is automatically performed by each sensing unit and controller, so the operation is highly reliable and the putter ball has to be recovered manually. Discomfort will be eliminated, thereby reducing the time required for putting.

In this respect, there is an excellent effect that is convenient to use and maximizes the practice effect compared to the conventionally known putting exerciser.
