Description

Automatic recovery and supply device for golf ball in indoor golf practice range

The present invention relates to the automatic recovery and supply of the golf ball of the indoor golf practice range, and more specifically, to automate the entire process of recovering the ball and supplying the golf ball to the tee-up of the designated seat at each floor of the practice field where the golfer is located. By improving the structure of the golf course to reduce the cost, to simplify the processing by cumbersome manual work, and to reduce the manpower to provide an automated device for practicing a convenient golf strike action.

Conventionally, there is a semi-automatic feeding device for supplying the ball manually by the worker and supplying it manually to the golfer, or by supplying the collected ball to the caddy machine's storage container and automatic supplying device for the ball basket by coin. There was a problem in terms of waste or safety and cleanliness of the manpower, and when using the caddy machine, the worker must manually collect the ball and put it into the caddy machine, and the method of supplying the ball basket by the coin has a troublesome work. In addition, to improve the above problems to collect the ball hit the ball was washed and dried through a washing machine and a dryer and then collected by a horizontal or vertical transfer conveyor to collect the ball to the tee-up located in each plate, but the device is also recovered In the process of drying the dried ball with a dryer, it cannot be completely dried (less than 60% of drying efficiency), and the wet ball that is not completely dried is blown with a blower and transferred to the blower type conveying device through the guide tube. Dropping pressure (direct load) in the process of distributing the ball to the horizontal transfer conveyor that transfers the ball to the tee-up machine of each seat at each floor from the catching device located on the plate at the bottom. There is no device to control the noise, which causes a lot of noise, breaks the ball, and damages the drop hole. Since the process of transferring the ball to the tee-up in the horizontal transfer device embedded in the bottom of the turn at bat was not smooth, the machine operation was not smooth, so there were many problems due to frequent failures. In addition, when the above devices are buried at the bottom of the turn at the bottom of the plate, the building equipment is installed at the center of the turn at the bottom of each floor of the building, so the location is not appropriate, causing problems in terms of safety of the building structure and increasing construction costs. As the frame of the landfilling machine was cast, the repair was impossible until the frame was rusted and the floor was torn off.

The present invention was devised to solve such a problem. It is determined whether or not the ball hit from the designated batter comes from the first collecting tank to the second collecting tank and is contaminated by the sensor. The ball is washed by passing it between the nylon brush, which is resistant to moisture and has a good resilience, and the ball is dried by a strong blower and a drying heater by 95% or more to facilitate the ball transfer. By installing a pressure control device that adjusts the drop pressure (direct load) that is transferred to the public grade conveyors on each floor by the distributor, it eliminates noise and prevents damage to the ball and damage to the falling part that receives the ball. An asymmetric bearing is used to maintain the angle of inclination of the horizontal conveyor at a 3-degree angle for smooth transfer of the transferred ball to the tee-up machine. By installing the lower horizontal conveyor finished good for full automation of the recovery and supply of balls. In addition, the device is installed in the basement of the front end of the turntable part of each floor of the indoor golf course to increase the safety of the building structure and reduce the construction and maintenance costs. Repair was facilitated.

Referring to the configuration of the present invention by the accompanying drawings as follows.

The construction of the present invention is a horizontal conveyor (2) in which the ball hit the net (1a) or fall off the fairway (1), the primary collecting tank (3) for collecting the recovered ball, the secondary ball to the collected ball Primary vertical conveyor (6) to transfer to tank (4), washer (7) and dryer (7a), brush (7b), blower (7c), drying heater (7d) and sensing Sensor (5), secondary collecting tank (4), secondary vertical conveyor (10) for transferring the collected ball to the secondary collecting tank (8), secondary collecting tank (8), the ball collected at each floor Co-distributor 12 for conveying through the air supply hose 13 to the horizontal conveying conveyor 15 embedded in the bottom of the pressure control device 14 for controlling the drop pressure of the ball falling from the co-distributor 12, Consists of a horizontal conveying conveyor 15 for conveying the dispensed ball, a small conveyor 16 for conveying the ball conveyed by the horizontal conveying conveyor 15 to the automatic tee-up machine 11 and the automatic tee-up machine 11 have.

Referring to the operation of the present invention described above are as follows.

The golf ball hit from the designated batter hits the fairway (1) or the net (1a) and falls to more than 6 degrees of slope, and is transferred to the primary collecting tank (3) by a horizontal conveyor (2) or a tilting device for recovery. The ball collected in the tank (3) is transferred to the secondary collecting tank (4) when a ball-free signal is generated by the ball sensor (5) installed in the secondary collecting tank (4). The contaminated ball passes through the ramp and passes between the soles 7b driven by the chain of the washing machine 7, and is heat-treated by a direct heat drying method, and then dried by driving a fan of the drying heater 7d and the blower 7c. The ball collected in the secondary collecting tank (4) is automatically stopped by the ball sensor (5). In the tertiary collection tank (8) located at a higher position than the at-battery part, when the co-sensing sensor (9) detects no ball and a signal is generated, the secondary collection tank (8) by the secondary vertical conveyor (10). Ball is transported. When the automatic tee-up machine 11 installed on each floor of the indoor golf course is operated, the ball is dropped to each floor through the 50Ø ball supply hose 13 by the air distributor 12 attached to the tertiary collection tank 8. The pressure is released by installing a pressure controller 14 on each floor at the bottom of each supply hose 13 to control the drop pressure of the falling ball. The dropped balls are supplied to a public grade horizontal conveyor 15 buried at the front end of each turn at the foot of the building, and the supplied balls are transported while being aligned in a row on a conveyor belt 15a inclined at about 3 degrees by an asymmetric bearing. It is supplied to the automatic tee-up machine 11 via the small conveyor 17 through the empty discharge port 15b installed in the frame of the horizontal conveyor 15. At this time, the remaining ball during the conveyance of the horizontal conveyor (15) is collected by the recovery device to the primary collecting tank (3) again.

In this way, the present invention is fully automated by the control of the computer from the recovery of the golf ball to the supply, so that convenient hitting practice can be performed. Especially, the golf ball is automatically recovered and transported, while improving the washing and drying effect of the ball. The entrance and exit control of the ball by the unmanned sensor, the control of the drop pressure of the ball, the smooth transfer to the automatic tee-up by the horizontal transfer conveyor, and the embedding position of the horizontal transfer device can enhance the safety of the building structure as the front end of the plate. It is a very useful automatic golf ball recovery and supply device for indoor golf practice range that can reduce construction cost and maintenance cost.
