The technical features, contents, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof, can be understood by the present inventors, and the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The subject matter is only for the purpose of illustration and supplementary description. It is not necessarily the true proportion and precise configuration after the implementation of the present invention. Therefore, the scope and configuration relationship of the attached drawings should not be limited to the scope of patent application of the present invention. Narration.

[0022]

The embodiments of the golf ball detecting system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the related drawings. For the sake of understanding, the same components in the following embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0023]

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a system block diagram of a first embodiment of a golf ball detection system in accordance with the present invention. As shown, the golf ball detection system 100 of the present invention detects the position of the golf ball 200 and prompts the detection result. The golf detection system 100 includes a detection module 110 including at least one detection unit 111a. The detection unit 111a detects the golf ball having the radio frequency tag 210 in the area of the corresponding detection unit 111a by using the radio frequency identification method. The detection module 110 sends a signal according to the detection result of the detection unit 111a; the processing module 120 is electrically connected to the processing module 120 of the detection module 110, and the processing module 120 processes the signal from the detection module 110. And re-issuing the signal according to the processing result of the signal from the detecting module 110; and the prompting module 130 electrically connected to the processing module 120, the prompting module 130 generates a prompt signal according to the signal from the processing module 120 to the system. By.

[0024]

Specifically, one or more detecting units 111a may be disposed in a golf course. The detecting unit 111a and the processing module 120 can be configured to determine that the golf ball stays in each detecting area corresponding to each detecting unit 111a: for example, each detecting unit 111a can be configured to detect several times in a certain period of time, and the processing is performed. The module 120 can be configured to receive the signal of the presence of the golf ball 200 a certain number of times before confirming that the golf ball 200 is in a detection area corresponding to a detecting unit 111a. More specifically, each detecting unit 111a can be configured to detect 30 times per second, and the processing module 120 can be configured to receive the signal from the detecting unit 111a 30 times per second, when the processing module 120 receives Sixty times of the golf ball 200 signal, it is confirmed that the golf ball 200 stays in a detection area corresponding to a detecting unit 111a; when the golf ball 200 takes 0.5 seconds to fly or roll over a detecting unit 111a In one of the detection areas, the detection module 110 sends the signal of the detection area to the processing module 120 15 times, and after 0.5 seconds, the golf ball 200 flies out or rolls out of the detection unit. In the detection area corresponding to the 111a, the detection module 110 sends the signal to the processing module 120. The golf ball 200 no longer exists in the detection area, because the processing module 120 only receives the golf ball 200 for 15 times. The detection module 120 determines that the golf ball does not stay in the detection area corresponding to the detection unit 111a; relatively speaking, when the golf ball 200 stays in the detection unit 111a corresponding to the detection Detection when the area is more than two seconds The module 110 sends more than sixty times of the golf ball 200 to the processing module 120. Since the processing module 120 receives more than sixty golf balls 200, the detection area has a signal, so the processing module 120 determines that the golf ball 200 stays in the detection area corresponding to the detecting unit 111a. Therefore, the golf ball detection system 100 of the present invention can determine the resting position of the golf ball 200.

[0025]

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a structural diagram of a detecting unit of a first embodiment of a golf ball detecting system according to the present invention. The detection unit 111a of the detection system 110 includes a radio frequency reader 1111 that implements a radio frequency identification method to detect the radio frequency tag 210 on the golf ball 200; a bottom plate 1112 disposed under the radio frequency reader 1111; a side wall 1113 disposed around the bottom plate 1112 and including a metal for shielding the RF signal; and a top plate 1114 covering the side wall 1113; wherein the bottom plate 1112 and the top wall 1113 form an inner space with the top plate 1114 to accommodate the radio frequency reader 1111. In order to realize the above-mentioned use of the radio frequency identification method to detect the golf ball, the top plate 1114 of the detecting unit 111a can be made of a material that can penetrate the electromagnetic wave of the frequency of the radio frequency identification method, such as fiber reinforced polymer composite (FRP) or high. The molecular plastic material, and the side wall 1113 can include a material that can shield electromagnetic waves at a frequency of a radio frequency signal, such as a guided wave or filter material such as an aluminum alloy or a steel plate. On the other hand, the radio frequency tag 210 can be added at the time of making the golf ball 200 and covered by the outer casing of the golf ball 200, and the outer casing of the golf ball 200 can be penetrated by electromagnetic waves used in the radio frequency identification mode. When the golf ball 200 having the radio frequency tag 210 is located in the detection area of the detecting unit 111a, the radio frequency reader 1111 sends an electromagnetic wave signal of the radio frequency identification mode to the radio frequency tag 210 of the golf ball 200, and the radio frequency tag 210 is After receiving the signal, the signal including the message of the radio frequency tag 210 is sent back to the radio frequency reader 1111, and then the processing module 120 determines, according to the detection result, the golf ball 200 with the radio frequency tag 210 in the detecting unit. In the detection area of 111a, the position of the specific golf ball 200 can be discriminated through the specific radio frequency tag 210.

[0026]

3A and 3B are schematic views of a comparative embodiment of the prior art and the present invention. As shown in the figure, three golf balls 200A, 200B and 200C are respectively located near the boundary between the detection areas 1111a and 1111b of the radio frequency readers 1111A and 1111B of the detecting unit in FIG. 3A, or in FIG. 3B. In the vicinity of the boundary between the detection areas 1111c and 1111d of the radio frequency readers 1111C and 1111D, the inner area of the dotted line is the effective detection area of the radio frequency reader.

[0027]

Specifically, FIG. 3A shows the case of the prior art. There are no metal shielding the RF signal around the RF readers 1111A and 1111B, but a general material through which the RF signal can penetrate. In this way, when the three golf balls 200A, 200B and 200C are located at the overlap of the detection areas 1111a and 1111b of the radio frequency readers 1111A and 1111B, the radio frequency readers 1111A and 1111B will read three. The radio frequency tags on the golf balls 200A, 200B, and 200C may cause the processing module 120 to fail to determine the position of the golf balls 200A, 200B, and 200C. Even if the processing module 120 is configured to have more than two radio frequency readers reading the same radio frequency tag at the same time, it is determined that the golf ball is located in the intersection area of the corresponding areas of the radio frequency readers, and The intersection area is too large to make the position determination of the golf ball fuzzy and inaccurate, for example, it is determined that the three golf balls 200A, 200B, and 200C are located at the same place. In contrast, in the case of the present invention, after the side wall of the detecting unit includes the metal that can shield the RF signal, the RF signals sent by the RF readers 1111C and 1111D pass through the detecting unit. After the wall is shielded, the detection areas corresponding to the radio frequency readers 1111C and 1111D are limited to directly above the detection unit to which they belong. As a result, the golf ball 200A will only be read by the radio frequency reader 1111C, the golf ball 200C will only be read by the radio frequency reader 1111D, and the golf ball 200B located at the boundary will still be radio frequency. The readers 1111C and 1111D read, but at this time, the intersection areas of the detection areas 1111c and 1111d of the radio frequency readers 1111C and 1111D are small, and after being set by the processor, the golf ball 200B can be more accurately determined. The location.

[0028]

Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic structural diagram of a detecting unit 111b according to a second embodiment of the golf ball detecting system of the present invention. As shown, the side wall 1113 can further comprise a composite material comprising a metal that can shield the RF signal. For example, the side wall 1113 in FIG. 2 includes a metal layer 1113a and a rubber layer 1113b that can shield the RF signal.

[0029]

Preferably, the side wall 1113 can comprise a composite material to make the use of the overall detection unit 111b more flexible. As shown in the structure of the detecting unit 111b in the above FIG. 2, the side wall 1113 may include two rubber layers 1113b and a metal layer 1113a covered by the rubber layer 1113b, and the rubber layer 1113b provides a protective function to the metal layer 1113a. In this way, the metal layer 1113a can be isolated from the external space, thereby preventing the intrusion of external moisture or the like to deteriorate the structural strength or the RF signal shielding function of the metal layer 1113a, thereby extending the service life of the overall system.

[0030]

Please refer to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, which are structural diagrams of the top plate 1114 of the detecting unit 111c of the third embodiment of the golf ball detecting system according to the present invention, which are not opened and the top plate 1114 is opened. As shown, the detecting unit c may further include a ball space 1118 located in the inner space formed by the bottom plate 1112, the side wall 1113 and the top plate 1114, and used for collecting the golf ball 200 falling on the detecting unit 111c; and the top plate 1114 It is physically coupled to the side wall 1113 or the bottom plate 1112 and electrically coupled to the processing module 120 for controlling the movable top movable member 1117 of the top plate 1114. In this figure, the top movable member 1117 includes a rotating shaft 1117a and a movable bracket 1117b, and the detecting unit 111c may have a single column.

[0031]

Specifically, the detecting unit 111c can not only have the function of detecting the position of the golf ball 200, but also has the function of automatically collecting the golf ball 200 on the top plate 1114 of the detecting unit 111c. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the top plate 1114 can be rotated on the rotating shaft 1117 by the movable bracket 1117b of the top movable member 1117, so that the top plate 1114 is in an unopened state (Fig. 5A) or opened (Fig. 5B). . In a state where the top plate 1114 is opened, the golf ball 200 can be rolled down along the slope formed by the top plate 1114, and finally reaches the collecting space 1118 inside the detecting unit 111c to be collected, and the golf ball 200 in the collecting space 1118 can be thereafter After other methods, it is collected again. In addition, the top movable member 1117 can also be electrically connected to the processing module 120, so that the processing module 120 can control the activity of the top movable member 1117 to thereby control the opening and closing of the top plate 1114.

[0032]

Please refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B, which are structural diagrams of the top plate 1114 of the detecting unit 111d of the fourth embodiment of the golf ball detecting system according to the present invention, which are not opened and the top plate 1114 is opened. The detecting unit 111d of the fourth embodiment is similar to the detecting unit 111c of the third embodiment, except that the top movable member 1117 instead includes a sliding cassette 1117c, a slide rail 1117d, and a movable bracket 1117e.

[0033]

Specifically, the opening and closing manner of the detecting unit 111c of the third embodiment is such that when the detecting unit is not a square column, but is, for example, a hexagonal column or a fan-shaped column, the top plate 1114 may catch the side wall 1113 during the opening process. The inside is not easy to use. Thus, the top plate of the detection unit of the hexagonal column or the sector column can be opened and closed in the manner of this embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the movable member 1117 includes a sliding cassette 1117c, a slide rail 1117d and a movable bracket 1117e. The slide rail 1117d may be a groove provided in the side wall 1113, and the slide cassette 1117c is disposed to correspond to the slide rail 1117d. Sliding, and the top end of the movable bracket 1117e coupled to the top plate 1114 can be moved to shorten or elongate. Referring again to FIG. 5A, in a state in which the top plate 1114 is not opened, the movable bracket 1117e is in a shortened state and the top plate 1114 is pulled so as not to move along the slide rail 1117d, and the sliding click 1117c is at a higher point of the slide rail 1117d. Referring to FIG. 5B again, the top plate 1114 is in an open state. At this time, the movable bracket 1117e is extended to push one side of the top plate 1114 upward. At this time, the sliding cassette 1117c moves along the slide rail 1117d to the low point top, and the board 1114 is another. One side is thereby moved downward to open the integral top plate 1114, and the golf ball 200 can fall into the ball collecting space 1118.

[0034]

Please refer to FIGS. 7A and 7B, which are structural diagrams of the top plate 1114 of the detecting unit 111e of the fifth embodiment of the golf ball detecting system according to the present invention, which are not opened and the top plate 1114 is opened. As shown, the fifth embodiment is similar to the third embodiment except that the top plate 1114 is divided into two portions, and each portion has a corresponding shaft 1117a and a movable bracket 1117b of the corresponding top movable member 1117.

[0035]

Specifically, the top plate 1114 can be divided into two or more portions, and each portion of the top plate 1114 has a top movable member 1117 that can control the portion, which can automatically be used although more driving means are required. The detection unit that can be applied to the opening and closing structure is more widely used. In the fifth embodiment in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the top plate 1114 is divided into two parts, and the operation mode is basically the same as that of the third embodiment, except that when the top cover 1114 of the detecting unit 111e of this embodiment is opened. (As shown in Fig. 7B), the gap in which the golf ball 200 opens between the two portions of the top plate 1114 rolls off the ball space 1118.

[0036]

Referring to FIG. 8, the golf ball detection system may further include a total ball space 140 spatially coupled to each of the detecting units and used to further collect all of the golf balls that fall on the detecting module. As shown in the figure, the bottom of the collecting space 1118 of each detecting unit (the detecting unit 111e of FIGS. 6A and 6B is taken as an example) may be sloped, and the bottom plate 1112 of the detecting unit 111e has a bottom plate passage 1112a. The ball space 1118 of the detecting unit 111e can be spatially connected to the bottom total ball space 140.

[0037]

Specifically, when the golf ball detection system includes the total ball space 1118, the golf ball 200 originally collected by the detecting unit in the collecting space 1118 can be further collected by the total collecting space 140 in a predetermined manner, thus The subsequent recovery of the golf ball 200 will be made easier by a pneumatic method using a fan or by forming a slope shape at the bottom of the ball space 1118 as shown in Fig. 8 so that the golf ball 200 can be gravity-driven. The bottom plate passage 1112a of the bottom plate 1112 falls into the total ball space 140. In addition, since the golf ball 200 automatically falls into the total collection space 140 after entering the collection space 1118, the radio frequency reader 1111 does not read the golf ball 200 that has fallen into the total collection space 140. After the processing module 120 sets the wireless RF reader 1111 to read a certain number of golf balls 200, the top movable member 1117 is opened to the top plate 1114. In this way, when a certain number of golf balls 200 are accumulated on the detecting unit 111e, the top plate is opened to let the golf ball 200 fall into the collecting space 1118 and then fall into the total collecting space 140, so that the detecting unit 111e does not It will accumulate too many golf balls and further realize the function of automatically collecting the golf ball 200.

[0038]

Please refer to FIG. 9, which is a cross-sectional view of a different embodiment of the detecting unit 111a of the seventh embodiment of the golf ball detecting system according to the present invention. As shown, the detecting unit 111f may further include a waterproof layer 1115 and a turf 1116. The waterproof layer 1115 is laid on the top plate 1114 and can be penetrated by the electromagnetic wave of the frequency of the radio frequency identification method; the turf 1116 is laid on the waterproof layer 1115, and can be penetrated by the electromagnetic wave of the frequency of the radio frequency identification method to beautify the detection. The appearance of the module 111f.

[0039]

The detecting unit 111f can have different implementations depending on the needs of use. Specifically, since the golf course is generally covered by the turf, in view of the aesthetic problem, it is desirable to embed the detecting unit 111f to conform to the surroundings, so that the turf 1116 can be attached above the top plate 1114. Turf 1116 may be artificial turf or natural turf depending on the site and use. In addition, considering that the moisture generated by the turf 1116 or the dew formed may damage the metal in the radio frequency reader 1111 and the side wall 1113, a waterproof layer 1115 may be added between the turf 1116 and the top plate 1114 to protect the radio frequency reader. The metal in 1111 and side wall 1113 is not affected by moisture or moisture.

[0040]

Furthermore, the number of detection units can be plural and can form a geometric array.

[0041]

In particular, each detection unit 111a can be combined or side by side to form a geometric array in the field, thereby enhancing the interest in golf tournaments or practice. It is worth mentioning that in addition to forming a geometric array, each detection unit can be patched into various shapes to make it more like a general green. In addition, in the general golf driving range, only the approximate number of hitting balls is provided to the hitter, and the hitter is not accurately informed of the flying distance of the hit golf ball and the rolling distance after landing. In contrast, the present invention can accurately determine the distance from the ball landing point to the ball striking position and the rolling distance after landing, so that the player can know the ball condition more accurately. More specifically, the position of the radio frequency reader 1111 of the present invention in the detecting unit 111a can be set corresponding to the detection range of the radio frequency reader 1111, so that the reading range of the radio frequency reader 1111 is just right. Above the top plate 1114, the golf ball is not read when flying in the air, but is read when scrolling on the ground, and the detecting unit 111a that first reads the golf ball can It is determined that it is the place where the golf ball is dropped, and the result of the golf ball being read by each detecting unit 111a can be processed by the processing module 120 to display the trajectory of the golf ball rolling.

[0042]

Please refer to FIG. 10, which is a top view of a geometric array formed by the combined detection unit of the eighth embodiment of the golf ball detection system of the present invention. At this time, the appearance of the detecting unit 111a may be a rectangular cylinder, and the transverse cross section of the rectangular cylinder is square, whereby a rectangular array can be formed by the plurality of detecting units 111a as the geometric array described above. The golf ball detection system in this embodiment is similar to the golf ball detection system 100 described above, and therefore will not be described herein.

[0043]

Please refer to FIG. 11 , which is a top view of a geometric array formed by the combined detection unit of the ninth embodiment of the golf ball detection system of the present invention. At this time, the appearance of the detecting unit 111a may be a cylinder, and the transverse cross section of the cylinder is a fan shape, whereby a plurality of detecting units 111a can form a concentric circular array as the geometric array described above. The golf ball detection system in this embodiment is similar to the golf ball detection system 100 described above, and therefore will not be described herein.

Please refer to FIG. 12, which is a top view of a geometric array formed by the combined detection unit of the tenth embodiment of the golf ball detection system of the present invention. At this time, the appearance of the detecting unit 111a may be a hexagonal cylinder, and the horizontal cross section of the hexagonal cylinder is hexagonal, whereby a honeycomb array can be formed by the plurality of detecting units 111a as the geometric array described above. The golf ball detection system in this embodiment is similar to the golf ball detection system 100 described above, and therefore will not be described herein.

[0045]

Further, when the radio frequency tag of the golf ball is read by the radio frequency reader of two or more detection units, the processing module determines that the golf ball is located in two or more detection units. On the boundary of the corresponding area.

[0046]

Specifically, in the processing module 120, when the golf ball 200 is read by the radio frequency reader 1111 of two or more detecting units, it is determined that the golf ball 200 is located in the two or more At the boundary of the detection unit. Since the side wall 1113 of the detecting unit includes a metal that can shield the RF signal, the detecting area of each detecting unit is almost directly above, that is, even if two or more detecting units are arranged side by side or form a geometric array, The intersection area of the detection areas between the detection units will also be small. Therefore, the position of the golf ball 200 determined at the boundary can be determined with considerable accuracy, whereby the accuracy of the golf ball detection system 100 can be further improved.

[0047]

Further, the lift module 130 can include a display screen, and the screen displays a top view of the detection unit distributed in the field, such as a top view of the geometric arrays of Figures 10, 11 and 12. When the golf ball 200 having the specific radio frequency tag 210 is detected by the detecting unit through the detecting unit, the corresponding detecting unit is marked in the top view on the screen, and the golf ball 200 passes through the next detecting. After the detection unit is detected, the corresponding detection unit is marked on the screen, and so on. In this way, the general planar motion trajectory of the golf ball 200 having the specific radio frequency tag 210 can be known from the marking condition of the top view of the on-screen detecting unit, thereby correcting the hitting of the hitter or giving a game or game. Score. This trajectory can be stored in the golf ball detection system, and when there are multiple golf balls 200 moving at the same time, the plane trajectory of the specific golf ball 200 can also be displayed according to the specific radio frequency tag 210.
