GOLF BALL AUTOMATIC SUPPLY DEVICE OF GOLF DRIVING RANGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly supply and discharge balls by forming a ball storage part having a supply passage from an external ball supply device further on a ball storage part, forming a part of its discharge port peripheral part as a vibrating plate, and vibrating it together with a discharge chute. ;SOLUTION: When a prepaid card is inserted into an inserting port, golf balls are supplied to an upper ball storage part from a ball supply pipe 16. When a motor of a lower casing 1 is actuated, a pin 6 rotates, and moves in a cam 5, and vertically moves a vibrating plate 4. It suddenly rises in a part of a step part 5a, and imparts impact to a discharge chute 2, and a ball bridge in the vicinity of a discharge port 3 is released, and the balls in a lower storage part are discharged in a row to the discharge chute 2 from the discharge port 3. At this time, a vibrating plate 15 of an upper casing 10 is also simultaneously thrust up by a bending part 7, and vertically vibrates. Therefore, a ball bridge in the vicinity of a discharge port 12 of the upper casing 10 is also released, and the balls in the upper storage part are smoothly supplied to the lower storage part.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
