- the concave side of the lever 26 opens against the outlet mouth 22 of the storage device 20 back.
- the radius of curvature of the concave top of the crescent lever 26 may correspond to the radius or diameter of a ball 19.
- a slot-shaped opening 35 is executed, which is the input part 12 of the accelerator device 1 partially upstream and partially within this inlet section 12.
- This slot 35 is straight and its longitudinal direction coincides with the central axis MA of the accelerator 1.
- the tilting lever 26 is designed as a two-armed lever, wherein the tilting axis 24 of such a lever 26 is located approximately in the middle of its length.
- This tilting axis 24 is mounted on the underside of the upper housing part 3 by means of bearing blocks 34. These stand from the bottom of the upper housing part 3 from practically at right angles.
- the second arm 29 of the lever 26 is located substantially below the upper housing part. 3
- the first arm 28 of the lever 26 passes through the slot 35 in the upper housing part 3 and it protrudes from the slot 35.
- the free end portion 33 of the first lever arm 28 is above the upper housing part 3 and it is intended for direct action on the ball 19 to convey this to the accelerator device 1.
- the free end portion 33 thereof has a corner portion which would rest on the ball 19.
- this sharp edges having corner portion 33 of the free arm end 33 could damage the surface of the ball 19.
- this sharp corner part could cause a delay in the conveyance of the ball to the accelerator 1, depending on how much the ball 19 is inflated.
- the ball 19 facing edge the free end 33 of the first lever arm 28 with a plate 44 (FIG. Fig.
- This plate 44 is at right angles to the main plane of the lever 26. On the other hand, this impact plate 44 is inclined relative to the surface of the ball 19 so that it rests as large as possible on the surface of the ball 19 when the ball 19 is conveyed by the lever 26 to the accelerator device 1.
- the plate 44 has a rectangular outline and it is advantageously welded at the free end 33 of the first lever arm 28 centrally.
- the dispenser 25 also includes means 30 for actuating the tiltable lever 26 (FIG. Fig. 3 ).
- This actuator 30 is in the illustrated case, an electric lifting cylinder 31. However, this actuator 30 may also be designed as a hydraulic cylinder.
- the connected to the armature of the solenoid 30 at one end piston rod 32 is connected at the other end to the second arm 29 of the tilting lever 26.

- the second leg 39 of the profiles 36 and 37 is perpendicular to the upper part 3.
- the distance between the second legs 39 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 19 so that it can rest on the upper edges of the second leg 39.
- the present device also includes a control device 60, which may be attached to the guide bracket 57, for example.
- This device 60 is designed to control the operation and cooperation of the individual devices of the present device.
- This control device 60 contains circuits which control the speed of the Electric motors 39 and 40 can control each other independently. This results in different speeds of the belt sets 10 in the acceleration units 6 and 7, whereby one can achieve a deviation of the trajectory of the ball 19 from the central axis MA of the accelerator 1.
- Such circuits could also be programmable, eliminating the need for manual operation of such control circuits.
- such circuits can also work on a random basis.
- the control device 60 also includes circuits which are connected to the lifting magnet 30. Such circuits send pulses to the solenoid, which provides the carriage of the balls 10 by means of the rocker arm 26 to the accelerator device 1. Such circuits may also operate at random, so that they send control pulses to the solenoid 30 at irregular intervals while the belt sets 10 are running without interruption. This ensures that the balls 19 reach the accelerator 1 at irregular intervals and then leave them.
- the tilting lever 26 is in its substantially horizontal position, so that the free end portion 33 of the first lever arm 28 is in its lower position.
- the distance between this free end portion 33 of the first lever arm 28 and the dispensing opening 22 of the storage device 20 is at least as large as the diameter of the ball 19.
- the ball 19 to be transported soon rests on the plate 44 on this free end portion 33 of the ball first lever arm 28 is attached.
- the soon to be carried ball 19 rests on the edges of the vertical legs 39 of the L-rails 36 and 37 (FIG. Fig. 3 ). The next ball 19 is still in the storage device 20 and it rests on this soon to be transported ball 19.
- the control device 60 sends a signal to the electromagnet 30. This pulls the piston rod 32 back, so that the second and lower lever arm 29 is pulled down jerkily. This has the consequence that the first lever arm 28 of the two-armed lever 26 is moved upwardly jerkily.
- the support plate 44 on the first lever arm 28 jumps on an arcuate path from right to left ( Fig. 1
- the ball 19 between the inner Trumme 108 of the belt 101 to 103 of the belt 101 to 103 of the acceleration units 6 and 7 is taken laterally, taken on the Speed of these inner Riementrumme 108 of 101 accelerated and thrown in the direction of movement BR from the device.
- the speed of forward movement of the free lever end 33 can even be adjusted so that there is a relatively small difference between the speed of the conveyed ball 19 and the speed of the run 108 of the belt set 10 with which the ball 19 in the accelerator 1 comes into contact.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Werfen von Bällen, mit einer Vorrichtung zur Beschleunigung der Bälle.The present invention relates to a device for throwing balls, with a device for accelerating the balls.
Einrichtungen dieser Gattung sind bereits bekannt. Eine dieser Einrichtungen schleudert den Ball mittels eines Schlagarms, welcher auf einer horizontalen Kreisbahn beschleunigt wird, nach dem Auftreffen des Schlagarms auf den Ball aus einer Halterung. Der Schlagarm wird hierbei mittels einer Schwungmasse in einer Kreisbewegung gehalten und wird, wenn er einen Ball schleudern soll, in die entsprechende Position geschwenkt, damit der Schlagarm in dieser aktiven Schlagstellung den Ball aus seiner Halterung herausschlagen kann.Facilities of this type are already known. One of these devices hurls the ball by means of a striking arm, which is accelerated on a horizontal circular path, after the impact arm hits the ball from a holder. The impact arm is held in this case by means of a flywheel in a circular motion and, if it is to hurl a ball, pivoted into the appropriate position so that the striking arm can knock the ball out of its holder in this active impact position.
Als nachteilig gilt bei diesen vorbekannten Einrichtungen, dass die Wurfgenauigkeit und die Wurfweite nicht präzis genug voreingestellt werden können, weil die Beschaffenheit, d.h. die Elastizität des Balls einen grossen Einfluss auf das Herausschlagen des Balls aus der Halterung und damit auch die Flugeigenschaften hat.A disadvantage of these prior art devices that the throwing accuracy and the throwing distance can not be pre-set precisely enough because the nature, i. The elasticity of the ball has a great impact on the ball knocking out of the holder and thus the flight characteristics.

Diese Tragplatte 47 weist ebenfalls eine Randpartie 48 auf, welche zum übrigen Teil der Tragplatte 47 rechtwinklig und hochkant steht, sodass diese Randpartie 48 zur Randpartie 46 der Verstärkungsplatte 11 praktisch parallel verläuft. Die Spannvorrichtung 45 umfasst schliesslich auch eine Schraube 49, welche in der Randpartie 46 der Verstärkungsplatte 11 eingeschraubt ist und deren innenliegendes Ende an der Aussenseite der Randpartie 48 der Tragplatte 47 aufliegt. Mittels dieser Schraube 49 können der Abstand zwischen den Achsen A1 und A2 der Wellen 41 und 43 der Beschleunigungseinheit 6 bzw. 7 und somit auch die Spannung in den Riemen 101 bis 103 eingestellt werden.The
Die Riemen 101 bis 103 der Beschleunigungseinheiten 6 und 7 weisen je ein innen liegendes Trumm 108 und ein aussen liegendes Trumm 109 auf. Als innen liegend gilt jenes Trumm 108, welches der anderen Beschleunigungseinheit 6 bzw. 7 gegenübersteht. Der Ball 19 steht mit dem innen liegenden Trumm 108 der Beschleunigungseinheiten 6 und 7 in Eingriff. Der Abstand zwischen den innen liegenden Trumms 108 der Beschleunigungseinheiten 6 und 7 entspricht dem Durchmesser eines Balles 19, beispielsweise eines Fussballs. Dieser Abstand muss jedoch etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser des Balles 19 sein, damit die Rücken 106 der Riemen 101 bis 103 einen so hohen Druck auf den Ball 19 ausüben können, dass der Ball 19 auf den Deckflächen 107 der Riemen 101 bis 103 während der Beschleunigung desselben nicht zurückrutscht.The
Zur Erleichterung der Zuführung der Bälle 19 zur Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 verlaufen die Beschleunigungseinheiten 6 und 7 nicht parallel zueinander, wie dies in
Die vorliegende Einrichtung umfasst ferner auch eine Vorrichtung 20 für die Aufnahme eines Vorrats an Bällen 19 (
Der Behälter 21 weist einen gekrümmten, vorteilhaft einen bananenförmigen Verlauf auf, wobei die vertikale Achse der Austrittsmündung 22 in eine praktisch horizontale Achse des Einfüllbereichs 23 des Behälters 21 übergeht. Die Vorratsvorrichtung 20 ist gegenüber der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 in einer horizontalen Ebene und um die vertikale Achse der Austrittsmündung 22 schwenkbar ausgeführt.The container 21 has a curved, advantageously a banana-shaped course, wherein the vertical axis of the
Weiterhin ist eine Vorrichtung 25 vorgesehen, welche die der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 entnommenen Bälle 19 an die Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 abgeben kann. Diese Abgabevorrichtung 25 stellt das Verbindungsglied zwischen der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 und der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 dar. Die Abgabevorrichtung 25 umfasst einen kippbar gelagerten Hebel 26, welcher sich unterhalb der Austrittsmündung 22 der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 befindet. Der kippbare Hebel 26 hat im dargestellten Fall einen sichelförmig verlaufenden Grundkörper, wobei die Dicke dieses Hebels 26 kleiner ist als die Höhe desselben. Die konkave Seite des Hebels 26 öffnet sich gegen die Austrittsmündung 22 der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 hin. Der Radius der Krümmung der konkaven Oberseite des sichelförmigen Hebels 26 kann dem Radius bzw. Durchmesser eines Balles 19 entsprechen.Furthermore, a
Im Gehäuseoberteil 3 ist eine schlitzförmige Öffnung 35 ausgeführt, welche der Eintrittspartie 12 der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 teilweise vorgeschaltet ist und teilweise innerhalb dieser Eintrittspartie 12 liegt. Dieser Schlitz 35 verläuft geradlinig und seine Längsrichtung fällt mit der Mittelachse MA der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 zusammen. Der kippbare Hebel 26 ist als ein zweiarmiger Hebel ausgeführt, wobei sich die Kippachse 24 eines solchen Hebels 26 etwa in der Mitte seiner Länge befindet. Diese Kippachse 24 ist an der Unterseite des Gehäuseoberteiles 3 mittels Lagerböcke 34 gelagert. Diese stehen von der Unterseite des Gehäuseoberteils 3 praktisch rechtwinklig ab. Der zweite Arm 29 des Hebels 26 liegt im wesentlichen unterhalb des Gehäuseoberteils 3.In the
Der erste Arm 28 des Hebels 26 geht durch den Schlitz 35 im Gehäuseoberteil 3 hindurch und er ragt vom Schlitz 35 empor. Die freie Endpartie 33 des ersten Hebelarms 28 liegt oberhalb des Gehäuseoberteils 3 und sie ist zur unmittelbaren Einwirkung auf den Ball 19 bestimmt, um diesen zur Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 zu befördern. Wegen den genannten Abmessungen des Querschnitts des Hebels 26 weist die freie Endpartie 33 desselben eine Eckpartie auf, welche auf den Ball 19 aufliegen würde. Hierbei könnte diese scharfe Kanten aufweisende Eckpartie 33 des freien Armendes 33 die Oberfläche des Balls 19 beschädigen. Ausserdem könnte dies scharfe Eckpartie eine Verzögerung in der Beförderung des Balles zur Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 verursachen, und zwar in Abhängigkeit davon wie stark der Ball 19 aufgeblasen ist. Um Probleme dieser Art zu vermeiden, ist die dem Ball 19 zugewandte Kante des freien Endes 33 des ersten Hebelarmes 28 mit einer Platte 44 (
Die Abgabevorrichtung 25 umfasst auch ein Mittel 30 zur Betätigung des kippbaren Hebels 26 (
Je eine Schiene 36 bzw. 37 ist zu jeder der Längsseiten des Schlitzes 35 auf der Gehäuseoberseite 3 angeordnet. Die Schienen 36 und 37 verlaufen parallel zum Schlitz 35 und sie sind als L-Profile ausgeführt. Der erste Schenkel 38 der Profile 36 und 37 (
Die vorliegende Einrichtung umfasst auch eine Steuerungsvorrichtung 60, welche beispielsweise am Führungsbügel 57 angebracht sein kann. Dieser Vorrichtung 60 ist so ausgeführt, dass sie die Arbeitsweise sowie die Zusammenarbeit der einzelnen Vorrichtungen der vorliegenden Einrichtung steuern kann. Diese Steuervorrichtung 60 enthält Schaltkreise, welche die Drehzahl der Elektromotoren 39 und 40 unabhängig voneinander steuern kann. Dies ergibt unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten der Riemensätze 10 in den Beschleunigungseinheiten 6 und 7, womit man eine Abweichung der Flugbahn des Balles 19 von der Mittelachse MA der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 erreichen kann. Solche Schaltkreise könne auch programmierbar sein, wodurch die Notwendigkeit einer manuellen Bedienung solcher Steuerkreise wegfällt. Ausserdem können solche Schaltkreis auch nach einem Zufallsprinzip arbeiten.The present device also includes a
Die Steuervorrichtung 60 enthält auch Schaltkreise, welche an den Hubmagneten 30 angeschlossen sind. Solche Schaltkreise senden Impulse zum Hubmagneten, welcher die Beförderung der Bälle 10 mittels des Kipphebels 26 zur Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 besorgt. Solche Schaltkreise können ebenfalls nach einem Zufallsprinzip arbeiten, sodass sie Steuerimpulse zum Hubmagneten 30 in unregelmässigen Zeitabständen senden, während die Riemensätze 10 ohne Unterbruch laufen. Damit wird erreicht, dass die Bälle 19 die Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 in unregelmässigen zeitlichen Abständen erreichen und diese dann auch verlassen.The
Während der Ruhephase der vorliegenden Einrichtung befindet sich der kippbare Hebel 26 in seiner praktisch horizontalen Stellung, sodass sich die freie Endpartie 33 des ersten Hebelarmes 28 in ihrer unteren Stellung befindet. Der Abstand zwischen dieser freie Endpartie 33 des ersten Hebelarmes 28 und der Ausgabeöffnung 22 der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 ist zumindest so gross wie der Durchmesser des Balles 19. Dabei ruht der demnächst zu befördernde Ball 19 einerseits auf der Platte 44, welche an dieser freien Endpartie 33 des ersten Hebelarmes 28 angebracht ist. Andererseits ruht der demnächst zu befördernde Ball 19 auf den Kanten der vertikalen Schenkel 39 der L-Schienen 36 und 37 (
Wenn der untere Ball 19 zur Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 befördert werden soll, dann sendet die Steuervorrichtung 60 ein Signal an den Elektromagneten 30. Dieser zieht die Kolbenstange 32 zurück, sodass der zweite bzw. untere Hebelarm 29 nach unten ruckartig gezogen wird. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der erste Hebelarm 28 des zweiarmigen Hebels 26 ruckartig aufwärts bewegt wird. Das Auflageplatte 44 am ersten Hebelarm 28 schnellt dabei auf einer bogenförmigen Bahn von rechts nach links (
Während der Beförderung des ersten Balles 19 aus der Abgabevorrichtung 25 bewegt sich die freie Endpartie 33 des zweiten Armes 28 des Hebels 26 nicht nur nach links sondern auch aufwärts, und zwar gegen die Austrittsöffnung 22 der Vorratsvorrichtung 20. Dadurch hindert diese freie Endpartie 33 des zweiten Hebelarmes 28 den zweiten Ball 19 daran, dass er die Vorratsvorrichtung 20 vorzeitig verlässt und in die Abgabevorrichtung 25 fällt. Nachdem der erste Ball 19 die Abgabevorrichtung 25 verlassen hat, bewegt sich das freie Ende 33 des zweiten Hebelarmes 28 nach rechts abwärts, wodurch die Mündung 22 der Vorratsvorrichtung 20 frei wird und der nächste Ball 19 kann in die Abgabevorrichtung 25 fallen.During the transport of the first ball 19 from the
Dank der Auflageplatte 44 kann die Geschwindigkeit der Vorwärtsbewegung des freien Hebelendes 33 sogar so eingestellt werden, dass es eine verhältnismässig kleine Differenz zwischen der Geschwindigkeit des beförderten Balls 19 und der Geschwindigkeit der Trumme 108 des Riemensatzes 10 gibt, mit welchen der Ball 19 in der Beschleunigungsvorrichtung 1 in Berührung kommt.Thanks to the support plate 44, the speed of forward movement of the
