3 Golf ball picker

Abstract Essentially, a golf ball picker is commonly used on the golf course to assist the worker in picking up the golf ball after the player has finished playing. Presenting this golf ball picker design will unquestionably assist a professional in making their job much easier and more effective. Right now, the most important part of the content is to represent how this strategy or item would work. Golf ball picker It was currently using a mechanical mechanism to move the ball from the ball holder to the ball transporter.

The main part was made from an outside object, such as an aluminium plate, so that it could be amassed efficiently and that we could get the benefit from that point with this technique. Generally speaking, this project was finished on schedule. This is a significant undertaking. Furthermore, it is often changed to meet the needs of the situation.

It works without the use of a pneumatic, pressure-driven, or electric source. It is entirely based on translational movement, with various metallic arms, holders, and pulleys used to complete the cycle.

Introduction This venture entails the design, manufacture, and assembly of a golf ball picker. There are several differences between this plan and the current commercial centre model. This arrangement is more practical and understandable. This project necessitates a wide range of skills, data, and knowledge about programming and machines. for example, Inventor Computer-Aided Design programming, Solidworks, Lathe Machine, CNC Milling machine. This structure will support the laborer and player. Thus, this plan experienced numerous procedures before it gets into the model.

The primary reason for this project is to conduct research and address issues. This undertaking can also prepare the understudy before dealing with the real situation when fabricating the piece. In this vein, the purpose of this project is to be used by both players and workers; Create previous prototypes and models as well.

Design This project helps us to look for and research this material online. We begin designing our own style in Solidworks after searching and testing. Which begins with a list of necessary parts, followed by rough designs and assembly. We look at a variety of prototypes before introducing our own 3D assembly. It primarily transfers motion via a two-pulley mechanism that is manually rotated by a player or worker without the use of an external power source. Furthermore, it has the power to pick up the golf ball and move it into the collector in a single rotation. However, we are primarily concerned with the lack of any external power source, including pneumatic. It was difficult at first because we started with mechanical gears to shift motion; however, after discovering power loss, we used two pulleys, which were simple to fabricate and cost less than gears. While final testing ball holder losses the grip over the ball and fixed it by decreasing holder’s diameter and arm’s length.

Mechanical Assembly and testing Mechanical Assembly and Testing Assembling the projects and parts in the real world are easier said than done. It seems quite easy to mate the parts in CAD software and complete the assembly. However, to assemble parts into a functional mechanism is quite different and involves a steep learning curve. All issues which arose during the assembly of the parts were unexpected and involved a lot of man hours to get things done. For instance, the project had multiple press fit in it.

Therefore, it was only possible to press fit the already press fit part for different purpose. It was a hectic task to take the machine as a whole to the arbor press for this. The dowels pins were press fitted into the ball bearings in the pillars. Also, the dowel pins were press fitted into the ledge and to the short links at the same time. While testing the functionality, the ball bearings became lose due to the rotation. Therefore, are chamfering was required for the parts to make it fit again. The screws which attached the pillars into the base plate became lose at first due to its short length. It was later replaced by longer screws.

Bill of Material:

Improvements If given the chance to start the project from scratch, there would undoubtedly be a lot of modifications that would make the design and development of the project much easier. As previously mentioned, since all of the parts were obtained from scrap and due to the time constraints, the project seemed to be a little unattractive by its look.

15 Instead of the use of dowel pins, some fastening could be done by screws. That would have given the attachment more strength. A sheet metal could have been used as a ledge instead of the part given from the machine shop. A sheet metal usage would reduce the time and effort to bend the ledge. The manufacturer could have easily produced the desired shape by the force of hand, cutter, plier or brake. We could not implement this idea in our machine because we already started with the part given to us from the machine shop. Furthermore, by making the rods a little thicker, more accurate motion and support for the fixture can be achieved. As a result, each of these steps would result in the project's life being extended, as well as increased speed and smoother movement

Recommendations We recommend that there are parts of a project with the same goal as the project described in this report. More parts, higher maintenance, repair and manufacturing costs. A simple layout will additionally accelerate the manufacturing and assembly process. For really complicated parts, it is highly recommended that you design them in your chosen CAD software and then send them for 3D printing. 3D printing should be used as it has become very inexpensive in recent years.

16 Conclusion: It was a fantastic learning experience for our group while also contributing to this project. This project took us through various stages of improvement and enabled us to engage with a true understanding of the mechanical building branch. We got a feel for the manufacturing sector by working and asking questions while solving various issues and problems.
