The speeding rollers are driven to rotate by a second motor assembly and increase momentum of the basketball. Thus, the basketball is shot into the basketball hoop to rub against a basketball net. Then the basketball drops into the returning mechanism and rolls back into one ball seat of the delivering mechanism in order to be used for testing durability of the basketball net again.

## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a durability testing device, especially to a basketball net testing device that can automatically deliver basketballs and shoot the basketballs through the basketball net to test durability of the basketball net.
2. Description of the Prior Art(s)
Basketball is one of the world's most popular team sports and is played by two competing teams. In a basketball game, each player on a court shoots, passes, blocks, or dribbles a basketball with his two hands. The goal of the offensive team is to shoot the basketball through a basketball hoop to score points. The goal of the defensive team is to disturb and defend the offensive team to prevent the offensive team scoring. The team with the most points at the end of the basketball game wins.
During the basketball game, the basketball is constantly shot through the basketball hoop and rubs a net of the basketball hoop. After being hit and rubbed by the basketball over and over again, the net may be worn out and needs to be replaced with a new one. Therefore, the net is regarded as consumable. Therefore, before manufacturing process of the basketball hoop with the net is accomplished, the basketball has to be shot through the basketball hoop manually so as to test durability of the net.
However, each time when the basketball is shot through the basketball hoop, angles, momentum, and velocities of the basketball are different and cannot be controlled. Therefore, result of durability testing of the net is inaccurate. Moreover, testing durability of the net of the basketball hoop with manually work requires manpower and hence high cost for the manpower.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a basketball net testing device to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a basketball net testing device. The basketball net testing device has a mounting frame, a delivering mechanism, a shooting mechanism, a basketball hoop, a returning mechanism, and a controller. The delivering mechanism has multiple ball seats used for delivering basketballs. The shooting mechanism has a guiding disc and two speeding rollers. The ball seats deliver the basketballs to the guiding disc. The guiding disc guides each of the basketballs to drop between the speeding rollers. The speeding rollers are driven to rotate by a second motor assembly and increase momentum of the basketball. Thus, the basketball is shot into the basketball hoop to rub against a basketball net. Then the basketball drops into the returning mechanism and rolls back into one ball seat of the delivering mechanism in order to be used for testing durability of the basketball net again.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Specifically, the guiding rail 31 includes multiple rods. The rods of the guiding rail 31 are separately disposed so as to form a channel that allows a ball to pass therethrough.
The first fastening seat 32 and the second fastening seat 33 are securely mounted on the top panel 13 and are oppositely disposed beside the output hole 131 of the top panel 13.
The connecting panels 34 are separately mounted above the top panel 13, are oppositely disposed beside the output hole 131 of the top panel 13, and are connected to each other via multiple connecting rods to form a frame. Each of the connecting panels 34 has a side surface and an upper edge. One of the connecting panels 34 is disposed adjacent to the first fastening seat 32 and has a first connecting shaft 341. The other connecting panel 34 is disposed adjacent to the second fastening seat 33 and has a second connecting shaft 342. The first connecting shaft 341 protrudes from the side surface of the connecting panel 34 and is pivotally connected to the first fastening seat 32. The second connecting shaft 342 protrudes from the side surface of the connecting panel 34 and is pivotally connected to the second fastening seat 33.
The guiding disc 35 is securely mounted on the upper edges of the connecting panels 34 and surrounds a conical space. The conical space has two opening ends respectively corresponding in position to the output end of the guiding rail 31 and the output hole 131 of the top panel 13.
The speeding rollers 36 are disposed apart from each other, and are mounted between and are pivotally connected to the connecting panels 34. A shooting output is defined between the speeding rollers 36. A width defined between the speeding rollers 36 corresponds to a width of the output hole 131 of the top panel 13. Each of the speeding rollers 36 has a roller shaft 361. The roller shaft 361 protrudes through the connecting panel 34 that is disposed adjacent to the first fastening seat 32.
The second motor assembly 37 is mounted on the top panel 13, is disposed adjacent to the first fastening seat 32 and selectively drives the speeding rollers 36 to rotate. The second motor assembly 37 has a motor 370, a double-layer driving wheel 371, a roller driving wheel 373, a transmission gear 374, a roller gear 374A, a first transmission member 372, and a second transmission member 372A.
The motor 370 of the second motor assembly 37 is securely mounted on the top panel 13 and has a power output end. The double-layer driving wheel 371 is rotatably mounted on and is coaxial with the first connecting shaft 341 and has two toothed peripheral surfaces.

The first transmission member 372 is driven by the power output end of the motor 370 of the second motor assembly 37 and drives the double-layer driving wheel 371 to rotate. As the double-layer driving wheel 371 is driven to rotate, the second transmission member 372A drives the roller driving wheel 373 to rotate and the transmission gear 374 drives the roller gear 374A to rotate accordingly. Thus, the two speeding rollers 36 rotate in reverse directions.
The third motor assembly 38 is mounted on the top panel 13, is disposed adjacent to the second fastening seat 33, and selectively drives the connecting panels 34 to swing. The third motor assembly 38 has a motor 380, an eccentric shaft 381, a rotating panel 383, and a transmission shaft 382.

The eccentric shaft 381 is connected to the power output end of the motor 380 of the third motor assembly 38 and is eccentric to a rotating center of the power output end of the motor 380 of the third motor assembly 38. A rotating path of the eccentric shaft 381 is annular. The rotating panel 383 has two ends. One of the ends of the rotating panel 383 is pivotally connected to the second connecting shaft 342. The transmission shaft 382 has two ends respectively connected pivotally to the other end of the rotating panel 383 and the eccentric shaft 381.
The power output end of the motor 380 of the third motor assembly 38 drives the eccentric shaft 381 to rotate along the annular rotating path. Then the eccentric shaft 381 drives the rotating panel 383 as well as the second connecting shaft 342 to rotate via the transmission shaft 382. Thus, an inclined angle of the shooting output defined between the speeding rollers 36 can be adjusted.
With reference to FIG. 1, the basketball hoop 40 is securely mounted on the mounting frame 10, and corresponds in position to and is disposed below the output hole 131 of the top panel 13. The basketball hoop 40 has a rim 42 and a basketball net 41. The basketball net 41 is attached to the rim 42.
The decelerating bracket 401 is securely mounted on the mounting frame 10 and is disposed below the basketball hoop 40. A diameter of the decelerating bracket 401 is larger than a diameter of the rim 42 of the basketball hoop 40.
With reference to FIG. 6, the returning mechanism 50 is mounted in the mounting frame 10, is mounted through the side panel 12, and corresponds in position to the returning hole 121 of the side panel 12. The returning mechanism 50 has a ball input and a ball output. The ball input is disposed below and corresponds in position to the basketball hoop 40. The ball output corresponds in position to the moving path along which the ball seats 25 move upward.
Specifically, the returning mechanism 50 has a guiding panel 53, a supporting bracket 51, and two guiding rods 52. The guiding panel 53 is annular, is mounted through the longitudinal slots 122 of the side panel 12, and has a ball input portion and a ball output portion. The ball input portion is disposed below and corresponds in position to the basketball hoop 40. The ball output portion corresponds in position to the moving path along which the ball seats 25 move upward.

The supporting bracket 51 is securely mounted on and protrudes up from the bottom panel 11 and supports the ball input portion of the guiding panel 53. The guiding rods 52 are mounted through the returning hole 121 of the side panel 12, are disposed apart from each other, and slant downwardly from the ball input portion to the ball output portion of the guiding panel 53. Each of the guiding rods 52 has an end connected to the supporting bracket 51.
With reference to FIG. 1, the controller 60 is mounted on the bottom panel 11 of the mounting frame 10. The controller 60 is electrically connected to the first motor assembly 22, the second motor assembly 37, and the third motor assembly 38, selectively drives the delivering mechanism 20 to deliver balls, and selectively drives the shooting mechanism 30 to speed up rotating of the speeding rollers 36 and to adjust the inclined angle of the shooting output defined between the speeding rollers 36.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, when the basketball net testing device is under operation, multiple basketballs 70 are respectively mounted in the ball seats 25. When the first motor assembly 22 drives the elevating gears 23 and the elevating chains 24, the ball seats 25 as well as the basketballs 70 move in circulation.
With further reference to FIG. 3, as the ball seats 25 move upwardly, the shock absorbing sheets 253 of the ball seats 25 slide through the clearance between the guiding sheets 211. With the guiding sheets 211 holding the shock absorbing sheets 253, the elevating chains 24 do not sway and the ball seats 25 can move stably. Moreover, as the ball seats 25 move upwardly, the fall prevention assembly 27 restricts a displacement range of each basketball 70. Thus, the basketballs 70 do not drop from the ball seats 25. When the basketball 70 is delivered to a specific position, the pushing rod 26 pushes the basketball 70 to roll into the guiding rail 31. Then the basketball 70 drops from the output end of the guiding rail 31 to pass through the guiding disc 35 and the speeding rollers 36.
With further reference to FIG. 4, the speeding rollers 36 are driven to rotate by the second motor assembly 37 and rub against the basketball 70 to increase momentum of the basketball 70. Thus, the basketball 70 passes through the output hole 131 of the top panel 13 and is shot into the basketball hoop 40 to rub against the basketball net 41. The momentum of the basketball 70 when being shot is set according to rolling velocities of the speeding rollers 36. Therefore, the momentum of the basketball 70 can be controlled by the controller 60.
With further reference to FIG. 5, by controlling power output of the third motor assembly 38, the third motor assembly 38 sequentially drives the eccentric shaft 381, the transmission shaft 382, and the rotating panel 383 to rotate the second connecting shaft 342, the connecting panels 34, and the first connecting shaft 341 back and forth. Thus, the inclined angle of the shooting output defined between the speeding rollers 36 can be adjusted whenever necessary. Moreover, the controller 60 can drive the transmission shaft 382 and the rotating panel 383 to rotate the second connecting shaft 342 to stop the connecting panels 34 at a specific angle.
With further reference to FIG. 6, then the basketball 70 is shot through the basketball hoop 40 to rub against and hit the basketball net 41, is buffered by the decelerating bracket 401, and drops into the returning mechanism 50. The basketball 70 rolls on the guiding rods 52 of the returning mechanism 50 to pass through the returning hole 121 of the side panel 12. Afterwards, the basketball 70 rolls into one of the ball seats 25 of the delivering mechanism 20 in order to be used for testing durability of the basketball net 41 again.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
