1. An automated ball-throwing device comprising:
a housing from which a ball-dropping bowl is integrated; said ball-dropping bowl is configured to receive a ball that is dropped via a dog; said ball is directed to a conveyor belt located in an interior of the housing; said conveyor belt accelerates said ball, which is projected a distance away from the housing via an exit chute; wherein the housing is further defined with a first distal end and a second distal end; wherein the housing includes the ball-dropping bowl at the first distal end; wherein the housing is further defined with a top housing surface, a left housing side, and a right housing side; wherein the ball-dropping bowl includes an inclined surface that extends into a housing inlet; wherein the inclined surface of the ball-dropping bowl extends to an interior of the housing; wherein the inclined surface includes a first set of guide rails that extend from the housing inlet to an inclined surface distal end; wherein the exit chute is provided on the top surface of the housing; wherein the exit chute is located adjacent the second distal end of the housing; wherein the exit chute has a curvature, which enables the acceleration of the ball to be bounced forwardly with respect to the housing; wherein the conveyor belt includes a first drum and a second drum; wherein the first drum is located at a first conveyor distal end, and the second drum is located at a second conveyor distal end; wherein the first drum is rotated via a belt that extends to a motor; wherein both the first drum and the motor include a pulley, which enables the belt to transfer rotational movement; wherein the motor is wired to an on/off switch, and a distance switch; wherein the ball-dropping bowl is configured to receive a ball that may be dropped via the dog; wherein the conveyor belt extends adjacent the inclined surface distal end upwardly, and towards the second distal end of the housing; wherein a second set of guide rails is positioned adjacent and parallel with the conveyor belt; wherein the first set of guide rails and the second set of guide rails are adapted to assist in moving the ball through the interior of the housing; wherein the ball falls down the inclined surface, until the ball reaches the conveyor belt; wherein once the ball reaches the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt accelerates the ball towards the exit chute; wherein the ball accelerates up the conveyor belt, and bounces off of the exit chute; wherein the ball is projected over the ball-dropping bowl; wherein the top surface of the housing includes a top outlet that accommodates the exit chute; wherein the first set of guide rails and the second set of guide rails are each further defined a left guide rail member and a right guide rail member; wherein the left guide rail member and the right guide rail member are positioned a guide rail height above the inclined surface or the conveyor belt; wherein the distance switch shall adjust the distance the ball is projected from the housing; wherein the electrical cord includes an electrical plug that is adapted to be inserted into a standard electrical outlet; wherein the electrical plug and the electrical cord are responsible for supplying electricity to the motor. |
