The invention discloses an automatic
tennis ball picking device and a control method of the automatic
tennis ball picking device. The automatic
tennis ball picking device comprises a
cart body, a ball picking mechanism, a ball storage mechanism, an
infrared obstacle avoiding
system and a
control system, wherein the ball picking mechanism is arranged at the front half portion of the
cart body, the ball storage mechanism is arranged at the back of the ball picking mechanism, the control mechanism is arranged on the ball storage mechanism, the
infrared obstacle avoiding
system is arranged at the front end of the
cart body, and the ball picking mechanism is provided with a part which can move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction relative to the cart body. The automatic tennis ball picking device adopts the ball picking device which is driven by two stepping motors and carries out transmission through a lead screw, an
infrared sensor is installed on the cart body provided with two auxiliary universal wheels, a control module adopts a single-
chip microcomputer, the infrared sensor detects obstacles or tennis balls, and a driving module is triggered through the single-
chip microcomputer to drive the wheels to avoid the obstacles or drive the stepping motors to carry out ball picking.
