[0030] The present application can realize rapid and accurate ball placing on a billiard table, and improve the efficiency and fairness of billiard games. Specifically, the lifting mechanism is connected to the base 1 through the sliding block 3 and the guide rail 11, and can move up and down along the guide rail 11 to adjust the height of the ball collecting mechanism to adapt to billiard tables of different sizes.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the scissors support assembly 8 comprises a first connecting rod 81, a second connecting rod 82, a third connecting rod 83 and a fourth connecting rod 84, the first lifting plate 6 is provided with a first connecting groove 61 on both sides, and the second lifting plate 7 is provided with a second connecting groove 71 on both sides; one end of the first connecting rod 81 and one end of the second connecting rod 82 are rotatably connected with the first connecting groove 61, the middle part of the first connecting rod 81 is hingedly connected with the middle part of the second connecting rod 82, the other end of the first connecting rod 81 is hingedly connected with one end of the third connecting rod 83, the other end of the second connecting rod 82 is hingedly connected with one end of the fourth connecting rod 84, the middle part of the third connecting rod 83 is hingedly connected with the middle part of the fourth connecting rod 84, and the other end of the third connecting rod 83 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 84 are rotatably connected with the second connecting groove 71.

[0034] In the present embodiment, through the design of the scissors support assembly 8, the lifting mechanism is more stable during lifting, and the lifting range is larger, which can better adapt to billiard tables of different heights. The hinged design of the first connecting rod 81, the second connecting rod 82, the third connecting rod 83 and the fourth connecting rod 84 makes the scissors support assembly 8 more smooth when it is contracted and expanded, reduces the shaking of the lifting mechanism, and improves the accuracy of the ball arrangement. In addition, the first lifting plate 6 and the second lifting plate 7 are U-shaped plates arranged in opposite openings, which not only increases the strength of the lifting mechanism, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the scissors support assembly 8, and facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of the full-automatic billiard ball arrangement machine.

In addition, the introduction of the first servo motor makes the full-automatic billiard ball arrangement machine more intelligent during the ball arrangement process, and can automatically adjust the height of the ball collecting mechanism according to the preset program, further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the ball arrangement.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the horizontal moving mechanism includes a horizontal sliding rail 9 and a horizontal moving rod 10, which is slidingly connected with the horizontal sliding rail 9, and one end of the horizontal moving rod 10 is fixedly connected with the ball collecting frame 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the horizontal sliding rail 9 and the horizontal moving rod 10, the flexible movement of the ball collecting mechanism in the horizontal direction is realized.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the ball placing machine further comprises a third servo motor, which is arranged on the sliding block 3, and the third servo motor is used to control the movement of the sliding block 3 on the guide rail 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, through the arrangement of the third servo motor, the precise control of the movement of the lifting mechanism on the guide rail 11 is realized. The third servo motor is installed on the sliding block 3, and by controlling its rotation, the position of the sliding block 3 on the guide rail 11 can be accurately adjusted, thereby driving the lifting mechanism and the ball collecting mechanism to move forward and backward as a whole. This design not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the movement of the lifting mechanism and the ball collecting mechanism, but also makes the full-automatic billiard ball placing machine more flexible and intelligent during the placing process.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the ball collecting frame 4 is one of an eight-ball frame, a nine-ball frame, a six-ball frame, and a four-ball frame.

[0044] In the embodiment, the design of the ball collecting frame 4 is diversified, and can meet the requirements of different billiard games. Different types of ball collecting frames 4, such as eight-ball frame, nine-ball frame, six-ball frame and four-ball frame, can be adapted to different sizes and types of billiard balls, so that the full-automatic billiard ball placing machine can play excellent performance in various billiard games.

[0046] In the embodiment, an aluminum alloy new material is used in the design of the selected material. The aluminum alloy new material has the following advantages: the aluminum alloy has the advantages of small density, large strength, good electric conductivity and thermal conductivity, low specific strength, high hardness and difficult processing. Therefore, it is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, shipbuilding, construction and electromechanical industries.

[0047] In order to further illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, the working principle of the present application will be explained:

[0048] The billiard balls are collected into the ball collecting frame, the third servo motor and the first servo motor are controlled to start, the sliding block moves on the guide rail, and the lifting mechanism is lifted to drive the billiard balls in the ball collecting frame to the billiard table surface. The second servo motor is started, the lower ball plate is rotated, the billiard balls are unloaded from the ball collecting frame to the billiard table surface, and the ball collecting frame is controlled to return to the initial position.

[0049] When collecting billiard balls, the billiard balls are collected from six ball bags to the designated position, that is, the initial position of the ball collecting frame in the billiard ball placing machine. Because the positions of the six ball bags are fixed, they are respectively located at the four vertices of the rectangular frame of the billiard table surface and the center of the long side. The conventional pocket hole billiard ball placing machine also has a slope, which relies on the gravity of the billiard balls to roll to the lowest point of the billiard ball placing machine. Therefore, the billiard ball placing machine sets a slope track for the billiard balls, relying on the gravity of the billiard balls to roll, and collects the billiard balls entering the six ball bags to one place (the lowest point of the billiard ball placing machine, which ensures that the billiard balls in the six pockets can roll to the position). Then, the billiard balls are transported into the ball collecting frame, and the ball collecting process is completed.

[0050] When the ball is placed, the third servo motor and the first servo motor are controlled to start, the slider moves backward, the scissors support assembly is lifted, when reaching the height of the billiard table, the slider moves forward, the horizontal moving mechanism moves forward, the ball collecting frame reaches the designated position, the second servo motor is started, the lower ball plate rotates, the billiard ball is unloaded from the ball collecting frame to the billiard table, the ball collecting frame is controlled to return to the initial position, and thus one working process is completed.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: the specific embodiments of the present application can still be modified or replaced by the equivalent, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, any modification or equivalent replacement, which should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
