[0002] Football has become a very popular sport and has brought great fun to people's lives. However, football is often kicked away and needs to be recovered. Most existing technologies rely on manual ball picking and need to pick up the ball frequently, which is labor-intensive. Especially for ball sports with larger fields such as football fields, the ball is more likely to be kicked far away, and it is more difficult to recover the balls that fly far away.

[0029] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a driven gear 20 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the turntable 12 and a servo motor 21 fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the vehicle body 10, a rotating shaft 22 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 21, a driving gear 23 is fixedly sleeved on the top outer wall of the rotating shaft 22, and the driving gear 23 is meshed and connected with the driven gear 20. During specific use, the rotating shaft 22 fixed on the servo motor 21 drives the driving gear 23 to rotate, and the driving gear 23 drives the driven gear 20 to rotate synchronously, and the driven gear 20 drives the turntable 12 to rotate, so that the ball picking mechanism can turn its angle.
[0030] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the ball picking mechanism includes a fixed frame 30 fixed on the slider 15, a rectangular opening 31 is opened on the side wall of the fixed frame 30, a bidirectional screw rod 32 is horizontally arranged on the inner side of the fixed frame 30, both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 32 are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame 30, one end of the bidirectional screw rod 32 extends to the outside of the fixed frame 30 and a driving motor 33 is fixed to the end, a storage plate 37 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed frame 30, and the driving motor 33 is fixedly installed on the storage plate 37.
