The mounting frame is welded and fixed to the detection table.

[0006] As a further improvement of the utility model, a connecting slide groove is arranged on the top of the testing table along the front-to-back direction, a connecting slider matched with the connecting slide groove is arranged on the bottom of the placing table, and the bottom of the testing table is also vertically penetrated with through holes distributed along the front-to-back direction and corresponding to the connecting slider.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] Firstly, the placement table can be driven to slide backward on the detection table through a linear slide and a connecting plate, so that multiple placement grooves are moved to the bottom of the blanking barrel in turn. At the same time, the connecting shaft can be driven by a driving motor to rotate the blanking tray, so that a tennis ball falls into the blanking groove of the blanking tray. When the blanking groove on the blanking tray moves to a position that matches the blanking barrel, the tennis ball will fall from the blanking groove into the blanking barrel, and then fall into the corresponding placement groove. By repeating the above process, multiple tennis balls can be added to multiple placement grooves in turn. After that, the placement table is moved to the bottom of the detection module through a linear slide, and the tennis ball can be elastically tested and classified into good and inferior products.

[0013] Secondly, the output shafts of multiple first telescopic push rods can be synchronously extended downward by a certain length, so that multiple detection rods can be moved downward and the tennis ball can be pressed down. In this process, the size of the applied pressure can be monitored by the pressure sensor, and then the multiple detection rods can be moved upward away from the tennis ball and reset by the first telescopic push rod. Then, the pressure on the corresponding tennis ball can be detected by multiple image sensors. If the tennis ball is found to be restored to its original state, it means that the corresponding tennis ball is a good product with elasticity that meets the requirements. If the tennis ball is not restored to its original state, it means that the corresponding tennis ball is a poor product with elasticity that does not meet the requirements. Then, the poor quality tennis ball can be pushed from the placement table to the poor quality conveying trough by the second telescopic push rod and the poor quality push plate, and the good quality tennis ball can be pushed from the placement table to the good quality conveying trough by the third telescopic push rod and the good quality push plate.

[0014] Thirdly, through the PLC controller, the working states of the linear slide, multiple first telescopic push rods, multiple pressure sensors, multiple image sensors, multiple second telescopic push rods and multiple third telescopic push rods can be coordinated and controlled.

[0015] Fourthly, the extension plate and the anchor bolts can prevent the device from easily shifting during operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The mounting frame 103 is welded and fixed to the test platform 101. A plurality of placement grooves 105 are arranged on the placement platform 104 at equal intervals.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in , 4, a connecting groove 201 is arranged at the top of the testing platform 101 along the front-to-back direction, a connecting slider 202 adapted to the connecting groove 201 is arranged at the bottom of the placing platform 104, and through holes 203 distributed along the front-to-back direction and corresponding to the connecting slider 202 are vertically penetrated at the bottom of the testing platform 101, a U-shaped fixing frame 204 covering the outside of the through hole 203 is arranged at the bottom of the testing platform 101 along the front-to-back direction, a linear slide 205 is arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the fixing frame 204 along the front-to-back direction, and a connecting plate 206 passing through the through hole 203 is arranged between the slide seat of the linear slide 205 and the bottom of the connecting slider 202.
