[0032] A plurality of supporting blocks 3 are provided, and the plurality of supporting blocks 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the turntable 2, and the plurality of supporting blocks 3 are evenly spaced around the axis of the turntable 2, and a placement groove 31 for placing a basketball is provided on the upper end surface of each supporting block 3, and an identification groove 32 is also provided on the upper end surface of each supporting block 3, and the identification groove 32 is arranged in a horizontal direction and is connected with the placement groove 31, and the identification groove 32 and the inflation hole on the basketball are located on the same horizontal plane, and a rotating component 4 for driving the basketball to rotate is also provided on each supporting block 3.
[0033] The printing assembly 5 is located at one side of the turntable 2 , and the output end of the printing assembly 5 is located directly above one of the supporting blocks 3 . The printing assembly 5 in this embodiment is prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
[0034] When it is necessary to print on the surface of the basketball, the rotating motor 11 is started to make the turntable 2 rotate around its own axis, and then the basketballs are placed in the placement grooves 31 on the multiple supporting blocks 3 in turn, and the inflation holes on the basketballs are in the same plane and connected with the identification grooves 32 on the supporting blocks 3. Therefore, each basketball is in the same upper position state of the supporting blocks 3, so the printing component 5 prints the same position on each basketball, thereby achieving the effect of making the position of the pattern on each basketball the same.
[0035] In order to reduce the wear and tear of equipment parts on the basketball, a rubber ring 33 is provided on the edge of the placement groove 31. The rubber ring 33 wraps the contour of the placement groove 31 to avoid scratching the surface of the basketball by the contour of the placement groove 31 as much as possible, thereby further improving the qualified rate of basketball production.
[0036] The rotating assembly 4 includes a mounting block 42 , a round tube 43 and a suction cup 44 .
[0037] On the bearing block 3 of this embodiment, four sliding grooves 41 are provided. The four sliding grooves 41 are evenly spaced around the axis of the bearing block 3. Similarly, four mounting blocks 42 are provided. The four mounting blocks 42 correspond to the four sliding grooves 41 one by one, and the mounting blocks 42 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 41. Four electric telescopic rods 45 are further provided on the bearing block 3. The four electric telescopic rods 45 correspond to the four mounting blocks 42 one by one. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 45 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 42. The electric telescopic rod 45 drives the mounting block 42 to move in the direction close to or away from the basketball. Similarly, four circular tubes 43 are provided. The four circular tubes 43 correspond to the four mounting blocks 42 one by one. The circular tube 43 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 42. One end of the circular tube 43 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the suction cup 44. The other end of the circular tube 43 can be connected to a negative pressure machine. A driving member 46 for driving the circular tube 43 to rotate along its own axis is further provided on the mounting block 42. The suction cup 44 abuts against the surface of the basketball.
[0038] When printing other parts of the basketball are needed, start two opposite electric telescopic rods 45 among the four electric telescopic rods 45, so as to drive the two corresponding mounting blocks 42 to move in the direction close to the basketball, and further make the corresponding suction cups 44 abut against the surface of the basketball. Then start the negative pressure machine to make the two suction cups 44 suck the basketball. Then start the corresponding driving member 46 to drive the corresponding circular tube 43 to rotate, so as to drive the basketball to rotate, thus facilitating the printing assembly 5 to print other parts of the basketball.
[0039] In order to prevent the basketball from falling off the suction cup 44 as much as possible, an anti-slip pattern is further provided on the end face of the suction cup 44 that abuts against the basketball, so as to enhance the friction between the basketball and the suction cup 44.

The first gear 461 and the second gear 462 are meshed with each other. When the circular tube 43 needs to be driven to rotate, start the driving motor 463, and then drive the circular ring to rotate through the first gear 461 and the second gear 462.
[0041] Finally, a blanking component 6 is further provided on the turntable 2 in this embodiment. The blanking component 6 includes a telescopic rod 61.
[0042] The telescopic rod 61 is located at the lower end face of the turntable 2. The telescopic rod 61 is arranged in the vertical direction. A through hole 21 for the telescopic rod 61 to slide and insert is formed on the turntable 2. The through hole 21 is communicated with the placement groove 31. When the printed basketball rotates above the telescopic rod 61, the through hole 21 and the telescopic rod 61 are coaxially arranged. The telescopic rod 61 is started, and the top of the telescopic rod 61 extends into the placement groove 31 through the through hole 21 and pushes the basketball out of the placement groove 31, thereby realizing the unloading work of the basketball.
[0043] In order to enable the ejected basketball to smoothly fall into the collection box beside the turntable 2, the position of the through hole 21 is closer to the axis of the turntable 2 than the axis of the placement groove 31. At the same time, in order to avoid the telescopic rod 61 from causing wear to the basketball as much as possible, a rubber block 62 is provided at the top of the telescopic rod 61 to reduce the impact force of the telescopic rod 61 on the basketball.
