[0074] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a schematic structural view of an infrared detection module 47 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. In this embodiment, the speed detection mechanism 4 collects the time interval information of each bounce of the table tennis ball to be detected through the infrared detection module 47. The speed detection mechanism 4 includes a bounce component and a plurality of infrared detection modules. The bounce component may include a first bounce plate 41 and a second bounce plate 42, which are respectively connected to the corresponding detection motors through drive shafts. The first bounce plate 41 and the second bounce plate 42 are oppositely disposed and have different heights. Among them, the drive shafts include a first drive shaft 45 and a second drive shaft 46, and the detection motors include a first detection motor 43 and a second detection motor 44.

A plurality of infrared detection modules 47 are disposed in the box body 1 and are connected to the controller 6. The plurality of infrared detection modules 47 are respectively located between the first bounce plate 41 and the second bounce plate 42 and have different heights. The plurality of infrared detection modules 47 upload the collected time interval information to the controller 6. At the same time, the table tennis ball to be detected enters the collection and classification mechanism 5 after bouncing multiple times between the first bounce plate 41 and the second bounce plate 42.

[0075] During operation, first place the table tennis balls into the feeding mechanism 2. The windmill runner 22 transports the table tennis balls to the feeding slide rail 24, and the table tennis balls enter the projection mechanism 3 in the box body 1 along the feeding slide rail 24; the table tennis balls pass through two friction wheels 31 that are driven by a driving motor 36 and rotate at high speed, and are shot at a preset speed towards the first rebound plate 41, and rebound multiple times between the first rebound plate 41 and the second rebound plate 42; when the table tennis balls move back and forth between the first rebound plate 41 and the second rebound plate 42, the infrared emitter 471 inside the box body 1 continuously emits infrared rays, the infrared rays are reflected on the surface of the table tennis balls, the infrared receiver 472 receives the reflected infrared signals, and converts them into electrical signals to the controller 6; the controller 6 analyzes the data, calculates the image of the change trend of the table tennis ball speed over time, and compares it with a preset model; at the same time, after a preset detection time, the first rebound plate 41 rotates counterclockwise so that the table tennis balls hit and enter the collection and classification device 5. Since the frame 51 has a certain curvature, it ensures that the table tennis balls can roll along the frame 51 to the upper end of the flipping plate 52 and wait for the signal from the controller 6; if it is less than or equal to the set error value, it is determined to be a qualified product, and the controller 6 controls the classification motor 53 to drive the classification drive shaft 54 to drive the flipping plate 52 to rotate counterclockwise. After the table tennis ball to be detected slides into the first collection box 55, the classification motor 53 drives the classification drive shaft 54 to drive the flipping plate 52 to reset; if it is greater than the set error value, it is determined to be a defective product, and the controller 6 controls the classification motor 53 to drive the classification drive shaft 54 to drive the flipping plate 52 to rotate clockwise. After the table tennis ball to be detected slides into the second collection box 56, the classification motor 53 drives the classification drive shaft 54 to drive the flipping plate 52 to reset; cycle the above detection process until the detection of this batch of table tennis balls is completed.

[0076] The utility model realizes the orderly detection of multiple table tennis balls by allowing the table tennis balls to enter the windmill runner of the feeding mechanism, thereby improving the efficiency; the synchronous belt drive is used to drive the friction wheels to rotate at high speed, which can more effectively transmit the motor power, reduce the energy loss, and improve the transmission efficiency; an infrared detection module is adopted, which is based on the Doppler effect and calculates the object speed by measuring the change in the frequency of the reflected or scattered infrared rays. This measurement method has high precision, can accurately reflect the movement state of the table tennis balls, and can meet the requirements of high-precision measurement; through the collection and classification device, the qualified and unqualified table tennis balls are separated, which is convenient for collection, and the collection box is fixed by the slide rail at the bottom of the box body, which is convenient for taking the collection box. Of course, the utility model can also have many other embodiments.
