[0019] The present utility model discloses a basketball inflator with a basketball air leakage detection function, which has the following beneficial effects.

[0020] First, by setting up an inflation mechanism, after installing the basketball inside the two groups of suction cups, starting the first motor drives the rotating rod installed through the coupling by the output shaft to rotate, which drives the sleeve plate threadedly connected to the outer surface to move up and down. The mounting bracket fixedly connected to the front end of the sleeve plate descends into the water tank for air leakage detection. At the same time, when moving up and down in the reverse direction, the sleeve plate rises, enabling inflation of the basketball and air leakage detection of the basketball.

[0021] Second, by setting up a feeding mechanism, after putting a certain number of basketballs into the ball - placing bucket, starting the second motor drives the guiding disk to rotate, which drives the basketballs to be fed, and the basketballs fall into the ball - placing frame, achieving the effect of automatic replenishment of basketballs.
