[0050] After the machine is powered on, the sphere moves through the chute to the sphere stop position, preparing for the ball placing operation; the user starts the machine through the key control board;

[0051] After starting, the second motor starts to rotate forward, driving the gear to rotate, thereby driving the locking member to move forward, opening the valve at the sphere stop position, and allowing the sphere to slide into the stop position; after the sphere reaches the stop position, the second motor stops working and rotates in reverse to close the valve;

[0052] Then, the third motor rotates forward, driving the gripper to clamp the sphere to ensure that the sphere is firmly fixed;

[0053] Then, the first motor rotates forward, drives the rack through the gear, pushes the ejection rod forward, and then pushes the ball to the specified point;

[0054] When the ball is pushed to the target position, the third motor reverses and the gripper releases the ball, completing a ball swing operation.

[0055] The first motor reverses, and the ejector rod and ejector block return to their initial positions. If the probe detects that there is no ball at the designated position, the machine will automatically repeat the above steps and perform the ball swinging operation again;

[0056] The user can stop the machine at any time by pressing the pause switch on the keypad, thus interrupting the current ball swinging operation.
