[0038] The design of the present invention is based on the characteristics of ball objects. The picking device 2 significantly improves the efficiency of identifying and picking up ball objects. The robotic arm assembly 4 and the identification camera 28 realize secondary identification and sorting of ball objects, significantly improving the fault tolerance rate and reducing the probability of classification errors.

[0047] The rotating roller 56 can also be used to introduce ball objects. When the introduction camera 67 recognizes that no ball object is introduced, the pitch motor 54 drives the swing arm 57 to lift up so that the ball object can be introduced smoothly. When the introduction camera recognizes that a ball object is introduced, the pitch motor 54 drives the swing arm 57 to fall, and the roller 56 forms a barrier to prevent the introduced ball object from escaping and avoid malfunctions caused by the continuous introduction of ball objects. At the same time, the rotating roller 56 can assist in the transmission of ball objects along the oblique shovel 26.

[0048] The inner sides of the two second conveyor belts 63 gradually converge from front to back, so as to facilitate the collection and guidance of spherical objects.
