Two groups of brushes 9 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. The angle between the two groups of brushes 9 is 180 degrees, and there is a certain distance between the brushes 9 and the ground. This design can prevent the brushes 9 from rubbing against the ground and causing wear, thereby enhancing the service life. A first driving component 100 for driving the transmission roller 5 to rotate and a second driving component 200 for driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate are provided on the inner side of the outer shell 1. A push rod handle 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 1. The push rod handle 10 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy material, which not only ensures the strength of the push rod handle 10, but also ensures its stability. The inner cavity of the push rod handle 10 adopts a hollow design, and thus the hollow design ensures the routing of the line.The push button switch 11 is connected to the electrical module 20, the first drive assembly 100 and the second drive assembly 200 through a line. The push button switch 11 for controlling the operation of the first drive assembly 100 and the second drive assembly 200 is embedded on the push rod handle 10, and a walking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the outer shell 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the first driving assembly 100 includes a first motor 12 mounted on the outer shell 1 and a first synchronous belt 13 sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission roller 5 . The first synchronous belt 13 is connected to the output end of the first motor 12 .

[0030] Specifically, during actual operation, the output end of the first motor 12 can be connected to the first main pulley, and the outer wall of the transmission roller 5 can be connected to the first slave pulley, so that the first synchronous belt 13 can be simultaneously mounted on the first main pulley and the first slave pulley. Then, after the first motor 12 is working, the transmission roller 5 can be driven to rotate through the first synchronous belt 13, ensuring that the transmission roller 5 can drive the conveyor belt 6 to rotate, so that the badminton can be transported to the ball storage box 3 after the conveyor belt 6 rotates.

[0033] Furthermore, the walking mechanism includes two one-way wheels 16 and two universal wheels 17 fixedly mounted on the outer shell 1. The two one-way wheels 16 are respectively arranged on both sides of the ball picking port 2, and the two universal wheels 17 are located at the bottom of the outer shell 1 and close to the pull-out port.

[0034] Specifically, the walking mechanism of this solution adopts a four-wheel drive type. The four-wheel drive walking mechanism has good stability and load-bearing capacity, which can realize the free movement of the ball picking machine in the venue, and the two wheels on the front side are one-way wheels 16, which promote strong directionality during walking, ensuring that the front end of the entire device is not easily deflected when collecting badminton; and the two wheels on the rear side are universal wheels 17, which can rotate 360 ​​degrees, making it easy to adjust the walking direction of the device. Therefore, the combination of the two wheels can adapt to multi-directional operating conditions.

[0035] Furthermore, a collecting bucket 18 fixedly connected to the outer shell 1 is provided above the opening of the ball storage box 3. The collecting bucket 18 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 6, and a through opening 19 is provided at the bottom of the collecting bucket 18. The sensing end of the infrared sensing counter 4 is located on one side of the through opening 19. A buffer pad 23 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the ball storage box 3, and an alarm 24 electrically connected to the infrared sensing counter 4 is installed on the outer wall of the ball storage box 3.

[0036] Specifically, the design of the collecting bucket 18 and the through opening 19 allows the badmintons on the conveyor belt 6 to fall into the ball storage box 3 through the through opening 19 in sequence, thereby facilitating the infrared sensor counter 4 to accurately detect the number of badmintons entering and present the detected number on the display screen. At the same time, when the detected number reaches a certain number, the alarm 24 can sound a warning, prompting manual processing of the badmintons in the ball storage box 3 through prompts. The specific processing is: pulling out the ball storage box 3 and pouring the badmintons into the placement basket 25; and the placement basket 25 can be used not only to store badmintons, but also to place other items such as badminton rackets, which has certain practical uses.

[0037] Furthermore, after the badminton enters the ball storage box 3, the design of the buffer pad 23 can effectively prevent the badminton from making hard contact when it falls into the ball storage box 3 and causing damage.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 is provided with an electrical module 20, and the electrical module 20 is electrically connected to the first drive component 100, the second drive component 200 and the button switch 11.

This technology is already a well-known and disclosed technology and will not be elaborated in detail in this article. The well-known and disclosed technology can be known and applied by those skilled in the art. At the same time, this scheme only seeks to protect the physical structure. The scheme does not seek to protect the circuit and program parts. The simple introduction to the circuit and program is only a supplementary explanation of the feasibility and authenticity of the utility model.

[0039] Furthermore, a support plate 21 is provided at intervals on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6, and a rib 22 is connected to both side ends of the conveyor belt 6. The design of the support plate 21 enables the badminton to be transported on the conveyor belt 6, and the design of the rib 22 can effectively prevent the badminton from falling from both sides, causing the badminton to fall into the ball storage box 3 when it reaches the highest point of the conveyor belt 6.

[0040] Furthermore, a placement basket 25 is connected to the top of the outer shell 1, and a soft pad is provided on the inner bottom wall of the placement basket 25. By providing a soft pad on the inner bottom wall of the placement basket 25, the badminton in the ball storage box 3 can be effectively prevented from hard contact with the placement basket 25 when being poured into the placement basket 25, thereby preventing the badminton from being damaged.

[0041] Furthermore, a plurality of dust collection holes 26 are provided on the surface of the shovel plate 7. With the design of the dust collection holes 26, when the brush 9 moves the badminton, the dust collection holes 26 can drop to a certain extent, which has a certain practical effect.

[0042] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when the outer shell 1 is pushed manually via the push rod handle 10, the first motor 12 and the second motor 14 can be operated respectively by pressing the button switch 11, thereby the second motor 14 can drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate via the second synchronous belt 15, and the rotating shaft 8 drives the brush 9 to rotate counterclockwise after the rotation, and the badminton can be moved toward the shovel plate 7. Then, as the brush 9 continues to rotate, the badminton can be moved to a certain height on the shovel plate 7 and then dropped onto the conveyor belt 6. Moreover, because the first motor 12 drives the rotation of the transmission roller 5 through the first synchronous belt 13, the transmission roller 5 can drive the conveyor belt 6 rotates, so that after the conveyor belt 6 rotates, with the help of the design of the support plate 21, the badminton can move upward along the conveyor belt 6, and fall into the collection bucket 18 after reaching a certain height, and then fall into the ball storage box 3 through the through hole 19, completing the automatic picking and collection of the badminton. During the period when the badminton falls into the ball storage box 3, the infrared sensor counter 4 can monitor and count the badmintons that fall into the ball storage box 3, and can give a prompt through the alarm 24 when the number reaches the full level, prompting the manual operation to extract the ball storage box 3 through the prompt, and pour the badmintons in the ball storage box 3 into the placement basket 25, so that the ball storage box 3 can collect the badminton again.
