The driving component 1411 is a rotatable gear disk. The transmission component 1412 is mounted on the gear disk and has a groove along the radial direction of the gear disk. The lifting platform 1421 has a rod-shaped follower 1424 protruding from the side facing the driving component 1411. The end of the follower 1424 away from the lifting platform 1421 is located in the groove of the transmission component 1412. The gear disk rotates clockwise or counterclockwise so that the follower 1424 slides against the side wall of the groove of the transmission component 1412, thereby driving the lifting platform 1421 to move up and down along the axis of the guide post 143 and sending the golf ball out from the ball outlet 170a.

[0056] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive component 1411 is driven by a gear disk structure. In some other embodiments of this utility model, the drive component 141 can also use a telescopic connecting rod, crank rocker, or other structures to control the movement of the lifting platform 1421. No specific limitation is made here.

[0057] In one embodiment, the golf ball dispensing device 100 with a limiting function further includes a control mechanism, which includes a controller and a sensor 180. The sensor 180 is disposed on the lifting seat 142. The controller, the sensor 180, and the drive assembly 141 are electrically connected. The sensor 180 is used to detect the golf ball on the lifting seat 142 and send a detection signal. The controller is used to control the drive assembly 141 to work when it receives the detection signal from the sensor 180, so as to drive the lifting seat 142 to rise and fall.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the golf ball dispensing device 100 with a limiting function further includes a control mechanism. The control mechanism includes a controller and a sensor 180 electrically connected to the controller. The sensor 180 is disposed on the lifting platform 1421 of the lifting seat 142. A ball seat 1422 is disposed on the lifting platform 1421. Specifically, the ball seat 1422 is disposed above the lifting platform 1421. A limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the ball seat 1422. When the golf ball in the ball delivery channel 110b enters the ball loading mechanism 140, it falls into the limiting groove of the ball seat 1422 and is positioned. The lifting platform 1421 then rises and delivers it out. A through hole 1422a is provided through the ball seat 1422 along the axial direction. A through hole is provided in the middle of the lifting platform 1421 for the sensor 180 to be installed from the bottom, so that the sensor 180 can detect whether there is a golf ball on the ball seat 1422 through the through hole 1422a of the ball seat 1422. The sensor 180 can be an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, etc.

[0059] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the ball-laying mechanism 130 and the drive assembly 141. When the sensor 180 does not detect a golf ball on the tee 1422, the sensor 180 sends a first signal to the controller. The controller receives the first signal from the sensor 180 and controls the drive assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 downward to a preset position within the ball outlet 170a, and then controls the ball-laying mechanism 130 to move the golf ball in the ball-carrying channel 110b onto the tee 1422. At this time, the sensor 180 detects the golf ball on the tee 1422. After the golf ball on 22 is placed, it sends a second signal to the controller. The controller then stops the ball-laying mechanism 130 and controls the drive assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 upward so that the golf ball on the ball stand 1422 extends out of the ball outlet 170a. When the user hits the golf ball on the ball stand 1422, the sensor 180 detects that there is no ball on the ball stand 1422 and sends a first signal to the controller again. The controller then controls the drive assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 downward to a preset position within the ball outlet 170a, and the next ball-laying cycle begins.

[0060] From the above, by setting the through hole 1422a of the ball seat 1422 and one sensor 180, the number of sensors 180 is reduced under the condition of ensuring stable ball placing, and the simple structure is conducive to saving cost and reducing the assembly difficulty of the equipment. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the ball seat 1422 and the lifting platform 1421 are in a split structure, and in some other embodiments of the present application, the ball seat 1422 and the lifting platform 1421 are integrally arranged, which is not specifically limited here.

[0061] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
