[0026] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0027] In order to better illustrate the design concept of the present application, the present application takes collecting table tennis balls as an example, a fan can be installed on the ball throwing machine, the fan blows the table tennis balls into the collecting box. When the player needs to start the ball throwing game, the driving device is started, since the driving device is connected to the door body 6, and the sliding rail 5 is arranged at the edge of the ball outlet 4, the driving device drives the door body 6 to slide along the sliding rail 5 to open the ball outlet 4. The present application is provided with a guide assembly on the bottom of the cavity 3 of the shell 1, when the table tennis balls enter the cavity 3 through the ball inlet channel 2 of the collecting box, the balls can be more gathered on the door body 6 at the ball outlet 4 due to the action of the guide assembly, thereby setting, when the driving device drives the door body 6 to open, more balls can directly fall from the ball outlet 4 into the game bin. The present application cooperates the sliding rail 5, the driving device and the guide assembly, when the door body 6 closes the ball outlet 4, more parts are built-in in the cavity 3, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the product. In addition, since the sliding rail 5 is directly arranged at the edge of the ball outlet 4, it is more convenient for the operator to assemble.

[0028] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the design of the driving device is matched, as shown in Figure 3 The mounting seat 71 can be installed at the ball outlet 4, the rotating motor 72 is fixedly arranged on the mounting seat 71, the gear 73 is arranged on the rotating motor 72, the gear 73 is engaged with the rack 74, and the rack 74 is fixed on the door body 6, so that when the rotating motor 72 is started, the gear 73 is driven to rotate, and the gear 73 drives the door body 6 to move along the sliding rail 5 through the engagement with the rack 74, so as to realize the opening or closing of the ball outlet 4.

[0029] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the guide assembly of the present application can be provided as follows: first guide plates 81 are arranged on both sides of the ball outlet 4, one end of the two first guide plates 81 is connected to the inner side wall of the shell 1, the first guide plates 81 extend downward from the inner side wall of the shell 1 to the ball outlet 4, and the two first guide plates 81 are commonly connected with a second guide plate 82, the second guide plate 82 extends downward from the inner side wall of the shell 1 to the ball outlet 4, when the first guide plate 81 and the second guide plate 82 are installed, the balls fall into the cavity 3 from the ball inlet channel 2, due to the action of the first guide plate 81 and the second guide plate 82, the balls will roll to the ball outlet 4 under the action of gravity, that is, when the door body 6 opens the ball outlet 4, more balls will fall out of the collecting box. On this basis, arc-shaped guide plates 83 are arranged on both sides of the guide assembly, the arc-shaped guide plates 83 are also arranged to extend from the inner side wall of the shell 1 to the ball outlet 4, that is, the balls close to the inner side wall of the shell 1 are guided to the ball outlet 4, preventing the balls close to the inner side wall of the shell 1 from rolling to the ball outlet 4.

[0030] On the basis of the above technical scheme, when the fan is used to blow the collection ball, an air outlet hole 9 is needed to be arranged on the shell 1, and the air outlet hole 9 is arranged to maintain the pressure balance between the inside and outside of the shell 1.

[0031] In order to improve the existing problems of assembly difficulty and unattractive appearance of the collection box, the door body 6 is arranged in sliding cooperation with the slide rail 5, and when the door body 6 is closed, the effect of hiding parts is achieved. In addition, the driving device is arranged in cooperation with the motor, the gear 73 and the rack 74, compared with the realization mode of the telescopic cylinder, the volume ratio can be reduced, and the driving device is suitable for the use and installation of the collection box with small collection ball.
