When the golf ball in the ball-carrying 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 dispenses the golf ball. 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] Further, the controller is also electrically connected with the ball arranging mechanism 130 and the driving assembly 141, when the sensor 180 does not detect that the golf ball is placed on the ball seat 1422, the sensor 180 sends a first signal to the controller, the controller receives the first signal of the sensor 180 and controls the driving assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 downward to a preset position in the ball outlet hole 170a, and then controls the ball arranging mechanism 130 to operate to move the golf ball in the ball moving channel 110b to the ball seat 1422; at this time, when the sensor 180 detects the golf ball on the ball seat 1422, the sensor 180 sends a second signal to the controller, the controller controls the ball arranging mechanism 130 to stop operating, and controls the driving assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 upward to make the golf ball on the ball seat 1422 extend out of the ball outlet hole 170a, when the user hits the golf ball on the ball seat 1422, the sensor 180 detects that the ball seat 1422 is empty and sends a first signal to the controller again, the controller controls the driving assembly 141 to move the lifting seat 142 downward to the preset position in the ball outlet hole 170a, and enters the next ball placing cycle. As can be seen from the above, by arranging 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 beneficial to save cost and reduce the assembly difficulty of the equipment.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the 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 herein.

[0061] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range 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 range of the present application.
