[0027] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the target ball 5 ball delivery mechanism is used to display and retrieve the target ball 5, including the turntable 12 ball delivery mechanism and the display and retrieval mechanism;

[0029] The ball feeding mechanism of turntable 12 has a horizontal support plate 11 and a rotatable turntable 12 that is tightly attached to the support plate 11. A servo motor is provided at the bottom end of the support plate 11, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the turntable 12. When the servo motor is started, the turntable 12 can move at the top of the support plate 11.

[0030] The turntable 12 is equipped with at least one ball cover 121 that protrudes upward from the turntable 12, and the ball cover 121 forms a ball storage chamber 122 that opens downward from the turntable 12 and passes through the turntable 12.

[0031] The support plate 11 is provided with an inlet hole 111 and an outlet hole 112 that can communicate with the ball storage chamber 122 of the ball cover 121 respectively. When the ball storage chamber 122 is connected with the inlet hole 111, the target ball 5 enters the ball storage chamber 122 after passing through the inlet hole 111. When the turntable 12 rotates relative to the support plate 11, the ball cover 121 carries the target ball 5 towards the outlet hole 112. When the ball storage chamber 122 is connected with the outlet hole 112, the target ball 5 enters the display and recycling mechanism through the outlet hole 112.

[0032] The display and recycling mechanism is equipped with a ball receiving plate 21 that can be raised and lowered in a vertical direction. The ball receiving plate 21 has a ball receiving position, a display position above the ball receiving position, and a recycling position below the ball receiving position along its direction of movement.

[0033] When the receiving plate 21 is in the receiving position, the target ball 5 falls onto the receiving plate 21 after passing through the ball exit hole 112.

[0034] When the servo motor starts and the player turns it off by pressing a button, the target ball 5 passes through the ball inlet 111 and is sent into the ball storage chamber 122. The turntable 12 continues to rotate until the ball cover 121 carrying the target ball 5 moves to the top of the ball outlet 112. Under the influence of gravity, the target ball 5 falls onto the receiving plate 21. When the receiving plate 21 moves from the receiving position to the display position, it lifts the target ball 5 to a designated height for display.

[0035] When the receiving plate 21 moves from the display position to the recovery position, the target ball 5 is removed from the receiving plate 21.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a support platform 3, which has a through hole 31 through which the ball receiving plate 21 passes. The display and recycling mechanism has a ball drop box 22 located below the through hole 31, and the ball drop box 22 forms a movement space for the ball receiving plate 21 to move in the vertical direction.

[0037] When the target ball 5 moves to the top of the ball outlet 112, the target ball 5 passes through the ball outlet 112 under the action of gravity and falls on the ball receiving plate 21. As the ball receiving plate 21 continues to descend, the target ball 5 will fall into the Ryukyu box.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the ball receiving plate 21 is provided with a through ball receiving hole 211, and a top ball post 221 that can pass through the ball receiving hole 211 is vertically arranged in the ball dropping box 22. When the ball receiving plate 21 moves to the recovery position, the top of the top ball post 221 passes through the ball receiving hole 211, so that the top ball post 221 can lift the target ball 5 inside relative to the ball receiving plate 21, so that the target ball 5 can be removed from the top ball plate.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the display and recycling mechanism is also provided with a recycling channel 23 located below the support platform 3. The entrance of the recycling channel 23 is connected to the ball drop box 22, and the top of the ball top column 221 is provided with an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the entrance.

[0040] The ball-lifting column 221 lifts the target ball 5 chamber. Under the action of the inclined surface at the top of the ball-lifting column 221, the target ball 5 will fall into the recovery channel 23 until the target ball 5 rolls into the ball drop box 22.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the display and recycling mechanism also includes a ball drop channel 24 disposed between the support platform 3 and the support plate 11. The ball drop channel 24 has a ball drop hole 241 that connects with the ball outlet hole 112 and an opening 242 that opens to the side of the perforation 31.

[0042] When the target ball 5 moves to the top of the ball outlet 112, under the action of gravity, the target ball 5 passes through the ball outlet 112 and falls into the ball drop channel 24. The target ball 5 rolls in the ball drop channel 24 and falls onto the ball receiving plate 21 through the opening 242.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the receiving plate 21 is provided with an upwardly extending guard edge 212, and the guard edge 212 forms a notch facing the opening 242. When the receiving plate 21 moves to the receiving position, the notch aligns with the opening 242.

[0044] The target ball 5 rolls in the ball drop channel 24 and falls onto the receiving plate 21 through the opening 242. To prevent the target ball 5 from rolling off the receiving plate 21, a baffle 212 is provided at the top edge of the receiving plate 21. This effectively prevents the target ball 5 from detaching from the receiving plate 21. The baffle 212 has a notch that can align with the opening 242, thus allowing the target ball 5 to roll normally onto the receiving plate 21.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the turntable 12 is equipped with two ball covers 121, and the movement trajectories of the two ball covers 121 overlap.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the turntable 12 is equipped with three ball covers 121, and the movement trajectories of the three ball covers 121 overlap.

[0047] The device for determining the result of the ball kicking includes a cabinet 4, a target ball 5 ball ejection mechanism located on the top of the cabinet 4, and a transparent cover 41 covering the target ball 5 ball ejection mechanism.

[0048] The cabinet 4 is equipped with a ball washing device 42, a first lifting device 43, and a second lifting device 44. The ball washing device 42 is used to store a number of balls. The ball washing device 42 has a ball opening 421 located directly below the ball inlet 111 and a ball return port 422 located below the ball outlet 112. A lifting channel 423 is provided between the ball opening 421 and the ball inlet 111. The first lifting device 43 is used to lift the balls located directly below the ball opening 421 in the ball washing device 42 upward into the ball storage chamber 122. The balls lifted into the ball storage chamber 122 are the target balls 5. The second lifting device 44 is used to drive the ball receiving plate 21 to rise and fall.

[0049] The ball washing device 42 washes the balls inside it while rotating to ensure fairness. When it is necessary to push one of the balls into the ball storage chamber 122, the first lifting device 43 is activated, which lifts a random ball from the ball washing device 42 into the lifting channel 423 until the ball is pushed into the ball storage chamber 122 and becomes the target ball 5. When the turntable 12 rotates relative to the support plate 11, the target ball 5 in the ball storage chamber 122 can move to the top of the ball outlet 112 and fall onto the ball receiving plate 21.

[0050] Both the first lifting device 43 and the second lifting device 44 include, but are not limited to, electric push rods.

[0051] The recycling channel 23 has an outlet that connects to the recycling port 422. After the target ball 5 falls into the recycling channel 23, it falls into the ball washing device 42 through the recycling port 422, which is convenient for reuse.

[0052] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
