AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing tennis ball retrieval vehicles have strong damping when collecting tennis balls, making operation laborious, and the equipment is bulky and inconvenient to carry, resulting in a poor user experience.

Method used

A short-tube, dispersed ball-collecting structure was designed to limit the ball-scoring area to the roller position. Friction wheels and curved friction plates are used to clamp the tennis ball, reducing the number of tennis balls squeezed each time and lowering the damping sensation. The structure is simplified by using two independent single-ball entry channels.

Benefits of technology

It significantly reduces the damping sensation during operation, making pushing and pulling easier, providing more stable resistance feedback, minimizing changes in resistance feedback from the handle, resulting in a smoother ball retrieval process, reduced weight of the ball retrieval cart, and significant portability.
