The invention relates to an automatic lifting and releasing device for a ball falling instrument, which is characterized in that smooth circular shafts are rotatably mounted at the upper and lower ends of a main
body frame, transmission gears are mounted on the smooth circular shafts at intervals, a transmission chain is connected between the transmission gears, fixed blocks are mounted at the front ends of the main
body frame and a bottom platform, and optical shaft guide rails penetrate through the fixed blocks; a ball falling instrument bearing frame is arranged on the
optical axis guide rail in a sliding mode through a sliding block, the back face of the ball falling instrument bearing frame is connected to a transmission chain, an
electromagnet is arranged at the bottom of the ball falling instrument bearing frame, and the
microcontroller can control on-off of the
electromagnet and lifting of the ball falling instrument bearing frame to achieve lifting or releasing of the ball falling instrument. And meanwhile, the electric driving wheel can be controlled to drive the device to automatically move to a specified
test point. Full-automatic operation of lifting, releasing and moving of the falling ball instrument is achieved, the falling ball height control and point position transfer process does not need to be manually intervened, the labor intensity of detection personnel is effectively reduced, automatic cycle operation is achieved, and the working efficiency of roadbed detection is greatly improved.
