Abstract

A device and a method for automatic swing control are disclosed. The device and method are used for the automatic swing control of an overhang. The device for automatic swing control comprises an actuator and a movable block. The movable block comprises a hanger and an angle sensing device. The hanger is pivotably mounted on the lower end of the movable block and is used to suspend the overhang. The angle sensing device is electrically connected to the actuator, and used to sense the movement parameters of the hanger, and starts the selective rotation of the actuator when the swing angle is less than a preset value, so that when the hanger is at its predicted highest swing position, the movable block moves toward the direction where the hanger is about to move after the hanger passes its actual highest swing position to drag the overhang to swing.
