[0012] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0013] In the present utility model embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an internal circulation ball feeding mechanism, comprising: a ball feeding wheel 3 and a ball 2, the ball feeding wheel 3 is rotatably installed on the working platform, the ball 2 is provided with several groups, the inner circle of the ball feeding wheel 3 is provided with several groups of U-shaped grooves arranged in a circumference, the diameter of the U-shaped groove is slightly larger than the diameter of the ball 2, the ball feeding wheel 3 is connected with a power component, the power component is connected with the working platform, and is used to drive the ball feeding wheel 3 to rotate, the working platform is connected with the ball blocking bar 4, the ball blocking bar 4 is provided with two groups, and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inside of the ball feeding wheel 3, the ball blocking bar 4 is arc-shaped, and the outer arc abuts against the U-shaped groove, the ball blocking bar 4 is located at the upper half of the ball feeding wheel 3, and the arc length of the ball blocking bar 4 is slightly longer than one-fourth of the circumference of the ball feeding wheel 3, the top of the ball blocking bar 4 is vertically downward, and the distance between the tops of the two groups of the ball blocking bars 4 is slightly larger than the diameter of the ball 2.

[0014] The power component drives the ball feeding wheel 3 to rotate, and the ball feeding wheel 3 rotates clockwise, and the ball 2 falls into the U-shaped groove of the inner ring of the ball feeding wheel 3, and is driven by the ball feeding wheel 3 to move upward from the bottom position clockwise. When it moves to the position of the ball blocking bar 4, the ball 2 leans against the edge of the ball blocking bar 4 due to gravity, and the ball blocking bar 4 prevents the ball 2 from falling. The U-shaped groove of the inner ring of the ball feeding wheel 3 pushes the ball 2 to roll upward. When it rolls to the highest point of the ball blocking bar 4, the ball 2 falls to the bottom of the ball feeding wheel 3 through the gap between the two sets of ball blocking bars 4, and repeats the cycle to achieve the transportation of the ball 2.

[0016] A plurality of groups of limiting wheels 1 cooperate with the driving wheel 5 to limit the position of the ball-feeding rotating wheel 3, and a driving member (not shown) drives the driving wheel 5 to rotate. Under the action of friction, the rotating wheel 5 drives the ball-feeding rotating wheel 3 to rotate. The driving member can be a stepping motor, a servo motor, etc.

[0017] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: a plurality of groups of limiting wheels 1 cooperate with the driving wheel 5 to limit the position of the ball feeding wheel 3, the driving member drives the driving wheel 5 to rotate, and under the action of friction, the rotating wheel 5 drives the ball feeding wheel 3 to rotate, and the ball 2 falls into the U-shaped groove of the inner ring of the ball feeding wheel 3, and the ball 2 is driven by the ball feeding wheel 3 to move upward clockwise from the bottom position.
