[0021] One side of the rotating wheel support 1 of this embodiment is provided with a pipe support 3, a water replenishing and ball conveying assembly 7 is installed on the upper end of the pipe support 3, the ball falling pipe 8 is communicatively arranged at one end of the water replenishing and ball conveying assembly 7, the lower end of the ball returning opening 5 is communicatively provided with a ball returning pipe 4, one end of the ball returning pipe 4 is provided with the ball returning opening 5, and the lower side of one end of the water replenishing and ball conveying assembly 7 close to the ball falling pipe 8 is communicatively connected with the ball returning pipe 4 through a vertical pipe 6; the water replenishing and ball conveying assembly 7 can replenish water in the interior, prevent the water level from falling due to water loss in the interior, and orderly convey the floating floating ball into the ball falling pipe 8 through the water replenishing and ball conveying assembly 7, thereby improving the operation stability of the equipment.
[0022] Specifically, the ball cover assembly of this embodiment comprises two flip covers 14 that are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ball groove 13, both ends of the two flip covers 14 are rotatably installed on the outside of the ball groove 13 through a bearing seat 16 and a rotating shaft 17, a pressing plate 15 is vertically arranged on one side of the flip cover 14, the pressing plate 15 is located in the ball groove 13, the arc-shaped railing 9 is provided with two, and the two arc-shaped railings 9 are located between the flip cover 14 and the pressing plate 15 in the flip cover opening area; the flip cover 14 is flipped to open or close the ball groove 13, specifically, in the open state, the floating ball falls into the ball groove 13, the floating ball is pressed against the pressing plate 15, so that the flip cover 14 is flipped and closed; the arc-shaped railing 9 can prevent the flip cover 14 in the open state from being closed accidentally, and prevent the floating ball from failing to fall into the ball groove 13.
[0023] The inner wall of the ball groove 13 has a locking hole 21 at one end. The flip cover 14 has a swingable elastic locking part at the end near the locking hole 21. The elastic locking part allows the flip cover 14 to lock into the locking hole 21 after closing. Limiting blocks 11 are installed on both sides of the lower part of the rotating wheel bracket 1. The elastic locking part can press against the limiting block 11 during the rotation of the rotating wheel 12. The limiting block 11 causes the elastic locking part to swing and disengage from the locking hole 21. The elastic locking part makes the flip cover 14 more stable after closing, preventing the flip cover 14 from opening accidentally. When the elastic locking part rotates to the limiting block 11, it can disengage from the locking hole 21. Under the pressure of the float pressing against the pressure plate 15, the flip cover opens, causing the float to fall.
[0024] The elastic cover portion of this embodiment includes a swing arm 18, which is rotatably mounted on the flip cover 14 via a pin. A locking plate 19 is vertically disposed at one end of the swing arm 18. The end of the swing arm 18 near the locking plate 19 is connected to the flip cover 14 via a spring 20.

A limiting block 11 is located on the rotation circumference of the end of the swing arm 18 extending to the outside of the flip cover 14. The bevel structure at the ends of the swing arm 18 and the locking plate 19 allows the locking plate 19 to better enter the locking hole 21. At the same time, the swing arm 18 can be gradually pressed down under the action of the limiting block 11, causing the swing arm 18 to swing and the locking plate 19 to disengage from the locking hole 21, so that the flip cover 14 can be opened.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the water replenishment ball transport assembly 7 in this embodiment includes a water replenishment tank 23 installed on the upper end of the pipe rack 3. An upward floating port 24 is provided between the vertical pipe 6 and the water replenishment tank 23, and an inlet 25 is provided between the ball drop pipe 8 and the water replenishment tank 23. The upward floating port 24 is located below the inlet 25. A rotatable float arranger is provided inside the water replenishment tank 23. The floats can float up from the vertical pipe 6 and enter the water replenishment tank 23 through the upward floating port 24. The float arranger rotates, arranging the floats on the float arranger so that the floats enter the inlet 25 in sequence, thereby entering the ball drop pipe 8 in an orderly manner, making the operation of the equipment more stable.
[0026] Specifically, the float arrangement includes a rotating shaft installed inside the water supply tank 23, on which multiple curved toothed plates 26 are evenly installed. A drive motor 27 is installed on the outside of the water supply tank 23 and mounted on the pipe rack 3. The drive motor 27 is connected to the rotating shaft. The multiple curved toothed plates 26 can rotate inside the water supply tank 23. Because there are gaps on the curved toothed plates 26, it prevents the water in the water supply tank 23 from being carried up at the same time, and effectively arranges the floats on each curved toothed plate 26.
[0027] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, a water supply pipe 22 is provided at the end of the water supply tank 23 away from the ball drop pipe 8. A water pump can be installed at the lower end of the water supply pipe 22 so as to replenish water to the inside of the water supply tank 23.
