[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0015] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0016] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 , 2A small ball circulation viewing device includes a water storage base 1, a partition 2 sealed at the upper end of the water storage base 1, a transparent shell 3 for water storage sealed on the partition 2, a transparent inner tube 4 installed at the center of the transparent shell 3, a ball inlet 5 at the lower end of the transparent inner tube 4, a reflux zone 6 formed between the transparent inner tube 4 and the transparent shell 3, the upper end of the transparent inner tube 4 communicating with the reflux zone 6, and an exhaust vent 7 installed inside the transparent inner tube 4 on the partition 2 for connecting the water storage base 1 and the transparent shell 3. The side wall pipe of seat 1 is connected to an air pump 8. Several small balls 9 for circulation are placed inside the transparent shell 3. The air pump and the exhaust device work together to drive the water flow, causing the small balls to circulate between the transparent inner tube and the return zone. This not only solves the problem of high noise in traditional motor-driven devices, but also allows the audience to clearly observe the circulation path of the small balls driven by the water flow, as well as the flow state of the water. In addition to leisure and entertainment and home decoration, it can also be used as a science popularization display device to intuitively demonstrate the relevant principles of fluid mechanics to the audience. It is especially suitable for children's science popularization scenarios, realizing the dual value of "viewing" and "popularizing science".

[0018] Furthermore, a fixing bracket 19 is provided at the upper end of the transparent shell 3, and a fixing hole is provided at the center of the fixing bracket 19. The upper end of the transparent inner tube 4 is inserted into the fixing hole. Since the diameter of the transparent inner tube 4 is relatively small but its height is relatively high, if there is no limit at the upper end of the transparent inner tube 4, it may be inserted at an angle. However, after being fixed by the fixing bracket 19, the installation strength of the device can be effectively improved.

[0019] During use, both the water storage base 1 and the transparent shell 3 are filled with sufficient water. When the air pump 8 is started, air is pumped into the water storage base 1, forming a large number of bubbles. These bubbles enter the transparent inner tube 4 through the exhaust device 7, forming an upward-moving bubble flow in the transparent inner tube 4, thereby pushing the ball upward. When the ball reaches the top of the transparent inner tube 4, it enters the return zone 6 and slowly sinks. When the ball sinks to the position of the inlet 5, it returns to the transparent inner tube 4 through the inlet 5, forming a cycle.

[0020] Furthermore, the overall density of the small ball 9 is greater than that of water, but the difference is not particularly large, ensuring that the water flow can propel it upwards, and that it sinks slowly rather than rapidly when it sinks. For example, if the small ball 9 is a hollow plastic ball, a counterweight can be placed inside the plastic ball.

[0021] A ball collecting component 10 is installed on the top surface of the partition 2. The ball collecting component 10 is concave from the outside to the center. An embedding hole is provided in the center of the ball collecting component 10. The lower end of the transparent inner tube 4 is inserted into the embedding hole, so that the small balls falling back to the top surface of the partition 2 can be quickly and accurately gathered into the ball inlet 5 under the guidance of the ball collecting component 10, avoiding the accumulation of small balls on the partition 2 and causing the circulation to be interrupted, thus significantly improving the stability of the ball circulation.

[0022] The partition 2 has a connecting hole 11 at its center, and the exhaust component 7 is installed at the connecting hole 11.

[0023] Waterproof LED beads 12 are installed inside the water storage base 1. The power interface 13 of the waterproof LED beads 12 is located on the outside of the water storage base 1. It can illuminate the small ball circulation scene from the bottom of the device. Through the combination of light, water flow and small ball, a more layered and visually appealing dynamic visual effect is created. Especially in a dimly lit environment, it can further highlight the display effect of the device. It is suitable for presenting scene details in science popularization displays and creating atmosphere in home decoration.

[0024] Therefore, the partition 2, the ball collecting component 10, etc., all need to be made of transparent materials.

[0025] Furthermore, a sleeve shell 18 is fitted on the outer side of the water storage base 1. The sleeve shell 18 is made of a non-transparent material to avoid exposing the internal structure and improve the aesthetics.

[0026] The top of the transparent housing 3 is equipped with a fixing base 14 for fixing to the wall. The fixing base 14 includes a fixing sleeve 15 fitted onto the top of the transparent housing 3. A connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing sleeve 15. An adjustable mounting base 17 is installed on the connecting plate 16 along the direction of the transparent housing 3. The mounting base 17 is used to fix to the wall. When the device is placed at a distance of 15 or 20 centimeters from the wall, the position of the mounting base 17 can be adjusted to adapt to the installation situation of the site without moving the entire device. This is especially useful when water is already placed inside the transparent housing 3, as the weight is relatively large and it is inconvenient to move the whole device.

[0027] An LED light panel 20 is installed inside the mounting base 14 to further improve the lighting effect.

[0028] In this application, all connection points of the transparent shell 3, partition 2, water storage base 1, etc. are sealed (e.g., sealed with adhesive), which effectively prevents water and air leakage and further ensures the reliability of the device operation.
