One end of the support connector 20 is fastened to the output end of the drive assembly, and the other end of the support connector 20 is circumferentially fixed to the output end of the drive assembly. The other end of the support connector 20 is rotatably mounted on a fixed shaft 1011 on the other side of the rolling ball shell 10, and the fixed shaft 1011 has a shaft cavity. When the rolling ball shell 10 is started, the rotating shaft 506 rotates, thereby driving the support connector 20 to rotate. At this time, the support connector 20 is always kept on one side of the ball due to gravity, thus providing support for the rolling ball shell 10, allowing the rolling ball shell 10 to roll forward quickly. In addition, the support connector 20 of this application can be a semi-circular arc or a ring. The shaft cavity is used to accommodate and install components as needed, such as a charging base 401, control buttons 402, etc., to meet the needs of different people.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drive assembly further includes a gear assembly 50; the electronic control assembly 40 further includes a motor 404 and a battery 403; a charging power supply inserted into the charging socket 401 can charge the battery 403, and the motor 404 and the battery 403 are electrically connected; a control button 402 can control the motor 404 to rotate, thereby driving the gear assembly 50 to rotate; the gear assembly 50 includes a first gear 501, a gear shaft 502, a double gear 503, a second gear 504, and a rotating shaft 506; the gear assembly 50 is installed in a mounting slot inside the rolling ball housing 10; the motor 404 drives the first gear 501 to output power, which is transmitted to the second gear 504 via the double gear 503 installed on the gear shaft 502, and the rotating shaft 506 is coaxially and circumferentially fixed on the first gear 501. Specifically, a mounting slot is provided on one side of the output end of the drive component. This mounting slot houses the gearbox, which consists of multiple stacked gears to achieve the effect of speed reduction and torque increase. The gearbox is fixed to one side of the rolling ball housing 10 by the left shell cover 104.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shaft cavity of the fixed shaft 1011 is configured as a button hole 1012 and a charging port 1013; the charging base 401 and the control button 402 are installed in the shaft cavity and extend out of the end face of the fixed shaft 1011 through the charging port 1013 and the button hole 1012, respectively.

[0035] Preferably, the outer sides of the right shell 102 and left shell 103 are covered with a soft rubber coating 30, and the support connector 20 is connected to a hanging ornament 60.
