Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7 , the power supply system 10 includes a conductive member assembly 101 and a conductive ring assembly 102 . The conductive member assembly 101 includes a conductive member 1011 (for example, the conductive member 1011 is a carbon brush or copper wire), the conductive ring assembly 102 includes a conductive ring 1022, the conductive member 1011 is electrically connected to the conductive ring 1022, and the conductive ring assembly 102 and the conductive member One of the components 101 is stationary relative to the outer cylinder 30, one of the conductive ring component 102 and the conductive component component 101 is adapted to be electrically connected to the main control board through an external wire, and the other of the conductive The inner cylinder rotates synchronously, and the other one of the conductive ring assembly 102 and the conductive member assembly 101 is electrically connected to the balancer 20 (for example, the first connection terminal hereinafter) through the wiring 103. When the inner cylinder rotates, the conductive member 1011 and the The conductive ring 1022 is always kept in contact to realize the electrical connection relationship, so it can be known that the inner cylinder is rotatable relative to one of the conductive ring assembly 102 and the conductive member assembly 101, and the inner cylinder is relative to the other of the conductive ring assembly 102 and the conductive member assembly 101. In this way, the conductive member assembly 101 and the conductive ring assembly 102 have a relative rotation relationship, and no matter how the inner cylinder rotates, the conductive member 1011 and the conductive ring 1022 always keep in contact, so that the balancer 20 and the main control board can be realized between the electrical connection.

Since the outer cylinder 30 and the main control board and other components are static, the conductive component 101 is also static, so the wiring part 10111 and the main control board are connected. There will be no entanglement of external cables connected between them.

The conductive ring assembly 102 rotates synchronously with the inner cylinder, that is to say, the conductive ring assembly 102 rotates relative to the outer cylinder 30 and the conductive member assembly 101. The conductive coil assembly 102 , the inner cylinder and the balancer 20 are rotated synchronously, so that the wiring 103 connected between the conductive coil 1022 of the conductive coil assembly 102 and the balancer 20 does not have the problem of winding.

At the same time, under the condition that the inner cylinder rotates, the conductive member 1011 of the conductive member assembly 101 and the conductive ring 1022 of the conductive ring assembly 102 are always matched and electrically connected, so that the electrical connection relationship between the main control board and the balancer 20 can be realized, so that the When the inner cylinder rotates, power is supplied to the balancer 20, and/or signal transmission between the main control board and the balancer 20 is realized, and the like.
