[0030] The chain tool magazine of the present invention is placed vertically, and the driving wheel 4 is driven by the operation of the power source servo motor to drive the rotation of the chain 2. The convex teeth of the chain 2 will push the ball 11 in the lubricating device 7, so that a gap will be generated between the ball 11 and the oil outlet 10, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank 8 can drip freely from the gap onto the chain 2. During the operation of the chain 2, the ball 11 will be continuously pushed, so that the lubricating device 7 can continuously apply lubricating oil to the chain 2, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the chain 2, and the lubricated chain 2 will also lubricate the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5 while meshing with the two.

[0031] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the oil outlet hole 10 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 11, and the oil outlet hole 10 is tightly fitted with the ball 11;

[0032] The diameter of the oil outlet hole 10 in the lubricating device 7 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 11. The ball 11 is placed on the oil outlet hole 10, and a part of the ball 11 protrudes outside the oil outlet hole 10. Due to the weight of the ball 11 itself, the ball 11 and the oil outlet hole 10 will fit tightly to prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out of the gap.

[0033] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the ball 11 is provided with a support rod 1101, and a first rotating rod 1102 is provided at the joint between the support rod 1101 and the ball 11, and the ball 11 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 1102;

[0034] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the oil pipe 9 is provided with grooves 901 on both sides near the oil outlet hole 10, and an elastic spring 902 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the groove 901, and the other end of the elastic spring 902 is elastically connected to the support rod 1101;

[0035] During operation, when the chain 2 rotates, through the rotational connection between the ball 11 and the first rotating rod 1102, when the convex teeth on the inner side of the chain 2 push the ball 11, the rolling of the ball 11 can reduce the friction between the two, and through the elastic connection between the elastic spring 902 and the support rod 1101, when the convex teeth hit the ball 11, the ball 11 can be pulled upward under the action of the convex teeth of the chain 2 and the elastic spring 902, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the chain 2.

[0036] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, an airbag 101 is provided on the outer surface of the chain tool magazine end face 1, and the airbag 101 is fixedly connected to the chain tool magazine end face 1 through a fixing plate 102, and the air outlet of the airbag 101 faces the chain 2, and the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5 are both fixedly connected to a cam 103 on the surface of the chain tool magazine end face 1 through a connecting rod 104, and the convex surface of the cam 103 squeezes the airbag 101;

[0037] The airbag 101 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the chain tool magazine end face 1 through a fixing plate 102, and the air outlet of the airbag 101 is downward toward the chain 2. The driving wheel 4 drives the chain 2 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 5. The driven wheel 5 drives the cam 103 fixedly connected to it to rotate through the connecting rod 104. The airbag 101 will blow air to the chain 2 while being squeezed by the cam, cool down the chain 2 that has been running for a long time, and blow the lubricating oil dripping on the chain 2, thereby increasing the contact area between the lubricating oil and the chain 2 and better improving the lubrication effect. In the process of being squeezed and expanded, the airbag 101 will inhale air into the inside, and can also achieve a cooling effect by accelerating the air flow rate at the air outlet.

[0038] As a specific implementation of the present invention, a thread 801 is formed on the outer surface of the box opening of the oil tank 8 , and a thread groove 802 is formed on the upper inner surface of the oil pipe 9 .

[0043] Working principle: The chain tool magazine of the present invention is placed vertically. The driving wheel 4 is driven by the power source servo motor to drive the chain 2 to rotate. The convex teeth of the chain 2 will push the ball 11 in the lubricating device 7, so that a gap will be generated between the ball 11 and the oil outlet 10, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank 8 can freely drip from the gap onto the chain 2. During the operation of the chain 2, the ball 11 will be continuously pushed so that the lubricating device 7 can continuously apply lubricating oil to the chain 2, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the chain 2, and the lubricated chain 2 will also lubricate the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5 while meshing with them. The diameter of the oil outlet 10 in the lubricating device 7 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 11. The ball 11 is placed on the oil outlet 10, and a part of the ball 11 will protrude outside the oil outlet 10. Due to the weight of the ball 11 itself, the ball 11 and the oil outlet 10 will fit tightly to prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out of the gap. During the rotation of the chain 2, through the rotational connection between the ball 11 and the first rotating rod 1102, when the convex teeth on the inner side of the chain 2 push the ball 11, the rolling of the ball 11 can reduce the friction between the two, and through the elastic connection between the elastic spring 902 and the support rod 1101, when the convex teeth hit the ball 11, the ball 11 can be pulled upward under the action of the convex teeth of the chain 2 and the elastic spring 902, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the chain 2. The airbag 101 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the chain tool magazine end face 1 through a fixing plate 102, and the air outlet of the airbag 101 is downwardly facing the chain 2. The driving wheel 4 drives the rotation of the chain 2 to drive the driven wheel 5, and the driven wheel 5 drives the cam 103 fixedly connected to it to rotate through the connecting rod 104. The airbag 101 will blow air to the chain 2 while being squeezed by the cam, cool down the chain 2 that has been running for a long time, and blow the lubricating oil dripping on the chain 2, increase the contact area between the lubricating oil and the chain 2, and better improve the lubrication effect. The airbag 101 will inhale air into the inside during the process of being squeezed and expanded, and can also achieve the effect of cooling by accelerating the air flow rate of the air outlet. The outer surface of the box mouth of the oil tank 8 is provided with a thread 801, and the upper inner surface of the oil tank 8 is provided with a thread groove 802, so that the oil tank 8 can be installed and disassembled by rotating the thread 801.
