[0020] Specifically, the chain transmission system comprises a plurality of triangular transmission systems, each triangular transmission system comprising two double-row sprockets 10, a single-row sprocket 4 and a cam rotating chain 9, the double-row sprockets 10 are rotatably arranged on the T-shaped plate connecting shaft 12 at the connection between the inner T-shaped plates 6 and the outer T-shaped plates 7, the single-row sprocket 4 is fixed on the cam 3 through the cam shaft 5, the cam rotating chain 9 cooperates with the two double-row sprockets 10 and the single-row sprocket 4, when the cam rotating chain 9 rotates, the double-row sprockets 10 rotate on the T-shaped plate connecting shaft 12, the single-row sprocket 4 drives the cam 3 to rotate, and the cam 3 drives the outer T-shaped plates 7 on both sides to swing outward.
