Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chicken leg ring technology, specifically to an automated chicken farming leg ring installation device and method. Background Technology

[0002] A chicken leg band is an identification tag worn on a chicken's foot for identification, tracking, and preventing loss or theft. They are typically made of plastic, which is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to wear. They come in various colors and can be customized. They are usually made of non-toxic plastic and will not harm the chicken's feet. Common types include flat-top leg bands and snap-on leg bands. Flat-top leg bands are simply slipped onto the chicken's foot, while snap-on leg bands are secured with a buckle for a more secure fit. For chicks, leg bands can usually be worn shortly after hatching, when their feet are small and easier to put on. Gently hold the chicken's foot and slowly slip the leg band on, ensuring it fits properly – not too tight to restrict blood circulation, and not too loose to slip off. For adult chickens, more care is needed to prevent injury from struggling. Usually, two people are required: one holds the chicken's body and wings while the other quickly slips the leg band on and secures it. For snap-on leg bands or those with special securing mechanisms, follow the instructions carefully before installation.

[0003] Chinese patent CN209812186U discloses a device for installing and removing electronic ankle bracelets for homing pigeons, comprising a working section, a supporting section, and a holding section. Each of these sections has a certain degree of curvature. The angle between the inner arc surface of the working section and the inner arc surface of the supporting section is an obtuse angle. The working section includes an extension and an arc-shaped portion whose outer side conforms to the inner arc of the electronic ankle bracelet. The arc-shaped portion is connected to the extension via a transition section. The end of the extension away from the arc-shaped portion is connected to the supporting section. A rotating groove is provided at the end of the supporting section away from the extension. One end of the holding section is connected to the rotating groove via a rotating shaft.

[0004] However, the technical solution of this patent has the following problems:

[0005] This patent cannot perform pre-clamping while continuously feeding materials, nor can it continuously install chicken leg rings, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0006] Based on this, the present invention designs an automated chicken farming leg ring installation device and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an automated chicken farming leg ring installation device and method.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An automated chicken farming leg ring installation device includes a bottom shell and a top cover, and further includes a clamping device, a locking device, a pushing device, and a feeding device. The top cover is fixedly installed on the upper side of the bottom shell. The clamping device is installed inside the bottom shell on the left side. The locking device is installed on the left side of the clamping device. The pushing device is installed on the lower left side outside the bottom shell. The feeding device is installed on the lower right side outside the bottom shell. The clamping device includes a sliding shell, a sliding plate, a transmission rod, and a clamping plate. The sliding shell is slidably connected inside the bottom shell on the left side. The sliding plate is slidably connected inside the sliding shell on the middle side. The two transmission rods are symmetrically rotated and connected to the sliding plate along the central axis of the sliding plate. The left side of the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the right end of the transmission rod away from the sliding plate via a rotating shaft. The middle side of the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the sliding shell via a rotating shaft. An inclined surface is provided on the right side of the bottom shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping device also includes a silicone pad and a first guide wheel. The silicone pad is fixedly installed on the right side of the clamping plate near the central axis of the bottom shell. The silicone pad is used for anti-slip during clamping. The first guide wheel is rotatably connected to the right side of the clamping plate away from the central axis of the bottom shell through a rotating shaft. The side of the first guide wheel away from the clamping plate is in close contact with the inclined surface.

[0011] Furthermore, a first tension spring is fixedly installed on the middle side of the sliding shell, and the end of the first tension spring away from the sliding shell is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the upper cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking device includes a sliding frame and an electromagnetic actuator. The sliding frame is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding shell and is located on the left side of the sliding plate. A plurality of electromagnetic actuators are fixedly installed on the left side of the sliding shell, and the output end of the electromagnetic actuator is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the sliding frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking device also includes: a linear bearing, a linear guide shaft, a limiting plate, and a spring. The linear bearing is fixedly installed on the right side of the sliding frame. The linear guide shaft is slidably connected to the linear bearing in the middle. The right side of the linear guide shaft is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the sliding plate. The limiting plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the linear guide shaft. The spring is disposed on the linear guide shaft, with one end of the spring tightly attached to the limiting plate and the other end of the spring tightly attached to the linear bearing.

[0014] Furthermore, the pushing device includes: a support frame, a rotating handle, a driven frame, and a torsion spring. The support frame is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the outer side of the bottom shell. The rotating handle is rotatably connected to the right side of the support frame via a rotating shaft. The driven frame is rotatably connected to the left side of the support frame via a rotating shaft. The torsion spring is disposed on the rotating shaft of the driven frame. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the driven frame, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the support frame. A second guide wheel is rotatably connected to the end of the driven frame near the rotating handle via a rotating shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, a first slot is provided on the lower left side of the bottom shell, and the upper side of the driven frame slides through the first slot and is slidably connected within the first slot.

[0016] Furthermore, a second slot is provided on the left side of the sliding shell, and the end of the driven frame away from the first slot is slidably connected in the second slot.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding device includes: a shaped tube, a guide rod, a shaped frame, a third guide wheel, a push plate, and a second tension spring. The right side of the shaped tube is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the outer shell. The guide rod is fixedly installed inside the shaped tube. The shaped frame is set on the guide rod. The three third guide wheels are rotatably connected to the shaped frame via a rotating shaft. Two of the third guide wheels are located on the upper side of the guide rod, and one third guide wheel is located on the lower side of the guide rod. The push plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the shaped frame. One end of the second tension spring is fixedly connected to the upper right side inside the shaped tube, and the other end of the second tension spring is fixedly connected to the shaped frame. A protrusion is provided on the lower side of the shaped tube to limit the position of the chicken foot ring on the shaped tube.

[0018] To better achieve the objectives of this invention, this invention also provides a method for installing a leg ring for automated chicken farming, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Pull the irregular frame with the push plate. The irregular frame moves to the left on the guide rod, causing the second tension spring to be stretched and undergo elastic deformation. When the irregular frame moves to the leftmost side of the irregular tube, place the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube. The protrusion on the lower side of the irregular tube restricts the position of the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube. After the chicken foot ring is placed, release the push plate. The elastically deformed second tension spring returns to its original state and pulls the irregular frame and push plate to the leftmost position of the chicken foot ring, so that the chicken foot ring always has a tendency to move to the right on the irregular tube.

[0020] Step Two: Hold the support frame and rotating handle of the pushing device with one hand, place the chicken foot in a suitable position on the right side of the bottom shell, and tighten the rotating handle to rotate it towards the support frame. The clockwise rotation of the rotating handle causes the driven frame to rotate clockwise, which in turn causes the sliding shell to move to the right. The movement of the sliding shell to the right causes the first tension spring to deform elastically. The movement of the sliding shell to the right causes the clamping plate to move to the right, which causes the first guide wheel on the right side of the clamping plate to contact the inclined surface. This causes both clamping plates to rotate while moving to the right, pushing out one of the chicken foot rings and pre-clamping it. The rotation of the clamping plate to the right causes the transmission rod to rotate while moving to the right, which in turn causes the sliding plate to move to the right a certain distance. The movement of the sliding plate to the right causes the linear guide shaft to slide to the right within the linear bearing. The movement of the linear guide shaft to the right within the linear bearing causes the limiting plate to move to the right, which causes the spring to deform elastically.

[0021] Step 3: Turn on the power to the electromagnetic actuator. The output end of the electromagnetic actuator extends and drives the sliding frame to move to the right. The sliding frame moves a short distance to the right, and the elastically deformed spring returns to its initial state. The movement of the sliding frame to the right drives the limiting plate to move to the right. The movement of the limiting plate to the right drives the sliding plate to move to the right. The movement of the sliding plate to the right drives the transmission rod to move to the right. The transmission rod moves to the right and rotates at the same time, driving the clamping plate to move to the right and rotates at the same time, locking the pre-clamped chicken leg ring. The chicken leg ring installation is complete.

[0022] Step 4: Release the rotating handle of the push device. The first tension spring, which has undergone elastic deformation, will return to its original position and pull the sliding shell back to its initial position. Release the power supply of the electromagnetic pusher. The output end of the electromagnetic pusher will return to its initial state, ready for the installation of the next chicken leg ring.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention rotates the handle in the direction of the support frame by gripping the rotating handle. The clockwise rotation of the rotating handle drives the driven frame to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the driven frame drives the sliding shell to move to the right. The rightward movement of the sliding shell causes the first tension spring to undergo elastic deformation. The rightward movement of the sliding shell drives the clamping plate to move to the right. The rightward movement of the clamping plate causes the first guide wheel on the right side of the clamping plate to contact the inclined surface. This causes both clamping plates to rotate while moving to the right, pushing out one of the chicken foot rings and pre-clamping it. This facilitates pushing out the chicken foot rings one by one for easy installation in the next step. Pre-clamping while pushing out the chicken foot rings prevents them from falling out of the equipment.

[0024] 2. The extension of the output end of the electromagnetic actuator drives the sliding frame to move to the right. After the sliding frame moves a short distance to the right, the elastically deformed spring returns to its initial state. The movement of the sliding frame to the right drives the limiting plate to move to the right, which in turn drives the sliding plate to move to the right. The movement of the sliding plate to the right drives the transmission rod to move to the right, and the transmission rod rotates as it moves to the right, which in turn drives the clamping plate to move to the right and rotates, locking the pre-clamped chicken foot ring. This facilitates the rapid locking of the pre-clamped chicken foot ring and allows for continuous locking of the chicken foot ring.

[0025] 3. The irregular frame is pulled by the push plate, and the irregular frame moves to the left on the guide rod, causing the second tension spring to be stretched and undergo elastic deformation. When the irregular frame moves to the leftmost side of the irregular tube, the chicken foot ring is placed on the irregular tube. The position of the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube is restricted by the protrusion on the lower side of the irregular tube. After the chicken foot ring is placed, the push plate is released, and the elastically deformed second tension spring returns to its original state, pulling the irregular frame and the push plate to the leftmost position of the chicken foot ring. This ensures that the chicken foot ring always tends to move to the right on the irregular tube, which is beneficial for the continuous automatic feeding of the chicken foot ring.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0043] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0044] Example 1: In some examples, please refer to Figures 1-12 An automated chicken farming leg ring installation device includes a bottom shell 1 and a top cover 2, and also includes a clamping device 3, a locking device 4, a pushing device 5, and a feeding device 6. The top cover 2 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the bottom shell 1. The clamping device 3 is installed on the left side inside the bottom shell 1. The locking device 4 is installed on the left side of the clamping device 3. The pushing device 5 is installed on the lower left side outside the bottom shell 1. The feeding device 6 is installed on the lower right side outside the bottom shell 1. The clamping device 3 includes a sliding shell 31, a sliding plate 32, a transmission rod 33, and a clamping plate 34. The sliding shell 31 is slidably connected to the left side inside the bottom shell 1. The sliding plate 32 is slidably connected to the middle side inside the sliding shell 31. The two transmission rods 33 are symmetrically rotated and connected to the sliding plate 32 along the central axis of the sliding plate 32. The left side of the clamping plate 34 is rotatably connected to the right side of the transmission rod 33 away from the sliding plate 32 via a rotating shaft. The middle side of the clamping plate 34 is rotatably connected to the sliding shell 31 via a rotating shaft. An inclined surface 35 is provided on the right side of the bottom shell 1.

[0045] The chicken foot ring is pre-clamped by the clamping device 3, so that one of the chicken foot rings is pushed out and locked on the clamping device 3. The chicken foot is placed in a suitable position, and the pre-clamped chicken foot ring is locked by the locking device 4, so that the chicken foot ring is quickly locked on the chicken foot. The chicken foot ring is continuously fed by the feeding device 6.

[0046] The pushing device 5 drives the sliding shell 31 of the clamping device 3 to move to the right, which in turn drives the sliding plate 32, transmission rod 33 and clamping plate 34 on the sliding shell 31 to move to the right. The clamping plate 34 moves to the right, and the inclined surface 35 causes the clamping plate 34 to rotate while moving to the right. The right sides of the two clamping plates 34 move closer to each other, while the left sides of the two clamping plates 34 move further apart. The rotation of the clamping plate 34 drives the transmission rod 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission rod 33 causes the sliding plate 32 to move a small distance to the right.

[0047] The clamping device 3 further includes a silicone pad 36 and a first guide wheel 37. The silicone pad 36 is fixedly installed on the right side of the clamping plate 34 near the central axis of the bottom shell 1. The silicone pad 36 is used for anti-slip during clamping. The first guide wheel 37 is rotatably connected to the right side of the clamping plate 34 away from the central axis of the bottom shell 1 through a rotating shaft. The side of the first guide wheel 37 away from the clamping plate 34 is in close contact with the inclined surface 35.

[0048] The clamping plate 34 moves to the right, causing the first guide wheel 37 on the right side of the clamping plate 34 to contact the inclined surface 35, so that the two clamping plates 34 move quickly to the right and rotate at the same time. The silicone pad 36 is used for anti-slip during clamping, so that the clamping plate 34 moves to the right and quickly pre-clamps the chicken foot ring.

[0049] A first tension spring 7 is fixedly installed on the middle side of the sliding shell 31, and the end of the first tension spring 7 away from the sliding shell 31 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the upper cover 2.

[0050] The sliding shell 31 moves to the right, causing the first tension spring 7 to undergo elastic deformation. When the pushing device 5 is released, the elastically deformed first tension spring 7 returns to its original position, pulling the sliding shell 31 back to its initial position.

[0051] The locking device 4 includes a sliding frame 41 and an electromagnetic actuator 42. The sliding frame 41 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding shell 31. The sliding frame 41 is located on the left side of the sliding plate 32. A plurality of electromagnetic actuators 42 are fixedly installed on the left side of the sliding shell 31. The output end of the electromagnetic actuator 42 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the sliding frame 41.

[0052] When the electromagnetic actuator 42 of the locking device 4 is activated, the output end of the electromagnetic actuator 42 extends and drives the sliding frame 41 to move to the right, and the sliding frame 41 moves a short distance to the right.

[0053] The locking device 4 further includes: a linear bearing 43, a linear guide shaft 44, a limiting plate 45, and a spring 46. The linear bearing 43 is fixedly installed on the right side of the sliding frame 41. The linear guide shaft 44 is slidably connected to the linear bearing 43 in the middle. The right side of the linear guide shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the sliding plate 32. The limiting plate 45 is fixedly installed on the left side of the linear guide shaft 44. The spring 46 is disposed on the linear guide shaft 44. One end of the spring 46 is in close contact with the limiting plate 45, and the other end of the spring 46 is in close contact with the linear bearing 43.

[0054] The sliding plate 32 moves a short distance to the right to push out and pre-clamp the chicken foot ring. The sliding plate 32 moves to the right, causing the linear guide shaft 44 to slide to the right within the linear bearing 43. The sliding of the linear guide shaft 44 to the right within the linear bearing 43 causes the limiting plate 45 to move to the right. The movement of the limiting plate 45 to the right causes the spring 46 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0055] When the chicken leg ring is installed and the equipment is restored to its original state, the spring 46, which has undergone elastic deformation, returns to its original state. At this time, the spring 46 is in its initial state. The spring 46 in the initial state has a certain elastic deformation, which pushes the limiting plate 45 to the leftmost side. Through the cooperation of the sliding plate 32 and the transmission rod 33, the clamping plate 34 is always in the unfolded state, which makes it easy for the chicken leg ring to enter between the two clamping plates 34 and facilitates the smooth feeding of the chicken leg ring.

[0056] The sliding frame 41 moves to the right, causing the limiting plate 45 to move to the right. The limiting plate 45 moves to the right, causing the sliding plate 32 to move to the right. The sliding plate 32 moves to the right, causing the transmission rod 33 to move to the right. The transmission rod 33 moves to the right and rotates at the same time, causing the clamping plate 34 to move to the right and rotate at the same time, locking the pre-clamped chicken foot ring.

[0057] Example 2: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-12 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing device 5 includes: a support frame 51, a rotating handle 52, a driven frame 53, and a torsion spring 54. The support frame 51 is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the outer side of the bottom shell 1. The rotating handle 52 is rotatably connected to the right side of the support frame 51 via a rotating shaft. The driven frame 53 is rotatably connected to the left side of the support frame 51 via a rotating shaft. The torsion spring 54 is disposed on the rotating shaft of the driven frame 53. One end of the torsion spring 54 is fixedly connected to the driven frame 53, and the other end of the torsion spring 54 is fixedly connected to the support frame 51. A second guide wheel 55 is rotatably connected to the end of the driven frame 53 near the rotating handle 52 via a rotating shaft.

[0058] Hold the support frame 51 and the rotating handle 52 of the push device 5 with one hand. Grip the rotating handle 52 tightly so that the rotating handle 52 rotates in the direction of the support frame 51. The rotating handle 52 rotates clockwise, which drives the driven frame 53 to rotate clockwise. The second guide wheel 55 of the driven frame 53 is used to reduce the friction when the driven frame 53 and the rotating handle 52 are in contact. The clockwise rotation of the driven frame 53 drives the sliding shell 31 to move to the right.

[0059] The bottom shell 1 has a first slot 8 on its lower left side, and the driven frame 53 is slidably connected to the first slot 8 through its upper side.

[0060] The sliding shell 31 has a second slot 38 on its left side, and the driven frame 53 is slidably connected to the second slot 38 at the end away from the first slot 8.

[0061] The driven frame 53 rotates clockwise, and the upper side of the driven frame 53 abuts against the second slot 38 of the sliding shell 31, causing the sliding shell 31 to move to the right.

[0062] The feeding device 6 includes: a shaped tube 61, a guide rod 62, a shaped frame 63, a third guide wheel 64, a push plate 65, and a second tension spring 66. The right side of the shaped tube 61 is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the outer shell 1. The guide rod 62 is fixedly installed inside the shaped tube 61. The shaped frame 63 is mounted on the guide rod 62. Three third guide wheels 64 are rotatably connected to the shaped frame 63 via a rotating shaft. Two third guide wheels 64 are located on the upper side of the guide rod 62, and one third guide wheel 64 is located on the lower side of the guide rod 62. The third guide wheels 64 allow the shaped frame 63 to slide quickly on the guide rod 62. The push plate 65 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the shaped frame 63. One end of the second tension spring 66 is fixedly connected to the upper right side inside the shaped tube 61, and the other end of the second tension spring 66 is fixedly connected to the shaped frame 63. A protrusion 67 is provided on the lower side of the shaped tube 61 to limit the position of the chicken foot ring on the shaped tube 61.

[0063] The push plate 65 pulls the irregular frame 63, which moves to the left on the guide rod 62, causing the second tension spring 66 to be stretched and undergo elastic deformation. When the irregular frame 63 moves to the leftmost side of the irregular tube 61, the chicken foot ring is placed on the irregular tube 61. The protrusion 67 on the lower side of the irregular tube 61 restricts the position of the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube 61. After the chicken foot ring is placed, the push plate 65 is released, and the elastically deformed second tension spring 66 returns to its original state, pulling the irregular frame 63 and the push plate 65 to the leftmost position of the chicken foot ring. This ensures that the chicken foot ring always tends to move to the right on the irregular tube 61, which is beneficial for the automatic feeding of the chicken foot ring.

[0064] Example 3: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-12As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for installing a leg ring for automated chicken farming includes the following steps:

[0065] Step 1: Pull the irregular frame 63 with the push plate 65. The irregular frame 63 moves to the left on the guide rod 62, causing the second tension spring 66 to be stretched and undergo elastic deformation. When the irregular frame 63 moves to the leftmost side of the irregular tube 61, place the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube 61. The protrusion 67 on the lower side of the irregular tube 61 restricts the position of the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube 61. After the chicken foot ring is placed, release the push plate 65. The elastically deformed second tension spring 66 returns to its original state and pulls the irregular frame 63 and the push plate 65 to the leftmost position of the chicken foot ring, so that the chicken foot ring always has a tendency to move to the right on the irregular tube 61.

[0066] Step 2: Hold the support frame 51 and the rotating handle 52 of the pushing device 5 with one hand, place the chicken foot in a suitable position on the right side of the bottom shell 1, and tighten the rotating handle 52 to rotate it towards the support frame 51. The clockwise rotation of the rotating handle 52 causes the driven frame 53 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the driven frame 53 causes the sliding shell 31 to move to the right. The rightward movement of the sliding shell 31 causes the first tension spring 7 to undergo elastic deformation. The rightward movement of the sliding shell 31 causes the clamping plate 34 to move to the right. The rightward movement of the clamping plate 34 causes the first guide wheel 37 on the right side of the clamping plate 34 to move to the right. When the contact slope 35 is reached, the two clamping plates 34 move to the right and rotate simultaneously, pushing out one of the chicken foot rings and pre-clamping it. The rotation of the clamping plate 34 to the right drives the transmission rod 33 to move to the right and rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the transmission rod 33 to the right drives the sliding plate 32 to move to the right a certain distance. The movement of the sliding plate 32 to the right drives the linear guide shaft 44 to slide to the right within the linear bearing 43. The movement of the linear guide shaft 44 to the right within the linear bearing 43 drives the limiting plate 45 to move to the right. The movement of the limiting plate 45 to the right causes the spring 46 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0067] Step 3: Turn on the power to the electromagnetic actuator 42. The output end of the electromagnetic actuator 42 extends and drives the sliding frame 41 to move to the right. The sliding frame 41 moves a short distance to the right, and the spring 46, which has undergone elastic deformation, returns to its initial state. The sliding frame 41 moves to the right and drives the limiting plate 45 to move to the right. The limiting plate 45 moves to the right and drives the sliding plate 32 to move to the right. The sliding plate 32 moves to the right and drives the transmission rod 33 to move to the right. The transmission rod 33 moves to the right and rotates at the same time, driving the clamping plate 34 to move to the right and rotates at the same time, locking the pre-clamped chicken foot ring. The chicken foot ring is now installed.

[0068] Step 4: Release the rotating handle 52 of the pushing device 5.

5. A method for installing an automated chicken farming leg ring, used in the automated chicken farming leg ring installation device of claim 4, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Pull the irregular frame (63) with the push plate (65). The irregular frame (63) moves to the left on the guide rod (62), causing the second tension spring (66) to be stretched and undergo elastic deformation. When the irregular frame (63) moves to the leftmost side of the irregular tube (61), place the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube (61). The protrusion (67) on the lower side of the irregular tube (61) restricts the position of the chicken foot ring on the irregular tube (61). After the chicken foot ring is placed, release the push plate (65). The elastically deformed second tension spring (66) returns to its original state and pulls the irregular frame (63) and the push plate (65) to the leftmost position of the chicken foot ring, so that the chicken foot ring always tends to move to the right on the irregular tube (61). Step 2: Hold the support frame (51) and rotating handle (52) of the pushing device (5) with one hand, place the chicken foot in a suitable position on the right side of the bottom shell (1), and tighten the rotating handle (52) so that the rotating handle (52) rotates in the direction of the support frame (51). The rotating handle (52) rotates clockwise, causing the driven frame (53) to rotate clockwise. The driven frame (53) rotates clockwise, causing the sliding shell (31) to move to the right. The sliding shell (31) moves to the right, causing the first tension spring (7) to undergo elastic deformation. The sliding shell (31) moves to the right, causing the clamping plate (34) to move to the right. The clamping plate (34) moves to the right, causing the first guide wheel (3) on the right side of the clamping plate (34) to move to the right. 7) Contact the inclined plane (35), causing the two clamping plates (34) to move to the right and rotate at the same time, pushing out one of the chicken foot rings and pre-clamping it. The clamping plate (34) moves to the right and rotates at the same time, causing the transmission rod (33) to move to the right and rotate at the same time. The transmission rod (33) moves to the right and rotates at the same time, causing the sliding plate (32) to move to the right a certain distance. The sliding plate (32) moves to the right, causing the linear guide shaft (44) to slide to the right in the linear bearing (43). The linear guide shaft (44) slides to the right in the linear bearing (43), causing the limiting plate (45) to move to the right. The limiting plate (45) moves to the right, causing the spring (46) to undergo elastic deformation. Step 3: Connect the power supply of the electromagnetic actuator (42). The output end of the electromagnetic actuator (42) extends and drives the sliding frame (41) to move to the right. The spring (46) that has undergone elastic deformation returns to its initial state. The sliding frame (41) moves to the right and drives the limiting plate (45) to move to the right. The limiting plate (45) moves to the right and drives the sliding plate (32) to move to the right. The sliding plate (32) moves to the right and drives the transmission rod (33) to move to the right. The transmission rod (33) moves to the right and rotates at the same time, driving the clamping plate (34) to move to the right and rotates at the same time, locking the pre-clamped chicken foot ring. The chicken foot ring is installed. Step 4: Release the rotating handle (52) of the push device (5), and the first tension spring (7) that has undergone elastic deformation will restore the sliding shell (31) back to the initial position. Release the power supply of the electromagnetic pusher (42), and the output end of the electromagnetic pusher (42) will return to the initial state, waiting for the installation of the next chicken foot ring.
