For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the overall diagram of the present application is shown, using a single screw to replace the common twin screws in the prior art. Such a setting can shorten the length of the shaft and improve the running stability.

[0022] like Figure 2-9As shown, the star wheel of the present application includes a star wheel piece 1, a star wheel shaft 2 and a bearing 3, the star wheel piece 1 is fixedly arranged on the circumferential outer side of the bearing 3, the bearing 3 is sleeved on the star wheel shaft 2, the star wheel shaft 2 is fixedly arranged and has a hole inside, the inside of the hole is filled with lubricating liquid, the liquid outlet of the star wheel shaft 2 is divided into a radial liquid outlet 202 and an axial liquid outlet 203, the bearing includes a bearing radial bushing 301 and a bearing axial bushing 302, the radial liquid outlet 202 corresponds to the position of the bearing radial bushing 301, and the axial liquid outlet 203 corresponds to the position of the bearing axial bushing 302. With such an arrangement, the lubricating liquid can be discharged from the radial liquid outlet 202 to the bearing radial bushing 301 of the bearing, and discharged from the axial liquid outlet 203 to the bearing axial bushing 302 of the bearing. The bearing drainage hole 303 of the bearing 3 is in communication with the internal groove 103 of the star wheel piece 1, and the liquid outlets of the internal groove 103 of the star wheel piece 1 are located on both sides of the teeth of the star wheel piece 1. The lubricating liquid discharged from the bearing drainage hole 303 enters the internal groove 103 of the star wheel piece 1, and then is sprayed into the meshing area through the star wheel piece outlets 104 on both sides of the star wheel teeth of the star wheel piece 1 for precise lubrication.

[0023] Furthermore, the bearing is a rolling bearing or a sliding bearing.

During processing, the star wheel piece needs to be divided into a star wheel piece upper layer 101 and a star wheel piece lower layer 102, and the grooves need to be processed separately. After the grooves are processed, the upper and lower pieces are combined into one by vacuum diffusion welding, and then the side of the star wheel is processed.
