[0022] Figures 1 - 4 A feeding device for a camshaft bowl-shaped plug includes a rectangular plate 1. A hole groove 14 is provided on the rectangular plate 1. The hole groove 14 is a circular structure. At both ends of one side of the rectangular plate 1, support plates 3 for support are fixedly connected. On the mutually approaching surfaces of the two support plates 3, a clamping assembly is connected. The clamping assembly includes a fixed block 4 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 3. On the side of the fixed block 4 away from the support plate 3, there is a clamping frame 5 having the same rectangular structure as it. A clamping groove 17 is provided on the side of the clamping frame 5 away from the support plate 3. The clamping groove 17 is a semi-circular arc structure. Air pumps 6 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two clamping frames 5. Air outlet grooves 13 communicating with the air pumps 6 are penetrated and provided in the two clamping grooves 17. The gas produced by the air pumps 6 is ejected through the air outlet grooves 13, and the debris generated during crimping can be blown away. A sliding groove 12 is provided at one end of the clamping frame 5 close to the fixed block 4. The fixed block 4 is inserted into the sliding groove 12. A plurality of springs 11 are fixedly connected to one end of the fixed block 4 located in the sliding groove 12. One end of each spring 11 away from the fixed block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the sliding groove 12. When stressed, the clamping frame 5 will be subjected to the elastic force of the springs 11, and thus move in a fixed direction under the limitation of the fixed block 4.

[0023] On the same side of the two clamping components, there is a loading frame 2 fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 1. The upper end of the loading frame 2 is provided with a loading groove 7. The loading frame 2 is loaded through the loading groove 7. The loading groove 7 is a T-shaped notch. The T-shaped structure can facilitate observing whether there is a bowl-shaped plug stuck in the loading groove 7. On one side of the loading frame 2 close to the support plate 3, there is a fixed groove 16 communicating with the loading groove 7. Hinge flap doors 15 are connected to the side walls at both ends in the fixed groove 16. The hinge flap doors 15 will open when stressed and reset and close again after the stress is removed. A plurality of bowl-shaped plugs 10 are loaded in the loading groove 7. On the side of the rectangular plate 1 away from the support plate 3, there is a pressing component for pressing the bowl-shaped plugs 10 onto the camshaft. The pressing component includes a support frame 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular plate 1. A hydraulic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the support frame 8. The support frame 8 provides support for the hydraulic rod 9. The size of the hole groove 14 matches the size of the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 9, ensuring that the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 9 can pass through smoothly and perform the pressing action.

[0024] When the present utility model is in use, the worker first loads the bowl-shaped plugs 10 into the loading frame 2 through the loading groove 7. Subsequently, the camshaft is placed in the clamping grooves 17 on the two clamping frames 5. The two clamping frames 5 will be squeezed and move away from each other, and then will move closer to each other under the elastic force of the two springs 11, so as to be able to clamp camshafts with different diameters. After the clamping is completed, by starting the hydraulic rod 9, the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 9 extends to push out the bowl-shaped plug 10 from the hinge flap door 15 and press it onto the camshaft. Then, the hydraulic rod 9 retracts, the hinge flap door 15 resets, and at the same time, the original position of the bowl-shaped plug 10 is vacant. The bowl-shaped plug 10 above will fall from above the loading groove 7 due to its own weight to replenish and prepare for the next pressing.
