[0021] The following embodiments can be understood as separately explaining the local structure of the present innovation, or as explaining the structure of a larger scope of the present innovation through the combination of multiple embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] An automatic sprocket feeding device, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, includes a base 2, a blanking plate 3, a cover plate 4, a moving plate 1, a cylinder 10, and a sprocket feeding device. A blanking plate 3 is provided at the top of the base 2, a cover plate 4 is provided above the blanking plate 3, a moving plate 1 is slidably connected between the blanking plate 3 and the cover plate 4. The cylinder barrel of the cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover plate 4, and the end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the upper surface of the moving plate 1 through a connecting seat 11. The sprocket feeding device is provided on the top of the cover plate 4, and a through hole 14 penetrating the cover plate 4 is provided at the bottom end of the sprocket feeding device. Sprockets 13 are stacked in the sprocket feeding device. The moving plate 1 is provided with a guiding hole 12 having a shape and size matching that of the through hole 14. A blanking hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the blanking plate. The through hole 14, the guiding hole 13, and the blanking hole are used in cooperation.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cylinder drives the moving plate to move back and forth to realize continuous feeding of sprockets. During the feeding process, first move the guiding hole to align with the through hole. At this time, the stacked sprockets 13 in the sprocket feeding device fall, and the bottommost sprocket falls into the guiding hole. Then the moving plate moves forward to align with the blanking hole, and the sprocket falls onto the conveyor belt through the blanking hole and is conveyed to the designated position on the production line.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, guiding plates 9 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the opposite surfaces of the blanking plate 3 and the cover plate 4. A sliding channel for the moving plate 1 is formed between the two guiding plates 9. The thickness of the guiding plate 9 is the same as the thickness of the moving plate 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the two guiding plates 9 form a slide rail for the moving plate, restricting the moving track of the moving plate and ensuring accurate alignment with the through hole and the blanking hole.

[0028] Embodiment 3

[0029] AsFigure 1 As shown, there are one or more sprocket feeding devices.

[0030] Example 4

[0031] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the sprocket feeding device includes a guide barrel 5 and a mounting seat 7. The mounting seat 7 is an annular structure. The outer surface of the side wall of the mounting seat 7 is integrally connected with an outer flange 8 around the axis. The outer flange 8 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 4 at the outer edge of the top of the through hole by a first bolt. The bottom end of the guide barrel 5 is clamped with the top of the mounting seat 7. The inner diameter of the guide barrel and the inner diameter of the through hole match the size of the sprocket. The sprockets are superimposed on each other in the guide barrel 5. The bottom sprocket 13 is in contact with the upper end of the blanking plate 3. The thickness of the sprocket 13 is consistent with the thickness of the moving plate 1.

[0032] Example 5

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the guide barrel 5 is open and forms a semicircular plate structure for easy maintenance. The top end of the mounting seat 7 on the side facing the open end extends upward to form a limit plate 6, which is used to block the falling sprocket and prevent the sprocket from separating from the guide barrel 5. As an improvement, the limit plate can be tilted outward at a certain angle along the radial direction of the guide barrel to ensure the protective effect of the sprocket.

[0034] Example 6

[0035] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the cover plate 4, the guide plate 9, the blanking plate 3 and the base 2 are detachably fixedly connected by bolts.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the guide plate 9 and the movable plate 1 are provided with various models according to the thickness of the sprocket 13. Automatic loading of sprockets of different thicknesses can be achieved by disassembly and replacement.
