[0022] Preferably, the surface of the annularly distributed gear teeth 2 has lubrication holes 3 at intervals, the shape and size of which are consistent with the lubrication cotton strip 4.

[0023] In practical use, the lubrication holes 3 on the surface of the gear teeth 2 facilitate the insertion of lubricating cotton strips 4, thereby lubricating the intersection of the meshing chain and the gear teeth 2.

[0024] Preferably, seven lubricating cotton strips 4 are distributed in a ring on the surface of the sponge ring 5, and their shape and size correspond to the lubrication hole 3 and the placement groove 6.

[0025] In practical use, the placement groove 6 on one side of the wheel body 1 and the lubrication holes 3 on the annularly distributed teeth 2 on its surface facilitate the placement of lubricating cotton strips 4 and sponge rings 5 ​​soaked in lubricating medium, so that when the teeth 2 mesh and rotate with the chain, the lubricating medium slowly seeps out to lubricate the intersection of the two.

[0026] Preferably, the wheel body 1, the limiting rod 7 and the connecting plate 8 form a snap-fit ​​connection structure, with the two limiting rods 7 located opposite each other on both sides of the placement groove 6.

[0027] In practical use, the two through slots on the side wall of the connecting plate 8 are used to engage and fix it to the two limit rods 7 connected to one side of the wheel body 1.

[0028] Preferably, the connecting plate 8 has a ring-shaped structure on one side and its sidewall has two circular through slots on both sides, the shape and size of which are consistent with the limiting rod 7.

[0029] In practical use, when placing the sponge ring 5 and the lubricating cotton strip 4, the connecting disc 8 connected to the other side of the sponge ring 5 and the sealing ring 9 connected to its surface are fitted onto the sponge ring 5.

[0030] Preferably, the sealing ring 9 is made of rubber and is an integral structure consisting of two rings of the same size and shape as the inner and outer rings of the sponge ring 5.

[0031] In practical use, the connecting disc 8 connected to the other side of the sponge ring 5 and the sealing ring 9 connected to its surface fit together and are sleeved on the sponge ring 5 to block the sponge ring 5 from the outside world and prevent the sponge ring 5 from being corroded by external dust.

[0032] Working principle: The placement groove 6 on one side of the wheel body 1 and the lubrication holes 3 on the annularly distributed teeth 2 on its surface facilitate the placement of lubricating cotton strips 4 and sponge rings 5 ​​soaked in lubricating medium. When the teeth 2 mesh and rotate with the chain, the lubricating medium slowly seeps out to lubricate the intersection of the two. At the same time, when placing the sponge rings 5 ​​and lubricating cotton strips 4, the connecting plate 8 connected to the other side of the sponge ring 5 and the sealing ring 9 connected to its surface are fitted onto the sponge ring 5. The two through grooves on the side wall of the connecting plate 8 are engaged and fixed to the two limiting rods 7 connected to one side of the wheel body 1, thereby fixing the position of the sponge ring 5 on the placement groove 6. When the teeth 2 rotate, the lubricating cotton strips 4 embedded on its surface abut against the chain to lubricate the intersection of the two. At the same time, the connected sponge rings 5 ​​supply lubricating medium to the lubricating cotton strips 4. During use, the connecting plate 8, which is engaged and fixed on the wheel body 1, can be disassembled periodically to facilitate the removal and replacement of the sponge rings 5 ​​embedded in the placement groove 6.
