[0031] In summary, the inner ring 1 of the sprocket-type slewing bearing adopts an annular support structure, which can be connected to the main unit for fixation. Both the inner ring 1 and the outer ring 5 of the sprocket-type slewing bearing are equipped with semi-circular grooves on their inner sides for limiting the installation of the balls 3 and the spacers 4. First, the balls 3 and spacers 4 are evenly placed in the semi-circular grooves opened on the inner side of the outer end of the inner ring 1 of the sprocket-type slewing bearing. Then, the outer ring 5 of the sprocket-type slewing bearing is stacked and installed sequentially on the sprocket-type slewing bearing. The outer side of the inner ring body 1 is supported, and the semi-circular groove opened on the inner side of the inner end of the outer ring body 5 of the sprocket-type slewing bearing engages with the ball 3 and the spacer block 4, which serves to fix the ball 3 and the spacer block 4 and prevent the ball 3 and the spacer block 4 from falling off.
