[0024] In use, the oil tank 4 is injected with an appropriate amount of lubricating oil through the oil injection pipe 41, and the piston plate 51 seals the upper part of the oil tank 4 at this time. When steering is needed, the driver controls the vehicle control part to drive the control shaft 3 to rotate around its own axis, and the control shaft 3 drives the first driving bevel gear plate 31 to rotate synchronously, and the first driving bevel gear plate 31 drives the first driven bevel gear plate 21 to rotate synchronously, so that the steering column 2 can rotate around its own axis, and the fixed frame 22 and the wheel 23 can rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the steering function. At the same time of steering, the driving assembly 53 and the positioning assembly 52 cooperate to drive the piston plate 51 to reciprocate in the vertical direction in the oil tank 4, and the piston plate 51 exerts a pushing force on the lubricating oil in the oil tank 4 when moving downward, and the lubricating oil flows into the spray pipe 42 and is sprayed through the nozzle 421 to the meshing position of the first driving bevel gear plate 31 and the first driven bevel gear plate 21, so that the meshing position of the first driving bevel gear plate 31 and the first driven bevel gear plate 21 can be efficiently lubricated.

[0026] When steering, the driving assembly 53 controls the horizontal plate 522 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, and the horizontal plate 522 drives the vertical rod 521 to reciprocate synchronously, and the vertical rod 521 drives the piston plate 51 to reciprocate synchronously in the vertical direction.
[0027] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , as a preferred embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 53 comprises a transmission column 531 rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the oil tank 4, a second driven bevel gear plate 532 is fixedly installed at one end of the transmission column 531 towards the horizontal plate 522, a guide column 534 is arranged at a position deviating from the center of the surface of the second driven bevel gear plate 532, the guide column 534 is inserted into the guide groove 523, a second driving bevel gear plate 533 is fixedly installed on the surface of the steering column 2, and the second driving bevel gear plate 533 is connected in meshing with the second driven bevel gear plate 532.

The second active helical gear 533 meshes with the second driven helical gear 532, which can drive the transmission column 531 to rotate around its own axis. When the second driven helical gear 532 rotates, it drives the guide column 534 to rotate synchronously. When the guide column 534 rotates in the guide groove 523, it drives the horizontal plate 522 to move back and forth in the vertical direction.
[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting assembly 72 includes multiple sets of guide rods 721 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the piston plate 51 and located outside the oil guide hole 6. The sealing plate 71 is slidably installed on the surface of the multiple sets of guide rods 721. An end block 722 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the guide rod 721. A compression spring 723 is fixedly installed on the surface of the end block 722. The telescopic end of the compression spring 723 surrounds the outside of the guide rod 721 and is connected to the sealing plate 71. A push rod 724 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the oil reservoir 4. The push rod 724 has an L-shaped structure.
[0030] Multiple sets of guide rods 721 position the sealing plate 71. The sealing plate 71 and the oil guide hole 6 are distributed opposite each other. Initially, the compression spring 723 applies a pushing force to the sealing plate 71, and the sealing plate 71 is in contact with the bottom wall of the piston plate 51. At this time, the oil guide hole 6 is in a closed state.

The horizontal plate 522 drives the vertical rod 521 to move reciprocatingly synchronously, the vertical rod 521 drives the piston plate 51 to move reciprocatingly along the vertical direction synchronously.
[0034] When the piston plate 51 moves downward, it exerts a pushing force on the lubricating oil in the inner cavity of the oil storage tank 4, the lubricating oil flows into the spray pipe 42 and is sprayed through the nozzle 421 to the meshing position of the first driving helical gear plate 31 and the first driven helical gear plate 21, the lubricating oil can efficiently lubricate the meshing position of the first driving helical gear plate 31 and the first driven helical gear plate 21. When the piston plate 51 moves downward, the sealing plate 71 is attached to the bottom wall of the piston plate 51, at this time the oil guide hole 6 is in a sealed state. When the piston plate 51 moves upward in the inner cavity of the oil storage tank 4 to the highest position, at this time the push rod 724 exerts a downward pushing force on the sealing plate 71 through the oil guide hole 6, at this time the sealing plate 71 moves away from the piston plate 51, at this time the oil guide hole 6 is in a through state. After the sprayed lubricating oil falls on the surface of the piston plate 51, the excess lubricating oil can flow back to the lower part of the piston plate 51 through the oil guide hole 6, thereby facilitating the reuse of the lubricating oil.
