[0021] In the embodiment, the piston plate 104, the piston rod 103 and the sliding plate 102 are integrated, and a first spring 105 is connected between the sliding plate 102 and the bottom of the connecting groove, and the first spring 105 is sleeved on the piston rod 103. A damping rod 106 is symmetrically connected between the sliding plate 102 and the bottom of the connecting groove. A locking rod 108 is locked and connected to the shaft body 1, and the locking rod 108 is connected to the sponge groove. Among them, the first spring 105 and the damping rod 106 are existing technologies, which ensure the stability of the input shaft to a certain extent. The locking rod 108 is easy to open and close, and the lubricating oil enters the sponge groove through the through hole of the locking rod 108, and the lubricating oil is locked by the lubricating sponge block 107. When the lubricating sponge block 107 is squeezed, the lubricating oil is squeezed out through the lubrication hole 301 and flows out on the pinion body 3.

[0022] In the embodiment, the installation and connection structure includes a plurality of installation holes 101 symmetrically opened on the groove wall of the connecting groove, a plurality of installation grooves 201 are opened circumferentially at one end of the connecting shaft 2, a mounting block 203 is slidably inserted in the mounting groove 201, a second spring 205 is connected between the mounting block 203 and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 201, limiting blocks 204 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the mounting block 203, limiting grooves 202 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the mounting groove 201, and the limiting blocks 204 are slidably adapted to the limiting grooves 202, wherein the second spring 205 is the prior art, and during the installation and connection process, the mounting block 203 is pressed into the mounting groove 201 to ensure that the connecting shaft 2 is inserted into the connecting groove, and the mounting block 203 passes through the mounting hole 101, at this time, one end of the connecting shaft 2 squeezes the sliding plate 102, and the first spring 105 is in an extruded state, which ensures that the mounting block 203 is tightly squeezed in the mounting hole 101, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting shaft 2 and the shaft body 1.

[0023] In the embodiment, the mounting block 203 passes through the mounting groove 201 and is slidably fitted with the mounting groove 201, the shaft end of the connecting shaft 2 is squeezed and contacted with the sliding plate 102, and the connecting groove is slidably fitted with the connecting shaft 2.

At this time, the sliding plate 102 is in a state of squeezing the connecting shaft 2, ensuring that the connecting shaft 2 is installed more stably. When using the input shaft, the connecting shaft 2 is driven to perform steering operations, so that the connecting shaft 2, the shaft body 1 and the pinion body 3 rotate as a whole. During operation, when the pinion body 3 needs to be lubricated, the connecting shaft 2 squeezes the sliding plate 102, so that the sliding plate 102, the piston rod 103 and the piston plate 104 squeeze the lubricating sponge block 107 as a whole, so that the lubricating oil in the lubricating sponge block 107 is squeezed and flows out to the surface of the pinion body 3 through the lubrication hole 301, ensuring that the pinion body 3 is lubricated in time.

[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the attached embodiments and their equivalents.
