When the pressing block 95 moves in the external threaded tube 91, the air inside and outside the external threaded tube 91 can circulate through the air hole 98. When the sealing cover 92 is screwed on the external threaded tube 91, the pressure of the spring 97 on the connecting plate 96 causes the pressing block 95 to generate downward pressure on the grease in the external threaded tube 91, and the grease in the grease storage box 9 is discharged through the grease discharge hole 6.

[0025] Embodiment 2:

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 A groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the external threaded cylinder 91, and a slag collecting box 12 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 11 and the upper surface of the upper crank arm 1.

The slag collecting box 12 can be fixed in the groove 11 through the cooperation of the mounting plate 15, the threaded hole 16 and the fixing bolt 17, and the grease entering the three-way pipe 8 is filtered through the screen 14 in the slag collecting box 12, thereby preventing impurities in the grease from entering the connection between the cylinder 5 and the pin shaft through the grease discharge hole 6, which causes accelerated wear of the connection between the cylinder 5 and the pin shaft.

[0027] In the utility model, when the user uses the forklift crank arm, the pin is first inserted into the cylinder 5, and the pin hinges the forklift tire connecting device and the steering cylinder to the forklift crank arm. Then, grease is injected into the external threaded cylinder 91, and the sealing cover 92 is screwed on the external threaded cylinder 91. At this time, the pressure of the spring 97 on the connecting plate 96 causes the pressing block 95 to exert downward pressure on the grease in the external threaded cylinder 91, and the grease in the grease storage box 9 is discharged through the grease discharge hole 6. Then, the discharged grease is used to lubricate the connection between the cylinder 5 and the pin.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
