[0003] The cage structure consists of a cage bracket, a metal bowl, and a plastic base. The plastic base snaps into the cage bracket cavity, and the metal bowl is installed between the plastic base and the cage bracket. The ball head on the booster push rod is installed in the assembly space formed by the plastic base and the metal bowl. To prevent excessive friction at the contact point between the metal bowl and the ball head, which can cause wear and abnormal noise, grease is generally applied to the friction pair.
[0004] Currently, CVJ cages on production lines are primarily lubricated manually, with workers applying lubricating oil to the inner surface of the metal bowl using a brush. Due to inconsistent force and brush wear, the amount of oil applied to the CVJ cage is difficult to quantify, making quality control difficult. Furthermore, deformation of the brush head can cause the brush to become caught on the plastic base's claws when removed, reducing assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention
