The guide rail 6 passes through the upper plate 5, and the upper plate 5 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6. A pressure head seat 12 is installed at the top center of the upper plate 5. The pressure head 14 at the bottom of the pressure head seat 12 passes through the upper plate 5. A tightening sleeve 13 is provided on the outer side of the lower part of the pressure head 14. The contact surface between the pressure head 14 and the tightening sleeve 13 is a conical surface 131. A plurality of avoidance grooves 141 are provided on the outer surface of the pressure head 14. One end of the avoidance groove 141 is connected to the notch 142 at the bottom of the pressure head 14, and the notch 142 matches the inner rib 1017 of the end cover. The other end of the avoidance groove 141 extends to above the conical surface 131. A shell seat 19 is installed in the top center of the base plate 9. A boss 191 is provided in the center of the shell seat 19 to match the inner circle of the bottom plane of the servo shell 1012. A clamping clamp 15 is installed on both sides of the shell seat 19.
[0030] See also Figure 6The pressure head 14 and the two conical surfaces of the tightening sleeve 13 are tightly matched, and the avoidance groove 141 can shrink the diameter of the pressure head 14 to a certain extent. Figure 7 When the tightening sleeve 13 moves upward, the outer diameter of the pressure head 14 is larger, and the end cover 1014 can be easily placed at the bottom of the pressure head 14, and the inner rib 1017 of the end cover is located at the notch 142; Figure 8 When the tightening sleeve 13 moves downward, the outer diameter of the pressing head 14 is reduced, and the pressing head 14 automatically clamps the inner rib 1017 of the end cover to prevent the end cover 1014 from falling during press-fitting.
[0031] The tightening sleeve 13 and the pressure head 14 are specially designed to match the taper of the conical surface 131 and the weight of the tightening sleeve 13. The taper of the conical surface 131 is 4°, and the weight of the tightening sleeve 13 is 390g. The tightening sleeve 13 can use its own weight to enable the pressure head 14 to clamp the inner rib 1017 of the end cover.
[0032] The pressure head seat 12 and the upper plate 5 are connected by a pressure head seat bolt 10, and the pressure head 14 and the pressure head seat 12 are connected by a pressure head bolt 11.
