[0029] Refer to the instruction manual Figures 1-5 The utility model provides a cross-shaped protection mechanism, including a protection component 2 installed on a cross-shaped main body 1, and four shaft necks 101 are provided on the cross-shaped main body 1. The protection component 2 includes a plurality of mounting rings 201 fixed on the cross-shaped main body 1, and the plurality of mounting rings 201 correspond one to one to the four shaft necks 101. A protection sleeve 202 is detachably connected to the interior of each mounting ring 201, and a circular plate 1 203 is fixedly provided inside the protection sleeve 202. A circular plate 204 is provided on the top of the circular plate 1 203. Lubricating oil is stored between the circular plate 204 and the protective sleeve 202. A plurality of circular holes 205 are opened on the top of the circular plate 1 203 and the circular plate 204. An adjusting component 3 is fixedly provided at the center of the top of the circular plate 204. A sponge block 4 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the circular plate 1 203. The bottom of the sponge block 4 is in contact with the top of the shaft neck 101. The use of the sponge block 4 can make the lubricating oil slowly flow to the shaft neck 101 on the cross-shaped main body 1.
[0030] The adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment rod 301 fixed at the top center of the second circular plate 204, which is convenient for the staff to adjust the position of the second circular plate 204 and thus control the oil output of the lubricating oil.
