[0036] In this embodiment, the annular base 221 comprises a first area in contact with the connecting blocks 222, and a second area for placing the PTFE annular body 11. The radial width of the second area is 5mm less than the radial width of the PTFE annular body 11, so that the PTFE annular body 11 is outwardly pressed against the connecting blocks 222 and inwardly exceeds the second area. That is, the inner diameter of the PTFE annular body 11 is 5mm less than the inner diameter of the annular base 221.
[0037] In this embodiment, the radial width of the annular upper shell 21 is 5mm less than the radial width of the PTFE annular body 11, so that the PTFE annular body 11 inwardly exceeds the area where the annular upper shell 21 is located. That is, the inner diameter of the PTFE annular body 11 is less than the inner diameter of the annular upper shell 21.
[0038] In this embodiment, the radial width of the grooves 223 is 5mm less than the radial width of the PTFE protrusions 12, so that the PTFE annular body 11 is outwardly pressed against the connecting blocks 222 and inwardly exceeds the annular upper shell 21.
[0039] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the connecting block 222 is provided with a ring-shaped clamping groove 2221, and the outer wall of the annular upper shell 21 is provided with a ring-shaped flange 211 which is adapted to the ring-shaped clamping groove 2221 and clamped therewith. The depth of the ring-shaped clamping groove 2221 is 1mm, and the radial width of the ring-shaped flange 211 is consistent with the depth of the ring-shaped clamping groove 2221.
[0040] In this embodiment, the height of the connecting block 222 is consistent with the height of the annular upper shell 21, the ring-shaped clamping groove 2221 is located at the middle height position of the connecting block 222, and the ring-shaped flange 221 is located at the middle height position of the annular upper shell 21, so that the clamping of the annular upper shell 21 and the annular lower shell 22 is more firm and will not shake.
[0041] In this embodiment, the position of the PTFE protrusions 12 on the PTFE annular body 11 corresponds to the position of the grooves 223 on the annular base 221.
[0042] In the embodiment, the surface of the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 is sprayed with conductive material to make the surface conductive, and the conductive material can be carbon black, graphite, metal powder or conductive polymer.

The annular upper shell 21 is pressed from top to bottom on the PTFE conductive grounding element 1, and during the pressing process, the connecting block 222 is slightly inclined outwardly to generate deformation, so that the annular flange 211 passes through and enters the annular clamping groove 221, and the annular upper shell 21 and the annular lower shell 22 are connected through the annular flange 211 and the annular clamping groove 221, so that the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 is completely fixed between the annular upper shell 21 and the annular lower shell 22. Since the surface of the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 is sprayed with conductive material, it has conductivity itself, and the inner wall of the PTFE annular body 11 of the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 contacts the bearing to conduct electricity, and the outer wall of the PTFE protrusion 12 of the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 contacts the bearing to conduct electricity. If the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 is worn out after a long time, the annular upper shell 11 is removed from the groove 223, so that the annular upper shell 21 and the annular lower shell 22 are easily separated, and then the PTFE conductive grounding element 1 can be quickly removed and replaced.
