[0003] In the prior art, the oil seal in the traditional sealing mechanism is in a rotating state under normal working conditions. The close fit between the oil seal lip and the shaft surface makes it difficult for moisture to penetrate from the outside. The labyrinth structure principle used by the oil seal is that when the oil tries to leak from the inside to the outside, the oil will enter the labyrinth channel. Due to the tortuosity of the labyrinth channel, the oil changes direction continuously in the channel, generating vortex and resistance. In this process, the kinetic energy of the oil is gradually consumed, increasing the resistance of the oil leakage.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the sealing mechanism drives the iron rotating labyrinth to rotate when rotating, and the rotating speed is fast and the rotating force is large. The installation position of the rotating labyrinth on the chuck is small and can only install M5 screw force, which is seriously insufficient.
