The handle 21 provides a convenient gripping position, making it easy to operate when the cover 20 needs to be opened or closed. The inner ring 22 is tightly installed at the bottom of the cover 20 and forms a whole with the cover 20. The inner ring 22 functions to tightly cooperate with the inner wall of the tank body 202 when the cover 20 is closed, further enhancing the sealing performance of the cover 20. The knob 15 is firmly installed at the top of the threaded rod 11, and the position of the threaded rod 11 can be easily adjusted by rotating the knob 15, thereby achieving the adjustment of the entire device.
[0039] Working principle: rotate the anti-skid groove 16 to make the threaded sleeve 8 slide upward. Since the slide rod two 9 is fixed with the threaded sleeve 8, the slide rod one 6 is rotationally connected with the connecting block 10, and the slide block 7 is slidingly connected with the slide rod one 6 and the slide rod two 9. When the threaded sleeve 8 moves upward, the bottoms of the two slide rod ones 6 expand outward, thereby pushing the first nut 3 along the axial direction, so that the first nut 3 and the second nut 4 generate a pre-tightening force on the lead screw 1, thereby eliminating the axial gap, significantly improving the transmission accuracy of the lead screw, greatly reducing the return error, and enabling the mechanical system to maintain high motion accuracy and repeatability during frequent forward and reverse rotation.
