During the normal operation of the worm gear 5 and the worm reducer, the spring 2 provides pressure by deforming itself, making the dial 4 and the worm gear 5 tightly connected, ensuring that they will not be separated during normal operation. When manual separation of the driving and driven parts is needed, the dial 4 is pressed and the spring 2 is compressed by rotating the left-handed screw 7. After the spring 2 is compressed to a certain extent, the dial 4 is displaced beyond the thickness of the positioning pin on the surface of the worm gear 5, achieving the unlocking of the dial 4 and the worm gear 5.
