Figure 2 As shown, the tip of the rotating shaft 10 is located inside the circular box 2, and the gear 9 is fitted onto the tip of the rotating shaft 10. A slot is provided on the end face of the head end of the rotating shaft 10. In this embodiment, the slot is a hexagonal slot. In use, one end of a hexagonal wrench is engaged in the slot, and the wrench is pushed to make the wrench drive the rotating shaft 10 to rotate.
