[0042] Further, the heating sheet 580 is made of conductive material, and the heating sheet 580 is made of material with good thermal conductivity.
[0043] Further, the controller 530 is internally provided with a temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the protective half-shell 510, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller 530 and controls the working state of the heating sheet 580.
[0044] Further, a fixing hole 511 is arranged at the diagonal position of each protective half-shell 510, and the other two diagonal positions of the protective half-shell 510 are provided with a fixing rod 512 matched with the fixing hole 511, and an oil inlet 520 is arranged on each protective half-shell 510.

[0046] Working principle: through the fixed setting of the journal 200 on the four sides of the cross shaft body 100, the outer side of the journal 200 is sleeved with the shaft sleeve 300, the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 300 is provided with the needle roller 310, the needle roller 310 can rotate in the journal 200 and the inside of the shaft sleeve 300, two protective half shells 510 are arranged on the outer side of the cross shaft body 100, the two diagonal positions of the protective half shell 510 are respectively provided with a fixed hole 511, and the other two diagonal positions are fixedly provided with a fixed rod 512. Through the cooperation between the fixed rod 512 and the fixed hole 511, the two protective half shells 510 can be fixedly arranged on the outer side of the cross shaft body 100, so that the cross shaft body 100 and the second oil seal 420 at the root of the cross shaft body 100 can be protected. At the same time, an oil inlet 520 is formed in the center of the two protective half shells 510, and the worker can inject lubricating oil into the inside of the two protective half shells 510 through the oil inlet 520, so that the cross shaft body 100 can be in the state of being wrapped by the lubricating oil, thereby protecting the cross shaft body 100 from corrosion and oxidation, and prolonging the service life of the whole device.
