The sliding shell is disposed on the base, and the sliding seat cooperates with the sliding shell. A fixing assembly includes a main moving block, a side moving block, and an unlocking block. The main moving block, the side moving block, and the unlocking block are disposed inside the sliding shell. The main moving block cooperates with the side moving block, and the unlocking block is connected to the side moving block. Two side moving blocks are provided. This device, through the cooperation of the sliding assembly and the fixing assembly, enables machining of the rotating shaft without disassembly. Only simple operation of the device is required to continue machining the other side, reducing the time spent changing the fixed rotating shaft and improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, in existing drive shaft turning devices, the lateral movement of the drive components is generally achieved through lead screw assemblies. However, lead screw assemblies experience wear during repeated rotation, leading to not only impaired rotation but also reduced service life. Furthermore, the lead screw assembly can loosen due to machine vibration, resulting in unstable workpiece clamping. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The movable seat 3 is equipped with a self-lubricating mechanism 4. The self-lubricating mechanism 4 provides automatic lubrication for the movable seat 3 and the lead screw 2. The self-lubricating mechanism 4 includes a pad 41 and a sponge block 42 that are slidably connected inside the movable seat 3 and are in contact with each other. A sliding pin 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pad 41. The sliding pin 43 passes through the movable seat 3 and is slidably connected to the movable seat 3. A second spring 44 is sleeved on the outside of the pin body of the sliding pin 43. One end of the second spring 44 is fixedly connected to the pad 41 and the other end of the second spring 44 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the movable seat 3.

In addition, when the moving seat 3 moves axially with the lead screw 2, the sliding pin 43 in the self-lubricating mechanism 4 will be retracted by the reaction force of the protrusion 47 and squeezed by the pad 41 to release the lubricating oil. This can lubricate the threaded connection between the lead screw 2 and the moving seat 3, preventing jamming and achieving automatic lubrication.
