• a driving nub located above the base;
• a knitting portion located at a front end of the base;
• an oil sprinkling zone located on the base and facing the oil ejection nozzle;
• and
• a lubrication oil channeling and separating structure which is interposed between the knitting portion and the oil sprinkling zone and includes a separating slot formed upward from a lower side, the separating slot defining a flow channeling portion and a no-oil portion, the flow channeling portion located on one side of the separating slot adjacent to the oil sprinkling zone, and the no-oil portion located on one side of the flow channeling portion adjacent to the knitting portion.
