Due to the setting of the torsion spring 206, the installation shaft 201 can continue to rotate, and then the driving motor 205 continues to drive the installation shaft 201 to rotate. When the installation shaft 201 rotates, it continues to drive the linkage plate 202 to rotate. At this time, the installation cylinder 207 is stationary, and the installation shaft 201 rotates. When the linkage plate 202 rotates, the connecting plate 405 is driven to rise and fall through the connecting arm 203, and then the telescopic frame 4 is driven to telescope synchronously inside the support frame 3; In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting plate 405 is provided on the top of the telescopic frame 4, and a guide groove 301 corresponding to the connecting plate 405 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 3 so as not to interfere with the movement of the telescopic frame 4.

When the telescopic frame 4 is extended downward, as the distance between the rope wheel 704 and the connecting rod 8 increases, the traction rope 705 is gradually released from the rope wheel 704, thereby rotating the rope wheel 704. When the rope wheel 704 rotates, it drives the bidirectional screw rod 702 to rotate. The wire grooves at both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 702 are in opposite directions, so that the moving seat 703 on the surface of the bidirectional screw rod 702 moves synchronously towards each other, and the support 710 is driven to move downward through the connecting arm 2 708, so that the part with the temperature and humidity sensor 712 at the bottom of the insertion rod 711 below the support 710 is exposed to the bottom of the bracket 401; In this embodiment, preferably, a hinged seat 707 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the movable seat 703, and the hinged seat 707 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting arm 708.
