[0009] The two ends of the cylindrical shell of the utility model are respectively provided with annular support plates arranged along the inner wall, the annular support plates are used to abut against the edge of the flange, screw holes matching the flange are opened on the annular support plates, the flange is used to seal the two ends of the cylindrical shell through the screws, and the external equipment is connected to the cylindrical shell through the flange.

[0010] The support column of the utility model is arranged along the center line of the two flanges, thereby providing effective support for the entire handle, enhancing the strength of the equipment, and also preventing the internal PCB circuit board from being damaged by deformation or twisting during holding.
