[0050] The tube wall of the positioning sleeve 300 is provided with a receiving groove 310, and the receiving groove 310 penetrates the tube wall of the positioning sleeve 300 in the radial direction;

[0051] The locking assembly 400 is disposed in the receiving groove 310 , and the locking assembly 400 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 100 and the outer wall of the adjustment assembly 500 ;

[0052] The adjustment assembly 500 is disposed inside the movable sleeve 200 and the positioning sleeve 300 and can move along the axial direction of the movable sleeve 200 and the positioning sleeve 300;

[0053] When the adjusting component 500 is stationary relative to the movable sleeve 200, the adjusting component 500 squeezes the locking component 400, so that the locking component 400 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 100; at this time, since the positions of the locking component 400 and the fixed sleeve 100 are relatively fixed, the positions between the movable sleeve 200 and the fixed sleeve 100 are also relatively fixed, that is, the locking function of the movable sleeve 200 and the fixed sleeve 100 is achieved;

[0054] When the adjusting assembly 500 moves upward relative to the movable sleeve 200, the adjusting assembly 500 is separated from the locking assembly 400. Since the adjusting assembly 500 no longer applies pressure to the locking assembly 400, the locking assembly 400 and the fixed sleeve 100 can move relatively, and the positions of the movable sleeve 200 and the fixed sleeve 100 can also move relatively, that is, the unlocking function of the movable sleeve 200 and the fixed sleeve 100 is achieved.

[0055] Compared with the height adjustment method in the prior art, the height adjustment device provided in this embodiment can realize the adjustment component 500 by single-handed operation, so as to easily and flexibly adjust the position between the fixed sleeve 100 and the movable sleeve 200, thereby greatly reducing the workload of medical staff and saving their time.

The movable sleeve 200 is provided with a guide groove for accommodating the positioning pin 540; the guide groove is used to guide the positioning pin 540 to move along the axial direction of the interactive sleeve;

[0058] The positioning column 530 is located in the positioning sleeve 300, and the positioning column 530 is connected to the bottom of the pulling rod 520. Preferably, the positioning column 530 is sleeved on the pulling rod 520. It should be noted that in this embodiment, other methods can be used to connect the positioning column 530 to the pulling rod 520. For example, a connecting buckle can be provided on the positioning column to directly connect with the pulling rod 520.

[0059] The positioning column 530 is used to apply pressure to the locking assembly 400 so that the locking assembly 400 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 100 .

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned positioning column 530 is in an inverted cone shape, and its upper end diameter is larger than the lower end diameter. When the pulling rod 520 and the positioning column 530 move downward, the conical surface of the positioning column 530 applies a radial force to the locking assembly 400, thereby causing the locking assembly 400 to squeeze the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 100, thereby achieving the function of fixing the position between the two.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the positioning sleeve 300 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 320 and a second accommodating cavity 330 which are interconnected. The two accommodating cavities are arranged so that their axes coincide. The first accommodating cavity 320 is located above the second accommodating cavity 330.
