[0034] A row of hooks 101 are provided below the first hooking unit 100, and the hooks 101 are used to pierce and hook the skin. The first hooking unit 100 is fixedly connected to the second pulling rack 500, and the first hooking unit 100 is provided with a connection port movably connected to the first pulling rack 400. The top of the first hooking unit 100 is slidably connected to the support plate 301.

The support plate 301 is connected to the housing of the electric device 303 through the fixing frame 302. The electric device 304 is controlled by a microprocessor. The rotor of the electric device 304 is connected to the gear 303. The gear 303 is located between the first pulling rack 400 and the second pulling rack 500. The gear 303 contacts the first pulling rack 400 and the second pulling rack 500. The contact surfaces of the first pulling rack 400 and the second pulling rack 500 and the gear 303 are provided with tooth surfaces.
