A buffer is provided between the inner tube cover 30 and the outer tube 2 to prevent a large impact on the inner tube 3 when closing. The linkage mechanism includes a first connecting end 22 and a second connecting end 31 that are plugged in and matched with each other. The first connecting end 22 protrudes and extends from the center of the outer tube cover 20 to one side of the inner tube cover 30, and the second connecting end 31 protrudes and extends from the center of the inner tube cover 30 to one side of the outer tube cover 20. The first connecting end 22 and the second connecting end 31 can be relatively rotatably connected. A rolling device 23 is installed between the first connection end 22 and the second connection end 31. The rolling device 23 is coaxially arranged with the delivery port 32. Preferably, the rolling device 23 is a bearing, the inner ring of the bearing is sleeved on the first connection end 22, and the second connection end 31 is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing; or, the inner ring of the bearing is sleeved on the second connection end 31, and the first connection end 22 is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing. The first connection end 22 is a cylinder, and the second connection end 31 is an open groove, the opening faces the outer cylinder cover 20, and the cylinder is inserted into the groove from the opening. A shoulder is provided at one end of the cylinder close to the door body, and the rolling device 23 is sleeved on the cylinder. The shoulder limits the rolling device 23, and the extension length of the groove is less than the extension length of the cylinder; or, the first connection end 22 is an open groove, the opening faces the inner cylinder cover 30, and the second connection end 31 is a cylinder, and the cylinder is inserted into the groove from the opening.The inner cylinder cover 30 includes a front plate and a rear plate connected in parallel. The rear plate can produce forward and backward displacement relative to the front plate. The diameter of the front plate is larger than that of the rear plate. The front plate corresponds to the opening of the closed outer cylinder 2. The rear plate is arranged between the front plate and the outer cylinder cover 20. A first connecting end 22 is arranged on the side of the front plate facing the outer cylinder cover 20. The inner cylinder cover 30 is provided with a second connecting end 31 that cooperates with the first connecting end 22. A rolling device 23 is installed between the first connecting end 22 and the second connecting end 31 so that the outer cylinder cover 20 drives the inner cylinder cover 30 to rotate. There is a certain gap between the front plate and the rear plate. A spring 21 extending along the axial direction of the delivery port 32 is installed between the front plate and the rear plate. The two ends of the spring 21 are respectively connected to the front plate and the rear plate. The outer periphery of the front plate and the rear plate passes through a telescopic tube 24 that can produce telescopic deformation. The two ends of the telescopic tube 24 are respectively sealed and connected to the outer periphery of the front plate and the rear plate.
