The light string has a good storage effect and is not easy to get loose. When used again, the light string is pulled or the driving device drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the light string can be spread out in a straight line, not easy to get tangled, and convenient for reuse. The front baffle plate 22 set at the front end of the rotating shaft 21 and the rear baffle plate 23 set at the rear end of the rotating shaft 21 can prevent the light string from getting stuck in the rotation gap of the rotating shaft 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, two wire inlet and outlet ports 11 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1 , and the light strings can enter and exit from the wire inlet and outlet ports 11 on both sides of the housing 1 .

[0046] Preferably, the rotating shaft 21, the front baffle plate 22 and the rear baffle plate 23 are an integrated structure.

[0047] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in , 5, the rotational connection method of the rotating shaft 21 and the shell 1 is: a fixed shaft 12 is provided in the shell 1, and the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 12; the axial limiting method of the fixed shaft 12 is: a limiting member 4 for axially limiting the rotating shaft 21 is clamped at the front end of the fixed shaft 12.

[0048] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the fixing shaft 12 and the stopper 4 are connected in a manner as follows: the front end of the fixing shaft 12 is provided with a fixing slot 121, the rear end of the stopper 4 is provided with a fixing hook 42 adapted to the fixing slot 121, and the stopper 4 is connected to the fixing shaft 12 via the fixing hook 42 and the fixing slot 121. In this embodiment, the fixing hook 42 and the fixing slot 121 are provided in three numbers respectively.

Moving the handle 6 causes one end of the handle 5 to rotate, driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate.

[0050] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 4, 6 and 8, the installation method of the handle 6 is as follows: a mounting hole 51 is provided on one end of the handle 5 connected to the handle 6, and one or more arc-shaped baffles 52 are provided on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 51, and the arc-shaped baffles 52 are surrounded by an annular structure and a circular through hole 53 is formed in the middle, and the arc-shaped baffles 52 include an arc-shaped fixed baffle 521 fixed on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 51 and an arc-shaped elastic baffle 522 connected to one end of the arc-shaped fixed baffle 521, and a circular pin 61 adapted to the circular through hole 53 is provided at the rear end of the handle 6, and a tongue 62 is provided on the circular pin 61, and the tongue 62 squeezes the arc-shaped elastic baffle 522 into the rear side of the arc-shaped fixed baffle 521. After the circular pin 61 enters the circular through hole 53, the plug tongue 62 squeezes the arc-shaped elastic baffle 522, and the arc-shaped elastic baffle 522 elastically deforms backwards. The plug tongue 62 is rotated, and the plug tongue 62 enters the rear side of the arc-shaped fixed baffle 521. The arc-shaped elastic baffle 522 returns to its original state. The arc-shaped fixed baffle 521 and the arc-shaped elastic baffle 522 axially limit the plug tongue 62 to prevent the handle 6 from slipping forward. In this embodiment, two arc-shaped baffles 52 are provided.

After the clamping head 55 of the handle 5 is rotated and clamped with the clamping groove 212, the circular pin 61 of the handle 6 enters the limiting groove 221 through the circular through hole 53, preventing the handle 5 from rotating and causing the clamping head 55 to escape from the clamping groove 212. In this embodiment, there are three clamping heads 55 and three clamping grooves 212.

[0054] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the axial limiting mode of the limiting member 4 on the rotating shaft 21 is as follows: an annular baffle 41 protrudes from the front end of the limiting member 4, and the rear end surface of the annular baffle 41 conflicts with the front end surface of the annular retaining ring 211.

[0055] In order to facilitate the manufacture of the housing 1, the housing 1 includes a front housing 14 and a rear housing 15 that are buckled together, the front housing 14 is provided with the opening 13, the rear housing 15 is provided with the fixing shaft 12, the front housing 14 is provided with a notch 141, the rear housing 15 is provided with a notch 2 151, and the notch 141 and the notch 2 151 constitute the inlet and outlet 11.

[0056] In order to reduce the number of assembly steps, the rear housing 15 and the fixed shaft 12 are an integrated structure.

[0057] Furthermore, the front baffle plate 22 can be arranged at the rear side of the front housing 14, or the front baffle plate 22 can be arranged at the front side of the front housing 14. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the front baffle plate 22 from deviating to the rear side when rotating, the front baffle plate 22 is arranged at the front side of the front housing 14, and the front housing 14 guides and limits the front baffle plate 22.

[0058] Preferably, the front baffle plate 22, the rear baffle plate 23 and the opening 13 are all circular and coaxially arranged, the diameter of the front baffle plate 22 is larger than the diameter of the opening 13, the rear end face of the front baffle plate 22 is in conflict with the front end face of the shell 1, and the front baffle plate 22 is axially limited; the diameter of the rear baffle plate 23 is smaller than the diameter of the opening 13, so that the rear baffle plate 23 can enter the shell 1 through the opening 13 conveniently.

[0059] Furthermore, a stopper 16 cooperating with the front baffle plate 22 is provided at the opening 13 , and the rear end surface of the front baffle plate 22 abuts against the front end surface of the stopper 16 .

[0060] In order to conveniently observe the number of light strings wound in the housing 1, the front baffle plate 22 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped through holes 222 concentric with the front baffle plate 22. The light strings wound in the housing 1 can be observed through the arc-shaped through holes 222.
