[0045] It should be explained that, with respect to the anti-rotation pin 56 of the present invention, it can be installed and fastened to the optical axis portion 552 of the driving push rod 55 in the following manner.

[0054] It should be explained that, since the wiring PCB board 7 covers the PIN pin through hole 6 and the wiring PIN pin 43 is welded to the wiring PCB board 7, this structural design can ensure that the PIN pin through hole 6 between the front cover plastic part 21 and the rear cover plastic part 31 is blocked from the outside world, so as to further improve the sealing of the shell accommodating cavity 11.

[0055] In addition, in order to ensure that the wiring PCB board 7 can be quickly and accurately installed on the front cover PCB fixing part 213 and the rear cover PCB fixing part 311, the present invention adopts the following structural design, specifically: the front cover PCB fixing part 213 is provided with a front cover positioning column 2131, and the rear cover PCB fixing part 311 is provided with a rear cover positioning column 3111, and the wiring PCB board 7 is respectively provided with positioning holes 71 corresponding to the front cover positioning column 2131 and the rear cover positioning column 3111, and the front cover positioning column 2131 and the rear cover positioning column 3111 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 71 of the wiring PCB board 7.
