The outer surface of the middle sleeve 4 is provided with a first thread 41, and the inner surface of the outer shell 1 is provided with a second thread 13 that cooperates with the first thread 41. The outer shell 1 rotates around the middle sleeve 4 through the interaction between the first thread 41 and the second thread 13. Specifically, when the outer shell 1 rotates clockwise around the middle sleeve 4, the gear 31, driven by the rib 12, rotates clockwise around the connecting member 33, thereby driving the connecting rod 32 to the right, thereby closing the magazine opening 11. When the outer shell 1 rotates counterclockwise around the middle sleeve 4, the gear 31, driven by the rib 12, rotates counterclockwise around the connecting member 33, thereby driving the connecting rod 32 to the left, thereby opening the magazine opening 11.

[0045] See also Figures 4 to 6As a preferred solution, in this embodiment, the bracket 2 is further provided with a stabilizing structure, which includes a first magnet 23 and a first groove 25 provided on the bracket 2. The first magnet 23 is disposed in the first groove 25, and the first magnet 23 stabilizes the position of the connecting rod 32 through magnetic attraction. Specifically, when the housing 1 rotates clockwise around the middle sleeve 4, the gear 31, driven by the rib 12, rotates clockwise around the connecting member 33, thereby driving the connecting rod 32 to move rightward to the first connecting rod position that closes the magazine opening 11. At this time, the housing 1 can continue to rotate clockwise, causing the rib 12 and the gear 31 to disengage, and the connecting rod 32 cannot stabilize its position. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the first magnet 23 and the second groove 25 on the bracket 2 to form a stabilizing structure. The first connecting rod position of the connecting rod 32 is stabilized by magnetic attraction, thereby locking the magazine opening 11. Preferably, the connecting rod 32 is made of a magnetic metal material.

Specifically, when the housing 1 rotates counterclockwise around the middle sleeve 4, the gear 31, driven by the rib 12, rotates counterclockwise around the connecting member 33, thereby driving the connecting rod 32 to move leftward to the second connecting rod position that opens the magazine opening 11. At this time, the housing 1 can continue to rotate counterclockwise, causing the rib 12 and the gear 31 to disengage, and the connecting rod 32 cannot stabilize its position. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the second magnet 24 and the second groove 26 on the bracket 2 to form a reset structure, which helps the connecting rod 32 reset to the second connecting rod position through magnetic attraction, thereby opening the magazine opening 11.

[0047] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 As a preferred solution, in this embodiment, a mounting groove 42 is provided on the inner wall of the middle sleeve 4, a mounting boss 27 matching the mounting groove 41 is provided on the side wall of the bracket 2, a clamping groove 43 is provided on the inner wall of the middle sleeve 4, and a hook 28 matching the clamping groove 43 is provided on the side wall of the bracket 2.
