The other end is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the outer sleeve 20. An adjusting plate 16 is also arranged on the outer side of one end of the dial 8. A convex head 18 that is inserted into the inner side of the toothed groove 19 is fixed on one side of the bottom of the adjusting plate 16. A button 15 is arranged on the top of the adjusting plate 16. Protrusions are formed in the middle of the button 15 and on the other side of the middle of the adjusting plate 16. A torsion spring one 14 and a torsion spring two 17 are respectively arranged inside the outer sleeve 20. The torsion spring one 14 is connected to the button 15, and the torsion spring two 17 is connected to the adjusting plate 16. The two ends of the torsion spring one 14 extend outwards, and one end of the torsion spring one 14 is limited inside the outer sleeve 20, while the other end abuts against the protrusion on the button 15, which can generate a return force to realize the reset of the button 15 in the later stage.

The bottom of the button 15 is inclined, and the bottom of the button 15 is in fit connection with the top of the adjusting plate 16. The top of the adjusting plate 16 is in an arc structure to facilitate the insertion of the button 15. One end of the dial 8 extends to the outside of the outer sleeve 20, and the dial 8 is in a fan-shaped structure as a whole.
[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, the rod body 2 is composed of multiple segments, and a folding assembly is further provided between every two segments of the rod body 2. Through the designed folding assembly, the device can be folded to the minimum extent, which is convenient for storage during later idle periods. The folding assembly includes sleeves 7 symmetrically and fixedly sleeved on the opposite ends of adjacent rod bodies 2. A rotating clamping plate 3 is rotatably installed on the front surface of one of the sleeves 7, and a buckle 4 for the sleeve 7 to be snap-connected is fixed on the other sleeve 7. Connection seats 5 are fixedly installed on the rear surfaces of the two sleeves 7, and the two connection seats 5 are rotatably connected by a shaft. One end of the outer sleeve 20 forms an inclined handle 1, and a display screen is also installed on the outer sleeve 20.
[0024] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: During daily storage of the present invention, the rotating clamping plate 3 at the positions of the bottom and middle rod bodies 2 is pulled, and the rotating clamping plate 3 is separated from the buckle 4. Subsequently, it is flipped and folded through the connection seat 5. By the same method, the rod bodies 2 at the top and middle positions are flipped and folded again to complete the entire folding and storage; during normal use, it moves through the traveling wheels 6, and the distance traveled by the traveling wheels 6 is statistically calculated by the data sensor inside the bottom rod body 2. Since this principle is prior art, it will not be elaborated further here; when it is necessary to temporarily restrict the movement of the traveling wheels 6, refer to Figure 3 , press the dial 8 protruding to the outside of the bottom of the outer sleeve 20. At this time, the dial 8 is engaged with the convex head 18 through the tooth groove 19 to complete the position limitation of the dial 8. At this time, the height of one end of the dial 8 is lifted, and the other end rotates downward. At this time, the brake rope 9 in the inner area of the outer sleeve 20 will be stretched upward; then refer to Figure 2 , when the brake rope 9 is stretched upward, the end of the connection block 10 connected to the brake rope 9 will move upward together, and the other end of the connection block 10 drives the rotating shaft 11 to perform a clockwise circular rotation. At this time, the rotating shaft 11 drives the dial 12 to move in the same direction, and the dial 12 drives the brake block 13 to move toward the surface of the traveling wheel 6. When the brake block 13 contacts the surface of the traveling wheel 6, the entire braking action is completed. The tightness of the brake is determined by the pressing force of the dial 8. The more the dial 8 is pressed into the inner area of the outer sleeve 20, when the tooth groove 19 at the bottom position is engaged with the convex head 18, the closer the brake block 13 fits with the traveling wheel 6, the greater the friction, and the better the braking effect. When it is necessary to move normally later, continue to refer to Figure 3, first press the button 15 on the outer sleeve 20. The protrusion on the side of the button 15 will squeeze the first torsion spring 14, and the first torsion spring 14 generates a resilience force. During the continuous pressing of the button 15, the bottom of the button 15 is inclined, and drives the adjusting plate 16 to move towards the inner wall of the outer sleeve 20. At this time, the protrusion on the side of the adjusting plate 16 will squeeze the second torsion spring 17, and the second torsion spring 17 also generates a resilience force. Then, the convex head 18 on the bottom side of the adjusting plate 16 moves out of the inside of the tooth groove 19. After the dial 8 is no longer restricted by the clamping limit, it returns to its original position, the brake rope 9 descends, and the connecting block 10, the rotating shaft 11, the dial plate 12, and the brake block 13 return to their original positions, and the traveling wheel 6 can continue to travel. Finally, release the pressure on the button 15, the first torsion spring 14 rebounds the button 15 to its original position, and the second torsion spring 17 rebounds the adjusting plate 16 to its original position. The adjusting plate 16 is snapped into the tooth groove 19 at the top position through the convex head 18 to ensure that the two are always in a connected state.
[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
