The outer wall of 160 is concave to form a first winding groove 161 and a second winding groove 162. The first winding groove 161 and the second winding groove 162 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the winding wheel 160, and the second winding groove 162 is located on the side of the winding wheel 160 away from the column 110. The winding wheel 160 is fixed to the lower end of the column 110. One end of the first cable 170 is wound around the first winding groove 161 and fixed to the winding wheel 160, and the other end first goes upward, then turns downward by passing the first steering wheel 130, and then turns upward by passing the first movable pulley 122, and is fixed to the upper part of the column 110; one end of the second cable 180 is wound around the second winding groove 162 and fixed to the winding wheel 160, and the other end first goes upward, then turns downward by passing the second movable pulley 123, and is fixed to the lower part of the column 110. During operation, the motor 140 rotates to drive the winding wheel 160 to rotate toward the first direction, the second cable 180 wound on the second winding groove 162 is released, and the first cable 170 is reeled into the first winding groove 161, and the first movable pulley 122 is driven to rise by reeling in the first cable 170, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 120 to rise; when the motor 140 rotates to drive the winding wheel 160 to rotate toward the second direction, the first cable 170 wound on the first winding groove 161 is released, and the second cable 180 is reeled into the second winding groove 162 to drive the second movable pulley 123 to descend, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 120 to descend.

[0053] Since the first cable 170 is wound around the first movable pulley 122, the first cable 170 provides an upward pulling force from both sides of the first movable pulley 122, which is beneficial to reducing the pulling force borne by the first cable 170 on one side, so that the first movable pulley 122 is subjected to balanced force, and the sliding sleeve 120 rises smoothly with high reliability. Similarly, when the second cable 180 drives the sliding sleeve 120 to descend, the second cable 180 provides a downward pulling force from both sides of the second sliding wheel 123, which is beneficial to reducing the pulling force borne by the second cable 180 on one side, so that the second sliding wheel 123 is subjected to balanced force, and the sliding sleeve 120 moves smoothly during the descent.

[0054] It should be noted that there can be two winding wheels 160, one of which is provided with a first winding groove 161, and the other winding wheel 160 is provided with a second winding groove 162; the first cable 170 is wound on the first movable pulley 122, and the first cable 170 provides an upward pulling force from both sides of the first movable pulley 122, which can reduce the pulling force acting on the first cable 170. Similarly, the second cable 180 is wound on the second movable pulley 123, and the second cable 180 provides a downward pulling force from both sides of the second sliding wheel 123, which can reduce the pulling force acting on the second cable 180.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be understood that the first movable pulley 122 and the second movable pulley 123 are respectively connected to the first cable 170 and the second cable 180.
