[0036] In order to avoid that the long belt swings and injures the operator, in the embodiment, the other end of the volute spring shaft 7 is provided with a centrifugal brake assembly;

[0037] The centrifugal brake assembly 20 comprises a brake disc 10, a brake cover 11, brake claws 12 and a reset compression spring 13. The middle part of the brake disc 10 is fixedly connected with the volute spring shaft 7 by screws and rotates synchronously and coaxially with the volute spring shaft 7. The brake claws 12 are multiple in number, three in the embodiment. The three brake claws 12 are distributed in the circumferential direction on the brake disc 10 and rotatably connected with the brake disc 10 at one end. The reset compression spring 13 is installed on the brake disc 10 and elastically contacts the brake claws 12 to provide a force for the brake claws 12 to converge to the center of the brake disc 10. In the static state, the brake claws 12 converge to the center of the brake disc 10. The brake cover 11 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the base 6 and contains the brake disc 10, the brake claws 12 and the reset compression spring 13 in the brake cover 11.
