The rotation of the rotating rod 16 drives the rotating block 8 to swing up and down in the movable slot 7. The rotating block 8 is provided with a stop block 13. The rotating angle of the rotating block 8 is limited by the stop block 12. The rotating distance of the rotating block 8 is limited. The rotating of the rotating block 8 drives the connecting rod 10 to rotate forward and backward on the connecting plate 9 through the connecting frame 11. The forward and backward rotation of the connecting rod 10 drives the instrument panel 4 to move forward and backward, so that the distance is changed. During the movement of the instrument panel 4 in the mounting slot 3, the moving plate 22 is moved by the instrument panel 4. When the moving plate 22 moves forward, the moving plate 22 drives the supporting rod 15 to move in the moving slot 19. When the supporting rod 15 moves to the bottom of the moving slot 19, the supporting rod 15 is fixed in the fixing slot 20. When the moving plate 22 moves backward, the supporting rod 15 is pressed in the moving slot 19 by the moving plate 22.
