The thickness of the clamping gap 733 in the first direction is greater than the thickness of the dial 74, and the thickness is adapted to the adjustment of the rotating plate 64 between the downward pressing posture and the upward tilting posture. Therefore, during the movement of the clamping member 73 along the first direction, the dial 74 and the rotating plate 64 can be pushed to rotate synchronously along the rotating shaft 63.
