There are two swing arms 3, and the swing arms 3 are distributed along the length direction of the shell 1. The swing arm 3 includes a first hinge end 31 and a second hinge end 32. The first hinge end 31 is rotatably connected to the shell 1 through a rotating shaft 6. The rotating shaft 6 vertically passes through the shell 1 and the swing arm 3. The swing arm 3 can rotate horizontally around the rotating shaft 6.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4, Figure 5 As shown, the handle 4 includes a grip plate 42 and two connecting rods 41. The grip plate 42 is located outside the shell 1, and the connecting rods 41 penetrate the shell 1. Each connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected to a second hinge end 32. The connecting rods 41 and the grip plate 42 are vertically arranged. The shell 1 is provided with a hole for the connecting rod 41 to pass through. One end of the connecting rod 41 extending into the shell 1 is hinged to the second hinge end 32 of the swing arm 3. When the swing arm 3 rotates horizontally around the rotating shaft 6, it can drive the connecting rod 41 to move, so that the grip plate 42 can be close to or away from the shell 1, so that the handle 4 has a telescopic function.

[0031] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 When the handle 4 is retracted, the driving device 5 is installed on the shell 1, and the push rod 2 is located below the two swing arms 3.

When the handle 4 needs to be extended, the telescopic rod 51 of the driving device 5 pushes the push rod 2 to move along the length direction of the shell 1, and then the roller 22 can push the swing arm 3 to rotate. The roller 22 can reduce the friction force when the push rod 2 pushes the swing arm 3 to prevent contact and jamming between the push rod 2 and the swing arm 3. The rotation of the swing arm 3 can push the connecting rod 41 toward the outside of the shell 1, drive the grip plate 42 away from the shell 1, and extend the handle 4 out of the shell 1.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the shell 1 is provided with at least two waist-shaped holes 11, which are distributed along the length direction of the shell 1. The lower end surface of the push rod 2 is provided with a limiting column 24 corresponding to the waist-shaped hole 11. The diameter of the limiting column 24 is the same as the width of the waist-shaped hole 11. The waist-shaped hole 11 plays a guiding and limiting role for the moving direction of the push rod 2.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 6 is installed with a torsion spring 61, and the torsion spring 61 includes a first end 611 and a second end 612. The shell 1 is provided with a baffle 12, and the first end 611 abuts against the baffle 12, and the second end 612 abuts against the swing arm 3. When the driving device 5 pushes the push rod 2, it can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 61 to push the swing arm 3 to rotate. When the driving device 5 removes the thrust on the push rod 2, the torsion spring 61 can restore the position of the swing arm 3 and can make the swing arm 3 always abut against the roller 22.
