[0020] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface of the device body 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 8, and an adjusting screw 9 is rotatably provided on the connecting piece 8. Figure 2As shown, the adjusting screw 9 is extended along the radial direction of the device body 2, and the adjusting screw 9 is located inside the support rod 3 and is threadedly connected to the corresponding push rod 4. The adjusting screw 9 is coaxially connected to the transmission gear 12 at one end corresponding to the internal part of the device body 2. The internal rotation of the device body 2 is provided with a crown gear 13, and the upper end of the device body 2 is provided with an adjusting block 14 coaxially connected to the crown gear 13. The transmission gear 12 is respectively engaged with the crown gear 13. By rotating the adjusting block 14, the adjusting block 14 drives the crown gear 13 to rotate, and the crown gear 13 drives the transmission gear 12 to rotate synchronously, and the transmission gear 12 drives the corresponding adjusting screw 9 to rotate, and then under the action of the threaded cooperation, the push rod 4 is controlled to slide along the support rod 3 to drive the arc-shaped fixing plate 5 to move, and the arc-shaped fixing plate 5 is pressed against the inner wall of the lifebuoy 1 to achieve fixation between the device body 2 and the lifebuoy 1.
