When the cross bar 11 moves upward, it will drive the two sets of docking parts 1101 at one end to move synchronously. When the docking parts 1101 move, they will drive the two sliders 1102 on one side to move. When the slider 1102 moves, it will squeeze the plug 1106 and the corresponding socket, so that the plug 1106 will shrink toward the inside of the installation groove 1103. Finally, the slider 1102 will be separated from the fixed relationship with the corresponding slide groove. At this time, the cross bar 11 can move on the vertical bar 10. When the height of the cross bar 11 increases, it will also drive the height of the first vision camera 12 to increase. In this way, the height of the first vision camera 12 can be adjusted very conveniently during use.
