[0025] The inside of the transverse groove 331 is slidably connected to a guide arm 332, and the guide arm 332 is connected to the hollow arm 2. The transverse groove 331 cooperates with the guide arm 332 to guide the nut 33 so that the nut 33 moves linearly. The outside of the nut 33 is evenly connected to inclined rods 34 through hinges. The inclined rods 34 can be transmitted through the linear motion of the nut 33, and the other end of the inclined rod 34 is connected to a bent plate 35 through a hinge. The bent plate 35 can be driven by the inclined rod 34 to fix and limit the connecting rod. A rubber pad is connected to the end of the bent plate 35 away from the hinge.

[0026] A telescopic short rod 351 is connected between the bent plate 35 and the hollow arm 2. The telescopic short rod 351 includes a sliding rod. The outer side of the sliding rod is slidably connected to a sleeve. The two ends of the sleeve and the sliding rod are respectively connected to the bent plate 35 and the hollow arm 2. The telescopic short rod 351 cooperates with the guide rail groove 11 and the guide rail block to guide and support the bent plate 35, thereby increasing the stability of the operation of the bent plate 35. The front side of the T-shaped bracket 1 is provided with guide rail grooves 11 at equal intervals, and the inner side of the guide rail groove 11 is slidably connected to a track block, which is connected to the bent plate 35.
