The inner wall of the fixing cylinder 11 is provided with internal teeth. A first plug rod 3 is inserted into the upper end of the main nut 1. The first plug rod 3 is located in the area surrounded by the fixing cylinder 11. A first gear 31 is rotatably installed on the first plug rod 3. The first gear 31 meshes with the internal teeth. The lower end of the auxiliary nut 2 The end face is against the upper end face of the main nut 1, the auxiliary nut 2 and the main nut 1 have the same threaded hole 10, the auxiliary nut 2 and the main nut 1 are located on the same vertical central axis, the auxiliary nut 2 is cylindrical on the outside, and the outer wall of the auxiliary nut 2 is provided with external teeth, which are meshed with the first gear 31. A mounting platform 21 is fixed on the outer wall of the auxiliary nut 2, and a second plug rod 4 is inserted into the upper end of the mounting platform 21. The second plug rod 4 is located in the area surrounded by the fixed tube 11, and a second gear 41 is rotatably installed on the second plug rod 4, and the second gear 41 is meshed with both the internal teeth and the external teeth.
[0015] In order to prevent the first plug rod 3 and the second plug rod 4 from rotating, a slot 15 is provided on the upper end surface of the main nut 1 and the upper end surface of the mounting strip. The slot 15 has a rectangular cross-section, and the end of the first plug rod 3 and the end of the second plug rod 4 are provided with an insertion section 30 adapted to the slot 15.
[0016] The first gear 31 and the second gear 41 are both mounted with bearings 35 . The bearing 35 on the first gear 31 is mounted on the first insertion rod 3 , and the bearing 35 on the second gear 41 is mounted on the second insertion rod 4 .
[0017] Embodiment 2:
[0018] See also Figure 2 On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to prevent the first plug rod 3 and the second plug rod 4 from loosening, an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 11, and an auxiliary cover 5 is screwed on the fixing cylinder 11. The inner wall of the auxiliary cover 5 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread. The auxiliary inner top wall resists the first plug rod 3 and the second plug rod 4.
