[0027] The self-locking mechanism includes a self-locking rod 6, which is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 3, and one end of the self-locking rod 6 is against the side wall of the guide rail 2. By twisting the self-locking rod 6 to make it fit against the inner side of the guide rail 2, the sliding position of the mounting plate 3 is fixed by friction, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the measuring wire 5.
