[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, when the multi-stage telescopic rod 4 is extended, the driving motor 6 rotates forward, and through the transmission of the first bevel gear 7 and the second bevel gear 11, the screw rod 405 rotates forward and drives the second sleeve 406 to move outward, and the second sleeve 406 also drives the fourth cylinder 404 to move outward together.

Figure 5 As shown, the limit ring 13 at the end of the screw rod 406 fits with the inner wall of the second sleeve 406, and under the action of the contact friction force, the second sleeve 406 rotates forward along with the screw rod 406, and the second sleeve 406 rotates forward and drives the third sleeve 407 to move outward. At the same time, the third sleeve 407 drives the fourth cylinder 404 to move outward, and pulls the third cylinder 403 out through the convex structure between the port of the fourth cylinder 404 and the port of the third cylinder 403, and moves to the position as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the stop ring 13 on the end face of the second sleeve 406 fits with the inner wall of the third sleeve 407, and under the action of friction, the third sleeve 407 is driven by the second sleeve 406 to rotate, and the fourth cylinder 404 is moved outward through the rotation of the third sleeve 407. At the same time, through the convex structure between the cylinder ports, the fourth cylinder 404 pulls the third cylinder 403 and the second cylinder 402 in turn, so that they move outward to the position shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the extension of the multi-stage telescopic rod 4 is completed at this time.

[0039] When the multi-stage telescopic rod 4 is retracted, the driving motor 6 rotates in the opposite direction, the screw 405 rotates in the opposite direction, and the second sleeve 406 moves inward, the second sleeve 406 drives the third sleeve 407 and the fourth cylinder 404 to move inward, and the third sleeve 407 moves into the second cylinder 402, and the fourth cylinder 404 is located in the third cylinder 403, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the block 14 on the end face of the second sleeve 406 cooperates with the block 14 on the end face of the screw rod 406, so that the screw rod 406 can drive the second sleeve 406 to rotate in the opposite direction (the specific method is: as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the sides of the two clamping blocks 14 fit together, that is, the two clamping blocks 14 fit together in an interlaced manner, and then the second sleeve 406 is rotated through the transmission of the clamping blocks 14), and the third sleeve 407 and the fourth cylinder 404 continue to move inwards through the reverse rotation of the second sleeve 406. At the same time, during the inward movement of the fourth cylinder 404, the antenna assembly connected thereto pushes the third cylinder 403 to move inwards, and moves to the position shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, at this time, the block 14 on the third sleeve 407 cooperates with the block 14 on the second sleeve 406, so that the third sleeve 407 can rotate in the opposite direction together (the specific method is: as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, a flange is sleeved on the outer end of the third sleeve 407, a threaded hole is opened on the flange, and the flange is fixedly connected to the third sleeve 407 by a threaded connection. The block 14 is fixedly installed on the flange, and the side of the block 14 fits with the side of the block 14 on the second sleeve 406, and the two blocks 14 fit alternately). Through the reverse rotation of the third sleeve 407, the fourth cylinder 404 continues to move inward, and the third cylinder 403 and the second cylinder 402 are pushed into the first cylinder 401 through the antenna assembly to complete the contraction.
