The first transmission rod and the third transmission rod are arranged in parallel, and the cross-sections of the two are hexagonal. Two casters are connected to the first transmission rod and the third transmission rod respectively. The casters adopt universal casters with central control full lock. The first transmission rod and the third transmission rod respectively pass through the hexagonal through holes at the central general lock of the corresponding casters, wherein each caster is assembled on a base plate, and the base plate is a part of the equipment. Through the action of each caster, the equipment can be moved or fixed; a spur gear is fixedly connected to the first transmission rod, and the first transmission rod, the second transmission rod and the third transmission rod are driven by a bevel gear.
