After the hollow shaft is contracted, it is completely embedded in the interior of the reel holder 63 without occupying additional space; in this embodiment, the number of the hollow shaft intermediate sections 65 is 3, that is, the hollow shaft is four-stage telescopic, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, according to the size of the reel support 63 and the requirement of its translation distance, the number of the hollow shaft intermediate sections 65 can be zero or more. If there are zero hollow shaft intermediate sections 65, the hollow shaft only includes one stage of telescopic movement;
