[0025] One end of the first transmission part 1 is connected to the first joint 4, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second transmission part 2, and the other end of the second transmission part 2 is hinged to the telescopic device. The actuator 3 is arranged at the end of the telescopic device away from the first transmission part 1, so that the first transmission part 1 and the second transmission part 2 can be driven to move during the mutual rotation of the first joint 4 and the second joint 5, thereby driving the telescopic device to extend or retract, and then driving the actuator 3 to move. The rotating joint includes a folding state and an unfolding state. When the rotating joint is in the folding state, the telescopic device is in a retracted state, the hinged end of the first transmission part 1 and the second transmission part 2 is located on the outside of the hinge axis 15 of the first joint 4 and the second joint 5, and the actuator 3 is close to the second joint 5; in the unfolded state, the telescopic device is in an extended state, and the actuator 3 extends away from the second joint 5. In this way, the rotation of the rotating joint can be converted into the extension or retraction of the telescopic device. In this process, there is no need to disassemble the original rotating joint, and this device only needs to be installed on the first joint 4 and the second joint 5.

[0026] The specific first transmission part 1 and the first joint 4 are connected in a detachable connection manner, and the telescopic device and the second joint 5 are connected in a detachable connection manner, which can further ensure the convenience of modification.
