A driven bevel gear 111 is connected to the bottom of the shaft rod 110, and the shaft rod 110 rotates synchronously with the driven bevel gear 111;

[0034] For the convenience of connecting the power component 400, a bracket 101 is integrally formed and connected to the outside of the connecting frame 100;

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figures 1-4 , the steering adjustment component 200 is connected to the shaft rod 110 and moves synchronously with the shaft rod 110;

[0036] The steering adjustment component 200 includes a driving pulley 210 connected to the top of the shaft rod 110. The driving pulley 210 rotates with the shaft rod 110.
