Through holes 1.3 are formed through each buffer groove 1.2. Limiting rods 3 are vertically inserted into the two through holes 1.3 respectively. The upper ends of the two limiting rods 3 are fixed to the lower surface of the annular plate 4. The compression springs 2 are sleeved on the limiting rods 3 and their upper ends abut against the lower surface of the annular plate 4. The annular plate 4 is movably placed in the first annular groove 1.1. A second annular groove 1.4 is formed on the lower surface of nut 1. A first annular conductive sheet 5 is fixed between the lower ends of the two limiting rods 3. The first annular conductive sheet 5 is placed in the second annular groove 1.4.
