[0026] In the embodiment, bevel gears 405 are connected to both ends of the limit ring 2, and a bevel gear ring 406 is provided at the top of the installation cylinder 3, so that the rotation of the two bevel gears 405 is driven by the rotation of the bevel gear ring 406, thereby achieving the effect of the two bevel gears 405 rotating in the same direction, and further driving the two screws 402 for clamping.
[0027] In an embodiment, an external gear ring 407 is installed on the outer surface of the bevel gear ring 406. A micro motor 408 is provided at the top of the installation cylinder 3. A spur gear 409 is provided on the outer surface of the output shaft of the micro motor 408, so that the micro motor 408 drives the spur gear 409 to drive the external gear ring 407, and then drives the bevel gear ring 406 to rotate.
[0028] It should be noted that this part aims to provide background or context for the embodiments described in the claims, and detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.
