A flat tail 11 is connected to the lower end of the probe housing 3. A V-shaped groove 12 is provided on the base 1. The flat tail 11 corresponds to the V-shaped groove 12 in position and is mutually matched. By adjusting the tightness of the bracket fixing screw 7, the height of the bracket 2 is adjusted to ensure that the flat tail 11 of the probe housing 3 is inserted into the V-shaped groove 12 of the base 1, thereby determining the positioning of the flat tail 11 of the probe housing 3. An insulating part 4 is installed in the probe housing 3, and a detection element 5 is inserted into the probe housing 3 and fixed by the insulating part 4.

The insulating part 4 is provided with an insulating part wire slot 10. The insulation between the detection element 5 and the probe housing 3 is relatively good, and the standard needs to reach 500 MΩ or more. An insertion post 8 is connected below the rotating wheel 6. A U-shaped groove 16 is opened at the upper part of the detection element 5, and the U-shaped groove 16 corresponds to the insertion post 8 in position and is mutually matched. A clamping groove 13 is provided on the bracket 2, and a clamping block 14 is provided on the rotating wheel 6.
