[0026] A pressing handle 6 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting rack 13. The bottom end of the pressing handle 6 extends to the outside of the frame 1;

[0027] During use, due to the provision of the pressing handle 6, the pressing handle 6 can be pressed to adjust the angle of the frame 1;

[0028] Reinforcing ribs 14 are provided at equal intervals on the inner walls of the frame 1 on both sides of the component mounting rack 11. A universal joint 12 is movably connected to the upper end inside the component mounting rack 11. A rotating shaft 2 is provided at the center position at the top of the universal joint 12. The top end of the rotating shaft 2 extends to the outside of the frame 1 and a handle 3 is provided. A mounting seat 4 is provided at one end of the handle 3 away from the rotating shaft 2.
