When the wing rod 3 rotates to an angle matching the third chute, the sliding rod 18 will slide into the third chute under the elastic force of the second spring 17, playing a fixing role.

[0034] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , each set of limiting mechanisms includes a limiting groove 8, a limiting button 11, a sliding ball 15, a first spring 16 and a limiting block 19.
