The rotating guide rail 8 is provided on the circumference of the bearing 7 and the slots 9 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the fixed part 102. The unlocking switch 3 is fixedly connected to the pin 5. When the unlocking switch 3 is toggled, the pin 5 is driven to disengage from the slot 9, so that the rotating part 101 can be switched between the horizontal and vertical directions along the fixed part 102. During the switching process, the rotating limit column 6 slides in the rotating guide rail 8. The pole includes a telescopically adjustable multi-section pole 2. The multi-section pole 2 is correspondingly provided with a telescopic marble 10 and a bushing 11. The inner wall of the bushing 11 is provided with a marble guide groove.
