[0029] Anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer side of the driving button 43 .

[0030] The specific working principle of the height adjustment of the movable pole 6 is as follows:

[0031] First, by pressing the driving button 43 inward, the inverted L-shaped block 61 is separated from the card plate 62 and is located in the through hole 63. Then the driving button 43 moves downward. At this time, the vertical slider 41 and the driving block 42 are driven downward by the action of the guide column 45. While the driving block 42 moves downward, it pushes on the guide slope 48, thereby sliding the horizontal slider 32 so that the locking rod 33 extends out of the locking hole 9 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown), at this time, the movable upright 6 can be adjusted up and down relative to the fixed upright 5; after the adjustment is completed, the driving button 43, the vertical slider 41 and the driving block 42 are reset upward, and the locking rod 33 is reinserted into the corresponding locking hole 9 under the action of the first spring 34 (as shown). Figure 4As shown), the movable upright 6 is locked. At the same time, the inverted L-shaped block 61 passes upward through the through hole 63 and, under the action of the second spring 46, the driving button 43 pops outward. At this time, the inverted L-shaped block 61 is stuck on the card plate 62, thereby limiting the driving button 43.
