[0025] The auxiliary assembly 7 comprises a connecting shaft 72 rotatably arranged in the inner portion of the stand 4 and fixedly connected with the second bevel gear 65, a rotating disc 71 fixedly installed on the connecting shaft 72 penetrating through the end portion of the stand 4, a fixed friction block 73 fixedly installed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the stand 4, a ball head long rod 76 slidingly arranged in the inner portion of the connecting shaft 72, a connecting rod 75 fixedly connected with the ball head long rod 76, a movable friction block 74 fixedly connected with the connecting rod 75, a first spring 77 with two ends fixedly connected with the ball head long rod 76 and the connecting shaft 72, a sliding block 79 slidingly arranged in the inner portion of the rotating disc 71, a ball head short rod 78 and a sliding knob 710 fixedly installed on the two side faces of the sliding block 79 respectively, and a second spring 711 with two ends fixedly connected with the sliding block 79 and the rotating disc 71. The fixed friction block 73 and the movable friction block 74 are designed in a ring shape, and the side faces adjacent to each other of the fixed friction block 73 and the movable friction block 74 are provided with friction lines for enhancing friction. The ring shape design can avoid interference with the connecting shaft 72, so as to guarantee the rationality of the overall structural design. A sliding groove for penetrating through the two ends of the connecting rod 75 is formed on the connecting shaft 72, and the two ends of the sliding groove are designed in a sealed manner. The ball head end of the ball head short rod 78 is designed in a relative manner with the ball head end of the ball head long rod 76, and the ball head end of the ball head short rod 78 can contact the ball head end of the ball head long rod 76. A T-shaped protrusion for maintaining the sliding connection relationship with the rotating disc 71 is fixedly installed on the sliding block 79, and the T-shaped protrusion is provided with two.

[0026] Working principle, when the height of the wind knife body 3 needs to be adjusted, first push the slide button 710 to slide, and the slider 79 fixedly connected to the slide button 710 slides synchronously inside the turntable 71, and the ball head short rod 78 fixed on the other side of the slider 79 is staggered with the ball head long rod 76. At this time, the ball head long rod 76 loses its restriction because the ball head long rod 76 is fixed with the connecting rod 75. The ball head long rod 76 is fixedly connected to the movable friction block 74 through the connecting rod 75. The ball head long rod 76 is also slidably connected to the connecting shaft 72 through the connecting rod 75, and the ball head long rod 76 also uses the first spring 77 to connect The shaft 72 is further connected, so under the action of the first spring 77, the movable friction block 74, the connecting rod 75 and the ball head long rod 76 are driven to slide together, so that a slight gap is generated between the movable friction block 74 and the fixed friction block 73 fixed inside the column 4. After the turntable 71 is driven to rotate by the slide button 710, the connecting shaft 72 fixed to the turntable 71 rotates synchronously inside the column 4, and the end of the connecting shaft 72 is fixed with the second bevel gear 65 meshing with the first bevel gear 64. The first bevel gear 64 is fixed on the screw rod 63. Therefore, under the transmission of the second bevel gear 65 and the first bevel gear 64, the screw rod 63 rotates as the turntable 71 rotates, and the connecting block 61 fixed on the wind knife body 3 is slidably connected to the column 4 and is also threadedly connected to the screw rod 63. As the screw rod 63 rotates, the connecting block 61 drives the wind knife body 3 to slide up and down. By observing the scale 62 on the surface of the column 4, its height is adjusted to meet actual use needs. Finally, the slide button 710 is released, and the slider 79 and the turntable 71 are respectively fixed at both ends under the action of the second spring 711 9. The short ball rod 78 and even the sliding button 710 slide back. At this time, the ball end of the short ball rod 78 squeezes the long ball rod 76 again, causing the long ball rod 76 to slide, thereby eliminating the gap between the movable friction block 74 and the fixed friction block 73. The adjacent sides of the movable friction block 74 and the fixed friction block 73 are provided with mutually matching friction grooves. When the movable friction block 74 and the fixed friction block 73 come into contact, a friction force is generated that can limit the rotation of the movable friction block 74, thereby locking the rotation of the connecting shaft 72 and the screw rod 63 and other structures, and then locking the position of the wind knife body 3.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
