[0033] Furthermore, the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2 on both sides are equipped with corresponding bearings that cooperate with the central shaft 6. At the ends where they are close to each other, they are connected by components such as the sun gear, planet gear 7 and planet shaft 9, which facilitates installation and fixation, and also facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the sleeves on both sides, making them convenient to use.
