[0030] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the upper end of the inner tube 3 is fixedly installed with a positioning seat 17 through a bolt, the positioning seat 17 is provided with a through hole 18 for the rotating column 14 to pass through, the inner wall of the through hole 18 is provided with a blind hole 19 extending along the radial direction of the rotating column 14, the blind hole 19 is movably installed with a positioning ball 20, the outer circumferential surface of the rotating column 14 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 21 for one side of the positioning ball 20 to be clamped into, and the inner wall of the blind hole 19 and the side of the positioning ball 20 away from the rotating column 14 are provided with a spring 22 for pushing the positioning ball 20 to be clamped into the arc-shaped groove 21; in the embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 21 includes a first arc-shaped groove 23 and a second arc-shaped groove 24, when the positioning ball 20 is clamped into the first arc-shaped groove 23, the baffle 16 is rotated to the side of the rotating column 14 close to the movable plate 6, and when the positioning ball 20 is clamped into the second arc-shaped groove 24, the baffle 16 is rotated to the side of the rotating column 14 away from the movable plate 6. Specifically, when the positioning ball 20 is clamped into the first arc-shaped groove 23 or the second arc-shaped groove 24, the resistance to the rotation of the rotating column 14 is increased, thereby avoiding the rotating column 14 from being randomly rotated to cause the position of the baffle 16 to change. In addition, the upper end of the rotating column 14 protrudes outward from the inner tube 3 and is fixedly installed with a knob, thereby facilitating the rotation and adjustment of the rotating column 14.
