One kind of moving mechanism 3 is shown in Figure 3 One kind of moving mechanism 3 is shown in Figure 1 The two kinds of moving mechanisms 3 will be described in detail as follows:

[0028] Embodiment one:

[0029] As shown in Figure 3 The moving mechanism 3 comprises a roller 31, a fixing frame 32, a support arm 33, a support arm 33 comprising a magnetic block 331, and a connecting seat 34. The roller 31 is arranged on the fixing frame 32, the connecting seat 34 is arranged on the fixing frame 32, and the support arm 33 is hinged to the fixing frame 32. The magnetic block 331 is arranged to be magnetically connected to the positioning block. The connecting seat 34 comprises a top plate 341, a stand column 342, and a power assembly 343.
