[0032] The reset unit is used to always provide the positioning unit with a rotational thrust in one direction;

[0033] The positioning unit includes a rotating ring 501, a turntable 502, a guide groove 503, a guide rod 504, and a positioning rod 505;

[0034] The rotating ring 501 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the clamping member 2, and the rotating ring 501 is used to synchronously drive the turntable 502 to rotate.

[0035] Turntable 502 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of clamping member 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of rotating ring 501 via connecting rod. Turntable 502 is used to synchronously drive guide groove 503 to rotate circumferentially.

[0036] A guide groove 503 is formed on the outer wall of the turntable 502, and the guide groove 503 is used to provide guidance for the vertical movement of the guide rod 504;

[0037] The guide rod 504 is vertically slidably installed on the inner wall of the clamping member 2 and extends to the inner side of the clamping member 2. The guide rod 504 is used to synchronously drive the positioning rod 505 to move.
