Two sets of support plates 5 are fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the outer surface of the second connecting plate 6 near the shock-absorbing airbag 1. The guide post 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the protective cover 10. A slide groove 12 is formed on one side of the outer surface of the guide post 11. The pressure sensor 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the slide groove 12 near the end of the shock-absorbing airbag 1. The slide rod 15 passes through the slide groove 12 and is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the cylindrical ring 16 near the shock-absorbing airbag 1. One end of the shock-absorbing airbag 1; the outer wall of the slide rod 15 is slidably connected to the slide groove 12, the outer wall of the cylindrical ring 16 is slidably connected to the circular groove 8, and the inner wall of the cylindrical ring 16 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide post 11; the compression spring 14 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of one end of the guide post 11, and the compression spring 14 is fixedly installed between the outer surface of the cylindrical ring 16 near the shock-absorbing airbag 1 and one end of the inner cavity of the protective cover 10, and the outer surface of one end of the cylindrical ring 16 is elastically connected to one end of the inner cavity of the protective cover 10 through the compression spring 14.
