The control circuit structure 301 is connected in series between the driving circuit structure 201 and the motor 200, and is used to control the connection or cutting off of the driving circuit structure 201 and the motor 200, so as to control whether the motor 200 drives the push rod 400. In addition, the control circuit structure 301, the driving circuit structure 201 and the motor 200 are arranged independently, which is convenient for maintenance and has low maintenance cost.
[0031] For example, when the control structure fails, the control circuit structure 301 can be directly replaced as a whole.
