[0024] Furthermore, the lifting screw 6 is threadedly connected to a lifting block 11, which is slidably connected to the lifting port 9 and fixedly connected to the lifting plate 3.

[0025] It should be noted that by limiting the sliding of the lifting block 11 and the lifting port 9, the lifting plate 3 can make stable vertical linear movement.
