The end of the connecting plate 13 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixing block 12. By setting a transmission structure on the lower side of the device and setting a clamping structure at the end of the cross fixing rod 4, the motor 17 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, thereby controlling the up and down displacement of the transmission disk 16.
