The outer wall of the limiting ball 13 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 9.
[0040] Working principle: When the sliding ring 7 moves backward, the spring 6 is compressed. At this time, the outer shell 9 moves backward and slides in the groove 15, squeezing the limiting ball 13 to slide outward. At the same time, the support ball 3 is squeezed backward by the support ball 11, and the spring 4 is compressed, which releases the sliding ring 7. The sliding ring 7 is squeezed forward by the spring 6, and the limiting ball 13 is squeezed inward by the sliding ring 7. When the sliding ring 7 contacts the limiting ring 8, the elastic force of the spring 6 is released. At this time, the limiting ball 13 squeezes the outer wall of the outer shell 9.
[0041] The sliding of outer shell 2 9 is restricted, and the installation operation is finally completed. When the sliding ring 7 moves backward, the spring 3 6 is compressed. At this time, the spring 1 4 releases its elastic force, squeezing the support ball 2 11 and causing the outer shell 2 9 to move outward. The outer shell 2 9 slides in the groove 2 15, squeezing the limiting ball 13 to slide outward. When the outer shell 2 9 is completely pulled out, the sliding ring 7 is released. The sliding ring 7 is squeezed forward by the spring 3 6, and the limiting ball 13 is squeezed inward by the sliding ring 7, finally completing the disassembly operation.
[0042] Motor 19 drives rotating shaft 20 to rotate, which in turn drives turntable 21 to rotate. Multiple rotating arms 22 on the front side of turntable 21 move in tandem. Rotating arms 22 and rotating arms 23 work together. When turntable 21 rotates clockwise, rotating arm 22 pulls rotating arm 23, causing fixed pad 24 to move inward along the track of limit frame 26. When fixed pad 24 and groove 27 move away from each other, the loosening action is completed. When turntable 21 rotates counterclockwise, rotating arm 22 pulls rotating arm 23, causing fixed pad 24 to move outward along the track of limit frame 26. When fixed pad 24 and groove 27 press against each other, the tightening action is completed.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
