[0021] The mounting block 5 has a T-shaped groove 6 inside, and a T-shaped slider 7 is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove 6. The T-shaped slider 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 9. An electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chassis 1. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped slider 7. Through the cooperation of the electric telescopic rod 8 and the T-shaped slider 7, the connecting seat 9 can be moved, thereby pushing the first rotating rod 11 to move through the two first connecting blocks 10, thereby pushing the two second connecting blocks 13, and then pushing the two first collars 12 to move accordingly.

[0022] Two corresponding fourth connecting blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the first ring 12, and two corresponding third connecting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the second ring 14. A push rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the third connecting block 15 through a rotating shaft, and one end of the push rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fourth connecting block 17 through a rotating shaft.

[0023] The second ring 14 has two corresponding insertion slots 21 inside. Insertion rods 20 are inserted into the insertion slots 21. An arc block 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the insertion rod 20. A brake disc 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc block 18.

Then, the two push rods 16 push the second collar 14 to move, and then the mounting arc block 18 pushes the brake disc 19 to move, so that the brake disc 19 and the brake seat 25 fit together, thereby increasing the friction for braking. By disassembling the fixing bolt 24, the fixing of the plug rod 20 is released, thus facilitating the removal of the plug rod 20 and the positioning rod 23 from the inside of the plug groove 21 and the positioning groove 22, and then replacing the brake disc 19 and the mounting arc block 18.
