The support rod of the cable guide ring 216 slides inside the guide groove 212. Reciprocating cable laying is achieved by the cable guide ring 216 sliding inside the guide groove 212.
[0026] A reciprocating drive unit 22 is disposed on the rear side of the base unit 21 and is used to drive the base unit 21.
[0027] In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive unit 22 includes a first sprocket 221 and a second sprocket 222 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the slide rail base plate 211.
