An installation assembly 3 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the feed line 21. The installation assembly 3 includes an installation plate 31, and a support frame 32 and a U-shaped support frame 33 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of one side of the installation plate 31, and the support frame 32 is slidably fitted on the outside of the feed line 21.
[0023] Furthermore, the top two sides of the U-shaped support frame 33 are respectively provided with a movable cavity 34 and a limiting cavity 36. A fixed shaft is provided in the movable cavity 34, and a limiting plate 35 is slidably provided outside the fixed shaft. A locking component 4 is slidably provided on one side of the U-shaped support frame 33 located in the limiting cavity 36, and the limiting plate 35 and the U-shaped support frame 33 are connected and limited by the locking component 4.
[0024] Meanwhile, the locking component 4 includes a slider 42, in which a rod 41 is slidably disposed, and a hole for the rod 41 to slide is opened in the slider 42, and limit protrusions 421 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the hole.
[0025] Meanwhile, sliding grooves 411 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the insertion rod 41 at the corresponding limiting protrusions 421.
[0026] Furthermore, an auxiliary sliding groove for sliding the slider 42 is provided on one side of the limiting cavity 36 within the U-shaped support frame 33, and a sliding groove 1 for sliding the insertion rod 41 is provided on both sides of the auxiliary sliding groove within the U-shaped support frame 33. An auxiliary slot for inserting the insertion rod 41 is provided on the other side of the limiting cavity 36 within the U-shaped support frame 33. A retrieval groove 6 is provided on one side of the U-shaped support frame 33 outside the sliding groove 1, allowing the user to hold the insertion rod 41. At the same time, a magnetic block (not shown in the figure) is fixedly embedded on the side of the insertion rod 41 away from the auxiliary sliding groove, and the magnetic block is a neodymium iron boron permanent magnet. A permanent magnet layer with the opposite polarity to the magnetic block is provided in the auxiliary slot.
[0027] Furthermore, a spring body 5 is sleeved inside the auxiliary slide groove outside the insertion rod 41, and the spring body 5 is located on the opposite side away from the limiting cavity 36.
