As shown in FIG. 4, the lower end of the moving rod 1 is provided with the first positioning opening 11 and the second positioning opening 12, the first positioning opening 11 and the second positioning opening 12 are symmetrically arranged, the first friction pad 6 is fixedly installed with the first installation block 13 located inside the first positioning opening 11, and the second friction pad 7 is fixedly installed with the second installation block 14 located inside the second positioning opening 12.


As shown in FIG. 4, the first block ring 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first friction pad 6, and the second block ring 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second friction pad 7, the inner diameters of the first block ring 15 and the second block ring 16 are the same as those of the moving rod 1, and the upper end surfaces of the first block ring 15 and the second block ring 16 are in contact with the ground of the moving rod 1.


As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom of the positioning rod 2 is internally threaded provided with the installation ring 17, and the upper end of the moving rod 1 is in the curved structure, the upper end of the moving rod 1 is threaded provided with the lamp ring 18, which is used for installing the lamp head, the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 are in the arc structure, and the outer side surfaces of the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 are in contact with the inner surface of the positioning rod 2, the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 are selected as rubber pads or materials with increasing friction, which could increase friction with the inner wall of the positioning rod 2 and achieve automatic positioning.


When assembling the components: firstly fix the installation ring 17 on the lamp holder, then sleeve the limiting cylinder 3 on the moving rod 1, at the same time, the limiting protrusion 5 is positioned within the limiting guide groove 4, so that the first installation block 13 is clamped within the first position opening 11, while the first block ring 15 is in contact with the bottom surface of the moving rod 1, the second installation block 14 is clamped within the second positioning opening 12, and the second block ring 16 is in contact with the bottom surface of the moving rod 1, at this point, the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 are firmly installed on the moving rod 1. Then, insert the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 into the positioning rod 2 and insert the lower end of the limiting cylinder 3 into the positioning rod 2. Pinch the corresponding clamping blocks 10 with two fingers, and when the two clamping blocks 10 are compressed, push the limiting cylinder 3 to slide continually into the positioning rod 2, at this point, the outer surfaces of the two clamping blocks 10 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the positioning rod 2, until the two clamping blocks 10 are connected to the corresponding positioning holes 9, and the fixed installation of the limiting cylinder 3 is completed.


When it is necessary to adjust the height of moving rod 1: firstly pull moving rod 1 up or down, the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 will slide freely against the inner wall of positioning rod 2. When moving rod 1 is not pulled, due to the large friction force between the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7, the gravity of moving rod 1 itself will not allow the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 to slide freely. In this way, the first friction pad 6 and the second friction pad 7 could be stopped at any position of the positioning rod 2, and the height of the moving rod 1 could be freely adjusted, making operation more convenient. With the limitation function of the limiting protrusion 5 on the limiting guide groove 4, the moving rod 1 could only slide up and down without free rotation, preventing the lamp from deviating from one side when subjected to external forces and avoiding the cases that affecting normal use.
