Refer to Fig. 2, stretchable resistance chain 110 is in chain form, and the composition closed-loop that joins end to end is set in described animal
Mouth root.Wherein, stretchable resistance chain 110 includes multiple stretchable unit 111 being sequentially connected with.
Refer to Fig. 3, each stretchable unit 111 includes: first Magnet the 112, second Magnet 113, baffle ring 114, resistance
115 and conducting sleeve 116.Resistance 115 is arranged on conducting sleeve 116, and opening is offered at conducting sleeve 116 two ends, described in lead
One end of electricity sleeve 116 is located on the first Magnet 112 by opening sleeve, and the other end is located on the second Magnet 113 by opening sleeve.
The two ends of the first Magnet 112 and the second Magnet 113 sheathed baffle ring 114 respectively.Baffle ring 114 can be by non magnetic material
Material is made, and the size of baffle ring 114 is more than the size of described opening.Away from the baffle ring of the second Magnet 113 on first Magnet 112
114 are arranged on outside conducting sleeve 116, and on the second Magnet 113, the baffle ring 114 away from the first Magnet 112 is also disposed at conducting sleeve
Outside 116, thus prevent the first Magnet 112 and the second Magnet 113 from departing from conducting sleeve 116 in external force drawing process.
Conducting sleeve 116 is made of an electrically conducting material, thus realizes conducting function.It is said that in general, common conductive material has
Metal, quasiconductor etc..In the present embodiment, preferably conducting sleeve 116 is made up of metal material.Refer to Fig. 4, real as one
