It should be noted that the diameter of the driving motor 511 is not limited to this, for example: the diameter of the driving motor is more than 4.8 and less than 5.2 millimeters.

The driving gear 512 is mounted on the output shaft 5111 and can rotate along with the rotation of the output shaft 5111.

Wherein the first transmission gear 513 is engaged with the driving gear 512. In some embodiments, the first transmission gear 513 may be directly engaged with the driving gear 512, and the driving gear 512 directly drives the first transmission gear 513 to rotate. It should be noted that the first transmission gear 513 may also be engaged with the driving gear 512 via a worm. Specifically, for example, the first transmission gear 513 is fixedly connected to a worm, and the worm is engaged with the driving gear 512. In some embodiments, the first drive gear 513 has a diameter that is greater than the diameter of the drive gear 512. In some embodiments, the first drive gear 513 may have a diameter of 2 millimeters. It should be noted that the diameter of the first transmission gear 513 is not limited to this, for example: the diameter of the first transmission gear is more than 1.8 mm and less than 2.2 mm. The driving gear 512 has a small diameter so as to be easily mounted on an output shaft of the driving motor 511, and also to be directly driven by the driving motor 511.

It should be noted that the diameter of the driven gear 515 is not limited to this, such as: the diameter of the driving motor is more than 4.8 and less than 5.2 millimeters.

Wherein the drive plate 516 is meshed with the driven gear 515. In some embodiments, the driving plate 516 has a rack 5161, the rack 5161 is formed on one side of the driving plate 516, the driven gear 515 can be engaged with the rack 5161, and the rack 5161 can be directly driven by the driven gear 515 during rotation to enable the driving plate 516 to move.
