In this way, when the rotating piece rotates, the reflection part and the transmission part are controlled to alternately pass through the position between the emitting piece and the receiving piece, so that the alternating change form of 'cut-off, conduction and cut-off … …' is controlled to be formed between the emitting piece and the receiving piece, and the receiving piece is triggered to continuously output signals, so that the continuous adjustment of the output power is realized.
