A gas control gate 5 8 is connected to the high-pressure gas 510037 respectively. 5. Description of the invention ( 6) Pressure source 46 and gas line 56 are used to control the input and exhaust of gas in the pneumatic cylinder 48 And an electronic feedback control unit 60 connected to the gas control gate 58 is used to switch the gas control gate 58 at a fixed period to periodically change the direction of gas input and exhaust in the pneumatic cylinder 48 The electronic feedback control unit is provided at the ends of both sides of the pneumatic cylinder 4 8 so that the sensor 6 2 and the gas control gate 5 8 are connected. When the piston 50 is used as the brush head of the brush handle 2 6 according to the cycle Modules 2 and 8 are moved. When the gas control gate 5 8 moves the gas in the high pressure gas, the high pressure gas will move in the direction pushed. When the piston 50 moves to 62, a corresponding signal is generated, and 64 is based on the direction of the incoming and outgoing gas from the sensor 62. At this time, when the piston 50 which is input into the air chamber 52 and discharged from the air chamber 54 is moved to the end of the pneumatic cylinder 48 to the end of the pneumatic cylinder 48, the sensor 22 changes the gas control gate 58 to describe the steps, and drives The device 30 can move the conductor wafer 20 in the radial direction and please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a diagram of a binary element 60. It includes two sensors 6 2 and a switching unit 6 4 respectively. When the chamber 52 and the piston 50 move cyclically, the piston 50 will drive the complex movement.
