The shaft 511 is rotated by a certain angle, and the locking surface 515 of the control button 51 is disengaged from the latching portion 111 of the first body 10. The elastic restoring force of the elastic member 53 pushes the latching portion 111 to make the first body 10 opposite to the second body 30. Moving away from the limiting boss 35 on the second body 30 to a predetermined position, the elastic potential energy stored by the elastic member 53 is converted into the kinetic energy of the first body 10 sliding relative to the second body 30. Since the two ends of the pivot 511 are fixedly connected to the control button 51 and the second body 30, the pivot 511 is deformed and deformed when the control button 51 is rotated by a certain angle about the pivot 511.
