The first rotating device 16 utilizes the mechanical characteristics of the rotating shaft 30 to drive the rotation of the receiving portion 26 relative to the frame 24, and changes the orientation of the external implement on the receiving portion 26 to facilitate the connection and assembly of the other external tool from a suitable angle. It can be seen that the axial direction of the rotating shaft 30 is the same as the first axial direction D1. Furthermore, the second rotating device 18 can optionally have a turntable 32 that connects the frame body 24 and is movably disposed on the base 12. The second rotating device 18 utilizes the mechanical characteristics of the turntable 32 to enable the traction frame 24 to be rotated in place, that is, to drive the fixing device 14 to rotate along the second axial direction D2; therefore, the plane normal vector of the turntable 32 is the same as the second axial direction D2. .
