     The telephone wire  4  has one end fixed on the frame  2 , and another end rounding the roller A 5  and connected to the handset  3 . It should be noted that, as shown in  FIG. 2 , the telephone wire  4  may have one end fixed on a position Z on the frame  2 , and another end rounding the roller A 5  and being connected to the handset  3 . 
     The roller B 7  is fixed on the frame  2 . 
     The extension spring  8  has one end fixed on the frame  2  and another end rounding the roller B 7  and being connected to the slider  1 , which is configured to provide a restoring force for the slider  1  in the case that the slider  1  slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 . It should be noted that, as shown in  FIG. 2 , the extension spring  8  has one end fixed at a position Y on the frame  2  and another end rounding the roller B 7  and being connected at the position X on the slider  1 . 
     The frame  2  is provided with a rack-like groove  15 , and the rack-like groove  15  and the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  constitute a gear-rack-like structure. 
     The base  9  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  is fixed on the slider  1 , and in the case that the slider  1  slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 , the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  meshes and rolls in the rack-like groove  15  of the frame  2  to achieve a relative rotation between the base  9  and the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6 . 
     The swing piece  11 , the resilient sheet A 12  and the resilient sheet B 13  are fixed on the toothed component  10 . 
     It should be noted that, the toothed component  10  is provided with teeth on a rim thereof and the teeth mesh with the rack-like groove  15 ; 
     The swing piece  11  has a central shaft fixed on the toothed component  10 , and the swing piece  11  rotates on the toothed component  10  about the central shaft. 
     The swing piece  11  is provided with a position-limiting protrusion  17 . 
     The resilient sheet B 13  is provided with a position-limiting bump  18 . 
     The slider  1  cooperatively slides upwards or downwards in the guiding slot  14 . 
     The base  9  is provided with two L-shaped lug bosses  16 , and the two L-shaped lug bosses  16  are symmetrical about a central axis of the base  9 . 
     (1) The drawing and withdrawing functions of the telephone wire withdrawing device according to this embodiment is performed by the following process. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the slider  1  is fitted in the guiding slot  14  of the frame  2 , and the slider  1  is slidable upward or downward direction along the guiding slot  14  in the guiding slot  14  of the frame  2 . Particularly, when the user picks up the handset  3 , the slider  1  may slide upwardly, and when the user hangs up the handset  3 , the slider  1  may drive the telephone wire  4  to move downwardly under the action of the extension spring  8 . 
     (2) The function of achieving a fixed length of the telephone wire by the telephone wire withdrawing device according to this embodiment is performed by the following process. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , when the user picks up the handset  3 , the slider  1  may slide upwardly, and a length of the telephone wire  4  being drawn out may be increased. The toothed component  10  may drive the swing piece  11  to counterclockwise rotate about a center of rotation V under the action of the gear-rack-like structure. Reference is made in  FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 . In  FIG. 6 , the swing piece  11  is in a free state and is freely rotatable about a rotation center W. In the case that the toothed component  10  drives the swing piece  11  to counterclockwise rotate and reaches a state shown in  FIG. 7 , the L-shaped lug boss  16  of the base  9  may press down the swing piece  11 , the resilient sheet A 12  provides a supporting force for the swing piece  11 , and the limiting position protrusion of the swing piece  11  may be rotated to a position above the limiting position bump of the resilient sheet B 13 . When the swing piece  11  rotates counterclockwise and reaches a state shown in  FIG. 8 , the position-limiting protrusion  17  of the swing piece  11  may abut against the position-limiting bump  18  of the resilient sheet B 13  under the action of the supporting force of the resilient sheet A 12 . When the user continues to pull out the telephone wire  4 , the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  may repeat the states shown in  FIGS. 7 and 8  and may not be locked. When the handset  3  is released by the user, the telephone wire  4  may also be released, and the slider  1  may drive the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  to move downwardly under the restoring force of the extension spring  8 . Also, a length of the telephone wire  4  being pulled out may be shortened to some extent. In such a case, the toothed component  10  may drive the swing piece  11  to rotate clockwise under the action of the gear-rack-like structure. As shown in  FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 , in the case that the toothed component  10  drives the swing piece  11  to rotate clockwise, the swing piece  11  may contact with the L-shaped lug boss  16  of the base  9 , and reaches a state shown in  FIG. 11  under the action of a rotating force. In such case, the position-limiting bump  18  of the resilient sheet B 13  presses on the position-limiting protrusion  17  of the swing piece  11  and provides a supporting force for the swing piece  11 , thus preventing the swing piece  11  from continuing to rotate clockwise and accordingly preventing the resilient sheet B 13 , the resilient sheet A 12  and the toothed component  10  from rotating clockwise, and the swing piece  11  and the toothed component  10  are in a clockwise self-locking state. At this moment, the slider  1  may be fixed at a certain position in the guiding slot  14  of the frame  2  under a combined action of the extension spring  8  and the self-locking state of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6 . In this case, the telephone wire  4  at the handset end may have a certain fixed length to allow the user to freely move during calls, thus providing a better calling experience for the user. 
     (3) The function of automatic withdrawing of the telephone wire by the telephone wire withdrawing device according to this embodiment is specifically performed by the following process. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , after the user finishes the call, the user may slightly pull the telephone wire  4  upwardly to straighten the telephone wire  4  and bring the slider  1  to move upwardly by a short distance. Then, the toothed component  10  may drive the swing piece  11  to rotate counterclockwise under the action of the gear-rack-like structure. As shown in  FIG. 12 , when the mechanism reaches a state shown in  FIG. 12 , the position-limiting bump  18  of the resilient sheet B 13  is pressed on the position-limiting protrusion  17  of the swing piece  11  to provide a force for rotating the swing piece  11  counterclockwise, and the swing piece  11  may rotate counterclockwise by a certain degree under the force provided by the resilient sheet B 13  and then rotates to a state shown in  FIG. 13 . At this moment, if the user hangs up the handset  3 , the slider  1  may drive the telephone wire  4  to move downwardly under the action of the extension spring  8 , and the toothed component  10  may drive the swing piece  11  to rotate clockwise under the action of the gear-rack-like structure. As shown in  FIG. 14 , the L-shaped lug boss  16  of the base  2 , and the swing piece  11  may not limit the downward movement of the slider  1 , thus achieving the automatic withdrawing function of the telephone wire. 
     In this embodiment, a telephone wire withdrawing device includes a slider  1 , a frame  2 , a handset  3 , a telephone wire  4 , a roller A 5 , a rotary self-locking mechanism  6 , a roller B 7  and an extension spring  8 . The rotary self-locking mechanism includes a base  9 , a toothed component  10 , a swing piece  11 , a resilient sheet A 12 , and a resilient sheet B 13 . The slider  1  is fitted in the guiding slot  14  of the frame  2 , and slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 . The roller A 5  is fixed on the slider  1 . The telephone wire  4  has one end fixed on the frame  2 , and another end rounding the roller A 5  and connected in the handset  3 . The roller B 7  is fixed on the frame  2 . The extension spring  8  has one end fixed on the frame  2 , and has another end rounding the roller B 7  and connected on the slider  1  to provide a restoring force for the slider  1  in the case that the slider  1  slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 . The frame  2  is provided with a rack-like groove  15 , and the rack-like groove  15  and the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  constitute a gear-rack-like structure. The base  9  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  is fixed on the slider  1 , and in the case that the slider  1  slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 , the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  meshes and rolls in the rack-like groove  15  of the frame  2  to realize a relative rotation between the base  9  and the toothed component  10  of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6 . The swing piece  11 , the resilient sheet A 12  and the resilient sheet B 13  are fixed on the toothed component  10 . The base  9  is provided with at least one L-shaped lug boss  16 . In this embodiment, the telephone wire  4  connected to the handset  3  may slide in the guiding slot  14  of the frame  2  via the roller A 5  and the slider  1  to realize the pulling function of the telephone wire, and with a restoring force for the slider  1  provided by the extension spring  8 , the withdrawing function of the telephone wire may be achieved. Furthermore, since when the slider  1  slides cooperatively in the guiding slot  14 , the toothed component  10  meshes and rolls in the rack-like groove  15  of the frame  2 , the operations during drawing and withdrawing of the telephone wire  4  are smooth, thus improving the user experience. In addition, since it is unnecessary to use an electric brush, the call distortion caused by the electric brush is avoided. Moreover, a telephone wire withdrawing device according to this embodiment realizes the function of achieving a fixed length of the telephone wire and the function of automatic withdrawing of the telephone wire, thereby providing a better user experience. 
     A telephone wire withdrawing device according to this embodiment has the advantages of a simple structure, an easy maintenance, a high reliability, a simple operation, a safety design and a low cost. The telephone wire have a variable fixed length and can realize the automatic withdrawing function, thus is very suitable to apply to a calling device in the public place with a harsh service environment. 
     For ease of understanding, a telephone wire withdrawing device according to an embodiment of the present application used in a practical application scenario is described hereinafter according to the embodiments shown in  FIGS. 1 to 14 . 
     A: When a user picks up the handset  3 , the slider  1  may slide upwardly, and a length of the telephone wire  4  being pulled out may be increased. 
     B: When the user pulls out the handset  3  by an appropriate length, the user stops pulling out the telephone wire  4 , at this moment under the action of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6 , this appropriate length of the telephone wire  4  is maintained, and the telephone wire is brought into a locking state, thus the telephone wire  4  cannot be withdrawn any more. 
     C: When the user makes a call via the handset  3  and needs to withdraw the telephone wire  4  after ending the call, the user holds the handset  3  and pulls out the telephone wire  4  by a short distance, then the user moves handset  3  in the withdrawing direction, at this moment, the locking state of the rotary self-locking mechanism  6  is released. 
     D: After the locking state is released, the user continues to move the handset  3  in the withdrawing direction, and the telephone wire  4  is gradually withdrawn until the telephone wire  4  is withdrawn to an initial length. Then, the user hangs up the handset  3  and the calling process finishes.
