What class(pawn/actor/scene component/blueprint function library) should I use to connect blueprint poseable mesh in c ++? how to pass values to blueprint?please give me a simple code samples, step by step. thanks

Have you tried watching the C++ programming tutorial in the Unreal Engine videos tutorials section? All the answers to your questions had been already answered in this tutorial.
To answer your question, You should create a new C++ class and select your desired parent class to inherit from.
It seems that you would want a Character parent class. The following example code sets up FollowCamera and CameraBoom object and attaches them to the back of the Character. change the values as you wish:

TestCharacter.h

#pragma once

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"
#include "TestCharacter.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class DESTINTAIONUNKNOWN_API ATestCharacter : public ACharacter
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

	/** Camera boom */
	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Camera, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
	class USpringArmComponent* CameraBoom;

	/** Follow camera */
	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Camera, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
	class UCameraComponent* FollowCamera;

public:
	// Sets default values for this character's properties
	ATestCharacter();

	// Called when the game starts or when spawned
	virtual void BeginPlay() override;
	
	// Called every frame
	virtual void Tick( float DeltaSeconds ) override;

};

TestCharacter.cpp

#include "TestProject.h"
#include "TestCharacter.h"


// Sets default values
ATestCharacter::ATestCharacter()
{
 	// Set this character to call Tick() every frame.  You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
	PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
	
	/** Set capsule size for collision */
	GetCapsuleComponent()->InitCapsuleSize(20.0f, 20.0f);

	/** Create camera boom */
	CameraBoom = CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("CameraBoom"));
	CameraBoom->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
	CameraBoom->TargetArmLength = 100.0f;

	/** Create Follow camera and bind to camera boom */
	FollowCamera = CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FollowCamera"));
	FollowCamera->SetupAttachment(CameraBoom, USpringArmComponent::SocketName);
	FollowCamera->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;
}

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AStarshipCharacter::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();
	
}

// Called every frame
void AStarshipCharacter::Tick( float DeltaTime )
{
	Super::Tick( DeltaTime );
}

Hi,

extend your C++ class from ACharacter. Reparent your blueprint to this C++ class. Add UPROPERTIES / UFUNCTIONS to your C++ class. Route variables from / to Blueprints and C++.
