Further, the first aligning member 12 is formed as a guide sleeve, and the second aligning member 22 is formed as a positioning pin whose end fitted with the guide sleeve is formed with a guide surface having a gradually decreasing diameter.
Alternatively, the one end of the positioning pin may be formed in a tapered shape, a frustum shape, or a spherical crown shape. It should be noted that the above shapes are merely examples, and the shape of the one end of the positioning pin is not limited, and in actual operation, the one end of the positioning pin may be formed in other shapes, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, the positioning pin is disposed on the second member 21 through a stopper 23, wherein the positioning pin is slidably disposed in the stopper 23 up and down.
Specifically, the guide sleeve may be fixedly mounted on the first component 11, the position of the guide sleeve corresponds to the position of the positioning pin, the positioning pin may be inserted into the guide sleeve to achieve alignment during operation, and the guide surface may be arranged to guide the guide sleeve to achieve alignment better.
