The guide block 11d and the chute 12c are matched, so that on one hand, the wedge block 12 can be positioned quickly, the wedge block 12 can reach a preset position after being wedged, manual adjustment for multiple times is not needed, and on the other hand, the first connecting hole 11f is aligned with the second connecting hole 12d after the wedge block 12 is wedged by the guide block 11d and the chute 12c, and the position of the wedge block 12 is not needed to be adjusted again; on the other hand, the cooperation of the guide block 11d and the slide groove 12c can play a limiting role on the wedge block 12, so that the wedge block 12 can only move in the wedging or withdrawing direction of the first wedge surface 11c and cannot swing in the transverse direction.

After the first devices 2 of different types are placed in the accommodating groove 11a, the side surfaces of the first devices 2 are different from the specific first wedge surfaces 11c, when the wedges 12 are wedged, the depths of the wedges 12 wedged in the mounting groove 11b are different, and the alignment positions of the first connecting holes 11f and the second connecting holes 12d are also different. For this reason, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 4 and 9, the second connecting hole 12d is a kidney-shaped hole, and the kidney-shaped hole extends along the direction in which the wedge 12 pushes the first device 2, so that the second connecting hole 12d can be aligned with the first connecting hole 11f regardless of the wedging depth of the wedge 12, so that the fastening bolt 17 can penetrate into the second connecting hole 12d and the first connecting hole 11f in sequence, and the base mechanism 1 can adapt to different types of first devices 2.

The number of the guide blocks 11d is not limited, and may be one or a plurality. The number of the slide grooves 12c may be one or a plurality.

In some embodiments, the guide blocks 11d are all disposed on the first wedge surface 11c, and the sliding grooves 12c are all disposed on the second wedge surface 12a; in other embodiments, the guide blocks 11d are disposed on the second wedge surface 12a, and the sliding grooves 12c are disposed on the first wedge surface 11c; in still other embodiments, the first wedge surface 11c is provided with both the guide block 11d and the slide groove 12c, and the second wedge surface 12a is also provided with both the guide block 11d and the slide groove 12c, and the guide block 11d on the first wedge surface 11c is engaged with the slide groove 12c on the second wedge surface 12a, and the slide groove 12c on the first wedge surface 11c is engaged with the guide block 11d on the second wedge surface 12 a.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the first device 2 is configured with a plurality of feet 21, and the first device 2 is supported on the base assembly 11 by the plurality of feet 21. With continued reference to fig. 8, the foot 21 includes a leg 211 and a flange 212 protruding from the bottom circumference of the leg 211; that is, in a planar projection perpendicular to the height direction of the leg 211, the contour dimension of the flange 212 is larger than that of the leg 211, and the flange 212 can increase the support area of the foot 21.

It will be appreciated that the legs 211 and the flanges 212 may be integrally formed or may be integrally formed and fixedly coupled together, without limitation.

When the first device 2 is placed in the accommodating groove 11a, the foot 21 of the first device 2 is supported on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 11a, and since the foot 21 has a certain height, in order to facilitate the abutting surface 12b of the wedge block 12 to abut on the housing of the first device 2 above the foot 21, in an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 8, the bottom wall 11b 'of the mounting groove 11b is higher than the bottom wall 11a' of the accommodating groove 11a, and the abutting surface 12b of the wedge block 12 can abut on the housing of the first device 2 more reliably under the condition that the wedge block 12 has the same size; in addition, the fastening bolt 17 is screwed into the structure below the bottom wall 11b ' of the mounting groove 11b after passing through the wedge 12, and the height difference between the bottom wall 11b ' of the mounting groove 11b and the bottom wall 11a ' of the accommodating groove 11a provides a mounting space for the fastening bolt 17, so that the end part of the fastening bolt 17 is prevented from penetrating out of the bottom end face of the seat body assembly 11.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the top of the wedge 12 does not exceed the top of the seat assembly 11, that is, the top of the wedge 12 does not protrude from the top of the seat assembly 11, so as to avoid affecting the appearance of the base unit 1.

The number of wedges 12 is not limited, and may be one or a plurality. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of wedges 12 is one, and the wedges 12 extend in the lateral direction, so as to increase the contact area between the abutment surface 12b and the housing of the first apparatus 2 as much as possible, and at the same time, the number of wedges 12 can be reduced, so that the installation operation procedure is saved.

During the process that the wedge 12 presses the first device 2, the wedge 12 applies a force to the first device 2, and the seat assembly 11 abuts against the first device 2 to provide a reaction force, and the force and the reaction force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. It will be appreciated that the housing assembly 11 may abut any suitable portion of the first device 2 to create the reaction force described above.

For example, referring to fig. 6, in one embodiment, the base unit 1 is provided with a limiting groove 1120 located in the accommodating groove 11a, and one side of the limiting groove 1120 is opened, so that the foot 21 can enter the limiting groove 1120 from the opening and be abutted in the limiting groove 1120. That is, in this embodiment, the seat assembly 11 forms the reaction force described above by the inner wall of the limit groove 1120 abutting against the foot 21 of the first device 2. In this way, the housing of the first device 2 does not abut against the seat assembly 11, for example, the housing of the first device 2 may be kept at a certain interval from the inner wall of the accommodating groove 11a, so as to reduce the possibility of scraping the housing of the first device 2.

The extending direction and the opening position of the limit groove 1120 are not limited as long as the foot 21 can be easily engaged with the foot 21. In an embodiment, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the limiting groove 1120 extends along the direction in which the wedge 12 pushes the first device 2, and the limiting groove 1120 is opened toward one side of the wedge 12, so that the operation is facilitated and the space is saved. Specifically, after the first device 2 is placed on the base assembly 11, the first device 2 is pushed in a direction away from the first wedge surface 11c until the foot 21 is pushed into the limit groove 1120 from the open position, one side of the foot 21 abuts against the inner wall of the limit groove 1120, then the wedge block 12 is wedged, and the wedge block 12 presses and pushes the first device 2 in the same direction until the first device 2 is wedged tightly. In the process, an operator can stand on the same side of the first device 2 to push the first device 2 and wedge the wedge block 12, and the operator can push the first device 2 forwards conveniently, so that the operator can apply force conveniently; furthermore, the accommodating groove 11a needs to reserve an extra space along the moving direction of the first device 2 so that the wedge 12 pushes the first device 2, so that the limiting groove 1120 extends along the direction of pushing the first device 2, and the size of the accommodating groove 11a is not increased additionally, so that the distance between two opposite sides of the accommodating groove 11a along the transverse direction of the first device 2 and the side surface of the first device 2 can be made smaller, and therefore, the size of the seat body assembly 11 along the transverse direction can be reduced, which is beneficial to compact structure of the seat body assembly 11.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 7, a reduced opening 1120' is formed at the top of the limiting groove 1120 to lock a portion of the structure of the foot 21 in the limiting groove 1120 under the reduced opening 1120', for example, locking the flange 212 in the limiting groove 1120 under the reduced opening 1120'. When the foot 21 shakes, the restriction of the foot 21 at the shrinkage port 1120' does not disengage from the limit groove 1120 from above the limit groove 1120, increasing the connection reliability of the first device 2 and the housing assembly 11.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 7, along the extending direction of the limiting groove 1120, the limiting groove 1120 includes a guiding section 11201 and a locking section 11202, the lateral dimension of the guiding section 11201 is larger than that of the locking section 11202, and the guiding section 11201 guides the sliding of the foot 21, so that the foot 21 can quickly enter the guiding section 11202. The foot 21 abuts at the extended end of the locking section 11202. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the top portion corresponding to the locking section 11202 is shrunk to form the above-mentioned shrinkage port 1120'.

The specific structural form of the seat assembly 11 is not limited. In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the seat assembly 11 includes a seat body 111, the seat body 111 includes a base plate 1111 and a shroud 1112 surrounding an edge of the base plate 1111, the first device 2 is supported on the base plate 1111, the base plate 1111 and the shroud 1112 together define a receiving slot 11a and a mounting slot 11b, that is, the receiving slot 11a and the mounting slot 11b are both in an area surrounded by the shroud 1112, and a first wedge surface 11c is provided on an inner wall of the shroud 1112. In the process of placing the first device 2 into the accommodating groove 11a, the coaming 1112 plays a guiding role on the first device 2, so that after the first device 2 is placed into the accommodating groove 11a, the bottom feet 21 of the first device 2 are aligned with the opening of the limiting groove 1120, and thus the alignment operation of the first device 2 can be reduced, and the labor intensity of operators is reduced.

The seat body 111 may also be an integrally formed structure, such as integrally injection molded. That is, the base plate 1111 and the coaming 1112 are integrally formed, so that the structural strength and the structural reliability of the seat body 111 can be improved, the number of parts can be reduced, and the assembly is facilitated.

It should be noted that the specific shape of the base plate 1111 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the shape of the base plate 1111 is approximately similar to the outline shape of the bottom end of the first apparatus 2, so that the seat assembly 11 is compact.

Referring to fig. 7, a protruding rib 1121 protruding toward the limiting groove 1120 is provided on the top inner wall of the limiting groove 1120, a shrinkage port 1120 'is formed around the end of the protruding rib 1121, referring to fig. 8, the supporting leg 211 is inserted into the shrinkage port 1120', the flange 212 is located between the protruding rib 1121 and the bottom plate 1111, and when the foot 21 shakes, the bottom side of the protruding rib 1121 is in stop contact with the flange 212 to limit the flange 212 between the protruding rib 1121 and the bottom plate 1111.

It should be noted that the protruding degree of the clamping block 112 from the bottom plate 1111 may be determined according to the height of the flange 212 of the foot 21, and the thickness of the clamping block 112 may be reduced as much as possible in the case of being able to accommodate the flange 212.

In an embodiment, the base unit 1 is used to stack the first device 2 on top of the second device 3, i.e. the first device 2 is fixedly placed on top of the second device 3 by the base unit 1. Specifically, the base unit 1 includes at least two clamping members 14 disposed on two laterally opposite sides of the base assembly 11, the at least two clamping members 14 are used for clamping on two laterally opposite sides of the top end of the second device 3, after the clamping members 14 clamp the second device 3, there is no relative movement between the base unit 1 and the second device 3, and there is no relative movement between the first device 2 and the base unit 1 and between the base unit 1 and the base unit 1, so the base unit 1 is fixedly connected with the first device 2 and the second device 3 at the same time, so that there is no relative movement between the first device 2 and the second device 3, that is, the first device 2 may be fixedly placed on the top end of the second device 3.

In order to form the clamping force, the transverse plate 141 needs to be fixed after the adjustment is completed, so as to prevent the transverse plate 141 from loosening, and ensure the clamping force of the clamping member 14 on the second device 3.

In order to facilitate the reliable sliding of the traverse 141 in the above-mentioned gap and prevent the traverse 141 from laterally deflecting, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 9, at least one of the top surface of the clamping plate 13 and the bottom surface of the base unit 1 is provided with a projection 1111c, the traverse 141 is provided with a guide groove 141a, the guide groove 141a extends in the sliding direction of the traverse 141, and the projection 1111c extends into the guide groove 141 a. When the clamping distance needs to be adjusted, the fixing measure of the transverse plate 141 is released, the transverse plate 141 is pushed and pulled, the protrusion 1111c and the guide groove 141a slide relatively, the protrusion 1111c plays a guiding role on the movement of the transverse plate 141, and after the transverse plate 141 moves in place, the transverse plate 141 is fixed.

Illustratively, in one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9, the projection 1111c is disposed at the bottom of the base unit 1, specifically, at the bottom of the base plate 1111. The bottom of the base unit 1 is provided with a concave region 1111b, and a protrusion 1111c is provided in the concave region 1111b, so that the degree of protrusion of the protrusion 1111c with respect to the non-concave region of the base unit 1 can be reduced. The cross plate 141 is also located in the concave region 1111b, the bottom surface of the cross plate 141 does not exceed the bottom surface of the non-concave region of the base mechanism 1, and the protrusions 1111c do not protrude from the bottom surface of the cross plate 141, so that the clamping plate 13 is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the base mechanism 1, and a large clamping force is not formed on the cross plate 141 or no clamping force is formed on the cross plate 141 at all, so that the sliding resistance of the cross plate 141 in the process of adjusting the clamping distance can be reduced.

The base unit 1 is required to support the weight of the first device 2, and thus the wall thickness of the base unit 1 is designed to be relatively thick, so that the recess 1111b can be formed on the base unit 1, and the clamping plate 13 can be a common thin plate.

The number of the protrusions 1111c and the guide grooves 141a is not limited, and may be one or more. Illustratively, in one embodiment of the present application, the number of the guide grooves 141a is plural, and the plurality of guide grooves 141a are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the transverse plate 141, so that each portion of the transverse plate 141 along the length direction does not deflect during the translation process.

When the clamping distance needs to be adjusted, the locking nut 153 is unscrewed, the hanging rod 151 is released, and after the transverse plate 141 moves in place, the locking nut 153 is locked again. The locking assembly 15 of this embodiment can accommodate displacement of the cross plate 141 such that the cross plate 141 can be locked when the cross plate 141 is slid to any position.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the connection base 152 includes a fixed plate 1521, a rotating shaft 1522 and a rotating handle 1523, the rotating handle 1523 has a holding end and a driving end, the holding end is held by an operator, the driving end is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 1521, and the driving end is provided with a cam surface 1523a, and during rotation of the rotating handle 1523, the cam surface 1523a contacts the top surface of the fixed plate 1521. The rotating handle 1523 is provided with a through hole penetrating the rotating handle 1523 in a direction parallel to the rotation center line, the rotating shaft 1522 is rotatably penetrating the through hole, and the through hole is disposed on the rotating shaft 1522.

The cam surface 1523a is configured to: when the rotating handle 1523 is rotated toward the bottom wall of the accommodation groove 11a, the pretightening force between the cam surface 1523a and the surface of the fixed plate 1521 increases, and when the rotating handle 1523 is rotated in the opposite direction, the pretightening force between the driving end and the surface of the fixed plate 1521 decreases.

Specifically, in the normal use state, the extending direction of the rotating handle 1523 is substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 11a, and at this time, the protruding degree of the rotating handle 1523 protruding from the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 11a is small, so that the rotating handle 1523 is prevented from interfering with the main body portion of the first apparatus 2.

After the transverse plate 141 is moved, the effective length of the hanging rod 151 is adjusted to a proper length, the locking nut 153 is locked, the rotating handle 1523 is rotated, the distance from the connecting point of the hanging rod 151 and the rotating shaft 1522 to the hook 16 is gradually increased in the rotating process of the rotating handle 1523, the hanging rod 151 bears tensile stress, so that the hanging rod 151 is reliably locked on the hook 16, and meanwhile, the rotating handle 1523 is fixed at the current position due to friction between the cam surface 1523a and the surface of the fixed plate 1521. Thus, the locking of the cross plate 141 can be achieved.
