In this embodiment, the top end of the first device 3 is clamped between at least one pair of clamping members 14, so that when the locking assembly 15 is in the locked state, the first device 3 and the base unit 1 are fixedly connected together, and no special connecting structure is required for the first device 3, so that the base unit 1 is conveniently attached to the existing first device 3; the second device 2 is placed on the seat assembly 11, so that the indoor space occupied by the second device 2 when placed on the ground alone can be saved, and it is understood that the matching relationship between the base device 1 and the second device 2 can be selected according to actual use requirements. In addition, the clamping piece 14 can rapidly clamp the first equipment 3, even if the first equipment 3 vibrates or shakes in the working process, the clamping piece 14 is not easy to loose, and the connection reliability between the base device 1 and the first equipment 3 is ensured; furthermore, the clamping distance can be adjusted so that the base device 1 can be adapted to different models of first apparatuses 3, i.e. the second apparatus 2 can be attached to different first apparatuses 3.

In one embodiment, the top side of the seat assembly 11 further has a bearing surface 11a for supporting the second device 2, i.e. the second device 2 is placed on the bearing surface 11 a. The second device 2 is placed on the bearing surface 11a, so that the indoor space occupied by the second device 2 when placed on the ground alone can be saved, and it is understood that the matching relationship between the base device 1 and the second device 2 can be selected according to actual use requirements.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the base assembly 11 includes a base 111, and a top surface of the base 111 is a bearing surface 11a, that is, the second device 2 is supported on the base 111, and the base 111 bears the weight of the second device 2.

In one embodiment, the locking component 15 is disposed on the top side of the bottom plate 111, the base device 1 includes a connecting portion fixed on the clamping member 14, at least a portion of the connecting portion protrudes from the top surface of the bottom plate 111, and the clamping member 14 is connected to the locking component 15 through the connecting portion. When the seat assembly 11 is placed on the top end of the first device 3, the locking assembly 15 can be operated from above the seat assembly 11, and meanwhile, more accommodating space is also provided above the seat assembly 11, so that the size of the seat device 1 cannot be increased by the locking assembly 15.

In some embodiments, the connecting portion and the clamping member 14 may be integrally formed, and in other embodiments, the connecting portion and the clamping member 14 are formed as a separate structure and fixedly connected together, for example, by a screw.

It will be appreciated that in order to provide the clamping member 14 with greater structural strength to be able to withstand greater clamping forces, in some embodiments the clamping member 14 is a metal member. The connecting part can be a metal piece or a plastic piece.

The specific structural shape of the connection portion is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the connection portion is a hook 16, that is, the connection relationship between the connection portion and the locking assembly 15 is a hanging connection.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the locking assembly 15 includes a hanging rod 151, a connecting seat 152, and an adjusting nut 153, wherein the connecting seat 152 is connected with the bottom plate 111, a first end of the hanging rod 151 is connected with the hook 16, a second end of the hanging rod 151 is provided with external threads, the connecting seat 152 is provided with a receiving hole 152a, the second end of the hanging rod 151 is slidably inserted into the receiving hole 152a, and the adjusting nut 153 cooperates with threads on the hanging rod 151 to lock the hanging rod 151 on the connecting seat 152. By the cooperation of the adjustment nut 153 and the hanging rod 151, the effective length of the hanging rod 151 can be adjusted, and the clamping member 14 can still be fixed on the seat assembly 11 after the clamping member 14 is adjusted in position. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the clamping distance of the clamping member 14, the adjusting nut 153 is loosened, the hanging rod 151 is slid to an appropriate distance in the receiving hole 152a, and then the adjusting nut 153 is locked.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the adjusting nut 153 is screwed by a wrench or the like until the hanging rod 151 is pulled to the hook 16, so that the clamping member 14 clamps the first device 3, at this time, the locking assembly 15 is in a locked state, and the hanging rod 151 is not separated from the hook 16.

With continued reference to fig. 5, the connection base 152 includes a fixed plate 1521 and a rotating handle 1523, wherein the fixed plate 1521 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 111, the second end of the hanging rod 151 is connected to the rotating handle 1523, and one end of the rotating handle 1523 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 1521, i.e. the rotating handle 1523 has a rotation center line; the turning handle 1523 moves the hitching bar 151 during turning to drive the hitching bar 151 to selectively release the hitching hook 16 or lock the hitching hook 16. In this embodiment, the locking or releasing of the hanging rod 151 and the hook 16 is achieved by rotating the handle 1523, that is, the hanging rod 151 and the hook 16 are not required to be locked by tightening the adjusting nut 153, and special tools such as a wrench are not required, so that the workload of the user is reduced.

It should be noted that the second ends of the turning handle 1523 and the hanging rod 151 may be fixedly connected or rotatably connected.

The specific structure of the receiving hole 152a is not limited as long as the hanging rod 151 can pass through and can support and position the hanging rod.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the locking assembly 15 includes a first shaft 1522, the rotating handle 1523 has a through hole 1523d passing through the rotating handle 1523, and the first shaft 1522 is rotatably disposed through the through hole 1523d, specifically, the axis of the first shaft 1522 is parallel to the rotation center line of the rotating handle 1523. The receiving hole 152a penetrates the first shaft 1522 in the radial direction of the first shaft 1522, that is, the second end of the hitching rod 151 penetrates the first shaft 1522 in the radial direction of the first shaft 1522, and the adjusting nut 153 abuts against the circumferential surface of the first shaft 1522.

Because the first end of the hanging rod 151 is abutted with the hook 16, the hanging rod 151 forces the first rotating shaft 1522 to rotate in the through hole 1523d in the rotating process of the rotating handle 1523, so that the hanging rod 151 and the rotating handle 1523 relatively rotate, the bending moment applied to the hanging rod 151 by the rotating handle 1523 and the hook 16 is avoided or reduced, and the risk of breakage of the hanging rod 151 due to the shearing force is reduced; furthermore, the operation flexibility of the hanging rod 151 can be improved, and the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the rotation center line of the rotation handle 1523 is simplified to be point O, and in the locked state, the hanging rod 151 applies a resisting moment W1 to the rotation handle 1523, specifically, the hanging rod 151 applies a force F to the rotation handle 1523, and the force F forms a moment W1 around the point O. It should be noted that the resisting moment refers to a moment applied to the turning handle 1523 in a first direction when the external force drives the turning handle 1523 to switch from the locked state to the released state, and is defined as a driving moment, and the resisting moment is opposite to the driving moment, that is, the hanging rod 151 applies a moment to the turning handle 1523 in a second direction, where the first direction is opposite to the second direction, specifically, the first direction is a counterclockwise direction in fig. 6, and the second direction is a clockwise direction in fig. 6.

The resisting moment has the effect of preventing the turning handle 1523 from being switched from the locked state to the released state, and therefore, in the locked state, the handle can be stably in the current locked state without any special locking structure due to the resisting moment without any external force.

In an embodiment, please continue to refer to fig. 5, the end of the rotating handle 1523 has a cambered surface 1523a and a locking plane 1523b sequentially connected along the rotating direction, in the released state, the cambered surface 1523a contacts with the surface of the fixed plate 1521, so that the user can conveniently operate the rotating handle 1523, the rotating handle 1523 can smoothly rotate along the forward and backward directions within a certain rotating range, in the locked state, the locking plane 1523b contacts with the surface of the fixed plate 1521, and the rotating handle 1523 has a larger contact area with the fixed plate 1521, so that the rotating handle 1523 cannot shake in the locked state, and the locking stability of the rotating handle 1523 can be improved.

In an embodiment, please continue to refer to fig. 5, the base device 1 includes a pin, a rib plate 15211 is disposed on the surface of the fixed plate 1521, a notch 1523c is disposed on the driving end of the rotating handle 1523, the rib plate 15211 is snapped into the notch 1523c, and the pin penetrates through the rib plate 15211 and the driving end of the rotating handle 1523 to rotationally connect the rib plate 15211 and the rotating handle 1523. In this way, the turning handle 1523 can be prevented from being deflected during the turning process, so that the turning process of the turning handle 1523 is more stable.

The specific shape of the hooking rod 151 is not limited as long as one end thereof can be hooked to the hook 16 and the other end thereof can be connected with the adjusting nut 153. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the hanging rod 151 has a U shape, one side of the opening of the U-shaped hanging rod 151 is connected with the adjusting nut 153, and the bent portion of the U-shaped hanging rod 151 is hung on the hook 16.

It will be appreciated that to prevent the adjustment nut 153 from loosening, the adjustment nut 153 may employ a locknut.

In some embodiments, a portion of the clip 14 may extend from one side of the side edge of the base plate 111 to above the base plate 111 to connect with the connection.

The specific structural shape of the clamping member 14 is not limited, and may be, for example, a claw shape. In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the clamping member 14 includes a cross plate 141 and a vertical plate 142 connected to each other, and the seat assembly 11 includes a clamping plate 115, where the clamping plate 115 is disposed on the bottom side of the bottom plate 111 and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 111, for example, by a screw connection. The transverse plate 141 is clamped between the top side of the clamping plate 115 and the bottom side of the bottom plate 111, and the distance between the two vertical plates 142 of the pair of clamping members 14 is the clamping distance. That is, a gap is formed between the top side of the clamping plate 115 and the bottom side of the bottom plate 111, and the transverse plate 141 is disposed in the gap, and the clamping distance between the two vertical plates 142 can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the transverse plate 141 extending into the gap.

In order to facilitate the reliable sliding of the traverse plate 141 in the above-mentioned gap and prevent the traverse plate 141 from laterally deflecting, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, at least one of the top surface of the clamping plate 115 and the bottom surface of the bottom plate 111 is provided with a protrusion 111c, the traverse plate 141 is provided with a guide groove 141a, the guide groove 141a extends in the sliding direction of the traverse plate 141, and the protrusion 111c extends into the guide groove 141 a. When the clamping distance needs to be adjusted, the locking assembly 15 is placed in a release state, the transverse plate 141 is pushed and pulled, the protrusion 111c and the guide groove 141a slide relatively, the protrusion 111c plays a role in guiding the movement of the transverse plate 141, and after the transverse plate 141 moves in place, the transverse plate 141 is fixed.

For example, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the protrusion 111c is disposed at the bottom of the bottom plate 111, specifically, at the bottom of the bottom plate 111. The bottom of the bottom plate 111 is provided with a concave region 111b, and the protrusion 111c is provided in the concave region 111b, so that the degree of protrusion of the protrusion 111c with respect to the non-concave region of the bottom plate 111 can be reduced. The cross plate 141 is also located in the concave region 111b, the bottom surface of the cross plate 141 does not exceed the bottom surface of the non-concave region of the bottom plate 111, and the protrusions 111c do not protrude from the bottom surface of the cross plate 141, so that the clamping plate 115 is tightly attached to the bottom surface outside the concave region 111b of the bottom plate 111, 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 bottom plate 111 is required to support the weight of the second apparatus 2, and thus the wall thickness of the bottom plate 111 is designed to be relatively thick, so that the concave region 111b is formed on the bottom plate 111, and the clamping plate 115 may be a common thin plate.

The number of the protrusions 111c and the guide grooves 141a is not limited, and may be one or more. Illustratively, in an 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.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 4, in order to facilitate connection between the transverse plate 141 and the connection portion, a bump 1411 is disposed on a top surface of the transverse plate 141, a through hole 111a penetrating through the bottom plate 111 is disposed on the bottom plate 111, the bump 1411 is disposed in the through hole 111a in a penetrating manner, and a dimension of the bump 1411 along a sliding direction of the transverse plate 141 is smaller than a dimension of the through hole 111a, so that the bump 1411 can slide in the through hole 111 a. The movement stroke of the boss 1411 in the escape hole 111a determines the movement stroke of the clamping member 14, specifically, when the boss 1411 abuts against a side wall of one side of the escape hole 111a, the clamping member 14 moves to one of the extreme positions, and when the boss 1411 abuts against a side wall of the other side of the escape hole 111a, the clamping member 14 moves to the other extreme position.

The manner in which the second device 2 is mated with the base unit 1 is not limited, and for example, in one embodiment, the base unit 1 includes a fastener that mates with the housing assembly 11 to secure the second device 2 to the housing assembly 11. That is, the second device 2 is fixedly connected to the base assembly 11, and at this time, the second device 2, the base apparatus 1, and the second device 3 are fixedly connected together, so that the second device 2 cannot fall from the top end of the first device 3 even if shake or vibration occurs, thereby improving the safety of the second device 2.

The specific structural form of the fixing member is not limited as long as the second device 2 can be fixed to the seat assembly 11. For example, the fixing member may be a screw penetrating the seat assembly 11 and the second device 2 to achieve a fixed connection, etc.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the seat assembly 11 includes a side plate 112 disposed on the top side of the bottom plate 111, and a fixing member having an abutment surface 12b for abutting against the second device 2, and the fixing member cooperates with the side plate 112 to abut the second device 2 in the seat assembly 11. That is, in this embodiment, the second device 2 is fixed to the seat assembly 11 by abutting, so that a special connection structure for the second device 2 is not required, and the applicability is wide.

In an embodiment, a threaded hole is formed in the side plate 112, the fixing member is a bolt, the end face of the bolt is an abutting face 12b, the bolt penetrates into the threaded hole from one side of the side plate 112 away from the second device 2 and protrudes out of one side of the side plate 112 close to the second device 2, so that the end face of the bolt abuts against the second device 2, the bolt is gradually screwed in, and the bolt can abut the second device 2 against the seat assembly 11.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the fixing member is a wedge 12, a side plate 112 facing the second device 2 has a first wedge surface 11c, a first side of the wedge 12 has a second wedge surface 12a, a second side of the wedge 12 has an abutment surface 12b, the second wedge surface 12a and the abutment surface 12b are located at two opposite sides of the wedge 12, and during wedging of the wedge 12 between the first wedge surface 11c and the side of the second device 2, the first wedge surface 11c is slidably engaged with the second wedge surface 12a, and the abutment surface 12b gradually moves toward the second device 2 until the second device 2 is wedged on the seat assembly 11.

In assembly, referring to fig. 11, the second device 2 is placed on the base plate 111, at which time the second device 2 can move on the top surface of the base plate 111. The wedge 12 is then wedged between the side of the second device 2 and the first wedge surface 11c, the second wedge surface 12a of the wedge 12 being in sliding contact with the first wedge surface 11c, the abutment surface 12b of the wedge 12 being in contact with the side of the second device 2. The wedge 12 is pressed downwards, and the abutment surface 12b gradually moves towards the second device 2 due to the cooperation of the first wedge surface 11c and the second wedge surface 12a, so that the pressing force between the abutment surface 12b and the second device 2 is larger and larger until the second device 2 is wedged tightly. Finally, the wedge block 12 is fixedly connected with the seat body assembly 11, so that the wedge block 12 is prevented from falling off, and the assembled state is shown in fig. 10.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the seat assembly 11 is provided with a first connection hole 11f, the wedge 12 is provided with a second connection hole 12d, and the fastening screw 17 sequentially penetrates into the second connection hole 12d and the first connection hole 11f from above.

In the embodiment of the application, the second device 2 is wedged on the seat body assembly 11 through the wedge block 12, on one hand, the wedge block 12 can rapidly wedge the second device 2, and even if the second device 2 vibrates or shakes in the working process, the wedge block 12 is not easy to loose, so that the pretightening force between the second device 2 and the seat body assembly 11 is ensured; in addition, the wedging depth of the wedge 12 may be continuously adjusted to adjust the preload between the second device 2 and the housing assembly 11.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, one of the first wedge surface 11c and the second wedge surface 12a is provided with a guide block 11d, and the other is provided with a sliding groove 12c, and the guide block 11d can slide relatively in the sliding groove 12c during wedging of the wedge 12 into the mounting groove. 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 second device 2 of different types is placed on the base plate 111, the distance between one side of the second device 2 and the first wedge surface 11c is different, and when the wedge 12 is wedged, the wedging depth of the wedge 12 is different, and the alignment positions of the first connection hole 11f and the second connection hole 12d are also different. For this reason, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, 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 second 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 screw 17 can penetrate into the second connecting hole 12d and the first connecting hole 11f in sequence, and the base device 1 can adapt to different types of second 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 12 a; 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 11 c; 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. 12, the second device 2 is configured with a plurality of feet 21, and the second device 2 is supported on the base 111 by the plurality of feet 21. The specific structure of the foot 21 is not limited, and illustratively, the foot 21 includes a leg 211 and a flange 212 protruding from the circumference of the bottom end 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.

In one embodiment, 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 beyond the top of the seat assembly 11, thereby avoiding affecting the appearance of the seat assembly 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 second 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 second device 2, the wedge 12 applies a force to the second device 2, and the seat assembly 11 abuts against the second 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 second device 2 to create the reaction force described above.

For example, referring to fig. 8 and 12, in one embodiment, the seat assembly 11 is provided with a limiting groove 1130, and one side of the limiting groove 1130 is opened so that the foot 21 can enter the limiting groove 1130 from the opening and be abutted in the limiting groove 1130. That is, in this embodiment, the seat assembly 11 is brought into abutment with the foot 21 of the second device 2 by the inner wall of the limit groove 1130 to form the reaction force described above. In this way, the housing of the second device 2 does not abut the housing assembly 11, reducing the likelihood of the housing of the second device 2 being scratched.

The extending direction and the opening position of the limiting groove 1130 are not limited as long as the foot 21 can be easily engaged with the foot 21. For example, referring to fig. 8, in one embodiment, the limiting groove 1130 extends along the direction in which the wedge 12 pushes the second apparatus 2, and the limiting groove 1130 is opened toward one side of the wedge 12, which can facilitate operation and save space. Specifically, after the second device 2 is placed on the bottom plate 111, the second device 2 is pushed in a direction away from the first wedge surface 11c until the foot 21 is pushed into the limit groove 1130 from the open position, one side of the foot 21 abuts against the inner wall of the limit groove 1130, then the wedge block 12 is wedged, and the wedge block 12 presses and pushes the second device 2 in the same direction until the second device 2 is wedged. In the process, an operator can stand on the same side of the first device 3 to push the second device 2 and wedge the wedge block 12, and the operator can push the second device 2 forwards conveniently, so that the operator can apply force conveniently; furthermore, the bottom plate 111 needs to reserve extra space along the moving direction of the second device 2 so that the wedge 12 pushes the second device 2, so that the limiting groove 1130 extends along the direction of pushing the second device 2, and the size of the bottom plate 111 is not increased additionally, so that the bottom plate 111 can have smaller sizes along two opposite sides of the second device 2, which is beneficial to compact structure of the seat assembly 11.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 9, a reduced opening 1130' is formed at the top of the limit slot 1130 to lock a portion of the structure of the foot 21 in the limit slot 1130 below the reduced opening 1130', for example, to lock the flange 212 in the limit slot 1130 below the reduced opening 1130'. When the foot 21 shakes, the foot 21 cannot be separated from the limit groove 1130 from the upper side of the limit groove 1130 under the action of the shrinkage 1130', and the connection reliability of the second device 2 and the base assembly 11 is improved.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 9, along the extending direction of the limiting groove 1130, the limiting groove 1130 includes a guiding section 11301 and a locking section 11302, the lateral dimension of the guiding section 11301 is larger than that of the locking section 11302, and the guiding section 11301 guides the sliding of the bottom leg 21, so that the bottom leg 21 can quickly enter the guiding section 11301. The foot 21 abuts at the extended end of the locking section 11302. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the top portion corresponding to the locking section 11302 is shrunk to form the above-mentioned shrinkage 1130'.

The specific structure for forming the limiting groove 1130 is not limited, for example, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 8, the seat assembly 11 further includes a clamping block 113, the clamping block 113 is fixedly disposed on the bottom plate 111, the clamping block 113 is provided with the limiting groove 1130, and the limiting groove 1130 is formed on a side of the clamping block 113 facing the wedge 12. Referring to fig. 9 and 12, the top inner wall of the limiting groove 1130 is provided with a rib 1131 protruding toward the limiting groove 1130, the end of the rib 1131 is surrounded to form a reduced opening 1130', the leg 211 is arranged in the reduced opening 1130', the flange 212 is located between the rib 1131 and the bottom plate 111, and when the foot 21 shakes, the bottom side of the rib 1131 is in stop contact with the flange 212 to limit the flange 212 between the rib 1131 and the bottom plate 111.

It should be noted that the protruding degree of the clamping block 113 protruding from the bottom plate 111 may be determined according to the height of the flange 212 of the foot 21, and the thickness of the clamping block 113 may be reduced as much as possible in the case of being able to accommodate the flange 212.

The number of the side plates 112 may be one or a plurality. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the number of side plates is plural, and a plurality of side plates 112 are disposed around the periphery of the top side of the bottom plate 111 to form a coaming. In the process of placing the second device 2 on the bottom plate 111, the plurality of side plates 112 play a role in guiding the second device 2, so that after the second device 2 is placed on the bottom plate 111, the bottom feet 21 of the second device 2 are aligned with the open positions of the limiting grooves 1130, and thus the alignment operation of the second device 2 can be reduced, and the labor intensity of operators is reduced.

The bottom plate 111 and all the side plates 112 may be integrally formed, for example, integrally injection-molded, so that the structural strength and structural reliability of the seat assembly 11 can be improved, the number of parts can be reduced, and the assembly is facilitated. It will be appreciated that the bottom panel 111 and the side panels 112 may also be of a split construction.

The particular shape of the base plate 111 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the shape of the base plate 111 generally approximates the contour shape of the bottom end of the second device 2 to make the housing assembly 11 compact.

When the second device 2 is placed on the bottom plate 111, the bottom leg 21 of the second device 2 supports the top surface of the bottom plate 111, and since the bottom leg 21 has a certain height, in order to facilitate the abutting surface 12b of the wedge 12 to abut on the housing of the second device 2 above the bottom leg 21, in this embodiment, please refer to fig. 7 and 12, the seat assembly 11 includes a boss 114 disposed at one end of the bottom plate 111 near the first wedge surface 11c, the first wedge surface 11c extends to the top surface 114a of the boss 114, and the wedge 12 is connected with the boss 114. The top surface of the boss 114 is higher than the bearing surface 11a, a height difference is formed between the top surface 114a of the boss 114 and the bearing surface 11a, and the end of the fastening screw 17 is screwed into the inside of the boss 114. In the case where the wedges 12 are the same in size, the abutment surface 12b of the wedge 12 can more reliably abut against the housing of the second apparatus 2; in addition, the fastening screw 17 is screwed into the boss 114 after passing through the wedge 12, and the boss 114 provides a mounting space for the fastening screw 17, preventing the end of the fastening screw 17 from penetrating out of the bottom surface of the bottom plate 111.
