Please refer to fig. 1A-1C, fig. 2, and fig. 3A-3C simultaneously. The fixing frame 1 includes a base 4 and a rotating plate 5. The seat body 4 can be fixed on the first object 2, for example, a hole 41 is formed on the seat body 4, and a screw hole 21 is formed on the first object 2, so that the seat body 4 and the first object 2 can be fixed together by the screw 6 passing through the hole 41 and then being locked on the screw hole 21. However, the present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned fixing method, and the two can be fixed by other fixing means commonly used in the art.

The base 4 includes a ring wall 42, a receiving groove 43 and a press button 44. The annular wall 42 is a wall surface having an annular appearance or an annular arrangement, and the wall surface may be continuously disposed, or a plurality of wall surfaces may be combined into an annular arrangement, which is not limited in this embodiment. The ring wall 42 divides the housing 4 into an inner space 45 and an outer space 46. The receiving groove 43 has a first sidewall 431 and a second sidewall 432, the first sidewall 431 and the second sidewall 432 are disposed opposite to each other, and the first sidewall 431 forms a portion of the ring wall 42. The first sidewall 431 has a first through hole 4311 and a second through hole 4312, and the first through hole 4311 and the second through hole 4312 can be connected to each other on the first sidewall 431 even if they are integrated into a larger through hole, which is not limited by the present invention. The second sidewall 432 has a third through hole 4321. The button 44 includes a pin 441, a pressing post 442, a positioning post 443, a stopper 444, and a spring 445. The baffle 444 has a first surface 4441 and a second surface 4442 disposed opposite to each other. The pin 441 extends outwardly from the first surface 4441 through the first through hole 4311, and the pressing post 442 extends outwardly from the first surface 4441 through the second through hole 4312, wherein a first length L1 of the pin 441 extending outwardly from the first surface 4441 is less than a second length L2 of the pressing post 442 extending outwardly from the first surface 4441. Positioning posts 443 extend outwardly from second surface 4442 and through third perforations 4321. The spring 445 is disposed on the positioning post 443 and located between the second surface 4442 and the second sidewall 432.

The turntable 5 may be fixed to a second object 3. The turntable 5 includes a circular disk 51 and a ring frame 52.
