Of course, in other embodiments, the floating portion 41 may be provided with only one floating cavity 411.

In one embodiment, one of the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 201 and the floating portion 41 is provided with a sliding rib 413 in sliding contact with the other, and the sliding rib 413 extends in the up-down direction. Specifically, the wall of the housing chamber 201 may be provided with a sliding rib 413, and the sliding rib 413 may be in sliding contact with the outer side surface of the floating portion 41. A sliding rib 413 may be provided on the outer side surface of the floating portion 41, and the sliding rib 413 may be in sliding contact with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 201.
