具体实施方式
以下具体实施方式是示例性而非限制的,其旨在提供对本申请的基本了解,并不旨在确认本申请的关键或决定性的要素或限定所要保护的范围。只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。
当一个组件被认为是“设于”另一个组件,它可以是直接设在另一个组件上或者可能同时存在居中的组件。当一个组件被认为是“连接”另一个组件,它可以是直接连接在另一个组件上或者可能同时存在居中的组件。
可以理解,术语“垂直”用于描述两个部件之间的理想状态。实际生产或使用的状态中,两个部件之间可以存在近似于垂直或等于的状态。举例来说,结 合数值描述,垂直可以指代两直线之间夹角范围在90°±10°之间,垂直也可以指代两平面的二面角范围在90°±10°之间,垂直还可以指代直线与平面之间的夹角范围在90°±10°之间。被描述“垂直”的两个部件可以不是绝对的直线、平面,也可以大致呈直线或平面,从宏观来看整体延伸方向为直线或平面即可认为部件为“直线”或“平面”。
除非另有定义,本文术语“多个”在用于描述部件的数量时,具体是指该部件为两个或者两个以上。
