[0034] The technical solutions provided by the utility model are further illustrated below in combination with embodiments.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 the embodiment, a bidirectional rotating support is provided. The bidirectional rotating support 100 comprises a fixing assembly, a guide rail support assembly, and a rotating plate 2; wherein,

[0038] As shown in Figure 3(b), the fixing assembly comprises a fixing frame 1, the fixing frame 1 is provided with a fixing frame bottom plate 11, and opposite sides of the fixing frame bottom plate 11 are respectively provided with fixing frame side plates 12 fixedly connected with the fixing frame bottom plate 11; the fixing frame bottom plate 11 is parallel to the plane in which the rotating plate 2 is located; the fixing frame side plates 12 are perpendicular to the fixing frame bottom plate 11;

[0039] The guide rail support assembly comprises: a first guide rail support 3 and a second guide rail support 4 arranged in mirror symmetry; the first guide rail support 3 and the second guide rail support 4 each have a guide rail support plate 32, and the guide rail support plates 32 of the first guide rail support 3 and the second guide rail support 4 are respectively close to different fixed frame side plates 12; the arc-shaped slot 31 is arranged on the guide rail support plate 32.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the fixed frame side plate 12 is provided with a through hole, and the middle part of the first fastener 6 extends through the through hole of the fixed frame side plate 12 and the arc-shaped slot 31 of the guide rail support plate 32; the two ends of the first fastener 6 are respectively abutted against the fixed frame side plate 12 and the guide rail support plate 32, so as to press the fixed frame side plate 12 and the guide rail support plate 32 together, and drive the fixed frame to slide along the arc-shaped slot 31 through the middle part of the first fastener 6, thereby driving the rotating plate 2 to swing. As shown in Figure 2 , preferably, the first arc A of the arc-shaped slot 31 is 17 degrees. FIG. 3(a) is a schematic view of the fixed frame 1 located at the first end of the arc-shaped slot 31, and FIG. 3(b) is a schematic view of the fixed frame 1 located at the second end of the arc-shaped slot 31. The fixed frame 1 can slide along the arc-shaped slot 31 between the first end of the arc-shaped slot 31 and the second end of the arc-shaped slot 31. The mirror-symmetrical first guide rail support 3 and the second guide rail support 4 form a rigid slide rail through the guide rail support plate 32 and the guide rail support fixed plate 33, cooperate with the through hole on the fixed frame side plate 12 and the first fastener 6, and in the pressed state, not only ensure smooth sliding, but also improve the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0045] The rotating plate 2 is provided with mounting holes and positioning holes for mounting the equipment to be rotated. As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the positions of the first guide rail bracket 3 and the second guide rail bracket 4 are fixed.

However, in other embodiments, a combination of nuts and studs can also be used.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figure 1As shown, the fixing assembly further comprises: a gasket 10, a first flat washer 81, a second flat washer 82 and a second elastic member 9; wherein the thickness of the gasket 10 can be selected according to the required thickness of the bidirectional rotating support 100. That is, by adding gaskets 10 of different thicknesses between the fixing frame bottom plate 11 and the limiting member 5, the total thickness of the support can be flexibly adjusted according to the subsequent equipment installation requirements, greatly improving the adaptability and customizability of the product. The first flat washer 81 and the second flat washer 82 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the rotating plate 2; for improving the rotation smoothness of the rotating plate 2; the second elastic member 9 is arranged between the end of the second fastener 7 close to the rotating plate 2 and the rotating plate 2, for improving the fastening degree.
