Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of connection and relates to a convenient installation structure of a kitchen waste disposer. Background Art

[0002] The food waste disposer is a common auxiliary equipment in modern kitchens. It is installed at the bottom of the sink. It is equipped with a crushing and grinding mechanism. Food waste is directly flushed from the sink into the food waste disposer for crushing and grinding before being discharged into the sewer. In order to be fixed to the sink, the existing food waste disposers basically include an inlet and a body. The inlet includes a downpipe and a fastening ring that can be threadedly connected to the downpipe. The downpipe passes through the drain hole of the sink from top to bottom and is then threadedly connected to the downpipe with the fastening ring to clamp the bottom of the sink to form a fixation. Then the body and the inlet are connected and fixed through a connecting structure.

[0003] Regarding the connection structure between the body and the inlet device, China Patent has disclosed a locking structure of a kitchen waste disposer with patent application number 201520606224.7, which includes a water leak and a disposer body. The opening edge of the water leak is provided with an outer edge, and the water leak can be hooked on the sink through the outer edge. A connection structure for clamping the sink is provided between the water leak and the disposer body, and the connection structure includes a fixing part, an upper annular ring and a lower annular ring. The fixing part is installed below the outer edge, the upper annular ring is installed below the fixing part and a push-up structure is provided between the fixing part so that the sink is clamped between the outer edge and the fixing part, a clamping structure is provided between the upper annular ring and the lower annular ring, and the lower annular ring is fixedly connected to the disposer body; wherein the clamping structure includes circumferentially arranged sloped protrusions provided on the upper annular ring and buckle grooves provided on the lower annular ring and mutually engaged with the sloped protrusions, and a protrusion is provided on the sloped protrusion.

[0004] During installation, the lower annular ring is first connected to the upper port of the processor body, and then the lower annular ring is sleeved on the upper annular ring and then rotated, so that the sloped protrusion is snapped into the buckle groove to achieve the fixation between the processor body and the leaking port. However, in the actual application environment, considering the convenient connection with the dishwasher drain pipe and the downpipe, the processor body is generally required to be able to rotate relative to the leaking port to adjust the processor body outlet direction / dishwasher interface direction. In view of this situation, the conventional technical means of those skilled in the art is to set the lower annular ring and the processor body to a sleeve relationship, that is, the lower annular ring is sleeved outside the mouth of the upper end of the processor body, and then a splash guard is fixed to the upper port of the processor body, and the splash guard limits the lower annular ring on the processor body, that is, the lower annular ring, the splash guard and the processor body form a whole, so that the processor body and the lower annular ring are fixed axially and will not be separated from the leaking port, and the processor can be rotated relative to the lower annular ring to adjust the angle. However, in order to make the processor body rotate more easily, there must be a certain gap between the lower ring and the processor body or the splash shield to reduce the rotation resistance. The processor body will generate relatively large vibrations during operation. The mutual influence between the two can easily cause the processor body to rotate and shift, thereby causing the connection between the processor body and each pipe to become loose or leak. In addition, since there is a gap between the lower ring and the processor body or the splash shield, the staff must hold the lower ring with both hands during installation. If the staff directly wraps the processor body with both hands to install, it is easy for the lower ring to slip and cannot be fixed normally. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to propose a convenient installation structure for a food waste disposer, which solves the problem of unstable connection while improving applicability.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A convenient installation structure for a food waste disposer, the food waste disposer includes an inlet and a body, the convenient installation structure includes a connecting component arranged at the upper end of the body and in a ring shape, and is characterized in that the connecting component includes a mounting body fixed at the upper end of the body and in a ring shape, and an anti-rotation sleeve that can be fixed to the outside of the lower end of the inlet, the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve are fixed along the axial direction of the body and the two can rotate relative to each other, a plurality of slots are provided on the mounting body along the circumferential direction, a pin is provided on the anti-rotation sleeve, and the end of the pin can be inserted into any one of the slots to fix the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve along the circumferential direction.

[0008] During installation, the inlet is fixed to the bottom of the sink, and then the installer holds the body with both hands and fixes it to the outside of the lower end of the inlet through the connecting assembly. Among them, the anti-rotation sleeve in the connecting assembly cooperates with the inlet to form a fixation, and the mounting body in the connecting assembly is fixed with the anti-rotation sleeve along the axial direction of the body. Therefore, when the installer releases his hands, the body can be hung on the inlet through the axial fixation of the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve. Then, the installer only needs to operate the latch to disengage its end from the slot, and then hold the body to rotate relative to the inlet to adjust the body outlet direction / dishwasher interface direction, thereby greatly improving the applicability. When the adjustment is in place, the installer re-operates the latch to insert its end into the current corresponding slot, so that the body and the anti-rotation sleeve can be fixed along the circumferential direction to prevent the body from being displaced due to the vibration generated during operation, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection between the body and the pipe.

[0009] By configuring the connection component as a mounting body and an anti-rotation sleeve, and arranging a matching structure of a latch and a slot between the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve, the outlet direction of the machine body / the interface direction of the dishwasher can be adjusted to improve applicability, and after adjustment, the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve can be locked to ensure the connection is firm; and the installation is very convenient, the operation of the latch and the rotation of the machine body do not interfere with each other during the entire installation process, and the machine body can be directly held for installation.

[0010] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, the pin is slidably connected to the anti-rotation sleeve and the pin can rotate relative to the slot. The rotation of the pin can switch the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve between circumferential fixation and relative rotation. When the pin is rotated to the point where the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve rotate relative to each other, the rotation of the mounting body can push the end of the pin to slide out of the slot.

[0011] When the outlet / dishwasher interface direction needs to be adjusted, the latch is rotated until the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve can rotate relative to each other, so that the rotation of the mounting body can push the end of the latch to slide out of the slot, thereby releasing the restriction of the latch on the rotation of the mounting body; after the adjustment is in place, the latch is rotated until the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve are fixed along the circumferential direction to prevent the displacement of the body due to vibration, thereby improving the connection stability between the body and each pipe. By directly rotating the latch to switch the circumferential matching state between the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve, the action of plugging and unplugging the latch is eliminated, thereby improving the applicability and further ensuring the convenience of installation.

[0012] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, two mating surfaces are arranged opposite each other in the slot, and the end of the pin is provided with two anti-rotation surfaces and two sliding surfaces connected between the two anti-rotation surfaces. The mating surface and the anti-rotation surface are both straight surfaces, and the sliding surface is an arc surface. The pin can rotate relative to the slot so that the anti-rotation surface or the sliding surface is opposite to the mating surface.

[0013] Since the anti-rotation surface and the mating surface are both straight surfaces, when the latch is rotated to the point where the anti-rotation surface is opposite to the mating surface, the installation body and the anti-rotation sleeve can be circumferentially fixed through the abutment between the anti-rotation surface and the mating surface, thereby ensuring the connection stability after the angle is adjusted; since the sliding surface is an arc surface, when the latch is rotated to the point where the sliding surface is opposite to the mating surface, when the installer rotates the body, he can apply a force on the sliding surface through the connection between the mating surface and the surface where the slot notch is located to push the latch to slide, thereby releasing the restriction of the latch on the rotation of the installation body, thereby adjusting the body outlet direction / dishwasher interface direction to improve applicability.

[0014] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, a spring is arranged in the anti-rotation sleeve, and the latch always has a tendency to be inserted into the slot under the elastic force of the spring.

[0015] The spring is provided so that the latch can always be stably matched with the slot. In particular, after the latch is rotated to fix the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve along the circumferential direction, the elastic force of the spring can ensure that the latch is not affected by the vibration generated by the kitchen waste disposer when it is working.

[0016] In the convenient installation structure of the above-mentioned food waste disposer, the slot is arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting body, the lower end surface of the anti-rotation sleeve is provided with a mounting hole for placing a spring and a latch, a movable groove connected to the mounting hole is penetrated by the side of the anti-rotation sleeve, an operating handle passing through the movable groove is fixed on the side of the latch, the operating handle can move along the movable groove and drive the latch to rotate, and the side of the anti-rotation sleeve is also provided with a yield groove connected to the movable groove and for the operating handle to slide into when the mounting body pushes the latch to slide.

[0017] The operating handle is fixed to the side of the bolt and extends out of the movable groove. When the installer pulls the operating handle to move along the movable groove, the bolt can be directly driven to rotate, thereby switching the circumferential matching state between the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve. The setting of the operating handle allows the installer to directly control the bolt from the outside, further improving the convenience during installation. The clearance groove can make way for the operating handle when the mounting body pushes the bolt to slide and rotates relative to the anti-rotation sleeve, thereby preventing the groove wall of the movable groove from jamming the operating handle and making the bolt unable to slide.

[0018] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, a limiting block is fixed on one side wall of the movable groove, and a clearance greater than the height of the limiting block is provided between the side wall of the movable groove opposite to the side wall where the limiting block is located and the operating handle; when the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve are fixed along the circumferential direction, the operating handle is located on one side of the limiting block, and when the mounting body can rotate relative to the anti-rotation sleeve, the operating handle is located on the other side of the limiting block.

[0019] Whether during or after the adjustment, the operating handle can be limited by the limit block to ensure that the operating handle will not move unexpectedly, which can also ensure the convenience of installation, especially during the adjustment process, there is no need to press the operating handle with your hands all the time. At the same time, the clearance ensures that the installer can go over the limit block when actively pulling the operating handle, avoiding obstacles to active adjustment.

[0020] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, the installation body includes a mounting plate and a mounting ring, a convex ring is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the anti-rotation sleeve, a matching hole with an internal thread is provided at the center of the mounting plate, the lower end of the mounting ring passes through the convex ring and is threadedly connected in the matching hole, and an annular blocking portion with an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring is provided at the upper end of the mounting ring, and the convex ring is limited between the upper end surface of the mounting plate and the annular blocking portion.

[0021] During assembly, the mounting plate is first fixed to the upper end surface of the machine body, and then the mounting ring is passed through the anti-rotation sleeve from top to bottom, and the lower end of the mounting ring is threadedly connected to the matching hole in the center of the mounting plate. In this way, the mounting plate and the mounting ring are combined to form a mounting body. At the same time, the annular blocking portion on the mounting ring and the upper end surface of the mounting plate clamp the convex ring on the inner side of the lower single of the anti-rotation sleeve, so that the anti-rotation sleeve and the mounting body are fixed together along the axial direction. At the same time, this axial fixing method ensures that the mounting body can rotate relative to the anti-rotation sleeve to adjust the direction of the machine body outlet / dishwasher interface.

[0022] In the above-mentioned convenient installation structure of the food waste disposer, a connecting ring is detachably connected inside the anti-rotation sleeve, and the connecting ring can be fixed to the lower end of the inlet device by a rotating clamping method.

[0023] In the convenient installation structure of the above-mentioned food waste disposer, at least two protrusions are distributed on the outside of the connecting ring, each protrusion is provided with a slope on the upper side and a groove is provided at the highest point of the slope, and at least two connecting blocks are correspondingly arranged on the inner side of the anti-rotation sleeve. When the anti-rotation sleeve rotates relative to the connecting ring, each connecting block can move along the slope on the corresponding protrusion to be inserted into the groove, and the annular blocking part is correspondingly provided with a plurality of notches for the connecting blocks to pass through.

[0024] During installation, first combine the mounting ring, mounting plate and anti-rotation sleeve into a connecting assembly arranged at the upper end of the machine body, then fix the connecting ring to the outside of the lower end of the inlet by means of a rotating snap-fit ​​method, then hold the machine body upward to make the connecting ring fall into the anti-rotation sleeve, and then rotate the machine body to make the connecting ring and the anti-rotation sleeve move along the slope on the protrusion through the connecting block to fit into the groove, so that the anti-rotation sleeve is fixed to the connecting ring. Both the fixing of the connecting ring to the inlet and the fixing of the anti-rotation sleeve to the connecting ring are achieved by means of a rotating snap-fit ​​method, which ensures the convenience during installation. Of course, during installation, in addition to first fixing the connecting ring to the outside of the inlet and then connecting the anti-rotation sleeve to the connecting ring, the connecting ring can also be connected to the inner side of the anti-rotation sleeve for combination, and then the combination is fixed to the outside of the inlet by means of the connecting ring.

[0025] A convenient installation structure for a food waste disposer, the food waste disposer includes an inlet and a body, the convenient installation structure includes a connecting component arranged at the upper end of the body and in a ring shape, and is characterized in that the connecting component includes a mounting body fixed at the upper end of the body and in a ring shape, and an anti-rotation sleeve that can be fixed to the outside of the lower end of the inlet, the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve are fixed along the axial direction of the body and the two can rotate relative to each other, a plurality of slots are provided on the anti-rotation sleeve along the circumferential direction, a pin is provided on the mounting body, and the end of the pin can be inserted into any one of the slots to fix the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve along the circumferential direction.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the convenient installation structure of the kitchen waste disposer is provided with a connection assembly as a mounting body and an anti-rotation sleeve, and a matching structure of a latch and a slot is provided between the mounting body and the anti-rotation sleeve, which not only enables the outlet direction of the machine body / the interface direction of the dishwasher to be adjusted, thus greatly improving the applicability, but also ensures the connection stability of the kitchen waste disposer when working after the adjustment is completed. In addition, the operation of the latch and the rotation of the machine body do not interfere with each other during the entire installation process, and the installation is still very convenient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a convenient installation structure of a food waste disposer, the food waste disposer includes an inlet 2 and a body 1. When in use, the inlet 2 needs to be fixed to the bottom of the sink. This convenient installation structure is mainly used for the installation and fixation between the body 1 and the inlet 2. This convenient installation structure includes a connecting component arranged at the upper end of the body 1 and in an annular shape, and the connecting component can be fixed at the lower end of the inlet 2, wherein the connecting component includes a mounting body 3 fixed at the upper end of the body 1 and in an annular shape and an anti-rotation sleeve 4 that can cooperate with the inlet 2, the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 are fixed along the axial direction of the body 1 and the two can rotate relative to each other, a plurality of slots 5 are arranged on the mounting body 3 along the circumferential direction, and a latch 6 is arranged on the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and the end of the latch 6 can be inserted into any one of the slots 5 to fix the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 along the circumferential direction.

[0041] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inlet 2 includes a downpipe 2a and a fastening ring 2b threadedly connected to the outside of the upper end of the downpipe 2a. The top of the downpipe 2a has an annular flange. When assembling, the downpipe 2a is passed through the drain hole of the water tank from top to bottom, and the annular flange is against the inner bottom wall of the water tank, and then the fastening ring 2b is screwed upward and fixed. The convenient installation structure also includes a connecting ring 13 that can be detachably connected to the inner side of the anti-rotation ring, and the connecting ring 13 can be fixed to the lower end of the inlet 2 by rotating and clamping. In this embodiment, at least two blocks 13a are arranged along the circumferential direction on the inner side of the connecting ring 13, and at least two arc-shaped grooves 2a1 are arranged along the circumferential direction on the lower end side of the downpipe 2a. The width of the groove 2a1 gradually decreases, and the end with a larger width of the groove 2a1 forms an opening downward for the corresponding block 13a to enter the groove 2a1. The connecting ring 13 is put on the outside of the downpipe 2a in a way that the block 13a is opposite to the opening, and then the connecting ring 13 is rotated to make the block 13a slide from the end with a larger width of the groove 2a1 into the end with a smaller width, so that the connecting ring 13 is fixed outside the downpipe 2a. Furthermore, at least two protrusions 13b are distributed on the outside of the connecting ring 13, and a slope is provided on the upper side of each protrusion 13b and a groove 13b1 is provided at the highest point of the slope. At least two connecting blocks 4b are correspondingly provided on the inner side of the anti-rotation sleeve 4. When the anti-rotation sleeve 4 rotates relative to the connecting ring 13, each connecting block 4b can move along the slope on the corresponding protrusion 13b to be inserted into the groove 13b1. By inserting the connecting block 4b into the corresponding groove 13b1, the anti-rotation ring is fixed to the connecting ring 13, and the connecting ring 13 is fixed to the downpipe 2a, so that the anti-rotation ring is fixed to the downpipe 2a. The connecting ring 13 can be made of plastic, so that the connecting ring 13 has elasticity to cooperate with the protrusion 13b to be inserted or removed from the groove 13b1.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting body 3 includes a mounting plate 3a and a mounting ring 3b. The mounting plate 3a is fixed to the upper end surface of the machine body 1 by fasteners. A matching hole 3a1 with an internal thread is provided in the center of the mounting plate 3a. The lower end of the mounting ring 3b passes through the convex ring 4a and is threadedly connected in the matching hole 3a1. The lower end of the anti-rotation sleeve 4 has a convex ring 4a on the inner side. The upper end of the mounting ring 3b is provided with an annular blocking portion 3b1 with an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring 4a. The convex ring 4a is limited between the upper end surface of the mounting plate 3a and the annular blocking portion 3b1, and the annular blocking portion 3b1 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of notches 3b11 for the connection block 4b to pass through.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 10As shown, the slot 5 is arranged on the mounting plate 3a, the latch 6 is slidably connected with the anti-rotation sleeve 4, two matching surfaces 5a are arranged opposite to each other in the slot 5, two anti-rotation surfaces 6a and two sliding surfaces 6b connected between the two anti-rotation surfaces 6a are arranged at the end of the latch 6, the latch 6 can rotate relative to the slot 5 so that the anti-rotation surface 6a or the sliding surface 6b is opposite to the matching surface 5a, when the matching surface 5a abuts against the anti-rotation surface 6a, the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 can be fixed along the circumferential direction, when the matching surface 5a abuts against the sliding surface 6b, the mounting body 3 can rotate relative to the anti-rotation sleeve 4 and the mounting body 3 can push the latch 6 to slide through the sliding surface 6b. A spring 7 is arranged in the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and the latch 6 always has a tendency to be inserted into the slot 5 under the elastic force of the spring 7. The mating surface 5a and the anti-rotation surface 6a are both straight surfaces, the sliding surface 6b is an arc surface, and the distance between the two mating surfaces 5a is greater than the distance between the two mating surfaces 5a or the maximum distance between the two sliding surfaces 6b to ensure that the end of the plug 6 can rotate in the slot 5 so that the anti-rotation surface 6a or the sliding surface 6b is opposite to the mating surface 5a. There are two plugs 6 and they are symmetrically arranged.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the slot 5 is arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting plate 3a, the lower end surface of the anti-rotation sleeve 4 is provided with a mounting hole 8, and the spring 7 and the latch 6 are arranged in the mounting hole 8. A movable groove 9 is provided through the side of the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and the movable groove 9 is connected with the mounting hole 8. An operating handle 10 is fixed on the side of the latch 6 and passes through the movable groove 9. The operating handle 10 can move along the movable groove 9 and drive the latch 6 to rotate. A clearance groove 11 is also provided on the side of the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and the clearance groove 11 is connected with the movable groove 9 from top to bottom. When the mounting body 3 pushes the latch 6 to slide through the sliding surface 6b, the operating handle 10 can move into the clearance groove 11. A limiting block 12 is fixed on the lower groove wall of the movable groove 9, and a clearance greater than the height of the limiting block 12 is provided between the groove wall on the side of the movable groove 9 opposite to the side wall where the limiting block 12 is located (i.e., the upper groove wall of the movable groove 9) and the operating handle 10. When the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 are fixed along the circumferential direction, the operating handle 10 is located on one side of the limiting block 12, and when the mounting body 3 can rotate relative to the anti-rotation sleeve 4, the operating handle 10 is located on the other side of the limiting block 12.

[0045] Specifically, during installation, the inlet 2 is fixed to the water tank, the installation ring 3b is passed through the anti-rotation sleeve 4 from top to bottom (the notch 3b11 on the annular blocking portion 3b1 allows the connection block 4b in the anti-rotation sleeve 4 to pass through), and then the installation plate 3a is threadedly connected to the lower end of the installation ring 3b to form the installation body 3, and the convex ring 4a in the lower end of the anti-rotation sleeve 4 is limited between the annular blocking portion 3b1 and the upper end surface of the installation plate 3a so that the anti-rotation sleeve 4 and the installation body 3 are axially fixed. Next, the connection ring 13 is fixed outside the lower end of the downpipe 2a of the inlet 2, and then the machine body 1 is held upward with both hands to make the connection ring 13 fall into the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and then the machine body 1 is rotated so that the connection ring 13 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 are clamped into the groove 13b1 through the connection block 4b to form a fixation, so that the machine body 1 and the inlet 2 are fixed together.

[0046] Before connecting the anti-rotation sleeve 4 and the mounting body 3, the operating handle 10 can be pulled to rotate the latch 6 until the sliding surface 6b and the matching surface 5a are matched. Alternatively, the operating handle 10 can be pulled to rotate the latch 6 until the sliding surface 6b and the matching surface 5a are matched after the machine body 1 and the inlet 2 are fixed together. In this state, when the sliding surface 6b and the matching surface 5a are opposite, Figure 6 As shown, when the installer holds the machine body 1 and rotates it, the installation body 3 will exert a force on the sliding surface 6b through the connection between the matching surface 5a and the upper end surface of the installation plate 3a to push the latch 6 to slide, that is, the installation body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 rotate relative to each other, so that the outlet direction of the machine body 1 / the direction of the washing machine interface can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the operating handle 10 is pulled in the opposite direction to rotate the latch 6 until the anti-rotation surface 6a is opposite to the matching surface 5a. Figure 5 As shown, the anti-rotation surface 6a cooperates with the mating surface 5a to fix the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the two when the food waste disposer is working. Whether during or after the adjustment, the operating handle 10 can be limited by the limit block 12 to ensure that the operating handle 10 will not move unexpectedly.

Specifically, the slot 5 is arranged on the lower end surface of the anti-rotation sleeve 4, and the upper end surface of the mounting body 3 is provided with a mounting hole 8, and the spring 7 and the latch 6 are arranged in the mounting hole 8. A movable groove 9 is provided through the side of the mounting body 3, and the movable groove 9 is connected with the mounting hole 8. An operating handle 10 is fixed on the side of the latch 6 and extends out of the movable groove 9. The operating handle 10 can move along the movable groove 9 and drive the latch 6 to rotate. A clearance groove 11 is also provided on the side of the mounting body 3, and the clearance groove 11 is connected with the movable groove 9 from top to bottom. When the anti-rotation sleeve 4 pushes the latch 6 to slide through the sliding surface 6b, the operating handle 10 can move into the clearance groove 11. A limiting block 12 is fixed on the upper groove wall of the movable groove 9, and a clearance greater than the height of the limiting block 12 is provided between the groove wall on the side of the movable groove 9 opposite to the side wall where the limiting block 12 is located (i.e., the lower groove wall of the movable groove 9) and the operating handle 10. When the mounting body 3 and the anti-rotation sleeve 4 are fixed along the circumferential direction, the operating handle 10 is located on one side of the limiting block 12, and when the mounting body 3 can rotate relative to the anti-rotation sleeve 4, the operating handle 10 is located on the other side of the limiting block 12.
