Background Art

[0002] The current needle base connector stacks multiple single pieces one by one, and then uses a stainless steel strip with positioning holes to press on both ends of the device to position and fix the multiple single pieces together. Due to size limitations, the strength of the stainless steel strip part itself is insufficient and it is prone to deformation, resulting in positional tolerance of the needle head of the needle base connector and cumulative assembly tolerance after assembly, and precise positioning cannot be performed. The currently used needle base connector cannot meet the requirements for precise positioning, stability, and durability. Summary of the Invention
