In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0050] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0051] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature.

[0053] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the present application provides a frame structure 1000, including a guide assembly 100, a transfer assembly 200 and a locking assembly 300. The guide assembly 100 has a first beam 110. The transfer assembly 200 includes a frame body 210 and a second beam 220 connected to each other. The frame body 210 is used to carry materials 2000. The second beam 220 and the first beam 110 are slidably connected along a first direction, thereby driving the frame body 210 carrying the materials 2000 to move relative to the first beam 110 along the first direction.

[0055] The frame 210 has a locking position relative to the guide assembly 100. When the frame 210 moves to the locking position, the locking assembly 300 locks the frame 210 and the guide assembly 100, thereby locking the material 2000 on the conductor beam assembly. The first beam 110 and the second beam 220 are used to achieve precise guidance during the sliding process of the transfer assembly 200, and the locking assembly 300 makes the assembly positioning of the material 2000 more precise. Thus, a frame structure 1000 with a simple structure and low cost is provided, which achieves precise guidance and precise assembly of the transfer assembly 200.

[0056] It is understandable that when the frame structure 1000 is assembled on a vehicle, the guide assembly 100 can be assembled on a fixed position of the vehicle, so that the material 2000 such as a new energy battery to be assembled on the vehicle can be locked on the guide beam through structural matching. Of course, the frame structure 1000 can also be assembled on other equipment, which is not limited in this application.

[0057] Specifically, see Figures 3 to 5 The first crossbeam 110 has a first inclined surface 1101 facing the second crossbeam 220, and the second crossbeam 220 has a second inclined surface 2201 facing the first crossbeam 110. The first inclined surface 1101 and the second inclined surface 2201 are slidably fitted along a first direction. The coordinate axis Y axis in the figure is the first direction in the present application. The first inclined surface 1101 is arranged in an "Λ" shape, and the second crossbeam 220 is also arranged in an "Λ" shape. Through the action of the "Λ"-shaped inclined surface, the first crossbeam 110 can slide on the second crossbeam 220 along the first direction, i.e., the Y direction, thereby realizing the guidance of the adapter assembly 200 and the guide assembly 100 in the Y direction.

[0058] Furthermore, the guide assembly 100 further includes a guide member 130, which is disposed between the first inclined surface 1101 and the second inclined surface 2201 and extends along the first direction. Figure 3 As shown, the guide member 130 is attached to the first inclined surface 1101 or fixed to the first beam 110 by a structure such as a fastening bolt. Therefore, when the first beam 110 and the second beam 220 slide relative to each other in the first direction, the sliding friction coefficient of the first beam 110 and the second beam 220 is reduced to reduce the sliding resistance between the first beam 110 and the second beam 220, so that the guidance and assembly of the adapter assembly 200 are more accurate. Preferably, the guide member 130 can be a slide plate 250, and the material of the slide plate 250 can be a non-metallic material or other materials, which is not limited in this application.

[0059] In one embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the frame 210 includes a first support beam 2101 and a second support beam 2102 arranged at intervals, and a plurality of third support beams 2103 intersecting and arranged with the first support beam 2101 and the second support beam 2102 and spaced from each other, the second cross beam 220 is connected to one side of the frame 210, and the first support beam 2101, the second support beam 2102 and all the third support beams 2103 define a mounting position for supporting the material 2000 on the side opposite to the second cross beam 220. When in use, the material 2000 is placed on the mounting position, and the mounting position is turned toward the side opposite to the second cross beam 220 so that the second cross beam 220 overlaps the first cross beam 110, thereby facilitating the next step of moving the frame 210.

[0060] The main purpose of forming the installation position is to provide a location for the material 2000 to be installed and fixed. The frame 210 is composed of multiple beams (including a first support beam 2101, a second support beam 2102 and multiple third support beams 2103), forming an installation position with a planar structure on the surface. Materials 2000 of different specifications or sizes can find a suitable position on the plane for fixation, that is, the frame 210 has a wider applicability to materials 2000 of different specifications or sizes.

[0061] In one embodiment, see Figures 5 to 7 The guide assembly 100 includes a plurality of bottom brackets 120 spaced apart along the second direction, and the third support beam 2103 and the second cross beam 220 are slidably connected to different bottom brackets 120 along the first direction. When the first cross beam 110 and the second cross beam 220 slide relative to each other along the first direction, the third support beam 2103 slides relative to the bottom bracket 120, thereby achieving the overall synchronous displacement of the locking assembly 300, and the arrangement of the plurality of bottom brackets 120 provides multi-point support for the transfer assembly 200, making the movement of the frame body 210 more stable.

[0062] Specifically, the coordinate axis X in FIG. 7 is the second direction in the present application, thereby achieving planar support for the frame 210 .

[0063] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 300 includes a first stopper 310, and the adapter assembly 200 includes a second stopper 230. The second stopper 230 is connected to the frame 210 and is located on one side of one of the third support beams 2103 in the first direction. When the frame 210 moves to the locking position, the second stopper 230 moves with the frame 210 to the first stopper 310 and is fixed to the first stopper 310 to limit the adapter assembly 200 from continuing to move in the first direction, thereby limiting the frame 210 in the first direction and the second direction. When the first stopper 310 and the second stopper 230 are fixed together, the frame 210 cannot move in the first direction. Figure 2 Move on the plane formed by the X-axis and Y-axis.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, each bottom bracket 120 includes a rear end plate 121 extending along the third direction and a front end plate 122 extending along the first direction, and the first crossbeam 110 is connected to the front end plate 122 of one of the bottom brackets 120. The frame structure 1000 also includes a supporting crossbeam 140, which is arranged on the front end plate 122 of another bottom bracket 120 and the two define a guide channel T1 extending along the first direction. The first limiter 310 is located at one end of the guide channel T1, and the third direction is intersected with the first direction. The coordinate axis Z axis in the figure is the third direction in this application. When the first crossbeam 110 and the second crossbeam 220 slide relative to each other along the first direction, the second limiter 230 slides along the guide channel T1, thereby limiting the movement of the adapter assembly 200 along the third direction. After the second limiter 230 continues to move, it can be fixed with the first limiter 310.

[0065] The rear end plate 121 is the limit position of the guide channel T1, and one end of the first stopper 310 can be close to the rear end plate 121, and the other end can be connected to the guide channel T1, so that the second stopper 230 is locked on the first stopper 310 when it moves to the side close to the rear end plate 121. In some embodiments, the first stopper 310 and the second stopper 230 can be set to a card slot card convex form, or can be set to an elastic card connection form, which is not limited in this application.

[0066] Furthermore, if Figure 4 The adapter assembly 200 also includes a slide plate 250, which is connected to one of the third support beams 2103, and a second limiter 230 is provided at one end of the slide plate 250 in the first direction. When the first beam 110 and the second beam 220 slide relatively along the first direction, the second beam 220 drives the frame 210 to move, and the frame 210 drives the slide plate 250 and the second limiter 230 to move, so that the second limiter 230 and the slide plate 250 enter the guide channel T1 in turn. At this time, the slide plate 250 is limited in the guide channel T1, thereby limiting the movement of the frame 210 in the second direction and the third direction. At this time, the slide plate 250 and the second limiter 230 can only move along the extension direction of the guide channel T1, that is, the first direction.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 4The adapter assembly 200 further includes a fourth stopper 240, and the fourth stopper 240 and the second stopper 230 are disposed on opposite sides of the slide plate 250 in the first direction. When the first crossbeam 110 and the second crossbeam 220 slide relatively along the first direction, the second stopper 230, the slide plate 250, and the fourth stopper 240 sequentially enter the guide channel T1 and slide along the first direction. When the second stopper 230 is fixedly matched with the first stopper 310, the fourth stopper 240 and the support crossbeam 140 are fixedly limited in the third direction, thereby realizing the limitation of the frame 210 in the third direction.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 7 The locking assembly 300 further includes a third stopper 320, which is connected to the rear plate 121. When the frame 210 moves to the locking position, the third stopper 320 is pressed against the frame 210 to limit the transfer assembly 200 in the third direction, so that the third stopper 320 cooperates with the first stopper 310 to limit the freedom of the frame 210 in the three-dimensional space of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis, so that the frame 210 can be stably locked on the guide frame assembly 100.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The bottom bracket 120 includes three bottom brackets 120, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the second direction. The first crossbeam 110 is arranged on the middle bottom bracket 120, and the bottom brackets 120 on both sides are provided with locking assemblies 300. The middle bottom bracket 120 provides an installation base for the first crossbeam 110 for guiding, and the bottom brackets 120 on both sides are used to provide an installation base for the locking assembly 300 for fixing the adapter assembly 200. When the second crossbeam 220 drives the frame 210 to move along the first direction, the first limiter 310 synchronously moves to the side of the locking assembly 300, and cooperates with the second limiter 230 to be fixed. At the same time, the third limiter 320 is pressed on the frame 210, and the fourth limiter 240 is cooperated with the supporting crossbeam 140 to be fixed, thereby realizing all-round locking of the adapter assembly 200.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the transfer assembly 200 includes two, each transfer assembly 200 has a second crossbeam 220 and a frame 210, the first crossbeam 110 is provided at both ends of the first direction of the guide assembly 100, the first crossbeam 110 and the second crossbeam 220 are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence, and the bottom bracket 120 is provided at both ends of the first direction of the guide assembly 100, and the bottom brackets 120 are connected to each other through a connecting plate 123. Therefore, the transfer assembly 200 is provided on both sides of the guide assembly 100 in the first direction, forming two installation positions, and the material 2000 can be locked synchronously on both sides of the first direction.

[0071] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The locking assembly 300 also includes a shell 330 and a support assembly 340. The shell 330 has an installation groove 3301. The first limit member 310 is assembled in the installation groove 3301 and has a locking position that is fixed with the second limit member 230 and an unlocking position that is separated from the second limit member 230. The first limit member 310 can be rotated relative to the shell 330 in the installation groove 3301 under force to switch between the locking position and the unlocking position.

[0072] When the first position-limiting member 310 is switched to the locked position, the second position-limiting member 230 and the first position-limiting member 310 are locked, and the frame 210 also moves to the locked position. When the first position-limiting member 310 is switched to the unlocked position, the second position-limiting member 230 and the first position-limiting member 310 are separated, and the frame 210 is unlocked relative to the guide assembly 100. The support portion 3401 is disposed in the mounting groove 3301, and the support portion 3401 has a support portion 3401 that can move toward or away from the first position-limiting member 310 in the mounting groove 3301. When the first position-limiting member 310 is switched to the locked position, the support portion 3401 moves between the first position-limiting member 310 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301 to support the first position-limiting member 310 in the locked position. When the first position-limiting member 310 is switched to the unlocked position, the support portion 3401 moves to completely separate from the first position-limiting member 310, thereby removing the supporting force.

[0073] In this way, when the first limit member 310 is not subjected to force, the first limit member 310 is stationary at the unlocked position, and the locking assembly 300 is in the unlocked state. Fig.10 and Fig.11 At this time, a force is applied to the first stopper 310 to rotate it relative to the housing 330 to the locking position and the second stopper 230 is locked in cooperation. Then, the first stopper 310 is fixed in the locking position by moving the support portion 3401 between the first stopper 310 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301 for support. At this time, the locking assembly 300 is in a locked state. Fig.12 When the second stopper 230 needs to be separated from the first stopper 310, the support portion 3401 is controlled to move in the reverse direction, and the first stopper 310 loses the support force of the support portion 3401 and rotates in the reverse direction from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby easily realizing the locking and unlocking of the adapter assembly 200 by the locking assembly 300.

[0074] Optionally, in one embodiment, Fig.13The first stopper 310 includes a locking groove 3102 and an opening communicating with the locking groove 3102. When the first stopper 310 switches from the unlocked position to the locked position, the second stopper 230 enters through the opening and is fixed in the locking groove 3102. When the first stopper 310 switches from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second stopper 230 disengages from the locking groove 3102 from the opening.

[0075] In this way, the opening locking groove 3102 and the opening direction thereof are changed by rotating the first limit member 310. In the process of the second limit member 230 gradually approaching the locking groove 3102, the first limit member 310 gradually rotates from the unlocking position to the locking position until the second limit member 230 slowly enters the locking groove 3102 from the opening and is locked. When the second limit member 230 is locked in the locking groove 3102, the support portion 3401 is withdrawn. At this time, the locking member gradually rotates from the locking position to the end position due to the action of gravity, and the second limit member 230 gradually disengages from the opening to the locking groove 3102. At this time, the second limit member 230 and the frame 210 are unlocked.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first position-limiting member 310 has an action end 3101, and the action end 3101 is rotatably connected to the housing 330. The action end 3101 is subjected to force to drive the first position-limiting member 310 to rotate relative to the housing 330 to switch from the unlocked position to the locked position. When the second position-limiting member 230 needs to be locked on the first position-limiting member 310, it is only necessary to transmit an action force externally so that the action end 3101 is subjected to force to drive the first position-limiting member 310 to rotate as a whole.

[0077] Preferably, in actual assembly, when the adapter assembly 200 and the guide assembly 100 are away from each other, the material 2000 is assembled to the installation position, and a force is applied to make the second crossbeam 220 slide relative to the first crossbeam 110, so that the frame 210 moves linearly along the positive direction Y toward the side close to the rear end plate 121, until the second limit member 230 gradually approaches the action end 3101 of the first limit member 310 until it abuts against the action end 3101, and then the adapter assembly is continued to be moved. 200, the second stopper 230 will apply a force to the action end 3101 to drive the first stopper 310 to rotate relative to the housing 330, and the locking groove 3102 and its opening will gradually fit with the second stopper 230, so that the second stopper 230 directly enters the locking groove 3102 through the opening during the movement. At this time, the support part 3401 is moved between the first stopper 310 and the bottom wall of the installation groove 3301, and the adapter assembly 200 is locked. The unlocking process is the opposite, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] Specifically, a pin can be provided to realize rotational connection between the action end 3101 and the housing 330. Further, the first position-limiting member 310 also includes a rotating end 3103 arranged opposite to the action end 3101, and the action end 3101 is driven by force to rotate the rotating end 3103 relative to the housing 330, and the action end 3101 and the rotating end 3103 are surrounded to form a mounting groove 3301. When the first position-limiting member 310 is located in the unlocking position, the rotating end 3103 is located in the mounting groove 3301 and contacts the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301. When the first position-limiting member 310 is located in the locking position, the rotating end 3103 rotates around the pin to disengage from the mounting groove 3301, and at this time, the control support portion 3401 is supported and arranged between the rotating end 3103 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301, thereby realizing the state switching of the first position-limiting member 310.

[0079] In one embodiment, the support portion 3401 may be a cushion block or other forms of structures, which is not limited in the present application.

[0080] In one embodiment, the locking assembly 300 further includes an operating member 360, which is connected to the support portion 3401. A sliding groove 3302 is correspondingly provided on the side wall of the housing 330, and the operating member 360 can be slidably inserted into the sliding groove 3302. The operating member 360 has a first limit position and a second limit position in the sliding groove 3302. When the operating member 360 is located at the first limit position, the support portion 3401 is separated from the first limit member 310. When the operating member 360 is located at the second limit position, the support portion 3401 is supported between the first limit member 310 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301. In this way, the first limit position and the second limit position limit the movement of the support portion 3401 in the mounting groove 3301, restricting its limit position, so that the movement process of the support portion 3401 is reproducible, that is, in each switching process, the support portion 3401 can reach the same position.

[0081] Furthermore, the operating member 360 can slide back and forth between the first limit position and the second limit position in the sliding groove 3302 , and the user can manually control the operating member 360 to achieve automatic movement of the support portion 3401 .

[0082] In one embodiment, the support assembly 340 further includes a driving mechanism 3402, which is drivingly connected to the support portion 3401 to drive the support portion 3401 to move toward or away from the first limit member 310 in the installation groove 3301, so that when the first limit member 310 rotates to the locking position, the driving mechanism 3402 drives the support portion 3401 to automatically move and drive the operating member 360 to move to the second limit position, at which time the support portion 3401 is supported between the rotating end 3103 and the bottom wall of the installation groove 3301. When it is necessary to release the locking state of the locking assembly 300 and the guide assembly 100, the driving mechanism 3402 drives the support portion 3401 to automatically move away from the first limit member 310 until the limit member moves to the first limit position, at which time the supporting force of the rotating end 3103 disappears, and the rotation is generated to separate from the second limit member 230, thereby realizing the automatic locking and automatic unlocking of the second limit member 230 and the first limit member 310.

[0083] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 3402 includes a power source 34021 and an elastic member 34022, and the elastic member 34022 is connected between the transmission member 3403 and the power source 34021. The power source 34021 is configured to drive the transmission member 3403 to move toward an end away from the first limiting member 310 so that the elastic member 34022 is elastically deformed to store an elastic restoring force that enables the transmission member 3403 to drive the operating member 360 to move to the second limit position.

[0084] Specifically, when the locking assembly 300 needs to be disengaged from the adapter assembly 200, the power source 34021 drives the transmission member 3403 to move toward the end away from the first limit member 310 until the transmission member 3403 drives the operating member 360 to move to the first extreme position. At this time, the elastic member 34022 is elastically deformed due to the movement of the transmission member 3403, thereby accumulating elastic restoring force.

[0085] If it is necessary to lock the locking assembly 300 and the second limit member 230 again, the power source 34021 is turned off. At this time, the elastic restoring force is released, and the driving transmission member 3403 automatically drives the support part 3401 to move to the side close to the first limit member 310. At this time, the transmission member 3403 drives the operating member 360 to move to the second extreme position and then stops. The support frame is supported between the first limit member 310 located in the locking position and the bottom wall of the installation groove 3301, thereby realizing the automatic switching of the locking assembly 300 between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0086] Furthermore, the elastic restoring force drives the transmission member 3403 to automatically drive the support part 3401 to move toward the side close to the first limit member 310, and drives the operating member 360 to move to the second extreme position. At this time, the elastic restoring force can be completely released or not completely released, and the present application does not make any limitation on this. The elastic member 34022 can be a spring or other structure, and the present application does not make any limitation on this.

[0087] In one embodiment, the power source 34021 is an electromagnet, and the transmission member 3403 is an iron core. The electromagnet is powered on to drive the iron core to move toward the end away from the first limit member 310, and at this time, the elastic member 34022 accumulates elastic restoring force. If the electromagnet is powered off, the iron core is no longer subjected to force. At this time, driven by the elastic restoring force, the iron core drives the support part 3401 and the operating member 360 to move, and the entire locking process is completed when the electromagnet is powered off.

[0088] In one embodiment, the locking assembly 300 further includes a signal component 350 and a controller (not shown in the figure). When the first limiter 310 is in the locked position, the signal component 350 sends a locking success signal to the controller, and the controller controls the electromagnet to cut off the power. When the support portion 3401 and the first limiter 310 are separated from each other, the signal switch sends an unlocking success signal to the controller, the first limiter 310 rotates to the unlocking position, and the controller controls the second limiter 230 to move away from the first limiter 310. Thus, through the control of the signal component 350 and the controller, automatic control is fully realized, avoiding manual intervention.

[0089] Further, the signal component 350 includes a paddle 3501 and a switch member 3502, the transmission member 3403 is connected to the paddle 3501, and the switch member 3502 includes a locking micro switch 35021 and an unlocking micro switch 35022. When the transmission member 3403 moves toward the end away from the first limit member 310, the paddle 3501 moves synchronously with the transmission member 3403 and contacts the unlocking micro switch 35022 to send an unlocking success signal. When the transmission member 3403 moves between the first limit member 310 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3301, the paddle 3501 moves synchronously with the transmission member 3403 and contacts the locking micro switch 35021 to send a locking success signal.

[0090] Specifically, when the locking assembly 300 provided in the present application is in a locked state, if a special fault occurs, causing the electromagnet to malfunction, it can be unlocked manually by pushing the operating member 360 to move in the sliding groove 3302 to drive the support part 3401 to move to the side away from the first limit member 310, thereby replacing the role of the electromagnet and achieving easy disassembly.

[0091] The specific matching process of the frame structure 1000 provided in this application is as follows:

[0092] Locking process: The adapter assembly 200 moves from a distance along the positive direction Y toward the first limiter 310. When the second limiter 230 contacts the first limiter 310, the second limiter 230 will push the first limiter 310 to rotate upward until it is horizontal. At this time, the second limiter 230 cooperates with the locking groove 3102 of the first limiter 310; at the same time, the support part 3401 is pushed to the bottom of the first limiter 310 by the elastic restoring force of the elastic part 34022, and the operating part 360 follows the support part 3401 to move to the first limit position in the sliding groove 3302, thereby limiting the support part 3401. At this time, the third limiter 320 is pressed against the frame 210, the fourth limiter 240 is locked with the support beam 140, the paddle 3501 contacts the locking micro switch 35021, and the locking micro switch 35021 sends a locking success signal to the controller.

[0093] Unlocking process: When the locking assembly 300 is in the locked state, the power source 34021 works, such as energizing the electromagnet. At this time, the transmission member 3403 compresses the elastic member 34022 under the action of the electromagnetic force and moves to the side away from the first limit member 310, and at the same time drives the support part 3401 to move out from the lower part of the first limit member 310. At the same time, the transmission member 3403 pushes the paddle 3501 to move backward along the Y direction, and the paddle 3501 contacts the unlocking micro switch 35022, and the unlocking micro switch 35022 sends an unlocking success signal. When the controller receives the unlocking success signal, the second limit member 230 can be moved away from the first limit member 310 along the Y direction to disengage from the locking groove 3102. At this time, the third limit member 320 is separated from the frame 210, and the fourth limit member 240 is separated from the supporting beam 140 to achieve unlocking.

[0094] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0095] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
