DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] As disclosed in the background technology, the existing support columns are usually installed and fixed by screws. Specifically, the screws are usually passed through the bottom of the support column and the chassis in sequence, so as to fix the support column and the chassis together. However, during actual assembly, it is first necessary to align the support column with the chassis so that the screw holes of the two are aligned, which is convenient for inserting the screws. The usual practice is to hold the support column by hand or other clamps to ensure the stability and reliability of the support column, and then drive the screws in. However, due to installation errors, this method often causes deviations in the alignment between the screw holes, resulting in the inability to smoothly pass through the corresponding screw holes when the screws are driven in, which makes it difficult to install the screws, and makes the connection of the support column difficult, reducing the assembly efficiency of the whole machine.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a new type of shell support column 100, which can be pre-fixed by clamping, making it convenient to install screws. In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
