[0041] For example, the connecting part is four, the lifting structure 600 is also four, the frame 700 is rectangular, the connecting parts are respectively located at the four corners of the frame 700, the four lifting structures 600 are distributed in a rectangular shape, when the motors 610 of the four lifting structures 600 are started synchronously, the frame 700 can be moved upward or downward, when the motors 610 of the four lifting structures 600 are started asynchronously or individually, the frame 700 can be set to be inclined.
