[0024] Among them, through the structural design of the second vertical rod 9 and the limiting plate 10, and through the mutual cooperation between the structures, the limiting function of the second rubber pad 11 is realized, thereby preventing the second rubber pad 11 from excessively releasing tension, and also preventing the second rubber pad 11 from being displaced and detached from the EUC mounting surface 3.

[0025] A second rubber pad 11 is movably mounted on the surface of the second vertical rod 9 , and a U-shaped through groove 12 is formed in the middle of the bottom of the second vertical rod 9 .

[0026] Among them, through the setting of the second rubber pad 11, it is convenient to cooperate with the first rubber pad 6 to partition the ECU shock absorption function, thereby evenly distributing the load, so as to more effectively absorb and disperse the vibration and impact force, and at the same time extend the service life of the rubber pad.
