The mounting hole is used to connect the side wings of the mounting plate. Bolts are used to form a connection installation at the position of the mounting hole, and the gasket is fixed around the mounting hole at the top of the mounting plate. In this way, the gasket plays the purpose of cushioning protection, thereby improving the connection stability during the installation process;

[0016] (3) By opening the heat dissipation hole on one side of the top of the connector body, and the vertical position of the heat dissipation hole is adapted to the servo motor, it can be used for air circulation at the servo motor position. At the same time, a mounting ring is installed at the top of the connector body at the peripheral position of the heat dissipation hole. At this time, the dust net can be used for dust prevention. The connection and installation between the mounting ring and the connector body are completed by screws.
