[0039] Specifically, the locking rod 81 will not rotate along the axial direction. In the present application, the heating component 3 has at least one locking hole 31 parallel to the rotating shaft, and the locking rod 81 has a locking head 811 that cooperates with the locking hole 31. The locking rod 81 and the locking rod 81 can also lock the heating component 3 by cooperating with the prism and the prism hole. The locking rod 81 can also prevent the locking rod 81 from rotating in the form of cooperating with the prism and the prism hole. Specifically, in the present application, the rod body of the locking rod 81 is cylindrical, and the locking rod 81 has at least one locking head 811. When the locking rod 81 has a When the locking rod 81 has a locking head 811, the locking head 811 can pass through the heating component 3 and be inserted into the lifting frame 2, and the free rotation of the heating component 3 is restricted by restricting the free rotation of the locking rod 81. When the locking rod 81 has multiple locking heads 811, at least one of the locking heads 811 can pass through the heating component 3 and be inserted into the lifting frame 2. In the present application, the locking head 811 is separated from the heating component 3 by pressing the locking rod 81. A detachable pressing portion 82 is installed at the outer end of the locking rod 81, and the return spring 83 is restricted between the lifting frame 2 and the pressing portion 82.

The sliding lock 91 is reliably installed on the shell by clamping and limiting the panel 911 and the first limit block 913, and the lifting frame 2 is locked or released by sliding the sliding lock 91.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the guide limit groove also includes an inner guide groove 221 corresponding to the position of the outer guide groove 211 and an inner notch groove 222 arranged on the inner wall of the inner guide groove 221 and corresponding to the position of the outer notch groove 212. The second limit block connected to the first limit block 913 can engage with the inner notch groove 222. When in a locked state, the inner notch groove 222 can prevent the second limit block from sliding axially.

[0050] In a specific implementation, a flared portion 111 through which a locking arm can pass is provided in the middle portion of the through hole 11, and the flared portion 111 corresponds to the position of the outer notch groove 212. Based on the above structure, the first limit block 913 and the guide strip 912 can be integrally manufactured, and the outer shell is installed after the locking arm passes through the flared portion 111. The inner end of the locking arm abuts against the bottom surface of the inner guide groove 221. When unlocking, the first limit block 913 is abutted against the inner wall of the outer shell to prevent the sliding lock 91 from falling off. When locking, the second limit block cooperates with the inner notch groove 222 to prevent the sliding lock 91 from falling off, so that the sliding lock 91 is easy to install and stable and reliable during use.
