[0026] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the longitudinal driving mechanism includes a shaft seat 2 installed on the seat 1, an internal thread hole arranged in the shaft seat 2 along the vertical direction, and a screw rod I 3 screwed into the internal thread hole. The lower end of the screw rod I 3 is connected to the mounting seat at the upper end of the universal wheel 4. When the screw rod I 3 is rotated, the shaft seat 2 will move axially during rotation, thereby driving the G4 kitchen 6 to move upward through the base 7, making it convenient to move out. In this embodiment, a handle 5 is installed horizontally at the upper end of the screw rod I 3. The screw rod I 3 can be conveniently driven to rotate through the handle 5, improving the convenience of operation.
[0027] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the detachable mechanism can be of the following structure, which includes two ear plates I 8 and two ear plates II 15 arranged at the rear end of the base 7. The ear plates II 15 are located at the lower ends of the ear plates I 8. A through hole II 17 is arranged horizontally in the ear plates I 8, and the two through holes II 17 are coaxially arranged. A through hole IV 19 is arranged horizontally in the ear plates II 15, and the two through holes IV 19 are coaxially arranged. Two through holes III 18 are arranged on the seat 1, and the axes of the through holes III 18 are arranged horizontally. The seat 1 is located between the two ear plates I 8 and the two ear plates II 15. A steel ball quick-release pin 10 passes through the two through holes II 17 and the corresponding through holes III 18, and another steel ball quick-release pin 10 passes through the two through holes IV 19 and the corresponding through holes III 18. After the base 7 is fixed to the G4 kitchen 6, the seat 1 is inserted into the area between the two ear plates I 8 and the two ear plates II 15, so that the two through holes III 18 are respectively coaxially arranged with the through holes II 17 and the through holes IV 19. The steel ball quick-release pin 10 is passed through the two through holes II 17 and the corresponding through holes III 18, and another steel ball quick-release pin 10 is passed through the two through holes IV 19 and the corresponding through holes III 18, and the convenient connection between the base 7 and the seat 1 can be realized. When releasing, the steel ball quick-release pin 10 is pulled out to separate the base 7 from the seat 1.
[0028] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the locking mechanism can be of the following structure, which includes through holes I 16 respectively arranged at the four corners of the base 7. After the convex head 14 of the base 7 is inserted into the groove I 12, the screw 9 passes through the through hole I 16 and is screwed into the corresponding screw hole 13 at the G4 kitchen 6. The screw 9 can be used to conveniently fix the base 7 to the screw holes 13 that have been set around the groove I 12 area of the G4 kitchen 6. The installation and disassembly are convenient, improving the efficiency.
[0029] In one embodiment of the utility model, the connecting mechanism can be the following structure, which includes a groove II 20 that penetrates the base 7 and the protrusion 14 in the horizontal direction, a guide hole I 21 arranged at the upper end of the groove II 20, and a guide hole II 22 arranged at the lower end of the groove II 20. The axis of the guide hole I 21 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the guide hole II 22 is arranged coaxially with the guide hole I 21. The screw rod II 23 is inserted into the guide hole I 21, and the nut 24 is screwed on the screw rod II 23. The nut 24 is rotatably installed in the groove II 20. The lower end of the screw rod II 23 is coaxially provided with a pin 25, and the pin 25 is slidably inserted into the guide hole II 22. When the protrusion 14 of the base 7 is inserted into the groove I 12, the nut 24 is rotated to insert the pin 25 into the pin hole 11 corresponding to the lower end of the groove I 12 of the G4 kitchen 6. Since the groove II 20 is a through design, a wrench can be inserted into the groove II 20 to drive the nut 24 to rotate, and the plug 25 is inserted into the pin hole 11 to realize the quick connection between the base 7 and the G4 kitchen 6, and the front and rear directions are locked, making the connection structure more stable. The nut 24 can be rotated in the reverse direction to drive the plug 25 to move up, so that it is disengaged from the pin hole 11, thereby realizing quick unlocking.
