DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0024] A needle changing structure for a base plate, as shown in the figure, includes a base plate body 1, a movable needle 2 installed on the base plate body 1, and a spring piece 3 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the movable needle 2. One end of the spring piece 3 is fixed on the base plate body 1, and the other end of the spring piece 3 is its free end. The spring piece 3 is an elastic sheet structure whose free end can be moved and displaced. The free end of the spring piece 3 cooperates with the movable needle 2 and clamps the movable needle 2 on the base plate body 1. Example 2

[0025] The same as embodiment 1, except that a first clamping block 21 is provided at the lower part of the movable needle 2, and a second clamping block 31 is provided at the free end of the spring piece 3 to contact and cooperate with the first clamping block 21, and the second clamping block 31 is located above the first clamping block 21 and clamps the movable needle 2 on the bottom plate body 1.

[0026] The first clamping block 21 protrudes outwardly perpendicular to the axis of the moving needle 2 , and the outward protrusion distance of the first clamping block 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The cross section of the first clamping block 21 is a triangle. Example 3

[0027] The same as Example 1, the difference is that a slot 22 is also provided on the movable needle 2, and the slot 22 is located above the first clamping block 21, and the second clamping block 31 cooperates with the slot 22 and is placed in the slot 22; through the design of the first clamping block 21, the second clamping block 31 and the slot 22, and combined with the front-to-back symmetrical arrangement of the above structure, the movable needle 2 is fixed to the base plate body 1 by the spring piece 3.

[0028] The lower part of the elastic piece 3 is located between two adjacent moving needles 2, and the width of the lower part of the elastic piece 3 is smaller than the interval between two adjacent moving needles 2; the second clamping block 31 is located on the left or right side of the upper part of the elastic piece 3, and the second clamping block 31 extends into the clamping groove 22 to the left or right. Embodiment 4

[0029] Same as Embodiment 1, except that it further includes a connecting seat 4 fixed on the starting base plate body 1, and a plurality of elastic pieces 3 are arranged in sequence and fixedly installed on the connecting seat 4 to form a spring clip with the connecting seat 4; the elastic piece 3 and the connecting seat 4 are integrally formed.

[0030] There are two spring clips, and the two spring clips are respectively fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the starting base plate body 1 and clamp the moving needle 2 inward.
