[0034] like Figure 3 - Figure 4As shown, the connecting assembly 4 includes a rotating seat 41 for cooperating with the connection of various components. The rotating seat 41 is rotatably connected to the carrier clamp 2. The rear part of the rotating seat 41 is provided with a connecting rod 42 for cooperating with the connection with the limit block 3. The rear part of the connecting rod 42 passes through the limit block 3 and is movably connected thereto. The rear part of the connecting rod 42 is provided with a limiting member 43 for cooperating with the limitation of the connecting assembly 4 for front and rear limitation.
