[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that:
[0030] The stabilizing support assembly 1 comprises a threaded sleeve 1-2 fixedly installed on the side support 14, and a threaded rod 1-1 is arranged in the threaded sleeve 1-2. A support base 1-3 is installed below the side support 14, and two left and right support blocks 1-6 with pointed ends are arranged at the lower part of the support base 1-3. The upper part of the support block 1-6 is connected with the support base 1-3 through an outer side support arm 1-4 and a connecting arm 1-7, and the middle part of the support block 1-6 is connected with the support base 1-3 through an inner side support arm 1-5.

[0031] Specifically, the upper end of the connecting arm 1-7 is hingedly connected with the outer end of the outer side support arm 1-4, the lower end of the connecting arm 1-7 is hingedly connected with the upper end of the support block 1-6, the upper end of the outer side support arm 1-4 is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft which penetrates the support base 1-3, a swing arm is fixedly installed at the middle part of the rotating shaft, the lower end of the swing arm is hingedly connected with the outer end of the inner arm 1-8, the inner end of the inner arm 1-8 is hingedly connected with the side of the lifting block 1-9, the middle part of the inner side support arm 1-5 is hingedly connected with the bottom of the support base 1-3, the upper end of the inner side support arm 1-5 is fixedly connected with the side wall of the support base 1-3, and the lower end of the inner side support arm 1-5 is hingedly connected with the upper end of the support block 1-6.
