[0014] (1) By fixing the side plate to both sides of the sensor base, a positioning rod is fixed at the bottom of the side plate, and an installation groove is formed in the connecting seat. The limiting post is installed and fixed on both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the installation groove. When assembling, the connecting seat is assembled from below.
