Finally, the second limiting rod 25 is inserted into the ear hole 41 of the ear plate 10 and the first side plate 8. The radial positioning of the first limiting rod 24 is achieved through the third groove 211 and the second groove 271.

[0039] Furthermore, the first guardrail 22 and the second guardrail 23 are both disposed close to the positioning frame 21, and the top of the first guardrail 22 and the second guardrail 23 are both provided with a slot 221.

[0040] Specifically, in actual operation, after the first perforated plate 4 is placed close to the positioning frame 21, the first perforated plate 4 is inserted into the slot 221 to position the first perforated plate 4 and ensure its stability.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first support leg 32 includes at least a pair of first support rods 321, and the pair of first support rods 321 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third limiting rod 31.

[0042] Specifically, two first support rods 321 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third limiting rod 31, and the third perforated plate 6 is placed on top of the two first support rods 321 to support the third perforated plate 6 and prevent it from rotating. Similarly, the second support leg 33 includes at least one pair of second support rods 331, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third limiting rod 31. The fourth perforated plate 7 is supported by the two second support rods 331.

[0043] Furthermore, the positioning frame 21 is provided with an installation port 212 that cooperates with the third limiting rod 31, and the two ends of the third limiting rod 31 are provided with a third support plate 28, and the third support plate 28 is provided with a fourth groove 281.

[0044] Specifically, during actual installation, the third limiting rod 31 needs to pass through the positioning frame 21, and both ends of the third limiting rod 31 are then fixed by the third support plate 28 to limit the height of the third limiting rod 31. Similarly, the top of the third support plate 28 is provided with a fourth groove 281 for radial positioning of the third limiting rod 31.
