Both the height adjusting device 4 and the angle adjusting device 5 adopt a worm gear and worm structure, and can be adjusted by throttle 402 and throttle 501 respectively. The mounting box 6 is used to install and fix the set-top box. When it is necessary to remove / install the set-top box, pressing the small block 614 disengages the stop block 610 from the small block 614, causing the top plate 609 to pop up, thus completing the removal / installation.
[0021] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the mounting box 6 includes a base plate 601 and a top plate 609. L-shaped baffles 602 are symmetrically arranged on the top sides of the base plate 601. Each baffle 602 includes a vertically arranged vertical section 6021 and a horizontal section 6022. The two vertical sections 6021 are located on the top sides of the base plate 601, and the two horizontal sections 6022 are located at one end of the base plate 601. A gap is provided between the two horizontal sections 6022. One end of the top plate 609 is connected to the two horizontal sections 6022. The vertical section 6021 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 609. A groove 603 is provided at the top of the vertical section 6021, and a spring-loaded device is provided in the groove 603. The spring-loaded device is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 609. A stop block 610 is provided at the bottom of the end of the top plate 609 away from the horizontal section 6022. One of the stop blocks 610 has a locking block 618 at its bottom. A locking device is slidably provided in the bottom plate 601 along the length of the vertical section 6021. The locking device locks the locking block 618. The pop-up device includes a fixed rod 606 and a connecting rod 608. The fixed rod 606 is disposed in the groove 603 along the length of the vertical section 6021. A compression spring 605 is sleeved on one end of the fixed rod 606 near the horizontal section 6022. A slider 607 is provided on the other end of the compression spring 605 away from the horizontal section 6022. The slider 607 is slidably disposed on the fixed rod 606. The two ends of the connecting rod 608 are rotatably connected to the slider 607 and the bottom of the top plate 609, respectively. The base plate 601 has a large cavity 615 and a small cavity 617 along the horizontal direction. The top of the base plate 601 has a connecting cavity 616. The large cavity 615 connects to the small cavity 617, and the small cavity 617 connects to the connecting cavity 616 and the outside. A spring 611 is provided in the large cavity 615 at the end away from the small cavity 617. A large block 612 is slidably provided in the large cavity 615 near the end of the small cavity 617. A small block 614 is slidably provided in the small cavity 617. The small block 614 is fixedly connected to the large block 612. A triangular locking block 613 is provided in the large block 612 near the end of the small cavity 617. The triangular locking block 613 engages with the locking block 618. The horizontal section 6022 and the stop block 610 abut against the front and rear of the set-top box, while the two vertical sections 6021 abut against the left and right sides of the set-top box. Together, these components secure the set-top box between the top plate 609 and the bottom plate 601. The compression spring 605 is always compressed; without external force, it will push the slider 607 to the right, and the connecting rod 608 will push the top plate 609 to flip upwards. The stop block 610 is T-shaped, and its bottom shape can cooperate with the triangular locking block 613. The distribution of the large cavity 615, the connecting cavity 616, and the small cavity 617 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, when the small block 614 is pressed to the left, the triangular locking block 613 will move to the left and slide into the large cavity 615. When it is fully slid into the large cavity 615, the triangular locking block 613 will disengage from the stop block 610, and the stop block 610 will move upward under the action of the pop-up device. When there is no external force, the spring 611 pushes the large block 612 to the right, causing the triangular locking block 613 to abut against the stop block 610 (when it is located in the connecting cavity 616). When the top plate 609 is pressed down, the oblique surfaces of the stop block 610 and the triangular locking block 613 squeeze each other, causing the triangular locking block 613 to move to the left until the oblique surfaces of the two disengage. At the same time, the triangular locking block 613 begins to rebound, and the upper top surface of the stop block 610 and the lower bottom surface of the triangular locking block 613 fit together to complete the locking and prevent it from moving upward under the action of the pop-up device. It should be noted that the width of the connecting cavity 616 is slightly larger than the width of the stop 610, and its curvature can accommodate the rotation trajectory of the stop 610. A certain gap is provided between the two horizontal sections 6022, through which the wiring on the back of the set-top box can be connected. A gap is also provided between the two stops 610 for displaying indicator lights, etc. The top plate 609 and the bottom plate 601 can be hollowed out or have heat dissipation fins added to achieve heat dissipation.
[0022] like Figure 2As shown, the support rod 2 has through grooves 201 on its two mutually distant side walls, and the adjustment rod 3 has limiting blocks 303 on its two mutually distant side walls at the bottom. The limiting blocks 303 are slidably disposed in the through grooves 201, and the adjustment rod 3 has a limiting ring 301 in the middle. The support rod 2 has an opening 202 on one of its side walls that does not have the through groove 201. The height adjustment device 4 is provided on the opening 202. The height adjustment device 4 includes a housing 401. A worm gear 403 is rotatably provided vertically inside the housing 401. A worm wheel 404 is rotatably provided on the side wall of the housing 401. A gear 405 is fixed on the worm wheel 404. A portion of the gear 405 is located between the openings 202. The worm gear 403 meshes with the worm wheel 404. The adjustment rod 3 has a rack 302 along its length. The gear 405 meshes with the rack 302. The rack 302 is located between the limiting block 303 and the limiting ring 301. One end of the worm gear 403 passes through the housing 401 and is provided with a throttle handle 402. The top of the adjusting rod 3 has a recessed portion, within which a second worm gear 502 and a second worm wheel 503 are horizontally arranged. The two ends of the second worm gear 502 are rotatably connected to the adjusting rod 3. The second worm wheel 503 is rotatably disposed within the recessed portion, and the second worm gear 502 meshes with the second worm wheel 503. One end of the second worm gear 502 passes through the adjusting rod 3 and has a throttle handle 501. The top of the second worm gear 502 is fixedly fitted with the mounting box 6. The bottom of the base 1 is equipped with multiple rollers 101. It should be noted that the length of the rack 302 must be appropriate to ensure it does not disengage from the gear 405. The limiting block 303 and the limiting ring 301 ensure that the adjusting rod 3 does not disengage from the support rod 2. The first throttle handle 402 and the second throttle handle 501 can be replaced with a motor, which can be controlled by a control unit, which in turn is controlled by the user's remote control.
[0023] Working principle: When installing the set-top box, rotate the first handle 402 to adjust the vertical height of the adjusting rod 3 to a suitable height. Then, place the set-top box into the gap between the base plate 601 and the top plate 609. Press the top plate 609 to engage the stop block 610 and the triangular locking block 613, thus fixing the set-top box in the gap. Rotate the second handle 501 to adjust the angle of the mounting box 6, making it easier for the user to control the set-top box via the remote control. When it is necessary to remove the set-top box, press the small block 614 to disengage the stop block 610 and the triangular locking block 613. The top plate 609 rotates upward under the action of the pop-up device, allowing the set-top box to be removed.
