[0046] Specifically, the side end surface 34 is provided with an indication mark 35, which can provide indication for the guiding operation of the pressing action of the operator. Exemplarily, the indication mark 35 can be arranged as an arrow pointing to the groove bottom of the accommodating groove 21, so as to prompt the operator to press the lock body 3 inward to release the clamping between the coil seat 2 and the base 1.

[0047] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the operation part includes a pressing groove 36 arranged on the side end surface 34. The fingers of the operator are inserted into the pressing groove 36, and the lock body 3 is forced by pressing the groove bottom of the pressing groove 36, so as to push the clamping head 31 out of the clamping hole 11 to release the clamping between the clamping head 31 and the clamping hole 11, and realize unlocking of the coil seat 2.

[0048] In some other alternative embodiments, the operation part further includes a pressing convex head protruding from the side end surface 34, and the fingers of the operator can also realize the force on the lock body 3 by directly pressing the pressing convex head.

[0049] Specifically, the groove bottom of the pressing groove 36 is provided with an anti-skid rib 361, and the groove opening of the pressing groove 36 is provided with an anti-falling rib 37. The anti-skid rib 361 can increase the friction force between the fingers of the operator and the groove bottom of the pressing groove 36, and the anti-falling rib 37 is used to prevent the fingers of the operator from accidentally falling out of the pressing groove 36 during pressing.
