[0040] Working principle: By opening a limiting hole 3 on the lower frame 1, a positioning assembly surface is provided. A positioning frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting hole 3. An installation groove 5 is formed between the positioning frames 4, which serves as the accurate installation space for the ball bearing 7. A connecting groove 6 is opened on the positioning frame 4. After the ball bearing 7 is installed, the upper frame 9 is placed on the top closed structure of the positioning frame 4. The upper frame 9 is also provided with a limiting hole 10 for positioning and assistance. The structure is then assembled by connecting the connecting column 8 and the connecting groove 6. This structure improves the speed of assembly, the accuracy of positioning, and the assembly effect, meeting the needs of the staff.
