Longitudinal bolts 4 are respectively inserted into the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13, and the bolts 4 are respectively screwed and fixed inside the front and rear ends of the connecting pipe 3.

[0023] The width of the connection plate 11 is smaller than the width of the metal side plate 1, and the front side of the connection plate 11 is flush with the front side of the metal side plate 1;

[0024] A reinforcement concave platform 17 extending to the rear side plate 13 is formed on the connection plate 11, and a number of vertically distributed waist-shaped holes 18 are formed on the reinforcement concave platform 17. The reinforcement concave platform 17 can increase the strength of the part of the connection plate 11 with the waist-shaped holes 18.

[0025] The outer wall of the front side of the square tube 2 abuts against the front side plate 12, and the inner side walls of the jacks 14 respectively abut against the outer wall of the square tube 2; the jacks 14 can position the position of the square tube 2.

[0026] The front end face of the connecting frame 15 is formed with a positioning hole 16 opposite to the connecting tube 3; the positioning hole 16 is used to position the connecting tube 3; the front plate 12 and the rear plate 13 are respectively formed with bolt through holes 110 opposite to the bolt 4.

[0027] The connecting pipe 3 consists of a front connecting pipe 31 and a rear connecting pipe 32. The front connecting pipe 31 is inserted into the square pipe 2 and the connecting frame 15.

[0031] The rear side plate 13 on the rear side of the metal side plate 1 is inclined. A sealing washer 5 is held between the rear side plate 13 and the head of the bolt 4. Because the rear side plate 13 is inclined, the head of the bolt 4 is effectively pressed onto the rear side plate 13 after being compressed by the sealing washer 5.

[0032] Working principle: The structure consists of metal parts, namely square tubes and support frames on the seat frame. The square tubes 2 are inserted into the insertion holes 14 of the support frames. The insertion holes 14 are surrounded by connecting frame frames 15 to support and position the square tubes 2.

[0033] Meanwhile, a connecting pipe 3 is provided inside the support frame.
