It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, material composition, numerical expressions, and values ​​set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as exemplary only and not as limiting.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different parts. "Vertical" is not strictly vertical, but within the permissible margin of error. "Parallel" is not strictly parallel, but within the permissible margin of error. Terms such as "including" or "contains" mean that the element preceding the word encompasses the element listed after the word, and do not exclude the possibility of encompassing other elements as well.

[0034] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0035] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0036] The two systems are connected by a connection structure, which enables electrical and signal transmission between the two systems.

[0037] In related technologies, the connection structure includes a first part and a second part. The first part can be connected to one system, and the second part can be connected to another system. The first part is fitted onto the second part to enable electrical and signal transmission between the two systems. However, the first and second parts are not strong enough together after being fitted, resulting in an unstable connection and causing the two systems to wobble relative to each other.

[0038] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that a connector and a matching connector base can be designed. The connector may include: a main body, a first locking hook, a second locking hook, and a first locking tongue. A first connecting portion and a first engaging portion on the first locking hook and a second engaging portion on the second locking hook, respectively located on both sides of the first connecting portion, are exposed outside the main body. The first engaging portion, the second engaging portion, and the first locking tongue are movable relative to the main body. The connector base is provided with a connecting recess with an opening. The connector base may also include a second connecting portion, a first target space, and a second target space disposed within the connecting recess, and a third target space disposed outside the connecting recess and opposite to the opening of the connecting recess. The first engaging portion of the first locking hook and the second engaging portion of the second locking hook are opposite to each other. Under external force, the distance between the first and second hooking parts can be reduced so that they can extend into the connecting recess and be fixed relative to the first and second target spaces in the connecting recess in the first and second directions, respectively. At this time, the first and second connecting parts are connected. Meanwhile, the first locking tongue can be fixed relative to the third target space in the third direction. Since the third direction is perpendicular to at least one of the first and second directions, the relative stability of the connector and the connecting seat after connection is higher. Therefore, after the connector and the connecting seat are connected to the two systems respectively, the probability of relative shaking of the two systems is small. The two systems can realize electrical and signal transmission through the first and second connecting parts.

[0039] First aspect

[0040] This disclosure provides a connector 10, see [link to details]. Figures 1 to 10 The connector 10 may include: a body 11, a first locking hook 12, a second locking hook 13, and a first locking tongue 14. The body 11 has a first connecting portion 111. The first locking hook 12 is movably disposed on the body 11 and includes a first engaging portion 121 disposed on one side of the first connecting portion 111. The second locking hook 13 is movably disposed on the body 11 and includes a second engaging portion 131 disposed on the other side of the first connecting portion 111. The first locking tongue 14 is movably disposed on the body 11. The first engaging portion 121 moves toward the second engaging portion 131 under the action of a first target force, and / or the second engaging portion 131 moves toward the first hook 121 under the action of a second target force opposite to the direction of the first target force. When the connecting part 121 moves, the first connecting part 111 can connect with the second connecting part of the connecting seat 20. The first hooking part 121 and the second hooking part 131 can hook into the first target space and the second target space that are opposite to each other on the connecting seat 20, and are subject to the limiting force in the first direction and the second direction provided by the cooperation of the first target space and the second target space. When the first locking tongue 14 is simultaneously subjected to the first target force and moves synchronously, the first locking tongue 14 can be locked into the third target space 22 on the connecting seat 20, and is subject to the limiting force in the third direction provided by the third target space 22. The third direction satisfies the perpendicular condition with at least one of the first direction and the second direction.

[0041] Connector 10 can connect to connector 20 to achieve electrical and signal connection between connector 10 and connector 20. Connector 10 can also connect to the first system via relatively fixed connection methods such as plugging, soldering, or crimping, achieving electrical and signal connection between connector 10 and the first system. Connector 20 can also connect to the second system via relatively fixed connection methods such as plugging, soldering, or crimping, achieving electrical and signal connection between connector 20 and the second system. Thus, electrical and signal connection between the first and second systems can be achieved through connector 10 and connector 20. Here, in the first and second systems, one can be a control system with power supply, and the other can be an execution system. The control system can provide power and control signals to the execution system through connector 10 and connector 20, enabling the execution system to perform operations corresponding to the control signals (such as translation or rotation).

[0042] The main body 11 can form the housing of the connector 10. A first connecting portion 111 can protrude from the outer side of the housing and can connect to a second connecting portion on the connector base 20 to achieve electrical and signal connection between the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion. When the connector 10 is connected to the first system, the first connecting portion 111 can achieve electrical and signal connection with the first system. The number of first connecting portions 111 can be multiple, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 There are two first connecting parts 111, one for transmitting power and the other for transmitting signals; when there are multiple first connecting parts 111, the number of second connecting parts can be the same as the number of first connecting parts 111.

[0043] In the first hook 12 and the second hook 13, either hook can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the main body 11. When the first hook 12 and the second hook 13 are connected to the main body 11, the first hook portion 121 of the first hook 12 and the second hook portion 131 of the second hook 13 are respectively movably located on both sides of the first connecting portion 111 and opposite to each other, so that the first hook portion 121 moves relative to the main body 11 under the action of the first target force, and / or, when the second hook portion 131 moves relative to the main body 11 under the action of the second target force (opposite to the direction of the first target force), the distance between the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 can be shortened, so that one end of the connector 10 having the first connecting portion 111, the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 can enter the connecting recess of the connector seat 20 and connect the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion. When the first engaging portion 121, the second engaging portion 131, and the first connecting portion 111 are located within the connecting recess, the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 131 can respectively engage with the first target space and the second target space that are opposite to each other within the connecting recess. In the engaged state, the connector 10 is fixed relative to the connecting seat 20 in the first direction and the second direction. The first direction (e.g., ...) Figure 1 The X direction in the equation can be the direction of the line connecting the first target space and the second target space, and the second direction (e.g., ...) can be the direction of the line connecting the first target space and the second target space. Figure 1 The Y direction in the diagram can be the depth direction connecting the recesses.

[0044] Wherein, when the first hooking portion 121 and the second hooking portion 131 are respectively hooked into the first target space and the second target space that are opposite each other within the connecting recess, the first hooking portion 121 and the second hooking portion 131 may be in the position after the distance between them has been shortened, that is, without undergoing a reset process. For example, the first hooking portion 121 and the second hooking portion 131 themselves are elastic, so that they are interference-fitted into the first target space and the second target space while maintaining the position after the distance has been shortened, so as to achieve hooking; or, when the first hooking portion 121 and the second hooking portion 131 are respectively hooked into the first target space and the second target space that are opposite each other within the connecting recess, the first hooking portion 121 and the second hooking portion 131 may be in the position before the distance between them has been shortened, that is, after undergoing a reset process. For example: see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, after the first hooking part 121 and the second hooking part 131 are reset by the action of the reset member, they enter the first target space and the second target space respectively to achieve hooking.

[0045] The first hooking portion 121 and the first target space can be respectively provided with a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element, so that when the first hooking portion 121 hooks into the first target space, there is an attractive force between the first hooking portion 121 and the first target space, making the hooking between the first hooking portion 121 and the first target space more secure. The second hooking portion 131 and the second target space can also be provided with magnetic elements to achieve a more secure hooking between them, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The first locking tongue 14 can be linked with the first locking hook 12 so that it can move synchronously with the first locking hook 12 under the action of the first target force, and then cooperate with the third target space 22 of the connecting seat 20 to realize the connection between the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 in a third direction (such as... Figure 1 The limit is in the Z direction. The third direction is perpendicular to at least one of the first and second directions. It can be that the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction, or perpendicular to the second direction, or perpendicular to both the first and second directions. For example: Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions.

[0047] In one example, one system can be an articulated motor system, and the other system can be a legged robot. Connector 10 can be fixed to one system using welding, snap-fitting, or other relatively fixed methods. Connector 20 can also be fixed to the other system using welding, snap-fitting, or other relatively fixed methods. Thus, with connector 10 and connector 20 connected, the two systems can transmit electrical signals, enabling the articulated motor system to provide power and control signals to the legged robot, thereby enabling the legged robot to perform its functions (such as leg movements to mimic walking postures). See also... Figures 1 to 10 The connector 10 may include: a body 11, a first locking hook 12, a second locking hook 13, and a first locking tongue 14. The body 11 has a first connecting portion 111. The first locking hook 12 is movably disposed on the body 11 and includes a first engaging portion 121 disposed on one side of the first connecting portion 111. The second locking hook 13 is movably disposed on the body 11 and includes a second engaging portion 131 disposed on the other side of the first connecting portion 111. The first locking tongue 14 is movably disposed within the body 11 and is located at the three vertices of a triangle with the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 131. When the first engaging portion 121 is relatively compressed (e.g., the first engaging portion 121 is subjected to a first target force) and the second engaging portion 131 is compressed (e.g., the second engaging portion 131 is subjected to a second target force), the connector 1... The size of one end of the first connecting part 111, the first hooking part 121 and the second hooking part 131 is reduced so that they can enter the connecting recess of the connecting seat 20 and connect the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part. The first hooking part 121 and the second hooking part 131 located in the connecting recess can hook into the first target space and the second target space that are opposite to each other in the connecting recess, and are subject to the limiting force in the first direction and the second direction provided by the cooperation of the first target space and the second target space. Under the action of relative squeezing force, the first locking tongue 14 can move synchronously and enter the third target space 22 on the connecting seat 20, and be subject to the limiting force in the third direction provided by the third target space 22. The third direction satisfies the perpendicular condition with at least one of the first direction and the second direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connector 10 may include: a main body 11, a first locking hook 12, a second locking hook 13, and a first locking tongue 14. The main body 11 may have a first connecting portion 111 exposed, and first engaging portions 121 on the first locking hook 12 and second engaging portions 131 on the second locking hook 13 located on both sides of the first connecting portion 111. The first engaging portions 121, second engaging portions 131, and the first locking tongue 14 can move relative to the main body 11. The first engaging portions 121 of the first locking hook 12 and the second engaging portions 131 of the second locking hook 13 are opposite to each other, and the distance between the first engaging portions 121 and the second engaging portions 131 can be reduced under external force to allow them to extend into the connecting recess of the connector seat 20. The first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part in the connecting recess are respectively fixed relative to the first target space and the second target space in the first direction and the second direction, respectively. At this time, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part in the connecting recess are connected. At the same time, the first locking tongue 14 can be fixed relative to the third target space 22 in the third direction. Since the third direction satisfies the perpendicular condition with at least one of the first and second directions (that is, the limit of multiple angles), the relative stability of the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 after connection is higher. Therefore, after the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 are connected to the two systems respectively, the probability of relative shaking of the two systems is small. The two systems can realize electrical and signal transmission through the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 10 The structural states of connector 10 before and after connection with connector 20 meet the same conditions. When connector 10 and connector 20 are connected and the first hook part 121 is subjected to the first target force, the first connecting part 111 can be separated from the second connecting part. The first hook part 121, the second hook part 131 and the first locking tongue 14 can be separated synchronously relative to the corresponding first target space, second target space and third target space 22.

[0050] In other words, before and after the connector 10 is connected to the connector seat 20, the first hook part 121, the second hook part 131, and the first locking tongue 14, etc., move and reset relative to the main body 11, so that the relative positions of the first hook part 121, the second hook part 131, and the first locking tongue 14, etc., can remain unchanged before and after connection; and when the connector 10 connected to the connector seat 20 is separated from the connector seat 20, the first target force can be applied to the first hook part 121 again to achieve separation. Here, when the first hook part 121 is subjected to the first target force, the second hook part 131 can also be subjected to the second target force, so that the distance between the first hook part 121 and the second hook part 131 can be reduced quickly, so as to quickly separate the connector 10 from the connector seat 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the connector 10 and the connector 20 can be separated by applying the target force again, which is the same as the assembly method of the connector 10 and the connector 20, so as to facilitate memory and operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figures 6 to 8 The main body 11 is provided with a first assembly space 112 and a second assembly space 113; a first locking hook 12 is assembled in the first assembly space 112, and a second locking hook 13 is assembled in the second assembly space 113, and both the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 extend out of the main body 11. The movement of the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 includes any of the following: the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 can reciprocate in the corresponding first assembly space 112 and the corresponding first assembly space 113; the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 can reciprocate in the corresponding first assembly space 112 and the corresponding second assembly space 113.

[0053] See one example. Figures 1 to 8 A first locking hook 12 is inserted through the main body 11, such that the first end of the first locking hook 12 is located in the first assembly space 112 and is rotatably connected to the main body 11 via a first rotating shaft, and the second end is located outside the main body 11 and has a first hooking part 121; a second locking hook 13 is also inserted through the main body 11, such that the third end of the second locking hook 13 is located in the second assembly space 113 and is rotatably connected to the main body 11 via a second rotating shaft, and the fourth end is located outside the main body 11 and has a second hooking part 131; wherein, the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 are respectively subjected to a first target force and a second target force. Under the influence of force, the relative rotation between the first hook 12 and the main body 11 and the relative rotation between the second hook 13 and the main body 11 can shorten the distance between the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 located outside the main body 11. Alternatively, when the first hook 12 and the second hook 13 are subjected to forces opposite to the direction of the first target force and forces opposite to the direction of the second target force, respectively, the relative rotation between the first hook 12 and the main body 11 and the relative rotation between the second hook 13 and the main body 11 can reset the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 located outside the main body 11.

[0054] In another embodiment, a first locking hook 12 passes through the main body 11 and is rotatable relative to the main body 11, such that a first end of the first locking hook 12 is located in the first assembly space 112, and a second end is located outside the main body 11 and has a first hook portion 121, and the first locking hook 12 is slidably connected to the main body 11 via a first sliding track; a second locking hook 13 also passes through the main body 11, such that a third end of the second locking hook 13 is located in the second assembly space 113, and a fourth end is located outside the main body 11 and has a second hook portion 131, and the second locking hook 13 is slidably connected to the main body 11 via a second sliding track; wherein, the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 When subjected to the first target force and the second target force respectively, the first hook 12 and the second hook 13 can slide relative to the main body 11 in a direction closer to each other, which can shorten the distance between the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 located outside the main body 11. Alternatively, when the first hook 12 and the second hook 13 are subjected to forces opposite to the direction of the first target force and forces opposite to the direction of the second target force respectively, the first hook 12 and the second hook 13 can slide relative to the main body 11 in a direction further away from each other, which can reset the first hook portion 121 and the second hook portion 131 located outside the main body 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, the movement of the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 relative to the main body 11 can be rotation, translation, or other methods, so that there are multiple connection methods between the first locking hook 12, the second locking hook 13 and the main body 11 for selection.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The main body 11 has a first through hole 114; the first locking hook 12 and the second locking hook 13 can reciprocate in the corresponding first assembly space 112 and second assembly space 113; the connector 10 may also include: a first connecting rod 15, at least a portion of the first connecting rod 15 is located in the main body 11 and is distributed intersectingly with the first locking hook 12, and is partially opposite to the first locking hook 12 so as to push the first locking hook 12 to rotate relative to the first assembly space 112 under the action of a first target force, and a first locking tongue 14 is provided at one end of the first connecting rod 15 corresponding to the main body 11, and the first locking tongue 14 can be misaligned with the first through hole 114 while the first connecting rod 15 pushes the first locking hook 12 to rotate.

[0057] Here, before the first target force acts on the first engaging part 121 and / or the second target force acts on the second engaging part 131, the distance between the first engaging part 121 and the second engaging part 131 is large, making it impossible to enter the connecting recess of the connecting seat 20, and at this time the first locking tongue 14 can be opposite to the first through hole 114; then the first target force can be applied to the first connecting rod 15 to push the first locking hook 12 to rotate relative to the body 11 (in the case that the connector 10 has a second connecting rod 191, the second target force can be applied to the second connecting rod 191 simultaneously), so that the first engaging part... The distance between part 121 and the second engaging part 131 gradually decreases to meet the size of the connecting recess of the connecting seat 20, and at this time the first locking tongue 14 can be gradually misaligned with the first through hole 114; then, when the first engaging part 121 and the second engaging part 131 enter the connecting recess of the connecting seat 20, the first engaging part 121 and the second engaging part 131 can be reset to engage with the first target space and the second target space, and at the same time the first locking tongue 14 is simultaneously reset and extends into the protruding ring 23 on the connecting seat 20 that extends through the first through hole 114 (such as the third target space 22).

[0058] The main body 11 can be provided with a first through hole 114 on each of the opposite sides, and the connector 10 is also provided with a second locking tongue 18 that can be linked with the second locking hook 13. In this way, when the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part can be connected in opposite directions, it can also be connected to the third target space 22 through the first locking tongue 14 or the second locking tongue 18 to support the positive and negative connection of the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first locking hook 12 is rotated relative to the main body 11 by the first connecting rod 15, and the first locking tongue 14 is moved synchronously, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the first locking hook 12 and the first locking tongue 14, and reduce the number of components of the connector 10, thus simplifying the structure of the connector 10.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The first link 15 is located inside the body 11; the connector 10 may also include: a first pressure-bearing part 16, a portion of the first pressure-bearing part 16 is located inside the body 11 and connected to the first link 15, and a portion is exposed outside the body 11.

[0061] In other words, the first pressure-bearing part 16 can be inserted into the main body 11, partially located inside the main body 11 and connected to the first connecting rod 15, and partially located outside the main body 11 to facilitate the user applying the first target force. Here, the surface on the first pressure-bearing part 16 for the user to apply the first target force can be an arc-shaped surface to make the user more comfortable when applying the first target force.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 8 The connector 10 may further include: a first reset member 17, connected to the first link 15, and capable of providing a reset force to the first link 15 in the opposite direction to the force that pushes the first locking hook 12.

[0063] The first reset element 17 can be a spring, a rubber post, etc. The first reset element 17 can provide a reset force to the first connecting rod 15 in the opposite direction to the force that pushes the first locking hook 12, so that the first hook part 121, the second hook part 131 and the first locking tongue 14 can automatically return to their positions under the action of the first reset element 17, thereby reducing the need for the user to manually return them to their positions.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The connector 10 may include a first limiting structure 10A and a second limiting structure 10B; the first limiting structure 10A may include a first locking hook 12 and a first locking tongue 14; the second limiting structure 10B may include a second locking hook 13 and a second locking tongue 18, wherein the second locking hook 13 and the first locking hook 12 are centrally symmetrically arranged, and the second locking tongue 18 and the first locking tongue 14 are centrally symmetrically arranged. This central symmetry simplifies the manufacturing complexity of the connector 10.

[0065] In one example, the first limiting structure 10A may further include: a first locking hook 12, a first locking tongue 14, a first connecting rod 15, a first pressure-bearing part 16, a first reset member 17, etc., and the second limiting structure 10B may further include: a second locking hook 13, a second locking tongue 18, a second connecting rod 191, a second pressure-bearing part 192, a second reset member 193, etc., and the first limiting structure 10A and the second limiting structure 10B are centrally symmetrically arranged. One connection operation mode of the connector 10 and its mating connector 20 can be as follows:

[0066] S101: The first pressure-receiving part 16 and the second pressure-receiving part 192 are relatively compressed and maintained in the compressed state;

[0067] S102: Align one end of the connector 10 having the first connecting portion 111, the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 131 with the opening 211 of the connector 20, and insert the end into the connecting recess of the connector 20 through the opening 211, so that the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion achieve electrical and signal connection.

[0068] S103: Release the pressure exerted on the first pressure-bearing part 16 and the second pressure-bearing part 192 so that the first hooking part 121 hooks into the first target space, the second hooking part 131 hooks into the second target space, and the first locking tongue 14 or the second locking tongue 18 is inserted into the third target space 22.

[0069] One possible way to separate the connector 10 and its mating connector 20 is as follows:

[0070] S201: The first pressure-receiving part 16 and the second pressure-receiving part 192 are relatively compressed and maintained in the compressed state;

[0071] S202: Move the connector 10 away from the connecting recess of the connector seat 20 to move one end of the connector 10 having the first connecting portion 111, the first engaging portion 121 and the second engaging portion 131 out of the connector seat 20, thereby achieving separation between the connector 10 and the connector seat 20.

[0072] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion can be in the form of a plug-in connection. The plug-in connection further provides limiting in the first direction and the second direction, so that the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 are more secure in the first direction and the second direction after they are connected.

[0073] Second aspect

[0074] This disclosure provides a connector 20, see [link] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The connecting seat 20 may include: a seat body 21 and a second connecting part.

A first target space and a second target space are provided in the connecting recess, and a third target space 22 is provided on the seat body 21 at a position outside the connecting recess and opposite to the opening 211. The second connecting part is provided in the connecting recess and opposite to the opening 211.

[0075] The outline and size of the first target space can match the first hook part 121, and the outline and size of the second target space can match the second hook part 131, so that the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 are more secure in the first and second directions after they are connected; the size of the third target space 22 in the third direction can be equal to the size of the first locking tongue 14 in the corresponding direction, so that the connector 10 and the connecting seat 20 are more secure in the third direction after they are connected.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The base 21 is provided with a protruding ring 23, and the space inside the protruding ring 23 forms a third target space 22. As one end of the connector 10, having a first connecting portion 111, a first engaging portion 121, and a second engaging portion 131, extends into the connecting recess, the protruding ring 23 can simultaneously enter the first through hole 114 on the body 11 (e.g., ...). Figures 1 to 3 The first locking tongue 14 is inserted into the through hole in the notch form of the ring 23 under the action of the reset member, and is locked inside it.

[0077] It should be noted that the connector provided in this disclosure is similar to the connector embodiments described above, and has similar beneficial effects.

The second connecting portion is disposed in the connecting recess and is connected to the opening 211. In contrast, when the first engaging part 121 moves toward the second engaging part 131 under the influence of a first target force, and / or the second engaging part 131 moves toward the first engaging part 121 under the influence of a second target force opposite to the direction of the first target force, the first connecting part 111 can connect with the second connecting part of the connecting seat 20. The first engaging part 121 and the second engaging part 131 can engage with each other in the first target space and the second target space on the connecting seat 20, and are subject to limiting forces in the first and second directions provided by the cooperation of the first target space and the second target space.
