The two connecting blocks 34 are respectively attached to the first connecting plate 63 and the second connecting plate 64.

[0018] Both the first connecting plate 63 and the second connecting block 34 are provided with connecting holes 65, and both connecting blocks 34 are provided with through holes 35 corresponding to the connecting holes 65.

[0019] The monitoring component 30 includes a crossbar 31 and a mounting base 32 for mounting a camera. One end of the crossbar 31 is fastened to a connecting block 34, and the mounting base 32 is located on the crossbar 31.

[0020] The upper side of the mounting base 32 is set as a plane, and the side wall of the mounting base 32 is recessed upward to form a groove that matches the crossbar 31; a reinforcing rib 33 for enhancing structural stability is provided between the crossbar 31 and the connecting block 34.
