One end of the bolt 12 runs through the connecting part 22, that is, one end of the bolt 12 runs through and is disposed in the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222 at the same time. As a preferred embodiment, an upper side wall and a lower side wall of the indoor connecting box 221 are respectively provided with a first through hole 225 for the bolt 12 to run through. An upper side wall and a lower side wall of the outdoor connecting box 222 are respectively provided with an elongated hole 226 for the bolt 12 to run through, the elongated hole 226 extends and is arranged along a length direction L of the outdoor connecting box 222, and the bolt 12 runs through and is disposed in the first through hole 225 and the elongated hole 226 at the same time. In this embodiment, when the connecting part 22 is extended and retracted to adjust the length dimension, a relative movement is generated between the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222, to drive the bolt 12 to make a linear motion along the elongated hole 226. The elongated hole 226 ensures that the bolt 12 can run through the connecting part 22, and meanwhile can also prevent the bolt 12 from affecting the relative movement between the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222, so as to realize that the length of the connecting part 22 can be adjusted. In the meanwhile, the fit between the bolt 12 and the elongated hole 226 also performs a certain guiding function on the relative movement between the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222.
The elongated hole 226 has a first end and a second end. The end of the elongated hole 226 close to the indoor part 21 is defined as the elongated hole first end 2261, and the end close to the outdoor part 23 is defined as the elongated hole second end 2262. In order to further ensure that the bolt 12 does not affect the relative movement between the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222, the elongated hole first end 2261 is set to be through with a side edge of the outdoor connecting box 222. The “side edge of the outdoor connecting box 222” here refers to the side edge of the outdoor connecting box 222 close to the indoor part 21. With reference to

The bolt 12 runs through and is disposed in the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222, and meanwhile also runs through and is disposed in the decorative hood 223. The decorative hood 223 is provided with a is second through hole 227 corresponding to the first through hole 225, and the bolt 12 runs through the second through hole 227. When the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222 move relatively to adjust the length, the decorative hood 223 may further block the elongated hole 226. In order to facilitate the expression of the connecting structure between the bolt 12 and the indoor connecting box 221 and the outdoor connecting box 222, the decorative hood 223 is omitted in
The second through hole 227 located in an upper part of the decorative hood 223 is detachably provided with a cover (not shown in figures). When the bolt 12 is screwed out and demounted from the connecting part 22, the cover seals the second through hole 227, so as to prevent outside dust, foreign matters and the like from entering the inside of the connecting part 22 through the second through hole 227. The cover is an elastic rubber cover, and the rubber cover is connected to the second through hole 227 by way of interference fit, and thus, the rubber cover is simple in structure and convenient for mounting and demounting.
One side of the base 11 facing the connecting part 22 is provided with a second shaft sleeve 111, that is, an upper surface of the base 11 is provided with the second shaft sleeve 111, the second shaft sleeve 111 is an elastic rubber member, and the lower end of the bolt 12 is connected to the second shaft sleeve 111 by way of interference fit. When the bolt 12 runs into the connecting part 22 from top to bottom, the lower end of the bolt 12 moves downward to be inserted into the second shaft sleeve 111, so as to realize the fixed connection between the bolt 12 and the base 11. When the bolt 12 is screwed out from bottom to top, the base 11 moves upward along with the bolt 12. When the base 11 moves along with the bolt 12 to abut against the lower surface of the connecting part 22, the second shaft sleeve 111 is sequentially inserted into the second through hole 227, the elongated hole 226 and the first through hole 225 located in a lower part of the connecting part, and then is screwed upward out of the bolt 12. The lower end of the bolt 12 is separated and extracted from the second shaft sleeve 111 until the bolt 12 is completely separated from the connecting part 22.
