Please further refer to
Therefore, when the second supporting plate 34 is folded with respect to the first supporting plate 32, and the first supporting plate 32 is folded with respect to the second side 23, the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 is are a fully folded state, and at this time, a height of each of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 is minimum, that is, a height of the base 2 is minimum. When the second supporting plate 34 is folded with respect to the first supporting plate 32, and the first supporting plate 32 is unfolded with respect to the second side 23, the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms are in a semi-folded state, and at this time, the height of each of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 is in a middle, that is, the height of the base 2 is in a middle. When the second supporting plate 34 is unfolded with respect to the first supporting plate 32, and the first supporting plate 32 is unfolded with respect to the second side 23, the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 are in an unfolded state, and at this time, the height of each of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 is the largest, that is, the height of the base 2 is the largest.
A quantity of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms 30 may beset according to needs, such as three, four, or more.
