Since the first member 131 and the second member 132 are connected in a magnetically attractive manner, a material of one of the first member 131 and the second member 132 may be a permanent magnet material, and a material of the other may be an iron material. For example, the first member 131 is made of a magnet and the second member 132 is made of iron.
In one example, the installation foundation 3 may be made of an iron material, in which case the first member 131 may be directly provided as a magnet so as to be magnetically connected with the installation foundation 3, and the second member 132 is no longer required to be provided between the first member 131 and the installation foundation 3.
In addition, in order to ensure a stability of a connection between the first member 131 and the second member 132, contact surfaces of the first member 131 and the second member 132 can be provided as planar, and an area of magnetic contact surfaces of the first member 131 and the second member 132 can be enlarged as much as possible. In one example, the first member 131 is a magnet, whose surface facing the second member 132 is rectangular with an area of 60 mm*20 mm, and the second member 132 is made of iron. An orthographic projection of the second member 132 on the installation foundation 3 covers an orthographic projection of the first member 131 on the installation foundation 3, so that the surface of the first member 131 close to the installation foundation 3 is entirely in magnetic contact with the second member 132.
The aforementioned first member 131 may be any one of cube, cuboid, cylinder, elliptical cylinder, or the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
