As shown in fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the guide hole 322 is a gourd-shaped hole, and is formed by splicing an elongated hole and an introduction hole which are communicated with each other, and the diameter of the introduction hole is larger than that of the elongated hole. The guide 323 is formed by splicing a guide part and an introduction part which are connected with each other, wherein the introduction part is connected above the guide part, the guide part is matched with the elongated hole, and the introduction part is matched with the introduction hole.
In practical application, the guide 323 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 through the guide portion, the fitting 32 is inserted into the guide portion of the guide 323 through the guide hole of the guide hole 322, and the fitting 32 is moved along the outside of the paper surface to a position where the guide 323 and the guide hole 322 are engaged with each other through the engagement of the elongated hole and the guide portion. The second elastic member 34 is then suspended between the connecting portion 35 and the connecting member 15.
When a user holds the handle assembly 20 and presses the pressing member 21 to move in a direction away from the housing 10 in a first direction (downward movement is understood in fig. 4), the inclined surface portion 214 of the pressing member 21 abuts against and engages with the inclined surface of the engaging portion 321 of the engaging member 32, so that the pressing member 21 can drive the engaging member 32 and the locking member 31 to move in a direction away from the second through hole 14 in a second direction (inward movement is understood in fig. 4) under the guiding action of the guiding member 323 and the guiding hole 322, so as to ensure that the moving direction of the engaging member 32 does not deviate.
