Abstract

A positioner includes a base, a marking component, and a first mounting component. The marking component includes a marking portion and a connecting portion connected with each other. The marking portion is configured to set a mark onto a mounting surface. The connecting portion is inserted into the base. The first mounting component is detachably connected to the connecting portion. An end of the first mounting component distal from the connecting portion is configured to connect to a mounting object. Each fastening structure on a back surface of the mounting object is fixedly connected to a hanging structure via the first mounting component. A plurality of matching marks are made onto the mounting surface through a plurality of positioners.

Claims (21)

1. A positioner, comprising:

a base;

a marking component; and

a first mounting component;

wherein the marking component comprises a marking portion and a connecting portion, the marking portion is connected with the connecting portion, the marking portion is configured to set a mark onto a mounting surface, and the connecting portion is inserted into the base; and

the first mounting component is detachably connected to the connecting portion, an end of the first mounting component distal from the connecting portion is configured to connect to a mounting object.

2. The positioner according to claim 1 , wherein a printing-dyeing structure is disposed on the marking portion, and the printing-dyeing structure is capable of printing the mark onto the mounting surface.

3. The positioner according to claim 1 , wherein a tip structure is disposed on the marking portion, and the tip structure is capable of drilling a positioning hole in the mounting surface to form the mark.

4. The positioner according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is detachably connected to the base, and the connecting portion is capable of being limited to different positions of the base.

5. The positioner according to claim 4 , wherein a thread is disposed on an outer surface of the connecting portion, a first threaded hole is defined on the base, and the connecting portion is threaded to the first threaded hole.

6. The positioner according to claim 5 , wherein the base comprises:

a substrate;

a first protruding portion; and

a second protruding portion;

wherein the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are disposed on a same side of the substrate;

the first protruding portion is of a hollow structure, the first threaded hole is defined in a middle of the first protruding portion, and a first opening corresponding to the first protruding portion is defined on the substrate;

the second protruding portion is of a hollow structure, and a second mounting component is disposed in the second protruding portion; and the second mounting component is different from the first mounting component.

7. The positioner according to claim 6 , wherein the base further comprises a third protruding portion; the third protruding portion and the second protruding portion are disposed on a same side of the substrate; the third protruding portion is of a hollow structure, and a third mounting component is disposed in the third protruding portion; and the third mounting component, the second mounting component and the first mounting component are different from one another.

8. The positioner according to claim 7 , wherein the second protruding portion and the third protruding portion are disposed on two opposite sides of the first protruding portion: a second opening corresponding to the second protruding portion is defined on the substrate, and a third opening corresponding to the third protruding portion is defined on the substrate; and the second mounting component is inserted into the second opening, and the third mounting component is inserted into the third opening.

9. The positioner according to claim 4 , wherein a second threaded hole is defined at an end of the connecting portion away from the marking portion, and the first mounting component is threaded to the second threaded hole.

10. The positioner according to claim 1 , wherein the positioner further comprises a cover; and the cover covers the marking portion.
