Buckling connection structures are disposed on edges of tapered large ends of fixed sleeves 112 of upper tapered springs in the plurality of upper spring members 11. The buckling connection structures used as the third connecting members 13 to implement a pairwise connection of the plurality of upper spring members 11.
Each of the third connecting members 13 comprises first connectors 131 and second connectors 132, and the first connectors 131 and the second connectors 132 are alternatively arranged on each of the edges of the tapered large ends of the fixed sleeves 112 of the upper tapered springs.
Each of the first connectors 131 comprises a buckling groove 1311, and each of the first connectors 131 comprises an upper buckling plate 1312 and a lower buckling plate 1313.

An elastic buckling member 1322 is disposed on each of the second connectors 132, and each of the second connectors 132 comprises an insertion plate 1321. The insertion plate 1321 is hollow and is connected to the elastic buckling member 1322, and a protrusion 1323 is disposed on the elastic buckling member 1322.

The insertion plate 1321 is inserted into the gap between the upper buckling plate 1312 and the lower buckling plate 1313 until the elastic buckling member 1322 passes through the upper buckling plate 1312 and the lower buckling plate 1313 to be accommodated in the buckling groove 1311. The elastic buckling member 1322 protrudes upward due to an elastic force of the elastic buckling member 1322 and protrudes to be buckled into the buckling groove 1311 disposed on the upper buckling plate 1312, thus forming a buckling-fixed connection. When the elastic buckling member 1322 protrudes upward, the protrusion 1323 abuts a bottom edge of the buckling groove 1311 disposed on the upper buckling plate 1312, thus avoiding excessive protrusion of the elastic buckling member 1322. When it is necessary to disassemble, merely the elastic buckling member 1322 is pressed downward within the buckling groove 1311 to move downward to be aligned with the gap, and the insertion plate 1321 is then drawn out.

The third connecting member is instead a fixed seat 133.

As shown in in FIGS. 21 and 22, an elastic unit structure 3 different from Embodiment 4 is provided.
The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 4 is that in this embodiment, the upper spring module 1 is formed by a plurality of upper spring members 11 connected by a third connecting member 13, and the third connecting member 13 is not disposed on the plurality of upper spring members 11. Rather, the third connecting member 13 is an independent member.

The fixed seat 133 and the plurality of upper spring members 11 form a detachable connection structure. The specific structure is as follows.
A second slide rail 1331 is disposed on the fixed seat 133, and second slide seats 113 are disposed on the plurality of upper spring members 11. The second slide seats 113 are disposed on tapered large ends of the plurality of upper spring members 11. The second slide seats 113 and the second slide rail 1331 form a detachable draw-out installation.
A second draw-out opening 1332 is disposed on one side of the fixed seat 133, and the second draw-out opening 1332 is in communication the second slide rail 1331. The second draw-out opening 1332 is used to allow the second slide seats 113 of the plurality of upper spring members 11 to slide into the second slide rail 1331. A locking member is disposed at a position of the second draw-out opening 1332. After a sufficient number of the plurality of upper spring members 11 have slid into the second slide rail 1331 of the fixed seat 133, the locking member is locked to a last one of the plurality of upper spring members 11 so as to restrict the last one of the plurality of upper spring members 11 from sliding out of the second slide rail 1331 after the last one of the plurality of upper spring members 11 has slid into the fixed seat 133, thereby securing the plurality of upper spring members 11 to the fixed seat 133.
The locking member can adopt the existing buckling connection or plug-in connection, and the locking member involved in this embodiment can be a structure that can be locked or unlocked
This embodiment provides a specific structure of the locking member. A second elastic protrusion 1333 is disposed at the position of the second draw-out opening 1332, and edges of the second slide seats 113 comprise second grooves 114. When a corresponding one of the second slide seats 113 on the last one of the plurality of upper spring members 11 slides into the second slide rail 1331, the second elastic protrusion 1333 is buckled into a corresponding one of the second grooves 114 on the last one of the plurality of upper spring members 11, and the second elastic protrusion 1333 cooperates with the corresponding one of the second grooves 114 to form the locking member. When it is necessary to disassemble, merely the second elastic protrusion 1333 is pressed to be deformed so as to be separated from the corresponding one of the second grooves 114.
