a second base body rotatably connected to the first base body; a third base body slidably matched and assembled to the second base body, the third base body sliding relative to the second base body so that at least a part of the third base body is accommodated inside the second base body, or a part of the third base body extends out of the second base body; and a fourth base body for connecting the webcam, the fourth base body being rotatably connected to the third base body, and the fourth base body being rotatable within the range of at least 0°-90° relative to the third base body; wherein the second base body is formed with a first notch, opposite sides of the first notch are symmetrically respectively formed with a rail, and the opposite two outer sides of the third base body are symmetrically respectively formed with a rail groove that is slidably matched with the rail; wherein protruding portions are symmetrically formed on opposite sides of the first notch adjacent to an opening of the first notch, and a top end of the protruding portions are lower than a bottom surface of the rails; wherein the opposite two outer sides of the third base body are respectively formed with grooves symmetrically, and the grooves are located below the rail grooves, and wherein the rails and the rail grooves are in sliding fit, the protruding portions respectively continuously contact an upper surface of the groove to support the third base body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mount for the webcam according to claim 1, wherein the protruding portions are respectively connected with protruding strips parallel to the rails, and a top surface of the protruding strips is lower than the top end of the protruding portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mount for the webcam according to claim 2, wherein the protruding portion is shaped as a cylinder. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The mount for the webcam according to claim 1, wherein the third base body is formed with a second notch, and two opposite outer sides of the fourth base body are respectively axially connected to opposite sides in the second notch, wherein when a rotation angle of the fourth base body relative to the third base body is 0°, the fourth base body is completely accommodated in the second notch. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mount for the webcam according to claim 1, wherein the first base body and the second base body are rotatably connected through a hinge structure. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mount for the webcam according to claim 1, wherein an extension portion is formed at an open end of the second base body located at the first notch, and an included angle is formed between the extension portion and a bottom surface of the second base body. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The mount for the webcam according to claim 6, wherein the included angle is 90°. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The mount for the webcam according to claim 6, wherein an upper surface of the fourth base body is provided with a fixed shaft, and the fixed shaft is used to connect the webcam.
