1. A locking device comprising:
a mounting frame with a latching column; and
a locking assembly configured to lock or release the mounting frame, the locking assembly comprising:
a main body pivotally connected with the mounting frame;
a latch rotatably connected with the main body; and
a sliding cover slidably mounted on the main body and configured to drive the latch to rotate relative to the main body,
wherein the latch defines a rail slot, the main body defines at least one guiding slot, the rail slot communicates with the at least one guiding slot in a thickness direction of the latch, the rail slot is inclined with respect to the at least one guiding slot, a first movable column is disposed on the sliding cover, the first movable column is inserted into the rail slot and the at least one guiding slot, a first stop column is disposed on the mounting frame, the first stop column and the latching column are staggered, and the first stop column is configured to abut against a side of the latch away from the latching column to drive the latch to rotate relative to the main body;
wherein when the latch is engaged with the latching column, the locking assembly is locked to the mounting frame,
wherein when the first stop column abuts against the side of the latch away from the latching column and the sliding cover is moved relative to the main body, the first movable column moves along the at least one guiding slot and the rail slot, and the first movable column abuts against different heights of the rail slot and rotates the latch relative to the main body, such that the latch is disengaged from the latching column.
