[0002] In order to facilitate storage and portability, most existing bicycles are folded by installing a folding device to reduce their volume. The folding device is usually called a folder. Generally, the upper joint and the lower joint of the folder are connected together by a connecting device. Finally, set a locking part on the operating handle to reinforce the connecting device to prevent the connecting device from loosening. The existing locking parts mainly include pins or buttons. When it is necessary to separate the upper joint from the lower joint, the Pull out the pin on the operating handle or press the button, then open the connecting device by rotating the operating handle, and then separate the upper joint and the lower joint; when it is necessary to combine the upper joint and the lower joint, first rotate the operating handle to The upper joint and the lower joint are connected through a connecting device, and then insert the pin on the handle or press the button on the handle, so that it is laborious and time-consuming to lock and open the folder. When the installation position of the folder is relatively low, use The operator also needs to bend down to operate, which brings inconvenience to the user
