The plug rod (134) is inserted into the plug hole (132), each limiting groove (133) and the corresponding limiting convex edge (135) are mutually engaged, the fixed rod (111) and the angle adjustable section (12) are fixed, the plug rod (134) is continuously pressed downward until each floating plug rod (1343) moves below the fixed rod (111), and then the end of the plug hole (132) of the limiting rod (1344) is inserted into the inner cavity bottom end of the hollow pipe body (1341) to cooperate with the inner end inclined surface of each floating plug rod (1343), pushing each floating plug rod (1343) to extend outward, each floating plate (96) slides in the corresponding floating groove (95), each reset spring (97) is locked under pressure, and the limiting rod (1344) is continuously pressed to make the top end extend above the middle hole pipe body. By inserting the snap spring (92) into the corresponding through hole (91) and inserting the stop block (93) into the stop groove (94), the angle adjustment of the control arm body (1) is completed.

2. The control arm of claim 1, wherein, The length adjustable section (11) further comprises: a mounting groove (114) provided on the outer end of the wall of the fixed rod (111) for inserting the telescopic rod (112); a plurality of insertion grooves (115) symmetrically and spaced apart on the opposite side wall of the telescopic rod (112); a plurality of insertion blocks (116) symmetrically and spaced apart on the opposite inner wall of the mounting groove (114), which can be inserted and cooperated with the corresponding insertion groove (115).

3. The control arm of claim 2, wherein: The limiting unit (113) comprises: a threaded sleeve (1131) installed on the outer wall of the fixed rod (111) by threading; a stop ring (1132) fixedly connected to the telescopic rod (112), the cross-sectional diameter of which is greater than the diameter of the fixed rod (111); a locking bolt (1133) installed on the threaded sleeve (1131) by a threaded hole.

4. The control arm of claim 3, wherein the first and second arms are formed from a single piece of material. The limiting unit (113) further comprises: an embedded groove (1134) provided on the end of the telescopic rod (112) away from the connecting sleeve (2); wherein the lower end of the locking bolt (1133) can be inserted into the embedded groove (1134).
