[0022] (3) The T-section sleeve of the handle is provided with a matching T-shaped protective sleeve, which can reduce the friction of the handle when it is pulled, making it smoother for the user to pull the handle, and reducing abnormal noise when pulling, thereby improving the user's comfort when using it. The handle pin shaft matches the limiting hole, and the handle pin shaft is arranged at the limiting hole. The handle pin shaft is fixed between the locking clamp and the base by means of a latch to prevent the handle from falling out. The limiting hole of the locking clamp and the base form a closed shaft rotation cavity, so that the handle pin shaft can rotate freely in the cavity to achieve the closing and opening of the handle. The cooperation between the locking clamp and the base can realize the stable and firm installation of the handle in the preset position. The structures are tightly matched and not easy to loosen, thereby improving the reliability and texture of the handle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
