DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The technical solution in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

One interface of the elbow joint extends to the outside of the joint assembly A33 or the joint assembly B34, and the other interface faces the spacer. The two interfaces of the straight joint connect the opposite sides of the joint assembly A33 or the joint assembly B34.
