[0032] Specifically, a limiting groove 31 is provided on the side of the third connecting member 3 close to the first connecting member 1, and the limiting groove 31 can allow the edge protrusion of the second connecting member 2 to be embedded, thereby limiting the position of the third connecting member 3 and reducing the probability of the third connecting member 3 moving relative to the second connecting member 2, so as to improve the connection stability between the third connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 2.
[0033] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 2 can be a rectangular flat plate, the limiting groove 31 is U-shaped, and the opening of the limiting groove 31 is set downward. The second connecting member 2 can be inserted into the limiting groove 31 from bottom to top, so that the top edge and the left and right edges of the second connecting member 2 are respectively embedded in the corresponding limiting groove 31, thereby limiting the position of the second connecting member 2.
[0034] In other embodiments, the second connecting member 2 can be a circular flat plate, the limiting groove 31 is semicircular in shape, the opening of the limiting groove 31 is set downward, and the second connecting member 2 can be inserted into the limiting groove 31 from bottom to top, so that the edge of the upper half of the second connecting member 2 is embedded in the limiting groove 31, thereby limiting the position of the second connecting member 2.
[0035] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2-Figure 4 Among the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 , one connecting member is provided with a universal ball head 6 , and the other connecting member is provided with a ball socket 7 , and the universal ball head 6 is embedded in the ball socket 7 .
[0036] Specifically, a ball joint connection is achieved between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 via a universal ball head 6 and a ball socket 7. The universal ball head 6 can be fixedly connected to the first connecting member 1 or to the second connecting member 2. Correspondingly, the ball socket 7 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 2 or the first connecting member 1 to achieve the matching of the universal ball head 6 and the ball socket 7.
[0037] In addition, the ball socket 7 is provided with a mounting cavity for the universal ball head 6 to be embedded in. The universal ball head 6 is embedded in the mounting cavity and can rotate relatively, so that the angle and position of the third connecting member 3 can be adjusted by means of the ball joint structure.
[0038] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2-Figure 4 The ball socket 7 includes at least two elastic adjustment parts 71, and the at least two elastic adjustment parts 71 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the universal ball head 6. The at least two elastic adjustment parts 71 surround an installation cavity for embedding the universal ball head 6.

[0040] The elastic adjustment portion 71 is elastic, and at least two of the elastic adjustment portions 71 form a mounting cavity for the universal ball head 6 to be embedded in, and the opening diameter of the mounting cavity is smaller than the diameter of the universal ball head 6 .
[0041] When assembling the universal ball head 6 and the ball socket 7, align the universal ball head 6 with the ball socket 7 and insert it into the installation cavity. Under the squeezing action of the universal ball head 6, at least two elastic adjustment parts 71 move away from each other, thereby expanding the opening of the installation cavity so that the universal ball head 6 can be successfully embedded in the installation cavity. Then, at least two elastic adjustment parts 71 move closer to each other to confine the universal ball head 6 in the installation cavity.
[0042] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 At least two of the elastic adjustment parts 71 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the universal ball head 6.
[0043] Specifically, the number of the elastic adjustment parts 71 may be eight, and the eight elastic adjustment parts 71 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the universal ball head 6 to enclose a mounting cavity for the universal ball head 6 to be embedded.
