[0035] This application claims protection for a quick locking mechanism, reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the connection between the locking mechanism, the plate to be locked and the mounting plate in the embodiment of the utility model is shown; it can be clearly seen from the schematic diagram that the locking mechanism includes a mounting seat 1, which is in the shape of a cylinder with a closed top surface, the bottom of the cylinder passes through the plate to be locked A, and is mounted on the plate to be locked A through a first connecting member 13;

[0047] The handle 20 passes through the first through hole 120 from top to bottom and is threadedly connected to the connecting arm 211;

[0048] The locking member 212 passes through the connecting block 210 and the connecting arm 211 in sequence in the radial direction, and cooperates with the handle 20 to limit the rotation or loosening of each other, and the locking member 212 and the installation tube 11 do not interfere with each other;

[0049] The locking piece 212 is a hexagon socket cone end set screw, and a second through hole is radially opened in the upper section 111 of the mounting tube. The connecting block 210 and the connecting arm 211 are radially opened with second threaded holes that are connected to each other. The second through hole is matched with the second threaded hole, and the hexagon socket cone end set screw passes through the second through hole and engages with the second threaded hole until one end of the hexagon socket cone end set screw is in conflict with the handle 20 and the other end is embedded in the connecting block 210, ensuring that the hexagon socket cone end set screw and the mounting tube 11 do not conflict with each other.

[0052] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic cross-sectional view of the connection between the connecting block and the mounting tube in an embodiment of the utility model is shown; it can be clearly seen from the schematic view that a slide groove 2101 is provided in the circumferential direction of the outer ring wall of the connecting block 210, and a slider 1110 is correspondingly protruded in the cylinder cavity of the upper section 111 of the mounting tube, and the slider 1110 and the slide groove 2101 form a sliding guide cooperation along the circumference of the connecting block 210.

[0053] Due to the invisibility of the mounting base 1, the operator cannot intuitively judge the degree and trend of rotation of the eccentric jaw 22. Therefore, the present application provides a slider 1110 and a slide groove 2101. On the one hand, it is not easy to slip during the process of pressing the rotating handle 20. On the other hand, it is convenient for personnel to perceive the adjustment position of the eccentric jaw 22, thereby increasing convenience.

[0054] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
