Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a tubular member folding mechanism comprises a movable rod 1, a fixed rod 5 is slidably connected inside the movable rod 1, a card slot is provided on the right side of the surface of the movable rod 1, a first latch 2 is provided on the right side of the surface of the movable rod 1, the bottom end of the first latch 2 passes through the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 in sequence and extends to the bottom surface of the movable rod 1, a fixing pin 4 is provided on the surface of the fixed rod 5, a double hook spring 6 is provided inside the fixed rod 5, the right end of the double hook spring 6 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing pin 4, and the double hook spring 6 is located at the fixed rod 5. Inside, a second latch 3 is provided on the front side of the surface of the fixed rod 5, and the second latch 3 penetrates to the bottom surface of the fixed rod 5. The surface of the second latch 3 is sleeved with a Y-shaped pull card 7, and the left end of the Y-shaped pull card 7 is slidably connected with the card slot. The Y-shaped pull card 7 is located inside the fixed rod 5. A latch 9 is provided on the surface of the Y-shaped pull card 7, and the latch 9 penetrates to the bottom surface of the Y-shaped pull card 7. The surface of the latch 9 is sleeved with a cylindrical block 8, and a circular hole is opened on the surface on the right side of the cylindrical block 8, and the circular hole is sleeved on the left end of the double hook spring 6.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A rotation groove is provided on the side of the Y-shaped dial card 7, and a cylindrical block 8 is located inside the rotation groove. The cylindrical block 8 is slidably connected with the latch pin 9.

[0023] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, through the setting of the sliding connection between the cylindrical block 8 and the pin 9, the cylindrical block 8 can be rotated to adjust the angle, thereby avoiding the spring being in a bent state after the moving rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are folded, causing its elastic properties to change, possibly causing plastic deformation or increasing the elastic modulus, affecting its service life and function.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A receiving groove is provided on the front surface of the movable rod 1, and the receiving groove is slidably connected with the front end of the Y-shaped dial card 7.

[0025] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, through the setting of the storage groove, after the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are folded, the Y-shaped latch 7 can be located inside the storage groove on the front side of the movable rod 1, thereby avoiding the Y-shaped latch 7 blocking the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 from continuing to fold, resulting in an insufficient folding angle.

[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 5Two reinforcing ribs are arranged inside the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5, and the two slots are located on the surface of the reinforcing ribs inside the movable rod 1. The reinforcing ribs of the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are staggered and slidably connected, and the reinforcing ribs of the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are both sleeved on the surface of the first pin 2.

[0027] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, by providing reinforcing ribs, the connection between the moving rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 is made more secure, thereby further improving the safety performance of the mechanism.

[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the rear ends of the inner sides of the moving rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 fit each other.

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by arranging the rear ends of the inner sides of the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 to fit each other, the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are more stable in the open state without shaking, making the mechanism more stable when in use.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The front ends of the surfaces of the moving rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are both chamfered.

[0031] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the front ends of the surfaces of the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are both arc-shaped, so that the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are smoother and more comfortable to use without jamming when folding around the first pin 2, thereby improving the folding efficiency.

[0032] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, the user pushes the Y-shaped card 7 to disengage it from the slot inside the movable rod 1, and the Y-shaped card 7 rotates around the second latch 3. At the same time, the Y-shaped card 7 drives the cylindrical block 8 to stretch the double-hook spring 6, and the cylindrical block 8 can rotate on the surface of the latch 9 to adjust the angle as the Y-shaped card 7 rotates, thereby preventing the spring from being in a bent state after the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are folded. Subsequently, the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 can be folded around the first latch 2. After the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5 are folded, the Y-shaped card 7 is located inside the storage groove on the front side of the movable rod 1. When the movable rod 1 is opened to the rear, the double-hook spring 6 contracts and drives the Y-shaped card 7 to move backward, so that it is automatically stuck in the slot inside the movable rod 1, providing secondary protection for the movable rod 1 and the fixed rod 5, making them more firm and safe.
