[0009] The squeezing structure has a first state in which the squeezing disc is pressed toward the follower disc so that the squeezing disc squeezes and locks the follower disc; and a second state in which the squeezing structure moves away from the follower disc until the squeezing disc is no longer pressed so as to unlock the follower disc.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking connection structure includes:

[0011] A connecting plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the follower disc body, and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the follower disc body;

[0012] The locking block is integrally formed at the other end of the connecting plate and is provided with a locking opening for inserting the free end of the up and down adjusting knob.

[0013] Furthermore, the extrusion structure comprises:

[0014] A fixed plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the extrusion disc body, and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the extrusion disc body, and a first through hole is formed at the end thereof;

[0015] A second through hole, disposed on the handle and having an internal thread;

[0016] The extrusion bolt is rotatably installed inside the first hole and can be threadedly engaged with the second hole; when the extrusion bolt rotates, it can drive the fixing plate to drive the extrusion disc to move towards or away from the follower disc.

[0017] Furthermore, a lever handle is provided on the head of the extrusion bolt.

[0018] Furthermore, friction coatings are provided on the opposing surfaces of the extrusion disc and the follower disc.
