[0033] Furthermore, the left joint 1 is provided with a lower connecting portion 12 for connecting to the lower rod 11, the right joint 2 is provided with an upper connecting portion 14 for connecting to the upper rod 13, the lower end of the upper rod 13 is connected to the upper connecting portion 14, and the upper end is connected to the handle, and the lower rod 11 is connected to a pedal.

[0034] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: Figure 1-6 As shown, when the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 need to be rotated relative to each other, the two side ears 32 loosen the left joint 1 and the right joint 2, the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 are separated, the limit block 4 leaves the limit groove 5, and the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 can be rotated relative to each other, thereby realizing the rotation of the upper rod 13 relative to the lower rod 11; when the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 are rotated into place, the two side ears 32 press the left joint 1 and the right joint 2, the limit block 4 is inserted into the limit groove 5, the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the installation of the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 is completed.

[0035] The utility model limits the relative rotation of the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 by arranging a plurality of limit blocks 4 and limit grooves 5 evenly distributed on the circumference, and the number of the limit blocks 4 and the limit grooves 5 is more than eight, so that at least one of the upper rod 13 and the lower rod 11 is between the same straight line (such as Figure 1 as shown) and vertical state (as Figure 3 The intermediate state between Figure 2 As shown), the angle of the joystick relative to the pedal can be adjusted to meet the needs of different users; the utility model tightens and loosens the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 through the two side ears 32 of the locking handle, has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0036] Furthermore, the number of the limit blocks 4 and the limit grooves 5 is 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32 or 36. In the present embodiment, there are 8 limit blocks 4 and 8 limit grooves 5 evenly distributed around the circumference.

[0037] The specific method of the two side ears 32 pressing and loosening the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 is as follows: Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 6, a clamping block 6 is provided on the inner side of the two side ears 32, and a protrusion 7 is provided on the left side of the left joint 1 and the right side of the right joint 2. When the two clamping blocks 6 respectively contact the corresponding protrusions 7, the two side ears 32 clamp the left joint 1 and the right joint 2; when the two clamping blocks 6 leave the corresponding protrusions 7, the two side ears 32 loosen the left joint 1 and the right joint 2.

[0038] The installation structure of the locking handle 3, the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 is as follows: Figure 1-6As shown, it also includes a connecting rod 8, a left joint 1, a right joint 2 and two side ears 32 are respectively mounted on the connecting rod 8, the protrusion 7 is in an arc shape, and the center of the protrusion 7 is on the axis of the connecting rod 8. The two side ears 32 can be rotated around the axis of the connecting rod 8 by rotating the wrench part 31, so as to tighten and loosen the left joint 1 and the right joint 2, which is simple and convenient to operate, and has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0039] The axial limiting structure of the locking wrench 3: screws are connected to both ends of the connecting rod 8, and the two side ears 32 are axially limited between the heads of the two screws.

[0040] In order for the pressing block 6 to smoothly contact and leave the protrusion 7, Figure 2 , 3 As shown in FIG. 6 , a transition block 9 is provided at one end of the protrusion 7. The transition block 9 is in an arc shape, and the center of the transition block 9 is on the axis of the connecting rod 8. The thickness of the transition block 9 gradually decreases from one end close to the protrusion 7 to the other end. The transition through the transition block 9 facilitates the clamping block 6 to enter between the two protrusions 7 and contact with the protrusion 7, and also facilitates the clamping block 6 to leave the protrusion 7, that is, it is easy to rotate the side ear 32.

[0041] In order to make the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 automatically separate when the two side ears 32 release the left joint 1 and the right joint 2, so that the limit block 4 leaves the limit groove 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the right side surface of the left joint 1 and the left side surface of the right joint 2 are respectively concave to form installation grooves, and a spring 10 is arranged in the installation groove for separating the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 by elastic force, and the spring 10 is mounted on the connecting rod 8.

[0042] In order to prevent the two side ears 32 from rotating and loosening the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 during use, thereby causing the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 to rotate and affect driving safety, a locking device is provided between the lower connecting part 12 and the wrench part 31. When the two side ears 32 press the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 and the locking device is locked, the locking device limits the wrench part 31 from rotating upward around the axis of the connecting rod 8.

[0043] Structure of the locking device: The locking device includes a hook 15 arranged on the lower connecting portion 12 and a hook 2 16 slidably arranged on the wrench portion 31. The wrench portion 31 is provided with a spring 2 17 whose elastic force causes the hook 2 16 to move toward the side of the hook 15. When the hook 2 16 hooks the hook 15, the locking device is locked; when the hook 2 16 leaves the hook 15, the locking device is unlocked.

[0044] In order to facilitate the movement of the second hook 16, a sliding groove is provided on the wrench part 31, a pushing block 18 is provided above the wrench part 31, and a mounting plate 19 is provided below the pushing block 18. A connecting block 20 passing through the sliding groove is provided below the pushing block 18.

After the locking handle 3 is rotated to the right position, the pushing block 18 is pushed downward to compress the second spring 17. After the second hook 16 moves to the bottom of the first hook 15, the pushing block 18 is released. The second hook 16 moves upward under the elastic force of the second spring 17 to hook the first hook 15, and the locking device is locked; when unlocking is required, the pushing block 18 is pushed downward to compress the second spring 17, and the second hook 16 leaves the first hook 15, and the unlocking of the locking device is completed. At this time, the locking handle 3 can be rotated. The structure is simple, easy to install, the locking is firm and reliable, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0045] Furthermore, the connecting block 20 is mounted on the mounting plate 19 by screws, the first hook 15 is mounted on the lower connecting portion 12 by screws, and the second hook 16 and the mounting plate 19 are an integrated structure.

[0046] Preferably, the left side of the left joint 1 and the right side of the right joint 2 are respectively fixedly connected with wear-resistant plates 21, and the protrusion 7 on the left side of the left joint 1 is arranged on the corresponding wear-resistant plate 21 and is located on the side of the wear-resistant plate 21 away from the left joint 1; the protrusion 7 on the right side of the right joint 2 is arranged on the corresponding wear-resistant plate 21 and is located on the side of the wear-resistant plate 21 away from the right joint 2. The materials of the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 are metal, and the material of the wear-resistant plate 21 is plastic, and the wear-resistant plate 21 is fixedly installed on the corresponding joints by screws. The left joint 1 and the right joint 2 made of metal are easy to wear. By setting the wear-resistant plate 21, the wear of the left joint 1 and the right joint 2 can be effectively prevented, and at the same time, the protrusion 7 is easy to be processed on the wear-resistant plate 21 made of plastic.

[0047] Furthermore, the protrusion 7, the transition block 9 and the wear-resistant plate 21 are an integrated structure.

[0048] The above embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
