[0027] The main beam tube 1 is fixedly connected to the front beam tube 2. Reinforcing rings 18 are integrally provided at both ends of the front beam tube 2. The reinforcing rings 18 can effectively avoid the risk of cracking of the front beam tube 2, and the front beam tube 2 has higher strength and is more durable.

[0028] A reinforcing seat 19 is provided between the main beam tube 1 and the front beam tube 2. The outer side wall of the reinforcing seat 19 is in contact with the outer side wall of the reinforcing ring 18. Through the reinforcing seat 19, the connection strength between the main beam tube 1 and the front beam tube 2 can be effectively improved, and the structural stability can be enhanced. Moreover, since the outer side wall of the reinforcing seat 19 is in contact with the outer side wall of the reinforcing ring 18, the stability and durability of the connection during long-term use can be improved.

[0029] A first connection hole 7 and a second connection hole 8 are provided on the main beam tube 1. The front ends of the two first side tubes 3 are inserted into the first connection hole 7 and fixedly connected to the main beam tube 1. The front ends of the two second side tubes 4 are inserted into the second connection hole 8 and fixedly connected to the main beam tube 1.

[0031] The connecting plate 5 is fixedly covered on the outer side wall of the main beam tube 1, and the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front ends of the first side tube 3 and the second side tube 4. It should be noted that fixedly covering the connecting plate 5 on the outer side wall of the main beam tube 1 can effectively enhance the structural strength and supporting force of the main beam tube 1, and fixedly connecting the connecting plate 5 to the first side tube 3 and the second side tube 4 can improve the connection strength between the first side tube 3 and the second side tube 4 and the main beam tube 1, ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0032] Two grooves 11 are provided on the connecting plate 5. The front ends of the two first side tubes 3 are respectively located in the two grooves 11, and the first side tube 3 is adapted to the groove 11, thereby ensuring the stable position of the first side tube 3 on the connecting plate 5 and increasing the firmness of the connection.

[0033] The lower end of the connecting plate 5 is bent to form a flange 12, which fits with the outer side walls of the two second side tubes 4 and the outer side wall of the main beam tube 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the connecting plate 5 and the main beam tube 1 and the two second side tubes 4, effectively improving the connection strength and stability between the connecting plate 5 and the main beam tube 1 and between the connecting plate 5 and the two second side tubes 4, making the overall structure more stable.

[0034] The two reinforcing tubes 6 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the two reinforcing tubes 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the front end of the main beam tube 1 and the second side tube 4, and the two reinforcing tubes 6 are fixedly connected to the front end of the first side tube 3, so as to strengthen the connection strength between the first side tube 3 and the second side tube 4 and the main beam tube 1, so that the connection structure can disperse the load more evenly and stably when subjected to force, and the overall structure is more stable and reliable, and the safety is better.

[0035] The two ends of the two reinforcing tubes 6 respectively have a flat extension section 1 9 and an extension section 2 10. The outer wall of the extension section 1 9 fits with the outer wall of the main beam tube 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the reinforcing tube 6 and the main beam tube 1, and effectively improving the connection strength and stability between the two. The outer wall of the extension section 2 10 fits with the outer wall of the first side tube 3 and the outer wall of the second side tube 4, thereby increasing the contact area between the reinforcing tube 6 and the first side tube 3, effectively improving the connection strength and stability between the two, and making the overall structure more stable.

[0036] The two reinforcing tubes 6, the main beam tube 1 and the two first side tubes 3 cooperate to form two triangular structures 13, and the two reinforcing tubes 6, the main beam tube 1 and the two second side tubes 4 cooperate to form two triangular structures 2 14. The two triangular structures 1 13 and the two triangular structures 2 14 are both right triangles. The stability of the right triangle structure ensures the structure's ability to resist deformation during long-term use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0037] A plurality of support plates 15 are arranged between the first side tube 3 and the second side tube 4. Both ends of the plurality of support plates 15 are bent to form a second flange 16 and a third flange 17. The second flange 16 fits with the outer wall of the first side tube 3, and the third flange 17 fits with the outer wall of the second side tube 4, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the first side tube 3, the second side tube 4 and the support plates 15, and making the overall structure more stable.
