[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An angle-adjustable folder includes a first connector 10, a second connector 20, a release button 30, a knob 40, a locking block 50, and a screw 110. The knob 40 has several smooth, concave arcs on its edge to facilitate rotation and prevent slipping. In this embodiment, the screw 110 and knob 40 are fixedly connected via a fixing pin 120, a common fixing method not described here. The screw 110 is provided with a step. In other embodiments, the screw 110 and knob 40 may be integrally formed.

[0021] The first connector 10 is provided with a center hole 11, which passes through the first connector 10. A pin hole 12 is provided on one side of the first connector 10. The pin hole 12 is a countersunk hole. An elastic member 60 and a pin 70 are provided in the pin hole 12. One end of the elastic member 60 abuts the bottom of the pin hole 12, and the other end abuts the pin 70. A fixing hole is provided on the other side of the first connector 10.

[0022] The second connector 20 is provided with a connecting groove 24 and a connecting hole 23. The connecting hole 23 traverses the second connector 20 and is used to accommodate the first connector 10. The connecting groove 24 divides the second connector 20 into two connecting pieces 21 and 22. The connecting hole 23 passes through the two connecting pieces 21 and 22. The connecting piece 21 is provided with a receiving groove 211, a protrusion 212, and a positioning hole 213. The connecting hole 23 passes through the protrusion 212. In this embodiment, the connecting hole 23 on the connecting piece 21 is threaded for threaded connection with the screw 110. When the knob 40 is rotated, the screw 110 is threadedly connected to the connecting piece 21, achieving lateral movement of the screw 110. The receiving groove 211 is used to accommodate the release button 30. The number of the positioning holes 213 is an integer multiple of the number of the latch holes 12. In this embodiment, there are four positioning holes 213 and two latch holes 12. The connecting piece 22 is also provided with a through hole 221. The lower end of the second connector 20 is provided with a mounting hole 25 and a notch 26. The notch 26 is provided at the edge of the mounting hole 25. The notch 25 is provided with a through-hole 27. The through-hole 27 is tightened by a locking screw 100. This embodiment can be applied to a bicycle or a scooter. The mounting hole 25 fixes the upper tube of the bicycle front fork or the lower stem of the scooter to the second connector 20 through a fixing cap. The fixing cap is provided at the lower end of the connecting groove 24. When the locking screw 100 tightens the notch 26, the upper tube of the bicycle front fork or the lower stem of the scooter is tightly embraced by the lower end of the second connector 20.

[0023] The release button 30 is provided with a countersunk groove 31 on one side and a recess in the middle of the other side for accommodating the screw 110. A boss is provided around the recess on the other side. The boss corresponds to the positioning hole, and the height of the boss is equal to the depth of the positioning hole. A screw hole is provided on one end face of the screw 110. A screw 90 passing through the countersunk groove 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 110. The release button 30 is provided at one end of the screw 110, and one end of the screw 110 is provided in the recess of the release button 30. A washer 80 is provided between the screw 90 and the release button 30. The release button 30 can move axially along the screw 110. Since the screw 90, washer 80 and screw 110 limit the release button 30, the release button 30 can move axially along the screw 110 for a distance.

[0024] The locking block 50 is provided with a fixing foot 51 and a screw hole, the screw 110 passes through the screw hole, and the other connecting piece is provided with a through hole. The fixing foot 51 corresponds to the through hole 221 on the connecting piece 22 and corresponds to the fixing hole provided on the first connecting head 10. The step on the screw 110 is used to abut the locking block 50.

[0025] When the knob 40 rotates, driving the screw 110 to be threadedly connected with the connecting hole 23 on the connecting piece 21, the knob 40 pushes the locking block 50, so that the fixing foot 51 on the locking block 50 passes through the through hole 221 on the connecting piece 22 and is inserted into the fixing hole on the first connector 10. The first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are radially fixed relative to each other, and the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 cannot rotate relative to each other. At the same time, the pin 70 extends into the positioning hole under the action of the elastic member 60. Due to the action of the pin 60, the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are radially fixed, that is, the first connector and the second connector cannot rotate relative to each other, thereby improving the reliability of the radial fixation of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. When it is necessary to rotate the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 relative to each other, the knob 40 is rotated to drive the screw 110 to be screwed out from the connecting hole 23 on the connecting piece 21. The step on the screw 110 pushes the locking block 50 to make the fixed foot 50 of the locking block 50 disengage from the fixing hole on the second connector 10. The release button 30 is pressed, and the boss of the release button 30 pushes the pin 70 extending from the pin hole 12 into the positioning hole into the pin hole 12. The first connector 10 and the second connector 20 can rotate relative to each other. After the release button 30 is released, the elastic member 60 pushes the pin 70 into the positioning hole, so that the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are relatively fixed. It has good reliability, simple structure and easy operation.

[0026] In other embodiments, to achieve screwing in or out of the screw rod 110 , the threaded sections on the connecting hole 23 may be provided at different positions, or a thread may be provided in the central hole 11 of the first connector 10 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the number and positions of the positioning holes are set according to actual needs, which determines the folding position and angle of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. This embodiment is applicable to bicycle or electric bicycle stems and scooter stems, and under certain conditions, can be used on bicycle and electric bicycle frames.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
