[0011] Furthermore, the end face of the front end component is provided with a slot, the slot is provided with an insertion rod, and the insertion rod is provided with a through hole; the thickness of the probe body is less than the width of the through hole; thus enabling the probe body to be adjusted within the through hole;
[0012] The front end component has a limiting groove at each of its four corners.
[0013] Furthermore, the elbow clamp assembly includes an elbow clamp body and a connecting block. The elbow clamp body is installed outside the rear end component. The elbow clamp body passes through the rear end component and is connected to the two probe bodies through the connecting block, thereby realizing the adjustment of the probe bodies' lifting and lowering.
