The locking mechanism comprises a sliding block 10, a mounting rod 14, a movable frame 16 and a pressing rod 17. The support frame 8 is provided with a sliding groove 9, the sliding block 10 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 9, one end of the mounting rod 14 is hingedly connected with the sliding block 10, the other end is hingedly connected with the driving arm 11 and is provided with a ratchet wheel 15, the movable frame 16 is slidingly arranged on the driving arm 11 and is provided with an elastic element 19 between the inner side of the driving arm 11, the movable frame 16 is provided with a pawl 18, the pawl 18 is clamped on the ratchet wheel 15, and the pressing rod 17 is slidingly arranged in the handle 12, one end of the pressing rod 17 protrudes out of the handle 12, and the other end is connected with the movable frame 16.
