[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] To facilitate external connections and allow the connector to rotate, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 A rotatable connector includes a rotating tube 1 and a connector 2: the connector 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating tube 1, and the connector 2 and the rotating tube 1 are rotatably connected by a bearing 5; a groove 3 is provided on one side of the connector 2, and a sealing gasket 4 is filled in the groove 3; the end of the connector 2 that connects to the external component is threaded. The connector 2 is connected to the external connector, and because the connector 2 and the rotating tube 1 are rotatably connected, it is convenient to further rotate the rotating tube 1.

[0025] To facilitate locking and fixing of the rotating tube 1, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The locking structure is located at one end of the connector 2 and can lock and fix the rotating tube 1, allowing the rotating tube 1 to be used both rotatably and fixedly. The locking structure includes a connecting tube 6 and a fastening sleeve 8. The connecting tube 6 is fitted onto the rotating tube 1 and fixedly connected to one end of the connector 2. The fastening sleeve 8 is threaded onto the end of the connecting tube 6 away from the connector 2. The locking structure also includes pressure strips 7 and pressure blocks 9. Several pressure strips 7 are evenly and obliquely arranged around one side of the connecting tube 6, and several pressure blocks 9 are evenly distributed on one side of the inner wall of the fastening sleeve 8 and are used in conjunction with the pressure strips 7. The fastening sleeve 8 has anti-slip textures. The fastening sleeve 8 is fitted onto the connector 2 and continuously screwed onto one end of the connecting tube 6. As the fastening sleeve 8 approaches, the pressure blocks 9 on the fastening sleeve 8 can correspondingly press the pressure strips 7, making the pressure strips 7 tightly adhere to the outer wall of the rotating tube 1, directly locking and fixing the rotating tube 1. This facilitates static fixing and is flexible in use, adaptable to different application scenarios.

[0026] In specific implementation of this utility model:

[0027] First, the connector 2 is connected to the external connector. Since the connector 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating tube 1, it is convenient to further assist the rotating tube 1 in achieving rotation.

[0028] Next, when the rotating tube 1 needs to be fixed, the fastening sleeve 8 is put on the connector 2 and continuously screwed on one end of the connecting tube 6. As the fastening sleeve 8 gets closer, the pressure block 9 on the fastening sleeve 8 can correspondingly squeeze the pressure strip 7, so that the pressure strip 7 fits tightly against the outer wall of the rotating tube 1, directly locking and fixing the rotating tube 1. This is convenient for static fixing and flexible in use, adaptable to different usage scenarios.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0030] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
