[0044] Other components and connections are the same as in Implementation 1.

[0045] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figures 1-9 In this embodiment, the adjusting components are tightened by locking knob 5 to tighten the left adjusting bracket 11 and the right adjusting bracket 12, or by tightening telescopic tube 17.

[0046] The locking knob 5 includes an inner locking sleeve 51 and an outer locking adjusting sleeve 52. The inner locking sleeve 51 is installed inside the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52. The right adjusting tube 15 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52. The upper end of the inner locking sleeve 51 and the upper end of the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 are axially limited. The left adjusting tube 13 is inserted into the inner locking sleeve 51. The inner locking sleeve 51 is located inside the right adjusting tube 15. The inner locking sleeve 51 is a cone-shaped body with an upper port diameter larger than the lower port diameter. The upper port diameter of the inner locking sleeve 51 is larger than the upper port diameter of the right adjusting tube 15. The upper end of the inner locking sleeve 51 is provided with a number of axially opened upper opening grooves 511 in a ring. The lower end of the inner locking sleeve 51 is provided with a number of axially opened lower opening grooves 512 in a ring.

[0047] The upper end of the right adjusting tube 15 is flared, and the right adjusting tube 15 and the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 are engaged by a multi-threaded connection. The axial limiting of the upper end of the inner locking sleeve 51 and the upper end of the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 means that the upper end of the inner locking sleeve 51 is provided with an annular groove 513, and the inner wall of the upper end of the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 is provided with a radially arranged annular protrusion 521 that matches the annular groove 513. The upper opening groove 511 has three sets arranged at 120-degree intervals, and the lower opening groove 512 has three sets arranged at 120-degree intervals.

[0048] The lower outer edge of the inner locking sleeve 51 forms a radially protruding ring 514. The radially protruding ring 514 is designed to facilitate better insertion of the left adjusting tube 13 into the inner locking sleeve 51. When the radially protruding ring 514 contacts the inner wall of the right adjusting tube 15, the lower end of the inner locking sleeve 51 is compressed, resulting in a larger opening at the upper end of the inner locking sleeve 51, thus facilitating the insertion of the left adjusting tube 13. The right adjusting tube 15 is provided with a radial retaining ring 151 to limit the lower end of the inner locking sleeve 51, preventing the inner locking sleeve 51 from falling into the extension tube right adjusting tube 15.

[0049] Similarly, the upper end of the telescopic tube 17 is flared, and both the U-shaped left adjusting tube 14 and the U-shaped right adjusting tube 16 are engaged with the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 using multi-threaded connections. The telescopic tube 17 also has a radial retaining ring inside for limiting the lower end of the inner locking sleeve 51.

[0050] This implementation method adopts the working principle of locking knob 5:

[0051] See attached document Figure 9The inner locking sleeve 51 is fitted inside the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52, and the inner locking sleeve 51 is axially limited within the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52. The inner locking sleeve 51 is inserted into the right adjusting tube 15, and the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 is threaded onto the right adjusting tube 15. The left adjusting tube 13 is inserted into the inner locking sleeve 51. When it is necessary to lock the left adjusting tube 13, the outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 is rotated. The outer locking adjusting sleeve 52 drives the inner locking sleeve 51 further into the right adjusting tube 15. Since the port of the right adjusting tube 15 is tapered with a larger outer diameter and a smaller inner diameter, and the inner locking sleeve 51 is also tapered with a larger upper diameter and a smaller lower diameter, the outer opening of the inner locking sleeve 51 will become smaller and smaller, clamping the left adjusting tube 13 tighter and tighter, thus achieving the locking function. Preferably, the telescopic locking function of the auxiliary frame 1 can also adopt other locking adjustment structures.

[0052] Other components and connections are the same as in Implementation 1.

[0053] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred and exemplary and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
