[0029] The baffle 50 is located on the inner end face of the outer locking ring 10, and the baffle 50 and the connecting piece 20 are fixedly connected by screws. By adopting the setting of quick insertion and connection between the outer locking ring 10 and the locking inner cylinder 30 through the fixing pin 40, combined with the screw fixing method of the baffle 50 and the connecting piece 20, the modular assembly of the telescopic joint locking mechanism is realized. Locking and unlocking can be completed by simply inserting or pulling out the fixing pin 40, without the need to disassemble multiple fasteners one by one, thus avoiding operation delays caused by excessive operation time.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer locking ring 10 includes a ring body 11. The inner sidewall of the ring body 11 is provided with a plurality of protruding ring strips 12 at equal intervals around the circumference.
