The elastic pressing members are two hooks in an outwardly supporting state. After the inner tube is installed into the sleeve, the elastic pressing members will support it in the installation groove, maintaining the centered position of the inner tube. The correct installation position is when the limiting flange of the inner tube contacts the limiting protrusion of the sleeve, and the positioning insert is in the positioning groove. Due to the elastic effect of the elastic pressing members, the entire inner tube has a certain amount of movable space inside the sleeve, thus possessing a certain degree of shock absorption performance.

[0030] In this invention, a spring 8 is provided between the elastic pressing member 22 and the limiting protrusion 24, and the spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 11. The function of the spring is to strengthen the elastic pressing force of the elastic pressing member on the mounting groove, so that the inner tube is kept in the correct position, and the inner tube is kept in the correct installation position inside the sleeve as described above.

[0031] In this invention, the front end of the inner tube 11 protrudes from the sleeve 1, and a waterproof annular groove 81 is provided on the front end of the inner tube 11 for the waterproof rubber ring 4 to be fitted.

A positioning groove 32 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion tube 13, and a positioning slide 33 is provided inside the front end of the inner tube 11, which can be inserted into the positioning groove 32. The front end of the inner tube extends into the annular locking part, and the waterproof rubber ring also extends into the front side of the annular locking part to provide insertion / removal resistance. During this process, the waterproof rubber ring is squeezed. The function of the positioning groove and the positioning slide is to position the inner tube and the cover in place, preventing rotation.

[0033] The mounting part 5 of this utility model includes mounting cavities 51 located on the left and right sides of the front of the inner tube 11, a detachable mounting bracket 52 located on one side of the inner tube 11, hooks 53 on the mounting brackets 52, and a mounting baffle 54 located on the rear side of the mounting cavities 51. The fastening member 6 is mounted on the hooks 53 and the mounting baffle 54. Mounting clearance grooves 55 are provided on both sides of the front end of the sleeve 1 to accommodate the mounting cavities 51. The mounting cavities can accommodate the fastening members, which, after installation, are located outside the mounting cavities and mounting brackets. The fastening members are securely mounted through the grooves and the mounting baffle. The mounting clearance grooves accommodate the mounting cavities and provide positioning. The mounting brackets are fixed to the outside of the inner tube by screws, and both ends have a certain amount of movable space, allowing the fastening members to have a certain degree of mobility.

[0034] The fastening member 6 of this utility model includes a fastening plate 61 that can be installed in the mounting cavity 51. The fastening plate 61 has a fastening groove 62 that can be embedded in the mounting baffle 54. A triangular member 63 is also provided on the fastening plate 61.
