[0018] In use, an auxiliary positioning mechanism is added by means of a fixed sleeve 201, a rotating sleeve 202, a positioning protrusion 203, a protrusion 204 and a limiting post 205. The combination of insertion, rotation and positioning is used to replace the traditional connectors, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of aluminum tube splicing, positioning and operation.

[0019] Both the positioning bump assembly 2 and the positioning groove assembly 3 are made of aluminum.

[0020] To improve stability in use, for example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a worm gear 206 mounted on the top of the fixed sleeve 201 via a bearing, and the worm gear 206 is connected to the rotating sleeve 202 via bolts. A worm 207 is mounted on one side of the worm gear 206 within the fixed sleeve 201 via a bearing, and the worm 207 is engaged with the worm gear 206.

[0021] In use, the worm gear 206 and worm 207 can form a self-locking structure while utilizing the worm gear structure for transmission, thereby improving the stability of the aluminum tube positioning operation.

[0022] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also includes the positioning groove assembly 3, which includes a positioning sleeve 301 and is connected to the aluminum tube body 1 by welding. The positioning sleeve 301 has a groove 302 corresponding to the rotating sleeve 202, a positioning groove 303 at the top of the groove 302, and a limiting groove 306 corresponding to the limiting post 205 at the bottom. Both the fixing sleeve 201 and the positioning sleeve 301 have through holes 7 corresponding to the aluminum tube body 1.

[0023] In use, the positioning sleeve 301, groove 302, positioning slot 303, and limiting slot 306 facilitate the insertion, rotation, and positioning combination operation of the positioning protrusion assembly 2, and the through hole 7 facilitates the connection between the aluminum tube bodies 1.

[0024] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also includes a rotating rod 4 provided on the surface of the fixed sleeve 201 through a reserved groove, and one end of the rotating rod 4 is connected to the worm gear 207 by bolts.

[0025] In use, the rotating rod 4 allows for easy rotation of the worm gear 207 from the outside using a screwdriver to assist in positioning. The surface of the rotating rod 4 has a cross groove.

[0026] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also includes, at equal intervals, limiting blocks 304 are provided in the positioning groove 303, and openings 305 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 203 are provided between the limiting blocks 304, and the openings 305 are connected to the grooves 302.

[0029] During use, the sealing gasket 5 and the O-ring 6 form a sealing structure, which improves the sealing performance of the aluminum tube body 1 when used together, making the use more stable and reliable. The sealing gasket 5 is made of rubber.

[0030] In use, the operator first assembles the aluminum tube body 1, inserting the limiting post 205 of the fixing sleeve 201 into the limiting groove 306 of the adjacent positioning sleeve 301. Simultaneously, the rotating sleeve 202 is fitted into the groove 302, and the positioning protrusion 203 is inserted into the positioning groove 303 through the opening 305. Then, a screwdriver is inserted into the cross groove of the rotating rod 4 and rotated, driving the rotating rod 4 and the worm gear 207 to rotate. The meshing connection drives the worm wheel 206 and the rotating sleeve 202 to rotate, causing the positioning protrusion 203 to slide and move within the positioning groove 303. This allows the limiting block 304 and the protrusion 204 of the positioning protrusion 203 to engage and connect, thus quickly completing the splicing between the aluminum tube bodies 1. This replaces traditional connectors, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is more flexible and convenient to use.
