Specifically, the first rotating connection structure is two through holes 1220 symmetrically formed on two connecting pieces 1210. In other words, the first rotational connection structure is a through hole 1220 provided on the connection pieces 1210, one through hole 1220 is provided on each connection piece 1210, and the axes of the through holes 1220 provided on the two connection pieces 1210 coincide or substantially coincide. The second rotational coupling structure is two lugs 2111 protruding from opposite sides of the barrel 2110, respectively, that is, two lugs 2111 are provided on both sides of the barrel 2110, and the axes of the two lugs 2111 coincide or substantially coincide with each other. Wherein, two lugs 2111 are respectively inserted into two through holes 1220 to enable the connector 2100 to rotate relative to the main body 1100.

It should be noted that, the axes of the two through holes 1220 are coincident or substantially coincident, and the axes of the two lugs 2111 are coincident or substantially coincident, specifically, the relationship between the axes of the two through holes 1220 and the relationship between the axes of the two lugs 2111 are such that when the two lugs 2111 are respectively inserted into the two through holes 1220, the connector 2100 can rotate relative to the main body 1100.

Of course, the manner in which the lug 2111 and the through hole 1220 are provided to rotatably connect the joint 2100 and the main body 1100 is merely for illustration, and is not to be construed as limiting the protection scheme of the present utility model.
