New description: [New technical field] The creation department is a kind of folding technology of the pipe rod. Specifically, it refers to a tube folding mechanism which is easy to take, so that it can be quickly folded and the connection can be improved. Stability. [Prior Art] In order to save storage space and ease of transportation, many pipe rod mechanisms of a certain length are used in ten sections to provide a folding structure for the user to selectively dock or fold according to requirements. Taking bicycles as an example, it is a kind of transportation with environmental protection and health concepts. In particular, the problem of global warming is becoming more and more serious. People from all walks of life have advocated energy conservation and carbon reduction. Bicycles with low pollution have been greatly reduced, so whether it is fitness or fitness, More and more people are starting to ride bicycles, but because of the inconvenience of carrying bicycles, the folding bicycles will be B. The folding bicycle system is mainly equipped with a violent detachment on the frame pipe rod.
