The first portion 112 is opposite to the bottom portion. 111 stands and extends obliquely along an axial direction A of the base 11. The second portion 113 is connected to the first portion 112 and extends along a horizontal direction with a free end 1131. The free end 1131 defines a through hole 114. At a substantially central position of the bottom portion 111 of the base 11, the first portion 112 and the second portion 113 further define a tapered receiving groove 115 below the second portion 113 and communicate with the through hole 114. Furthermore, the second portion 113 has a lower joint surface 1132 facing the tapered receiving groove 115, and the lower joint surface 1132 is provided with an extruding groove 1133. One side of the first portion 112 facing the tapered receiving groove 115 is an inner inclined side 1151 of the tapered receiving groove 115. As shown in the figure, the tapered receiving groove 115 is arranged to be narrower and wider than the bottom, that is, the area of the tapered receiving groove 115 on the side close to the second portion 113 (the top side of the drawing) is smaller than the opposite. The area of the two sides 113 side (the bottom side of the drawing).

The middle tube 21 has a top end 211 and a bottom end 212 and an accommodating space 213. The top end 211 has an opening 2111 communicating with the accommodating space 213. The bottom end 212 is provided with a first convex portion 214 and a second convex portion. The first convex portion 214 and the second convex portion 215 are disposed on an outer side surface 216 of the middle tube 21, and an insertion groove 217 is located at the first convex portion 214 and the second portion. Between the convex portions 215, the second convex portion 215 has an upper bonding surface 2151 and an interference pressing surface 2152 defined at the outermost side of the second convex portion 215.
