It should be noted that, the abutment portion 210 is in limit fit with the inner wall of the adjacent pivoting unit in the radial direction, and the abutment portion 210 may abut against the inner wall of the tubular base body 100 of the adjacent pivoting unit, or the abutment portion 210 may abut against the inner wall of the lug 300 of the adjacent pivoting unit, that is, the abutment portion 210 abuts against the inner wall of at least one of the tubular base body 100 and the lug 300 of the adjacent pivoting unit.
In a preferred embodiment, the abutment 210 abuts against the tubular base body 100 and the lug 300 of the adjacent pivoting units simultaneously to form a radial limit, so that the abutment of both sides simultaneously can improve the sliding stability of the arc-shaped lug 200 in the second receiving area 500 when the two pivoting units are rotated relatively.
The inventor found in the research process that after the end of the arc-shaped lug 200 is punched to form the abutment portion 210, the arc-shaped lug substrate is still located in the second accommodating area 500, and the abutment portion 210 is located outside the second accommodating area 500 and abuts against the inner wall of the adjacent pivoting unit, so that the portion between the arc-shaped lug substrate and the abutment portion 210 abuts against the outer edge portion of the second accommodating area 500 while straddling the second accommodating area 500, so that a large rotation damping is generated, and the smoothness of bending of the whole active bending section is affected.
