The outer wall of the inner hemisphere 5 is respectively provided with an inner mounting hole 503 and an inner semicircular hole 504.


The outer mounting hole 406 and the outer semicircular hole 407 have the same diameter. When the two outer hemispheres 4 are clamped to each other, the round hole formed by the corresponding two outer semicircular holes 407 has the same size as the outer mounting hole 406. The inner mounting hole 503 and the inner semicircle and the holes 504 have the same diameter. When the two inner hemispheres 5 are clamped to each other, the round hole formed by the corresponding two inner hemispherical holes 504 has the same size as the inner mounting hole 503.
