         3 . The foldable support according to  claim 1 , wherein a spring plate is arranged inside the second end of the third connecting rod, one end of the unlocking button and one end of the limiting elastic column respectively extend into inside of the second end of the third connecting rod and abut against the spring plate, the other ends of the unlocking button and the limiting elastic column, under the action of an elastic force from the spring plate, are exposed outside the second end of the third connecting rod, and a peripheral wall of the second end of the third connecting rod is provided with a first hole for exposing the unlocking button and a second hole for exposing the limiting elastic column. 
     
     
         4 . The foldable support according to  claim 3 , wherein the spring plate is curved and comprises a first end arm and a second end arm that are arranged opposite to each other, the first end arm abuts against a side of the inside of the second end of the third connecting rod that is opposite to the first hole and the second hole, the second end arm abuts against a same side of the inside of the second end of the third connecting rod where the first hole and the second hole are located, and extending ends of the unlocking button and the limiting elastic column abut against the second end arm respectively. 
     
     
         5 . The foldable support according to  claim 4 , wherein a length of the second end arm is greater than that of the first end arm. 
     
     
         6 . The foldable support according to  claim 1 , wherein the unlocking button and the limiting elastic column are linearly spaced apart from each other at the second end of the third connecting rod, the unlocking button is arranged closer to an inner side of the second end of the third connecting rod, and the limiting elastic column is arranged closer to an outer side of the second end of the third connecting rod. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable support according to  claim 1 , wherein the locking hole is a through hole formed in an upper side wall of the connecting groove, and correspondingly, the unlocking button and the limiting elastic column are both arranged on an upper side of the second end of the third connecting rod. 
     
     
         8 .
