The female rotary connection assembly includes a female base, which is provided with a recess corresponding to the protrusion. The recess is provided with a conductive connecting piece, and the female base is provided with at least two engagement grooves. Rotating the male or female rotary connection assembly causes the insertion connection ends to slide into the engagement grooves, making the conductive contacts contact the conductive connecting pieces, thereby engaging and fixing the male and female rotary connection assemblies.
