[0038] The elastic arm is two bent parts connected in sequence. The two bent parts connected in sequence are connected to each other through a second connection part; the housing fixing part and the two bent parts connected in sequence are connected to each other through a first connection part, and the two bent parts connected in sequence are connected to the housing fixing part through a third connection part.
