After the male docking device 5 is clamped, the threaded rod 8 is rotated, and the connecting frame 9 is connected with the rotation of the threaded rod 8. The two corresponding electric telescopic rods 10 and the male docking device 5 are driven to move toward the direction of the female docking device 3, so that the male docking device 5 and the female docking device 3 are docked, and while the male docking device 5 moves, the sealing arc plate 15 moves toward the direction of the opening 2, and then the two sealing arc plates 15 slide into the corresponding opening 2, and the two elastic rods 14 respectively support the corresponding fixing frames 16, so that the two sealing arc plates 15 are more fixed, and then the pushing tube 22 is pushed to move toward the direction of the card plate 19, and the locking plate 23 is driven to move by the pushing tube 22, and the locking plate 23 pushes the two clamping plates 19 to rotate on the fixed shaft 18.
