[0025] In specific implementation, the shell structure of the self-locking quick connector body 1 includes: a quick connector self-locking outer shell 11, a first insulating outer shell 12 and a second insulating outer shell 15. The second insulating outer shell 15 covers the outside of the first insulating outer shell 12.
