The outer side of the first silica gel sleeve 14 is snap-connected and sealed with the first housing 11, thereby achieving the sealing between the first silica gel sleeve 14 and the first housing 11. In practical applications, an interference fit can be adopted between the first silica gel sleeve 14 and the first housing 11, and the first silica gel sleeve 14 undergoes a certain deformation, thereby achieving sealing.
