At this time, the first moving rod 91 and the second moving rod 92 respectively squeeze the first base portion 212 of the first locking piece 21 and the second base portion 222 of the second locking piece 22, so that the first base portion 212 of the first locking piece 21 and the second base portion 222 of the second locking piece 22 elastically deform. Finally, the first locking hook portion 2123a and the second locking hook portion 2223a are respectively disengaged from the first locking hole 2031a and the second locking hole 2032a of the docking connector 200, and double-sided simultaneous unlocking can also be achieved.
[0168] Please refer to Figure 39As shown, the drawstring 4 includes a first connecting portion 41 fastened to the first moving rod 91, a second connecting portion 42 fastened to the second moving rod 92, a first connecting band 43 connected to the first connecting portion 41, a second connecting band 44 connected to the second connecting portion 42, and a third connecting band 45 connecting the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42.
[0169] The first connecting portion 41 is movably connected to the first moving rod 91; the second connecting portion 42 is movably connected to the second moving rod 92. Specifically, the first connecting band 43 is connected to the outer layer of the first connecting portion 41, and one end of the third connecting band 45 is connected to the inner layer of the first connecting portion 41. The second connecting band 44 is connected to the outer layer of the second connecting portion 42, and the other end of the third connecting band 45 is connected to the inner layer of the second connecting portion 42. The third connecting band 45 is configured to be able to move flexibly to adjust the positions of the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42, so as to make up for the situation when the external force applied to the drawstring 4 is an inclined force, ensuring that the external force can drive the first moving rod 91 and the second moving rod 92 to slide simultaneously or within a reasonably short time, so as to ultimately achieve double-sided unlocking.
[0170] Those skilled in the art can also understand that Figure 39 the first moving rod 91 and the second moving rod 92 in can be made into an integral moving rod, and the moving rod is installed inside the insulating body 1. The moving rod can, under the pulling of the drawstring 4, cause elastic deformation of the first locking piece 21 and the second locking piece 22. Finally, the first locking hook portion 2123a and the second locking hook portion 2223a are respectively disengaged from the first locking hole 2031a and the second locking hole 2032a of the docking connector 200, and double-sided simultaneous unlocking can also be achieved.
[0171] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. The understanding of the present invention should be based on those skilled in the art. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can still modify the present invention or make equivalent replacements, and all technical solutions and their improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
