[0017] The specific technical solutions implemented in this utility model are as follows:

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a USB connector shell installation fixture comprises: a flat base 1, a U-shaped enclosure 2 extending upward from the front end of the top surface of the base 1 with an opening facing backward, a fixing block 3 fixedly arranged at the front side of the inside of the U-shaped enclosure 2, a positioning block 4 fixedly arranged at the rear side of the inside of the U-shaped enclosure 2 and with the front end abutting against the rear end of the fixing block 3, a slide rail 5 fixedly arranged on the top surface of the base 1 and extending in the front-to-back direction and with the front end abutting against the bottom of the rear end of the positioning block 4, a push block 6 arranged on the slide rail 5 and slidably matched with the slide rail 5, and a push cylinder 7 fixedly arranged on the top surface of the base 1 and located at the rear side of the slide rail 5 and with the piston rod fixedly connected to the rear end of the push block 6;

[0019] The rear side of the top surface of the positioning block 4 is provided with a shell placement groove 41 extending in the front-to-back direction and used to place the USB connector shell 93, and the front side of the top surface of the positioning block 4 is provided with a net tail placement groove 42 extending in the front-to-back direction and used to place the net tail 94, and the net tail placement groove 42 is directly opposite to and connected with the shell placement groove 41 (the width of the net tail placement groove 42 is smaller than the width of the shell placement groove 41);

[0020] The top surface of the fixing block 3 is provided with a cable placement groove 31 extending in the front-to-back direction and used for placing the cable 95, and the cable placement groove 31 is directly opposite to and connected with the net tail placement groove 42;

[0021] The front end wall of the push block 6 is provided with a connector receiving groove 61 extending in the front-to-back direction and used to receive the USB connector 91, and the connector receiving groove 61 is directly opposite to the housing placement groove 41;

[0022] The slide rail 5 is located directly below the connector receiving slot 61;

[0023] The fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1 via a pair of vertical first bolts 81 ; the pair of first bolts 81 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the slide rail 5 .

[0024] The positioning block 4 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1 via a pair of vertical second bolts 82 ; the pair of second bolts 82 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the slide rail 5 .

[0025] The USB connector shell installation jig of the utility model is used for assembling the USB connector of the USB data cable (the USB connector includes: an inner shell 92 whose tail end is connected to the cable 95 through a net tail 94, a USB connector 91 inserted at the head end of the inner shell 92, and an outer shell 93 which is sleeved on the inner shell 92 by the tail end of the inner shell 92). The specific use method is as follows:

[0026] Place the USB connector's outer shell 93 flatly in the outer shell placement slot 41 (make the rear end of the outer shell 93 abut against the rear end of the net tail placement slot 42), make the USB connector 91 face the connector accommodating slot 61, make the net tail 94 flatly placed in the net tail placement slot 42, and make the portion of the cable 95 close to the net tail 94 flatly placed in the cable placement slot 31; at this time, the head ends of the outer shell 93 and the inner shell 92 face backwards, the tail ends of the outer shell 93 and the inner shell 92 face forwards, and the head end of the inner shell 92 protrudes backwards from the head end of the outer shell 93, and the tail end of the inner shell 92 retracts backwards into the tail end of the outer shell 93, and the head end of the inner shell 92 needs to be pushed forwards until it is flush with the head end of the outer shell 93;
