After the cover is opened, the connecting wire to be installed is inserted into the flip cover mounting groove 110 to connect with the connecting wire. The terminal 120 is abutted, and then the flip cover 200 is closed. During the closing process, the flip cover 200 is closed downward, and the flip cover 200 is turned downward with the rotating shaft mounting rod 220 as the rotating shaft. The connecting wire is clamped by the mutual proximity between the flip cover 200 and the connecting terminal 120. After the flip cover 200 is closed in place, the two ends of the flip cover 200 are buckled with the base 100 through the buckle 260 structure, so that the flip cover 200 and the base 100 are buckled with each other, so that the connecting wire is fixedly connected with the FPC connector of the utility model;

[0041] During the opening process of the flip cover 200, the flip cover 200 is lifted upwards, so that the buckle abutment joint 261 is disengaged from the buckle groove 151, so that the flip cover 200 and the base 100 are unlocked, and the flip cover 200 is turned upwards with the shaft mounting rod 220 as the shaft;

[0042] After the connection line to be installed is installed, the flip cover 200 is closed. After the flip cover 200 is closed in place, the snap-on abutment joint 261 snaps into place in the snap-on groove 151, so that the flip cover 200 and the base 100 are stably snap-fitted, making the installation connection of the connection line more stable.

[0043] In the embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of rotating shaft installation grooves 130 are provided along the length direction, and a rotating shaft installation block 210 is respectively installed in each rotating shaft installation groove 130;

[0044] By installing and matching a plurality of rotating shaft installation blocks 210 in the rotating shaft installation grooves 130 , the connection between the flip cover 200 and the base 100 is more stable, and the force applied to the flip cover 200 is more stable during the process of opening and closing.
