Four slots 2 are opened on the front side of the switch body 1, and two inserting ports 5 are opened on one side of the slot 2. Protective covers 4 are arranged on the front side of the switch body 1 outside the two inserting ports 5, and limiting components 3 are arranged on one side of the two protective covers 4.
[0023] Preferably, the two protective covers 4 are rotatably installed on the connecting rods 41 inside, and the two ends of the connecting rods 41 are fixed inside the switch body 1. A mounting plate 42 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the protective cover 4, and a clamping groove 43 is opened at one end of the mounting plate 42. A mounting groove 51 is opened on the front side of the inserting port 5 inside the switch body 1, a sealing gasket 52 is arranged inside the mounting groove 51, four inserting rods 45 are fixedly arranged on the rear side of the protective cover 4, a sealing ring 44 is sleeved on the outer walls of the four inserting rods 45, and one end of the inserting rod 45 is clamped on the sealing gasket 52.
[0024] By covering the inserting port 5 with the protective cover 4, and then using the sealing ring 44 on the outer wall of the inserting rod 45 on the protective cover 4 to be squeezed and connected with the sealing gasket 52 inside the mounting groove 51, it is convenient to improve the connection sealing performance of the protective cover 4.
[0025] Preferably, the limiting component 3 includes a limiting frame 31, a push rod 32 and a collar 33. There are two limiting frames 31, and the limiting frames 31 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the switch body 1. The push rod 32 and the collar 33 are fixedly connected, and the collar 33 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion rod 36. A guiding groove 34 is opened at the upper end of the limiting frame 31, and the outer wall of the push rod 32 is slidably connected to the guiding groove 34.
