[0024] In the above technical solution, considering that there are upper and lower shells of a traditional USB connector, which are firmly installed and not easy to open, this may bring some inconveniences. If the inside of the connector needs to be cleaned, inspected or repaired, since the upper and lower shells are not easy to open, it may take more time and effort to disassemble the connector, which may increase the complexity of the maintenance process. To solve such problems, the specific operations are as follows: By setting a fixing component inside the upper shell 3, the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4 wrap and connect the interface body 1 together, and then use the fixing component to fix the lower shell 4, so as to fix the upper and lower shells together to complete the shell installation.

The fixing component can quickly install and disassemble the shell, and the connector can be disassembled relatively easily, simplifying the maintenance process, reducing the consumption of time and effort, and can easily complete the operation, increasing the convenience and flexibility of the connector.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , in a preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing block 15, the fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 8, a groove 9 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the upper shell 3, two sliding rods 10 are threadedly connected inside the groove 9, the outer sides of the two sliding rods 10 are slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 8, one end of the sliding rod 10 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 11, a first spring 12 is arranged on the outer side of the sliding rod 10, a clamping groove 19 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the lower shell 4, the top of the fixing block 15 abuts against the top of the inner wall of the clamping groove 19, a notch 13 is opened on one side of the lower shell 4, a placing groove 14 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the clamping groove 19, a connecting rod 16 is slidably connected between the notch 13 and one side of the inner wall of the placing groove 14, one end of the connecting rod 16 extends into the notch 13 and is fixedly connected to a pressing block 18, the other end of the connecting rod 16 extends into the placing groove 14 and is fixedly connected to a pressing plate 17, a second spring 20 is arranged on the outer side of the connecting rod 16 and on one side of the pressing block 18, positioning cylinders 6 are fixedly connected to both the top and the bottom of the interface body 1, positioning columns 7 are fixedly connected to both the inside of the upper shell 3 and the lower shell 4, the outer side of the positioning column 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning cylinder 6, and the bottom of the fixing block 15 is provided with an inclined surface;

[0026] In the above technical solution, considering the problems of cleaning, inspection or maintenance required inside the connector, to solve such problems, the specific operations are as follows: When it is necessary to open the housing, press the pressing block 18 forcefully, thereby driving the pressing block 18 to move inside the notch 13, and then driving the connecting rod 16 and the pressing plate 17 to move, so that the pressing plate 17 moves out of the placement groove 14 and abuts against one side of the fixed block 15. Then, under the action of the sliding rod 10, the fixed block 15 and the connecting plate 8 will be pushed to move, allowing the fixed block 15 to disengage from the card slot 19, and then the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 can be separated for viewing or maintenance. Under the action of the second spring 20, the connecting rod 16, the pressing plate 17 and the pressing block 18 will be reset. When closing the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4, first place the connecting wire 2 in the middle of the clamping block 5, then align the positioning post 7 with the positioning cylinder 6, and then close the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4. The inclined surface of the fixed block 15 will abut against the edge of the lower housing 4. Continue to press forcefully to push the fixed block 15 away, and the first spring 12 will be compressed. When the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 are completely closed, the first spring 12 will push the connecting plate 8 to reset, so that the fixed block 15 re-enters the card slot 19, thereby fixing the upper and lower housings together. The operation is simple, which improves the maintenance efficiency and use convenience of the connector.

[0027] Working principle: During use, when it is necessary to open the housing, press the pressing block 18 forcefully, thereby driving the pressing block 18 to move inside the notch 13, and then driving the connecting rod 16 and the pressing plate 17 to move, so that the pressing plate 17 moves out of the placement groove 14 and abuts against one side of the fixed block 15. Then, under the action of the sliding rod 10, the fixed block 15 and the connecting plate 8 will be pushed to move, allowing the fixed block 15 to disengage from the card slot 19, and then the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 can be separated for viewing or maintenance. Under the action of the second spring 20, the connecting rod 16, the pressing plate 17 and the pressing block 18 will be reset. When closing the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4, first place the connecting wire 2 in the middle of the clamping block 5, then align the positioning post 7 with the positioning cylinder 6, and then close the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4. The inclined surface of the fixed block 15 will abut against the edge of the lower housing 4. Continue to press forcefully to push the fixed block 15 away, and the first spring 12 will be compressed. When the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 4 are completely closed, the first spring 12 will push the connecting plate 8 to reset, so that the fixed block 15 re-enters the card slot 19, thereby fixing the upper and lower housings together. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
