[0027] It should be noted that by the positioning block 11 abutting against the side of a set of extrusion rings 8, the extrusion rings 8 and the sealing rings 9 can be pushed, so that the extrusion rings 8 can extrude the sealing rings 9, causing the sealing rings 9 to deform under extrusion and closely adhere to the inner wall of the jack 14 due to the deformation, thereby improving the sealing effect between the female socket 4 and the male plug 3.

[0028] In an optional embodiment: an installation groove 15 is provided on the male plug 3. The extrusion rings 8 and the sealing rings 9 are both arranged in the installation groove 15.

[0029] It should be noted that the installation groove 15 can play a role in positioning the extrusion rings 8 and the sealing rings 9, and can prevent the extrusion rings 8 and the sealing rings 9 from falling off the female socket 4.

[0030] In an optional embodiment: two groups of positioning grooves 10 that are relatively adapted to the positioning blocks 11 are symmetrically provided on the side of the male plug 3.
