The sealing sleeve 5 penetrates the wire passing hole to seal the gap between the cable 4 and the wire passing hole.

Among them, the sealing sleeve 5 can be made of materials with sealing properties such as rubber and PVC.
[0057] In a possible implementation, the protective shell has a connecting portion for connection and fixation, which can be connected to a carrier. The carrier can be the outer shell of a charging pile or a corresponding structure on a charging vehicle.
