[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 In the present invention, an audio cable is provided, comprising a connector body 100, with a manipulator gripping end 50 provided at one end and a plug end 40 provided at the other end. A stress relief ring 61 is provided at the bottom end of the connector body 100. The connector body 100 is vertically provided with a top surface 10, a side surface 20, and a bottom surface 60, in sequence. Another side surface 20 is vertically provided between the top surface 10 and the bottom surface 60. A first through-slot 21 is provided on the side of the side surface 20 near the manipulator gripping end 50. A retaining wall 70 is provided between the first through-slot 21 and the manipulator gripping end 50. The stress relief ring 61 is crimped with an audio conductor 651. The plug end 40 is an audio converter, and the stress relief ring 61 is connected to an audio jack 65 via the audio conductor 651. The audio converter is in communication with the audio jack 65.

[0028] The manipulator gripping end 50 is a pull pin. To improve the accuracy of the insertion and removal robot, the centerline of the manipulator gripping end 50 coincides with the centerline of the plug end 40. A cap 51 is located at one end of the manipulator gripping end 50, and a boss 52 is located at the other end, located near the connector body 100. To facilitate gripping by the insertion and removal robot, the center structure of the manipulator gripping end 50 is a regular square prism or a regular hexagonal prism. The cap also acts as a stop for the insertion and removal robot.

[0029] For guidance, an L-shaped groove 30 is provided at the lower portion of the side 20. A protrusion 31 is provided near the bottom surface 60 of the L-shaped groove 30. A stress relief ring 61 is provided on the bottom surface 60. A slope 32 is provided at one end of the protrusion 31. The protrusion and slope provide guidance for automatic insertion and removal, facilitating assembly operations.

[0030] A groove 11 is formed on either side of one end of the top surface 10. The grooves 11 communicate with the first through-slot 21 and have the same depth as the first through-slot 21. A second through-slot 71 is formed in the middle of the retaining wall 70, with an angled corner 72 at one end. The second through-slot 71 is perpendicular to the first through-slot 21 and has the same depth as the first through-slot 21, facilitating mass production. The second through-slot 71 is tangent to the outer circumference of the boss 52.

[0031] The plugging and unplugging robot grips the rivet portion of the audio cable with its gripping end 50, then plugs the audio converter into the installation location. The audio converter is an Audio Jack 3.5, a coaxial audio plug with a diameter of 3.5 mm. The cam serves as a guide, and the audio converter is connected to the audio jack 65 via the audio cable. The gripping end facilitates the robot's assembly of the audio cable, improving automation and assembly efficiency. The cam enhances guidance during plugging and unplugging, ensuring the centerline of the gripping end is concentric with the plugging end. The gripping end and retaining wall are both strong, extending their service life.

[0032] The above are only specific application examples of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
