When the cable is placed between the two fixing members, the position of the fixing plate 171 can be adjusted so that the second arc groove 1741 of the second fixing member 174 is aligned with the first arc groove 1731 of the first fixing member 173 and the cable is clamped, thereby fixing the cable. A fixing bolt 172 is screwed on the fixing plate 171. The fixing bolt 172 passes through the fixing plate 171 and is screwed into the second shell 12. By tightening or loosening the fixing bolt 172, the position of the fixing plate 171 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the clamping degree of the cable.
[0029] A threaded sleeve 122 is fixed to one end of the second shell 12 close to the fixed component 17. The inner circle of the threaded sleeve 122 is provided with a plurality of wire grooves 1221, and the outer circle of the threaded sleeve 122 is provided with an external thread. A third shell 13 is also provided at one end of the second shell 12. The inner wall of one end of the third shell 13 is provided with an internal thread. The internal thread on the third shell 13 is threadedly matched with the external thread on the outside of the threaded sleeve 122. A limiting ring 131 is fixed to the inner side of the other end of the third shell 13.
[0030] The third housing 13 houses the wire body 14, which is then fitted with a sealing gasket 142. A groove is defined in the center of the sealing gasket 142, which engages with the retaining ring 131. Several wire cores 141 are distributed throughout the wire body 14. These cores 141 are typically made of a highly conductive material, such as copper or copper alloy, to ensure stable transmission of audio signals. The wire body 14 is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate various connection scenarios while maintaining signal integrity. The sealing gasket 142 is typically made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, to ensure a tight fit between the third housing 13 and the wire body 14. When the wire body 14 is inserted into the third housing 13, the retaining ring 131 engages with the groove in the sealing gasket 142, thereby securing the position of the wire body 14 and preventing it from shaking.
[0031] An outer ring 16 is installed on the outside of the first shell 1 at one end close to the second shell 12, and a plurality of through grooves 161 are distributed on the outer ring 16.
