Specifically, a second guide bevel 2321 is provided on the buckle 232, which can guide the buckle 232 to smoothly enter the slot 221. The second guide bevel 2321 can gradually reduce the contact area between the buckle 232 and the slot 221. During the process of the buckle 232 entering the slot 221, the second guide bevel 2321 can gradually guide the buckle 232 to slide in, reducing resistance during installation and making installation smoother.
[0048] Specifically in this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 A first guide slope 2111, arranged in an arc shape with a higher top and a lower bottom, is provided in the middle of the inner circumference of the retaining ring 211. The first guide slope 2111 can guide the buckle head 320 to smoothly enter the retaining ring 211. During installation, the first guide slope 2111 can reduce friction between the buckle head 320 and the retaining ring 211, making it easier to align and insert the buckle head 320 into the retaining ring 211, and can securely fasten the buckle head 320 within the retaining ring 211, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving assembly efficiency. In other embodiments, the retaining ring 211 can also be provided with other types of structures that facilitate installation.
