The installation component includes a first installation part 403 and a second installation part 404. The first installation part 403 is connected to the sensor body 1, and the second installation part 404 is connected to the protective frame 401. The first installation part 403 and the second installation part 404 are connected to lock the protective frame 401 and the sensor body 1. A driving component is provided inside one side of the protective frame 401. The driving component drives the protective plates 402 on both sides to move closer to each other to seal the protective frame 401. When the sensor body 1 is connected and used, the first First, the protective plates 402 on both sides are driven away from each other by the driving component, so that the protective plates 402 no longer block the plug interface 3, and the connecting line can be connected to the plug interface 3 for use.
