[0044] In this way, the insulating sleeve 111 covers the wire 20, the sleeve 113 and the USB socket 110, and fixes the wire 20, the sleeve 113 and the USB socket 110 together. The insulating sleeve 111 plays a role of waterproof and dustproof, can avoid mechanical damage to the connector 10, and improve the waterproof performance of the connector 10. At the same time, since the sleeve 113 covers the accommodation hole 1122 of the shell 112, when the insulating sleeve 111 is formed on the sleeve 113 and the shell 112, the material of the insulating sleeve 111 will not enter the shell 112 from the accommodation hole 1122, avoiding the difficulty of inserting the USB plug 32 into the shell 112 of the USB socket 110.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the length of the shell 112 is greater than the length of the sleeve 113, and the opposite ends of the shell 112 protrude from the opposite ends of the sleeve 113.

[0046] The two ends of the shell 112 protrude from the ends of the sleeve 113, which can make the contact area between the insulating sleeve 111 and the shell 112 large enough, and the connection between the shell 112 and the insulating sleeve 111 more tight. At the same time, the end of the shell 112 away from the insulating sleeve 111 is exposed outside the sleeve 113, and it is easier to insert the USB plug 32 into the shell 112 from this end.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , 5As shown, the data cable 1 further includes a first plug 30. The first plug 30 is connected to the end of the wire 20 facing away from the USB socket 110. The first plug 30 and the USB socket 110 are connected to each other via the wire 20. The first plug 30 and the USB socket 110 can be plugged into two different electronic devices, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the two electronic devices.

[0048] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the wireless communication module 100 also includes a protective box 2. The protective box 2 can be a straight box-shaped structure. The protective box 2 can be a plastic box. A cavity is provided in the protective box 2.

The USB plug 32 of the wireless network card 3 and the USB socket 110 of the data cable 1 are both located in the middle of the protective box 2 and are plugged into each other. A wire outlet hole 213 is provided at one end of the protective box 2 close to the docking connector 10. The wire 20 passes through the wire outlet hole 213 of the protective box 2, and the end of the wire 20 facing away from the USB socket 110 extends out of the protective box 2.

[0049] Since the wireless network card 3 and the docking connector 10 are both arranged in the protective box 2, the protective box 2 protects the wireless network card 3 and the docking connector 10, thereby preventing the wireless network card 3 and the docking connector 10 from being damaged, and also preventing the connection between the wireless network card 3 and the docking connector 10 from being destroyed.

[0050] In an illustrative embodiment, the protective box 2 includes a box body 21 and a box cover 22. The box body 21 is configured as a straight bar. The box body 21 is provided with an opening. The box cover 22 is configured as a flat plate. The side of the box cover 22 is rotatably connected to the edge of the opening of the box body 21. The box cover 22 can open and close the opening of the box body 21. When the opening of the box body 21 is open, the docking connector 10 and the wire 20 can be installed into the box body 21 through the opening of the box body 21.

[0051] A fixing plate 211 is provided in the box body 21. The fixing plate 211 can be configured as a flat plate. The fixing plate 211 can be provided in the middle area of ​​the box body 21. The plate surface of the fixing plate 211 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the box body 21. The fixing plate 211 is located between the insulating sleeve 111 of the docking connector 10 and the network card body 31 of the wireless network card 3.

A notch 212 is provided on the fixing plate 211, and the notch 212 passes through the fixing plate 211. The sleeve 113 and the shell 112 of the docking connector 10 are inserted into the notch 212 of the fixing plate 211.

[0052] Since the sleeve 113 on the adapter 10 is inserted into the notch 212 of the fixing plate 211, the sleeve 113 of the adapter 10 is constrained by the notch 212 and is difficult to move after the box cover 22 closes the opening of the box cover 22, so that the adapter 10 can be installed more stably.

[0053] In an illustrative embodiment, the shell 112 is provided with a limiting protrusion 1121. The limiting protrusion 1121 is arranged on the outer side of the end of the shell 112 away from the insulating sleeve 111. The limiting protrusion 1121 can be provided with multiple limiting protrusions 1121, and the multiple limiting protrusions 1121 are arranged in sequence around the end of the shell 112. The fixing plate 211 is located between the limiting protrusion 1121 and the insulating sleeve 111.

[0054] The fixing plate 211 is clamped by the limiting protrusion 1121 on the shell 112 and the insulating sleeve 111, so that the adapter 10 cannot move relative to the fixing plate 211, and the adapter 10 can be fixed more stably.

[0055] In an illustrative embodiment, the insulating sleeve 111 is provided with two bosses 1111, and the two bosses 1111 are arranged on opposite sides of the insulating sleeve 111, respectively. The two bosses 1111 are aligned with each other in the extension direction of the box body 21. The top ends of the two bosses 1111 abut the two opposite side walls of the box body 21, respectively.

[0056] In this way, the two bosses 1111 of the insulating sleeve 111 abut the two opposite side walls of the box body 21, respectively, and the insulating sleeve 111 is clamped between the two side walls of the box body 21, so that the adapter 10 can be fixed more stably.

[0057] In an illustrative embodiment, the plate surface of the box cover 22 towards the box body 21 is provided with a convex rib 221. The number of convex ribs 221 can be multiple. The multiple convex ribs 221 are parallel to each other and spaced apart. The bottom end of the convex rib 221 towards the box body 21 abuts the top end of the insulating sleeve 111 towards the box cover 22.

[0058] In this way, since the convex rib 221 abuts the insulating sleeve 111, the insulating sleeve 111 is clamped between the convex rib 221 and the bottom wall of the box body 21, so that the adapter 10 is fixed more stably.

[0059] In an illustrative embodiment, the wire outlet hole 213 is arranged on a side wall of the box body 21 and located at a corner of an end of the box body 21 which is opposite to the wireless network card 3. A first rib 214 is arranged in the box body 21. The first rib 214 is configured in a strip shape. The first rib 214 is arranged on a bottom wall of the box body 21. The first rib 214 can extend from one side wall of the box body 21 to another side wall opposite to the one side wall, and the first rib 214 can be configured in an L shape. The first rib 214 is located between the connector 10 and the wire outlet hole 213. A bent wire passing channel is enclosed between the first rib 214 and the side wall of the box body 21. An end of the wire passing channel is connected to the wire outlet hole 213. The wire passing channel can extend in an L shape. The wire 20 is arranged along the wire passing channel on the box body 21 and passes through the wire outlet hole 213 of the box body 21. The box cover 22 is provided with a second rib 222 which is aligned with the first rib 214. The second rib 222 can be in an L shape.

[0060] In this way, the wire 20 is arranged along the bent wire passing channel and extends in a meandering manner. When the wire 20 is subjected to a pulling force at an end outside the box body 21, a greater friction force is generated between the wire 20 and the first rib 214 and the second rib 222, which can resist the pulling force of the wire 20, so that the connection between the wire 20 and the connector is not loosened or broken.

[0061] The embodiment also provides an air conditioner. The air conditioner comprises the wireless communication module 100 and a display panel (not shown in the figure). The display panel is a circuit board. The display panel is integrated with a USB function and a display function. The first plug 30 of the wireless communication module 100 is plugged into the display panel, and the wireless network card 3 is electrically connected to the display panel through the USB socket 110, the wire 20 and the first plug 30.

[0062] In this way, the USB function is integrated into the display panel of the air conditioner, and a conversion board does not need to be separately arranged for the USB socket 110, so that the manufacturing cost can be more saved, and the product quality is more reliable.
