The guide slope 1106 improves the ease and smoothness of operation of the silicone connector 110, allowing the user to quickly connect the first connector 10 to the sleeve 40. This facilitates the application and promotion of the connector 100. Simultaneously, the guide slope 1106 is located on the side opposite to the first clearance groove 1105 to ensure that the guide slope 1106 does not interfere with the first clearance groove 1105.
