The end of the first connecting end 17 away from the first connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the first electrical contact point 26. The end of the second connecting block 30 near the second connecting end 33 is fixedly connected to the second electrical contact point 31. A third snap-fit groove 32 is provided in the second electrical contact point 31. The first electrical contact point 26 snaps into the third snap-fit groove 32. The end of the first connecting block 16 away from the first connecting end 17 is fixedly connected to the first input line 18. The end of the second connecting block 30 away from the second connecting end 33 is fixedly connected to the second input line 35.
