[0051] By abutting the boss 221 against the abutting top 311, the rotating end 22 does not need to be in contact with the rotating member 3, in which case, the volume of the rotating end 22 of the locking member 2 can be reasonably designed or reduced to reduce the space occupied by the locking member 2 inside the shell 1. At the same time, the abutting boss 221 also facilitates abutting against the abutting top 311, so that the abutting top can stably drive the rotating end 22 of the locking member 2 to rotate to drive the locking portion 21 to extend out of or retract from the avoiding hole 123.

When the rotating member 3 rotates to the release position, the unlocking release slot 312 is used to release the rotation limitation of the rotating end 22.

[0059] After the plug 122 is inserted into the USB interface, the control board 5 receives the locking instruction sent by the external terminal device. The control board 5 controls the motor 4 to start working. The motor 4 drives the rotating member 3 to rotate. The rotating member 3 drives the locking abutting portion 311 to rotate, so that the locking abutting portion 311 gradually pushes against the abutting boss 221 to drive the rotating end 22 to rotate. The rotating end 22 compresses the elastic member 7 and drives the locking portion 21 to extend out of the avoiding hole 123.
