A mounting base 2, rectangular in shape, is bolted to the frame 1. Two mounting bases 2 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the frame 1. A through hole 3, penetrating the thickness direction of the mounting base 2, is located in the middle of the mounting base 2 and is rectangular in shape. A rotating base 4, with a U-shaped cross-section, is rotatably connected within the through hole 3. Multiple rotating bases 4 are evenly spaced along the length of the mounting base 2. A rotating shaft 16 is threaded onto the mounting base 2. A circular recessed groove 17, with an interference fit bearing for the rotating shaft 16, is located in the middle of each rotating base 4. A fixing rod 5 is slidably connected within each rotating base 4. Two opposite sidewalls of the rotating base 4 have protrusions 18, rectangular in shape. The fixing rod 5 has a slide rail 19 that mates with the protrusions 18 and is coated with grease. A through groove 6 is provided at the end of the fixing rod 5 away from the fixing base 2. A connecting strip 7 is provided in the through groove 6 on the fixing rod 5 within the same fixing base 2. When the two connecting strips 7 cover the outer wall of the circular electrical connector and are fixed at their intersection, the electrical connector will be fixed on the frame 1. Both ends of the two connecting strips 7 are slidably connected to clips 8 for fixing the two connecting strips 7. The clips 8 are used to fix the connecting strips 7 to the outer wall of the electrical connector. The clips 8 are prior art. A push rod motor 20 is fixed on the fixing base 2 by mounting bolts. The fixing base 2 is provided with a round hole. The output shaft of the push rod motor 20 extends through the round hole to the through hole 3 and is keyed to a fixing plate 21. When the push rod motor 20 is working, the fixing plate 21 presses against the fixing rod 5 to prevent the fixing rod 5 from rotating.

[0023] In one embodiment, according to the appendix Figure 2As shown, the end of the fixed rod 5 is provided with a positioning end 9, the through groove 6 is located on the positioning end 9, the positioning end 9 is glued with a rubber pad 10 in contact with the shell of the electric connector, and the rubber pad 10 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The through groove 6 is provided with a spring 13 near one end of the fixed rod 5, one end of the spring 13 is clamped with a pressing plate 11, and the pressing plate 11 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. The two opposite faces of the positioning end 9 are provided with grooves 12, the grooves 12 are provided with screw rods 14 extending into the through groove 6, and the positioning end 9 is provided with screw holes for connecting the grooves 12 and the through groove 6.
