[0030] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The protective component 210 also includes retaining rings 214, which are fixedly installed on both ends of the housing 110. The two ends of the first protective strip 211 and the second protective strip 212 are respectively limited and connected to the retaining rings 214 on the same side. End adhesive tapes 213 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the first protective strip 211 and the second protective strip 212. The ends of the end adhesive tapes 213 pass through the retaining rings 214 and are bonded to the outer sides of the first protective strip 211 and the second protective strip 212. The end adhesive tapes 213 are bonded to the first protective strip 211 and the second protective strip 212 respectively using Velcro.
