The lower cover 102 is provided with a groove 107. The sides of the groove 107 are symmetrically provided with a first side wall 111, a second side wall 110, a third side wall 109, and a fourth side wall 108. A cable locking groove is provided on one side of the fourth side wall 108. The USB male cable connector 104 is symmetrically provided with a first side wall 115, a second side wall 114, and a third side wall 113 on both sides. The tail of the USB male cable connector 104 is provided with a fourth side wall 112. The USB male cable connector 104 is locked into the groove 107. The upper cover 103 is installed on the lower cover 102.

[0026] Specifically, the groove 107 is flared to better engage and secure the USB male connector 104. The first sidewall 111 is in close contact with sidewall 115, the second sidewall 110 is in close contact with sidewall 114, the third sidewall 109 is in close contact with sidewall 113, and the fourth sidewall 108 is in close contact with sidewall 112. By having the sidewall of the groove 107 in close contact with the sidewall of the USB male connector 104, the USB male connector 104 is secured within the lower cover 102.

[0027] Specifically, both the second sidewall 114 and the second sidewall 110 are inclined, and the fourth sidewall 108 and the third sidewall 109 form a 90° angle, that is, a stepped surface is provided between the fourth sidewall 108 and the third sidewall 109, so as to better engage with the third sidewall 113 and the fourth sidewall 112 of the USB cable male connector 104, and ensure the fixed stability of the USB cable male connector 104.

[0029] Specifically, the upper cover 103 has multiple fixing holes 106, and the lower cover 102 has multiple corresponding round holes. The fixing holes 106 are connected to the round holes by bolts, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the upper cover 103 and the lower cover 102.

[0030] Specifically, the male connector 104 of the USB cable has a cable at its tail, which is snapped into the card slot so that part of the cable can also be fixed inside the lower cover 102.

[0031] Specifically, the side height of the groove 107 is greater than the side height of the USB cable male connector 104, that is, the side height of the groove 107 is 1mm greater than the side height of the USB cable male connector 104.

[0032] The following describes the specific installation process of this utility model:

[0033] Screws are sequentially passed through the countersunk hole 105 and the through hole to secure the lower cover 102 and support column 101 to the external industrial computer chassis, thus achieving a fixed connection between the lower cover 102 and the external industrial computer chassis. Then, the USB male connector 104 is placed in the groove 107 of the lower cover 102, with the first sidewall 111 tightly against sidewall 115, the second sidewall 110 tightly against sidewall 114, the third sidewall 109 tightly against sidewall 113, and the fourth sidewall 108 tightly against sidewall 112. The tight fit between the sidewall of the groove 107 and the sidewall of the USB male connector 104 secures the USB male connector 104 within the lower cover 102, allowing it to be well embedded. Finally, the upper cover 103 is fixedly connected to the lower cover 102 using bolts through the fixing hole 106 and the round hole. This design secures the USB cable male connector 104, effectively preventing it from falling off or loosening during transportation or movement, thereby reducing the risk of data loss and extending the lifespan of the USB cable.
