Two second springs 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the limiting block 9. A plug-in component is located on the left side of the optical module housing 1. The ends of the two second springs 10 furthest from the limiting block 9 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the second cavity 8.

[0033] Specifically: The first spring 5 is fixedly connected to the left end of the push rod 6, and the push rod 6 can be reset under the pulling force of the first spring 5.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The plug-in assembly includes a first protective sleeve 11, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the optical module housing 1.
