On the other hand, the connecting line between the plug 21 and the positioning module can be routed by the inner part of the supporting rod 22, so that the signal transmission is more stable.

In some examples, the first sleeve 4 is integrally formed with the base 3.

The socket 2 of the present embodiment includes the support rod 22, which extends the distance between the plug 21 and the housing 1, and is suitable for the case where the base 3 is located inside the body. When the base 3 is located inside the body, the support rod 22 of the positioning device extends into the body, i.e. the support rod 22 is wrapped by the body mechanism, which is beneficial to the stability of the connection between the positioning device and the body.

In some embodiments, the clip includes: a latch 8 and a second sleeve 5. The fixture block 8 is telescopically arranged on the side surface of the support rod 22 and close to the second end of the support rod 22. The second sleeve 5 is sleeved on the support rod 22 and can move on the support rod 22. The wall of the second sleeve 5 is provided with a through hole. When the through hole is coincident with the position of the clamping block 8, the top of the clamping block 8 can penetrate through the through hole and extend into the clamping groove. Through removing second sleeve 5, change the relative position of through-hole and fixture block, can make second sleeve 5 compress the fixture block to realize the unblock.

In other examples, the second sleeve 5 is able to rotate on the support bar 22 about the axis of the support bar 22. In still other examples, the second sleeve 5 can move on the support rod 22 along the axial direction of the support rod 22, and can rotate on the support rod 22 around the axis of the support rod 22. When the through hole coincides with the position of the fixture block 8, the top of the fixture block 8 can penetrate through the through hole and extend into the clamping groove, and therefore locking between the support rod 11 and the first sleeve 4 is achieved. When the unlocking is needed, the second sleeve 5 can be moved axially or the second sleeve 5 can be rotated, so that the through hole and the fixture block 8 are displaced relatively, the fixture block 8 is gradually compressed by utilizing any side edge of the second through hole until the fixture block 8 retracts between the side surface of the supporting rod 22 and the inner wall of the second sleeve 5, and the unlocking is realized.

In some examples, the latch 8 includes a top surface and a plurality of side surfaces. Wherein, at least one side is the inclined plane, and the inclined plane inclines to the top surface of fixture block from the root of fixture block 8.

For example, when the second sleeve 5 can only move on the support rod 22 along the axial direction of the support rod 22, to unlock between the latch 8 and the locking slot, the second sleeve 5 needs to be lifted (to move the second sleeve 5 toward the housing 1) or the second sleeve 5 needs to be pressed (to move the second sleeve 5 toward the plug 21), so that the inclined surface is located on the side of the latch 8 facing the end of the support rod 22. For example, when it is designed that the second sleeve 5 needs to be lifted up (the second sleeve 5 is moved toward the housing 1) for unlocking, the inclined surface is located on the side of the latch 8 facing the plug 21; when it is designed that the second sleeve 5 needs to be pressed down (to move the second sleeve 5 in the direction of the plug 21) for unlocking, the inclined surface is located on the side of the latch 8 facing the housing 1. So set up, make the unblock direction of fixture block 8 single, be favorable to the stability that positioner and fuselage are connected.

When the second sleeve can only rotate on the support rod 22 about the axis of the support rod 22, the inclined surface is located on the side of the latch 8 facing away from the direction of rotation of the second sleeve 5. For example, when the second sleeve 5 is designed to be rotated clockwise for unlocking, the inclined surface is the side surface of the fixture block 8 facing counterclockwise; when the second sleeve 5 is designed to rotate anticlockwise to unlock, the inclined surface is the side surface of the fixture block 8 facing clockwise.
