One end of the fixing member 304 is movably connected to the rotating portion 302 with the rotating portion 302 as a rotation axis, and a clamping groove 305 is formed inside the fixing member 304. Wherein, in the case that the fixing member 304 fixes the member to be fixed, the member to be fixed is inserted into the card slot 305; in the case where the fixing member 304 does not fix the member to be fixed, the blocking portion 303 is located inside the fixing member 304.
